"Lord Qiqi, there are people outside the mansion who ask to see him, claiming to be the envoy of Chang'an!"

"Chang'an? Liu Bei's people? Liu Xiu, who was immersed in the desk case and worked hard to evaluate official business, didn't think much about it when he heard this report, immediately put down his pen, looked at the first two scribes who were also working hard to review the official documents, and said with a smile: "Guangping (Song Jingzi), Yuanzhi (Yao Chongzi), you are busy first, and my father will go to meet Liu Bei's envoy..."

When they heard this, they only looked up, and then they laughed at each other, and then continued to work hard.

…

As soon as Liu Xiu walked out of the study, he only felt physically and mentally happy, this kind of depressed review of government affairs, he had been doing it for two or three months in a row, and he only felt that his whole body was like falling apart, and he had no energy every day, however, he felt the urge to die when he thought that he might have to work for decades in the future.

Walking leisurely, Liu Xiu unconsciously arrived at the side hall of the house, but before he entered the door, he heard the familiar shouting in the side hall,

"Why do you people from the Chu Mansion know so much about etiquette? I am the envoy of Uncle Liu Huang, the prince of the Han Dynasty, does Liu Jixu plan to meet me in this side hall?! ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he entered the hall with his head held high, "Yo Yo Yo... Who should I be, it turns out that Shiyuan, you also voted for Uncle Liu Huang, how can you have time to come to me today to be a blessing?! ”

The one who came was [Phoenix Chick] Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan!

"Whether I voted for Uncle Huang or not, I want you to care!" Pang Tong subconsciously answered, and then reacted, and said 'viciously': "Okay, you Liu Jixu, you actually fooled me like this..."

But the next moment, he straightened his clothes again, and snorted: "Today I am the emperor's uncle and envoy, and you Liu Jixu are the Duke of Chu, is this how you treat others like this?!" ”

"Oh, it's not like I don't know that Shiyuan has arrived. How dare you do this..."Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and shouted: "Come on, don't serve tea, serve good tea!" ”

"It's also that the subordinates are not doing things well, and Shi Yuan is not strange..."

"It's just that I don't know when Shi Yuan actually left my brother. Uncle Tou Huang went?! Liu Xiu squeezed his eyebrows and made a fool of himself.

"Hmph, when did I become your brother?!" Pang Tong didn't give Liu Xiu any face, and his tone was weird, and suddenly his eyebrows moved again, and he said with a smile: "Hmph, I am like-minded with Uncle Huang, not to mention that Kong Ming introduced me to me... How difficult can an envoy be?! ”

"Oh?!" Liu Xiu laughed twice and circled around Pang Tong twice. looked up and down, and mocked: "Hey, why doesn't Shiyuan call the imperial uncle 'lord'?!" ”

"It's... I have a good relationship with Uncle Huang like friends, how can you understand the joints?! Pang Tong said casually.

"Oh?! I see, I just don't know if Shi Yuan and Uncle Huang have the same interests, how could they let Kong Ming take the lead?! Liu Xiu smiled, he still didn't know the temperament of this 'Pang child'. How could he be like-minded with Liu Bei

"Kong Ming went on the orders of his master, so he was naturally faster than me!"

"Hey. I don't know what Shi Yuan is here for Uncle Huang this time, what is the so-called matter?! Liu Xiu squeezed his eyes and smiled, and asked curiously: "It must not be easy to be able to drive Shiyuan here, right?!" ”

"That's nature?!" When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately became serious, "This time I am here on behalf of the imperial uncle." Want to form an alliance with Ji Xu's truce! ”

"In order to show sincerity, Uncle Huang is willing to unconditionally offer the entire territory of Hanzhong, and sign a treaty of mutual non-aggression and mutual trade and market!"

"Dedicated to Hanzhong? Also the whole territory? Liu Xiu was surprised and laughed: "Shi Yuanmo is not here to make fun of me, right?" ”

"In the whole territory of Hanzhong, only Yangping Pass and Nanzheng are still in the hands of the emperor. The rest of the lands have been exhausted, why should I sign this covenant?! ”

"Hmph, Ji Xu, how could I not know you?!" Pang Tong said with a straight face: "After you ordered your subordinates to capture Wuguan, you did not gather heavy troops, crossed Wuguan, and entered the pass, obviously because, after the last year's campaign, you are powerless at this time, and you can't guarantee to take Yongliang all, I am afraid that the forces in Liangzhou will be taken advantage of this alliance by the imperial uncle to resist your army, and I am even more afraid that after swallowing Guanzhong, I will be regarded as the strongest princes,"

"At that time, Cao Cao will definitely unite with the Sun clan to attack in two directions, plus the emperor and Xiliang, as well as the emperor of Si Li, several armies will attack together, with your insufficient military strength, you will definitely not be able to take the pass, and you will face the loss of the city and land..."

"Otherwise, if it weren't for the uneven conditions of soldiers and horses, grain and grass, armaments, etc., would you Liu Jixu be willing to suspend the army to support the people?"

Pang Tong said, and also began to taunt Liu Xiu with eyebrows.

"Pang Shiyuan deserves to be Pang Shiyuan," Liu Xiu was not alarmed when Pang Tong could see through everything, and only asked: "Even so, Uncle Liu Huang only plans to pay that little bit of Hanzhong land, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" ”

"Naturally, that's not enough." Pang Tongyi listened and said with a smile: "It's just that for the world where the situation is becoming clearer now, who do you Liu Jixu think will be your strongest opponent?" ”

"Shi Yuan is talking about Cao Cao?" Liu Xiu asked.

"Exactly!" Pang Shiyuan clapped his hands and raised his voice: "Cao Cao is the **** of the Han family, the second is a strong general, and there is a vast territory and more than half of the Han people, although he has been slightly defeated recently, but as long as a few years later, when he digests Yuan's Hebei and makes a comeback, I want to continue to be busy with you...!" ”

"Perhaps." Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, and did not directly echo Pang Tong's words.

"Before coming here, Uncle Huang promised that he and Liu Jixu were both relatives of the Han family, and they should not fight in the same room, as long as Ji Xu you quit the army and truce this time, Uncle Huang is willing to join forces with the Sun family and share Cao Cao's territory with you in the future!"

"Among them, you take Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Sun takes Qingji and Hebei, and Uncle Huang takes and merges the two places!"

"What does Ji Xu think?!" Pang Tong said impassionedly, smiling slightly, and staring at Liu Xiu tightly.

Liu Xiu condensed his eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "I'm still thinking, what moved Shi Yuan, but it turned out that Shi Yuan wanted to learn from the sage Su Qin, hang the seal of the six countries, unite the countries, divide Cao Wei, and establish an immortal fame?!" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he smiled and said nothing, but he kept looking at Liu Xiu, he was confident that this was the best development strategy for Liu Xiu: if you take Yongliang, the princes will be hostile, and the gains outweigh the losses; In the future, if you attack Wei together, you will gain fame and fortune...

"This matter is very important, I still have to discuss with my subordinate martial arts, and give Shi Yuan an answer in two days!" Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment and said.

"Good!"

"I wonder if Shi Yuan is in a hurry to send an envoy to Soochow?" Liu Xiu saw that he had finished talking about business, and suddenly asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, Ji Xu has something?"

"In a few days, the newly renovated Jingshan Academy will be completed, I wonder if Shi Yuan is interested in accompanying me to watch the ceremony?" Liu Xiu smiled and said, "This Jingshan Academy was planned and built by me with my own hands, so how many more days does Shiyuan have to stay?" (To be continued.) )
