Chapter 170 Xin Pi

Outside Xiangyang City, Xu Shu has got out of the carriage and rode on the horse with Liu Pan and others.

"Haha, I finally arrived in Xiangyang." Liu Pan looked at the city in front of him and laughed.

"Yes, it's been two months since I left Xiangyang with my lord." Ma Liang also said with a sigh.

Xu Shu, who was between the two, smiled and didn't say anything about what happened in Xiangyang these days. He already knew about Xiangyang these days. He also sincerely appreciates Liu Qi's approach. Although it is a little risky and impulsive, it is the best way to deal with a family like Cai, blind concessions will only put himself in a dilemma.

And this time, we have found a way to deal with the Cai family. In the future, when we fight against the Cai family, we will not be as embarrassed as before.

"Next is the real contest." Xu Shu looked at the majestic Xiangyang City and thought of Liu Qi's ambition. In the future, their opponents will not only be a family like Cai Mao, but also all kinds of princes in the world. The fighting spirit in Xu Shu's heart was getting stronger and stronger. At this time, Xu Shu revealed that his self-confidence was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and he wanted to challenge the world.

"You see, the master is here." Ma Liang suddenly pointed to the excited inside the gate.

Drive and drive.................

More than a thousand people in the city gate jumped over. At first, a white horse dressed in brocade ** The white horse was like a white horse. The amazing speed was Liu Qi. More than a thousand cavalry behind Liu Qi and people along the way avoided, standing on both sides of the road and looking at the soldiers on the horse with envy.

"Yuan Zhi!" Before he got there, Liu Qi shouted loudly, and as soon as his voice fell, he had stayed in front of Xu Shu and others.

"What a horse!" In front of Liu Qi, Xu Shu, Liu Pan and Ma Liang looked at the unique shadow under Liu Qi in surprise. The unique shadow was white without any color, and the eyes the size of two copper bells were flexible and constantly rotating.

"Hmm?" After waiting for a long time, the three of Xu Shu didn't react. Liu Qi couldn't help but withdraw his eyes from the army behind Xu Shu. The three of them looked at Jue Ying with a surprised face. They couldn't help patting the horse's head and smiled and said, "This is what I met in Jiangdong's horse farm. I named him Jue Ying."

Before Xu Shu said anything, Liu Pan, who was beside him, couldn't help asking, "Brother, are there any horses left?" I want to have one, too."

"When I saw the eldest brother, I thought about the horse without greeting him first." As soon as Liu Qi was about to answer, he heard Liu Xiu snorted softly behind Liu Qi.

"Well, hello, big brother." Liu Pan said with embarrassment. After saying that, he stared at Liu Xiu fiercely, but Liu Xiu turned a blind eye to Liu Pan and made a grimace and patted the horses behind him, as if to show off.

Liu Qi shook his head and looked at the two people helplessly and said, "Don't worry, there are still some horses like this in the house. You can pick them when you go back."

"Ha ha, I've met the master." I ignored the nonsense of the two people, and Xu Shu immediately bowed and asked.

"Don't pay much attention to Yuan Zhi. Who do you think that is?" Liu Qi got out of his way, and the Jinyiwei and Jinfan thieves behind him also let the exam one after another. A carriage came slowly. The curtain was gently lifted and the gray-haired comer slowly walked off the carriage and looked at Xu Shu with a smile.

"Mother!" Xu Shu exclaimed and got off the horse with a happy face and quickly walked to the carriage and helped the old man up.

"Okay, my son finally got ahead." The old man looked up and down at Xu Shu with a happy face.

"Haha, Yuanzhi should go back with the old lady first." Liu Qi said with a smile. When he left, he ordered someone to pick up Xu Shu's mother. These days, Xu Shu's mother has been living in Liu Qi's house. After Liu Qi returned to his house, he bought a courtyard for Xu Shu next to Liu Qi's mansion and placed the old lady there. Today, when he heard that Xu Shu came back, he ordered someone to inform the old lady.

"Thank you, Lord." Xu Shu saluted Liu Qi deeply with a grateful face.

"Hehe, you're welcome. Let's go back first." With that, he helped the old lady into the carriage with Xu Shu and went back to the city together.

Liu Qi greeted Xu Shu with such a big fanfare. At this time, the officials in the city had already reached the military division and some of the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army and had returned to Xiangyang.

As early as when the Southern Expeditionary Army wiped out Zhang Xian, Xu Shu's name had been famous throughout Jingxiang. Liu Qi had just established prestige in Xiangyang and Xiangyang's official family was full of chills in his heart. Now Xu Shu's return would not make Liu Qi more like a tiger and wings.

Liu Biao in the state magistrate's mansion was holding a banquet to entertain Yuan Shao's messengers at this time. The banquet was not luxurious, but just a table of wine and vegetables was placed in the garden, and the two sat and talked to each other.

"Jorji, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." Liubiao sighed as he poured wine for the middle-aged man opposite him.

"That's right. It's the first time we've met since Jing Sheng became the governor of Jingzhou." The person opposite was Xin Pi under Yuan Shao's command, who assisted Yuan Shao with his brother Xin Ping. Although Xin Pi is more than ten years younger than Liu Biao, the two are like-minded. This time, Yuan Shao sent someone to Xiangyang to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, so Xin Pi recommended himself as a messenger.

