"Liu knows that Mr. Mi will intercede for you, Mr. Mi's face Liu will definitely give it, I can not punish you this time, but the lesson must be kept in mind!" Liu Xin looked around at the generals around him, paused and said, "Gao Shun is wrong to be a personal martial artist, and he doesn't use a sharp bow and crossbow, but rashly fights Guan Yu alone." Zhang Liao should not disperse his forces, let alone fight with the Xuzhou infantry army. ”

Liu Xin's words were not just for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but to remind all the generals. Seeing the frequent nodding of the generals, he continued: "The battlefield is cruel, either you die or I die, you should do everything possible to protect yourself, kill and injure the enemy, in order to achieve the goal, even if you are treacherous, it is not too much. Although Guan Yu's martial arts are strong, can he dodge the dark guns and cold arrows? Can you prevent stumbling and trapping? If it doesn't work, sprinkle some lime powder to fascinate his eyes! ”

Hearing that Liu Xin even recommended such a trick, all the generals were stunned, and the foreheads of Zhao Yun and the others were full of black lines.

"Don't think about it that much. There are people in this world who are strong in martial arts, such as Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan under Cao Cao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao, Ji Ling under Yuan Shu, and Tai Shici under Liu Miao should not be underestimated. In Liu's opinion, no matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it can catch the mouse, it is a good cat! Again, no matter what method is used, as long as you can defeat these people, it is a good way! Liu Xin turned a blind eye to the expressions on their faces and continued, "When marching and fighting, we must pay attention to the cooperation between all branches of the armed forces, and we must form a whole in order to give full play to the most powerful combat effectiveness. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's hurry into the city and give Mr. Mi's family a pick-up. ”

Mi Zhu accompanied as many as 7,000 slaves, so it was naturally impossible for all of them to be arranged into Xiangyang City. As early as when he learned that Mi Zhu wanted to move his family to Jingzhou, Liu Xin ordered someone to temporarily build a manor in Fancheng across the Han River for them to live in, and Mi Zhu's wives and concubines and children could live in a large mansion in Dongcheng District.

At this time, the house left by the Mi family in Xuzhou had also been cleaned up, and Liu Bei stood in the hall with Guan Yu and Jian Yong, full of pride. Now, Tao Qian has given Liu Bei the property left by the Mi family in Xuzhou, in addition to this mansion, there are other houses and fields. Because Mi Zhu left in a hurry, he only took away the gold and silver, and many heavy and heavy things were left, so he could move in after simply packing up. Even so, Jian Yong was still busy for two whole days.

Seeing that Liu Bei was very satisfied with his "fruits of labor", Jian Yong also proudly stroked his beard under his chin, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord, my subordinates have just checked the accounts, and the Mi family is really rich, and there are as many as 10,000 hectares of fertile land. With these fields, in just two years, the lord will no longer have to worry about money and food. Looking at these houses, which one is not magnificent? The lord, please go to the inner house to have a look. ”

Listening to Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei suddenly became vigilant, he looked at the spacious and bright hall, touched a few cases carved with exquisite ornaments, shook his head, and said: "There is no need to go to the inner house, it can be seen from this hall." As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury, and we don't have the capital to be arrogant and luxurious! Xianhe, you let people clean up a courtyard, the furnishings should be simpler, and my second brother and I will live there in the future, and the inner house will be empty first. ”

Guan Yu was inexplicably moved, and hurriedly said, "Big brother is wise!" ”

Jian Yong said with some embarrassment: "Back to the lord, the lady has moved to the back house, do you want to ......?"

Liu Bei married several wives and concubines when he was young, but it is said that his life was too hard, and several wives and concubines were killed by him, leaving only Mrs. Gan. Mrs. Gan's name is Gan Mei, she was originally a concubine of Liu Bei, and her status was low, but because she was now the only woman by Liu Bei's side, Jian Yong had great respect for her and had always been commensurate with her. Moreover, Jian Yong also hoped that she could give birth to a son and a half daughter for Liu Bei as soon as possible, so that Liu Bei would have a successor, so she cleaned up the back house as early as possible and let Mrs. Gan move in, so as to create a gentle township for Liu Bei.

However, after Mrs. Gan was picked up to Xiaopei, Liu Bei didn't have sex with her for a day, where could she give birth to a child? Liu Bei is not a bad woman, but he has great ambitions, especially after getting the heirloom jade seal, he gradually developed the ambition to compete for the world. The only people he can encircle under his command are Guan Yu and Jian Yong, and Guan Yu's martial arts are the capital he is most proud of in the world. In order to let Guan Yu serve him with all his heart, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were at the same table and bed.

Now that he has moved into the big mansion of the Mi family, Liu Bei has also thought about it and wants to have a good time. But he soon woke up to how difficult it would be to achieve this goal with his present position and strength, so he always warned himself to be cautious in everything he did, and not to get carried away.

