This night, the two lay in bed and talked a lot, explaining their hearts in detail, but when they said it, they found that they knew each other and could understand. A kind of heart-to-heart love lingers in the hearts of the two. In the end, nothing was said again, it was already silent and sound, hugging each other and slowly falling asleep!

In the early morning of the next day, after washing, Wang Xu sent someone to take Yan Ming to the general's mansion. But it is very, very regrettable that the carriage has not yet arrived, but Guo Jia came to Houfu first. He also said that the aftermath had been completed, and hoped that Wang Xu would immediately convene the ministers to announce the rewards and punishments for this battle, as well as the future direction of action.

Such a request cannot be refused, nor can it be refused. After nodding his head and agreeing, and asking Guo Jia to inform everyone, Wang Xu could only helplessly look at Xu Shu beside him: "Wife." Today's discussion, I'm afraid I won't be able to play for a while, but only you will receive Yan Ming. Ay! ”

"Go with confidence!" Xu Shu glanced at Wang Xu with a smile and said, "I will communicate with Yan Ming well." ”

"Wife, you're so nice!"

"Gross!" Xu Shu exaggerated a vomiting posture, and then smiled: "Don't be disgusting, go quickly, you have to sort out your thoughts first." ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu didn't laugh anymore, nodded, and slowly walked to the front mansion, and ordered the guards guarding the courtyard gate to notify Shan Huai and the three spy commanders to participate.

In this war, the ending is satisfactory, but both at the beginning and in the process, many problems have been exposed, and they must be ordered to improve. Moreover, Jingnan suffered a lot of losses this time, and if you add the post-war pacification and recovery investment, then the next problems are not many.

Thinking about these all the way, Wang Xu rushed to the conference hall first. At this time, there were only three people in the hall, Liu Xiang, Dong He, and Gong Qiu, and after waving their hands to stop them from saluting, they walked directly to the main seat, thinking about how to organize everyone's deliberations later.

Because it takes a certain amount of time for the generals in the army to arrive, I waited for a long time today, and it took nearly three quarters of an hour before they arrived one after another.

At this time, Wang Xu was almost ready. His eyes swept over the whispering crowd in the hall. Slowly reach out and gesture. "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me!"

With his words, everyone also stopped in an instant, turned their eyes around, and waited intently for Wang Xu to continue.

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled gently, and then continued unhurriedly: "Everyone." I think everyone knows what it is for, so I will say no more. And the first thing to do is to reward and punish the merits and demerits of this battle. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu's face slowly became solemn. There was silence for a moment, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Shan Huai and the three spy commanders. said lightly: "Shan Huai, Ling Wanqing, Liang Rui." In this battle, Liu Biao was suddenly attacked, and the enemy army quickly entered our hinterland, causing Yan zhòng losses, and the cause was the lack of intelligence. And any demand for spy shadows has always been a priority supply, why is this happening? Is there a reason? ”

In fact, the three of them have been mentally prepared for a long time. Immediately got up and knelt down and said, "It's our dereliction of duty!" ”

"Hmm. Since there is no reason, then the three of you must be held accountable this time. He said. Wang Xu paused, and then suddenly said sharply: "The rank of the spy commander has been lowered by two levels, and the rules of Jingnan have decreased, can you have any objections?" ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Without any hesitation, the three of them bowed in response.

"Okay, let's go back to the location first!"

"No!"

