Months have passed in the blink of an eye, and another year has been covered with heavy snow

By June, after Liu Xiu captured Nanchang and cleared Sun Ce's troops and horses in the territory, he did not raise troops to fight again;

It's just because he knows his current situation very well: less than three months after capturing the four counties of Jingnan, he raised troops in Yuzhang again, although he has now taken most of the cities in Yuzhang County, but whether it is grain and grass, or soldiers and generals rely on almost all accumulated in the past few years; As for this Jingnan and other places, at present, in addition to the source of new soldiers, the others are almost unreliable, and even a lot of time, grain, grass, and property are invested to develop and stabilize this Jingnan, so that in two years, it may be able to steadily support his army of 100,000!

And Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling and others also suggested to him: "The foundation of the lord is still shallow, the lieutenant generals of the army do not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the battle, the government and the people are not even, and all kinds of waste have not been developed; And the southeast, northwest, four directions, the time for the north has not come, the west and south may be a burden, only the east is now also occupied by Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, if you want to move troops against it, you need to have a full foundation of your own! ”

At the end of the discussion, Liu Xiu only summed up ten words: 'Suspend the army, raise the people, govern the government, and wait for the opportunity!' ’

Although I was a little depressed in my heart, I thought about Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the future, which one didn't lay a huge foundation after countless years of travel!

As a result, Liu Xiu has been staying in Panyang for almost all the months, governing politics and training with his subordinates!

As for the hundreds of people such as Sun Ce who were chased into the mountains and forests a few months ago, Liu Xiu naturally sent a large number of soldiers to chase and intercept them, and even sent all the generals and fierce generals around him; And it was precisely because of this that Liu Xiu suffered that fatal crisis for the first time

In those days, Liu Xiu sent Zhang Hao to search for Sun Ce and others, although there were still many guards around him, and they were selected by the elite of the army; But even so, they were still no match for the specially trained assassins and killers, especially not on that battlefield;

That night, more than a dozen assassin killers infiltrated Liu Xiu's mansion, evaded layers of guards, and quietly came to the door of Liu Xiu's house, only to be accidentally bumped into by the servants; After that, thanks to Liu Xiu's hard practice of martial arts in recent years, his body reacted quickly, so he held out under those assassins until the guards arrived, but he was also seriously injured because of this!

After this incident, Liu Xiu was very angry in his heart, he never expected that someone would assassinate him at this time, so he directly ordered Zhang Hao to be transferred back from the search and arrest to protect himself, and then transferred the elite of the 3,000 army to his command as personal guards, and then ordered people to step up the creation of armor and weapons, preparing to personally train these 3,000 people;

As for how to train, it was thanks to those summoning opportunities from the county that brought him a lot of special items, including training books such as the Shence Army Training Method and the Jinyi Guard Training Method; What Liu Xiu wants to try is to personally train three thousand brocade guards, although it may not reach the strength of the Beifu soldiers, but it is still no problem to come step by step;

The Jinyi Guard is not like a strong army that can play a vital role on the battlefield, but it is not as unprofessional as the non-commissioned guards; He is a personal guard who can play a certain role on the battlefield after being in charge of the guard!

After training like this for three months, at least from the perspective of military appearance, Liu Xiu himself felt that the effect was quite good

For a few months, Liu Xiu quietly retired from the army in Jingnan and other places, but the Central Plains, the north and other places were still in flames

Since the little emperor Liu Xie had 20,000 troops in Luoyang with the help of Liu Xiu, it can be described as infinitely beautiful; However, when Cao Cao came to support Cao with an army of 200,000, he still did not dare to make the slightest move, not to mention that there were not a few ministers in the court and central government who supported Cao Cao at this time;

As a result, the little emperor Liu Xie was still abducted by Cao Cao to Xuchang, changed to Jian'an, and successfully 'coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to obey'; however, unlike in the previous life, the little emperor Liu Xie at this time was always with an army of 20,000 without leaving, and then entered Xuchang, making Cao Cao like a fish in the throat, wanting to get rid of it quickly, but there was no chance!

However, these have nothing to do with Liu Xiu, who had the idea of succeeding or failing to plan for the little emperor that day, and now it is a great achievement to be able to plant a thorn in Cao Cao's land

As for Liu Xiu's ability to understand the affairs of Xuchang so clearly, it was naturally in the past few months that he sent someone to the little emperor to ask for an order and make a plan, so that he could have such information.

The so-called request is that Liu Xiu saw that the north-south span of Yuzhang was too large, and there were twenty-one counties, so as soon as his mind turned, he asked people to go to the little emperor Liu Xie's request, wanting to divide Yuzhang into Luling County and Panyang County according to the division of counties in Eastern Wu in later generations; Its obvious purpose is naturally to facilitate governance, and secretly it is naturally for the summoning quota that occupies the county government;

However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, thanks to Liu Xiu to come up with such a method, in fact, at the beginning when he divided the county and ruled by himself, the system did not give a quota, only when he invited the little emperor's holy decree, Liu Xiu successfully got the two places of Panyang County and Luling County!

"Report!"

A long call from far and near directly interrupted Liu Xiu's thoughts.

Liu Xiu came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Say! ”

Xiao Bing said that Hu was extremely fast, and he told the matter in a few words: "Lord Qi, Jiujiang Yuan Shu has been proclaimed emperor a few days ago!" ”

"Yuan Shu is the emperor?!" Liu Xiu was a little stunned, and muttered to himself: "At this time?!" I always thought it would be until the end of next year! ”

Liu Xiu thought about it carefully, but suddenly laughed out loud, and then immediately ordered: "Quickly spread the civil and military to come to discuss the matter!" ”

In the main hall, as soon as everyone sat down, Liu Xiu couldn't wait to say: "The five elements of conquering the world: talents, soldiers and horses, cities, people, and reputation, the first four I have begun to take root, and now only this reputation has not yet fallen, I didn't expect this marquis to come to something!" This Yuan Shu actually rebelled against the emperor at this time, such a good opportunity, I will definitely use it to move the world! What do you think? ”

Yuan Shu called the emperor a great rebellion, in Liu Xiu's view, sending troops to recruit Yuan Shu at this time is definitely a good opportunity to brush up his reputation, which can make him more famous than Jingnan in winter and Sun Ce defeated in Yuzhang!

Therefore, Liu Xiu will definitely not miss this opportunity, it is imperative to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, the difference is only how to gain more prestige!

As soon as Liu Xiu spoke, everyone already knew Liu Xiu's plan, so they all opened their mouths and said, "The lord is wise!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey" Liu Xiu smiled smugly and asked, "In that case, what do you think of this trip?" Come on! ”

As soon as Liu Xiu asked, everyone in the hall thought silently, and after a while, a new face stood up and said
