Liu Xie overestimated Sun Quan.

Sun Quan has great insight in employing people, and he is also very magnanimous, but even if he uses soldiers, it is really not ordinary.

A hundred battles, a hundred defeats, no victories!

Not to mention Chibi, that was Zhou Yu's achievement, and Sun Quan took the honor of "the lord".

Sun Quan, who Liu Xie knew, was still Sun Quan. How could he have the military skills to carry out raids?

There is a saying that can be changed to suit Sun Quan.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to lead soldiers, but you always want to run out and lead soldiers, looking for a beating!

Sun Quan was finally satisfied. As soon as Liu Xie was free, he looked terrified and ran away with his knees covered. Sun Quan didn't expect Liu Xie to react like this. It was too late to catch people. When he failed, Liu Xie ran away. .

When Sun Quan chased him to the door, he saw Liu Xie hunched over, with his sleeves rolled up, looking like an "emperor" in a panic.

The servants waiting by the door looked at the back of the little emperor going away for a while, and turned their heads to look at Sun Quan.

There is also Lu Xun, who is also looking at Sun Quan.

The emperor ran away like a mouse, and Sun Quan was inside...what did he do?

Sun Quan cleared his throat, forced a smile on his face, called Lu Xun, and left without rushing to find Liu Xie.

Sun Quan came by boat.

After several years of recuperation, Jiangdong has gradually become rich, but after all, he deviates from the imperial court, and there is no big city that can be used as the capital.

Just like when Cao Cao won Liu Xie, he must have a big city that can be seen in order to be his heart.

Sun Quan built a new city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Outsiders called it "Stone City". In fact, he had already thought of the name, Jianye.

Build a grand plan and a great cause for thousands of years.

There is also a layer of selfishness. If it is not Huasheng Dadu, it cannot be used as a residence for the emperor.

Jianye has begun to take shape, just in the lower reaches of Jiangling, so it is much easier for Sun Quan to travel upstream by boat than by chariot and horse.

Although the appearance of his ship is not much different from the civilian ships of the rich and powerful in Jingzhou, but the bilge has two floors, which is an extra dark layer than other ships. This is because Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry is advanced and cheap, and the ship is full of servants. Dressed soldiers, weapons, etc. are hidden in the dark layer.

There were dozens of ships following under the banner of merchant ships, all of which were also full of soldiers.

If you really only bring people here, Jiangdong's courtiers will not let them go.

Lu Xun had already received orders from Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao and others that Sun Quan must live on board the ship, not in the post house.

On the surface, he is only Sun Ce's younger brother, but in fact he is the lord of Jiangdong. How can such a major matter as safety and danger be taken care of?

Coming out of the state capital, Sun Quan thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the boat, he saw the soldiers pretending to be servants, and suddenly came up with an idea...

"Bo Yan."

"My lord?"

Sun Quan said: "Tell me to go back and send a boat of seafood to freeze. Hurry up."

Although Lu Xun couldn't figure out what Sun Quan was going to do for a moment, he honestly complied and went down to give orders.

Liu Xie once gave Lu Xun a jade pendant with a dragon pattern on it. If Lu Xun didn't want to cause trouble, he wouldn't dare to sell it for money.

Lu Xun brought a younger brother who was a few years old, and he would be hungry when he ran out of copper coins. When he encountered Sun Ce's army, Lu Xun presented the jade pendant to Sun Ce.

Sun Quan was in Sun Ce's army at that time. When he saw the jade pendant, he asked why. He heard that Lu Xun had served Liu Xie for two days, so he accepted the jade pendant and left the two brothers behind.

Lu Xun was very smart, and Sun Quan liked him very much. Gradually, Lu Xun became Sun Quan's former confidant, doing everything from delivering orders and consulting political affairs to serving tea and water.

After giving the order, Lu Xun went back to the boat tower, and saw Sun Quan grabbing a handful of Go pieces and smiling.

"My lord is in a good mood!"

Sun Quan looked up at him and said, "I forgot again, I told you to call me Second Young Master when you come to Jiangling, not Master."

Lu Xun bowed: "I must remember this time."

Sun Quan pointed to the opposite side: "Come, accompany me to the next round."

Lu Xun picked up the hem of his shirt with his hands down, and knelt down.

After playing few pieces, Sun Quan said: "I don't know how your majesty's chess skills are now. The governor once wanted to play a game with the majesty, but he failed. I have mentioned it a lot, and I regret it."

Lu Xun said softly: "When the emperor is invited back, the governor will have no regrets."

Sun Quan laughed playfully when he heard this.

"Bo Yan, you are indeed a smart man."

Lu Xun felt a little calm and calm, and said: "The emperor is a smart person, and the second son needs everything in order to act well."

"I know," Sun Quan scooped up his sleeves and said, "You just need to follow my arrangement and send a letter back."

Liu Xie fled back to the house in a panic, but Zhuge Liang couldn't follow him to see Sun Quan. He was already extremely curious. After his servant reported, Zhuge Liang rushed to see Liu Xie.

Liu Xie sat cross-legged on the couch, with his arms propped on the armrests of the armchairs on both sides, his knees and the hem of his clothes hanging down on the couch. Seeing Zhuge Liang, his eyes were cold.

Zhuge Liang was stunned: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of Jiangdong Sun Ce sending Sun Quan here?"

Liu Xie said, "Sun Ce is still alive?"

