Chapter 100: Confrontation at the Banquet
When he returned to the governor's mansion, he immediately had a feast.
Liu Biao first thanked Pang Degong for his envoy to Xu County, and then asked about what happened in Xu County. Although the news came back, it was not as true as Pang Degong's personal account.
Pang Degong smiled and carefully recounted what he had seen and heard in Xu County.
In particular, Liu Xiuwen fought the civil officials under Cao Cao's command, and when he talked about the scene where Liu Xiu fought everyone alone, Pang Degong's spirit was bright; he also talked about Liu Xiu's excellent archery skills, and he was also mentally excited when he overwhelmed Cao Zhanghe Dianman; and for the Son of Heaven to garrison, Liu Xiu presented the Tai'a sword and was appointed as the Taishou of Yuzhang County.
The civil and military ministers in the hall applauded.
As an accompanying general, Wen Ping did not say a word. The attack on Zhang Hong and Zhou Tai was hidden in Wen Ping's heart and not announced. Even the four soldiers who returned with Liu Xiu were directly assigned to Liu Xiu as Liu Xiu's personal guards.
In Wenpin's view, this incident should have never happened.
Jingzhou Wenwu only knew what happened in Xu County.
After Pang Degong finished speaking, Liu Biao's expression was even more pleased.
At this time, he looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, I have matured a lot when I went to Xu County." The behavior in Xuchang is also quite good. ”
Liu Xiu got up and arched his hand: "Back to my father, in Xu County, there is a teacher to preside over the overall situation, and General Wen to escort him, in comparison, my son is much more willful." ”
Liu Biao laughed and waved his hand to signal Liu Xiu to sit down.
At this time, Cai Mao suddenly spoke.
Cai Mao stared at Liu Xiu and asked, "It is indeed good for Gongzi Xiu to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven and offer the Tai'a Sword." It's just that why didn't Master Xiu offer the Tai'a Sword in the name of the lord, in the name of his own person?"
In Liu Biao's eyes, a cold light flashed.
He clenched the wine bottle in his hand, turned his gaze, and stared at Liu Xiu with a smile.
That look made Liu Xiu feel a trace of coldness in his heart.
The corners of Pang Degong's mouth pursed into a smile, and he looked at Cai Mao, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.
This issue has been discussed for a long time.
Cai Mao is proposing it now, and she got into Liu Xiu's sleeve by herself.
Liu Xiu smiled, looked at Cai Mao, and explained neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The military advisor asked me to offer the Tai'a Sword in the name of my father, is it to trap my father in a situation of disloyalty?"
Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cai Mao again.
Cai Mao said: "I don't understand what Gongzi Xiu said. Why do you say that you are unfaithful?"
Liu Xiu replied: "The Tai'a Sword was obtained by accident after I arrived in Xu County. It is my personal act to offer the Tai'a Sword in my name. I am soft-spoken, and if I offer the Tai'a Sword, no one will investigate the ins and outs of the Tai'a Sword. ”
"However, offering the Tai'a Sword in the name of his father, the court officials, or Cao Cao will think that his father had it before, because this is a birthday gift for the Son of Heaven, and Jingzhou must have had it a long time ago, but only now it has been taken out. ”
"Even if I say I stumbled upon it, who would believe it?"
"The first emperor's sword, Tai'a Sword, is the sword of the Great Qin Emperor, but this sword, in a sense, can be described as an important weapon of the country and has a certain symbolic meaning. ”
"It's not the Sword of the Son of Heaven, but it's better than the Sword of the Son of Heaven. ”
Liu Xiu talked eloquently, and said: "Owning the sword of the Son of Heaven, but not offering the Son of Heaven, is it not disloyalty, what is it? My father is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and everyone knows it. When the news of the private possession of the Tai'a Sword came out, some people must have said that his father was secretly selfish and had other intentions. ”
When the time comes, my father will be like a thief, and everyone will shout and beat him. ”
Liu Xiu said: "My father was clear and clear, how could I affect my father's prestige because of me. Cai Junshi, if you offer the Tai'a Sword in your father's name, will it affect your father's reputation?"
Cai Mao wanted to deny it in her heart, but when she saw Liu Biao's satisfied expression, she sighed lightly in her heart.
Liu Xiu's untenable reason moved Liu Biao.
Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "Master Xiu is reasonable, but he is thinking too much. ”
Pang Degong took over the words, and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, after the Son of Heaven got the Tai'a Sword, he served as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, and this matter needs to be arranged by Lord Zhou Mu. ”
After Liu Biao heard this, he fell silent.
Under the rule of Sun Quan, Yuzhang County appointed Liu Xiu as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, and the righteousness was achieved.
It's just that it doesn't have the strength to be stationed.
Cai Mao smiled and said, "The Son of Heaven appointed Gongzi Xiu as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, and I think that you can give it a try." If Gongzi Xiu goes to Yuzhang County and the other party is willing to hand over the rights, it will be the best. ”
In Cai Mao's heart, he wished that Liu Xiu would die in Yuzhang County to avoid fighting with Liu Cong again.
