Chapter 235 Please kill Xu Yuanzhi!
"Sir, how can we trouble you to come here? Just ask the officials to come and call us. It should be us two who come to visit you!"

There was no time to be surprised, Liu Xiang's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he jumped up from the bed in almost the blink of an eye, bowed and clasped his fists towards Liu Bei, who was in the lead, for fear of giving the impression that he was rude to his superior.

"Hahaha, Mr. Liu, please stand up. Please stand up. There is no need to be so flustered. I came to see you today not as the governor of Jingzhou, but as Liu Xuande."

Liu Bei helped Liu Xiang up. His gaze moved from Liu Xiang's face to Liu Ba. Seeing Liu Ba avoiding his guilty gaze, he smiled unkindly.

The name Liu Ba.

Not only had Liu Bei seen it in books, he had also heard Zhen De mention it.

Liu Ba was born into a family of officials and scholars. When he was young, he joined Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Cao Cao was defeated at the Battle of Red Cliffs and his way home was cut off.

This person once wrote a letter to the prime minister, in which he said, "My goal is to follow the will of heaven, let the counties of Jingzhou return to Cao Cao, and realize the unification of the world. However, people in the world either value morality or focus on selfish desires. It is beyond my ability to persuade them. It is better for me to wander around the world and sail on the ocean."

No matter how the prime minister tried to dissuade him from staying, the man replied, "I came from Cao Gong's camp, and I should return to Cao Gong."

He then fled to Jiaozhou. After arriving in Jiaozhou, he disagreed with the political views of the governor of Jiaozhou and fled to Yizhou.

As a result, Yizhou fell into the hands of Liu Bei.

It really is like going round and round and back to where I started.

Liu Bei originally thought that Liu Ba would not dream of him, but who would have thought that it would be beyond his expectations.

But come to think of it, it’s a good thing.

Qian Zhao, who was standing behind Liu Bei, pursed his lips. He thought, why are all the recent ones children? Did Xuande disturb the nest of children?

While he was complaining in his heart, he also witnessed that Liu Bei's words moved Liu Xiang to tears and he vowed to protect the country and the people. He always felt that letting Liu Ba study under Pang Degong played a key role.

"Sir, I have a request that you do not ask for." Liu Xiang seemed a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Liu, why don't you just speak frankly?"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

Liu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "It is Jiangxia."

"Ah" Liu Ba, who was sitting on the bed, yawned and said mercilessly: "To put it simply, the Jiangxia clan rebels are causing chaos, and the governor of Jiangxia County is powerless to resist them!"

Liu Xiang was furious when he heard that Liu Ba had ripped off his dignity. Just as he was about to take out his shoes, Liu Ba immediately perked up and rushed to Liu Bei's side, shouting, "Lord, save me!"

This caused everyone present to laugh.

Seeing this, Liu Xiang had no intention of teaching Liu Ba a lesson. He looked at Liu Bei, took a deep breath, and when the laughter gradually stopped, he clasped his fists and said, "I hope you will send troops to help!"

"it is good"

Liu Bei agreed without hesitation, and the speed was so fast that Liu Xiang was dazed. Confused, he asked, "Sir, how many soldiers do you have?"

Before coming here, Liu Xiang was mentally prepared and had investigated Liu Bei. There were only a thousand men before coming here. Even if all of them were veterans of many battles, there would always be losses due to the rebellion of Zhao Ci in Nanyang County. He must have arranged for his trusted men to be stationed in Nanyang County, right?

Do you really trust the little-known Xiang Lang?

As he thought about it, Liu Xiang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Sir, how do you quell the rebellion of the clan bandits?"

"Haha, Mr. Liu, follow me and go meet someone with me."

"who?"

"My military advisor is Xu Yuanzhi!"

"Oh, by the way, this is a gift to Ba."

"What is this?" "Longevity lock."

Outside the school ground.

