Shijia!

In the study, Shi Xie and Shi Yi sat opposite each other.

The expressions on the faces of the two were different.

The expression on Shi Xie's face was solemn, with a hint of worry.

On the contrary, it was Shi Yi, who looked excited.

The news of Chen's return from defeat has reached the Shijia. Shi Xie learned the news, so he called Shi Yi to the study as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

Shi Yi said: "Brother, Chen Zhi is defeated, which proves that Liu Xiu is about to come to the city." Especially Chen Zhi defeated all the troops under Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei's troops are insufficient, and it is impossible to resist Liu Xiu. That's a good thing, why are you worried? ”

Shi Xie glared at Shi Yi and said, "Are you so brainless?"

"Ahh

Shi Yi said: "Big brother, what are you scolding me for?"

Shi Xie replied: "Liu Xiu is about to come to the city, isn't Liu Bei nervous? At this time, do you say that Liu Bei will let the Shi family go? Now this time is precisely the most dangerous time for the Shi family. ”

At this time, Shi Xie's eyes flashed with wisdom.

He has reached the age of ancient times, and at this age, he has seen too many things.

People grow old and become 'fine'!

The current Shixie is definitely quite thoughtful in thinking about things.

Shi Yi said: "What does the eldest brother mean that Liu Bei wants to do something to the Shi family?"

Shi Xie looked at Shi Yi's face, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "The Shi family is a prominent family in Guangxin County, and it is not easy to do it. Especially if Liu Bei's troops were damaged, he would not easily use his sword soldiers. So now Liu Bei is also hesitating to choose. The old man expected that Liu Bei might send someone to invite the old man to the governor's mansion to discuss matters. ”

Shi Yi said directly: "Big brother can't go, once the big brother goes, if Liu Bei detains you, the Shi family will be pinched in Liu Bei's hands." ”

Shi Xie said: "If you don't go, Liu Bei has reason to believe that the Shi family has fallen to Liu Xiu and will attack." ”

Shi Yi said strongly: "Fight, fight, who is afraid of whom!"

Shi Xie sneered and said, "The Shi family is naturally not afraid of Liu Bei, but it is Liu Xiu who is happy. In the end, the strength of the Shi family and Liu Bei was weakened, and Liu Xiu's attack on Guangxin County was even more effortless. Not only weakened Liu Bei, but also weakened the Shi family. ”

Shi Yi's eyes widened and said, "Big brother, is it so complicated?"

Shi Xie said: "The old man suspects that Liu Xiu has this thought. ”

Shi Yi asked, "Then what do we do now?"

Shi Xie took a deep breath, he stroked his white beard under his chin, and said, "If Liu Bei really sends someone to invite, the old man must go." ”

"Big brother can't!"

Shi Yi said: "After you go, then you will really enter the tiger's 'den'." ”

Shi Xie said: "Liu Bei doesn't dare to take the old man." ”

"Report!"

Suddenly, outside the study, I remembered the voice of the housekeeper: "Master, Uncle Liu Huang sent someone to invite you to go." ”

Shi Xie instructed: "Tell the person who comes, and the old man will go later." ”

"No!"

The steward received the order, turned around and withdrew.

Shi Xie's wrinkled face had a solemn look, and he said, "Second brother, now is the time for my Shi family's life and death. In this battle, the old man didn't want the Shi family to receive losses. So, don't act rashly. Everything, waiting for my news. Even if I go to the state office today and don't come back, I can't do anything. ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Shi Yi nodded solemnly.

Shi Xie got up and left the study, left the study, and then rode the carriage to the governor's mansion.

After arriving, Shi Xie went straight to the house.

As soon as he entered, a 'waiter' came up to guide him and led Shixie to the study. Entering the study, Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "Xia Guan Shi Xie, meet your lord." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Wei Yangong, please take a seat!"

Shi Xie said: "Thank you Uncle Huang!"

Zhuge Liang took over and said, "Duke Wei Yan, the lord invited you to come to discuss the matter of resisting Liu Xiu. Chen Zhi's army was defeated and returned, and the army suffered heavy losses. Now, the troops under the command of the lord are insufficient, and it is already difficult to resist Liu Xiu. Therefore, the lord wanted to consult Wei Yan Gong and hoped to get Wei Yan Gong's help. ”

Shi Xie's face was serious, and he said: "The old man is an official under the command of the emperor's uncle, and he should serve the emperor's uncle. ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Okay, with Wei Yangong's words, the official will be relieved." ”

Shi Xie thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, when is Liu Xiu expected to arrive in Guangxin County?"

