Chapter 201

After returning to lumen mountain, Huang Yueying returns home, while Liu Xiu takes Huang Hu to Xiangyang.

Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Xiufang.

Xia he stood in front of Liu Xiu, slightly lowered his head, his eyes were uneasy, but with a trace of joy. She is Liu Xiu's servant girl, but Liu Xiu is an official in you county. Most of the time, Liu Xiu is not at home.

Equivalent to, summer lotus guarding an empty yard.

However, Liu Xiu is famous and has great prestige in his family. Even if the maid in the yard of the second young master saw Xia he, she was respectful and didn't dare to neglect him. This just made Xia he proud.

Xia he was a young woman in her 28th year. When she worked in the family, she had already understood the things between men and women, and understood the living rules of the family. If you want to be a man, you have to rely on Liu Xiu.

If Liu Xiu takes her in, she can rise to the sky.

Liu Xiu takes the initiative to find her. Xia he's heart keeps beating. He's ready to sacrifice himself. It's a pity that Liu Xiugen didn't notice Xia he's manner and said, "Xia he, go and find out what Liu Bei is doing to find his father in Zhou Mu Fu."

Back at home, Liu Xiu heard that Liu Bei had come.

Liu Xiu didn't know the specific news.

Xia he listened to Liu Xiu's command, and his pretty face showed a look of disappointment. Instantly, she recovered, respectfully agreed, turned and left the room.

In Liu Xiu's eyes, there was a look of meditation.

For Liu Bei, Liu Xiu is extremely afraid, especially with Zhuge Liang's help, Liu Bei has greater potential.

However, Liu Xiu could not kill Liu Bei for the time being.

In fact, Liu Bei only brought Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to Xiangyang, which is a good opportunity to kill Liu Bei. Unfortunately, once Liu Bei died and Xinye lost the person who presided over the army, Jingzhou would lose the northern barrier against Cao Cao. For quite a long time to come, Jingzhou will need Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei can only be kept for the time being, but Liu Xiu can't sit back and watch Liu Bei grow bigger.

About half an hour later, Xiahe came back.

Liu Xiu asked, "what's the matter?"

Xia he replied, "I've heard that Liu Bei came to the prefecture to borrow food from the prefecture."

"Food?" Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and waved: "I know. You can go down."

Summer lotus heart is disappointed, but can only retreat.

Liu Xiu sat alone in his study, planning carefully. Liu Bei's borrowing of grain must be the need of Xinye's army. He thought for a while and made a decision in his heart. He thought, "I have to go to Kuai's house to know the exact news."

Liu Xiu got up and left the prefecture for the Kuai family.

Kuai's, hall.

Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Liu Xiu took their seats.

After some politeness, Kuai Liang said, "young master Xiu, how is your third brother in you county?"

Liu Xiu said: "Dexin is outstanding. He can handle the internal affairs of a county with ease. There is no problem at all. In my opinion, Demin is at least the talent of the prefect. Now he has been wronged. "

Kuai Liang also showed a smile on his face and said, "it's his honor to follow Mr. Xiu."

Kuai Yue said with a smile, "young master Xiu has been in Xiangyang for several days. When do you plan to return to you county?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "the time to leave is not fixed for the time being. We have to wait until Liu Bei's affairs are finished before we return to you county. I'm here to see Mr. Liu Bei for information. You county is too far away from Xiangyang, and it's even more out of reach for Xinye. "

Referring to Liu Bei, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue look dignified.

As the principal of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue said slowly: "Liu Bei's real military strength is unknown. But on the face of it, Liu Bei has more than ten thousand troops, and many of his soldiers are veterans who have followed him from north to south for many years. After Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang went north one after another, the situation in Xinye was hazy and could not be seen through. This time Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to borrow grain, I'm afraid it was the expansion of Liu Bei's army that led to the shortage of grain. "

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, knowing the news, he also had the bottom in his heart.

