"Xiangyang City.... The majesty of the end! ”

A few days after leaving Xinye again, they passed through Fancheng and turned to Xiangyang, where Liu Xie and others came to Xiangyang City, the seat of Jingzhou administration, under the escort of Gan Ning and more than 100 people.

Looking at the tall and sturdy Xiangyang City, Rao is the capital of Chang'an, and Liu Xie, who has seen Huainan, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Your Majesty sits in Chang'an, it is the capital of my Han Dynasty, and the magnificence of Weiyang Palace is even more famous in history, how can this little Xiangyang be compared to Chang'an?"

At this time, Gan Ning couldn't help but whisper beside Liu Xie, he was not flattering, but he didn't look down on this Xiangyang from the bottom of his heart.

Though... He also looks down on Chengdu and Jinzhu in Yizhou!

But Gan Ning is Gan Ning, he doesn't look down on Liu Biao, and even resents Liu Biao, so he resents and despises everything Liu Biao has.

And he felt that Liu Xie valued himself, so he recognized everything that Liu Xie had.

This character... To summarize in Liu Xie's words, that is, there is more or less something wrong!

However, at this time, Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at Xiangyang City, where people came and went.

"Chang'an is tall, and Weiyang Palace is heroic, but that's just a change of life after being broken.

I... The kid also went to the land of Shouchun in Huainan and saw the so-called capital of the Zhong puppet dynasty, although it was also tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But because of Yuan Shu's governance, it was dilapidated and ruined, and no matter how tall and strong the city wall was, it couldn't stop the sense of decay that emanated from the inside out.

But this Xiangyang is different... This Xiangyang is full of vitality! ”

After Liu Xie finished speaking at this time, he couldn't even help but take a deep breath, as if he could breathe the sweetness in the air...

"Gott~"

A big breath of air was breathed in, and the smell of horse manure rushed directly over, which immediately made Liu Xie almost vomit, looking at the mule and horse on the side that seemed to be running on his stomach, Liu Xie's face was gloomy.

"Into the city, into the city!" Looking at Gan Ning's appearance that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Liu Xie could only wave his hand and let everyone hurry in.

As Liu Bei's "nephew", Liu Xie naturally has his own background.

"Uncle Liu, the boy, is the nephew of General Zuo, and the elder of the family said that Zijing was the uncle of the uncle, and the uncle of General Zuo!

Uncle Zu Yuanqi once funded General Zuo to study Lu Gong, and his uncle Deran was also the same sect and classmate as General Zuo.

Fortunately, General Zuo was not rude to the boy, and was willing to be commensurate with his uncle and nephew, which really made the boy feel guilty and uncomfortable.

I came to visit Liu Jingzhou today, and I also came to thank Liu Jingzhou for my uncle's acceptance! ”

At this time, Liu Xie faced Liu Biao, but he showed a little humble and arrogant, and his every move was also quite polite, so that Liu Biao, a famous man in the world, also nodded again and again.

I can't find the slightest fault.

But this is also normal, even if Liu Xie has escaped over the years, but after all, this is constantly growing.

With Zhao Yan and their old ministers helping each other, both scheming and methods are slowly approaching maturity, and after removing some minor problems, some etiquette issues are being taught.

In Zhao Yan's words.

"Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Taizu Shizu, they really don't need to pay special attention to etiquette.

But... Your Majesty doesn't seem to be able to compare with any of them!

When Your Majesty becomes the overlord of the world, then Your Majesty will really do whatever you want to do. ”

For this sentence, Liu Xie's legs almost fell to his knees!

However, all the efforts are rewarded, and at this time, Liu Biao looked at Liu Xie in front of him with a look of satisfaction, and the dissatisfaction with Liu Bei also dissipated a little.

In the next answer, Liu Xie showed his means, while complimenting Liu Biao's status and achievements in Jingzhou without a trace, expressing Liu Bei's admiration and respect for him.

At the same time, before Liu Biao spoke, he took the initiative to let Xinye and other places out.

"Although my uncle was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to be stationed in Xinye, but now that Xinye has been calmed down, and Shuyang and other places have also been recovered, it can be used as a barrier.

Uncle has a word, he is willing to give up Xinye, and asks Liu Jingzhou to send the general to garrison again..."

Of course, this is just talk, not to mention that now Cao Ren and Xiahoudun's army is still stationed near Langling and Yexian, and Liu Bei is far away.

Even if it wasn't... What was the purpose of him Liu Biao inviting Liu Bei over?

Isn't it just a barrier?

You did it now, and then threw it over, and Liu Biao didn't take it!

Of course... If there is no such thing, then Liu Biao is worried that Liu Bei's power will grow and eventually become big, but it is really possible to divide or weaken Liu Bei.

But now... This big nephew has said it to this point, and it would be really rude to continue talking!

To die is to save face and suffer the crime, this is Liu Xie's evaluation of Liu Biao.

Sure enough, after a burst of laughter, Liu Biao directly settled the matter with a wave of his hand.

"Concord boy, you go back and tell that Xuande that he and the old man are both relatives of the Han clan, and they are brothers, where is there any suspicion?

Although the land of Xinye is not a steep one, it is also a critical barrier, and the old man only trusts him, so he doesn't need to think about it! ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Biao even asked if Liu Bei needed grain and straw as support, although he would not give too much, but this kind of opportunity to eat a big family, Liu Xie would not miss it.

