Liu Yan left Jingzhou for more than four years and wanted to return to Jingzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info really arrived in Nanjun, but it was sluggish.

Zhang Fei was in a hurry to go back to Changsha, Pang De was anxious to see Ma Chao, and seeing Liu Yan staying in Nanjun without moving, the two felt inexplicable, Pang De naturally wouldn't ask why, but Zhang Fei couldn't help but find Liu Yan and say that he wanted to go back to Changsha.

Only then did Liu Yan realize her abnormality, agreed to Zhang Fei's request, and let him return to Changsha on his own. She knew that the other party was going back to see her family and sweep Liu Bei's grave by the way.

After Zhang Fei left, Liu Yan took Pang De and set off to Xiangyang. In Xiangyang City, Xu Shu had already waited until his neck was stretched. It was easy to wait for the news that Liu Yan and his party were coming in the direction of Xiangyang.

Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, Xu Shu took Jingzhou Wenwu and others to the official pavilion. It wasn't until the sun was at the top that I saw the eldest princess's honor guard coming slowly.

In order to shatter the "rumors" that "the eldest princess was demoted to a commoner". After Liu Yan left Nanjun, she used a full set of honor guards of the eldest princess to swagger through the city all the way and accept the worship of the people.

As a result, as Liu Yan expected, after occupying Jiangdong and driving out Cao Cao, Jingzhou was unprecedentedly united. The populace was in blind worship for the eldest princess and her leadership team, especially her army. Everywhere the eldest princess drove, the enthusiastic people crowded their heads, vying to kneel her and kowtow to her.

Liu Yan deliberately slowed down and accepted the people's salute. In her opinion, these are all compliments she deserves. She has done so many things for the people of Jingzhou, giving them a strong self-confidence that Liu Biao can't give, although this self-confidence is based on countless blood and sacrifices. However, in troubled times, the people have a strong desire for stability. Whoever will give them a stable life, who wants to take away their hope, their hearts are clear.

The car was suspended at the reception pavilion on the outskirts of Xiangyang City, and the civil and military officials who had been waiting there collectively knelt down to greet them under the leadership of Xu Shu. Liu Yan sat in the car, looking at the teacher's arched back, and suddenly felt that she was ridiculous.

Those things that are worried and afraid are actually blind at all, and he has always been an outsider in his heart. Whether it is an apprentice or a boss, it is not his concern. I always wanted to enter his heart, but I didn't realize that he was a piece of wood and a stone, and he didn't have a heart at all.

Lowering her eyebrows, Liu Yan's mouth hooked a shallow arc: "All the gentlemen have worked hard, let's disperse, three days later, the princess's mansion will be discussed." ”

Leaving these words, the car driver set off again, leaving Xu Shu and a group of officials to see each other off.

Back at the Xiangyang Princess's Mansion, Yaoqin led a group of maidservants to bring Liu Yan in, bathed and changed clothes, changed into heavy princess dresses, put on the dark men's clothes she was used to, and looked at the blurred shadow in the bronze mirror, Liu Yan was satisfied to find that time finally swept away her childishness on her face, and she grew taller.

Yes, she is in her twenties, and in ordinary people's homes, the child she gave birth to would have called her mother a long time ago, but she is still sad for a wooden man, it really shouldn't be!

Thinking of this, Liu Yan's face sank: "Go and invite the military advisor and the master bookkeeper." ”

Xu Shu and Jiang Wan had prepared a thick pile of self-recommendations early in the morning, ready to report to Liu Yan. Hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess had summoned, the two immediately set off, and it didn't take long for them to come to Liu Yan.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Yan was the first to speak: "Cao thief was defeated and fled, Jiangdong returned to obedience, the teacher and senior brother have worked hard for a while." After saying that, he stood up and shook the two of them.

Jiang Wan sat down and almost bounced up from the ground: "No, no, don't dare to be." The things that belong to them are just the things that are within them. Xu Shu also stood up at this time: "This is the result of the concerted efforts of the whole people in Jingzhou, Your Highness does not have to be like this, Your Highness is in Sichuan, he has worked hard, and the results are quite fruitful, and his subordinates have not yet congratulated." ”

"Eh, yes, yes!" "Jiang Wan of Mu Ne reacted at this time and saluted Liu Yan: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Liu Yan smiled slightly: "Senior brother, don't listen to the teacher change the topic, I am in Sichuan, and I am fighting a good fight, where is it so dangerous for you to deal with Cao thieves in Jingzhou." Oh yes, I heard that this time our cavalry suffered the heaviest losses, almost all of them were wiped out?"