Kuai Liang then said, "Liu Bei is not willing to leave. You must be on guard against this man."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "thank you for your promotion. I'm not careless with Liu Bei. I also heard that Liu Bei came to borrow grain. This time, I'd like to hear their opinions. "

Kuai Liang said: "in terms of grain, no matter how much, the Lord has to give some. After all, the Lord still relies on Liu Bei to garrison Xinye, so no matter what, it is impossible to cut off Liu Bei's food. "

Liu xiudao: "the lack of food, Liu Bei will also suffer."

Kuai Liang said: "indeed, if the Lord pinches the grain, he pinches Liu Bei's neck. Today, Liu Bei has a complete team of military officers and officials. What he lacks most is food. "

Liu xiudao: "since Liu Bei is short of food, no matter what, we have to let him suffer some losses. Otherwise, if Liu Bei is allowed to grow bigger, it will certainly become a major disaster. "

Kuai Yue said with a smile: "the growth of Liu Bei's power is equivalent to the increase of Liu Qi's power. Cai Mao should be the most anxious one."

Liu Xiu's eyes lit up and said, "thank you for your reminding. I see. This time, with Liu Bei's grain, Cai Mao is the most suitable one. I'll go to the CAI's immediately and ask them to make it a little more difficult for Liu Bei. "Kuai Liang said, "does Master Xiu have a complete plan?"

Liu Xiu said: "almost. This time, Liu Bei has to suffer some losses. In other words, to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and his subordinates and destroy Liu Bei's image. "

Kuai Liang's face showed a happy look, and said: "in that case, Liang will wait and see."

Kuai Yue also said: "I'll wait and see."

Liu xiudao: "Mr. Kuai, if Liu Bei comes to borrow grain, you should know how to do it?"

"Naturally, there is no food," they said with one voice

Liu Xiu laughed and left. Out of the Kuai family, Liu Xiu went straight to the Cai family. When he came to the hall of CAI's mansion, Cai Mao stared at Liu Xiu, with an expression that he didn't want to see. He said, "what's the important thing for you to do

For Liu Xiu, Cai Mao was even more afraid.

He tried to deal with Liu Xiu many times, but he failed in the end. He even made Liu Xiu go to Jiangdong to meet him, but he didn't let Liu Xiu die in Jiangdong. He was in a bad mood.

Liu xiudao: "this time, it's because of the second brother."

Cai Mao said, "what's the matter with Mr. Cong?"

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "big brother went to Xinye and got Liu Bei's help. Now, Liu Bei has a strong army and a firm support for his elder brother. Isn't Mr. Cai in a hurry? Cai Junshi should know Zhuge Liang's ability. If he gives advice to Liu Bei, he will certainly give advice to his elder brother. Once big brother is powerful, second brother will be in danger. "

Cai Mao snorted coldly and said, "Liu Qi is a wolf, and master Xiu is a tiger. Young master Xiu said that young master Qi's bad words were meant to kill people with a knife. "

"Wrong!" Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it's not killing with a knife, it's helping the second brother."

After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "compared with my threat, elder brother is the most direct. After all, elder brother is not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. If Mr. Cai is willing to see elder brother inherit Jingzhou, when I don't say anything. Hey hey, Liu Bei helps elder brother. Once he has made achievements in Xinye, I'm afraid Cai Junshi and others can't slander him in a few words. "

Cai Mao's eyes were still hostile, but he relaxed and said, "come on, what's the matter?"

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth rises, and Cai Mao is loose.

After all, Cai Mao had to think about Liu Cong.

Although Cai Mao knew Liu Xiu's intention, he could only agree.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Liu Bei borrows food from his father. It should be to expand the army. Once Liu Bei becomes bigger, big brother's power will increase, which must be resisted. I hope that Cai Junshi will go to see his father and stop him from borrowing food. In other words, let the father lend Liu Bei less grain. "

"That's the only thing?"

There was a strange look in CAI Mao's eyes.

Liu Xiu shrugged and said, "in fact, it's not a simple thing."

Simply speaking, Cai Mao doesn't need confidence. If I go, I will. Mr. Xiu has nothing else to do. Please leave. Later, our military division will go to see the Lord. "

"Good!"

Liu Xiu nodded and left Cai Fu freely.
