The tube car experiment was successfully completed, and the people dispersed, praising Liu Xiu one after another.

Since then, Liu Xiu has entered the sight of the people of Jingzhou.

The officials in Jingzhou also began to really examine Liu Xiu and no longer treated Liu Xiu as an ordinary concubine.

Liu Xiu made his first appearance, defeated Sun Ren and regained face for Liu Biao; in his second appearance, he had two lotus poems and an article on Yonglian, which was amazing in talent and was famous in Jingzhou; and in his third appearance, he invented the cylinder car and relieved the current crisis in Jingzhou.

Even if Liu Xiu is a concubine, what he has done has already gained a certain reputation.

Yi was in a hurry to solve the plight of Jingzhou, and left in a hurry with the officials of the craftsman's workshop. Liu Biao took Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Wenpin and other military generals to the Huang family as guests.

In the hall, everyone took their seats.

Liu Xiu's position is still at the back, not at the front.

Liu Biao's gaze swept over everyone, and his heart stirred.

After this incident, the Liu family's position in Jingzhou was more stable, and the people were even more grateful.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, full of praise, and said, "Xiu'er, come forward." ”

"No!"

Liu Xiu got the order and took the initiative to step forward.

Standing in the hall, Liu Xiu stood proudly, facing many officials, Liu Xiu handled it calmly, which made many officials look sideways.

Liu smiled on the surface and said: "Jingzhou has always been rewarded for meritorious service. You are the son of the official, but you do not avoid relatives, and you can't be rewarded for your great achievements. Say, "What reward do you want?" ”

Liu Xiudao: "It's all up to my father!"

Liu Biao bowed slightly, thinking carefully.

Asking Liu Xiu was just for referring to Liu Xiu's opinion, and he didn't really let Liu Xiu decide.

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and shouted, "Liu Xiu listens to the order!"

"In!"

Liu Xiu replied loudly.

Liu Biao said: "You have relieved the drought in Jingzhou, thanks to Jingzhou, and you are grateful to the people." This official has sealed you the post of Captain of the Cavalry. ”

"My lord!"

Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, Cai Mao stood up and objected.

Riding the captain, belonging to Guangluxun, the rank is more than 2,000 stones, and he is in charge of the Yulin ride. This official position required the appointment of the imperial court, and its duty was to be in charge of the palace guards.

Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage, the governors of various places did not listen to orders, and the appointment of officials had already been appointed by themselves.

It is also normal for Liu Biao to appoint a cavalry lieutenant.

However, for Jingzhou, Liu Xiu's appointment as a cavalry lieutenant meant that he had the right to supervise the guards around the state pastor. Of course, Liu Biao's appointment of Liu Xiu as a cavalry lieutenant was to a large extent a symbolic reward, and it was impossible to really hand over the power of supervision to Liu Xiu.

Even so, Cai Mao can't take any chances.

Liu Xiu was only given an honorary official position, but sometimes, an honorary official position would cause huge changes.

Riding Captain is one of them.

Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Strategist, do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Xiu interjected: "Father, my son has something to say. Without waiting for Cai Mao to speak, Liu Xiu also interrupted directly. Cai Mao took the initiative to attack, Liu Xiu naturally would not sit idly by, and would not put the initiative in Cai Mao's hands.

Liu Biao thought for a while and said, "You say!"

Cai Mao glanced at Liu Xiu and didn't interject.

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he would think about how to make Liu Xiu unable to serve as a cavalry captain.

Liu Xiu replied: "Father, my son is unwilling to serve as a cavalry captain. ”

Wow!

The officials in the hall exclaimed.

Everyone thought that Liu Xiu and Cai Mao were going to go head-to-head, but they didn't expect Liu Xiu to take the initiative to resign.

The worry in Pang Degong's eyes disappeared. In fact, this is also the reason why he admires Liu Xiu. can judge the situation and will not be carried away by fame and fortune.

Cai Mao's heart gave birth to a bad premonition.

In the past in Lianxiang Building, Cai Mao saw Liu Xiu's methods. Fighting against Liu Xiu today, Cai Mao felt jealous, as if he was not facing a young man, but an opponent of equal strength.

Liu Biao was surprised and asked, "What is the reason?"

