Liu Xiu came to Zhao Yun's yard. When he saw Zhao Yun, he looked haggard.

Liu Xiu said, "Zilong, have you seen Kongming?"

Zhao Yun nodded, but did not speak the idea, mood is also a little low.

Originally, Liu Xiu wanted to talk about Liu Bei with Zhao Yun again, but when he saw Zhao Yun's expression, he didn't speak again. After comforting Zhao Yun for a few words, he went back to his yard.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Liu Xiuchen finished his practice, just after breakfast, the attendant came to report Zhuge Liang's visit.

Liu Xiu asked people to invite Zhuge Liang to the hall and talk in the hall.

Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zhuge, have you considered it?"

In the face of Zhuge Liang, Liu Xiu didn't step back in his eyes. Instead, he went straight to the theme as soon as he opened his mouth. This time I talked with Zhuge Liang for the benefit of Jingzhou. It is impossible for Zhuge Liang to gain the upper hand.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xiu, I don't think it's a problem about the co owners of Jingzhou. Jingzhou can be jointly owned, which is also of great benefit to xiugongzi. "

When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Kong Ming, what's my advantage?"

Zhuge Liang said: "first, Jingzhou will not have civil strife, and will not be invaded by the outside world; second, master Qi and master Xiu will join hands to resist foreign enemies, and their strength will be stronger; third, the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

Liu Xiu sneered: "Kong Ming, are you being kicked in the head by a donkey, or is Zhuge Liang I know different from you. How can it come out of your mouth if you have no head or brain like this? "

Tricky and merciless words hit Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was impossible for Liu Xiu to admit it.

Zhuge Liang changed his words and said: "if you want to let Mr. Qi recognize your position, Mr. Xiu must allocate more grain to support Xinye and solve its dilemma."

Liu xiudao: "Kong Ming, if you were me, would you raise a tiger for trouble? I would rather send troops to fight against Liu Bei and let Jingzhou fall into a certain civil strife than drink poison to quench thirst. I choose to suppress the fight on the surface, but in fact there is a hidden crisis. "

Having grasped the initiative of the situation, Liu Xiugen was not afraid of Zhuge Liang.

On the contrary, it is Zhuge Liang who asks for help.

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to negotiate for a while. He asked, "what do you plan to do?"

Liu Xiu said: "first, Liu Qi made a statement admitting that I was a herdsman in Jingzhou; second, Liu Bei left Zhao Yun to stay in Xiangyang and work for me."

Two conditions changed Zhuge Liang's face.

The first condition, Zhuge Liang can still decide, but when it comes to Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang is hard to decide.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "if you can't make the decision, you can go back to Xinye and tell Liu Bei, or ask Liu Bei to go south to Xiangyang to discuss how to deal with it."

"In that case, I will send the news back to Xinye for the time being. Please make a decision."

Zhuge Liang said goodbye immediately and left.

Liu Xiu said, "come here, please come to discuss the matter."

Soldiers down, soon, Xu Shu came to the room.

After a respectful salute, Xu Shu said, "Yuanzhi, Zhuge Liang wants to ask Liu Bei, so Xiangyang is stable in a short time. At this point, we began to act. I've made a plan to build a plank road in the open and live in the dark. "

"How?"

There was a smile in Xu Shu's eyes.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "about the negotiation, I will continue to delay and try to let Liu Bei come to Xiangyang. You now, immediately carry out another plan, next, you ,……”

After the plan was finished, Xu Shu's eyes were shocked. He said with admiration, "the master's plan is not only to build up the plank road in the open, but also to draw money from the bottom of the pot. Once the plan is successful, Liu Bei's confidence will disappear completely. "

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "whether the plan can succeed or not depends on the smooth implementation of the plan."

Xu Shu said, "it will be successful."

After that, Xu Shu turned and left the study to carry out Liu Xiu's plan.

Liu Xiu said, "come on!"

"My Lord!"

A soldier quickly came in and bowed.

Liu Xiu said, "please Kuai Liang, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong come to the prefecture for discussion."

"Yes

The soldier was ordered to turn and leave.

Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong have been living in the city, which is easy to control the situation. Liu Xiu sent someone to inform them that they came directly. When Kuai Liang got the news, he came here at the first time.

In the study, four people sit opposite each other.

Liu Xiu said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan and Mr. zirou, I have made a plan for the battle with Liu Qi. Now I need the cooperation of the three gentlemen."

"How to cooperate?"

Pound opened his mouth with a look of expectation in his eyes.

Liu Xiu said: "next, we need three gentlemen to control grain, prevent Jingzhou grain from flowing into Xinye, and cut off Liu Bei's grain purchasing channels. Without the support of Jingzhou's grain merchants, without the support of Jingzhou, Liu Bei could not achieve food self-sufficiency only by relying on Nanyang County's self-sufficiency. "After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "coupled with the blockade of Cao Ren in the north, Liu Bei's life will be more difficult. At that time, Liu Bei wants to change the situation, and he has no confidence. "

"Don't worry, I will do it well," said pound

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang agreed to carry out Liu Xiu's order.

After arranging everything, Liu Xiu was relieved.

From Liu Cong and Cai Mao's rebellion, to Liu Biao's being killed, to inheriting Jingzhou, to Liu Qi's rebellion, and Zhuge Liang's mission to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu was a little tired.

A tight nerve, can temporarily slow down.

However, after a short rest, Liu Xiu went to Lu Meng's courtyard in person.

After LV Meng was arrested, he was kept in custody. Seeing Lu Meng, he came to the courtyard. In Lu Meng's face, there was no anxiety at all. Even during this period, he ate well and slept well, but he grew a little meat.

Seeing Liu Xiu, LV Meng said, "has master Xiu come to me to solve Cai Mao's rebellion?"

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed. When LV Meng was in custody, he knew what happened in the prefecture. It must be that the servants of his family accidentally let slip their words. It seems that they need to be warned.

Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it's settled. Now I'm a herdsman in Jingzhou."

"Well!"

Lu Meng's eyes showed a look of surprise.

Liu Xiu continued: "Lv Xiaowei followed Sun Quan, just a little Xiaowei. Follow me, I can give you a bigger stage. Therefore, I hope that LV Xiaowei will work for me. "

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu, I will not surrender."

As for Sun Quan, Lu Meng respected Sun Quan from the bottom of his heart. He respected Sun Quan even more and did not want to betray him.

Liu Xiu's eyes became colder and colder. He said in a deep voice, "if LV Xiaowei doesn't want to surrender, I can only kill LV Xiaowei and send your body to Wu County for Sun Quan to deal with. Are you really willing to be killed with your ambition? "

Lu Meng laughed slowly and said, "I'd rather die than surrender."

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he sighed.

Under such circumstances, Lu Meng will not surrender.

Liu Xiu said: "in that case, I can only kill you. LV Xiaowei, it's not my intention to kill you, but if you insist on dying, I can't help it. Come on, send captain Lu on the way. "

Voice fell, two soldiers quickly came in, with a white silk in hand.

"Eighteen years later, I'm a man again."

Lu Meng saw the soldiers come in without fear. With the help of the soldiers, he entered the room.

The roar came from the room.

A moment later, there was no sound.

Liu Xiu got up and left without looking back. Liu Xiu doesn't want to kill such a talented person as LV Meng, but LV Meng doesn't want to surrender. Liu Xiu can only get rid of this threat. After all, he can't keep LV Meng all the time.
