The news of Cao Cao's withdrawal soon spread to Chang'an military camp.

Liu Xiu was relieved when he got the news.

It seems that Cao Cao is going to rest.

Liu Xiu knew that since Cao Cao had stopped, there was no need for him to stay, so he arranged the situation in Chang'an and left with Huang Hu, Sha Moke, FA Zheng, Zhang song, Pang Tong and Jia Xu.

Thousands of people went south to Hanzhong and returned to Nanzheng.

Liu Xiu dealt with the affairs of Hanzhong and took Ma Yunlu to Jingzhou.

Entering Nanyang County, Liu Xiu and his party went to see Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.

Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Ren looked worried and said, "my Lord is back. I've always wanted to find you. No, you haven't been here

Liu Xiu said: "our general Zhang Da was stationed in Nanyang County, which made Cao Ren unable to move forward. Now, what else can I do for you? "

Zhang Ren couldn't smile bitterly and said, "my Lord, I don't know. In order to resist Cao Ren, the last general and Wei Yan have exhausted their mind. It's too difficult. Several times, it's almost unstoppable. "

When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

People are poor.

This time, Zhang Ren had a hard time crying.

Liu xiudao: "come on, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Ren replied, "I need a military adviser for my humble position. You promised me that. But so far, there is no arrangement. Now, under the rule of the Lord, there are six armies, each of which has a military division to deal with government affairs. Only when they are humble here, they have to be busy with government affairs and train soldiers, which is really a lack of skills. Lord, you must help to solve this problem. If you don't solve it, I won't let you go. "

Liu xiuha's smile, Zhang Ren seems to be driven crazy.

"Yes, I'll arrange it for you."

Liu Xiu didn't even think about it and answered directly.

"Who?" Zhang Ren asked

At this time, Zhang Ren's eyes were full of expectation.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others, he didn't want to think about it. It was the counselors around Liu Xiu who couldn't find it. But there are many good people around Liu Xiu, or Xiangyang.

Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "Zhang Ren, what do you think of Zhang song?"

In fact, Zhang song also has talent and ability.

The only drawback is that the face is too sorry for parents.

If Zhang song has the appearance of Zhuge Liang, he is definitely famous.

Unfortunately, Zhang song is so ugly.

Zhang Ren also showed a smile on his face and said, "yes, Zhang song can." Zhang Ren's requirements are not high, it's good to find a suitable person. Although it's better to say that Fazheng is arrogant and not suitable to stay in the military camp, and Zhang Ren can't afford to invite the rest of the villains. So the most suitable person is Zhang song.

Liu Xiu immediately ordered: "Deng Zhan, please come to Zhang song."

"No!"

Deng Zhan returned a, went down to arrange.

After a while, Zhang Song entered the camp. Zhang Song bowed his hand and said, "I'll see you."

"Sit down!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand.

After sitting down, Zhang song took a look.

As an old man in Yizhou, Zhang Song and Zhang Ren naturally know each other.

Liu Xiu said: "ziqiao, today Zhang Ren came to me and said that the Fifth Army has always been a military division, and so far there is no arrangement. I think, on the one hand, you and Zhang Ren are familiar, good match. On the other hand, you're talented enough to be a division in the first army. So, I'm going to let you serve as the commander of the Fifth Army. What do you think? There's no need to force, just say what you really think. "

Zhang Song arched his hand and said, "I'd like to report back to my Lord. I'm willing to serve as a commander of the Fifth Army."

"Good!"

Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face.

Zhang Ren said: "thank you very much

Zhang Song said with a smile, "please give me more advice."

In fact, Zhang song is very clear about his situation. Although he is following Liu Xiu now, his position is quite embarrassing.

First, he was not a military general, and could not fight in the battlefield, and could not achieve great achievements; second, it was obviously inappropriate for him to be the prefect of a county, and to be the governor of a prefecture; third, as a counselor, Liu Xiu had Pang Tong, Jia Xu, FA Zheng and others, who were all first-class conspirators. Compared with them, Zhang song is not qualified.

It can be said that Zhang song has become a typical example of whether high or low.

If you want to go up, you can't climb up.

