"What else? If you don't have anything to do, you'll be gone, I'm tired. ”

Liu Hong waved his sleeves and said.

Liu Hong glanced at the ministers, but none of them stood up to speak, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Then let's retreat." ”

After saying that, he went to the harem.

Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong had already gotten up to leave, so he immediately pulled his unique voice: "Retreat!" ”

Then the ministers bowed and went back.

And a young man dressed in court clothes quickly caught up with an old minister in the court in front.

The old minister's face was ruddy, and he was extremely steady at the beginning, and he knew from a distance that this was a person who practiced martial arts all year round.

And this person is none other than Lu Zhi, who has some friendship with Sun Xiong, who is now in front, and a young man behind him is quickly catching up with Lu Zhi in front.

The man said in a loud voice: "Lord Lu Zhi, please stay!" ”

Lu Zhi heard someone calling, and looked back to see a short young man with a face as dust as dirt chasing after him.

However, the cunning in the man's eyes was hidden deep in his heart and could not be seen.

"Lord Lu, please stay! Cao Cao and Cao Mengde have something to discuss with Lord Lu. ”

Lu Zhi naturally recognized this Cao Cao, whose father Cao Song had only announced his dismissal from the court a year before.

And Lu Zhi has also heard a lot of Cao Cao's deeds, and he has the impression that Cao Cao is not bad, and Cao Cao stopped himself today.

Lu Zhi also stood on the steps and waited, and after Cao Cao followed, he laughed and said: "Haha, Lord Lu Zhi heard that you have a friendship with General Sun Xiong, who guards the border pass, I don't know if it's or not?" ”

Lu Zhifu looked at Cao Cao, and didn't understand what Cao Cao meant, so he said: "My relationship with Boyo is not a secret, I don't know what Meng De means by this?" ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, Lord Lu Zhi, Cao Cao has already finished asking, so he will retire first."

Cao Cao nodded playfully, and after speaking, he walked down the steps and walked out.

"Huh?" Lu Zhi didn't understand what Cao Cao meant, but he had already gone away.

Lu Zhi thought that it would be better to wait until the next time to visit Cao Cao's house.

Just as the Luoyang Dynasty would disperse, Zhang Rang also obeyed Liu Hong's instructions and drove the carriage slowly towards Yanmen County.

When Zhang Rangxing arrived in Bingzhou, Sun Xiong learned that the Son of Heaven had sent an angel to congratulate him on his victory.

Today, Sun Xiong returned to the Taishou Mansion, and under him were Xi Zhong and Xie An.

Because of the marriage between Sun Xiong and the Xie family, Xie Yi naturally wanted to say something, because in the future, the Sun family and the Xie family will be one family, in this regard, Xie Yi asked Xie An to return to Sun Xiong and sort out the government affairs of the Taishou Mansion.

In this regard, Xie An was also extremely helpless, and at the request of Xie Yi, who was also his father, Xie An also began to take charge of the internal affairs of the Taishou Mansion.

Now that he learned that the angels of the imperial court were coming, Sun Xiong summoned Xie An and Xi Zhong to come to discuss.

Sun Xiong sat on the throne and was very worried about the angel who came this time.

This time it turned out to be a celebrity around the Son of Heaven, Zhang Rang, who doesn't know how much power Zhang Rang has now, and this time it must not be just congratulations.

Sun Xiong was puzzled, so Xie An and Xi Zhong came to the Taishou Mansion to discuss together.

After the two of them listened, Xi Zhong spoke first: "General, I think that the angels of the imperial court are here this time, and it must have something to do with Liu Yuan, who you escorted over a few days ago. ”

"Actually, general, as early as when you captured Liu Yuan, I advised you not to send Liu Yuan to Luoyang for the time being, and now that the angel is here, it must have something to do with your reception of prisoners, come to investigate the situation."

Sun Xiong was also unaware of the seriousness of the matter, and Sun Xiong was loyal to the Han Dynasty and had no rebellion.

And to accommodate the Xiongnu captives, the main thing is to listen to the suggestions of Sun Yun and Xie An, and use the Xiongnu to open up the wasteland.

Now that there are many wastelands, Sun Xiong immediately agreed to this proposal.

"Then when the angel comes, I will make it clear to the angel, so that the Son of Heaven will not blame me."

Sun Xiong thought for a while, and could only think that now he could only answer truthfully, so that the angel knew his intention to take in the Hun captives.

came to dispel the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, but Xi Zhong shook his head and said: "I think that this time the angel came, it must be to be a brutal general, and now you have won the Huns twice in a row, and your reputation is outstanding, and the influence is great and the merit is high, which naturally makes the Son of Heaven want to suppress the general." ”

Xi Zhong's words made Sun Xiong very incomprehensible, and said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty, and I don't have any idea of rebellion, I am now guarding the northern border passes, not allowing foreign races to enter our state, and I have won two consecutive Huns, killing nearly 100,000 enemies, this can't express my loyalty to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty?" ”

Xie An opened his mouth at this time: "Actually, what the military advisor said is not unreasonable, because the general you take in the prisoners privately, even if you kill 100,000 enemies, kill millions of enemies, and keep the alien race out of the grassland, you can't stop the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is actually suspicious, General, no matter how you express your loyalty, but you still can't explain the matter of taking in the prisoners." ”

"I took in the prisoners, naturally to improve the bitter cold side of the state, is it possible that the Son of Heaven still can't understand it." Sun Xiong said bitterly, but he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart for the Son of Heaven.

"In fact, if you want to avoid difficulties and let the suspicion of the Son of Heaven dissipate, it is not impossible."

Xie An smiled confidently.

"Oh? I don't know what you think, Mr. Xie? ”

Xi Zhong also became interested, and these days, Xie An began to deal with the government affairs in the Taishou Mansion.

That's called a quick word, and in just one day, he cleaned up more than half of the government affairs that he had been dragging on.

This made Xi Zhong have to be convinced, Xie An is not only superior in wisdom, but also not to be underestimated in his handling of government affairs.

Now, Xie An actually said that he could solve the concerns of the Son of Heaven, which made Xi Zhong curious, but in fact, Xi Zhong himself had also thought about how to deal with it.

But no matter how you think about it, you can't successfully solve the concerns that arise today.

turned out that Xie An said it today, and Xi Zhong naturally wanted to listen carefully.

"Haha, you all want to know, then I won't sell it."

Xie An touched his chin and said with a chuckle.

"In fact, it is very easy to dispel the concerns of the Son of Heaven, as long as you simply kill these captives in front of the angels."

Xie An said this, in fact, Xi Zhong also thought about it, but Sun Xiong also had to use these prisoners to open a watch, if he killed the prisoners for no reason, it would not only affect the reputation of the general.

The counter-effect is also mentioned for the remaining captives.

"Mr. Xie's words are indeed very good to dispel the concerns of the Son of Heaven, but if we do this, it will be very bad for the reputation of our Yanmen County and the reputation of the general, and now we also need these captives to improve the life of the state for us, this."

Xi Zhong said that this method was actually not feasible, while Sun Xiong was watching the conversation between the two.

Gently stroking the beard on his chin, he nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is good. ”

"Haha, general, don't worry, did I say that it was through our hands?"

Xie An changed his words, looked at the two of them with a playful look.
