Soldiers come to the world

In the delivery room yard, Liu Jing anxiously paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. At this time, his wife had entered the delivery room for almost an hour, and the child had not yet been born. Five midwives had already arrived. The cry made Liu Jing's heart burn like fire.

He knew that giving birth to a child was a catastrophe for a woman in this era, and there were many dangers. His wife was obviously in trouble. Whether she could get through this difficulty was tonight.

Just when Liu Jing was almost in despair, a loud cry came from the delivery room. Liu Jing suddenly raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky. An inexplicable emotion strongly impacted his heart, causing him to He burst into tears.

"Congratulations, master, you are a young master!" A midwife rushed out to announce the good news.

Liu Jing quickly wiped away tears and asked, "How is Madam?"

"Madam is alright, but she is very weak and needs a good rest!"

"Can I go and see her?" Liu Jing asked hesitantly.

The midwife was a little embarrassed, and said: "Wait a little longer, and it will be fine to tidy up."

In fact, Liu Jing also knows that there are still many things to do after giving birth, and there are many things to pay attention to. In fact, it is a hygiene problem in the final analysis. At this time, he really can't rush into the delivery room.

He smiled and said, "Go and do your work! I'll wait here."

The midwife saluted, turned around and went in, "Here comes the hot water!" Xiao Baozi and a few maidservants hurried over with several large buckets of hot water. They handed the buckets to the midwife, but they dared not go in. They all backed away and stood in the courtyard. waiting.

Little Baozi held Liu Jing's hand nervously. Feeling her nervousness, Liu Jing gently hugged her shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay, her most dangerous test has passed."

The little bun was a little ashamed and said: "It's a pity that I didn't make a difference."

"There are five midwives inside! It's not your turn to help."

At this time, a midwife came out and said, "Ma'am, please let Bao Niang in."

The little bun looked back at Liu Jing, Liu Jing nodded, "Go!"

She walked into the delivery room quickly, and after a while, she appeared at the door with a baby in her arms, her face was as happy as a peach blossom, "Young master, come and see!"

Liu Jing walked forward quickly, staring intently at the baby in front of him, with a small wrinkled face and abnormally pink skin, his eyes were closed tightly, and his small mouth yawned lightly.

This is his own son, Liu Jing's heart was about to burst with joy, "Let me hug you!"

He took the swaddle carefully, and the little bun helped him hold it well. Liu Jing looked at the sleeping child in his arms, and a hot current surged in his heart, making his atrium tremble. induction.

"Husband, come in!" Tao Zhan's weak voice came from the room.

Liu Jing walked into the room with the child in her arms. Tao Zhan had already been transferred to another room. She was covered with a quilt. Under the light, her hair was messy on her forehead and her face was extremely pale.

When she saw her husband walking in with his baby in his arms, she couldn't help crying with joy, "Show me the baby!"

Liu Jing carefully placed the swaddle on the side of his wife's head, Tao Zhan turned his head to look at his son, tears of joy welled up in his eyes again.

"Husband, what's the baby's name?"

Liu Jing quickly took out a folded note from his bosom, and slowly opened it. Inside was the word 'to', which was the name he had prepared long ago. Both boys and girls could be called by this name. He laughed and said, "The baby's name is Liu Zhi!"

Tao Zhan lovingly kissed the tip of the child's nose, and said with a smile, "From today onwards, I will call you Zhi'er."

At this time, Xiao Baozi called out in a low voice at the door: "Master!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Jing stepped forward and asked.

"Li Qing said that there is an important situation to report."

Although Xiao Baozi's voice was soft, Tao Zhan still heard it, and she hurriedly said: "Husband, he must have something important to look for you at this time, you should go quickly! Bao Niang will just accompany me."

Liu Jing nodded, he also had a premonition that something important must have happened, he kissed his wife's pretty face and kissed the child before turning around and leaving in a hurry.

Walking out of the inner courtyard, he saw Li Qing, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said something in a low voice, Liu Jing frowned, "Where is he?"

"Wait in the living room!"

Liu Jing immediately walked quickly to the living room. In the living room, a man was drinking tea and waiting, looking a little anxious. He looked up from time to time to look outside the room. At this time, footsteps came from the yard, and the man suddenly stood up.

"The state shepherd is here!"

Following the reminder from the soldiers at the door, Liu Jing walked in quickly surrounded by several personal soldiers.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "The villain is here to deliver a letter to Zhou Mu under the order of the deputy governor of Lu!"

"You're welcome, please get up!"

Liu Jing took the letter and sat down to read it carefully. Slowly, his brows were furrowed. He was a little surprised by the news in the letter. Cao Cao promised Sun Quan that he would not attack Jiangdong within three to five years.

Liu Jing read the letter again. The letter did not mention Sun Quan's attitude, but only said that the matter was still in top secret.

"When did Cao Cao send someone to deliver a letter to Marquis Wu?"

"About four days ago."

The man stood aside and reported: "Many people know about the delivery of the letter, but no one knows the contents of the letter. Deputy Governor Lu said that this matter is urgent, and I hope the state pastor can make a decision as soon as possible."

