After Cao Cao gave up Jizhou, Liu Shi also gave up Qingzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under the surprise attack of thousands of light cavalry, the defenders of the Cao army of Lujiang began to retreat on all fronts.

Only half a month passed, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops drove to Lujiang and fought with all their might, and both sides suffered heavy losses. But Cao's army was determined to succeed, and Peng's army had to retreat to Jingzhou. The Cao army did not chase either, and the two sides took the border of Jingzhou and the Lujiang River as the boundary, and the two sides ceased fighting.

Liu Shi returned to Chang'an and held a family banquet for Master Xiang Xiong, thanking him for giving him the overlord iron spear, dedicating the Xiang family's secret book to himself, and named him a master craftsman, giving him 100 acres of fertile land, 1,000 taels of gold and silver, and giving his grandson Xiang Dong as the captain of the cavalry.

When the news came out, the whole Han Dynasty shook, and everyone admired the strength of the Xiang craftsman, hundreds of years ago Xiang Liu competed, and hundreds of years later, the Xiang family dedicated their own secrets to achieve a good story for the pacification of the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Rong, who was in Jingnan, heard that the hussar general had returned to Chang'an, and immediately came to meet, Liu Shi was also a feast reception, and gave a mansion in Chang'an for him and Meng to live in, and also gave Meng Huo as the king of Yongchang in the court, and the other Yi kings who followed were also listed one by one according to their titles, and asked for a seal, each of which was given a mansion in Chang'an.

Zhu Rong looked at Liu Shijiao and said with a smile: "The hussar general is really majestic, majestic, generous and benevolent to others, and he is also bold, no wonder Brother Peng has a lot of respect for the general, and even I ask him to marry a brother and sister, and the hussar general must agree!" ”

Liu Shi's face was stunned, and then he smiled: "Mrs. Meng is lively, beautiful, and strong in martial arts, and everyone wants to worship Mrs. Meng as a brother and sister." I don't know why Mrs. Meng said that Zizhen didn't want to be a brother and sister with Mrs. Meng? ”

Zhu Rong grinned and said: "Is the hussar general saying that we Yi people will not be as literate and popular as Han women?" ”

At this time, Chen Lin, who was engaged in the hussar mansion, shouted: "Yi girls must not be rude!" ”

This Chen Linzi Kong Zhang, who was engaged under Yuan Shao's account, took refuge in Liu Shi after Liaodong was captured, and was commissioned by Liu Shi to engage in literature because of his exquisite articles.

Liu Shi waved his hand and said: "Kong Zhang doesn't have to care, Yi is bold and unrestrained, which is refreshing." ”

Then he smiled at Zhu Rong and said: "Han women are not all female celebrities, know poetry and books, and know etiquette. Like Mrs. Meng, she likes martial arts, and there are many people who practice martial arts and practice swords. ”

Zhu Rong was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Then you allowed me to marry Peng Dudu as brother and sister? ”

Liu Shiqi said: "Zizhen and you are brother and sister, why do you want me to agree?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "He said that I am the wife of the king of Yiren, and as the governor of the Han Hussar General, I can't be a brother and sister at will!" I thought it was Peng Tuo who thought I was a Yiren woman who didn't know poetry, women's popularity, and etiquette and was not allowed by the general! In this way, the hussar general doesn't think that I am a woman who is not a woman, a woman who is not a woman, a poet and a book, and etiquette! Is it agreed that I will marry Peng Tuo as a brother and sister, and then see what he will say? ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he already understood Peng Tuo's original intention of not agreeing to marry this Yiren woman as a brother and sister. Sigh secretly, Zi is really too cautious! Then he smiled and said, "Of course I agreed!" I can't be happier that you and Zizhen are brothers and sisters! How can you object? ”

Zhu Rong smiled: "You are such a good host!" I'll call you master from then on! ”

Meng Shu said angrily: "Ah Rong! How can you call someone a master at will? You're the wife of the king of my country! ”

