In the sixth year of Xiping, September

Song Yu told the old man to return to his hometown, and later the general Yuan Shu was the ruling Jinwu.

Liu Mo discussed with the Son of Heaven about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and the Son of Heaven did not meet him in private, but also called Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cui Wei, a total of eight people, to negotiate important matters in the Hall of Virtue, and to be summoned by the Son of Heaven proves their status in the heart of the Son of Heaven, these people are very happy, of course, there are also Jia Xu like this, who have no choice but to come.

He didn't stay in Ningzhou for a few years, and he was quickly brought back to the court and served as a lieutenant, he also made meritorious contributions in the Xiliang War, followed Duan Cheng, followed Zhang Wen, and served as a lieutenant, but after he took office, he was still as low-key as usual, sitting among the hundred officials, and not participating in any struggle, which made the generals not very convinced.

"Liu Gong went like this, there are three things to keep in mind, one is to avoid war, the naval army is less than 20,000, those who can use it, only Dian Wei under more than 6,000 horses, Gongsun Zhan under 3,000, Xu Rong under 10,000, Dian Wei's soldiers, is the original Dong Jun's fierce soldiers, Dian Wei has been with Yizhou for a long time, only Tongshan battle, Xu Rong is the army of Huangfu Song, Xu Rong has been a captain for many years, but there are few actual combat ....."

"Those who can rely on Dulu Fengxian and Taishi Ziyi, these two people, the soldiers and horses have not been mobilized, and they have lived in the east for a long time..."

"Therefore do not conquer without permission..."

"Second, it is the safety of the king of the widows, the king of the widows rushed to this time, I think, there must be villains plotting to kill, and Liu Gong must ensure his safety..."

"Third, Donghao and Wadao have frequent business and trade exchanges, and the waterway cannot be destroyed, and the specific matters can be discussed with Liu Xuande, who is a great talent, and is a disciple of Sikong Lu Gong....." Cao Cao looked at Liu Mo and told them one by one, everyone listened patiently, after Cao Cao finished speaking, Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Cao Cao's words to avoid war and protect the lord, I agree, but the business and trade matters may not be necessary." ”

Xun Yu said: "If the king wants to ascend the throne, it will definitely disturb the situation of the island, and the island of the island for a long time is to exchange goods for the Han Dynasty's military grain and grass. What's more, the situation is chaotic, and the business is decided, this move is too embarrassing for Liu Gong...."

"Xun Jun's words are also fallacious, don't you know, Lu Gong has already said that bartering is not allowed, and now the countries of the Wadao are all exchanging things for the copper money of my Han Dynasty, buying things with money, and the Han does not accept the money of the Japanese, so that the Han money enters the Japanese people, and there are many Japanese islands, and they are completely traded with Han money, this is the great policy of the Duke of Lu, if the trade is cut off, will it not make the policy of the Duke of Lu fail?"

"What's more, the armament they bought was eliminated by the Han army, as for the grain and grass, it can't be stored for a long time, if there is any change, the grain and grass trade can be stopped, Xun Jun doesn't know about agriculture, maybe he doesn't know this..."Guo Jia said with a smile.

Xun Yu's face turned red, seeing him like this, Xun Yu immediately came to his side and pulled his sleeve, for fear that he would get up and fight with Guo Jia, Liu Mo did not speak, thinking about Cao Cao's words in his heart, the Son of Heaven looked at Jia Xu on the side, frowned, and asked, "What does Master Jia think?" ”

"Very good, very good."

"Since Master Jia thinks it's very good, how about going with Liu Jun over there?" The Son of Heaven asked with a smile.

Jia Xu's eyes widened, pondered for a moment, and said, "This... Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking for a long time, on this island, there are many countries, if it is pressed on a large scale, even the ministers will go together, I am afraid that the countries of the island will collude with each other to resist the king's affairs, if the king of the Japanese wants to ascend the throne, the first thing is not to let the countries unite, the minister thinks that it is enough for Liu Jun to lead 5,000 people to go...."

"After going, Liu Jun can divide the hearts of all countries, especially the Yamatai and the Dog Slave Country, and he can branch with Cao Ang, so that Lu Feng will protect Cao Ang first and go to Yamatai, and it is inconvenient to stay in Yamatai on the grounds of visiting relatives, Liu Mo will go to the Dog Slave Country, and he will not have to contact Cao Ang... The two are divided into...."