"My lord!"
At this time, Kuai Yue opened his mouth to block.
Liu Biao asked, "Why did Xenodegree say it couldn't?"
Kuai Yue explained: "The current Yuzhang County is still in the hands of Jiangdong Sun Quan. If Gongzi Xiu goes, he will definitely not be able to get any benefits, and he may be blasted out. ”
"The identity of the prince of Xiu, Yuzhang County, is a great righteousness and cannot be used lightly. At the very least, he must be able to take Yuzhang County in one fell swoop, and then let Xiu Gongzi enter Yuzhang County with confidence. ”
Kuai Yue said: "Once you enter rashly, when you touch the ashes of your nose, you will not be able to get benefits, which will also have a certain impact on the reputation of the lord." ”
Liu Biao bowed slightly, nodded in response, and also agreed with Kuai Yue's analysis.
Liu Xiu said: "Father, son has an idea. ”
"Say!"
Liu Biao nodded, a smile on his face.
Liu Xiu said respectfully: "This time I was appointed as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, and my son thinks that it is an opportunity to seize Yuzhang County. On the one hand, the county is close to Yuzhang County and close to Yuzhang County, so it can be laid out and planned; on the other hand, the son hopes to experience some training. ”
Liu Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Do you really want to seek Yuzhang County?"
"Yes!" Liu Xiu nodded and replied.
Pang Degong glanced at Liu Xiu and opened his mouth to stop: "Lord Zhou Mu, the old man thinks that it is inappropriate for Xiu'er to be released as an official. ”
"Why?" asked Liu Biao.
Pang Degong said: "On the one hand, Xiu'er is still young and has not yet been crowned, on the other hand, Xiu'er has no experience in the ruling party after all, so it is inappropriate to rashly serve as a county magistrate. ”
This scene shocked everyone.
These two masters and apprentices, why did they start to have infighting.
Could it be that Liu Xiu didn't inform Pang Degong in advance, so Pang Degong opened his mouth to stop it?
Kuai Yue's eyes narrowed, and there was a contemplative look in his eyes.
Cai Mao glanced at Liu Xiu, then at Pang Degong, and sneered in his heart, but he was just singing a double reed. However, no matter what the purpose of Pang Degong and Liu Xiu was, Cai Mao had to stop Pang Degong and let Liu Xiu go out.
As long as Liu Xiu leaves Xiangyang, Liu Cong has more opportunities. Moreover, the situation on the ruling side is different, and the forces below are intertwined, and it is not easy for Liu Xiu to gain a foothold.
After Liu Xiu goes down, it will not be easy to come back.
Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "My lord, I think it is feasible for Gongzi Xiu to serve as the county commander. Xiu Gongzi is young, and if he goes through some training, his ability can also be improved. If Gongzi Xiu wants to seize Yuzhang County, he can let Gongzi Xiu give it a try. If it succeeds, it is naturally the best, and even if it is not successful, it will not hurt. ”
Kuai Yue opened his mouth and agreed: "My lord, I think that Cai Junshi's suggestion is reasonable. Xiu Gongzi was willing to give it a try, so let him give it a try. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xiu intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu understood in his heart.
Kuai Yue opened his mouth to speak, helping him to release and see through his thoughts.
Liu Biao saw that the two important ministers around him both suggested that Liu Xiu be released, but Liu Biao no longer insisted, and said: "Pang Gong, you love your disciple's feelings, the old man understands." But Xiu'er always has to go out, let him go. ”
Pang Degong was silent for a moment and said, "Lord Governor, Xiu'er wants to serve as the county commander of Youxian County, and the old man has only one request. ”
"What request?" asked Liu Biao.
Pang Degong said: "It is only the position of the county commander, and it is very difficult to seek Yuzhang County. It is better to give Xiu'er another official position as the governor of Changsha County, so that he can quickly gain a foothold in Youxian County, and then lay out and seize Yuzhang County. ”
Cai Mao said: "The lord can't, the post of postal supervisor is very important." ”
When it comes to the post of postal superintendent, Cai Mao must stop it.
Liu Xiu's power is too great, and it is even more difficult to deal with, and the people below will also be restrained.
Kuai Yue objected: "My lord, it is reasonable to want Gongzi Xiu to seek to seize Yuzhang County and concurrently serve as the post of Governor of Changsha County. Since he wants to let Xiu Gongzi give it a try, he thinks that he can just let it go. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Father, my son really wants to give it a try. If it succeeds, Jingzhou will add another county, and when the time comes, in the face of Cao thief, the foundation will increase by another point. ”
After Liu Biao heard this, he also had an idea in his heart.
One more county, naturally different.
Liu Biao nodded, he looked at Yi nationality, and ordered: "Uncle Ji, you draw up an edict and appoint Xiu'er as the governor of Changsha County and the county commander of Yu County." ”
"No!"
Yi nodded, and looked at Liu Xiu with a different look.
Liu Xiu has military power in his hands, although he is a concubine, but the pattern is no longer the same
