Tai Shici stood at the gate of the courtyard, his hands closed, and his face looked respectful. He bowed his hands and said, "Tai Shici, I'd like to see you."

On Liu Xiu's face, a smile appeared.

I thought that taishici really left, but I didn't expect that taishici came back and surprised Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu went up, picked up Tai Shici and said, "Ziyi, I'll wait for you."

Taishici said: "the Lord treats taishici like this. Even if taishici is a stubborn stone, it's time to nod."

As a matter of fact, he was quite clear about his situation.

First, Tai Shici has been captured for such a long time. Now when he comes back to Sun Quan, it is inevitable that Sun Quan will have a knot in his heart and doubt Tai Shici. After all, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to release taishici, which was easy to be suspected.

Second, taishici promised Liu Xiu not to take part in the war with Jingzhou, which meant that he could not take part in the war after he returned to Jiangdong. When Jiangdong and Jingzhou were in the same situation, taishici didn't participate in it. It was impossible to challenge Sun Quan's bottom line.

Third, Liu Xiu has done his utmost to taishici, and even released taishici on his own initiative. Such a move moved his heart.

For three reasons, Tai Shici finally chose to work for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "Ziyi, I have completed all the appointments today. You are now submissive and have not made any contribution. I will give you a reward after you have made contributions in the war. For the time being, you will stay by my side and stand by. How about that? "

Taishici said: "the end will listen to the Lord's arrangement!"

After a pause, he said, "Lord, there will be two requests."

"What request?" Liu Xiu asked.

Taishici replied: "first, the family of the general is still in Jiangdong. I hope the Lord will send someone to take them to Xiangyang. Second, although Mo Jiang worked for the Lord, he was well received by Sun Quan, so he begged not to take part in the war with Jiangdong. "

Liu Xiu said, "yes!"

After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "come on."

"Young master!"

Deng AI came in from outside the yard and bowed.

Liu Xiu said, "send someone to invite Deng Zhan. I have something to tell you."

"Yes

Deng AI nodded, turned and left.

Liu xiudao: "Ziyi, sit down and say. Let me tell you about the current situation in Jingzhou. "

They sat down in the courtyard. Liu Xiu told taishici about today's arrangement of Jingzhou and the current structure of Jingzhou, so that taishici could have a clear understanding.

The more taishici listened, the more shocked he was, because Liu Xiu's measures at the beginning of taking office were so powerful that he easily controlled the whole Jingzhou. As long as the military power is in Liu Xiu's hands, Jingzhou will not be in chaos.

After a short time, Deng Zhan came to the yard.

Deng Zhan originally wanted to talk to Liu Xiu about the structure of the royal guards. Although he had some ideas, it was the first time for him to do so. He didn't understand many things and wanted to ask Liu Xiu.

It happened that Liu Xiu was looking for him.

Deng Zhan arched his hand and said, "what can I do for you, my lord?"

In front of Tai Shici, Liu Xiu said, "send someone to sneak into Jiangdong and take Ziyi's family to Xiangyang. It must be done immediately, without any mistake. "

"No!"

Deng Zhan nodded. As soon as he heard this and looked at the expression of Tai Shici, he knew that Liu Xiu had accepted Tai Shici.

Liu Xiu asked, "do you have any questions about the royal guards?"

With these words, Deng Zhan felt more secure and said: "my Lord, at present, the main duty of the royal guards is to supervise the officials in Jingzhou, but the royal guards are an empty shelf. I want to recruit the royal guards in my humble position, but I have a myriad of ideas. I feel there is no place to make efforts. Please make it clear. "

Liu xiudao: "the royal guards are empty for the time being, but it's not difficult to supplement the staff, especially for you, it should be easier. For example, the Rangers in Xiangyang have excellent martial arts skills. They can get information in all directions and quickly get information. "

After a pause, Liu said: "it's OK to recruit people wantonly, but when recruiting people, we must avoid it. Everyone must be reliable. If the person you are looking for is easily bribed or even defected, you should know the consequences. "

Deng Zhanxin awe inspiring, said: "I understand humble."

Liu Xiu added: "the main duty of the royal guards is to supervise officials, but they are not allowed to arrest and interrogate without my order. Arrest and interrogation are required. My consent is required. In addition, the most important point is to inquire about the information of various princes, such as placing spies under them to inquire about the information. You should do all these as soon as possible, build up the royal guards, and make sure that Jingzhou has the best news. "

"Yes

After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Deng Zhan's heart became clearer.

Next, Deng Zhan asked about what the royal guards were going to do, and then left.

Liu Xiu also went back to his study to deal with government affairs.In the afternoon, Huang Hu came to Liu Xiu's room in a hurry and asked the soldiers of Feihu camp what to do? Previously, Liu Xiu's main troops were in Youxian County, and the military power was in Huang Zhong's hands, which meant that the soldiers were all controlled by Huang Zhong.

Huang Hu now wants to set up a flying tiger camp. He doesn't even have a soldier under his command. He's worried for a while.

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu's face and said, "tiger, there are no soldiers. Do you recruit yourself? Keep in mind that the flying tiger camp is responsible for the security of the prefecture and even Xiangyang. It must be the best of the best. It's better to be short than excessive. Do you understand? It is necessary to ensure combat effectiveness. We can't make up for it. "

Huang Hu nodded and said, "third brother, how many people are in the flying tiger camp? How many soldiers are suitable? "

Liu Xiu said: "the number of people should be at least one thousand. I don't limit the number of people, but I'd rather be short than excessive. If I find that the soldiers are weak, they are all cowards, then don't blame me for being impolite. "

Huang Hu Han Han laughed and said: "brother three, don't worry, Huang Hu is absolutely OK. For the time being, I will recruit 1000 soldiers based on 1000." After a pause, Huang Hu said, "third brother, if I write to my father and ask him to dispatch some elite to me, hehe, is that feasible?"

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and a light flashed in his eyes.

This is a good way.

The elite were drawn from Huang Zu's command and formed into his soldiers.

Liu Xiu knew that Huang Hu was a simple boy, but he was as clever as a fool. He had a reputation in his heart. He knew the weight of it, and Huang Hu was loyal and had no double heart. When Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou, the troops under his command were insufficient. It was the quickest way to transfer troops from Huang Zu's command.

If Liu Xiu opens his mouth, it is obviously inappropriate, and it is easy for Huang zusheng to be unconvinced.

But when Huang Hu spoke, the situation was different.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes, but when you write a letter, you must pay attention to the tone and wording. Don't offend your father and let him have any ideas. Do you understand? "

Huang Hu said with a smile, "don't worry. I know that clearly."

With these words, Huang Hu took out a letter directly from his arms and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "third brother, please help me. This is a letter I wrote to my father."

Liu Xiugen didn't take it apart. He gave it back to Huang Hu directly and said, "you can handle things. Brother three can rest assured."

"Yes

Huang Hu's eyes, there is a trace of smile.

After Huang Hu left the prefecture, Liu Xiu continued to deal with Jingzhou's government affairs.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun, Lu Su, Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Wen pin and Xu Shu came to see Liu Xiu. They were all ready to take up their posts. Liu Xiu encouraged the six and personally sent them away.

At present, these six people are the most powerful forces under Liu Xiu's command.

As long as there are no problems with the army headed by Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Wen pin, Jingzhou will remain solid. In addition, once Cao Cao or Sun Quan invades, Liu Xiu can also send soldiers to resist at any time.