As the three of them sat back, Wang Xu spoke again: "Punishment is not the goal, you spy must give me an improved plan, how to prevent similar things from happening in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shan Huai and the three of them were slightly stunned, and glanced at each other, obviously not expecting Wang Xu to ask about this. But soon, Shan Huai still replied as a representative: "Lord, the main reason for the mistake of the spy this time is that the delivery of information is not timely enough. The subordinates and others have been rectified, and in the future, the transmission of information from neighboring forces, whether it is related to our Jingnan or not, will also have a maximum period of shelf, and within this period, regardless of whether there are more important movements, must be reported. ”

"Hmmm! Very good. Wang Xu nodded approvingly, but then his voice changed, and he continued: "But this is not enough!" Although it seems that this time it is indeed because the intelligence transmission is not timely enough, the people of the spy department think that Liu Biaojun's transfer has nothing to do with Jingnan, so they suppress it, wanting to wait for more information to return together. But in fact, this reflects a very strict problem, that is, the person in charge of the spy does not have a keen sense of smell of the war, and regards military movements as unimportant information, which is the fundamental reason. ”

"It's a good idea for you to set deadlines, but it's also an indisputable fact that it takes time, manpower and material resources to deliver information, so you don't have to be too tight. The most important thing is to strengthen the analytical ability of the spy department, especially to grasp the trend of the war. From now on, you must order the middle and high-level personnel of the entire spy film to study military affairs, and conduct an assessment every six months, and those who are capable are preferred! ”

Shan Huai and the three of them didn't seem to think of this, and when they heard Wang Xu's words, they immediately fell into deep thought. It took a long time to react, and he replied solemnly: "No! ”

Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't give any more advice, his eyes turned to Liu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Wu Zhuo, in this war, an important reason for the fall of Hanshou is that there are internal thieves, and it is a coincidence, and it is a hero. Coupled with the theft of important official documents from the Taishou Mansion in Changsha, it can be seen that Liu Biao has bought and co-opted many heroes in Jingnan. I hope that you will do your best to find out the rest and prevent this from happening again. ”

Liu Yi was very straightforward, and almost immediately said: "Lord, give your subordinates three months, and this matter will definitely be done within three months." ”

"Good!"

Wang Xu smiled and nodded, in order to show his trust, he didn't tell him more, and his eyes turned back to the civil officials and military generals. "The final success of this war is the result of the concerted efforts and joint efforts of all of you, so they are all meritorious and have been recorded."

"The merits of the generals are obvious to all, and now according to the merits before and after, Gao Shun, Xu Sheng, Wang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhou Zhi are generals, and the pro-guard department can be expanded to 1,000 people. However, the original commanders remained unchanged, and the rest of the generals were rewarded after Liu Biao was pacified, and the army would be reorganized at that time. ”

"Wuling is too guarded by Wang Mastiff, Yuzhang is too guarded by Lai Gong to resist the enemy, and he has been promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General in addition to the military position, and his position remains unchanged!"

With Wang Xu's series of appointments issued, it took a long time for everyone to react. Those who were present quickly got up and thanked them. "Thank you, my lord!"

"Hmmm! I hope that you will continue to work hard in the future. ”

"I will live up to the expectations of my lord!"

Hearing this, Wang Xu nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "Sit down first!" ”

"No!"

As the congregation takes its seats. Only then did Wang Xu answer: "Han Meng." Guanhai! ”

"In!"

After taking a closer look at the two of them, Wang Xu said solemnly: "After the army is reorganized, you two will each lead 10,000 horses." Han Meng guards Exian County, Guan Hai guards Yidao, must always be vigilant Liu Biao, before my expedition in the coming year, I must not travel again! ”

"No!"

Seeing that the two answered simply. Wang Xu couldn't help but admonish: "Guan Hai, you are in Wuling, if you want to discuss with Wang Mastiff more, you must be cautious." You have many years of experience in fighting, so you must be safe. If there is a situation, it is necessary to report it to the General's Office immediately. Han Meng, you are guarding Exian alone, there is no one to discuss, I will only give you eight words, you have to keep it in mind. ”

"My lord, please speak!" Han Meng said respectfully.

"The port is embankmentd, and it is as immovable as a mountain!"