Zhuge Liang was even more surprised: "Of course, if Sun Ce dies, it will be a major event that shakes the world, and Jiang Dong can't hide it even if he wants to."

Liu Xie pursed his lips: "Why do I feel...the person in charge of Jiangdong has already replaced Sun Quan?"

Zhuge Liang asked, "What did Sun Quan say?"

Liu Xie's head was muddled—he wasn't mentally strong enough, he was disturbed by that kiss at the moment, and he couldn't make sense of it, he couldn't make it out himself, let alone explain it clearly.

The change in Sun Quan's attitude made him faintly feel that Jiangdong would not be as stable and peaceful as it appeared on the surface, but he didn't know what the problem was.

He could only wave his hands: "Send someone to pay attention to Sun Quan."

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands: "No."

It is strange enough that Sun Quan came unexpectedly.

Liu Xie rejected Sun Quan's invitation twice, and made up his mind to never see Sun Quan again, and he was unwilling to go out of the state capital to see him.

Accidentally and unexpectedly, a group of people came from Xudu's side.

Although the secret edict was issued, it was actually just Liu Xie's way of delaying time, and it was not expected to work.

After all, Cao Cao is still guarding a "Son of Heaven", isn't he?

It's a crooked attack, but... there's someone here.

The one who takes the lead is Cao Cao's beloved Xun Yu.

There are other ministers such as Xun You, Kong Rong, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, etc., with Xu Shu in the middle.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent people to escort them south to Jiangling, and Liu Biao personally went to Ji Nan to bring them into Jiangling, and the next day they all went to the state capital to meet Liu Xie.

After a group of ministers knelt down, they saw that Liu Biao was completely different from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. Liu Biao responded to what Liu Xie said, and finally believed that the little emperor had escaped and ascended to heaven.

For a while, some laughed so hard that they lost their shape, some knelt down to the late emperor, and some cried so much that they couldn't faint.

Kong Rong and his family escaped, and Kong Xue was also inside. Relying on his classmates with the emperor, he knelt a few steps closer and wiped his tears and nose with Liu Xie's sleeve.

Liu Xie originally thought that the Kong family had been executed just like Dong Cheng, but when he saw that he was still alive, he was happy and didn't care how much Kong Xue wiped his nose with his clothes.

He sighed with the ministers, told everyone to stay in their posts, and left the rest to Liu Biao.

That night, Xun Yu was secretly summoned to see him.

Xun Yu's knee had only touched the floor when Liu Xie said, "Ai Qing is alive!"

Xun Yu looked up and saw that the little emperor was sitting behind the case with a smile on his face, but he didn't have the slightest intention of asking for responsibility.

Xun Yu said: "Why did the emperor not blame the minister? The minister has offered advice to Cao Cao for several years, and has never helped the emperor. He is doing his duty as a Han minister. The minister is guilty and dare not be like other ministers. I am blessed by the emperor's grace and ask the emperor to give me a crime." .”

Liu Xie pointed to the table next to him that had already been prepared:

"Aiqing, get flat! Sit down and talk."

Xun Yu stood up in panic, confessed his guilt and took his seat.

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I just want to ask you why you turned your back on Cao Cao and voted here? In the past, people all over the world said that Lv Bu recognized Dong Zhuo as his adopted son, and he was treacherous and despicable, but it was Lv Bu. I rescued Dong Zhuo, and then escorted me to escape when Li Jue besieged Chang'an. I think that even loyal officials like Lu Bu and Wang Yun have to humble themselves and act like thieves. Words and deeds are not enough to stop."

It's just nice to say, if it weren't for the fact that Xun Yu in history was a loyal minister, Liu Huihui would hate him~

Xun Yu was moved, and explained in detail why he left Xudu and came to Jiangling: "... I learned from Cao Zhi that the emperor has left Xudu. How can I stay? I am the young emperor. At that time, Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, and seeing the overthrow of the monarchy, he abandoned his official position and returned home. Later, he moved his family to Jizhou and served Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie interjected: "Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, Qing thought... Cao Cao was different."

Xun Yu nodded: "Cao Cao accepted the emperor, and strictly abide by the etiquette..."

Slowly, when it came to meeting Cao Ang in Yangquan, Cao Ang let him go, and when he returned to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was attacked on both sides and had no countermeasures.

"...The minister made a plan to let Cao Cao pretend to be weak first, and then take advantage of Yuan Shao's three sons' mutual suspicion to take back the emperor. If Cao Cao still has the conscience of being a minister, he will not use the minister's strategy, but... What is the result, the emperor already knows, how can the minister serve Cao Cao again? Just be careful not to let others see it, Kong Rong and the others have obtained the emperor's secret edict, and they can't believe it. False, I told them and came to Jingzhou with them."

Liu Xie understood, and said why a group of people really came here. It turned out that there was a Xun Yu jumping around.

Confirm that that is false and this is true, and those who still have the Han Dynasty in their hearts will of course come.

Xun Yu said: "Why didn't the emperor directly issue the emperor's edict? Less than one in ten received the emperor's secret edict. If the edict was issued, it would not be limited to the dozens of ministers today."

Liu Xie secretly sighed, dozens of them were unexpected...

Only three secret edicts were sent out, but in the end these people called one by one, those who were close and trustworthy, all came.

It is impossible not to alarm Cao Cao, but the ministers attached to him are so loyal that they cannot bear to anger them.
