Liu Rui walked into the study lightly, and saw Sun Ce kneeling on the ground at a glance, and couldn't help but kick him secretly when she walked next to him, no matter how hard she used her strength, she kicked Sun Ce, it was almost like tickling, Sun Ce really didn't snort, and he didn't even shake his body.

Naturally, her small actions couldn't hide from Liu Xin's eyes, Liu Xin already understood that Sun Ce was most likely not lying, so she couldn't help but sink her face and said, "Rui'er, do you know this person." ”

Liu Rui lowered her head, deliberately glanced at Sun Ce carefully, smiled "oh", and said, "It's you ......"

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, he could finally wash away his grievances, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and he was kicked by Liu Rui again.

saw Liu Rui shook his head, and said with a blank face: "I don't know." ”

Sun Ce was shocked, and said repeatedly: "Miss, take a closer look, I am the one you arrested just now." ”

Liu Rui pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Take a closer look, what's so good-looking, you have flowers on your face, you don't have to go through your brain to speak, I am a weak woman with no power to catch you as a big man, if that's the case, what's the use of asking you to be this personal guard, who can you protect." ”

Sun Ce was robbed by Liu Rui's cannonballs, and he was speechless there, but he heard Liu Xin shout in a deep voice: "Rui'er, you kneel down for me." ”

Liu Xin was really angry this time, he could be said to have tried his best on Sun Ce's question, and finally enveloped the Sun family, and even Sun Ce's ambition was consumed, but it was almost destroyed in Liu Rui's hands, just now Liu Xin was a little unconfident about whether Sun Ce really returned to his heart, and almost had the idea of killing him, thinking of this, Liu Xin also pinched a handful of sweat, and he didn't have a good face for Liu Rui.

Liu Rui knelt down very reluctantly, and muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing so loudly, isn't it just teasing a small soldier, what's the big deal, or he himself fell behind first, and people just help you straighten out the team." ”

Liu Xin's ear power is amazing, although her voice is small, it reaches Liu Xin's ears word by word, clearly, which verifies that what Sun Ce said is all the truth, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel on fire in her heart, "Huo" stood up, picked up the paperweight on the table casually, and raised her hand to smash Liu Rui,

But I heard a voice behind me say slowly: "Husband, what's worth making such a fuss about, and you want to beat someone." ”

When Liu Xin turned her head to look, it was Ma Yun who didn't know when she suddenly walked into the study from the back door, it turned out that Zhu Qian saw Liu Xin call Liu Rui over, and she was always a little uneasy in her heart, although she usually disciplines her daughter harshly, not as doting as Liu Xin, but after all, it is the meat that fell from her body, and her love for her daughter is buried in her heart, moreover, Liu Rui is not Liu Xin's biological child, Zhu Qian can't guarantee what Liu Xin will do to her, in a hurry, she went to ask Ma Yun, and Ma Yun came in a hurry.

Ma Yun snatched the paperweight from Liu Xin's hand, looked up, and felt angry and funny, he actually asked Liu Rui and a personal guard to kneel there side by side, what kind of system did this look become, and when she saw the appearance of the personal guard again, she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked sharply: "Sun Ce, when did you become a personal guard." ”

Liu Xin secretly screamed that it was not good, he couldn't hide this matter, so he had to deliberately say: "Rui'er, Sun Ce, you all get up first, by the way, I forgot to ask about this, Sun Ce, how did you become a personal guard." ”

Although Xu Chu was reckless on the surface, he was actually not stupid, he had already heard the meaning of Liu Xin's words, and it seemed that he had to carry this black pot, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the lord, Sun Ce was selected to enter the Flying Tiger Personal Guard after the end of the recruit training, and the whole process was handled in accordance with the regulations, and there was absolutely no special care. ”

Sun Ce is just a little short-tempered, his brain is actually very bright, how can he still not understand at this time, why Xu Chu and Liu Xin's tone was so strict with him at the beginning, naturally he was worried that he still had a different heart, not to mention that he would have died a long time ago by now, even if he still had that heart, seeing Liu Xinjiao's daughter standing next to him, he was also short of breath.

Thinking about these clearly, Sun Ce did not hesitate at all, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "Lord father, master mother, I, Sun Ce have done a lot of things to be sorry for you in the past, and now I have suddenly woken up, I solemnly swear here today, from now on, Sun Ce will only be the head of the lord and the horse, and throughout his life, he will be loyal. ”

Liu Xin actually believed that Sun Ce would never rebel again, but he was still not sure what Ma Yun's attitude was, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ma Yun,

But seeing that Ma Yun had already stepped forward, he helped Sun Ce up, and said: "Sun Ce, it doesn't matter if you can't swear an oath, but there is a sentence, you have to keep it in mind, people are doing it, and the sky is watching, if you want to be worthy of your conscience, you must think of the people of the world, Sun Ce, let you only be a personal guard, it is indeed a little wronged by you." ”

