At this time, Shi Xie and Shi Yi were quite nervous.

Shi Xie has lived for most of his life, and half of his body has been buried in the ground, so he is still a little nervous at this time. It's not because I'm nervous about what official position I'm going to hold, it's because I'm nervous about the position of the scholar.

What arrangements Liu Xiu made determined the next situation of the Shi family.

In Shi Yi's heart, he was looking forward to it, after he lost to Liu Xiu before, he had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. He also dealt with a lot of this battle, and it stands to reason that Liu Xiu would not be able to treat him badly.

After a while, Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Shi Xie's body and asked, "Shi Xie, this official has given you three months, can you pacify the 'Jiao' Prefecture?"

There was a hint of surprise in Shi Xie's eyes.

There was even a hint of surprise.

Liu Xiu asked him about the time to settle the 'Jiao' state, but in fact, he handed him the 'Jiao' state to deal with.

Shi Xie stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the lord, within three months, the 'Jiao' state will be pacified." ”

This matter is not possible for anyone, only the head snake Shixie of the 'Jiao' state has this energy and prestige. This is not a question of the number of troops, but their own prestige and connections, and Shijia and Shixie have this energy in the 'Jiao' state.

Liu Xiu said with satisfaction: "That being the case, this official will be the Son of Heaven and recommend you as the 'Jiao' State Assassin." From today on, you will be the assassin of the 'Jiao' state, and you will be in charge of the 'Jiao' state affairs. ”

"No!"

Shi Xie bowed his hand, and there was a smile on his face.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Shi Yi and said, "Shi Yi, there is still an official position missing from this official's side, so you just stay by this official's side, how about it?"

Shi Yi said bitterly: "I am willing to do my job!"

I thought that I would get benefits, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother stayed in 'Jiao' Prefecture, and he was actually left by Liu Xiu's side as a hostage. As a result, the gap is too great.

Shi Yi's expression, Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

The Shi family is obedient, it is impossible to just let Shi Xie take charge of the 'Jiao' state, and he must let people stay by his side.

Shi Xie's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The second brother can stay by the lord's side, which is also his creation, thank you for the lord's cultivation." Regarding Liu Xiu's arrangement, Shi Xie was not surprised. On the contrary, Shi Xie believes that this is the quality of a mature ruler. If Liu Xiu couldn't even think of this means, then Shi Xie's guard of 'Jiao' Prefecture would probably not be stable.

Liu Xiu continued: "Wei Yangong, since the 'Jiao' Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of this official. Then, we have to follow Jingzhou's system. ”

Shi Xie said: "Please make it public!"

Liu Xiu said slowly: "Under the command of this official, the military and the government are separated. If Wei Yangong is in power, then he doesn't care about military power. When it comes to military matters, Wei Yangong is not allowed to 'interfere' without authorization. At the same time, no one else can interfere with you in government affairs. ”

Rules are rules, and Liu Xiu must make it clear.

Otherwise, when it comes to arranging someone to take over the military power, Shi Xie is afraid that there will be a pimple in his heart.

Shi Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "How does the lord arrange it?"

Liu Xiu replied: "This official will dispatch Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Army, into the 'Jiao' Prefecture, and Huang Zhong will be stationed in the 'Jiao' Prefecture. The matter of pacifying the 'handover' of the state will be completed by your 'fine' and sincere cooperation. ”

Shi Xie had no expression on his face, and said, "The Humble Rank Association will assist General Huang to complete the pacification of the 'Jiao' Prefecture. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiu's face also had a smile.

Liu Xiu said: "In this case, the official will not live in the government, and after Wei Yangong takes office, he will handle government affairs as soon as possible, and let the officials of the 'Jiao' state operate." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Xie bowed his hand.

Liu Xiu said: "Shi Yi, after a few days of rest, this official will lead the army back to Jingzhou, and you and Wei Yangong will communicate more." ”

"No!"

Shi Yi should go down and watch Liu Xiu and his party leave.

In the palace, soon only Shixie and Shiyi remained.

At this time, Shi Yi's face 'revealed' a dissatisfied expression, and said, "Big brother, what should I do now?" Liu Xiu directly took me to Jingzhou, obviously to grasp it as a hostage. In addition, Liu Xiu also dispatched Huang Zhong to 'handover' the state, which is obviously to restrain you. ”

Shi Xie looked very calm and said, "Second brother thinks that Liu Xiu has broken Guangxin County with the help of us, how should we be rewarded?

When Shi Yi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Liu Bei didn't let the Shi family get too much power, and Liu Xiu couldn't either.

