Chapter 441

The name of Liu Xiu's eldest son came back the next day, named Liu Zhen. Zhen word means good luck, peace and happiness. The decision that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan discussed together is to hope Liu Zhen to be safe and auspicious.

Liu Xiu thought the name was ok, so he decided to name the child Liu Zhen.

Back in Xiangyang, time flies.

One and a half months passed in a hurry.

Previously, Wu County sent back the news that the grain in Yizhou had reached more than half, and Zhengyuan kept sending it back to Xiangyang. For Liu Xiu, the delivery of this batch of grain was like sending charcoal in the snow, easing the pressure brought by grain.

In August, the child has been born for three months.

Wu county also sent back news that 300000 stone grain had been delivered, and all bows and arrows had been delivered.

Wenpin returned 30000 soldiers according to the previous plan, but also found a reason to kill Liu Ruo, leaving Fazheng with 30000 soldiers to leave.

When Liu Ruo was killed, although Liu Zhang was angry, he finally swallowed his anger.

After all, he also hated Liu Ruo.

The war between Yizhou and Jingzhou eased down, and the crisis contacts in Jingzhou temporarily restored calm.

On this day, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang came to the prefecture.

Study!

Take your seat.

Kuai Liang had a strong smile in his eyes and said: "Lord, every county has reported the news, and now the grain is constantly transported to every granary. According to the statistics, after two years of harvest last year and this year, we need not worry about the lack of food for at least the next three years. Of course, if we expand our territory, we will say something else. "

"Good!"

In Liu Xiu's eyes, he was very happy.

With food, we can solve our worries.

If there was a shortage of food, Liu Xiugen did not dare to start the war, but now that it has been solved, it will be much easier.

To start a war, Liu Xiu was not afraid at all.

Kuai Liang continued: "Lord, before that, there was a steady stream of 300000 stone grain from Yizhou. This batch of grain has been sampled and checked. After being eaten by livestock, there is no abnormality and it can be used. "

Liu xiudao: "then put it all in the warehouse."

Yi Ji said: "Lord, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to say or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say that," Liu said

Yiji zhengse said: "the Lord inherited the foundation of his ancestors. Liu Biao was Marquis Mu and Chengwu of Jingzhou. After the Lord inherited, he naturally inherited marquis. Now that the Lord has his eldest son, he should make a decision as soon as possible to reassure people. Although it's a matter of the Lord's family, when it comes to the Lord's affairs, there is no family. So I dare to ask the Lord to consider setting up a son. In today's world, the great world is fighting. The Lord is the overlord and the leader. It's also reasonable to establish a son. "

Liu xiudao: "I see. In a few days, I will specially call the officials under my command and announce this."

Yi Ji said: "the Lord is wise."

Kuai Liang changed his words and said, "is the Lord going to start the war?"

Liu Xiu said, "I have this plan."

Now that he has the foundation, Liu Xiu naturally doesn't want to delay any more.

Although the states were rebellious and the situation was turbulent before, the court could not hear any more voices against him after Cao Cao swept the officials of the court, and he quickly calmed down the situation of the States.

Under such circumstances, if we delay a little longer, Cao Cao will recover a lot.

So Liu Xiu can't wait.

Liu Xiu should seize the time, solve the threat of the south in the shortest time, and then go north to fight against Cao Cao.

After a moment's silence, Kuai Liang asked again, "is the Lord going to attack Jiangdong or Nanyang County?"

Kuai Liang always had some resistance to the war. After all, the foundation of Jingzhou was not rich enough. If we can wait another year, Jingzhou will have the best foundation in terms of food, troops and population.

Now that the war begins immediately, there is some tension.

Liu Xiu said, "come here, please Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Huo Jun come to the study for discussion."

"No!"

The attendant outside the study answered, and immediately went to invite someone.

After a short time, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Huo Jun took their seats in the study.

Liu Xiuse said: "please come here to discuss the next war. After this year's bumper harvest and the 300000 stone grain provided by Yizhou, Jingzhou has the chance to start a war. "

Pang Tong said, "is it my Lord's plan to start a war soon?"

"Yes

Liu Xiu nodded, with an unquestionable look in his eyes. Time is very tight, he must do his best, otherwise he will attack Cao Cao. I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.

Pang Tong asked, "what's the problem now?"

Liu Xiu said: "just talented son soft asked, we next, is to go north Nanyang County, or east out of Jiangdong, ask the next trend."Jia Xu took over and said, "I don't think it's right to go north to Nanyang County."

"Why?" Liu Xiu asked.

Jia Xu replied: "going north to Nanyang County means going to war with Cao Cao. Once you have passed Nanyang County, it will be the vast land in the north. Under such circumstances, the Lord has no horses. It must be a great problem to make progress. "

"Although Cao Cao defeated Jingzhou before, he still won a great victory."

"If the attack on Cao Cao is successful, then it's all right. Once there is a deadlock, how can we get out of it? After the deadlock, will Sun Quan, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang sit by and ignore it? "

Jia Xu said: "Jingzhou can't stand under a dangerous wall. I think it's not the right time to attack Cao Cao."

Kuai Liang said: "well, now we have to attack Jiangdong."

"No, don't attack Jiangdong."

Jia Xu shook his head and squinted.

Kuai Liang asked, "military adviser, why?"

Jia explained: "it's well known that Jingzhou and Jiangdong have formed an alliance. If the Lord attacks Jiangdong first, he will be in great trouble. "

"First, the Lord broke the covenant and attacked Jiangdong without authorization, which would give people a word of mouth and make people criticize him for not keeping his word. It will have a certain impact on the Lord's reputation. It will also have a certain impact on the future Lord's winning over other vassals. "

"Second, sun Shangxiang, the second wife, is Sun Quan's sister after all. When the Lord attacked Jiangdong, the second lady must have an idea in her heart. Even though he knew that Jingzhou and Jiangdong could not have been without fighting, there must be a knot in her heart. "

"Third, Cao Cao knew that Jingzhou and Jiangdong had formed an alliance. Once the LORD was good at attacking Jiangdong, Cao Cao could use the name of the son of heaven to denounce the Lord for his treachery and let people in the world take responsibility for him."

Jia Xu said slowly: "so attacking Jiangdong is not the right choice."

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth rose, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Jia Xu's analysis has finally come to the point.

Kuai Liang was good at government affairs, but he was a little weak in marching and fighting. He inquired: "Jia Junshi said it was not suitable to attack Cao Cao or Jiangdong. Then what should we do next? Did you attack Yizhou? You know, we have just eased the relationship with Yizhou. If we attack Yizhou now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. "

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "no, we will not attack Yizhou. Because attacking Yizhou will not bring Jiangdong into the war. I think the next target to attack should be Liu Bei in Jiaozhou. "

"Liu Bei?"

After Kuai Liang and Yi Ji listened, their faces showed strange looks.

Jiaozhou is a barren land with remote terrain. Liu Bei is just surviving in Jiaozhou. Let Liu Bei in Jiaozhou, just let him live and die.

Isn't it a waste of time to attack now?

Jia Xu said: "Liu Bei is based in Jiaozhou. He has Zhuge Liang in literature, Chen Dao in martial arts, and Sun Quan in back. He has already occupied Jiaozhou. Liu Bei is bound to be a disaster if he lets himself go. The most important thing is to attack Jiaozhou, which will lead to Jiangdong Sun Quan. He can't sit back and ignore it. Once Jiangdong started the war first, it can not be said that the Lord broke the covenant. "