After a period of conversation, Liu Xie explained one or two to Liu Bei several times and expressed several thoughts.

"Liu Bei is heading for Jingzhou, no matter how good the things the imperial court gives us, we will not return to Chang'an, and we will take root in Jingzhou in the future!"

"Our strength is weak, don't look at the number of soldiers and horses, but if there is not enough food and grass, we have to rely on Jingzhou for support, the lifeblood is in your hands, don't worry!"

"I am negotiating peace with Cao Cao, and I promise that Cao Mengde will not continue to invade Xiangyang, as for what happens after that.... Foreign affairs can be handed over to Xinye, and Liu Bei will definitely ensure the safety of Jingzhou! ”

The central idea is these three, the attitude is modest, the tone is sincere, the etiquette is in place, and Liu Biao, who listened, also nodded again and again.

When Liu Xie left from the Nazhou Pastoral Mansion again, Liu Biao even personally took Liu Xie's arm and sent him out, and then called out "virtuous nephew" one by one.

Not only that, under Liu Xie's hint, Liu Biao officially began to consider sending his eldest son, who was becoming more and more disdainful, to Xinye, and watched Liu Bei's vein for him...

In Liu Biao's eyes, the eldest son who looks more and more like him doesn't like him in personality and is a little indecisive in doing things, but... In the end, it's his own son.

Loyalty to oneself is unquestionable.

And Liu Bei... With Liu Qi watching, I don't think there will be any big problems.

After this conversation, Liu Xie at least gave Liu Bei another time, and also bought a lot of time for himself, so that Liu Biao dispelled Liu Biao's jealousy and resentment towards him.

It can be regarded as laying a foundation for future actions.

In the days that followed, Liu Xie, with Liu Biao's acquiescence, began to dismiss with some wealthy families in Jingzhou.

In addition to the familiar Ma family's five constants, as well as the Kuai Pang Xiang Xi family, Liu Xie focused on visiting some celebrities in Jingzhou, or in Jingzhou!

Zhangling celebrities, Jingzhou Zhizhong... Therefore, Deng Xi in Jingzhou!

"This Deng Xi was one of Liu Biao's advisers back then, and he was also a person, and he once dissuaded Liu Biao from ally with Yuan Shao, which did not benefit at all.

But Liu Biao didn't listen, which caused him to abandon his official position and leave in a fit of anger, fall into Jiangdong and then hide in Jiaozhou due to military accidents, which was just back in Jingzhou to live in seclusion.

However, he didn't come out of office, and Liu Biao didn't ask too much, and the two sides had such a tacit understanding that no one would care about anyone. ”

Under the introduction of Fu Xun, the guide of Jingzhou, Liu Xie also had a preliminary understanding of the famous men and women in Jingzhou.

This Fu Xun can be regarded as a legend, with a burly appearance, erudite and unspoken, and a person who judges the world.

Well... How to say this kind of talent, Liu Xie seems to be probably. Maybe... Is it something similar to fortune-telling, but more magical than fortune-telling?

In short, he is often able to see a person's talent and potential, and then predict the other person's future achievements and results.

And it's pretty accurate!

This, this thing looks more than fortune-telling, and what makes Liu Xie feel more is that this guy was also requisitioned by the Three Princes, yes, it was the Three Princes of Liu Xie's era, and he was Shang Shulang back then...

Well, that's right, Liu Xiehu went to meet Liu Biao in the past, and the result was that the family saw through the identity at a glance.

However, these guest staff under Liu Biao's command are good at this, because Liu Biao refuses to reuse them, so they really don't like Liu Biao.

For the most part, there is a semblance of calm and peace on both sides.

Because of this, although Fu Xun saw through Liu Xie's identity, he didn't dare to say a word, and after Liu Xie proposed to take a look around Jingzhou, he immediately offered to be willing to follow him as a guide to take care of...

At this time, Liu Xie and Fu Xun couldn't help but glance at each other again, all of this was silent.

"The evil man Qi is not impatient, very good at scriptures, and can also be called a great Confucian, when Liu Biao established a scholar, he sought Confucianism, so that he and Song Zhong and others wrote the "Five Classics and Chapters" and so on..."

"Du Kui, a native of Henan, is good at music and rhythm, and has the demeanor of everyone, he is a real genius, a peerless genius!"

"Lu Bu's former advisor Xu Yan... Well, Tatsumi thinks this person... Character seems to be... Huh.."

"Zhao Qi, a native of Jingzhao Changling County, was persuaded by Dong Chengzhi to build a palace to welcome His Majesty. It is also worshiped by His Majesty as too often.

It's a pity that His Majesty hasn't come now, and Zhao Qi can't go back. ”

When it came to Zhao Qi, even Fu Xun couldn't help but sigh, an old minister in his nineties, who traveled thousands of miles for the Han Dynasty, he couldn't say that he was not a loyal person.

It's a pity... I don't know what he will feel in his heart after he knows that Xu Xuan has become the Taichang who belongs to him.

And Liu Xie, at this time, couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"Let's go to Zhao Qi's mansion first!" Liu Xie finally remembered this old minister at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty on his face, "This is the elder, the kid should pay homage to the juniors!"

First go to the boss's house to pay respects, send a prayer post, and you must not have any presumptuousness! ”

"Only... Promise! ”
