(Sell cute rolls and ask for recommendations!) Collect! Click! )

Liu Xiu, who had solved the military affairs, did not stop, and directly began to discuss the government affairs of the four counties of Jingnan.

said that it was government affairs, but in fact, it was just some small things, and only the most important thing was the question about Liu Xiu's own officials.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the clan was rampant, if Liu Xiu had been such an unjustifiable leader of the four counties of Jingnan, not to mention conquering the world, it would be a step further and extremely difficult.

When the Three Kingdoms were divided in later generations, the talents in Eastern Wu were basically from a few big clans in Jiangdong, and Cao Wei and Western Shu were all the same.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but ask Liu Bowen a few people: "Now we have unified the four counties of Jingnan, although the region is southern, and it is not a prosperous place, but the size is also a prince who dominates one side, and you can't always bear the false name of a vanguard general?" What do you think? ”

Wei Rui said: "If the name is not right, it is not good!" The lord should have planned for this matter in advance! ”

Fang Xuanling also said: "If the lord wants to get an official, he still needs to get a decree from the court, although the court now exists in name only, but the Han Dynasty is still powerful for more than four hundred years, and having the will of the court in hand is the right way!" ”

Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and said analytically: "Now that His Majesty the Emperor will return to Luoyang, I still need to work hard to ask His Majesty to make an official decree!" ”

Liu Xiu stared at everyone and asked, "How can I work this?" I, the land of Jingnan, can't help the emperor at all, how can I ask the emperor for an official position? ”

Listening to Liu Xiu's question, Fang Xuanling only thought about it for a while, and then asserted in a deep voice: "The lord has now actually mastered the four counties of Jingnan, and the imperial court is powerless to stop it, so it is not easy for the lord to ask for the corresponding official title; Furthermore, no matter what the lord says, he can be regarded as a clan member of the Han family and an imperial noble, and he only needs to make a little effort, with the recent situation of the emperor today, he must be very happy to give the lord an official! ”

"What Xuan Ling said is reasonable!" Liu Bowen echoed Fang Xuanling and said: "As for this 'little effort', it is also simple, today's saint is now surrounded by dangers, the lord only needs to send people to plan for the saint, and it can be successful, and if the strength of the saint grows today, it can also contain the development speed of the princes of the Central Plains for us!" ”

"Brilliant plan!" When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "If it goes well, then wouldn't I not only be able to get an official title, but also use the hand of the current emperor to contain Cao Cao and others?!" Brilliant plan, really good plan! It's just that who wants to go on this trip? ”

"Xuan Ling is willing to go!" Before everyone could react, Fang Xuanling got up and said firmly, he had just come and had not made a meritorious service, but this trip was in line with him, and he was also a little sure, so he got up and asked Ying to go.

Liu Xiu naturally believed in Fang Xuanling's strategy, but he was a little worried about his safety, so he said: "Since this is the case, then Xuanling will go and let General Luo Cheng lead the cavalry to escort him along the way!" ”

Now that there is no war around him, the five hundred cavalry he has recently collected for Luo Cheng will not be needed, so he will be sent to Fang Xuanling as a guard, maybe he can still use it.

"Whoa!"

Not to mention Liu Xiu's coordination of military and political affairs, Changsha County also ushered in a distinguished guest.

I saw that at this time, under the county town of Changsha, a general in gorgeous armor Zhen led tens of thousands of horses and shouted at Xie Xuan on the city wall: "Where is Liu Xiu? Why don't you come out to greet you? ”

This person is Cai Mao, who heard that Liu Xiu had captured Changsha, so he was impatient to lead the troops.

"The lord is no longer in Changsha County, I don't know why the general is looking for my lord's office?" Xie Xuan shouted in a deep voice, he saw that there were at least 50,000 soldiers outside the city, so he couldn't be cautious.

Cai Mao heard that Liu Xiu was not in Changsha County, and he didn't care about it, but said arrogantly: "I am the commander of this counterinsurgency, and I will lead 50,000 troops to quell the rebellion today, quickly open the city gate and let General Ben in!" ”

Xie Xuan had already received the battle report from Guiyang yesterday, and when he heard what Cai Mao said today, he immediately thought about it and shouted at Cai Mao: "General Cai is late!" The Jingnan rebellion has been quelled and the war has ceased! General Cai, let's hurry back home! ”

"Nonsense!" When Cai Mao heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded: "The rebellion in the three counties of Jingnan, Zhang Xian has 80,000 soldiers, how can it be pacified in just two months, it is obvious that you are lying, don't say more, quickly open the door and let me in, otherwise don't blame General Ben for being unkind!" ”

Xie Xuan continued to shout loudly: "General Mingjian, now that Zhang Xian, Zhang Yi's father and son are dead, and the 80,000 troops under his command are all dead, this is a fact, General Cai should go home!" Otherwise, my Changsha County will not have extra grain and grass to supply so many soldiers under General Cai's command, and his crime will be great at that time! ”

"You, you" Cai Mao trembled angrily and yelled: "Don't say it again!" Hurry up and open the door, otherwise don't blame General Ben for attacking the city with 50,000 soldiers!

This time I heard that Changsha had been captured, so he led his troops here just to take over Changsha, and he didn't bring much grain and grass at all, if he couldn't get the support of grain and grass in Changsha County, he couldn't afford to stay outside the city for even one more day.

Xie Xuan ignored Cai Mao's anger, but said coldly: "General Cai atoned for his crimes, there are 40,000 troops under my lord's command stationed in Changsha County, and there is no place for General Cai's soldiers to rest, please ask General Cai to forgive me a lot!" ”

As soon as Cai Mao heard that there were 40,000 horses stationed in the city, the anger in his chest subsided at once, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart. You must know that these 50,000 soldiers and horses were drawn from the naval army under the control of his Cai family, in order to occupy the military and political power of the four counties in Jingnan, if it is consumed like this, then his Cai family's status in Jingzhou will plummet; But if you don't attack it, the guards won't open the door, won't you have to retreat to Xiangyang!

Thinking of this, Cai Mao's straight teeth itched, he didn't dare to attack, he couldn't drag it out, there was no other way except to retreat, helpless, Cai Mao hated and ordered: "Withdraw!" Return! Assist! Yang! ”

Xie Xuan, who was on top of the city tower, saw Cai Mao retreating, and took a long breath: Although there are indeed 40,000 troops in the city, they are basically recruits who have never seen blood, even if he Xie Xuan is slightly clever in fighting, it will be a lose-lose ending, and now that Cai Mao can retreat, he will have time to train, and no matter how many people he comes in the coming year, he will not be afraid of him!

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xuan immediately called a messenger and reported the situation to Liu Xiu in Guiyang.

The next day, Liu Xiu received the information, but he didn't care, just looked at the sky coldly, and muttered to himself: "Now that I have this foundation, why not be afraid of Cai Mao!" ”

clenched his fists again and said fiercely: "Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day!" In this world, I will finally be allowed to gallop! ”

End of Volume 2!
