Chapter 377: Divide and Conquer

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu can also guess the purpose of Liu Sheng's coming to find him, which is nothing more than for the county town. Now listening to Liu Sheng's question, he smiled indifferently and said quietly: "That's right." ”

Liu Sheng sighed and said: "If the virtuous nephew wants to attack the county seat, he must first cross the riverside, but now, there are thousands of county troops on the east bank of the riverside, and there are nearly 100 large and small ships, if the virtuous nephew wants to cross the river, it is not easy!" ”

Liu Xiu didn't pay attention to the thousands of county troops on the other side, but it was indeed very troublesome to cross the river to fight, mainly because there were not enough boats on his side. He smiled and asked, "I don't know what the Holy Father has?" Liu Sheng subconsciously straightened his chest, cleared his throat again, and said: "Our department has already captured Xincai, but Xincai can send troops along the east bank of the river, all the way north, and sneak attack the county army on the east bank, as long as the virtuous nephew can contain the county on the frontal battlefield."

Army, at that time, our two divisions will attack the county army, and the county army will be defeated! ”

Liu Xiu thought about it and felt that Liu Sheng's idea was really good, but he also knew in his heart that Liu Sheng would not help himself for no reason, he must have a plan.

He didn't break it, and said happily: "If it can be like this, of course it would be great." ”

Seeing Liu Xiu accepting the tactics he proposed, Liu Sheng's face was overjoyed, and he said: "I will help the virtuous nephew to lay down the county seat, and when the time comes, the county town and even the north of the county town can be attributed to the virtuous nephew, and the south of the county town should be me, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants?" ”

Really. Liu Sheng's appetite is not small, and he actually wants the vast area south of Pingyu.

It is important to know that the location of Pingyu in Runan is northerly, and if Pingyu is the center and Runan is divided into two, there are more than a dozen counties in the north and more than 20 counties in the south. If it is so divided, Liu Sheng will undoubtedly take a big advantage.

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "The whole world is the king's land, Runan, naturally His Majesty's Runan." The Holy Father and Xiu are both royal ministers, how can they privately divide Runan into two and divide and rule? Liu Sheng looked up and smiled, and said: "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, I don't want to divide the royal land, I just want to draw a boundary in governance. Pingyu and the north of Pingyu are governed by Kexian's nephew, and the south of Pingyu is governed by me, but no matter north and south

, all of them are royal land, and naturally they are not separated from each other. ”

What he meant by this was that he was willing to continue to respect Liu Xuan as the master, but he wanted to pacify the governance of the region south of Yuyu. In other words, he wanted these twenty or so counties to be his dependencies.

If Liu Sheng had sent troops to help during the Battle of Kunyang, and he had made such a request now, Liu Xiu would not have thought it was too much.

But the problem is that at a critical juncture when his own side is in a critical situation, Liu Sheng is watching the fire from the other side, and he has a completely unrelated attitude, and now that he makes such a request, Liu Xiu has to admire his thick skin.

He didn't think much of Liu Sheng in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he said: "The stakes are very high, I can't make the decision myself, I have to ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will make a decision." ”

"Huh?" Liu Sheng waved his hand and said happily: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, such a trivial matter, why bother Your Majesty, the virtuous nephew can make a decision himself." ”

Speaking of this, he leaned over to Liu Xiu's side, and said happily: "Only after the virtuous nephew captured Pingyu, he was stationed in Pingyu and no longer led the army south, and the counties south of Pingyu can all be recovered by our department!" ”

Liu Xiudu was almost happy, Liu Sheng was really a good idea. Their own side captured Pingyu and defeated the county government, and the dragons of Runan were leaderless, where would the counties fight alone?

At this time, as long as the army under Liu Sheng's command rushed over, there was no need to move, and there was no need to lose a single soldier, and the county governments of each county would take the initiative to surrender the city. Sit back and enjoy it, right?

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him, but he didn't smile, Liu Sheng didn't feel embarrassed, he turned his head and nodded to an attendant beside him, who understood, turned around and walked out.

After a short time, the attendant returned to the tent, and at the same time brought in a few of his men, lifted two large boxes, and brought in ten young and beautiful women. Liu Sheng smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "Virtuous nephew, I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a decent meeting gift, so please don't blame the virtuous nephew." As he spoke, several of the attendants put the box down, opened the lid of the box, and the crowd looked inside, and there was a box

In the first box, it was full of coins, and in the other box, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry. Raising his eyes, the golden patches are piercing eyes.

Looking at the ten women, they are also all beautiful, and they are all fifteen or sixteen years old, just the age of Lu.

Liu Xiu's gaze swept over, looked at Liu Sheng puzzled, and asked, "What does Holy Father mean by this?" ”

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, this is just an insignificant meeting gift, and when it is done, I will thank you again!" ”

Liu Xiu blinked, suddenly changed his words, and said: "I heard that Yan You and Chen Mao fled to Chengyang, and they also got an errand under the Holy Father, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then coughed a few times, and said with a dry smile: "This is indeed the case." ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that Yan You and Chen Mao are too famous, and now that they have taken refuge under his command, this matter must not be hidden, rather than hiding it, it is better to admit it generously and openly.