"I see, you go back to your life first!"

Liu Jing then ordered his soldiers, "Reward him with ten taels of gold and send him back."

The man left gratefully, Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then asked Li Qing, "What time is it now?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, it's four o'clock now."

Liu Jing wanted to go and see his child, but Sun Quan's matter was of great importance, pressing on his heart like a mountain. He immediately told Li Qing, "Go to Mr. Jia's house quickly and say that I have an emergency. Please come and see him!"

Jia Xu's mansion was in Shuyuan Town, and it took at least half an hour to go back and forth. Liu Jing returned to the inner house. At this time, everyone had rested, Tao Zhan was exhausted, and fell asleep with the newborn baby.

Liu Jing also felt a little tired, and went back to her study to take a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a knock on the door, "What's the matter?" He asked in a daze.

It was Xiao Baozi's voice, "My lord, the soldiers outside have come to report that Mr. Jia is here."

Liu Jing turned over and went to open the door, only to see Xiao Baozi standing outside the door, with a lantern under his armpit and a cup of hot tea in his hand, his tired face could not be concealed, Liu Jing drank the hot tea and left Jin, smiled and pinched her round face, "Go to sleep!"

The little bun agreed, and then said: "Madam and baby are fine, Madam said that she has time to discuss with Young Master about the wet nurse."

"Let her decide for herself! Don't ask me."

Liu Jing walked a few steps, then stopped and turned back to tell Xiao Baozi: "I may be very busy these days, Xiao Baozi, please take care of Madam."

Xiao Baozi had never seen the young master ordering herself so solemnly before, she felt a heat in her heart, and agreed coyly: "Don't worry, young master! I will definitely do it well."

Liu Jing smiled, and then hurried out to the study, the little bun watched him go away, she lost all tiredness immediately, turned around and went back to the room, but in her mind she was thinking about what important things to do tomorrow.

It was already past five o'clock, and it was still very dark. As soon as Liu Jing entered the door, he saw Jia Xu pacing back and forth in the outer study with his hands behind his back. Liu Jing couldn't help apologizing, "I'm so sorry for making Mr. come here overnight!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Zhou Mu is happy to have a son. This is the blessing of Jingzhou. Congratulations to Zhou Mu!"

"Yeah! Two major events happened tonight, making it hard to sleep."

"Oh? What's the other big thing?" Jia Xu asked puzzled.

"Sir, please take a seat!"

The two sat down, Liu Jing took out Lu Su's letter and handed it to Jia Xu, "This is an urgent letter from Jiangdong Lu Su, the situation is not good!"

Jia Xu took the letter and read it again, and couldn't help laughing, "This should be Cheng Yu's plan. He has always suggested that Jingzhou and Jiangdong be considered separately, but Prime Minister Cao is eager to unify the south and refuses to accept his suggestion. Now it is estimated that After encountering setbacks, Prime Minister Cao finally accepted his proposal."

Liu Jing sighed, "I have to say, this plan is very vicious."

"It's very venomous. It has captured Jiangdong's vital points. Jiangdong's internal will to resist Cao is not firm, and Sun Quan must want to get the greatest benefit. Maybe there is something Sun Quan wants in Prime Minister Cao's plan."

Of course Liu Jing knew that Sun Quan was not a short-sighted monarch, and would not consider a buffer period of three to five years. If he accepted Cao Cao's plan, he must have a bigger conspiracy. Liu Jing thought for a while and understood Jia Xu's meaning.

"Sir, do you mean that Sun Quan wants to take Jingzhou from Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Other than that, I can't think of any other reason?"

Liu Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the hazy morning light outside the window. His mood was very complicated. At this moment, he finally realized the cruelty of politics. In the face of interests, Sun Quan would not hesitate to abandon himself, even if they signed an alliance Agreement, also useless.

"What should we do, sir, do you have any suggestions?" After a long time, Liu Jing asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "The best way is to persuade Sun Quan to stick to the alliance, but it is very difficult. The reason why Lu Su turned to Zhou Mu for help shows that he has no other options."

"What's the worst way?"

"There is no worst way. If he wants to withdraw troops, let him go. After we defeat Cao Jun independently, we will go back and deal with him."

"How likely do you think we can defeat Cao Jun alone?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "Frankly speaking, I don't know either, but I think the possibility is very low. After all, the strength of the two sides is too great. With Prime Minister Cao's rich experience and his old-fashioned counselor, the chances of winning are not great even with a surprise soldier. Maybe We have an advantage over water, but if Sun Quan turns to help Cao Jun, we will definitely lose."

"Will Sun Quan retaliate against Cao Jun?"

Jia Xu smiled wryly, "If he dares to do such things as breaking the covenant, I don't think anything is impossible?"

Liu Jing was silent. If Sun Quan was afraid of his future revenge, then he would definitely help Cao Cao completely destroy himself to avoid future troubles. This is beyond doubt.

"It seems that we have only the first way to go, try our best to persuade Sun Quan."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not difficult to persuade Sun Quan. The key is to let Sun Quan see hope. I have a plan to help Zhou Mu persuade Sun Quan."
