Lu Ren's words made Liu Qi shocked, and then he began to think carefully about what Lu Ren said.

In fact, people like Liu Qi are typical people, and they are not stupid, but they are just a little too honest in terms of personality. But the rabbit is still biting when he is in a hurry, and Liu Qi's persecution situation is getting worse and worse, so where will Liu Qi care about what tricks are not bad? The first priority is, of course, to save your own life.

However, although Lu Ren's trick came out, Liu Qi still had some concerns after thinking about it carefully: "Lu Servant, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you also know my ......."

Lu Ren interrupted Liu Qi's words: "Are you worried that the Sun clan will attack Jiangxia, and you won't be able to resist it?" ”

Liu Qi nodded vigorously.

Lu Ren smiled, Liu Qi is very cute, he is very self-aware, and talking to someone like him is also very worry-free. So Lu Ren brought out the prepared rhetoric: "The eldest prince is at ease." In fact, if you want me to say, although you are leading troops to Jiangxia this time, it is very likely that you will not have to fight a single battle. ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Ren explained in detail to the stunned Liu Qi: "First, this time Sun Quan's troops sent Jiangxia, Jiangxia Huangzu will certainly be invincible, but I dare to say that Sun Quan has to retreat to Jiangdong halfway through the battle, because the Shanyue tribes in the southeast of Jiangdong are not really subdued by Sun Quan, but are just subduing. As soon as they heard that Jiangdong's elite men and horses were dispatched, these Shanyue tribes would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and Sun Quan's backyard was on fire, and he had to retreat immediately...... Don't stare at me like that, I have some business dealings with some Shanyue tribes, so I'm more well-informed. ”

Liu Qi let out an "oh", and his heart was half relieved. To tell the truth, if someone like him goes to war, he is not at ease with others or himself.

Lu Ren continued to explain: "There are many Shanyue tribes, and each of them refuses according to dangers, and it is difficult to calm down once there is chaos. I did the math. With Sun Quan's current situation, once the Shanyue tribe is in turmoil, Sun Quan will not be able to deal with it for about three years, and he is basically unable to go out for three years. In other words, if you seize this opportunity to take charge of Jiangxia, no matter how you say it, you will have three years of stability. And in the past three years, you have trained soldiers and horses diligently, cultivated more war equipment, and did not seek to be able to attack externally, but only to make Jiangxia as stable as possible, can't you do it? Not really. Can't you borrow a strong general from Uncle Liu? ”

Liu Qi nodded again and again.

Lu Ren then flickered: "Cai Mao wants to harm you, it is nothing more than to let Liu Cong take over Jingzhou, but if you stay in Xiangyang, you will not only be unable to compete with him, but you will also lose your own life if you don't make trouble." Rather than this, it is better to go outside to hide, and at the same time cultivate more strength for yourself as much as possible, so that you can still have the strength to fight, and you can also support the army to protect yourself. This life is saved, this book is kept, and you can do what you will do in the future, right? ”

Liu Qi was still nodding. Because Lu Ren's words all went to his heart.

At this time, Lu Ren sighed: "In the end, it is the last move of this plan...... You must remember that after you take charge of Jiangxia, you must prepare early and not relax, if nothing else, Jiangxia's army will be successful in a few years. If anything happens to Ling Zun, the Cai family will definitely set up Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou. At that time, you and Uncle Liu Huang echoed in two places, and the soldiers divided into two ways to take Xiangyang, and the great thing could be accomplished...... But after all, this is the urgent need between you and Brother Liu Cong, so it's too shady. It also involves your family affairs, whether you use it or not. ”

Liu Qi said fiercely: "Since the Cai family doesn't think of me, what concerns do I have?" ”

Lu Ren said: "It seems that you are planning to do according to the plan." That's fine. I will finally advise you again, if this plan is successful, you will take Jingzhou with Uncle Liu Huang, but you must not be greedy for the lord of Jingzhou! If you can, let Uncle Liu Huang try your best. If Uncle Liu Huang insists on you becoming the pastor of Jingzhou, you should also hand over all the power of Jingzhou to him, and don't ask ...... My words, can you understand? ”

Liu Qi's face was straight, and he continued: "Of course I understand!" Although he is not talented, he has always been quite self-aware. In the next one, there is no one around me to help, and I can't govern Jingzhou; The second is that according to my temperament, I am not suitable for governing states and counties. ”

"The most important thing is that I don't know if you forcibly robbed this Jingzhou Mu, Liu Bei will secretly take your life!"

Of course, Lu Ren didn't dare to say this, so he could only whisper in his heart, and said tactfully: "I just hope that you can live peacefully and freely." Now in troubled times, you are definitely not a person who can defend Jingzhou, a battleground for soldiers in troubled times. Instead of that, you should throw these worries to those who can do it, those who want to do it. Anyway, I think you are more suitable to inherit Lingzun's Wencai, so after settling down, you can read poetry and books diligently, open a museum to teach after you have completed your studies, and recruit disciples, so you can be famous and famous, so why not? ”

Liu Qi nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, but Lu Ren secretly screamed in his heart that he was so tired! After all, the amount of thought and tongue spent in this process is also too great. This is fortunate that Liu Qi, this kid, doesn't have any city government, otherwise Lu Ren would still be tired.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Liu Qi got up to say goodbye, and Lu Ren hurriedly called him and said, "Remember, before the rumors in the market have arisen or Ling Zun has not discussed with everyone, this matter must not be mentioned, otherwise it will definitely cause suspicion!" Also, as soon as you go back, write a letter to Uncle Liu Huang, in which you will clearly write down my plan, and then send someone from your confidant to me.

