readx;?“ Senior brother, you are not as calm as before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Xiu frowned, and criticized with a serious face, but there was a playful smile in his eyes: "How can I be surprised." ”

Lu Min didn't care about joking with him, and said with a little stammering: "No, you ...... What is the meaning? ”

"I said, I'm going to arrest Yuan Shao, and I'm going to be in charge of the war in Pingyu."

"You...... You can't be kidding me, right? Lu Min laughed.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Liu Xiu straightened up, looked at Lu Min intently, and deliberately widened his eyes. Lu Min was a little confused by him, and stammered a little: "Deran, don't make me happy......" He quickly calmed down, shook his head, and refused: "No, in a hurry, it is impossible for your subordinates to listen to me." I know you want to give up, but it's not right. ”

"No, I have no intention of giving up power." Liu Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Min's shoulder, looked into his eyes, and said very seriously: "Senior brother, you believe me, I did this because of my considerations. I'm not giving up power, I'll tell you the truth, I won't give up power until the world is calm and the interests of my Chu Wangfu will not be harmed. ”

"Then you ......" Lu Min was completely blindsided.

"I'm just decentralizing." Liu Xiu smiled, "I'm not a greedy person, such a big military power is in my hands, Your Majesty is worried about me, it's a natural thing, I don't worry about handing it over to others, only when I hand it over to you, I can rest assured." ”

Lu Min met Liu Xiu's gaze, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out for a long time: "Okay, I will never disappoint your hopes." ”

"Hmm." Liu Xiu nodded, and his gaze fell on the map again: "Yuan Shaoli made his mind faint, and the 80,000 army broke into Yanzhou, it was a good time for me to hit him hard." I will take 40,000 foot soldiers to meet the battle, and there are still 20,000 foot soldiers who will stay here to watch Pingyu. I asked Xu Rong to cooperate with you, and Yuan Kui did not leave the city. Then look at him, if Yuan Kui goes out of the city, then eat him. ”

"Deran, you wait." Lu Min interrupted Liu Xiu's words. stared at him puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about, you want to divide the troops?" This is a taboo for soldiers. In this way, we are at a disadvantage no matter what the battlefield. ”

"The number of troops may be a little less, but the disadvantages are not to be discussed." Liu Xiu stood up, holding the wine glass in one hand and shaking it gently, and calmly carrying it behind him with the other. "If it weren't for the fear of high merit and the shock of the master, and I wanted to use Pingyu as a bait to bring Yuan Shaoyu to Henan, I would have taken Pingyu City a long time ago."

Lu Min also stood up, faced Liu Xiu, and said suspiciously: "I know that your iron cavalry is powerful, but there are 40,000 people, including 20,000 forbidden troops." Even if they can take care of the overall situation, your troops are still insufficient. ”

"Who said I was forty thousand?" Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and smiled: "There is also Cao Cao's 50,000 army, in Hebei." There are also Huangfu Song's 10,000 steps to ride, and more importantly, my sailor has entered the big river, and Yuan Shao will soon find himself under siege. ”

Cao ...... Cao Cao? Lu Min looked at Liu Xiu, who was smiling proudly, and suddenly understood something: "That's ...... Your plan? ”

Liu Xiu looked up to the sky and laughed, and asked while laughing, "Not bad, right?" ”

Lu Min smiled bitterly, not only is it good, it is simply too much, not only Yuan Shao was fooled, but even Xiao Tianzi was fooled. Now the people who probably really know the inside story are Liu Xiu and Cao Cao themselves. But then again, if this strategy can't be fake, how can Yuan Shao be fooled. lured Yuan Shao's main force to Yanzhou, forcing him to fight with Liu Xiu, and it was at the location chosen by Liu Xiu and Cao Cao. This is definitely much easier than conquering one city after arriving in Jizhou.

"You ...... It's too much, it's too much. Lu Min really couldn't find the words that could describe Liu Xiu, so he had to laugh and shake his head, he thought about it for a while, and then asked, "How can you be sure that Yuan Shao will definitely believe that Cao Cao really fell out with you?" ”

"This ...... Can't say. Liu Xiu's face was bitter: "If you say it, you will kill your head, forgive me for not telling you." ”

Lu Min became more and more curious, and deliberately lowered his face: "You don't believe me? ”

"It's not that I don't believe in my brother, it's really ...... This excuse is too outrageous, and it is suspected of bullying the king, and I am afraid that you can't afford it, so it's better not to say it. Liu Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed on Lu Min's shoulder, and said apologetically: "This matter ...... Can't really say. The reason why Cao Cao and I can trust each other is because no matter who it is, as long as we say this, we are both rebellious, and neither of us can escape. ”

"So serious?"

"It's that serious."

Seeing that Liu Xiu refused to speak, Lu Min did not ask any more questions, and then discussed the war with Liu Xiu. While they were talking, Xu Rong rushed over, and as soon as he saw Lu Min, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute. Seeing Xu Rong's expression, Lu Min knew that this was probably arranged by Liu Xiu a long time ago, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Xiao Tianzi was worried for many days, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiu had been waiting for him to bring it up, no wonder the rumors were spread so fiercely these days, but several generals under Liu Xiu did not express any opinions.

"It's an honor for me to fight side by side with General Xu." Lu Min said modestly.