Liu Xin knew how much Ma Yun hated Han Dang's kidnapping of Liu Yu, but she didn't expect that she would be able to take the initiative to forgive Sun Ce, it was really unexpected, so she hurriedly glanced at Sun Ce and said, "Sun Ce, don't you thank Madame soon, with Madame's words, it looks like I have to move your position." ”

Seeing that Sun Ce was about to kneel down again, Ma Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sun Ce, you don't have to thank me, if you want to get ahead, you still rely on your own efforts to work hard for the revival of the Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Rui whispered behind him: "Kneel down at every turn, and there is no breath." ”

No matter how soft her voice is, it can't escape Liu Xin's ears, Liu Xin's attention has been on Sun Ce just now, and she didn't pay attention to her for a while, but she was reminded by her words, her face sank again, and said: "Rui'er, I didn't have time to teach you a lesson, you are still talking there, and you caused this incident today for no reason......"

Ma Yun was entrusted by Zhu Qian today to protect Liu Rui, and she had already interrupted him and said: "Okay, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for being too used to her, I'll just deal with the things inside, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Watching Ma Yun take Liu Rui to the back, Liu Xin could only shake his head helplessly, frustrated and Xu Chu all covered their mouths and snickered, Liu Xin glared at them fiercely, and said: "Sun Ce, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't go thousands of miles, I can rest assured of your ability, but you still have to go step by step, you can't think about one step to the sky, so let's do it, this year's recruit recruitment has just ended, you first become a captain and go to the recruit camp as an instructor for three months." ”

Sun Ce was secretly happy, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you to the lord, but there is still something unclear, this year's recruit recruitment, the last general did not see the news in the newspaper, why did it suddenly end." ”

Liu Xin was a little surprised, he had the impression that Sun Ce was brave and strong, but he acted relatively rashly, government affairs were not his forte, how could he care about the newspaper, if Sun Quan was replaced, then there would be no doubt, so he said: "Sun Ce, do you often read the newspaper." ”

Sun Ce said embarrassedly: "Back to the lord, except for the first issue, the last general has not finished reading every other issue, in fact, the last general is mainly to read the "Journey to the West", and the other content is just browsed by the way, and I have not read it carefully." ”

Liu Xin listened to Sun Ce's honesty, quietly glanced at him, and saw that he was also smiling, so he nodded and said: "Sun Ce, there is nothing for you to do here, you go to the recruit training camp to report to Wu Yi, work hard, and make other arrangements after three months, remember, as a soldier of the Han Dynasty, keeping secrets is the most basic duty." ”

Looking at the back of Sun Ce leaving in a hurry, Liu Xin smiled, there will be another fierce general under his command, as for the news of recruiting troops in the newspaper, it is a matter of course, because after more than a year, the people of Guanghan, Shu County and other places have fully recognized Liu Xin's rule, and there is no need for special propaganda at all, enough soldiers can be recruited, of course, these things do not need to be explained to Sun Ce,

The newspaper is actually a double-edged sword, because it is publicly issued, it can publicize the policy to the greatest extent and buy people's hearts, but if it is not handled well, it is easy to leak some secrets, know yourself and know the enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this is the key to the military family that Sun Tzu passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, and which of the princes of the Quartet does not know it, this kind of public newspaper, the information recorded on it must be much more than the intelligence collected by the secret agents they sent, and it will naturally be used by them as an important tool to understand Liu Xin's movements.

However, the princes don't know that this newspaper is originally a public opinion tool issued by Liu Xin, and the content on it must of course serve Liu Xin's needs, and it is inevitable that there will be fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, such as this year's recruitment, the newspaper did not see a little news, and some time ago, there were several consecutive issues with a full page to promote Liu Xin's benevolent government and the beginning of the great disarmament. Moreover, the five major legions under Liu Xin have always been frequently mobilized, and the princes don't know how much strength Liu Xin has.

In this way, through a few back and forth, Liu Xin has basically completed the deployment of troops, making final preparations for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the first legion, the second legion and the fifth legion of 180,000 people have quietly gathered in Guanghan, and can attack Hanzhong at any time, Zhao Yun's fourth legion is stationed in Nanyang, watching the movements of the Xiliang army in Wuguan at any time, Zhang He's third legion is stationed in Nanxiang, Yingchuan, Jiangxia three counties, and Yique Pass is the focus of the defense of the third legion, Zhang Ren has been appointed as the deputy commander of the third legion, led 20,000 people to be stationed there all the year round, and the county of Qike was completely handed over to the barbarian army of Feng Lie to defend, with the support of the local barbarian tribes, there should be no need to worry about the four counties of Nanzhong in the rear.

After the deployment of the army is completed, we will make arrangements for Xiangyang, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, we can hold high the banner and use troops against Dong Zhuo.

Liu Xin was sitting at the desk, thinking about how to stabilize the rear of Xiangyang, Cheng Yu hurriedly walked in, arched his hand and said, "Lord Qiqi, Liu Mao is dead." ”