Jia Xu spoke, Liu Ming really listened, nodded from time to time, Xun You frowned tightly, he felt more and more that his status was declining, originally, only Jia Xu could compete with him, but now, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao and others have come forward, and more and more he has no place to show his talents, especially Jia Xu, who has been governing the local government for a long time, has thrown himself far away.

And the rest of the newcomers looked at Jia Xu with some shock, they didn't expect that this minister, who has always been low-key and never spoken, like Cui Xu, would have such a talent, but there was nothing unusual, it seemed that only Cui Xu, after Jia Xu finished speaking, this Situ gradually opened his eyes, and said a little soberly:

"I heard that Liu Jun is a native of Donghao, Donghao fish and shrimp are very delicious, go to Wadao, you can bring some fish and shrimp, one by one to meet the king, as a gift, in addition, you have to bring me some back... I'll give you some money in advance, don't forget when you come back..."Cui Wei said, narrowing his eyes again, everyone didn't understand what he meant for a while, Jia Xu moved the corners of his mouth.

Liu Mo looked excited, speaking of the fish and shrimp in Donghao, he suddenly had energy, nodded his head, and said: "Situ Gong's words, the minister will not forget, when he comes back, he will definitely bring it to Situ Gong!" We're there..."

"Wait!" Cao Cao opened his mouth, looked at Liu Mo, and asked, "Jun will definitely have someone to accompany you when you go this time, I don't know who Jun likes?" ”

"Is Huang Zhonghou okay?"

"Yes."

In the end, it was decided.

Everyone left the palace, but Xun You was left behind.

Walking out of the palace, Jia Xu had a little helplessness on his face, he was very envious of those old ministers who returned to their hometowns and ignored government affairs, he also wanted to do that, the Son of Heaven is getting more and more difficult to deal with, and now he can't prevaricate, not to mention, when today's temper is even more violent than Emperor Xiaokang, but I am only over forty years old this year!! How many years will I have to endure in this temple!!

"Alas.... If it was at the beginning, in that Guzang County, I didn't make a plan... I wouldn't have the worries I have today..."

After the Son of Heaven sent away the ministers, he ordered Xun You to rest outside the palace, and ordered Han Men to call Liu An over, Liu An will soon go to the Wa Kingdom and become the Wa King, and the Son of Heaven has to be good to appease him, after all, his fief is too far away, this trip, there is no risk, compared to Liu Xie's Chen Liuwang, his fief is really unbearable, barbarian land, if he is not easy to pacify him, the plan of the Son of Heaven may be in vain.

Liu An came and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Saburo is here? Come, sit..."The little fat man said with a smile, listening to the kind words of the Son of Heaven, Liu An was no longer so nervous, and sat in front of the Son of Heaven, it seems that these days, he is not doing well, his face is a little pale, and the whole person is also a little thinner, the third son of Emperor Xiaokang, only Liu Wei and Liu An are the most similar to him, and Liu Xie is the mother-like.

"San Lang, I see that you don't look good, what's the matter, don't you want to go to Wajima?"

"It's not..."

The Son of Heaven complained as he dealt with the recital on the case; "Look, there's another disaster in Youzhou... I really can't relax for a while...", he sighed, looked at Liu An, his face gradually became solemn, he asked: "San Lang, I know, I let you go to the Wa Kingdom, you must be unhappy in your heart, do you know, why did you let Liu Xie go to Chenliu, did you go to Wa Island?" ”

Liu An felt a little bitter in his heart, of course he knew, because the Son of Heaven and Liu Xie were the same mother.

However, he couldn't say this.

The Son of Heaven said: "Are you thinking, Erlang and I are the same mother, and you are not, is that so?" ”

Liu An raised his head suddenly, his face gloomy, but he didn't answer.

"You are wrong, I and you are both the sons of my father, not to mention that you have grown up with your mother's hand since you were a child... I love Erlang and you in general... The reason why I let you go to the Wa Kingdom is because you are the same as me, like my father! ”

As soon as he said this, Liu An looked a little frightened, and said: "Minister...", the little fat man waved his hand and interrupted him, and said: "Don't be afraid, I mean, Emperor Xiaokang is the emperor of the world, you are similar to your father, you have courage and ability, this, Erlang is not as good as you, I sent you to the Wa Kingdom, just to let you be able to stabilize the Wa Kingdom, so that the Han Dynasty can completely solve the troubles in the Northeast..."

"Except for you and Erlang, I don't have anyone I can trust..."

The Son of Heaven said, Liu An gradually calmed down, there was no panic on his face, but there was some excitement, the two brothers, chatted for a long time, the little fat man said goodbye to Liu An, so that Liu An was ready to travel, after he left, Xun You walked in, a little puzzled, he didn't know why the Son of Heaven left him alone, and the two sat facing each other.

