The situation in Xuzhou is indeed not very good. Compared with Pingzhou at the beginning, it is almost too much. But before the disaster, Pingzhou was a well-known and rich place, and there was a Ji family who collected a lot of money. Before the disaster, Xuzhou could only be called It can be said to be half-rich, but it turned into a barren land immediately after the disaster, and the birds didn't bother to go down to look for food when they passed the border.

For this reason, Zhou Mu of Xuzhou was so worried that his head was full of gray hair. The victims gathered around the door of the mansion all day to ask him to save their lives. When he was awakened by various noises such as the sudden sound of slamming doors, calls for help, cries, etc., he suddenly had the idea of ​​abandoning his job and running away. Without hesitation, he threw the hot potato to Chu Huaiqing, and fled Xuzhou overnight with his family members, a cart of gold, silver and jewelry, and several carts of grain and grass.

Obtaining Xuzhou without any resistance, Chu Huaiqing was also a little dumbfounded, but he was not ambiguous, and sent troops to intercept the former Xuzhou Zhoumu, and dragged back the few carts of grain and grass to help the victims, in order to thank Xuzhou Zhoumu for his help. A generous gift', Chu Huaiqing still left them a few bags of food and grass, enough to support the family's food and drink on the road.

The few carts of grain and grass were reduced to a few bags, and the money collected was ruthlessly withheld by Chu Huaiqing. The expression of the former Xuzhou state shepherd was no different from that of his dead parents. Why did you take the money!?"

Chu Huaiqing stopped and looked back, glanced at him vaguely, beckoned, took a money bag from the soldier, carried it to the former Xuzhou state shepherd, and said leisurely: "Is this your money?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The former Xuzhou Mu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but it was in vain.

The exquisite money bag embroidered with gold patterns was still dangling in front of the man, but Chu Huaiqing, who moved to avoid it, smiled: "It's a pity that it's not yours anymore."

The former Xuzhou Mu's eyes were red, and he wanted to punch Chu Huaiqing angrily, but he was kicked to the ground by the soldier in front of him. a shadow.

In the shadows, the eyes projected from top to bottom are still indifferent: "Keeping you alive is already the limit of Chu's patience. Is there any dissatisfaction about Mr. Zhang?"

The former Xuzhou Mu's arms went limp, and he almost knocked back to the ground.

Chu Huaiqing gave the money bag to the soldier, and smiled with his hands behind his back: "You are welcome to go back to Xuzhou to get your money back at any time, but I don't know if you still have the courage to stand in front of the people who have been bullied by you."

Thinking of how those common people wanted to eat him alive, the former Xuzhou Mu immediately turned pale, and fled with his family in desperation without looking back.

I used to think that Chu Huaiqing was an extremely gentle and indifferent person, but I didn't expect to have such a powerful side. Liu Yi, who had seen the tragic situation of the victims in Xuzhou, let out a bad breath, and felt very happy in his heart. , Chu Huaiqing looked at him with a helpless smile: "Alright, we still have a lot of things to deal with in Xuzhou, so go back quickly."

When the Chu, Huai, and Qing troops occupied Xuzhou, Cheng Gai, under the command of the King of Xiangyang, happened to capture Jincheng. There was also news from Ningzhou that Luo Meng, under Li Wen, had led his troops to the Weiqu yesterday, waiting for an order. , the entire Han Mausoleum can be included in the hands.

Compared with these two big moves, Qin Ce's intention to take down Xuzhou pales in comparison.

At the junction of spring and summer, there is no need to dress thickly like before. Chu Huaiqing changed into a thin long gown, and sat on the cross-legged couch to analyze the current situation in Xuzhou with Liu Yi.

The teaching of real things is always more profound and effective than talking on paper. Under Chu Huaiqing's suggestion, Liu Yi went to Xuzhou a lot of times pretending to be ordinary people in the past few days, and he had some guesses in his heart. He still has a lot of doubts about the decision made by Chu Huaiqing: "Mr. Chu, with my lord's background, it is enough to support us to seize more territories. Why don't we just switch to Pingyuan City and take down This useless Xuzhou?"

Chu Huaiqing, who was looking through the documents, stopped the book, smiled and shook his head: "There is no useless territory, it depends on how the person who owns the territory governs."

Liu Yi showed a tangled face: "That's right..."

Chu Huaiqing put down the document and joked, "But Yi is anxious because he learned that Li Wen plans to attack Hanling?"

Seeing what Chu Huaiqing was worried about, Liu Yi snorted a few times in embarrassment, unwilling to lie in front of Chu Huaiqing who had always admired him, so he honestly replied: "That's all for the King of Xiangyang. The territory I own is about to surpass my lord, so I am really anxious."

Neither good nor bad, Chu Huaiqing took out the map and asked Liu Yi to take a closer look.

Liu Yi looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see why.

Chu Huaiqing pointed out: "How many troops do King Xiangyang and Li Wen have now?"