"How has George been in the North these years?" Liu Biao looked at Xin Pi, who had not seen the middle-aged for ten years, and asked.

"Oh, it's hard to say." Xin Pi shook her head and looked a little depressed.

Liu Biao looked at Xin Pi in surprise and asked, "Is it not good for George to be let go? Will Yuan Shao still treat you slowly?"

Xin Pi shook his head and said, "Although Yuan Shao is strong, he is lenient and indecisive, but he has been good for me over the years. However, Yuan Shao's party is full of parties, and the internal struggle is extremely fierce and often quarrels over some small things. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve a big deal.

Yuan Shao's subordinates are currently divided into four factions. Xin Pi's brothers Xin Ping and Guo Tu are a faction that supports Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, while Feng Ji and Shen is a faction that supports Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang, and there is also a faction that is only loyal to Yuan Shao. In addition, the weakest faction is Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi. These four departments are full of contradictions and struggles, and they are busy fighting for power all day long, which is really chaotic and abnormal. Xin Pi had already persuaded his brother Xin Ping, but Xin Ping did not listen. On the one hand, he sent Jing Xiang to visit his friends, and on the other hand, he also wanted to avoid disputes and relax.

"Hey, isn't it Jingzhou?" Hearing Xin Pi's narration, Liu Biao already knew the general situation under Yuan Shao's command. The situation in Jingzhou is only slightly better than that in the north. He has only three sons in total. The youngest son is young, and only Liu Qi and Liu Cun compete. He is also worried about Jing Xiang's situation. Once the two sons completely break up, Jingzhou may fall apart.

"Haha, I forgot." Xin Pi smiled and pointed to Liu Biao and said, "You have a good son."

Liu Biao looked up at Xin Pi and asked, "Have you seen Qi'er?"

A few days ago, Liu Biao wanted Xin Pi to introduce Liu Zong. It should be impossible for Liu Qi to see Xin Pi when he came back in the past few days, and what Xin Pi said did not look like Liu Cong.

"Yes, I've seen it twice, but I have the courage and courage. Besides, the whole Xiangyang is talking about Liu Qi these days. If I don't know it, it would be too dereliction." Xin Pi said and picked up the glass to toast Liu Biao.

After drinking wine, Liu Biao looked at Xin Pi and asked, "What do you think of Qi'er?"

Xin Pi put down the glass and said solemnly, "Although I don't know the eldest son's future achievements, I can definitely stand on the side with the talent of the eldest son, and maybe it's not bad to be able to set the world."

Xin Pi's words stunned Liu Biao. He didn't expect Xin Pi to think so highly of Liu Qi, and Xin Pi and Liu Qi had seen him a few times at most. How could he be so sure?

Seeing that Liu Biao's face was unbelievable, Xin Pi looked outside the hall and said, "The first time I saw the eldest son was before the eldest son went on an expedition. At that time, I shook off the accompanying soldiers and horses alone and wandered around. It happened that day that I turned to Xiangyang, so I rested on the Jufu Building and didn't want dozens of horses to gallop through the window. The two people in the middle. He was even drunk on the horse's back. Later, I asked the shopkeeper of Jufu Building, and I knew that one of them was the eldest son.

"How can Qi'er be so rude?" Liu said with a sigh.

"You are wrong." Xin Pi shook her head and sighed, "I thought so at first, but when I knew who the other person was, I understood why the eldest son was drunk."

"Oh, who is the other person?" Liu Watch is also a little curious.

"It's Xu Shu!" Xin Pi suddenly said.

"It's him!" Liu Biao was a little surprised. Liu Qi's performance in this expedition to Xu Shu was really too eye-catching. He had to pay attention to it. What's more, he had also recruited Xu Shu at the beginning. Naturally, he had to see Xu Shu's ability.

"Exact" Xin Pi sighed and said, "At that time, I ordered someone to inquire. At that time, in order to attract Xu Shu, the eldest son went to Yijibo's house to talk with Xu Shu in detail all afternoon. After that, the two were drunk and hugged each other. The eldest son is so polite and virtuous, and Emperor Guangwu saw Deng Yu in those years. In a short time, the eldest son gathered Gan Ning, Lv Jie and other generals, Xu Shu, Ma Liang, and other counselors. Gan Ning's courage was not inferior to Wang Wei and Wen Ping, and Xu Shu's talent was even higher than Kuai Yue, Cai Yao and others. After that, the expedition against Changsha against Jiangdong confirmed my guess.

"Well, when he saw the eldest son, he was just a three- or four-year-old child who was extremely well-behaved. He didn't expect that he could gallop on the battlefield after more than ten years." Xin Pi looked at the look of remembrance.

"This..." Liu Biao looked incredible.

Liu Xiu is the master of Zhongxing in the Han Dynasty, with high moral character and talent. He has been in Confucianism for more than 30 years and advocates national integrity. It can be said that he has been the most beautiful and Confucianism is the most prosperous era for thousands of years. At that time, prison was not popular, taxes were the lowest in thousands of years, and the people were rich. The whole world advocates literature and martial arts, and advocates integrity. Therefore, Emperor Guangwu was also known as the crown of the hundred kings (the champion among all emperors, which refers to surpassing all emperors).