Seeing that Liu Sheng admitted, Liu Xiu nodded, and said: "The Holy Father should know that Yan You and Chen Mao are the mortal enemies of our Han army, whether they are in Nanjun, Nanyang, or Yingchuan, they have caused a lot of casualties to our army. ”

Liu Sheng said: "Virtuous nephew, I know all these things, but if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Now that Yan You and Chen Mao have lost their way and repented, I also saw that the two of them sincerely repented, so I took them for my own use. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Even if you sincerely repent, it is not enough to make up for your past mistakes, the Holy Father should send the heads of the two of them to Wancheng and dedicate them to Your Majesty!" ”

When Liu Sheng heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he grinned secretly.

He has been developing slowly here in Runan, because there is no capable person to help, and since Yan You and Chen Mao took refuge in him, the army under his command has been governed very well, not only the military discipline is strict, but the combat power has also been greatly improved.

During this time, the Yichun, Ancheng, Shenyang, and Xincai occupied by Liu Shengjun's army were all captured by real swords and guns, and if it was before, Liu Sheng didn't dare to imagine that his army could conquer so many county towns in a row.

It can be seen that Yan You and Chen Mao are indeed generals with real skills.

It was precisely because of the presence of the two of them that Liu Sheng's ambition swelled unprecedentedly, and even went all the way to Liu Xiu's camp to discuss with him the matter of dividing Runan between the two sides. Now that Liu Xiu proposed that he should sacrifice the heads of Yan You and Chen Mao, it would be tantamount to asking him to cut off his arm, how could Liu Sheng agree? He turned his mind and said, "This time, the reason why our Han army was able to do so in less than a month,

The rapid capture of Yichun, Ancheng, Shenyang, and Xincai counties is the work of Yan You and Chen Mao, and it can be seen that both of them have the heart of repentance and make up for their mistakes, and I believe that His Majesty will also treat them leniently. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he sighed secretly, when he heard the news that Liu Sheng accepted Yan You and Chen Mao, he suspected that Liu Sheng had a heart of disobedience.

Now he has clearly pointed out Liu Sheng, but he still refuses to get rid of Yan You and Chen Mao, and his disobedience has become more and more obvious.

Liu Xiu didn't say much, he had already said what he should say, if Liu Sheng was still obsessed and insisted on rebelling, no one could do anything. He said, "I can accept this gift from the Holy Father. ”

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was overjoyed and was about to thank Liu Xiu, who continued: "However, with the boundary of public opinion and the division of Runan, I can't make a decision, and I must report it to the imperial court and ask Your Majesty to decide." As soon as he heard this, the joy on Liu Sheng's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a gloomy face. The corners of Liu Sheng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smiling expression, and said, "Virtuous nephew, I have made it very clear, I can help virtuous nephew attack in one fell swoop."

Kejun City, help the virtuous nephew to make a great contribution, when the time comes, the virtuous nephew only needs to rest the troops on the grounds of resting and recuperating the troops, and the troops can be held in Pingyu. ”

In his opinion, this matter is just a gesture for Liu Xiu, and it also saves Liu Xiu the pain of soldiers, obviously it is beneficial to everyone, why doesn't he know how to be flexible?

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "Our department entered Runan, and there was only one purpose, that is, to recover the entire territory of Runan, and how could there be a reason to fight to the peace and no longer go south?" The Father's words are trapping me in unfaithfulness and injustice! ”

Liu Sheng was silently furious, and he couldn't even maintain a smile that didn't smile. He took a deep breath and said word by word, "Isn't the virtuous nephew going to help me?" ”

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Xiu is just doing what he does, and I ask the Holy Father to forgive me." ”

Liu Sheng and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, nodded, said no more, turned around and walked out.

Liu Xiu got up with a smile and asked, "The Holy Father is leaving?" ”

Liu Sheng, who had already walked to the door of the camp tent, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said: "If there is no help from our department, the virtuous nephew wants to cross the riverside and defeat the army on the other side, which is more powerful than the sky!" ”

Liu Xiule stretched out three fingers and said, "Within three days, our army can defeat the army on the other side!" ”

Liu Sheng's face was shocked, and then he looked at Liu Xiu with straight eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly chuckled and said, "I want to see how the virtuous nephew crossed the riverside in three days and defeated the county army!" ”

After speaking, he walked out of the tent without looking back.

As for the two boxes of money he brought, as well as the ten young and beautiful beauties, naturally Liu Xiu didn't leave them, and Liu Sheng's attendants took out the two big boxes and the ten girls.

Seeing this, Ma Wu, Cho Period, Feng Yi and others were quite crying and laughing.

Looking at the back of Liu Shengyi and the others leaving, Ma Wu said angrily and funny: "What the hell is this, the meeting gift sent by you, can you take it back when you leave?" ”

Liu Xiu shrugged disapprovingly and said, "Even if he wants to keep these gifts, we can't accept them!" Seeing that Ma Wu and the others looked at him in surprise, Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "Liu Sheng's heart is not subordinate, it has been revealed, if we accept his gift today, if he really does something rebellious in the future, we will jump into the Yellow River to wash."

It's not clear. "The internal situation of our own side is not peaceful, and it can even be called an undercurrent and full of crises, and at this time, we need to be more cautious and not leave any words and truths for those with ulterior motives.