Zhu Rong rolled his eyes and said, "Meng Huo!" Have you seen the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, how many generals are a hundred times stronger than you? Do you still want to drag the Yi people into the conquest against the Han again? ”

Meng Shu said angrily: "Who said that? ”

Zhu Rong said suspiciously: "Then who are?" ”

Meng Shu said: "You are my wife, you call the hussar general the master, so what about me?" I'm the king of all people! ”

Liu Shi smiled: "King Meng doesn't have to worry! We have our own opinions, Peng Tuo is my general, not my slave, and the lord is not a master, just because he does things for me, a kind of honorific title for me. Besides, Mrs. Meng doesn't have to call me the same as Zizhen! ”

Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see! You Han people are really complicated, I have studied Han etiquette for more than ten years, but I haven't learned the Han people's explanation of the lord, I still think the lord is the master? ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Now that it's clear, come!" A big banquet for King Meng! I also congratulate Rong and Zizhen on being brothers and sisters! ”

Liu Shi is approachable, respects the customs of the Yi people, and is staggered with the Yi people, and is comprehensive in all aspects. Yi people are bold, the wine is hot, Meng Shu said: "General! Before this king was in the future, he thought that I was already powerful! When I came to the Central Plains, I realized what I really called Yiren and what to sit on and watch the sky. In the battle of the Central Plains, there were more than one million people who moved, and the strong soldiers and sharp weapons were unheard of by our people, and the huge ships of the building ships were more like giant mountains moving. Don't dare to have another dissent. ”

The other Yi kings said: "Cao thief snatching Han, it is against morality, we and other Yi people should help the hussar general, beat Cao thief, let him also know the interests of our Yi people." ”

The other Yi kings also chimed in: "That's it! It is! ”

One of the kings said, "For the hussar general!" I'm willing to recruit another 3,000 strong soldiers!" ”

This one said, "I will give two thousand!" ”

The one who said, "May you give five thousand!" ”

Meng said: "Good! This king will go back and recruit another 30,000 troops for the hussar general to help the hussar general! ”

Zhu Rong said with a smile: "This is almost like my husband, since I have defected to the Han Dynasty!" If the Han is in trouble, I am in trouble! ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Okay! Our Hanyi is a family, I would like to toast you again! After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.

The guests and hosts drank happily and returned home in the evening!

Liu Shi and Meng Shu drank a few more cups, and they didn't get up until the next day.

I just finished washing, ate a little soup, and walked to the hall to see Li Ru, Xun You and others waiting. Hurriedly said: "What's the urgency?" ”

Li Ru said: "There is no urgency, but the governor of Jizhou Zhao and Wang Tingshi sent a letter, saying: "Jizhou has been plundered by the Cao army, and hundreds of thousands of people need relief, and now a strategy has been come up, please review it!" ”

Liu Shi took a look, frowned and said, "There are more than 300,000 people?" There are more than 1,000 gentry? ”

Li Ru nodded!

Liu Shidao: "How much grain is there in the states under the jurisdiction of my Hussar Prefecture, and can it be satisfied?" ”

Li Ru said: "In recent years, several states under the jurisdiction of the Hussar Prefecture have vigorously built canals and weirs, improved fertile fields and slopes, lightly levied thin taxes, urged the people to work for relief, and encouraged the planting of melons and fruits to cope with the disaster year. ”

Liu Shi glanced at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Wen You has been tired in the past few years!" ”

He said to Xun You: "What do you think of Gongda? ”

Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Cao has been tired of fighting, and his people are no less tired than us. I thought that since he had retreated to the river, he would have to recuperate for a few years! ”

Liu Shi nodded and said: "What Gongda said is in line with me, Cao Cao is bounded by the river, and he must defend the danger, and then concentrate on solving political affairs, boosting people's livelihood, accumulating financial resources, and then fighting to the death with me!" ”

Li Ru said: "That's the case, you can't guard against it!" ”

Liu Shi nodded!