Xu Rong rubbed his big hands honestly and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile. He knew better than Lu Min the significance of Liu Xiu's actions. Last time in Chaisang, because of Yuan Shu's surrender, the Jiangnan War ended quickly and unexpectedly, although he led Huang Zhong and others all the way forward, but the real convincing military exploits were limited. This time, Liu Xiu took the opportunity to play with the Son of Heaven and handed over the military power of more than 20,000 people into his hands, it can be said that this is his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service, and it is also a great opportunity for the rise of the Youzhou system.

Coming out of Liu Xiu's big tent, Lu Min didn't hesitate, turned around and went to the imperial tent of Xiao Tianzi again. Xiao Tianzi heard that he was called by Liu Xiu, and was anxiously waiting for his news, as soon as Lu Min arrived at the door, he greeted him and beckoned again and again: "Lu Qing, come quickly, come quickly." At this moment, his eyes were full of anticipation, mixed with a hint of nervousness, like a child looking forward to a playmate, where there is a little majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Lu Min smiled helplessly, straightened his face again, and greeted him according to etiquette, and then raised his head. Xiao Tianzi sniffed, and raised his thin sword eyebrows: "Have you drunk the hussar general's wine?" ”

Lu Min nodded, "Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." ”

Xiao Tianzi pursed his lips, but didn't say anything. He blinked: "What else did he say to you?" ”

Lu Min let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty." He gave me command of the peace. ”

"What?" Xiao Tianzi was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he doubted his ears, he held the desk and leaned forward: "You say it again." ”

"Your Majesty. The hussar general gave me command of the peace war. Lu Min slowly said it again, and then explained Liu Xiu's arrangements in detail just now, and finally said: "The hussar general said that he failed to fulfill his promise to conquer Pingyu in a month, so he wanted to reduce his military power, and personally led the army to meet Yuan Shao to atone for his crimes." ”

Xiao Tianzi's face twitched. Suddenly ecstasy, suddenly guilt, and finally only a trace of doubt and relief remained. He laughed twice and stood up. He is not stupid, of course he knows that this is not Liu Xiu's self-reduction of military power at all, the army is handed over to Lu Min and Xu Rong, the real command must be in Xu Rong's hands, once Lu Min has any changes. Xu Rong will put him in the air. However, no matter how sincere Liu Xiu can be in doing this, at least nominally, he is indeed giving up half of his military power. Fulfilled his promise.

What he meant was probably to make tentative concessions in exchange for mutual trust between the two sides, right? Xiao Tianzi secretly guessed. Well, at least he still has the emperor in his eyes. Xiao Tianzi laughed silently, and then coughed again, making himself look very urban, and took out the majesty of the Son of Heaven and said, "Lu Qing, what do you think of this matter, Hussar General...... What was he thinking? ”

Lu Min raised his head and looked at Xiao Tianzi's face, and the unconcealable snickering joy in Xiao Tianzi's eyes was clearly seen by him. Lu Min couldn't help but laugh secretly. No matter how smart the heart is, a child is a child after all, although he is in a special environment and is precocious than ordinary children, but he is still a child after all. Liu Xiu was right, he was a good boy, but he was dragged down by this throne. Indulged in the imperial power all day long, but forgot the real avenue. At the end of the day, there is no right person to teach. Although Lu Zhi is profoundly knowledgeable, he is really not very good at teaching.

Lu Min didn't say anything about Liu Xiu's criticism of his father, but he knew that Liu Xiu was not bad at all. Although his father Lu Zhi was good at learning, he was not good at teaching students, and he knew this best. Xiao Tianzi and he studied the scriptures for several years, but apart from knowing some scriptures and exegesis, he did not learn any real way to govern the country. Now, this task falls on his shoulders, and he wants to teach the Son of Heaven to be what Liu Xiu wants, so that it is possible to ensure that Liu Xiu and the Son of Heaven will not go that far.

It's a really heavy task.

"Your Majesty must also understand that the failure to conquer Pingyu this time is not actually the responsibility of the hussar general, this is just a plan by him to lure Yuan Shao away from Jizhou."

Xiao Tianzi's eyes rolled twice, and he snorted noncommittally. This depends on how you say it, you can say that it is because Cao Cao did not listen to the order to withdraw the army, or you can say that Liu Xiu himself mishandled it, as for whether it is a plan, it is even more unclear, Liu Xiu is now leading his troops to meet Yuan Shao, which can be said to be a plan, or it can be said that he was forced to be helpless.

"However, the hussar general reduced his military power and accepted the punishment, and he kept his word." Lu Min said unhurriedly, his eyes staring at Xiao Tianzi's eyes tightly: "Your Majesty, people can't stand without faith, the hussar general has done it, he is a man who keeps his promises." ”

Xiao Tianzi's eyes flickered, his steps suddenly stagnated, and after a while, he slowly turned around: "Lu Qing, I understand what you mean, and I will keep my promise." ”

Lu Min replied, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Xiao Tianzi thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I need to transfer more money and grain from Yizhou and Jingzhou now, what should I do?" ”

Lu Min bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there was such a clause in the original signing, when the country has wars, disasters and other major events, and has to temporarily increase taxes, the three princes and nine secretaries and the governors of the prefecture and county can increase the taxes as appropriate after reaching a consensus. The state or county may not refuse without a valid reason. ”

Xiao Tianzi grinned, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure: "Since this is the case, then ask Lu Qing to pass on the three princes and nine qing, and ask them to discuss with Yizhou and Jingzhou to increase grain and grass to Kanto." ”

"Yui."
