The next morning, when Liu Xiu woke up, there was no one to disturb him.

In her arms, the beautiful woman snuggled.

A little sunlight shines through the window into the room, adding a touch of charm to the room. He rubbed Huang Yueying's satin-like skin, and his heart was full of emotion.

Finally, he got married

Finally, there are relatives in the true sense of the word.

The woman in his arms is the one who will accompany him through his life.

Huang Yueying groaned faintly, and then woke up. When she saw Liu Xiu, her face turned red with shame, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Liu Xiu's eyes.

Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "Little Nizi, it's time to get up, I have to go back to Lumen Mountain today." ”

"Someone Coming"

Liu Xiu shouted, and the people who were already waiting outside the gate of the mansion quickly walked in. After washing, changing clothes again, and having breakfast, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, under the protection of the soldiers, took a carriage to Lumen Mountain.

When I arrived at Huang's house in Lumen Mountain, there was a lively scene again.

The bride's return to the door is naturally extremely grand.

Liu Xiu instructed the accompanying soldiers to move the prepared gifts into the Huang family one by one. Then, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying gave tea to Huang Chengyan and his wife.

After the tea, Huang Yueying left with Cai, and Liu Xiu followed Huang Chengyan to the study.

In the study, the two of them sat down.

Huang Chengyan's eyes were concerned, and he smiled and said, "Xiu'er, we are now a family." Since then, you and Yue Ying have shared glory and disgrace. Yueying's temperament is too indifferent, so I hope you take care of her more. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Don't worry, I will take care of Yueying for the rest of my life, and I won't let her be wronged." ”

Huang Chengyan nodded, and then stopped mentioning Huang Yueying's matter.

After a change of words, Huang Chengyan said: "According to the arrangement, tomorrow you will have to review the soldiers, what are you going to do?"

Liu Xiu replied: "I have set aside an open space in the western suburbs outside the city for reviewing the soldiers. When the time comes, I will invite all the envoys who came to Xiangyang to attend. ”

Huang Chengyan said: "It must be arranged thoroughly, and there must be no omissions. ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." ”

Immediately, Huang Chengyan said again: "Now that you have stabilized Jingzhou, what are your plans next, do you want to start using troops against Jiangdong?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, no troops for the time being, it's not time yet." ”

Huang Chengyan said: "What do you think?"

Liu Xiu said: "I have just taken charge of Jingzhou, and although all the counties have been annexed, my foundation is still unstable. Therefore, in the next half a year, I will start to adjust some officials and control the counties in Jingzhou. At the same time, strengthen control over the army. This consideration is my next governing thinking. ”

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan showed a smile on his face and praised: "You do things to make people feel at ease." When the old man discussed with Pang Gong yesterday, he was still worried that you were young and vigorous, and you were in a hurry, so you would immediately lead the army to attack Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, you have already thought about it. You are so calm, and the old man is completely relieved. Jingzhou is your foundation in a short period of time, and you can't make a mistake. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

After the two fathers and sons discussed the issue of Jingzhou, they went out of the study together.

At noon, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying had lunch at the mansion and returned to the state pastor in the afternoon. Back in the mansion, Huang Yueying went back to the backyard, and Liu Xiu had already started to get busy and began to prepare for tomorrow's parade of soldiers.

Post station, Zhang Zhao's residence.

This time on the mission, Zhang Zhao also wanted to see the strength of Jingzhou. However, in addition, it is more also to take this opportunity to contact the envoys of other princes and communicate with each other.

Zhang Zhao left his room and went to Cheng Yu's residence. When he arrived at the door, the attendant saw that it was Zhang Zhao, waved his hand and said, "Cheng Gong said that Zhang Gong is here, please enter directly, Cheng Gong has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Thank you"

Zhang Zhao thanked him and went straight in.

In the room, two guests and hosts are seated.

Zhang Zhao saw Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Zhong Degong seems to have known that the old man is coming."

Cheng Yu smiled and replied, "I believe that Mr. Zibu will not miss this opportunity." When he speaks, he has a strong confidence and self-confidence, which comes from Cao Cao's strength.

Zhang Zhaozheng said: "This time I came to meet Zhongde Gong because my lord Sun Quan has admired Sikong for a long time. The last time, when I met General Cao Ren, I mentioned it to General Cao Ren. Jiangdong is willing to respect Sikong as the master, but there has been no news back. So, now let's ask. ”

Cheng Yu stroked the beard under his chin and said: "Mr. Zibu, Sun Taishou is willing to respect the court and Sikong, and Sikong is naturally happy." It's just empty words, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected goals. ”

Zhang Zhao asked, "What does Zhong Degong think should be done?"

Cheng Yu's eyes were confident, and he said loudly: "Actually, it's very simple, I heard that Sun Taishou has a lot of brothers, so it's better to send a close relative to Xu County." In this way, Sikong naturally believes in Sun Taishou's sincerity, and Sun Taishou thinks how "

Zhang Zhao's eyes narrowed.

Once, when Sun Quan just inherited Jiangdong, it happened that Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was so high-spirited that he once ordered Sun Quan to send hostages, otherwise he would attack Jiangdong. At that time, because Zhou Yu opposed it, he did not send the hostages in the end, and Sun Quan successfully survived the most difficult period.

Now that Jiangdong has encountered difficulties and encountered such problems, Zhang Zhao is also undecided.

After all, Jingzhou is like a sharp sword, which people dare not ignore.

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Zibu, Liu Xiu is young and vigorous, and he intends to expand his territory. He is in charge of Jingzhou, but he is not gentler than Liu Biao. Now Jiangdong will face the attack of Jingzhou. Mr. Zibu, you have to think about it. If Sun Quan can't resist, then all opportunities will be lost. ”

Zhang Zhao quickly regained his composure and said slowly: "At this point, the old man will tell my lord and ask him to decide." Therefore, I can't give Zhong Degong a reply for the time being. ”

Cheng Yu said: "This is the best"

Zhang Zhao changed his words and asked: "Cheng Gong, Liu Xiu inspects the soldiers, what does Cheng Gong think?"

Cheng Yu smiled: "What can you think, it's just that Liu Xiu wants to show off his strength, let's just follow it, why think too much If Liu Xiu is bluffing, it will be interesting." ”

After half-truths, Zhang Zhao nodded and did not talk further.

ran into a wall here with Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao turned around and left, and went to visit other people. This time to congratulate Liu Xiu, he also has to run for Jiangdong, contact all parties, and have no time to play and rest.

Next, Zhang Zhao went to visit Zhuge Liang again.

Zhang Zhao originally had the intention of forming an alliance, wanting Liu Bei and Liu Xiu to start a dispute, and then let the Jiangdong fishermen benefit. However, Zhuge Liang instead hoped that Jiangdong would give him food and equipment support, and even more hoped that Jiangdong could attack Liu Xiu head-on and create a respite for Liu Bei.

This result almost made Zhang Zhao suffocate his internal injuries.

There is no desire to talk about it at all

After Zhang Zhao talked with Zhuge Liang, he felt that the idea of wooing Liu Bei was not appropriate, so he left directly and went to visit Liu Zhang's envoys Fa Zheng and Zhang Ren.

It's just that in the face of Fazheng, no breakthrough has been made.

After walking around, Zhang Zhao was already exhausted.

However, there is no gain.

Zhang Zhao supported his tired body and returned to the room where he lived, sighing lightly in his heart. What I thought in my heart was to defend Jiangdong, and I had to rely on myself
