In the summer of the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, above Liu Biao's birthday banquet

Everyone happily observed Liu Biao's complexion

And at this moment, a voice sounded: "I have heard that Liu Jingzhou has three sons under his knees, why don't you see the second son Xiu here today?!" ”

The person who spoke was Zhang Song from Yizhou, and his young and strange face was full of 'curiosity';

As soon as Zhang Song's question came out, everyone in the hall looked at him, and even Fa Zheng, who came with him, secretly sweated for him

"Humph!" Liu Biao's face was full of joy, and he snorted red and white;

But everyone in Jingzhou knows what a scar Liu Xiu is to Liu Biao, and even Jiangdong, a perennial enemy, knows the reason

didn't expect that someone would ask Liu Xiu on such an occasion today, which was simply a slap on Liu Biao's face;

In fact, according to common sense, having a son Jackie Chan is a thing that makes his father proud, but this is an exception for Liu Biao: Liu Xiu's birth is regarded as a stain by Liu Biao, who has always been proud of his background; Then Liu Xiu's rise not only destroyed his ambition to dominate Jingxiang, but also let outsiders know how eye-catching he was; And Liu Xiu has not come back once after being away for many years, which has made the father-son relationship between the two enter a freezing point

Just when everyone was about to look at Liu Biao's joke, someone suddenly chuckled:

"Hehehehe"

The laughter is not like teasing, but more like easing the mood

This person is Zhuge Liang, who is shaking a feather fan and smiling slightly, only to hear him smile and say: "Brother Zhang doesn't know, although Jingzhou has been peaceful in recent years, it is inevitable that some thieves will come and go, and the second son may be delayed!" ”

Zhuge Liang randomly found a reason why no one would believe it, and prevaricated the past;

Zhang Song still didn't know why, as if he was a little aware of the adviser and said, "How can this be? I heard that Jingbei has been under the governance of Liu Jingzhou for many years, although it is not closed at night, but it is also peaceful everywhere, and there are no thieves and bandits, how could the second son miss the time because of these things? ! ”

As soon as Zhang Song's words came out, Mo said that the rest of the people in the hall, even Fa Zheng, who was traveling with him, regretted how he dragged Zhang Song to this Xiangyang, and it would be good to let him go directly to Changsha at that time! However, as soon as Fa Zheng remembered the "Xichuan Situation Map" in Zhang Song's hand, he immediately suppressed this idea again

However, the next moment, I heard Zhang Song admiring and saying: "Besides, I heard that under the command of the second son, the civil and military forces are prosperous, the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not ordinary people, how can those little thieves hold back the footsteps of the second son?!" ”

Zhang Song said, looked at the three people from Jiangdong again, and seemed to point out: "Presumably Wu Hou should have a deep understanding of this!" ”

Zhang Song sneered, but completely forgot how anxious he was when Liu Xiu attacked Nanzhong three years ago!

However, he did forget, because since he was disappointed in Liu Zhang and planned to find another master, he admired Liu Xiulai, and he felt that Liu Xiu's background was similar to his appearance, which made him feel like a confidant in a foreign place

However, this is also inevitable, because in the eyes of most young people, Liu Xiu is indeed a role model; In the eyes of those with shallow knowledge, Liu Xiu is a corner of peace; In the eyes of smart people, Liu Xiu is waiting, waiting for an opportunity, a fighter! At that time, he will use his powerful troops, amazing means, and terrifying layout to shake the south of the Han Dynasty with the power of thunder!

For Lu Su and others, who were suddenly involved, he said that he was so innocent! But listening to Zhang Song's seemingly aggressive and ignorant words, even Lu Su, an honest man who is 'known to the world', finally couldn't bear it anymore!

Lu Su, who originally came to watch the play and look for an opportunity, immediately turned cold at the next moment, and said lightly: "Brother Zhang is very knowledgeable, when Chu Hou attacked Yizhou Nanzhong, presumably Brother Zhang also had a deep understanding!" ”

"Oh?! No, it's supposed to be Dahan Nanju now! ”

"Indeed!" Zhang Song forgot to admire: "With the poor mountains and bad waters in Nanzhong back then, I didn't expect the second son to take it down in just a few months, which can be described as an extraordinary means, a contemporary hero!" ”

"However, I have no grudges and no enmity with the second son in Shuzhong, so I have never clashed, so I don't know the means of the second son, so I have to ask you in Jiangdong! After all, all of you present in Jiangdong have fought with the second son! ”

