Su Rong really didn't know what to do with Liu Xiu?

In terms of official position, Liu Xiu is the governor of Changsha County, and his official position is greater than him, and he supervises the counties.

In terms of background, Liu Xiu is the son of Liu Biao and has a strong background.

In terms of ability, Liu Xiu is both civil and military, and even Cao Cao does not hesitate to praise him, and he can't compare.

He Su Rong is a scholarly scholar, with no background, no backers, and only by virtue of his own ability can he achieve the county order of a county. He wanted to be reasonable, but Liu Xiu was quite unreasonable, leaving Su Rong speechless.

Liu Xiu stared at Su Rong with sharp eyes.

In the face of Liu Xiu's aggressive momentum, Su Rong's eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to face Liu Xiu's eyes.

It was as if his inner thoughts were to be seen through.

The young man in front of him, with his demeanor, was already imposing, far beyond Su Rong.

Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot, and asked again: "Su County Order, you sent someone into Youxian to make trouble." I have to give an explanation for this, what is the reason for this? Could you please explain it clearly? ”

Su Rong shook his head and said, "Xiaguan has already explained clearly just now, they went to Youxian County simply to make some money, and they had no intention of disturbing Youxian. It's just that they themselves didn't expect today's consequences. ”

"Good, good, good, good backbone. ”

Liu Xiulian said three good words, and he no longer had hope for Su Rong.

Until now, Su Rong is still unrepentant. Su Rong's impression of Liu Xiu was that he hid the truth of the facts. As a result, Liu Xiu suspected that Su Rong had received Cai Mao's benefits.

"Yuan Ye, continue to practice. ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and did not pay attention to Su Rong again.

Yuan Ye grinned and ordered, "Ready!"

One by one, the catapults began to load the stones again, and fifteen catapults were quickly reloaded, and then began to fire. The rocks flew sideways and went straight to the camp of the army in Chaling County.

"Boom! boom!"

The ground shook one after another.

Su Rong looked back at the scene at the gate of the camp, his face was pale, and his fists were clenched.

Liu Xiu turned around and saw that Su Rong was still standing on the border line, and said: "Su County Order, the stone throwing drill may inadvertently enter your camp, so let your soldiers be careful, after being hit, it will be either dead or disabled." Also, now it's a dashi, and next, it may be replaced with a fire cup, so you have to be careful. ”

With a flick of his sleeves, Liu Xiu went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Alas......"

Su Rong sighed lightly, his heart full of remorse.

This time, I really stabbed the hornet's nest and found my own guilt. He wanted to catch up and go to Liu Xiu to make it clear, but in the end he turned around and returned to the camp. Su Rong sat cross-legged with a sad face, and couldn't think of a solution.

The county lieutenant walked in and said worriedly: "County Zun, Liu Xiu's soldiers are still throwing stones. Dozens of stones fell at the gate of the camp, and now the gate of the camp is already a mess of potholes. The morale of the soldiers was even more devastated. In the long run, Chaling County can no longer raise its head in front of Youxian County. ”

Su Rong glanced up at the county lieutenant, then lowered his head and did not speak.

The county lieutenant continued: "If it continues, the impact on Chaling County will be even greater. When the time comes, everyone will say that Chaling County is incompetent. Since you don't plan to give in, just lead your troops to kill it, even if you lose, it will be glorious. The nest is hiding in the tent, too aggrieved. ”

As the county lieutenant of Chaling County, the army soldiers hid in the camp, and the county lieutenant was also very depressed.

Su Rong asked, "Can you win?"

The county lieutenant shook his head and said, "You can't win, but you can't be so aggrieved." ”

Su Rong said again: "If you fight, you will die." ”

The county lieutenant said: "Since it is a war, how can there be a reason for immortals." ”

When Su Rong heard this, he fell silent.

A soldier's life is also his life. He caused all this. He was dedicated to Chaling County, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.

Su Rong clenched his fists and immediately released them again.

"Whew!"

