"Okay, got it, you go down first! Later, I'll send for your men to come back. When Liu Xian heard this, he nodded helplessly, and sent the little official out.

Thinking about it, if Fu Tong was not strict in governing the army, it would be impossible for him to directly rush to Jiangling from Xiangyang with 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers in just a few days.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun transferred the garrisons from the counties of Nanjun to Fu Tong, how could this matter be concealed from Liu Xian, who was the Taishou of Nanjun?

After the little official left, a child walked out from behind the screen in Liu Xian's study, and he said to Liu Xian: "Uncle, this Fu Tong should not be underestimated at all!" ”

This child, who looks to be about seven or eight years old, is the prodigy of the Three Kingdoms who was extremely feared by Cao Cao when he was seventeen years old, and sent someone to assassinate him.

"No doubt, you're not studying in your room, what are you doing here?" Although Liu Xian pretended to be angry and asked Zhou Budo, in fact, he was not angry because of his little nephew's interjection.

"Uncle, isn't this the child who has already completed all the homework you assigned, and then ran out to breathe?" Zhou Budo also saw that his uncle didn't blame him, and after explaining, he continued the topic just now and asked, "Uncle, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Let's wait and see what happens!" Hearing this, Liu Xian pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice.

Liu Xian resisted Liu Biao's orders and did not carry out the task of sealing the river, and he was not afraid that Liu Hu would think about Liu Biao's complaint against him because of this. Because he knew that since Liu Hu wanted to continue to serve as the lieutenant of the southern part of Nanjun, he had to take into account the attitude of the families and wealthy merchants inside and outside Jiangling City towards him, and the closure of the river had nothing to do with Liu Hu, so he could not offend Liu Xian and the families and wealthy merchants inside and outside Jiangling City all at once.

"Uncle, if you think so, you're wrong. I know that you are not at all worried that the county governor will report this matter to the state pastor, but how can you conclude that Fu Tong will not report this matter directly to the state pastor? Zhou Budo heard this, and asked bluntly, he had actually expected in advance that his uncle would answer like this, but in his heart, he did not agree with Liu Xian's judgment and handling of this matter.

"Oh! Why is that? No, how do you know that? Hearing this, Liu Xian asked.

Zhou Budo thought for a moment, and then replied bluntly: "Uncle, judging from the style of leading troops, Fu Tong is actually better at defense than offense. In the previous battle of Nanyang County, because there were no capable people in the seven counties in the north of the county, and Fu Tong's ability to control the soldiers under him was very strong, it was not difficult for him to easily take the seven counties in the north of the county with mental calculation or unintentionality.

At that time, what was really difficult was that Fu Tong actually managed to block the siege and attack of Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army, and Cao Ren, which was the most terrifying thing for him. You must know that at that time, from Fu Tong's capture of the seven counties in the north of the county to Cao's army in turn leading troops to attack him, it was only half a year that he was able to form such a strong defense line.

There is no doubt that he is familiar with military books, throughout the ages, it is really rare to see a general like Fu Tong who is good at defense! Therefore, I judge that although Fu Tong is young, he is extremely forbearing, you have resisted the order of the state pastor, and has refused to close the river, after he knows it, it will not come to you to have a conflict, presumably at this time, he has already repaired the book and sent someone to expedite and send it directly to the state pastor. ”

If Jin Jue or Fu Tong heard Zhou Budo's praise for Fu Tong, they would definitely be surprised, such a young child had already begun to familiarize himself with military books.

You must know that in ancient times, when the general literacy rate was extremely low, a child about seven or eight years old, even if he had the ability and conditions, many children had just begun to learn to read.

"So, no, what do you think I should do next?" It is precisely because he attaches great importance to this nephew that Liu Xian did not listen to his advice because of his young age.

Don't look at Zhou Budo's young age, his knowledge and experience are very shallow, but some of his whimsical ideas are still very helpful to Liu Xian.

"No! Uncle, you better order the closure of the river as soon as possible! Because, once Sun Ce led his troops to attack Linyuan County directly, the attitude of these families inside and outside Jiangling City is not easy to say, but those rich merchants are all incorruptible and shameless people, if they have enough interests, they can even sell grain to Sun Cejun behind your back.

However, most of the soldiers in Jiangling City are concentrated in Liu Hu's hands, so you only need to give the order and let Liu Hu send troops to complete the task of sealing the river. When the time comes, whether Liu Hu is strict in execution, he offends everyone because of this, or he deliberately releases water to everyone in secret, and is found out by Fu Tong, and then offends Fu Tong, the person who carries the black pot is always Liu Hu, what does it have to do with you? Zhou Budo did not hesitate to present Liu Xian with a plan that he thought he had planned.

Hearing this, Liu Xian nodded, and replied: "I don't doubt that my son is very right, but at present, it can only be like this for the time being." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Xian immediately sent someone to send an order to the whole city, and from that day on, Jiangling City in Nanjun County and the riverside areas in various counties began to strictly implement the order to close the river issued by the governor of the prefecture, but the executor was Liu Hu.

There is no way, Liu Xian is very different from the Taishou real power in other counties in Jingzhou, because of Liu Hu, he almost does not have any military power in Jiangling City.

Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, Liu Xian took advantage of the relationship with Kuai Yue, and the county orders of several counties in the south under the jurisdiction of Nanjun were all placed by Liu Xian, and these county orders were all in charge of the army, and the guards of Liu Xiantai's guard and the officials in the yamen were also welded soldiers selected by him from the army, although the number was small, but they were all elite.

Liu Xian's secret layout in private was not to create Liu Biao's opposition like Chen Qi or Zhang Xian, he was just to be able to protect himself at a critical moment.

Liu Xian is a native of Lingling County, and he has people in his hometown of Lingling County, so under the instigation of Huanjie, Zhang Xian wants to raise troops against Liu Biao in the four counties of Jingnan, and Liu Xian has already learned about it in advance before Fu Tong gives Liu a warning.

Fu Tong's warning, followed by Liu Biao's series of personnel changes, completely disrupted Zhang Xian's prior planning.

However, Liu Xian was worried that Liu Hu was not Zhang Xian's opponent, and Huang Zu was transferred out of Wuling County, it was difficult to predict whether he would not move at a critical moment.
