Chapter 281

Liu Xiu took the initiative to say: "General Zhang, thank you very much."

Zhang Ren said: "no thanks. Liu Jingzhou gave away the drawings of the catapult and the rhubarb crossbow for free. It's the Lord who should thank Liu Jingzhou."

The meaning of the words is that Liu Xiu's kindness has been returned.

Liu Xiu was amused that Zhang Ren's words came late.

Before that, he had planted a seed in Fazheng's heart, which would take root sooner or later.

Fazheng looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, Liu Jingzhou has given me the drawing of the rhubarb crossbow and the catapult. Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Yizhou."

Then he shook the drawing in his hand.

Zhang Ren sees this, the corner of his mouth also has a smile.

Fazheng said: "Liu Jingzhou, also deep, goodbye."

"Take your time, no see off!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand and watched them leave.

Shortly after they left, Liu Xiugang was about to have a rest when a valet came in in a hurry and reported: "my Lord, my father-in-law has asked for a visit."

"Please

Liu Xiu waved his hand and thought about how to deal with Fuwan.

Liu Xiu is very clear about the purpose of Fu Wan's coming. He certainly hopes that he will send troops to attack Cao Cao and save Liu Xie.

Naturally, Liu Xiu would not do such a thing.

If we fight with Cao Cao now, we will find ourselves dead.

But on the surface, we have to let Fu Wan go back in peace and let Liu Xie continue to believe him. Even in some cases, Liu Xie provided him with some convenience.

Liu Xiu personally went to the gate to wait, and soon saw Fu Wan coming quickly.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Liu Xiu has met the abbot!"

Fu Wan, with a smile on his face, hastily replied, "Liu Jingzhou is very polite."

Seeing Liu Xiu's attitude, Fu Wan's heart became steadfast. After the inspection of the soldiers, he felt a little uneasy. He worried that Liu Xiu would turn his face and refuse to recognize others. Now I see that Liu Xiu has not changed. He is still the original Liu Xiu. He is steadfast in mind, otherwise Liu Xiu would not meet him at the door in person.

After the guests and the host took their seats, Liu Xiu asked directly, "my father-in-law is visiting late at night. What can I do for you?"

Fu Wan, with a heavy expression, said slowly, "Liu Jingzhou, to be honest, your majesty is facing a very difficult situation, and needs Liu Jingzhou's help urgently."

"Today, a large number of officials in the court have been replaced, and they have all become the people of Cao thief."

"Loyal officials and wise men have been denounced."

"If it goes on like this, the country will be defeated and the great man will die."

Fu Wan's eyes showed a look of hatred and said: "recently, the court has been arguing. Because Cao thief wanted to restore the prime minister, and intended to be the prime minister himself, and then abolish Sangong. "

"The reason why he abolished Sangong was to reduce the number of people in the court and then monopolize power."

"This matter, the Minister of the court has been opposed, and Cao Cao is also actively planning for this matter. I estimate that the thief Cao will eventually go his own way and become the prime minister himself. "

Fu Wan said anxiously: "the situation of the imperial court is getting more and more difficult. Now that Liu Jingzhou is in power and has a strong army, it's time to send troops to attack Cao thieves. Liu Bei is also a loyal man. When Liu Jingzhou attacked the Cao thief, he did not expect to sit back and ignore him. Once he gets involved, it will be better. Attack the thief Cao and make me bigger. "

When Liu Xiu heard about Liu Bei, he was upset. Moreover, Liu Xiu himself did not want to send troops. After listening to Fu Wan's words, he was full of fire.

"I'm afraid the dispatch of troops will be delayed," Liu said

In a word, Fu Wan's expression suddenly tightened. The way he looked at Liu Xiu was also a look of examination.

Fu Wan suppressed his anger and said, "why?"

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "there are three reasons why we can't send troops for the time being."

"First, although the abbot is in Xu county, he must also be concerned about the situation in Jingzhou. Not long ago, I just inherited Jingzhou. With the support of Liu Bei, my eldest brother Liu Qi directly announced that he was appointed as a herdsman in Jingzhou and did not accept my control. "

"At the same time, Liu Bei even incited the Taishou of Nanjun and Wuling to revolt, trying to push me down."