With Wang Xu's faint voice, Han Meng thought for a moment and nodded solemnly: "The last general must be kept in mind!" ”

"Hahaha! Good! And so it goes. The border will be worry-free. In the future, Jingnan's first goal is to work hard to stock up on supplies. Prepare for next year's expedition to Liu Biao, no matter what. In the spring of next year, troops must be sent to Jingbei. If Liu Biao is not removed for a day, I will never have a peaceful day in Jingnan! ”

As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to answer, Wang Xu already said sharply: "Then report the losses of this battle now, and the future development must also be discussed today to achieve results and implement it immediately!" ”

"No!"

With the voice of the people, the meeting entered the most cumbersome stage of government affairs. It was also the longest meeting in Jingnan's history, lasting from morning to evening......

And just when everyone was racking their brains to fight for Liu Biao, Yan Ming finally arrived at the back of the General's Mansion......

Seeing a beautiful woman walking into the courtyard under the guidance of Xiaoyu from a distance, Xu Shu also smiled and got up to greet her. "Yan Ming, I have long heard that your beauty is the best in the world, and now that I see it, it really deserves your name!"

Yan Ming replied politely: "No, my sister praised it." ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly, motioned for Xiaoyu to go down first, then took Yan Ming's hand affectionately and slowly walked to the pavilion in the pool. "Okay, you and I don't have to be so literate, it's better to be natural!"

"Huh! All right! Xu Shu's enthusiasm also infected Yan Ming, and nodded with a smile.

After just looking at it casually, he didn't see Wang Xu, and couldn't help but wonder: "What about Wang Xu?" Isn't he there? ”

"Oh! Guo Jia called him over in an urgent matter just now, he should be in the conference hall at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time. ”

"That's it!" Yan Ming suddenly lowered his head with some regret.

Xu Shu noticed, but didn't say much, and quickly took her to the gazebo and sat down. "Yan Ming, these are all snacks made by me and Diao Chan, you can taste them, they should be good!"

"Thank you!" Yan Ming smiled shyly, slowly picked up a piece and took a bite gently. "Well, it's delicious! My sister's craftsmanship is really good. ”

"Hehe, you can come often in the future!" Xu Shu said with a smile.

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to say this, but then shook his head: "After lunch, I'm leaving." ”

"Let's go?" Xu Shu glanced at Yan Ming strangely, and said puzzledly, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home! Back to Hebei! Yan Ming said in a low voice.

This made Xu Shu not know what to say for a while, and all the words that had been prepared for a long time were useless, and she looked at Yan Ming quietly for a long time, but she couldn't help but suddenly ask, "Aren't you going to marry him?" ”

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xu Shu to know everything, he shook his head a little panicked, and said with a stiff face: "Sister said that I laughed, how could I marry him, it's just a friend." ”

"Friends? Is the rhetoric of the afterlife valid here? ”

Saying that, Xu Shu looked at Yan Ming, who didn't dare to raise his head, and couldn't help but say softly: "Yan Ming, don't deceive yourself, there are some things that must be faced, and I know all your things." You treat me as a friend now, maybe the two of us can communicate and communicate well. ”

Yan Ming silently took a bite of the snack in his hand, as if he wanted to avoid this question, but only the two of them sat face to face like this, it was possible to escape. After a long time, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry!" ”

"Why are you sorry?"

"I shouldn't have intervened between you!"

Xu Shu let out a long sigh. Shaking his head and laughing, "You can say that." You can see that you are a good girl. But this is not to blame you, destiny is like this, you and I have no choice. Actually, you don't have to go, maybe we can be good sisters! ”

Hearing this, Yan Ming raised his head suddenly, as if he was extremely surprised, and looked at Xu Shu speechless for a long time.

"Sister. Can you accept it? ”

"Accept what?"

"Accept other women's involvement?"

"Can't!"

"That ......"

As if knowing what Yan Ming wanted to say, Xu Shu hurriedly took over and said: "I can't tolerate others interfering in my relationship with him, but in this era, we need to adapt to the living environment, since we love him, then we need to be tolerant." And he loves me dearly, and that's enough! ”

"But why, why is this happening?" Yan Ming said with some excitement.