Liu Xiudao: "There are four reasons for my son. ”

"First, the position of Captain of the Cavalry has a heavy responsibility and a heavy responsibility. The father is well-intentioned, but the son is sincerely afraid, especially since the son is not yet an adult, and he does not understand government affairs, and he is reluctant to serve as a cavalry captain, I am afraid that he will live up to his father's painstaking cultivation. ”

"Second, my son has just entered Lumen Mountain to study, and now he is serving as a cavalry captain, so he will definitely be distracted. At that time, the things arranged by my father were not done well, and my studies were not done well. ”

"Thirdly, the design of the barrel car, although I designed it. But it was not only my credit to be able to complete it successfully, but also the help of my teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. Decao, and Miss Yueying. If the son receives merit, it will be unfair to other people. ”

"Fourth, Jingzhou is in drought and has encountered difficulties, which is not the responsibility of my father alone. Jingzhou is in trouble, and everyone is responsible. Everyone has the responsibility to find a way to solve the dilemma, the son designed the tube car, but did what a Jingzhou person should do, and a person should do something, which is not worthy of praise. ”

Liu Xiu bowed his hand and said, "The son pleads, and the father takes back his fate." ”

After Liu Biao heard this, his heart was very touched.

Suddenly, he found that Liu Xiu was very sensible and sensible, and he felt that this son was very good.

Liu Biao sighed with emotion: "My family has a child who has just grown up!"

After a few words, Liu Xiu understood that he had moved Liu Biao and won Liu Biao's favor.

In fact, in Liu Xiu's view, the captain of the cavalry is beautiful on the surface, but it is useless and useless. With Liu Biao's character, it is impossible to hand over the rights of the state minister's personal guard, and Liu Xiu must be an empty shelf.

Rather than so, it is better not to.

Cai Mao stood aside, secretly praising Liu for repairing his methods, and taking a good step to retreat. Liu Xiu seemed to have rejected Liu Biao's arrangement, but judging from Liu Biao's expression, Liu Xiu gained Liu Biao's appreciation and trust, which was immeasurable.

Liu Biao changed his words and asked, "Deqi, what do you want to say?"

Cai Mao smiled awkwardly and replied, "Back to the lord, there is nothing to say about the humble position." At this moment, there is only one thought. ”

"What do you think?" asked Liu Biao.

Cai Mao looked serious and said, "Giving birth to a son should be like a cultivator!"

"Hahaha......"

Liu Biao couldn't help laughing, proud in his heart.

Praising Liu Xiu is praising Liu Biao, which makes Liu Biao even more useful.

Liu Xiu was afraid of Cai Mao in his heart, but he had a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. De Jue has made a comment, and the kid is honestly afraid. There are many talents in Jingzhou, such as Wolong, Zhuge Liang, Feng Xiao, Pang Tong, and white-eyed Ma Liang, all of whom are first-class Jingzhou talents. The kid is just a little trick, not worth mentioning. ”

Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "Master Xiu is humble!"

Liu Biao was happy in his heart, thinking about how to reward Liu Xiu.

The work of curing drought cannot be unrewarded.

Suddenly, Liu Biao took off the sword at his waist and said, "Xiu'er, as you said, you are studying and studying, and you can't be distracted, so your father will not grant you an official position." But you can't go unrewarded for your great achievements. This sword is called Zhenshan Sword, which is the sword of the ancestor King Lu Gong, which has been passed down to this day and is worn by his father. Today, I will give you the Zhenshan Sword for my father, and I hope you will study diligently and be a down-to-earth person. ”

Cai Mao opened his mouth, but Liu Biao's eyes swept away, and he shut up.

Liu Biao gave the sword in the name of his father, this is a family matter, and Cai Mao cannot interfere.

It's just that compared to Zhenshan Sword, Cai Mao would rather Liu Xiu serve as the captain of the cavalry. Because the significance of the Zhenshan Sword is even more significant, but unfortunately, it was too late for him to stop it.

Cai Mao's heart sighed lightly, and she was even more frustrated.

Liu Xiu made an excited look on his face, stepped forward, held the Zhenshan Sword in both hands, bowed down and said: "Father's earnest teachings, the son must remember it in his heart and live up to his father's expectations." ”

Liu Biao bowed slightly, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.

The civil and military officials of Jingzhou congratulated together.

The eyes they looked at Liu Xiu had changed even more. Liu Xiu was born as a concubine and had a bad background, but now he has the weight of Liu Biao, and he has also obtained Liu Biao's saber Zhenshan Sword, which is a little interesting.

A Zhenshan sword is of great significance.

Although Liu Xiu was born as a concubine, if Liu Xiu is willing, he can compete for the heir of Jingzhou
