Zhuge Liang's worries are just his worries, not enough for outsiders. If the initiator Kou Yan knew, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, and he was worthy of being a talent jointly recommended by Mr. Shui Jing and the teacher, and he had a sense of crisis. But it's a pity that he is just a worker, and the boss lacks a root in his brain, and no matter how high his IQ is, it is useless.

Here in Changsha, before Liu Qi came, everything was in place, and only the east wind was owed. As soon as Liu Qi came, even the east wind blew. When Zhou Yu came to attack before, the second county of Lingling in Guiyang not only came to the rescue, but also tried to fish in troubled waters, inciting the landlords to rebel against Kou Yan. Kou Yan has been holding back, and now that the eldest son Liu Qi is coming, she wants to settle the old and new accounts together.

On the third day of Liu Qi's arrival in Changsha, two of his handwritten war letters were sent to the desks of Guiyang Taishou and Lingling Taishou. The reason is very crowning, Xiangyang has been negligent in the management of these two counties, and the two Taishou support the soldiers and the people are in trouble.

In addition, neither side of the flood took effective measures to help the people reduce their losses, and the people fled in large numbers, and most of them fled into Changsha. The eldest prince was ordered by his father to take over the management of the two counties, and if the two Taishou knew each other, they would hand over the Taishou Great Seal and the property accumulated over the years beyond their salary and then get out, otherwise the eldest prince would not hesitate to press the border with large soldiers, but also complete his father's explanation.

Even though the two county guards were afraid of Changsha's strength, asking them to hand over the looted property was like cutting their flesh, making them determined to resist to the end. However, this was also expected by Kou Yan and Xu Shu. Kou Yan asked Xu Shu if he needed to send troops to enter the country to encircle and suppress, Xu Shu said that it was completely unnecessary, just let Huang Zhong and Kou Feng lead a large army to beat back and forth on the border between the two counties and Changsha a few times, and then send a fine work to spread the content of Liu Qi's handwritten letter, so that the people of the two counties would know, and then, just wait for the two counties to change their own people.

Kou Yan thought it was a good idea, and other high-level officials in Changsha also thought that it would be a good thing to expand their territory without bloodshed. However, to Xu Shu's surprise, the two Taishou had a very tough attitude, not only sending people to clean up the work, but also entangled the army and tried to fight against Changsha. Although there were small-scale uprisings among the people of the two counties, it was difficult for the spark to affect the overall situation. Things dragged on for a month.

On this day, Xu Shu came to Taishou Mansion to ask to see, Kou Yan put down the matter at hand and sat with him in the study: "The teacher came to look for me, is there anything wrong with the senior brother?" "It's the teacher's mistake, just thinking about the catastrophe and the people need to recuperate, but forgetting that time is fair to everyone, if we don't put enough pressure on us, the other party will feel that they still have a chance to fight back. ”

"You're not wrong, teacher. Kou Yan shook his head, pushed the tea bowl on the opposite side forward, and motioned for Xu Shu to drink tea. Xu Shu picked up the bowl and put it to his lips but put it down: "Delaying the fighter is a taboo for strategists, if I take your plan from the beginning and raise troops to encircle and suppress, you may already be the head of the four counties at this moment, and our purpose of inviting Liu Qi here will be achieved." ”

"How could it be so easy. The corners of Kou Yan's mouth hooked, and he seemed to casually take out a piece of bamboo slips from the pile of bamboo slips on the ground next to the table and handed it to Xu Shu: "You take a look at this first and then make a conclusion." Xu Shu didn't know why, so he took the bamboo slip and opened it to take a look, his brows were deeply locked. While he was looking at the bamboo slips carefully, Kou Yan continued: "This was sent by General Huang a few days ago, and it just came to me yesterday. It's big or small. ”

"I should have thought of it a long time ago......," Xu Shu held the bamboo slip in his hand and muttered: "Long before you cleaned up those heroes, I thought that there would be hands and feet made by Cao thieves here." It's just that I didn't expect them to choose to take the initiative to jump out and stir up trouble this time, I thought they would choose to leave quietly or continue to lurk because they couldn't do anything. ”

"Actually, that's good. Kou Yan laughed and said: "It's better than digging into these details after we take over the second county, which is troublesome." Now they're jumping out and saving us time. "But time waits for no one, and the more blatant they are, the more it shows that the time for the Cao thief to go south is getting closer and closer. In addition, when the eldest prince arrives in Changsha, Xiangyang will definitely deal with it, Liu Jingzhou's life is on the horizon, and we don't have time to wait any longer. ”

"What does the teacher want?" Kou Yan simply handed the question to him. "Actually, you are right, at this time, you should take thunderous measures to prevent future troubles. "I didn't insist at the beginning, because I was afraid that a thunderous blow would not be able to remove the residual poison, and there would be endless disasters in the future, so it took me a whole year to govern Changsha, and it took two external wars to stabilize the situation now. However, Cao Thief is about to send troops, and he won't give me time......"

"It's hard to have both sides of the world, just look at which side is the most urgent. Xu Shu already had a conclusion in his heart. Kou Yan was directly opposite him, and the change in his expression couldn't escape her eyes: "Since the teacher has already come to a conclusion, let's do it, I and the people of Changsha will definitely support you and wait for your triumphant return." ”

Hearing the apprentice say this, Xu Shu's heart warmed, and then he immediately strengthened his judgment: "The subordinates should strive to win and will not disappoint Lord Taishou." "What is Lord Taishou! Here is just our master and apprentice, what kind of "adult" am I in front of you?" Kou Yan retorted dissatisfiedly. Teachers are always like this, and when they talk and talk, they change to a businesslike tone, and adults are grown up and people are short. I want to be closer to him, but he always has a strict face.

"You are the Taishou of Changsha on the surface, but in fact you control the resources of the two counties, and you will master more in the future, not to mention in front of me, even in front of the emperor's uncle, you are already an "adult". Xu Shu's words are slowly full of praise, the apprentice is promising, and the master is honored.

It's just that as soon as he heard the other party mention his father, Kou Yan's face immediately turned cloudy and then turned hail: "They are secretly having fun right now, right? When I take Wuling Lingling in the name of the eldest prince, won't they be going crazy to laugh? He must be counting the days with his fingers now, counting when Liu Jingzhou will lose his breath, as long as Liu Jingzhou loses his breath, he can't wait to fly over with wings." ”

"Yan'er......" Xu Shu called helplessly. There is no way, mentioning Liu Bei'er is like a cat that has been trampled on and hurts its tail, and it is full of hair. "Yan'er, don't forget, Uncle Huang is carrying the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, and he has a common enmity with the thieves, and at this point, our goal is the same. I hope that Cao Thief will go south, and he will fight with Cao Thief and die. It's a pity that he doesn't have that heart at all, and when the enemy comes, he only knows how to run away. ”