Liu Yangang was very shocked when she heard the news. That's 20,000 cavalry, not a small number. She and Zhao Yun have worked hard for so many years, and they have paid immeasurable effort and money in the middle to have this cavalry, but they didn't expect the whole army to be wiped out.

But after listening to Huo Jun's detailed report, she was glad again, after all, it only took 20,000 cavalry to break Cao Cao's camp, and Cao Cao was defeated, and this price was very cheap compared to the results obtained.

Therefore, Liu Yan's tone was relaxed when she asked, and her expression was not dignified. But this question is in the ears of Xu Shu and Jiang Wan, but it is a different taste.

Both of them knew very well that Liu Yan was a person who cherished her wings, and she had repeatedly warned her subordinates to cherish their lives and soldiers, and she clearly opposed large-scale siege warfare in order to make fewer sacrifices.

A lord who would rather spend more money just to die a few fewer people is simply a rare race in such a war-torn era. As a courtier, he also changed his way to persuade her to think about it, where are the immortals in the war.

Just like now, in the face of Liu Yan's questioning, Jiang Wan, who is not good at words, turned to Xu Shu. Xu Shu groaned slightly, and said: "Your Highness, this time we were able to defeat Cao Thief so smoothly, all of them were defeated by this cavalry, and General Xingwu should be the first to take the lead!"

"I am familiar with the ability of this little marquis in Sichuan, if it weren't for the crossbow made by Sister Youyue, the third uncle wouldn't be able to control him, so I sent him to Jingzhou. Liu Yan knew that the teacher wanted to exonerate Ma Chao, but she didn't mean to blame Ma Chao in her heart. But somehow, I got angry after listening to the teacher's words.

Therefore, she changed her words: "However, the 20,000 cavalry were wiped out, and his responsibility is not small, after all, it is the combat power accumulated from scratch for many years, what a pity!" After speaking, she sighed heavily: "Hey, 20,000 soldiers, how many mourning and crying families are behind them!"

"Your Highness said yes!" Jiang Wan was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head at this time. Xu Shu was also speechless for a while. The disciple's heart has always been soft, and the loss this time is indeed shocking, it seems that Ma Chao is going to offset the merits this time, or even exceed the merits.

Seeing that the two people on the other side were silent, Liu Yan knew that they had listened to her words, so she clicked: "Ma Chao's merits and demerits, his own army is impartial." However, this person is Cao Thief's henchman, and this time I brought his cousin Ma Dai and the deputy general Pang De to come, and there are more than three of them, so as to ensure that Xiangyang and Wancheng are safe. I can rest assured that I will move the administrative office to Chengdu. ”

"The subordinates are very curious, who has such a great ability to move His Highness and agree to move the governance office to Chengdu?" Xu Shu couldn't help but ask.

This question has been hidden in his mind for a long time. Ever since he received the paperwork about the preparations for the migration, he has wanted to ask. The apprentice was as stubborn as ever, how could she be convinced?

"Chengdu is very good, and there are benefits to moving there. It doesn't matter who convinces me, the important thing is that I've decided, give you three months to complete the migration. Three months later, we returned to Chengdu together. Liu Yan clapped his head.

Xu Shu's question was not answered, and he was not good at asking again. However, Jiang Wan said matter-of-factly: "My subordinates feel that three months is a bit rushed. ”

"It's up to you, senior brother, to get the job done within three months. There is also a big mess of things waiting for you in Sichuan!" Liu Yan waved her hand, indicating that this matter would not be discussed, and instead said to Xu Shu: "The matter of migration is so decided." Teacher, how about you accompany me to Jiangdong?"

"Okay!" Right now, Xu Shu couldn't say anything other than the word "good". This is not just a matter of estrangement caused by the estrangement of time and distance, it is completely a symbolic inquiry from the king to his subordinates. This question should have been promised by Xu Shu, but Xu Shu was in a complicated mood at this time, and only spit out the word "good" after a thousand turns.

The teacher's embarrassed expression all fell into Liu Yan's eyes, but she pretended not to see it and continued to listen to Jiang Wan's report. The content of the work of more than four years can be clearly reported in a few words, and the government work report sent by the chief registrar has not been completed in five ox carts. Liu Yan felt that ten or twenty days had passed after reading these reports, and there was no need to do anything else.

