In the city of Shouchun in Yangzhou, the puppet emperor Liu Xie was in the upper court, and Yuan Shu was standing beside him, with his sword on his side, which was indispensable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the court, it was Liu Bei who was standing, one of the sleeves was empty, and his face looked a little tired.

After half a ring, Liu Xie said: "Uncle Huang conquered the Lujiang River, it is really hard, and it should be rewarded, what does the general think?" ”

Yuan Shu next to him nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, it is a great achievement for Xuande to lead the army to recover Lujiang, it is better to make Xuande the left general, the Marquis of Yangting." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Just do what the general wants, and I hope that Uncle Huang will make persistent efforts and live up to my trust." ”

"Do the Holy Commandment!" Liu Bei bowed and said, "This expedition depends on Your Majesty's Shengming, the prestige of the general, and the lives of the soldiers under your account. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he asked: "The meaning of Xuande is to reward meritorious people?" ”

Liu Bei bowed his hand and said: "General Mingjian, in this expedition, the deputy general Le and the second brother Guan Yu have contributed a lot, and they are prepared to be cheeky." ”

"This ......" Liu Xie hesitated, looked at Yuan Shu, and said, "The matter of rewarding the sergeant is all arranged by the general." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Bei hurriedly said.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "If there is nothing else, let's disperse the dynasty, and the emperor will come to the side hall with me to talk about the feelings of uncle and nephew." ”

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Go, I will feast the soldiers in the mansion, Xuande can come quickly." ”

"No!" Liu Bei bowed, and then followed Liu Xie to the side hall.

Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei and sighed: "Uncle Huang pity the foundation of the Han family?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he bowed down in fear and said: "How dare the minister forget His Majesty's kindness, his heart is towards the Han family, and he doesn't dare to be selfish." ”

Liu Xie helped Liu Bei up and said, "Uncle Huang is like this, my heart is a little calm." ”

"Your Majesty has something to worry about?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Xie sighed and said: "Yuan Shu is arrogant and extravagant, and he treats me very disrespectfully, not a person who supports the Han family, and I hope that it is all on the imperial uncle." ”

Liu Bei also sighed and said: "The minister is now sending people under the fence, it is difficult to perform, and he wants to lead troops outside the tun, recruit troops and buy horses, and wait for the opportunity to serve the king." ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "According to Uncle Huang's plan, tomorrow I will pass on a will and transfer Uncle Huang to be stationed abroad." ”

"Never!" Liu Bei hurriedly said, "If it is ordered by His Majesty, it will definitely arouse Yuan Shu's suspicions, then this strategy will be useless." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "It's still Uncle Huang's thoughtfulness, and I'm careless, but how does Uncle Huang get out?" ”

"The minister has his own plan to get out, please don't worry about it." Liu Bei responded.

Liu Xie was overjoyed and said: "Uncle Huang is both civil and military, wise and brave, and the revival of the Han family is expected." ”

"Although the minister is not talented, I am willing to do my best and sleep at night to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" Liu Bei bowed again.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Uncle Huang retreat, if you let Yuan Shu wait too long, I'm afraid you will be suspicious." ”

"Retire!"

After Liu Bei withdrew from the side hall, he immediately walked towards Yuan Shu's mansion with Guan Yu, who was waiting outside the hall.

Coming to Yuan Shu's mansion, the feast had begun, Liu Bei glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Yuan Shu only left a seat for Liu Bei at the end of the banquet.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei conquered the Lujiang River for Liu Xie, but in fact, he took away a county for Yuan Shu, and this chief guest should be left to Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei's qualifications can't sit in this chief guest seat, the first few seats are fine, and it shouldn't be the last seat.

Yuan Shu sat in the middle, saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu coming, stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat at the end of the seat and said, "Xuande is here?" Let's take a seat. ”

Guan Yu was furious, stretched out his hand and pressed on the saber on his waist, and drew his sword to face each other, Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Guan Yu's wrist and shook his head gently.

"Thank you, General!" Liu Bei said loudly, walked to the last seat, and knelt in front of him.

Guan Yu sat down behind Liu Bei with a calm face, looking extremely displeased, but fortunately, his face was red, but he couldn't see anger.

Yuan Shu raised the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "Now the new Lujiang, please drink this cup together." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shu took the lead in raising his head and drank the wine in the wine bottle, and the other civil and military generals also raised their bottles to congratulate each other and drank together.

Guan Yu was behind Liu Bei and snorted coldly: "It is clear that the eldest brother and I are fighting bravely to take the Lujiang River, but we want to celebrate others, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Liu Bei sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Second brother, don't be reckless, now you are sending people under the fence, looking up to people to snort, don't make mistakes." ”

After speaking, Liu Bei immediately put on a smile, and after wishing Yuan Shu from afar, he drank all the wine in the wine bottle.

"The lord has newly taken the Lujiang River and shocked the world, why not take this opportunity to go north and destroy Cao Cao to avenge the revenge of Nanyang that day?" The chief bookkeeper Li Feng said.

Yuan Shu frowned and said: "I have this intention, then Cao Cao bullied too much that day, and beheaded my beloved general Zhang Xun, this revenge will not be avenged, not a husband!" ”

"My lord!" Yan Xiang, the chief bookkeeper, hurriedly admonished, "Although the capture of Lujiang is famous in the world, if you rashly raise troops to attack Cao, I am afraid that you will suffer from the enemy on your back." ”

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you suffer from the enemy on your back?" ”

The chief bookkeeper Yan Xiangzheng said: "Recently, I heard that Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Zhao Qian of Jinyang were reconciled, and Zhao Qian even gave Nanyang away, but there is a condition, can the lord know what the condition is?" ”

Yuan Shu said impatiently: "How can I know about the matter that the two of them discussed, does Lord Yan know?" ”

Yan Xiang nodded and said, "The condition is that Liu Biao will help Zhao Qian, contain Huaiyang, and restrain the lord." ”

After Yuan Shu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Liu Biao is corrupt, why am I afraid?" The former fought for Nanyang, was repeatedly defeated by me, and his subordinates were defeated, how can he be brave? ”

"Otherwise, I heard that Liu Biao sent the general Wang Wei to garrison Xinyang, which is obviously aimed at the lord." Yan Xiang continued, "If the lord raises troops to attack Cao and Liu Biao takes advantage of the gap, then David is not good, and the lord must be on guard. ”

Yuan Shu frowned, and said unhappily: "Okay, today is only drinking and having fun, state affairs are not mentioned, cheers!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was displeased, everyone stopped mentioning the matter, and drank and sang blessings one after another, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the feast was dispersed, and everyone returned, only Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to wait outside the house, but he stayed.

Yuan Shu glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Why hasn't Xuande retreated yet, you have just returned from the battle, so you should have rested earlier." ”

Liu Bei came to Yuan Shu, bowed deeply, and said: "At the previous banquet, when Master Yan mentioned Liu Biao's matter, he saw that the general seemed to be worried, and he was not prepared, and he was willing to share the general's worries. ”

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Bei up and down, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Xuande has this heart, let's talk about it." ”
