Chapter 204

Pang Tong and Deng Zhan left Xiangyang with 800 soldiers and Lu su. Liu Xiu personally went to see them off.

After sending the party out of Xiangyang City, Liu Xiu returned to the prefecture. Although he was in the mansion, Liu Xiu paid close attention to Liu Bei's news. Liu Bei got ten thousand stone grain in the prefecture. He went to visit the Kuai family and the Cai family, but failed to get a grain.

Liu Xiu understood all this carefully.

Liu Xiu estimated that Liu Bei would visit him next. Liu Bei needs food. If he can't find any other way, finding Liu Xiu is the last choice. As long as Liu Xiu agrees to build a bridge, the Huang family and Pang family can easily solve the problem of 100000 stone grain.

"Da! Dada

A burst of footwork sound, quickly came.

Xia he came to the yard in a hurry and reported: "young master, Liu Bei is waiting outside the house to see him."

"Please

At the corner of his mouth, Liu Xiu raised a smile.

Once upon a time, he was just a concubine of the prefecture, and had no power. In the past, when he saw Liu Bei, he had to salute him respectfully and even look up to him. Now, the great uncle, Liu Bei, who has been through many battles, comes to him personally.

Everything is caused by rights.

Liu Xiu in this life, the more upward efforts, more and more feel that a man can not be powerless for a day.

Powerless and powerless, they can only be mercilessly crushed in this troubled times.

After a while, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun came to the yard. As soon as they enter the courtyard, Liu Xiu's eyes fall on Zhao Yun, who is dressed in white and dignified.

Liu Xiu got up to greet him and said, "Mr. Xuande, we meet again."

Liu Bei clasped his fist in reply and said, "Mr. Xiu, you are very polite."

Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Zhao Yun. He had a guess in his heart and asked, "I haven't seen the people around Xuande Gong. Who is this brave man?"

"This is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong," Liu Bei said

Liu Xiu's secret way is that only Zhao Yun has such a dignified and outstanding temperament. In Liu Xiu's eyes, there was a look of appreciation, praising: "general Zilong's prestige has long been heard by him. I heard that general Zilong used to be a general under the command of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. He was in command of Baima Yicong? There are few rivals in the north. "

Zhao Yun is neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "young master Xiu, I'm flattered. Zhao Yun is just a member of Baima Yi, and it's not worth mentioning."

When Gongsun Zan was alive, Zhao Yun, commander in chief of Baima Yicong, was really powerful.

With the defeat of Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun became homeless and eventually went south to surrender to Liu Bei. Not only that, Liu Bei is like a brother to Zhao Yun, which makes Zhao Yun respect him very much.

Liu Xiu also said: "since general Zilong was born in Baima Yicong, he must be proficient in cavalry training methods. There is a lack of horses in Jiangnan, and there is also a lack of generals who are good at cavalry. It's enviable to have a general like general Zilong in Xuande. "

Zhao Yun said again: "Mr. Xiu, I'm flattered!"

Liu Bei took the initiative to say: "Jingzhou wenpin is a great general, and Cai Junshi is also good at marching. Moreover, young master Xiu himself is a man of both culture and martial arts. "

Liu Xiu took a look at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Oh, just now, influenced by general Zilong's style, he forgot Xuande. Please forgive me."

It is clear that Liu Bei has said something, but Liu Xiu is so ashamed that Liu Bei has no light on his face.

Liu Bei looked calm, but said: "no harm!"

For Liu Bei, Liu Xiu did it intentionally, but Liu Bei didn't care about it. His eyes were calm and he thought, if I didn't have this forbearance, I would have gone home to farm.

Liu Xiu glanced at Zhao Yun again and turned his mind.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu wanted to make it difficult for Liu Bei to prepare for grain production. Now when he saw Zhao Yun, his mind became active.

For Liu Bei, Zhao Yun is a great general.

If you win Zhao Yun, or you alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, it would be the best.

Although Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not brothers, they are better than their blood brothers. It is impossible to alienate Liu, Guan and Zhang. Zhao Yun is different. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei have a good relationship, but in the final analysis, the relationship between their superiors and subordinates has not reached the level of brothers.

