Liu Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Liu Bei's question: "The problem is here, as long as the Wuhuan people don't act rashly, then Shanggu will be fine, and the troops will not be nervous." ”

After listening to Liu Xiu's analysis, Lu Min also calmed down and immediately grasped the crux of the problem: "Then how can we make the Wuhuan people not act rashly?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "If you want to rebel, I'm afraid Shanggu will already be in chaos." This time, he first took Huai Zong to Ningcheng, and then Lu Anhou colluded with Xianbei people, although it seems that they are all Nanlou's subordinates, but I think he must have hesitated, and now send someone to question him, he may not dare to admit it. He pondered for a moment: "The problem lies in the attitude of the envoy, if the envoy is still so weak, he is afraid that the difficult building will gain an inch, if the envoy's attitude is tough, even if the difficult building will not obey, at least he will not dare to tear his face and defect." ”

Lu Min pondered for a long time, but was still a little uneasy: "Your words do have some truth, but what if the Wuhuan people turn around?" Taking a step back, even if the Wuhuan people don't rebel, it is impossible for him to support us unreservedly, and we may not dare to believe them. ”

"So, we have another one to lean on." Liu Xiu smiled slightly.

"Who?"

"Outcasts." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "There are tens of thousands of displaced people pouring into Youzhou, and it shouldn't be a big problem to pick a few thousand people from them to help defend the city, right?" The Xianbei people can't live for a long time, as long as we hold the city, they have nothing to gain from plundering, and in the end they have to return empty-handed? ”

Lu Min suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"Senior brother, as long as you explain these three things to the envoy, he will naturally do it. What you have to care about is the teacher. Liu Xiu squeezed his eyes and gestured to Mao Yan outside: "This ...... It's an opportunity. ”

Lu Min's face turned red suddenly. When Zhang Fei and Liu Bei saw it, they couldn't help but laugh evilly.

Mao Yan leaned on the pillar and looked at the green mountains in the distance, sad, with tears on her face. Hearing the footsteps behind her, she woke up in shock, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, trying her best to make herself look natural.

"Deran?" Seeing Liu Xiu's calm face, Mao Yan even smiled a little, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "You ...... Got a solution? ”

"It's a preliminary plan, whether it can be done or not, and in the end it depends on which step can be achieved." Liu Xiu smiled: "You didn't hear a word of what we just said?" ”

Mao Yan was a little flustered, although she was outside, but her mind was all in the house, how could she not know at all, although she didn't hear it very clearly, but then she heard their laughter.

Liu Xiu briefly talked about the discussion just now, and finally said, "For you, this is an opportunity. ”

Mao Yan was a little embarrassed, but she was reluctant to listen, and asked pretending not to understand, "What chance?" ”

"Hehe...... Liu Xiu touched his nose and blinked: "How about we make a deal?" ”

"Deal?" Mao Yan was really confused this time, she stared at Liu Xiu for a while: "What deal do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to rush back to Peach Valley soon, report to the teacher about what happened here, and ask him to propose to the owner of Mao." Liu Xiu deliberately stopped, looking at Mao Yan intently, Mao Yan was overjoyed, and was waiting for him to say it, but when he saw him selling Guanzi, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and his eyes turned to understand the meaning of the transaction Liu Xiu said: "What conditions do you have?" ”

"You tell me about that girl." Liu Xiu smiled: "Which girl I'm talking about, you must know." ”

Mao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "You haven't died yet?" ”

"I'm not that easy to die."

"Okay, I can tell you. However, don't go back on what you've heard. ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Liu Xiu patted his chest and said, "Of course, I just do my best to do your business, and I don't guarantee that it will be done." ”

"Alas, if you can't do it, I guess it's really impossible." Mao Yan sighed, and then said: "That's my cousin, surnamed Wang, a single name with a Chu character, is a native of Zhao Guo, her grandfather is an official to the five senses, her father is a Lang Zhong because of the relationship between Ren Zi, but unfortunately she has been in the palace for more than ten years or is still a Lang Zhong, and there is no hope for promotion, so her grandfather decided to send her to the palace, hoping that she can fight for some opportunities for the glory and wealth of the Wang family." ”

"Want to be a relative of the emperor?" Liu Xiu frowned.

Mao Yan nodded: "You should know by now why I said you didn't have a chance, right?" ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, if this is the case, then what Mao Yan said is indeed good, he is a grass people, how can he be more attractive than the emperor. However, he didn't take Mao's ridicule to heart, do you think you can be a queen when you enter the palace? Wang Zhaojun is so beautiful, didn't he marry Xiongnu Shan Yu in the end? Although the chance is indeed small, it is not necessarily equal to zero.

"Whether there's a chance or not, that's my business." Liu Xiu smiled: "I just hope that when she passes by on her return trip, you can help me create some opportunities, how about it?" ”

Mao Yan sighed, said "idiot" again, but said enviously: "It is a blessing for Achu to have an admirer like you, but unfortunately, you still don't have any chance." The Wang family can pin all the glory and wealth on her, you are a white body, even if you are amazingly talented, it is impossible to give the Wang family what they want. ”

Liu Xiu didn't argue, cleaned up a little, and then set off for Peach Valley. Before leaving, he asked someone to send a letter to Zhao Yi in Juyongguan, he said, the war is about to start, it is an opportunity for a good man to make a meritorious name, your younger brother Zhao Yun has such good martial arts, you should seize this opportunity to make a contribution. Yan Zhao is a strong man, now that Youzhou has insufficient troops, if you can bring some private troops over, I believe that whether it is Lord Thorn Shi or Lord Captain, it will be very welcome.

On the way, he tentatively contacted some homeless people, and released a rumor that he hoped to meet Zhang Ming, and among the three ideas he gave Lu Min, one about homeless people, he felt that Taiping Dao might be able to help. Things went well, and when he arrived in Jixian County, Zhang Ming found him.

"Figured it out?" Zhang Ming asked with a smile as soon as they met.

Liu Xiu shook his head: "Not yet, I have another thing to look for you." ”

Zhang Ming's face sank, very unhappy, and Yang Feng, who was following him, also sank his face, and shouted angrily: "Who are you and my master, come and go as soon as you are recruited?" ”

Liu Xiu ignored her and bowed to Zhang Ming very solemnly: "I have a question and want to ask for advice." ”

Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, put away the unhappiness in his heart, and said a little reluctantly: "You say." ”

"Your Taoist name is Taiping, but is it because you believe in the Taiping Sutra?"

"Taiping Sutra?" To Liu Xiu's surprise, Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression: "What Taiping Sutra?" ”

Liu Xiu's sweat suddenly fell, and the people of Taiping Dao didn't know the Taiping Sutra? What kind of oolong is this?

"We are called Taiping because we hope that the world will be peaceful and build a peaceful and prosperous world." Zhang Ming was surprised when he saw Liu Xiu, so he explained: "We believe in Lao Jun's Tao Te Ching, which has nothing to do with the Taiping Sutra. By the way, what is the Taiping Sutra you are talking about? ”
