Liu Bei was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xu Shu said indifferently: "Now that Xiahou is newly defeated, it will take two days to report the defeat to Xuchang Cao Cao, Cao Cao will rectify the military horses, and it will take more than a month to rush to Xuzhou from Xuchang, and now the season is close to midwinter, Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, how can he ignore the seasonal factors." Therefore, Shu concluded that Cao Cao would never come this year, and it would be the beginning of spring the following year at the earliest. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

*************************

The so-called defense of people is indispensable!

In the days when Xu Shu left Xuzhou, Liu Bei sent a large number of scouts to Yingchuan to inquire about Cao Cao's troops.

At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Chen to go to Xuzhou to find Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and other old ministers to come to assist, and ordered Mi Fang to rush to Youzhou and other places with a handwritten letter to find Zhao Yun's whereabouts, and at the same time appeased a group of old officials who were willing to take refuge in himself and assist him in governing Xuzhou, and dismissed a group of recalcitrant and loyal to Cao Cao.

For a time, the whole territory of Xuzhou was under the rule of Liu Bei!

Xuzhou Xiapi County Thorn History Fuzhong.

Liu Bei sat on the head, in front of a curved bookcase, the bookcase was covered with a roll of bamboo slips, Liu Bei held the pen in one hand, and was engrossed in reviewing the official documents submitted.

I don't know when, Sun Qian has come to this hall and waited in the hall respectfully.

After Liu Bei finished reading, straightened his body, stretched his waist, and then found Sun Gan's figure, and said indifferently: "Gongyou, what's the matter?" ”

"My lord! Yuan Long was ordered by the Son of Heaven to rush to Dongcheng to serve as Taishou, this edict"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and said without thinking: "This is a good thing, Dongcheng is under the rule of Pi, isn't Yuanlong closer to me, this edict is received." ”

Sun Qian said eagerly: "Lord! Although this eastern city is under the rule of Pi, its land is remote, and although Guangling is not under the rule of Pi, it is a strategic place. It was here that Yuanlong defeated the little overlord Sun Ce twice, this person has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, if he moves to Dongcheng, he is afraid that it will be abandoned, and he hopes that the lord will think twice. ”

Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully, put down the pen in his hand, looked at Sun Gan intently, and said, "What Gongyou said is very reasonable. But as a Hanchen, the Son of Heaven ordered me to take it, and the Taishou of Dongcheng must be Yuanlong."

"My lord! Sun Qian was a little surprised.

Liu Bei waved his hand, showed a smile, and continued: "But he doesn't have to rush to Dongcheng to take up his post, this is called being in Xiapi and leading Dongcheng from afar!" ”

Sun Qian realized and bowed down: "The lord is wise." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Bei instructed again: "Yuanlong has always been in poor health, Gongyou needs to choose a person with superb medical skills to accompany him on this trip, and he must bring Yuanlong back to Xiapi safe and sound." ”

Sun Qian promised and immediately turned to leave.

Liu Bei roughly remembered that Chen Deng was sick when he was young, and Hua Tuo once treated him and prescribed a decoction, but he vomited live insects when he ate it, and Chen Deng's condition was relieved, but then Hua Tuo traveled all over the world, so that Chen Deng's old illness relapsed and died.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, this Hua Tuo was smart and confused for a while, why didn't he leave the formula of the decoction before leaving? Now that this man has wandered, where can he find it!!

At this time, Liu Hui entered the palace, saw Liu Bei and saluted, and said, "Hui to see the lord." ”

Liu Bei also returned the salute, waved his hand and pointed to the seat of the head, and said, "Zihui, please." ”

Liu Huiduan sat down and said with a smile: "Lord! Now our military strength has expanded to more than 13,000 people, and each of them is a man who can fight habitually, if Cao Thief dares to come to fight, it will inevitably make him have no return. ”

Liu Bei just smiled indifferently and didn't answer, he really didn't want to open his mouth to hit the confidence of his subordinates, how powerful Cao Cao was, Liu Bei knew very well in his heart.

"What's going on inside the army?"

"Oh!"

Liu Hui almost forgot the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly took out a silk letter from his arms, presented it to Liu Bei, and said, "Lord! The military strength is constantly expanding, and the next person really can't take care of so many troops, so he selected a cadre from the army to assist, and this is the list. ”

Liu Bei tore open the silk letter, looked up and down, there were eight people in total, and then nodded and said, "Very good!" Let's do what Zihui wants. However, do not use power for personal gain, and declare personal vendettas, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Of course, Liu Bei's last sentence did not mean that Liu Hui would use his power for personal gain, he just didn't dare to guarantee that Liu Hui's subordinates would not do this, after all, the role of the political inspector is to stabilize the morale of the army.

Just as the Eighth Route Army did at the beginning, the development of the contingent was too fast, and the quality of the political commissars was uneven, which led to the occurrence of many tragedies.

Liu Hui agreed: "Rest assured, the lord can rest assured, these eight have been tested for a long time, with good character and loyal ambitions, and they can be relied on." ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Bei smiled knowingly and said sonorously: "I will rest assured that this matter will be handed over to Zihui." The position of political inspector is of great importance, and it is imperative that careful consideration be given to the selection of his candidates. ”

Liu Hui nodded, then let out a long breath, got up and prepared to leave.

"Zihui! If there is nothing else to do, please order Mi Zhu to come, I have something important to discuss with him. Liu Bei said indifferently.

Liu Hui didn't react for a while, chewing on the name in his mouth, and after a while, he woke up and said, "Oh! It's that businessman, the wealthy family of the East China Sea. ”

Liu Hui's unintentional words revealed a strong smell of contempt!

Liu Bei was stunned, the pen in his hand paused, his face showed a touch of displeasure, forced him to calmly abandon the pen, and said indifferently: "Zihui!" Businessmen are despised by the world, and the reason is that they do everything they can to chase fame and fortune. However, the lack of any of them will make the world disordered and the people uneasy, and I hope that Zihui can reconsider the businessmen. ”

Liu Hui hurriedly explained: "Lord! Hui didn't despise Shangjia, but suddenly thought of something. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Bei asked with interest, "What's the matter?" ”

"As the lord said, businessmen are profitable! Now the Mi family has turned to the lord with his family, and he has married his sister to the lord, and the picture is Liye. This person has great ambitions, comparable to Qin Zhi Lu Buwei! The lord needs to be careful. ”

Merchants are greedy! But what is greedy is small profits; Scholars are high? But it's violence that is greedy!

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit!

Liu Bei didn't know that Mi Zhu's scheme! But this person can run such a large family, which shows his ability, and Mi Zhu stepped forward when Liu Bei needed support the most, how could this not move Liu Bei, as long as Mi Zhu was still within Liu Bei's ability to control, let alone anything else, Liu Bei would also open one eye to this and close one eye.

The length of employing people will tolerate the short, and there is no one in the world who does not need it! Unite all the forces that can be united, this is Liu Bei's employment strategy at this time.