Liu Xiu was sensitive and said, "what's the matter with Xuande's visit?"

Liu Bei's expression became serious, and he said, "I'm here to see you. I have something to ask for."

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

Liu Bei said: "Xinye is short of food. The soldiers in the army are in trouble. This time I came to borrow grain from jingshenggong, but I only raised ten thousand stone grain. Ten thousand stone grain is a drop in the bucket for the soldiers in the army. Young master Xiu has outstanding ability and quick thinking. Therefore, I'd like to call on him and ask him for some advice. "

Liu Bei's real purpose is to let Liu Xiu borrow food from the Huang and Pang families.

However, he didn't want to throw out his goal directly. He made a detour and asked Liu Xiu for advice. If Liu Xiu takes the initiative to ask for help from the Pang and Huang families, Liu Bei can ask Liu Xiu for help.

"Alas..."Liu Xiu heard the speech, but sighed.

Liu Bei said, "why do you sigh?"

Liu Xiu said, "doesn't Xuande know my situation? I'm the most embarrassed person in the prefecture. In terms of birth, the eldest brother is the eldest son; in terms of ability, the second brother is outstanding and deeply loved by his father. I'm not the only one, and I'm not likable. So much so that I can only be a magistrate outside. "

"What's more, I don't have the ability to instruct Xuande Gong."

"If Xuande doesn't come to me, I'm afraid I have to find Xuande to guide me."

Liu Xiu sighed and said: "now I'm in charge of you County, I'm always afraid that a bad one will affect the situation of Jingzhou and the prestige of my father. The most important thing is that even my father can only raise ten thousand stone grains. How can I raise more grains? "

When Liu Bei heard the speech, he secretly scolded Liu Xiu for his thick face.

What is a lack of talent and learning?

Cao Cao congratulated the emperor on his birthday. His original intention was to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. But in the end, he suffered a lot, which was caused by you LIU Xiu.

Liu Qi's going north is directed by you, otherwise Liu Qi is still trapped in the prefecture.

Lu Su was killed. You did it.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were cheated by you.

Pile by pile, piece by piece, which one are you shriveled? It's clear that you've let other people eat. This kind of ability is obviously a lie with open eyes.

Liu Bei understands that Liu Xiu deliberately shirks, but there is no way. Who let him ask for help?

Before he came, Liu Bei knew it would not be easy. But it's not easy. Compared with the trembling in Xu county, the life in Xu county is not guaranteed. Now it's very good.

Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "master Xiu is modest. Kong Ming once said that if there are ten talents in the world, master Xiu will have six."

Liu Xiu said: "in my opinion, if the talent of the world is very good, Kong Ming should have six points."

Liu Bei said, "young master Xiu is modest."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "brother Kong Ming is really capable. He is not only good at government affairs, but also good at marching. It's a rare talent to be able to run the army on the horse and run the country on the horse. "

Liu Bei nodded after listening. Liu Bei felt that Zhuge Liang's loyalty was a gift from God.

Liu Bei stares at Liu Xiu and his mind turns.

From the conversation just now, Liu Xiu showed that oil and salt are not in the market. In this case, it's impossible for Liu Xiu to take the initiative to help or lead the topic to borrow food from the Huang and Pang families.

The only way is to get to the point.

Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, Kong Ming originally planned to come to Xiangyang in person, but Xinye has too many government affairs. He can't get away from it. I'm the only one who comes to find Mr. Xiu. Kong Ming hopes to make an alliance with him."

Liu Xiu said, "is this Zhuge Liang's opinion or Xuande Gong's?"

When it comes to business, Liu Xiu looks serious.

Liu Bei looked serious and said solemnly, "Kong Ming's opinion is my opinion. Brother Jingsheng only favors Mr. Cong. Mr. Xiu and Mr. Qi are not valued. No matter Mr. Qi or Mr. Xiu, if you want to succeed, you must unite. An alliance between the two sides is the best choice. "

Liu Xiu laughed and asked, "can Xuande represent the elder brother?"

With a confident look on his face, Liu Bei said with a loud voice: "when I went down to Xiangyang, I visited Mr. Qi. He said that the government affairs of Nanyang County should be handled by me."