"Some time ago, Uncle Liu Huang ordered a batch of military supplies from me, which is now complete, and will be sent to Xinye on the same day, and I will send a confidant here to take this opportunity to present the letter to Uncle Huang, and ask Uncle Huang to help you prepare in secret. In case Ling Zun refuses to transfer you or the imperial uncle to Xiakou, the war can also let the imperial uncle go to Jiangxia in the name of galloping aid. All in all, you must go to Jiangxia with Uncle Huang no matter what, this is your only way to survive at the moment! ”

Liu Qi nodded vigorously. As soon as he turned around and went out, Lu Ren remembered something again, stopped Liu Qi, and pointed to the sticker on the table: "Eldest son, take these with you when you go back." ”

Liu Qi asked, "What is this?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Some of the stickers I collected were originally intended to be given to Wen Ji, but now I will lend them to you for use to round my lies." You must not let Cai Mao know that I am secretly giving you ideas, otherwise you and I will die an ugly death. Make a tangser with these things, and I think you should know what I mean. Alas, I finally collected these, but I gave them away like this, and if Wen Ji knew about the trick, she would have to blame me. ”

Liu Qi was speechless, and shook his head for a while and said: "It's just a few volumes of ancient stickers, so I don't need to let Mrs. Zun cut her love, because when I went out, I brought a few volumes of private labels that my father didn't know about on my body...... Originally, I was going to make a birthday gift for my father later, but if my father asked about today's events, I would give it to my father directly, and I would say that I asked you to buy it on your behalf. Lu Servant is not such a stupid person. ”

This time, Lu Ren was speechless, and said in his heart that it seems that Liu Qi, this kid, is also very clever. Looking at the sticker on the table that had not been moved, Lu Renxin said, "That's fine...... How much can Cai Yan not be so boring when she raises a baby...... Alas, this is a mess, I'm about to become a father? Well, ask Zhang Fang to arrange it again, I have to rush back to Chaisang as soon as it gets dark today. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

A few days later, near Xinye City in the north of Jingzhou, there was a caravan of about 50 oxen, horses and vehicles slowly marching towards Xinye.

The weather was already a little hot, and Zhang Fang rode at the front of the convoy, constantly stretching his sleeves to wipe his sweat. After walking for a while, he finally came to the gate of Xinye City, Zhang Fang took a closer look at the city wall with his hand shade, and saw that the wall of Xinye City was much stronger than when he came last time, and the people who came and went at the city gate were endless, and he saw that the past was quite vibrant, and he nodded secretly in his heart.

Zhang Fang asked the convoy to stop not far from the city gate, and dismounted himself and walked towards the city gate. The guards guarding the door did not dare to slack off when they saw such a battle, and the doorman also led a few soldiers to greet him and saluted, and then asked, "What do you call it?" What's the point of coming to Shinno Castle with so many vehicles? ”

Zhang Fang stretched out his hand to stop him and stepped forward and said: "In the next Zhang Fang, in response to the deed of Uncle Liu Huang, I will send the military grain and rice ordered that day." This is the order of Mi Zhu, who is in charge of this matter under Uncle Liu Huang (Mi Zhu has been appointed by Liu Bei as General Zuo Zhonglang at this time). ”

After taking Ling Wen and taking a closer look, Menbo said, "It turned out to be a caravan shot by Lu Servant!" The first day Mi engaged in the past has already explained to us, saying that there will be a caravan to deliver goods here in the near future, so that we can say hello. Please wait a moment for Mr. Zhang to inspect the vehicles and belongings before entering the city. Where the responsibility lies, don't blame. ”

Zhang Fang said: "It's okay. In addition, please send someone to spread the word to Uncle Liu Huang, saying that Zhang Fang has something important to ask to see. ”

Menbo immediately sent someone to the city to report it, and he brought a few more men and chariots to inspect the past. Not to mention the courtesy between his words and how careful he was when inspecting the goods of the vehicles, Zhang Fang was a different scene in front of the Shinno Castle Gate, that is, the gatekeepers who stayed there did not collect the gate tax from any of the small traders who entered and exited the city gate. Zhang Fang was born in the 700 camp, and he was very clear about those things in the army, and suddenly said in his heart: "Liu Bei can really do it!" The city gate tax was exempted, you must know that this was one of the sources of government tax at that time......"

After watching it for a while, the doorman came back and said, "Mr. Zhang has been waiting for a long time, the vehicles and goods have been inspected properly, please enter the city." ”

Zhang Fang nodded, took out a bag of money from his arms and handed it to Menbo and said, "I'm tired, this is a few of me to invite a few people to have a glass of wine." In the future, it is indispensable to come and go often, and please take care of it. ”

Menbo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no! Mr.'s kind intentions are understood by the villains, but the lord has an explicit order, and those who take a thing from the people without permission will be killed, and the villains dare not disobey the order. ”

Zhang Fang's heart praised again: "Yes, yes, Liu Bei's ability to govern the army is still very strong, and he is much stronger than Liu Biao in this point alone." I think that when my dozens of truckloads of goods leave Xiangyang City, I will have to pay a lot of taxes at the city gate, and I will have to send those city gate guards at the end...... No wonder the main guild asked me to come here to Xinye to have a look! In this case, you have to take a good look. (To be continued.) )
