Chapter 425: Appetite is not small
After listening to Yu Xuan's report, Liu Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhong Xiang, in just over three months, you can achieve such results, which makes Liu very pleased." After you go back, immediately organize people to copy a copy of the household registration books of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River and hand them over to the public government. ”
Yu was taken aback, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, so many household registration books, re-copying, the manpower required is secondary, but the cost of this paper is really expensive. The subordinates thought that they should also be strictly economical, and if the frustrated adults needed to check it, the subordinates could let the frustrated adults send all these books to Xiangyang, and then return to the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River after the frustration had finished reading them. ”
Liu Xin laughed unconsciously, paper is indeed valuable in the people, but these papers were originally produced by the government, and for Liu Xin, the cost is negligible, and it is not worth mentioning at all. He was about to explain to Yu Turn, when he heard the guard at the door hurriedly run in and said loudly: "Lord Qi, Mr. Mi Zhu asks to see!" ”
Mi Zhu is a decent gentleman, Liu Xin knows this very well, knowing that even if there is any confidential matter that he hears, he doesn't have to worry about him leaking it, so he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, please." ”
The guard turned around and walked out, and Liu Xin continued to say to Yu Translation: "You don't have to worry about the paper, Xiangyang will guarantee the supply." What you have to do is to make sure that the transcription is correct, especially if the head of the household surnamed Qiao is very careful. ”
Yu said strangely: "I rarely hear of the surname Qiao, why is the lord so concerned?" ”
Of course, Liu Xin wouldn't tell Yu Tuo that he was looking for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, two beauties who captivated the country and the city. It was precisely because this matter could only be carried out in secret, and could not be handed over to Yu to do, that Liu Xin had to take great pains to transfer all the household registration books of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River to Xiangyang, and the phantom secret spy who was frustrated would check it from house to house.
Faced with Yu Xuan's question, Liu Xin glanced at Frustrated Professor, snorted, and said: "There is naturally a reason for this, not only the surname Qiao, but also the surname Zhang should also be paid attention to, especially Zhang Zhao and Zhang, who must do everything possible to find their whereabouts." ”
Of course, Liu Xin would not really want to find these two people, although they were known as Jiangdong Erzhang in history, and they were Sun Ce's right-hand man in pacifying Dongwu, but Liu Xin now has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of such two people. The reason why Liu Xin emphasized them was just to hide people's eyes.
When he said this, Mi Zhu happened to come in from outside, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, Mi knows these two people, they are both famous people in Xuzhou, one is from Pengcheng and the other is from Guangling. Now ......"
Liu Xin really didn't know that the famous Jiangdong Erzhang turned out to be from Xuzhou, and now he was broken by Mi Zhu's words, but he couldn't cry or laugh, so that the purpose of checking his household registration lost two covers, so he had to interrupt him and said, "Zizhong, you are here." I don't know what's wrong with being in a hurry to see Liu? ”
Mi Zhu was about to continue to tell Liu Xin the whereabouts of these two people, but when he heard Liu Xin ask about his intentions first, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Lord Hui, Mi just got a piece of news that Cao Cao's father Cao Song's family was killed in Xuzhou, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will raise swords and soldiers, and the people of Xuzhou will suffer." ”
Liu Xin naturally got the secret report of the phantom about this matter, he thought that because of his arrival, history had shifted, and Cao Song's family might not repeat the mistakes of the past, but this incident still happened. However, Liu Xin didn't take this matter too seriously, after all, Cao Cao and Tao Qian are not dealing with him much now, and if Cao Cao wants to avenge his father, let them eat dogs.
At that time, the transmission of information was very slow, Liu Xin had a phantom spy who specialized in collecting intelligence, and it was not unusual to be able to get the news of Cao Song's murder in the shortest possible time, but a few days after this incident happened, Mi Zhu actually knew about it, which was a bit abnormal.
Liu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zizhong, how did you hear about it?" ”
Mi Zhu didn't hide it, and said honestly: "Back to my lord, Mi was very good friends with Liu Bei and Liu Xuande when he was in Xuzhou, and this news was sent to Mi Mou, and I want to ask Mi Mou to give the adult a reminder." ”
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "I actually knew about this matter for a long time, Liu Bei asked you to reveal the news to me, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives, it's not just a reminder." Zizhong, Liu Bei is different from you, he is extremely good at disguise, it is better for you to keep a distance from him in the future, otherwise, it is very likely that he will not know if he is sold, and you will have to help him count the money. ”
Mi Zhu didn't expect Liu Xin's impression of Liu Bei to be so bad, and hesitated: "No, when he sent the news, he also asked someone to bring a letter of letters, indicating the real estate and fields left by our Mi family in Xuzhou, saying that it was for the Mi family to take care of it, and it would be returned when Mi returned to Xuzhou." And Xuande Gong is also a member of the Han family......"