Su Rong let out a sigh and said, "This official went to see Liu Xiu and made it clear to him." ”

The county lieutenant was surprised, in the eyes of the county lieutenant, Su Rong was stubborn about saving face and had the stubbornness of a scholar. But it is undeniable that Su Rong loves the people like a son, has no official pretensions, and is very easy to speak.

With Su Rong's personality, it is not easy to bow his head.

The county lieutenant sighed in his heart and said, "County Zun, in fact, it's not a big deal, we can withdraw our troops." If you retreat, you can avoid Liu Xiu's edge. ”

Su Rong said: "Didn't you listen to Liu Xiu, even if we retreat, he will lead the army into the territory of Chaling County." He is the postal governor of Changsha County, and it is normal for him to train soldiers. ”

The county lieutenant said: "County order, the lower official will go with you." ”

Su Rong waved his hand and said, "What are you going to do with me? It's just a person who is humiliated, so why bother pulling you again." You wait in the camp, I'll go see Liu Xiu. I will solve the bitter fruit of my brewing. ”

The county lieutenant opened his mouth and finally sighed softly.

Su Rong got up and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the catapult stopped temporarily, and it was rare to have a moment of silence.

When Su Rong entered the territory of Youxian County, Deng Zhan greeted him directly.

Su Rong faced Deng Zhan, his eyes were calm, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The old man wants to see Liu Duyou!"

Deng Zhan said: "Come with me!" took Su Rong to the outside of the Chinese army's big tent, Deng Zhan said: "You wait, I will report the news to the lord." After Deng Zhan entered the tent, he quickly walked out and said, "Please!"

Su Rong nodded and entered the tent.

Liu Xiu saw Su Rong and asked in a cold voice, "Su County Commander came to see this official, do you have anything to say?"

Su Rong Zhengse said: "This time, I came to ask Liu Duyou to withdraw his troops." ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "The Su County Order is the county order of Chaling County, and it has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Youxian County. Besides, could it be that the Su County Order wants to interfere with the official's decision?"

Su Rong clasped his hands together and arched his hands: "Liu Duyou, everything is caused by the lower officials, there is no need to affect Chaling County, the lower officials are willing to admit their mistakes and apologize, please withdraw your troops." ”

Liu Xiu smiled, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Su Rong knew that Liu Xiu was waiting for him to explain, and Su Rong knew that the reason for making money didn't make sense. At this point, he could no longer hide it.

Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "The turbulence in the price of land in Youxian County was ordered by the lower officials. ”

"Why!"

Liu Xiuxin said that Su Rong finally gave in.

The so-called theory of making money is impossible to hold on to Su Rong's body.

Su Rong's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "There are two reasons why the land prices in Youxian County are disturbed. First, the continuous reclamation of farmland in Youxian County has led to the merchants of Chaling County going there one after another. With the transfer of merchants, the business of Chaling County plummeted and was greatly affected. ”

"Second, the farmland in Youxian County has been continuously reclaimed, and no one has cultivated it for the time being, and after the spring of next year, countless people will need to cultivate it. The current situation in Youxian County may not have enough people. In particular, many people in Chaling County have purchased land, and it is likely that the people of Chaling County will go to Youxian County to farm, resulting in the decline of the population of Chaling County. ”

"For two reasons, I sent people to disturb the situation in Youxian. ”

Su Rong continued: "In addition, the lower officials set up checkpoints to prohibit the passage of merchants and ordinary people, and the purpose was also to prevent people from Chaling County from going to Youxian County to buy farmland. ”

After Liu Xiu listened, he commented on the authenticity of Su Rong's words in his heart.

When it comes to the situation in Youxian County, Liu Xiu can't easily expose this matter.

Su Rong's expression was solemn, and he said with a straight face: "This time, it was caused by Xia Guan alone, please Liu Duyou not affect the innocent." If Liu Du is not angry, the next official will return to his hometown. ”

In a word, it reveals endless helplessness and sadness.

Su Rong's starting point was to protect Chaling County, but he didn't expect it to develop to this point. Su Rong can directly complain to Han Xuan, the shou of Changsha County, but Su Rong knows that this time he is at fault, even if his intentions are good, he can only take responsibility