"Fortunately, I responded promptly and calmed the war in the shortest time."

"However, my elder brother Liu Qi is still in Xinye, and there are many officials in Jingzhou who do not agree with me."

"In a short period of time, I don't want to say that it's the deployment of troops. Even self-protection is a problem. The reason why we have to inspect the soldiers today is to frighten the officials and buy me time. "

"Abbot, if I don't mobilize all the troops in Jingzhou to defeat the Cao bandit with only a small number of troops in my hand, it's a fool's dream. Therefore, I need a certain amount of time to sort out the internal affairs, straighten out Jingzhou, and mobilize Jingzhou's strength to serve the king. "

Liu Xiu's words are sincere.With these words, the anger in Fu Wan's eyes subsided a lot.

At least, Liu Xiu's words are reasonable.

Liu Xiu sighed and continued: "the second reason is the threat from Jiangdong. At the beginning of my term of office, Jiangdong had already launched a large-scale military campaign. Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, led the army to attack Changsha County. I have to defeat Zhou Yu's Jiangdong army and stabilize the situation in Changsha County and Jingzhou. Only in this way can I slow down and attack Cao thief. "

"If the rear area is unstable, we will lead our troops to fight. I'm afraid that the rear area will sink as soon as the troops get out of Jingzhou."

Liu Xiuse said: "this is also a problem that must be solved. After sorting out the internal affairs and straightening out the situation in Jingzhou, I must relieve the future trouble in Jingzhou. "

After listening, Fu nodded.

Fu Wan was an official in the imperial court. He knew nothing about military affairs. In terms of intrigue and self-protection, Fu Wan has a lot of reasons, but when it comes to military affairs, he doesn't understand his safety. Listening to Liu Xiu's words, he thinks it's reasonable, so he agrees with Liu Xiu's statement.

Liu Xiu continued: "the third reason is that Jingzhou is short of troops at present. Even if we count the troops who don't listen to orders, it's far from enough. It needs at least 100000 talents to punish Cao thief. But the current situation is far from enough. Therefore, I need to recruit a large number of soldiers for training, and then form combat effectiveness, and then crusade against Cao thief. "

"Alas..."

After listening, the expression on Fu's face showed approval.

Liu Xiu's three reasons have convinced Fu Wan.

Fu Wan asked: "Liu Jingzhou, when can we attack Cao thief at the latest?"

Fu Wan's heart is still not reconciled, worried about Liu Xiu's delay in action, so he chose a date. As long as Liu Xiu said a clear time, he went back to the emperor, and his heart was steady.

Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "next year at the latest!"

In a word, the heart of Fu finished down, but Liu Xiu's heart, but laughed.

This year, Cao Cao has begun to prepare for going south to Jingzhou. Next year, he will surely start a war. At that time, Liu Xiu was busy fighting with Cao Cao. How could he spare time to attack Xu county?

The twists and turns in Liu Xiu's mind are clear.

It's just, I don't know.

Fu Wan thought Liu Xiu agreed and said excitedly: "Liu Jingzhou will send troops next year. With Liu Jingzhou's ability, he will be able to defeat Cao Cao easily. The Great Han Dynasty is finally saved. "

LIU Xiu said with a smile:" don't worry, father-in-law. As a descendant of Liu, Liu Xiu will never forget his blood and responsibilities. Therefore, I will certainly defeat Cao thief. "

"Good! Good

Fu Wan's eyes are full of joy.

At this time, Fu Wan didn't disturb any more. He stood up and arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it's late at night. I won't disturb you. Goodbye. I will return to Xu county early tomorrow morning. So tomorrow morning, I won't come to say goodbye. I hope Liu Jingzhou will manage well in Xiangyang and train an invincible army that can win a battle. "

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "don't worry, uncle. Liu Xiu will do his best and dare not slack off at all." After seeing off Fu, Liu xiuphen told him to go down, no longer meet anyone, and went back to the hospital.