Liu Xin's face sank, and he frowned and said: "This Liu Bei is really bold, he actually refused to listen to Liu's warning, and continued to swagger and deceive as a member of the Han family!" Zizhong, you are too honest. Liu has a royal family tree here, which was rescued from Luoyang Palace a few years ago, you can take a closer look when you have time, Liu and Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others are all recorded in the book, but there is no him Liu Bei! ”
"Liu Bei really has such courage that even the Han clan relatives dare to pretend?" Mi Zhu couldn't believe his ears, but Liu Xin had a royal family tree as proof, but he couldn't help but believe it.
Mi Zhu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and was stunned for a long time before muttering: "It's just that the news he came is true, and I'm afraid that the people of Xuzhou ......."
Liu Xin didn't wait for him to finish, raised his hand, stopped him, and said, "Mr. Zizhong, let's tell you the truth, Liu has already guessed his intention to send this news to you." Everyone knows that Cao Cao will definitely raise troops to take revenge. The reason why Liu Bei asked you to pass this news to me was to let me take advantage of Cao Cao's troops to Xuzhou to raid Cao Cao's rear, which made Cao Cao difficult to take care of, this is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao! ”
Yu Xuan suddenly interjected: "Lord, this plan is not bad." It can not only relieve the siege of Xuzhou, but also avenge Cao Cao's sneak attack on Xiangyang, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”
Liu Xin suddenly laughed and said, "Two gentlemen, you are all people of faith, and Liu is also true to his word!" A few days ago, Liu had promised Xun Wenruo that as long as Cao Cao handed over the culprit who planned the sneak attack on Xiangyang within a month, Liu Xin would live peacefully with him for two years. Today, there are three days left in the one-month period. In these three days, if Cao Cao handed over the culprit, Liu would naturally have to keep his promise. If he refuses to hand over this person, hmph, even if he doesn't send troops to Xuzhou, Liu will have to meet him in battle! ”
If there is really a war in Xuzhou, it has nothing to do with Yu's overturn, and he pays more attention to letting his hometown and fellow villagers live a good life as soon as possible. And Mi Zhu is a sincere person, he likes to think about others in everything, after listening to Liu Xin's words, he felt very reasonable, and he really didn't want to ask him too much, so he had to give up.
Seeing Mi Zhu's sullen appearance, Liu Xin knew that he was worried about the people of Xuzhou, so he quickly stopped him again and said, "Zizhong, don't worry too much. Even if Cao Cao handed over that person within three days, Liu would repair a letter and warn Cao Cao not to kill innocents indiscriminately. ”
Mi Zhu couldn't help but be grateful, shook Liu Xin to the ground, and choked up: "If the people of Xuzhou can escape this catastrophe, it is thanks to the gift of the adults!" ”
"After all, they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, and it is incumbent on Liu to protect their safety." Although Liu Xin said this, he secretly sighed in his heart, he knew that Cao Cao had killed in Xuzhou in history, and many towns were killed by him, and he didn't know if he could persuade Cao Cao.
When Mi Zhu and Yu turned out one after another, he was frustrated and silent, and then he gave up his hand and said: "Qi Qi lord, my subordinates think that Liu Bei will never be so kind to remind the lord, there must be something strange in this matter." ”
Fu Zhu now admires Liu Xin more and more. In the past, Liu Xin has always emphasized the importance of Liu Bei, not only stationed Zhang Liao and 5,000 elites in Xuzhou for more than two years, but also arranged a phantom team to collect Liu Bei's intelligence. Originally, it seemed that Liu Bei was just a small county lieutenant, so how could he spend so much effort on him.
Indeed, Liu Bei has been in Xiaopei for more than two years, except for the improvement in the skills of weaving straw shoes, there is no particularly eye-catching performance. However, after Zhang Liao and Gao Shun escorted Mizhu's family to leave Xuzhou, Liu Bei suddenly showed his grandeur and gradually grasped a lot of real power in Xuzhou.
And that's not all. The information transmitted back by the phantoms that were lurking in Xiaopei and Xuzhou at all, a few days before and after Cao Song's murder, Liu Bei and Guan Yu seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Fu Zhu suspected that Cao Song's murder was inseparable from Liu Bei.
From these circumstances, Liu Xin was very prescient. How did he know that if Liu Xin's unexpected arrival hadn't come, there would have been Liu Bei's share in this world.
In fact, even Liu Xin didn't expect Liu Bei to develop so quickly, in less than a month, he was thriving in Xuzhou, and he really couldn't relax at all for Liu Bei. Liu Xin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what strange things he has, let's respond to all changes with the same, do our best, practice our internal skills, and let them toss for a few days first." ”
Fu Zhu is accustomed to some new words that Liu Xin pops up from time to time, and as long as Liu Xin does not make a special explanation, he will follow his own understanding. Liu Xin's "hard training of internal strength" is naturally about to carry out large-scale military training, but he does not know that Liu Xin is not only referring to the military aspect, including the economy, politics, science and technology, and even culture, and in the next two or three years, there will be a relatively big development.
Liu Xin paused and continued: "However, the situation in Xuzhou still needs to continue to pay attention. Liu Bei will not just reveal the news to us, if Liu's estimate is good, he should also send an envoy to Yuan Shao. Liu Bei's appetite is not small! ”