She gave Jiang Wan three months, which means that the time she gave herself was also three months, and every minute and second was precious. Therefore, after briefly listening to some reports, Liu Yan interrupted Jiang Wan: "Senior brother, I can rest assured that I will do things, and the people of Jingzhou can also rest assured, you can rest assured and boldly arrange, draw up a list for me as soon as possible, who goes and who stays, and you and the teacher discuss a result as soon as possible." I only mention a few people, the generals, the third uncle, the little marquis and his deputy general Pang De, these three people must have stayed. In terms of civil officials, Ma Liang, Chen Zhen, and Yin Ji stayed, and with these six people, there was no problem in running Jingzhou's affairs. As for other details, when I come back from Jiangdong, I believe you have arranged almost everything. ”

Jiang Wan nodded again and again, and carefully noted down the six key people mentioned by the boss. Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Pang De don't have to worry about him, and the military advisor Xu Shu will arrange it. He wanted to focus on the three civil officials, and the boss said that with these three people, he could run the affairs of the entire Jingzhou, which was equivalent to asking him to hand over the affairs of the main book to these three people, of course he didn't care.

After explaining the matter, Jiang Wan said goodbye and went out, leaving only Liu Yan and Narration to sit face to face, and they were cold for a while.

Liu Yan lowered her head and rummaged through the bamboo slips, waiting for Xu Shu to speak first. On the other side, Xu Shu wanted to say something, but he didn't know which one to say first. Seeing that the apprentice lowered his head and only looked at the paperwork, he thought about it again and again, and Changtan said: "Your Highness has been tired of driving and riding for the past few days, and he must be tired, and the subordinates of the relocation will be in order." ”

"I'm not tired, I've been thinking about coming back to see, I've just arrived at the place, how can I be tired! I've seen Zhou Yu, but it's useless, and I've sent him to farm. Where did you leave him?"

In this world, there is only Liu Yan who dares to say that Zhou Yu is useless. At this time, Xu Shu did not feel sorry for Zhou Yu, and said very calmly: "Sun Quan committed suicide, and his subordinates dared to call the shots and buried him in Wu County." ”

"Dead? He is willing to die, very good, I will sacrifice him when I go to Jiangdong. In his position, he was the first to be willing to die. Liu Yan was surprised by the news of Sun Quan's death.

"He was abandoned by his biological mother, and he has nothing to love!" Xu Shu sighed.

"What's the big deal, in this world, no one can live without it! Forget it, the dead won't talk about him. Is Liu Zhang, who is alive, okay?" asked Liu Yan casually.

"He's very good, would you like to see him too?" asked Xu Shu.

"No, where do I have that spare time. Liu Yan didn't think about it and refused: "Teacher thinks, who can take over your affairs in Jingzhou?" Liu Yan waited and waited, but Xu Shu took the initiative to speak, so she had to ask this question herself.

The previous dialogue is actually foreshadowing, and only this question is the most important. Liu Yan only cares about this. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xu Shu directly rejected Liu Yan: "The subordinates must stay in Jingzhou." ”

"No, you have to enter Sichuan with me, and Jingzhou will be handed over to others. The thief has already retreated, and you didn't stay in comparison. Where could Liu Yan hear Xu Shu say not to go with her, and she immediately became furious.

"Your subordinates are here, so you don't have to worry about the future. There are Shiyuan in Sichuan, and there is filial piety, so his subordinates will not draw snakes and add feet. Xu Shu's tone was calm, and there was no joy or anger.

"I don't agree, you have to enter Sichuan with me, this matter will not be discussed!" Liu Yan was anxious and slapped the case: "If there is no suitable candidate at the moment, then look for it slowly, Cao Thief has retreated, we have time." ”

Xu Shu lowered his head and was silent. As far as matters are concerned, his role in Xiangyang is indeed not as good as before. Jiangdong has been pacified, and there are no worries. The Cao thief in the north has just experienced a defeat, and the pattern of dividing the world has been decided. In the future, Jingzhou and Jiangdong should be put together and controlled as a whole instead of dividing and conquering. The six people who have just been specified to stay are actually enough.

In the future, the hidden dangers of Shanyue and the family on the Jiangdong side will be eliminated, and it is not impossible for the two states to merge into one state, and the generals on the Jiangdong side will surrender a lot of ministers!

Xu Shu proposed to stay, naturally out of selfishness, and Liu Yan's performance after coming back showed that she no longer needed to be by her side to remind her from time to time. And her hatred for her refusal to marry has obviously not been eliminated. Xu Shu felt that every day she was widowed, the hatred deepened and the guilt in her heart became a little more.

He couldn't tell what the guilt was about, he blamed himself for his inappropriate words, blamed himself for mishandling it, or blamed himself for not knowing how to change, and he was confused about what he blamed himself.

Before these questions were cleared, keeping a distance was the safest way, but Tu'er clearly understood this truth before, otherwise she would definitely not choose to enter the river, why is she so categorical now that she wants him to follow the river?