Liu Bei replied, "It may arrive tomorrow." ”

Shi Xie said: "In this way, Uncle Huang has to increase his defense. Although the Shi family has little strength, they are willing to contribute their hearts. The Shi family was willing to provide 1,000 'private' soldiers to help the imperial uncle resist Liu Xiu. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei nodded, even more appreciative.

Although Shi Xie is old, he is still knowledgeable.

Suddenly, Shi Xie said: "Uncle Huang, the old man has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Liu Bei said: "Duke Wei Yan, please speak!"

Shi Xie replied: "Once Liu Xiu's troops come to the city, he can completely surround Guangxin County. If Uncle Huang wants to defend to the death, will there be enough food and equipment? Liu Xiu has Jingzhou on his back, and Jingzhou as his backing, he has a continuous source of energy to provide food and soldiers. What does Uncle Huang have? Even if the Shi family supports it with all their might, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for a long time. ”

Liu Bei heard Shi Xie's voice and said, "What does Wei Yangong mean?"

Shi Xie said: "Uncle Huang still has to make plans in advance and prepare to withdraw. Otherwise, once you are trapped to death, when the time comes, the troops are exhausted, and you cannot evacuate, the situation will be difficult. It is difficult to sing alone, and once the imperial uncle is trapped to death, it will be quite difficult. ”

Liu Bei said: "Wei Yangong's reminder, the official has written it down." ”

Shi Xie nodded, and stopped talking.

This time he came to the governor's mansion, and he was ready to be left behind.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Wei Yangong, go back and rest, and prepare for war tomorrow." ”

"Ahh

Shi Xie glanced at Liu Bei in surprise, it seemed to be incredible.

Immediately, Shi Xie said: "Uncle Huang, the old man has lost his temper. ”

Liu Bei chuckled twice and said, "Wei Yangong must think that this official wants to take Wei Yangong as a hostage, Wei Yangong is too worried, and this official has no such idea." Not now, not in the future. ”

Shi Xie was speechless, just bowed.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "It's late at night, Duke Wei Yan, please go back." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Xie stood up and saluted, then turned and left.

In the study, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang remained.

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Lord, I don't think Shixie should be allowed to go back." Let Shi Xie go back this time, and the situation may get out of control tomorrow. ”

Liu Beizheng said: "Kong Ming, I understand what you mean. But let me detain Shixie, I can't do it. ”

"Alas!"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand frequently, looking a little lost.

At this critical time, letting Shixie go back will produce a lot of variables.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Military Division, what do you think of the retreat mentioned by Shi Xie?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "Shixie's statement is not wrong, this matter really needs to be considered in advance. Otherwise, once Guangxin County can't hold it, the lord can only trap Guangxin County. ”

Liu Bei said: "Let's see after the 'engagement' tomorrow, if we can't defend it, we will retreat." ”

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang surrendered, and then went down too.

Outside the governor's mansion, Shi Xie boarded the carriage and sat in the carriage, his old face had a look of disdain, and he muttered: "Liu Bei seems to be benevolent, but he is the benevolence of a 'woman'. In this battle, Liu Xiu will undoubtedly win. It seems that the second brother and Liu Xiu have a relationship, which is also a good choice. ”

For Liu Bei to let him go home, Shixie was really overjoyed.

The surprise at that time was that he did it on purpose, making Liu Bei believe that he had already guessed the idea of being detained.

If Shi Xie stayed in the state pastor's mansion, the Shi family would naturally have to be coerced by Liu Bei.

But now that Shi Xie has returned to Shi's house, he is a dragon entering the sea and is no longer under Liu Bei's control. Even Liu Bei still needed the 'private' soldiers of the Shi family to resist Liu Xiu, which gave the Shi family the opportunity to 'operate'.

"Liu Bei, let the old man come and cut the last life-saving straw for you. ”

Shi Xie stroked his beard under his chin, and a smile crossed his face.