Let's lower it down. I'm not reconciled.

Now Liu Xiu has arranged a military division for him, which is the most suitable one.

On the one hand, the military division was responsible for contacting Liu Xiu, which ensured that Zhang song was valued by Liu Xiu. On the other hand, as the chief commander of a general, the position of a military division is very important, and it is also an important official position. It can display its talents.

So at present, Zhang song is most suitable to serve as a military adviser.Liu Xiu laughed and said, "in this case, Zhang song will stay in the Fifth Army as a military adviser."

"Yes

Zhang Song bowed his hand to answer the question.

Liu Xiu said: "with Cao Cao's new defeat, Nanyang County has stabilized for the time being, but it is not that there will be no war. As a boundary, we must be careful. All in all, you two communicate more. "

"I understand!"

They nodded.

Liu Xiu called Wei Yan again. Today, Wei Yan has been in the position of the prefect of Nanyang County for many years, and gradually has a great bearing.

Liu Xiu said, "Wen Chang, how about Nanyang County?"

Wei Yan grinned and said, "don't worry, my Lord. Everything is OK. But my Lord, when will we fight back against Cao Cao's wife? Nanyang County is always defending. When can we go all the way north

Liu Xiu said, "soon!"

Wei Yan nodded and had a bottom in his heart.

Liu Xiu also asked Wei Yan to pay attention to some things, and then took the team to Xiangyang.

When Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang, it was October, and the weather was getting colder.

Liu Xiu takes Ma Yunlu back to the backyard and introduces him to Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang and Shi Xuan. Four people together, soon familiar with each other.

Liu Xiu spent two days with his wife and children before he began to deal with government affairs.

Liu Xiuxian met Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and heard about their current government affairs. Relying on the two people to handle things hand in hand, everything in Jingzhou is stable, nothing happened, and this year's Jingzhou has once again achieved a good harvest.

There is no vacancy in Jingzhou's grain.

Liu Xiu's face was full of smiles after hearing the news.

Seeing off Yi Ji and Kuai Liang, Liu Xiu deals with other things.

Time into November, the weather is getting colder.

On this day, Liu Xiu was playing with his son in the backyard, and Deng Zhan came in a hurry. Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu with a solemn expression and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is king in Yecheng."

Liu Xiu's face was solemn and shocked.

Historically, Cao Cao was called king in 216 A.D., but now it is only 210 A.D.

That's six years ahead of schedule.

It is obvious that there are reasons for Cao Cao to be king, or that Cao Cao needs to be king to solve the current difficulties.

Cao Cao gave his son to Huang Yueying, and left the yard with him and went back to his study. Liu Xiu asked Deng Zhan to send for Pang Tong, Jia Xu, FA Zheng, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang.

When they sat down in the study, Liu Xiu said: "just got the news, Cao Cao was king in Yecheng, promoted to the throne of Wei, and was on the throne of princes. He did not submit himself to the throne and was not worshipped by imperial edicts. He worshiped heaven and earth with the crown of emperor, chariot clothes, banners and ceremonial music. He was called Jingbi when he went in and out. The ancestral temple, ancestor and wax were all like the Han Dynasty, and Yecheng was the capital of the state."

People's eyes were shocked when they heard the words.

The news that Cao Cao is king is just too shocking and incredible.

All of a sudden, Fazheng stood up and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is king. If Lord is still a herdsman in Jingzhou, it would be too low. The humble position suggested that the Lord should be called king to fight against Cao Cao. "

Now Liu Xiu is just a herdsman in Jingzhou. His official position is really too small.

In particular, Liu Xiu controlled Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou, and occupied the four states in the world. He was a real overlord and qualified to be king.

Pang Tong said: "in fact, I think it's a good time to be king. If in the past, it was difficult to claim the title of king. Now the Lord has a reason to claim the title of king. The Lord took the crusade against Cao Cao as the reason, and said that he wanted to fight against Cao Cao. He could not see Cao Cao destroy the imperial court, so he called himself the king of resistance. "

This reason has been approved by the public.

On each face, the expression has the look of expectation. Once Liu Xiu became king, they would follow the tide and get countless benefits.