"Shijun..."The Son of Heaven said: "I sent San Lang to the Japanese Island, but I want a minister of the country, who can deal with the major affairs of the Japanese country, in this temple, I can trust, only Shijun, Jia Shi is more and more not to put me in my eyes, only Shijun, treat me as before, I am very happy, I don't know that Shijun may solve my worries... Traveling to the Wa Kingdom? ”

Xun You didn't know how to answer for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" ”

"Shijun don't want to say this, San Lang has had many disagreements with me since he was a child, Shi Jun must be optimistic about San Lang this time, and he must not let him make a big mistake, otherwise, I don't know what to do, after all, he is my brother... As for the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, Shi Jun will temporarily obey Liu Mo, and when the matter is decided, Shi Jun will govern the Wa Kingdom... With the talent of the teacher, I am sure to worry-free!! ”

Xun You thought in his heart, Jia Xu's ability continued to rise after governing outside, and now he was left behind, and Xun Yu in the court, Guo Jia was there, and he had no way to give full play to his ability, so if he could go to the Wa Kingdom, it might not be a good time to display his talents, thinking of this, he nodded heavily and said: "The minister takes the order!" ”

The little fat man had tears in his eyes and took Xun You's hand.

"I and Jun are the story of Taizu and Liuhou!"

..................

At this time, Huang Zhong also came to Liu Mo's courtyard.

"Liu Jun, you live here...?"

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, looking at the scenery of this farmhouse, he felt a little incredible, how could the imperial history of a country live in such a place? He hasn't returned to his hometown yet! Liu Mo stepped forward enthusiastically, invited him in, hurriedly closed the door, and said, "Huang Jun, don't look at the simplicity of my mansion, the beauty of it is not enough..."

Huang Zhong walked in, looked at the chicken that was pecking, laughed, and said, "No wonder they call Jun "Chicken Catching Imperial History", but now it seems that this is the case! Liu Mo smiled and didn't say much, but suddenly someone said: "Is this the Marquis of Huang Zhong, who is known as the "Meritorious General"? I heard that General Huang was brave and broke thousands of enemies in his life, and he was the middle marquis of the Northern Army! ”

Huang Zhong was furious, turned his head to look, but saw half of the child, who was talking angrily, Liu Mo was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "He is still young and ignorant, the general should not be angry...", Huang Zhong has never had a war after serving as the captain of the Yangzhou Navy Military Academy, and the biggest battle is to help the south to fight Zhenla, and capture thousands of people in Zhenla.

Therefore, many people say that Huang Zhong is in a position without merit.

Huang Zhong stared at the kid for a long time before asking, "Is this your son?" ”

"No, it's..."

"My name is Zhuge Liang, and I am the disciple of Shijun!" Zhuge Liang raised his head and said, Liu Mo's eyes widened, and he was at a loss.

Huang Zhong grinned and said, "Yes, I have a son, who is older than you, but not as clever as you...", seeing that Huang Zhong did not blame, Liu Mo let out a sigh of relief, he was still thinking just now, if Huang Zhong wanted to beat Zhuge Liang, where should he run with Zhuge Liang, he pulled Huang Zhong with a smile, sat on the seat, and began to get busy.

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Mo, who was busy in the distance, and asked, "The Son of Heaven issued an edict to me and you to go to Wadao together... I don't know, when will I leave? ”

"In the past few days, Mo has been escorted by General Lao, and I hope that the general will forgive and forgive his sins..."

"I don't know. Why did you want me to go with you? ”

"I have no friends in the temple, only the general... There is General Lao...."Liu Mo slaughtered the chicken and replied with a smile.

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but Jun has just come back from the southwest like this, and he is in a hurry to go to the Wa Kingdom... It can be seen that the monarch's heart for meritorious service is very anxious...", Zhuge Liang snorted coldly and said: "The general looks at this courtyard, can the master be a little greedy for wealth and nobility?" The ministers are all mediocre people, so the master is busy... Why did the general say that? ”

"Alright, don't say any more... General and wait... My meal is still very tasty..."

"The gentleman is far away from cooking, and Liu Gong should invite some house slaves...."

"Hahaha~~~ I'm a barbarian, how dare I call a gentleman?"

"The house slave cooks, but it is not as fragrant as I make, and the general will know later..."Liu Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Mo, who was busy in front of him, and there were no more words, but his heart was a little complicated.

Is this person really as unbearable as Sun Wentai said?
