Chapter 182 Saying Talent Arrived
Liu Xie suddenly understood why Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty named Liu Bei the emperor's uncle.

Liu Xie even felt that Cao Cao's strength still posed a threat to him.For this he had to find a balance.

Liu Bei was ecstatic when he got the benefits.In fact, Sun Ce had already been conferred by Liu Xie before, and this time he was formally conferred the title of Marquis of Wu again.

There is also a reward for Cao Cao, but he is at the same level as Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

"Your Majesty, isn't it unfair to award such a reward?" Cao Cao's general Xia Houdun couldn't help it, and shouted from a distance below the steps, "Our army has captured the most enemy pass fortresses, why don't you give us the rewards?" The best reward?"

"Bold traitor, who dares to be here, shouting and screaming?"

The generals under Liu Xie couldn't bear it long ago. They dared to yell at the emperor like this. They were deliberately picking on this fault.

Now it is popular that there are not many civil servants under his command, but all the generals are loyal and brave. If they want to fight alone, they must surpass Cao Cao's army.

But Liu Xie wanted to pretend to be a peacemaker, waved his hands and said:
"Shouchun City hasn't been captured yet, so for the rewards, we have to wait for the military achievements obtained in the attack on the city to determine the rank. What do you have to fight for?"

"Your Majesty, I have no complaints!" Cao Cao said with a sullen face, and shouted Xia Houdun, bowed to Liu Xie, and then retreated with his men, leaving Hou aside.

Finally, the emperor Liu Xie announced to all the envoys and forces of all parties:
"Listen, after three days, attack Shouchun from all directions. There must be no mistakes. Those who advance to Shouchun City will receive the first reward, and those who enter Shouchun second will receive the second reward! Final reward, retreat from the palace!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Jia Xu observed the situation over there, and found that Cao Cao's people hated Liu Bei's people so much, they were probably guessing that Liu Bei was taking the opportunity to give the emperor some favors?
To be honest, Liu Bei has always wanted to give the emperor some benefits, because Liu Xie fought Liu Bei several times, but Liu Bei didn't take advantage of it.

Liu Guanzhang's military strength is indeed good, but because their political, economic and other attainments are not very deep, so their overall strength has been dragged down. At present, it can be seen that it is not only Liu Xie who urgently needs to upgrade, but also Liu Xie. There is Liu Bei, and of course Sun Ce.

The flying dragon was closed, and the soldiers from all sides were slowly leaving the city, returning to their original positions, and preparing to attack the city in three days.

"Meng De, have you seen it? The emperor has started to treat you carefully, it really chills the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!"

Xia Houdun rode on the horse and told Cao Cao what was in his heart.

"Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements and are ministers must have thought about this problem." Cao Cao was not moved by it at all, his sly eyes rolled around, and his mouth was hiding the fluctuations in his heart, "We still have to follow our The established plan is to act, you know?"

"Yes!" Xia Houdun bowed his hands and saluted, and wanted to say something, but felt that Master Cao Cao's heart was unfathomable, so he just listened to him and followed his orders.

Cao Cao's team marched slowly.

Liu Xie's win over Liu Bei was exactly one of the balancing strategies agreed upon by Liu Xie and Jia Xu. Liu Xie now understands why the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave the reputation of the emperor's uncle to Liu Bei, who was not the real emperor's uncle. .This is all for profit.

Cao Cao not only captured the four pass cities, but was also the one most likely to capture Shouchun. One side had the largest number of troops, and the training of soldiers and horses was more intense. In terms of the situation, there was an irreversible trend .Cao Cao must be moderately suppressed, Liu Xie now understands what is called the way of the emperor!
"Your Majesty, everything you did before is secondary," Jia Xu suggested to him as the coalition forces left, Feilong closed the door and now calmed down beside him, "What suppressed Cao Cao? What united with Liu Bei and Sun Ce? That's all for Cao Cao The expansion of power does not have any restrictive effect, and it can even be said to be a drop in the bucket."

"What do you think, sir?"

"Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is that you must strengthen yourself!"

"Yes."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu in the room, stood there respectfully, with a tired look on his face:

"Sir, you have worked hard. Sir, you mean that I will also attack Shouchun, and I will do better than Cao Cao, right? Shouchun is a five-star pass, and I will definitely break through it first!"

"What five-star pass?" Jia Xu didn't understand.

"Oh, um, it's just such a metaphor! Sir, is there anything missing in your attack on the city?"

"His Majesty, the time is ripe for our army to attack the city. There is no shortage of generals who are used to fighting, but there is still a shortage of particularly talented civil servants!"

"Are you talking about plotting?"

"It's because Cao Cao's strength is strong, first of all, because he has several resourceful military advisers, Guo Jia, who is good at insight into people's hearts and inferring latitude and longitude, Xun You is good at arranging troops to attack and defend, and Cheng Yu is good at intrigue, intrigue, mystery and wisdom. And Xu Zi will deduce the secret of heaven, let alone the old fairy of Nanhua! Let alone Xun Yu and others."

"I have your help!" Although Liu Xie agreed in his heart, he couldn't, which made Jia Xu feel guilty.

"Isn't that good, Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji, Dong Zhao, and Xun Yu? They are all able to govern the world! In terms of cleverness, my two brothers, Lu Ji and Lu Xun, have a bright future despite their young age. The local officials, as well as Li Yan, Lou Gui, Li Tong, and Huo Jun, are guarding every pass I pass through!"

"Your Majesty, although this is the case, there is indeed a lack of military advisers who can compete with Guo Jia and Xun You in the army. This old man can advise you! But the ability is really limited. The old minister is too lazy to do everything himself! "

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu, who came to complain to him, and he also knew in his heart that there were indeed not many great counselors around him, but what famous counselors could let him go at will?Liu Xie, start worrying.I have received a lot of military generals along the way, and I can't do without civil servants!

"Your Majesty, Lord Dong Zhao, please see him and bring two people here!"

"Please come in."

Dong Zhao came in, brought a free and easy scribe under 30 years old into the meeting hall, and said directly after seeing the ceremony:

"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend a person to you! This person's surname is Xu, his name is Shu, and his character is Yuanzhi. He is a native of Changshe County, Yingchuan County. Because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the capital, the army rose up everywhere in Zhongzhou. In order to avoid the chaos, Xu Shu went south with Shi Tao from the same county. Live in Jingzhou. Li Yan, the magistrate of Wancheng County, found him and recommended him to me, and I sent him here to you!"

"Xu Shu, a celebrity!"

Excited, Liu Xie stood up and looked the literati up and down!
He knew that Xu Shu was not only talented, but also that after he arrived in Jingzhou, Xu Shu met Zhuge Liang and had a friendly relationship.

"What are you worrying about!"

Excited, Liu Xie grabbed Xu Shu's hand!