At the introduction of Liu Bei, Liu Xiang met Xu Shu. It's not that he had never heard of Xu Shu before, but he felt confused. Before this, Xu Shu was just an outsider student who followed Xiang Lang around everywhere, and it was said that he was from a humble family. He didn't expect that he would suddenly become Liu Bei's military advisor, and his power was even above Liu Bei's. It was really confusing.

"Sir, Governor Liu, I understand." Xu Shu smiled and nodded, gently waving his feather fan as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand. Liu Xiang was quite dissatisfied with this, after all, he was just a teenager, what good ideas could he have.

Xu Shu's next words further confirmed Liu Xiang's conjecture

"Envoy, do you still remember Lai Min and Lai Jingda?"

"Naturally remember."

Liu Bei also had doubts in his heart, but he noticed Xu Shu's eyes and tone, and immediately understood that the words were meant for Liu Xiang, so he said in agreement: "Lai Jingda is the son of the Minister of Works, and he is very knowledgeable. I wonder why Yuan Zhi mentioned him?"

Liu Bei's words asked what Liu Xiang wanted to ask. In his eyes, Lai Min was just a scholar who relied on the influence of his father. He could be said to be capable, but he was mediocre and there was nothing worthy of praise.

"Envoy, you only know one side of the story. Lai Jingda is a good speaker. What we have told you today will spread like wildfire in other counties tomorrow. If you order Lai Jingda to publicize your benevolent policies, wise men will surely come to serve you. And if you order Xiang Juda to gather soldiers to help Jiangxia, the clan bandits will be terrified and the crisis in Jiangxia will be resolved."

"I see."

Liu Bei nodded. He understood what Xu Shu meant. To use the words of the fairyland in later generations, people like Lai Min are called big mouths who can't keep secrets.

But it is also his ability to make it known to everyone.

At the same time, an idea came to Liu Bei's mind. If he asked Zhen De, who was promoted by Lai Min, to shoot a scene in the movie, such as who was holding Cao Cao, wouldn't the answer be able to preliminarily determine the identity of his wise ministers and generals? Being able to find wise ministers and generals in a short period of time, and those in Jiangxia could also be the insiders, it would really kill two birds with one stone.

However, Liu Xiang was not clear about all these details. He frowned and thought, how could it be so simple? Could it be that when the scholars in Jingzhou saw the envoy, they would bow down like Ba and shout "Lord"?

He took a deep breath to calm his anger. He bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Sir, please think twice. War is no joke. How can such a simple thing happen in this world?"

From Liu Xiang's words, we know that Liu Ba obviously did not tell his father what he saw in the dream. Liu Bei, thinking that ignorance is not a crime, said: "Why don't I lead the troops to fight?"

"No!"

"No!"

Xu Shu and Liu Xiang opened their mouths at the same time. Liu Xiang looked at Xu Shu with a high opinion of him, thinking that this man must be too naive. He must be quite capable to be able to help the envoy quell the rebellion in Nanyang.
Seeing Liu Bei's doubtful look, Liu Xiang said, "Let me speak for you."

Xu Shu made a gesture of invitation.

Clearing his throat, Liu Xiang explained, "Your clan is powerful. I know you are brave, but... As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, and a vicious tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves. Don't put yourself in danger!"

After saying this, Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Liu Jun Shou, weren't you worried that the envoy's troops were insufficient?"

"Yes, Military Advisor Xu, do you have any good ideas? I'm afraid it's too late to recruit local troops."

"It is too late to send untrained people to the battlefield, which is harmful to others. You must never do anything that harms others."

"What do you mean? Where will we recruit soldiers from?"

"Of course it's the Wuxi barbarians."

Liu Xiang's eyes widened instantly, looking at Xu Shu in disbelief. Wuxi barbarians? This is a human plan? ! ! This is clearly intended to harm the envoy!

He bowed to Liu Bei and said loudly

"Please kill Xu Yuanzhi!"