"Yes, yes" In the hall, whether it is Liu Cong's Cai faction, or the Huang family's Liu Bei's faction, or the Kuai brothers, the Pang family, the three elders of celebrities, Liu Biao and his descendants are civil and military, and after hearing the words, they all looked at the three people in Jiangdong in agreement

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Everyone knows that the second son is active in the barren land in the south, and for some reason he has never gone north to the Central Plains, Zijing might as well tell us about the ability of the second son, so that I can learn more about the second son?!" ”

To say that among the people present, Zhuge Liang may be the one who attaches the most importance to Liu Xiu, in his opinion, in addition to the Jiangdong Sun clan who has the ability and hope to compete with his own lord in Jingbei, there is only Liu Xiu, so he desperately hopes to get information about Liu Xiu from the Sun clan!

"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Lu Su smiled bitterly, being forced to introduce the strength of the enemy is probably the most depressing thing, and Zhou Tai and Lu Meng on the side also looked at everyone angrily

"Actually, my lord Sun Ce only fought with Chu Hou a few times back then, and he didn't know very well!"

"If it is according to those years, there are many extraordinary talents under the command of the Marquis of Chu, among which there is a handsome person named Wei Rui, who is very similar to my Zhou Dudu, who has been guarding Panyang in recent years, and is famous in Jiangdong!"

Although Lu Su compares like this, there are actually not many people who know Wei Rui's strength, after all, Wei Rui only made a few moves against the Sun clan back then, and then he was in a small fight in Panyang, while Zhou Yu has been guarding Xuzhou for the Sun clan all these years, and his prestige has long spread throughout the Central Plains; But even so, Wei Rui is in Jiangdong, and he is really a figure who can be compared with Zhou Yu

"Oh?! Wei Rui, but what about Wei Huaiwen? How powerful is he? "Everyone has never seen this person, and they really don't know that this Wei Rui can be compared to Zhou Yu;

I even vaguely heard someone whispering: "I thought that the Sun family had been busy in the north before, so I didn't have time to deal with the second son and Wei Rui!" Who knew that Wei Rui was so powerful?! ”

"Cough" Lu Su continued: "In addition, Yang Jing Yang Yanzhao, who guards Chaisang, is also extraordinary, guarding Chaisang like an iron bucket, everyone calls him 'Liulang', it seems that there are many brothers in the family, all of whom are also serving under the command of the Marquis of Chu, and the Yang family army he trained is the elite soldier of the elite soldiers!" ”

Lu Su said, looking directly at Yang Ye among the generals with strange eyes

Everyone seemed to hear the meaning, and they also looked at Yang Ye, and for a while, Yang Ye seemed to have become the focus of the palace

"In addition, there is still a Beifu army under the command of the Marquis of Chu, which is the strongest army in the world, although it is only 5,000 people, it can face and defeat ten times the enemy!"

"Shhhhh Everyone gasped: Wei Huo Zhiqiang was afraid that this was the case back then, right?!

After a while, Lu Sudong said everything from west to west, for some reason, he didn't talk about Liu Xiu's strength, but talked about his ability to govern: "The rest still have some strategists and fierce generals, and Jing doesn't know very well, but I know that in these years, Jiaozhou and other places under the rule of the Marquis of Chu seem to have developed very fast."

"Oh?! Why? Zhuge Liang was also very interested in Liu Xiu's governing skills, and couldn't help asking;

Lu Su glanced at Zhuge Liang strangely, and said: "It is said that there is a strange man under the command of the Marquis of Chu, named Zheng He, who knows the vastness of the vast overseas and knows the thaumaturgy. There are also many people in Jingnan, even Panyang, Chaisang and other places who have gone south! ”

"In addition, Chuhou has introduced a lot of food species from foreign countries, and the people in Jiaozhou are now less worried about food."

"Therefore, over the years, under the rule of the Marquis of Chu, it has become a rich land, and it is no longer a wilderness."

Everyone in the hall listened to Lu Su's introduction, and they only felt dizzy, how could there be a country in that boundless overseas? Don't worry about food?! How could something so good?!

But what if it's true? When they thought of this, everyone was itching in their hearts

However, more people felt that Lu Su was exaggerating, and only a few people such as Zhuge Liang showed thoughtful expressions

However, before everyone woke up from their surprise, they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from outside the door of the main hall: "Hahaha never thought that Jiangdong Lu Zijing actually knew so much about the situation under Benhou's rule!" ”

After the voice fell, I saw a servant hurriedly running in, and said in a panic: "Report! Old man, the second and second sons are back! ”
