Chapter 788

After a short time, all the generals under Liu Xiu gathered in the hall.

After the ceremony, they took their seats.

Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and said, "Yangzhou has become stable. There was a navy under Lu Xun on the river, so the Wei army could not go south. When everything was in order, I was ready to return to Xiangyang. Before leaving, make some adjustments. "

When they heard the words, they all looked solemn.

Lu Ji, Lu Xun and others have their own arrangements and will not make any changes.

If Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others want to return to Xiangyang with Liu Xiu, there is no need to adjust.

What really needs to be adjusted is the arrangement of the army.

Huang Zhong had been stationed in Jiaozhou, responsible for the stability of Jiaozhou.

Now, Huang Zhong is not willing to go back.

For no other reason, Huang Zhong wanted to participate in the next World War I.

Knowing what Huang Zhong thought, Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Huang Zhong."

"The end will be here!"

Huang Zhong stood up, a little uneasy.

Liu xiudao said: "Wu county is very close to Taihu Lake. With Lu Xun's Navy stationed, Wu county is safe. It's unnecessary for you to lead your troops in Wuxian county. "

"Moreover, Jiaozhou also needs the army to be in charge."

"You led the second army and retreated to Kuaiji county."

"First, to prepare for the future attack on the state of Wei; second, to control the situation of Jiaozhou."

Liu Xiu made arrangements directly.

In Huang Zhong's heart, he was immediately relieved: "I will obey you!"

As long as he didn't return to Jiaozhou and could make preparations for attacking Cao Cao in the future, Huang Zhong thought it was worth it.

Liu Xiu waves and Huang Zhong returns to his seat.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Tai Shici and said, "Tai Shici."

"The end will be here!"

Then he stood up and saluted.

Liu Xiuse said: "mobilize all the soldiers of the Fourth Army and prepare to withdraw to Jiangxia."

"Here it is

Tai Shici should hold his fist.

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and Tai Shici returned to the table.

Lu Xun looked back and said, "the two branches are arranged properly."

"The end will be here!"

Lu Xun got up and saluted respectfully.

In the past few months, Lu Xun spent most of his time in the naval camp. On the one hand, he reorganized the soldiers, and on the other hand, he urged the craftsmen to build ships.

To build a real Navy, you have to have real big ships.

Without a boat, everything is empty talk.

So what Lu Xun is most concerned about now is the craftsman's shipbuilding.

"Shipbuilding doesn't happen overnight. Even if there are difficulties, we can't give up," Liu said

"I'm still the old saying, what you want, I'll give you. What you lack, I will make up for it. "

"Finally, there must be a Navy worthy of the name."

"But when training the Navy, we should also pay attention to the stability of Yangzhou."

Liu Xiu said: "originally, your uncle served as the governor of Yangzhou, but you can't stay in Yangzhou. You should be an official in Xiangyang. But I believe in you and your ability. I hope you will live up to your high expectations. "

Lu Xun Yili way: "the end will certainly live up to the expectations of the king."

Lu Xun also understood Liu Xiu's words. Lu Ji has the final say that Lu Ji and Lu Xun are both

people. The government of Yangzhou has the final say of Lu's achievements, and Yangzhou's military affairs are governed by Lu Xun.

In such a situation, it is easy to form a dominant family.

Only in the current situation, Lu Xun is the most suitable candidate.

Another reason is that Liu Xiu can control the Lu family. As long as Liu Xiu is there, neither Lu Xun nor Lu Ji can rebel.

As for the future, Liu Xiu naturally needs to adjust.

Lu Xun was like a mirror in his heart. When he returned to the table, he also told himself that he should remember Liu Xiu's points.

Liu Xiu, together with Lu Ji and other officials who stayed in Yangzhou, talked about various things one by one.

Finally, Liu Xiucai ordered to leave.

With an order from Liu Xiu, the troops stationed in Wu County began to pull out.

Liu Xiu also took Fazheng, Ma Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and others to leave Wu County for Xiangyang. This time back to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu went by water, not by land.

The army marched westward along the Yangtze River to Xiangyang.

The news soon spread to Guangling county.

When Cao Pi got the news, he sent it back to Yecheng.

When Cao Cao learns of Liu Xiu's withdrawal from Xiangyang, he is also waiting for Yang Xiu's negotiation. Whether he can take back Zhang Liao and Xun you depends on Yang Xiu's decision.

On this day, Cao Cao summoned Sun Quan.

In the main hall.

Take your seat.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan and said, "Zhongmou, I just got the news that Liu Xiu has completely stabilized the situation in Wu County. Now, go west along the Yangtze River and head for Xiangyang. Now that I have the news, I guess Liu Xiu has returned to Xiangyang. "Sun Quan's face was a little pale and his expression was gloomy.

Sun Quan had known about the defeat of the state of Wu before.

Now, hearing the news of Cao Cao, Sun Quan is more like being struck by lightning, sitting in a daze, a little absent-minded.

He took the initiative as a hostage in exchange for a chance of survival of the state of Wu.

Unexpectedly, it failed in the end.

Sun Quan came back to his senses and said, "King Wei, Liu Xiu and the state of Wei allied to attack the state of Wu in the past. But in the end, Liu Xiu monopolized Yangzhou and annexed Wu. Can the king of Wei swallow this tone when Liu Xiu bullies the king of Wei so much? "

On hearing this, Cao Cao's expression cooled down.

Cao Cao was not happy about the war against Wu.

However, Cao Cao did not blame Liu Xiu for tearing his face and tearing up the alliance, but for the failure of the Wei army.

Liu Xiu's Secret intention of annexing Wu state.

And the state of Wei, too.

It was the defeat of Zhang Liao and Xun you that made Cao Cao very passive, which made Wei difficult.

Cao Cao said, "there is a war between Wang and Liu Xiu."

Sun Quan turned his mind and said: "now, does the king of Wei want to exchange Zhang Liao and Xun you? Ha ha, I'm afraid it's impossible. Liu Xiu was extremely treacherous, and he was not a man who could easily hand over Xun you and Zhang Liao. In particular, these two people are very critical, and Liu Xiu is unlikely to make friends. I suggest that the king of Wei fight directly. "

Cao Cao is a man with personal ideas and will not be easily bewitched.

Sun Quan's intention was to make the state of Wei and the state of Chu fight as soon as possible.

However, Cao Cao had his own ideas. He said with a smile, "when will war start, I have my own discretion. It's just Zhongmou. I'm thinking about a question. Does Liu Xiu care about your life or death? "

When Sun Quan heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.

What does Cao Cao mean?

Sun Quan said, "what does the king of Wei mean?"

Cao Cao stroked his white beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "if Liu Xiu didn't marry sun Shangxiang, you would be useless in the hands of the king."

"However, Liu Xiu was married to the state of Wu."

"Since they are married, Liu Xiu and you are related by marriage."

"Liu Xiu is a cunning and insidious man in politics, in marching and fighting, but it is undeniable that Liu Xiu is quite a man."

"With sun Shangxiang here, we still have a chance to take back Xun you and Zhang Liao."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "now, it's up to Yang Xiu."

Sun Quan suddenly understood.

Cao Cao's intention is to use him as a bargaining chip and then negotiate with Liu Xiu.

Sun Quan slumped on the ground, his heart is even more lost. Liu Xiu is cunning, and Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the hands of Cao Cao, he became a bargaining chip between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and a servant came in.

Cao Cao said, "take the king of Wu down to have a rest, so that he can live and serve."

"Here it is

The attendant left with Sun Quan.