Shi Xie continued: "On the contrary, the old man thinks that Liu Xiu's approach is quite mature. You went to Liu Xiu's side, and Huang Zhong led the army to stay in 'Jiao' Zhou. As long as Huang Zhong has a firm foothold in the 'Jiao' state, Liu Xiu will not worry about the situation in the 'Jiao' state getting out of control. Liu Xiu's methods are quite clever. ”

Shi Yi was very unhappy and said, "However, I became a hostage." ”

Under the pressure given to him by Shi Xie, Shi Yi didn't say a word, Shi Xie became a 'Jiao' state assassin, and he had the authority in his hands, but he didn't get anything, but the bamboo basket was empty.

Shi Xie stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Second brother, what kind of position you yourself are is all up to you. ”

"If you take you as a hostage, then you are just a hostage by Liu Xiu's side, tied up. Whatever you do, you will feel that others are pressing you and you will feel wronged. ”

"If you regard yourself as someone next to Liu Xiu, then you are the person next to Liu Xiu. You are by Liu Xiu's side and show your talents, but it is the first to get the moon near the water, and you will get Liu Xiu's weight. ”

Shi Xiezheng said: "The old man has seen so many people in his life, and this is the first time he has seen a young but mature person like Liu Xiu. He is more courageous than Sun Quan, and he is younger than Cao Cao. The most important thing is that Liu Xiu is not a son-in-law, but a person who has experienced wars. Follow him, it must be from the path of the dragon. Do you know what the path of the dragon is?"

"Shhh

Shi Yi's face suddenly had a shocked look.

Shi Yi stammered, "Big brother, do you mean that Liu Xiu has that meaning?"

Shi Xie said: "Liu Xiu is a member of the royal family, isn't it normal to have this thought? Besides, Liu Xiu is also a prince of the world. Today, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu, Zhang Lu and others, which princes do not have their own 'selfish' intentions. ”

After Shi Yi heard this, his heart suddenly became hot.

With the scholar family as his backing, he is definitely confident enough under Liu Xiu.

Shi Yi had a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, my brother will definitely do his best to gain a firm foothold under Liu Xiu." ”

The wrinkles on Shi Xie's face stretched out, and he smiled: "You finally figured it out, the eldest brother is in charge of the 'Jiao' state, and he has the right to speak locally, and he is your backing." However, you are by Liu Xiu's side, and you are the representative of the Shi family. Your words and deeds represent the Shi family, understand?"

"Brother understood!"

Shi Yi's heart suddenly became happy, thinking that once Liu Xiu ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he would inevitably turn over.

Shi Xie said: "Now that you have figured it out, don't think about it anymore. You go home, take your wife and children with you, and go to Jingzhou with Liu Xiu. After you go to Jingzhou, try to win some people. ”

"Understood!"

Shi Yi nodded, turned around and retreated.

Shi Xie looked at Shi Yi's departing back, he was sitting in the state pastor's mansion, and suddenly laughed and muttered: "Can the old man see the day when Liu Xiu ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan?"

"Someone!"

Shi Xie ordered.

An 'attendant' walked in and bowed.

Shi Xie instructed: "Summon, order the 'Jiao' state officials in Guangxin County and the officials of Cangwu County to discuss the matter. ”

"No!"

The 'squire' received the order, turned around and retreated.

......

Liu Xiu left the state pastoral mansion and went directly to the barracks.

Back at the camp, Liu Xiu directly sent someone to bring Chen Zhi to the big tent.

This person is what Liu Xiu wants to subdue.

Chen Zhi was standing in the tent with his hands tied, he looked up at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, I am loyal to the lord, and it is impossible to submit to me." So, you don't have to work in vain. Kill me directly, or more simply. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhi is really naughty. ”

Mischievous?

Naughty you sister!

Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and he roared in his heart: "Where did you see me being naughty." ”

Chen Zhi stood with his head held high, and said in a deep voice: "No need to laugh, it is impossible for me to submit to you." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Don't worry, let's talk about this matter slowly." Alas, these soldiers really don't understand the rules, so they actually tied Shu Zhi's hands, and I came to untie the rope for Shu Zhi. ”

got up and walked in front of Chen Zhi, and Liu Xiu directly untied the rope.

As soon as Chen Dao's hand was sent, his right hand clenched his fist, and a punch was smashed out, bombarding Liu Xiu's 'chest'.

"Bang!"

The dull sound made Liu Xiu take two steps back.

Chen Zhi's left hand was another fist, and a punch was blasted out again.

"Bang!"

Another punch hit Liu Xiu's left shoulder.

Liu Xiu's face was 'pale', and he took two steps back, but there was no sound, and even his expression did not change. Liu Xiu stared at Chen Zhi and said, "No weapons, you are not my opponent." Uncle Zhi, two punches in a row, can you vent enough?"

Brush!

Chen Zhi's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to deliberately not resist.