However, Gan Mei is also a famous beauty, and she has followed Liu Bei for many years, Liu Bei didn't want to treat her too badly, so he waved his hand and said, "Since Madame has moved in, let her live in the inner house first." ”

The Mi family occupies a huge area, and even Tao Qian's state residence is less than half of here, so it is naturally effortless to find a clean courtyard, and it must be done in a moment. And Jian Yong is now like Liu Bei's big housekeeper, after finishing the affairs of the house, he hurried to the outside of the city, and accepted the Mi family and Tian property one by one according to the book provided by Tao Qian.

Liu Bei watched Guan Yu sit down opposite him, took out a thing from his arms, put it on several cases, and said with a solemn face: "Second brother, this is for my brother to let people get it back from the battlefield, Cao Bao's light cavalry is a big loss for eating this thing." ”

Guan Yu picked up the little thing full of spikes and swarthy and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Big brother, Liu Xin is really rich, such a small thing is actually made with a good iron." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "It's not unreasonable for the Jingzhou army to be invincible, I heard that they are equipped with a lot of surprising equipment, so after this battle, I specially sent people to search for the battlefield, and sure enough, I found this small thorn ball." Although this thorn ball is small, it can easily pierce the horse's hooves, and it is indeed a sharp weapon against cavalry. ”

Guan Yu fiddled with the zama nail in his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "Big brother, although we are not as rich as Liu Xin, it is not difficult to create some such gadgets, and we will not have to worry about the enemy's cavalry in the future." ”

This time in pursuit of Mi Zhu, Guan Yu almost single-handedly caused Zhang Liao's cavalry to suffer heavy losses, but the powerful assault power of that cavalry still made him feel uneasy, and now that he saw this horse nail, he couldn't help but feel that using the equipment developed by Liu Xin to deal with Liu Xin was simply the most brilliant idea in the world.

Liu Bei clapped his hands and smiled: "The second brother is reasonable, Liu Xin probably never dreamed that this little toy he worked so hard to make would be used by me." ”

In fact, now it is not only Liu Bei and Guan Yu who are being complacent, Cao Cao is also standing on the platform of the generals in the school field, looking at the few generals who are riding horses and galloping below, with a gratifying smile on his face, he turned his head and said: "Yuan Rang, how do you feel about hanging these two feet under the saddle?" ”

Xiahou arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, with these two feet, it is easier to manipulate the war horse, even if you have not practiced riding and archery, as long as you have a little training, even if you wield a knife and gun, there is no problem in rushing back and forth." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "No wonder Liu Xin's cavalry can compete with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the lord has these two feet, and he can also train an elite cavalry to come out, why worry about Yuan Shao's immortality!" ”

Xia Hou frowned and said: "It's just one thing, you can't gallop long distances with this kind of pedaling, otherwise the rope connecting the saddle and the pedal will be easy to break, and it will wear the horse's belly, so the practice of riding can't be relaxed." ”

It turned out that they were using a stirrup that was "pirated" from Liu Xin, and the semicircular part was similar to the stirrup, except that it was simply tied to the saddle with thin hemp rope in the connection. In this way, not only do they have the two problems that Xia Hou said, but also the stirrups will shake back and forth, and the effect is naturally far less than the stirrups used in Liu Xinjun's army, and there are still great requirements for riding.

Cao Cao didn't care about these details, he said with emotion: "It's already good to be able to do this." It seems that Liu Xin's subordinates have really recruited a lot of strange people, and even such things can be imagined, Cao's fierce rival in this life is not in Hebei, but in Jingzhou. If Wen Ruo can move Liu Xin this time, we will have two years to deal with Yuan Shao calmly, which can be said to be the first achievement. ”

While he was talking, a soldier came to report, saying that Xun had returned from Xiangyang. Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask Wen Ruo to come here." ”

In fact, the task given to Xun by Cao Cao was not fully completed, because Liu Xin still resolutely refused to recognize Liu Xie's status as emperor, but it was acceptable to get his promise not to use force with Cao Cao within two years.

However, Xun still had a worried face, and when he saw Cao Cao, he arched his hand and said: "Lord, if your subordinates have a word, they don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Cao Cao took his hand and said, "Wen Ruo, this time you will make an envoy to Xiangyang, you must have gained a lot, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Xun Zhengse said: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that the lord's worry is not Yuan Shao, but Liu Xin!" ”

"There is no need for Wen Ruo to say this matter, Cao also knows that Liu Xin is the real henchman, so he wants to solve Yuan Shao as soon as possible, so as to free up his hands to deal with Liu Xin." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liu Xin proposed to ask Cao to hand over the culprit of the sneak attack on Xiangyang, according to Wen Ruo, who should be handed over to him?" ”

Xun shook his head and said, "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that it doesn't matter who they hand over to Liu Xin, what matters is whether there is a need to hand over such a person to Liu Xin!" ”

Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Wen Ruo, didn't you already agree to Liu Xin about this matter, why do you say this now?" ”