"It's already like this, there's no why!" Xu Shu said lightly.

Yan Ming was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and excitedly continued: "If she really loves ...... loves you, so why did he marry so much? ”

"Because of instinct! The instinct of a male animal like a human. Saying that, Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, man is also an animal. And now in this era. There is nothing to restrain and change that instinctive mind, so it cannot be suppressed! ”

"And. As the lord of Jingnan, he may even become emperor in the future. Then he must conform to this era, adapt to this era, and he has no choice. In this era, there is no need for a person to tell them great truths, but a hero, a hegemon, and that's it! Neither you, nor I, nor even him, can change this mind in our lifetime. ”

Yan Ming cried, she didn't know why she was crying, this girl who likes nature and has a sensitive and fragile heart is so weak at the moment, and her beautiful face is even more poignant.

Xu Shu can understand her heart at the moment, because he has never thought about it, it can be said that he thought about it very early, and he has been thinking about it since they met when they were children. And after more than ten years of entanglement, she has a big belly and tolerance in the eyes of others.

"Yan Ming, escaping doesn't solve the problem, even if you die, what can you change? Not only does it not make sense, but it also has no effect, the world is still turning, and a qiē is still happening. What you can do is try your best to strive for your own happiness and adjust your mentality. ”

"Sister, but my heart hurts!" Yan Ming never dared to show his thoughts to anyone, because no one understood. And the only person who can understand her is Xu Shu in front of her, although she is a rival in love, loneliness still makes her choose to speak.

"I understand!" Seeing her like this, Xu Shu sighed with emotion, in fact, she had never been in pain, but fortunately, she was in her childhood, and Wang Xu always accompanied him, no one intervened at that time, and she could calmly spend more than ten years to adjust herself.

Crystal tears slowly slipped down her face, Yan Ming's heart was suffering, and Xu Shu didn't know what to say, for this girl, she had given herself the greatest tolerance and comfort.

After a long time, Yan Ming raised his head firmly, shook his head and said: "We are all outcasts of fate, my sister is a good woman and has the courage to fight, but I can't do it, I really can't do it, I will never get involved between you!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly shook her head in disappointment. "Why don't you understand? This is no longer a question of whether you get involved or not, whether you marry her or not, if you never adjust your mentality, you will never be happy, and life will lose its meaning. ”

Yan Ming obviously couldn't understand Xu Shu's good intentions, and still said stubbornly: "Sister, I'll leave now, and from now on, I will never come to Jingnan again!" ”

"Why are you doing this?"

Yan Ming didn't speak, but the look in his eyes had already expressed his heart.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but shake her head and said with a wry smile: "You can't run away, if you struggle like this, it will only be more painful." Moreover, I understand his character, you can't run away! ”

"What can he do to me?"

"He can't do anything to you, he really won't do anything to you with his temperament, but he is a hegemon now, and what he wants, he will definitely get it."

Yan Ming cried even more fiercely, and the beautiful voice of the yellow warbler out of the valley became a little hoarse: "Then can't I hide?" ”

"Where are you hiding?"

"Hebei!"

"He'll hit Hebei, trust me!"

"Then I'll hide in the mountains!"

"He'll send a spy to find you!"

"Then it's okay if I cut my face!"

Hearing this, Xu Shu looked at this innocent girl with some pity, and sighed: "You underestimate him, you will only make you and him miserable, what he cares about is not your appearance!" ”

"Don't I have a choice?" Yan Ming choked up.

"Yes, in fact, your choice is to be happy or unhappy! If you really want to torture yourself, he really can't do anything, but what's the point? It's not a good thing to torture each other. ”

Saying this lightly, Xu Shu looked at Yan Ming, and then said solemnly: "You should consider my words carefully, I hope you can make the right choice!" Don't go down the wrong path, ruin yourself, and make others suffer for you. (To be continued.) )