"It is said that King Xiangyang has gathered 50 elite soldiers, and Li Wen has nearly 23 soldiers."

"My lord has nearly 25 soldiers and horses, divided into three counties of Yuchang, Xu, Ping and even Shaojing." Chu Huaiqing circled a piece of land with his fingers, and slid to Xuzhou, "We can only set aside [-] to attack Xuzhou. "

Liu Yi finally figured out the main point, seeing that Li Wen's territory was three points larger than Qin Ce's, he suddenly realized: "He can't hold it!"

"That's right." Chu Huaiqing said with a smile, "Li Wen is too eager for quick success. Although there are many cities, he can't hold them for long. Instead of gaining a city and losing a city, it is better to plan step by step and stabilize the foundation. People want to move but can't start. , The King of Xiangyang also has the same plan, so he only took Youdu and Jincheng for the time being, one is adjacent to our side, and the other is adjacent to Li Wen, occupying a narrow corner, and once we intend to attack Xiangyang, he will know immediately."

Liu Yi looked at the map again and clicked his tongue again and again.

Interrupted by Liu Yi, Chu Huaiqing also took a short break from the pile of official documents around her, picked up the tea next to her, and took a sip. The combination of astringency and fragrance dissipated a little fatigue.

In the past half a month, the feudal lords seemed to get along harmoniously, but there was no lack of rivalry in the dark. Zhang Cao in Xishan, Hong Dexing in Wuliang, and Chen Ren in Zhujun seemed to have joined forces recently, with a force of more than 30. The strength of the crowd cannot be underestimated.

Fortunately, the lord was surrounded by Li Wenwen and the King of Xiangyang, but the check and balance became a powerful barrier. The three of them couldn't move the King of Xiangyang, so the calculation method could only be cast on Li Wen, leaving enough time for recuperation.

Turning his gaze back to the document in his hand, Chu Huaiqing was stunned.

After being busy for so long, he can no longer recall how uncomfortable it was when he learned the truth. During this period, the lord sent him a lot of greeting letters. He didn't know how to reply to the letters at first, but he was too tired to do it later. Back, it has been shelved until now, when I think of it by chance, I don’t feel anything, now I am free, and I read it carefully, thinking about the lord is like the torrent of the river, making Chu Huaiqing want to get on the horse and run to Pingzhou immediately.

...Why are you still acting like a young boy who just fell in love.

With one hand on the forehead, abandoning this unrealistic idea, Xuzhou has just started on the right track, and Chu Huaiqing, who can't get away, is introspecting, and at the same time realizes that he will not be able to see the lord in a short period of time.

At this moment, a guard outside the door reported the news. Liu Yi got up and walked to the door. After listening to the guard's report, his eyebrows instantly knit into a ball.

"What's wrong?" Chu Huaiqing also sensed something was wrong, and put down the document again.

Liu Yi faced Chu Huaiqing with an unspeakable expression: "Mr. Chu... are you Chu Huaiqing?"

Liu Yi knew his real name a long time ago. Hearing his question, Chu Huaiqing immediately understood what had happened, and sighed helplessly, "Is it rumored that I am the deceased eldest son of the Duke of Chu?"

Liu Yi smiled with difficulty, feeling a little absurd: "I have seen who that eldest son is a few times in the early years. How can such a dude who can't support the wall be hooked up with Mr. Chu? I think it's those The people who spread the rumors are not very clear-headed, so they—"

Chu Huaiqing cut off his words, and confessed with a natural expression: "I am indeed the Chu Huaiqing you have seen before."

Liu Yi's face froze, his mouth opened slightly, and he stared at Chu Huaiqing with wide eyes, with disbelief written all over his face.

Chu Huaiqing sighed again: "What else is rumored outside, tell me first."

The time when the King of Xiangyang announced the news was just in time. It will be the time when the world will have curiosity and admiration for Chu Huaiqing. As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread throughout Shenggan, literati, inkmen, princes and kings, and few people were not attracted. To explore Chu Huaiqing's early experience.

Who is Chu Huaiqing?

Everyone in Chang'an may have known about it a few years ago, but when Chu Huaiqing was exiled and the position of the eldest son of the Duke of Chu changed hands, people had already forgotten about this once famous playboy. After the New Year’s dinner, it’s fun to talk about things, and the old-fashioned gossip in the next few years, this is the meaning of Chu Huaiqing to the people of Chang’an.

Although with the passage of time, the former No. [-] dandy in the capital is no longer well-known, but in order to create a lively atmosphere in several small dramas, the storyteller deliberately vilified the image of Chu Huaiqing, a passer-by who has passed away, or Comparing it to a bully bullying men and women, or to ordinary people with wealth and wealth, under the influence of subtle influences, Chu Huaiqing, who was later spread by the people of Chang'an, has become a ferocious face, a vicious heart, and can do all kinds of evil... In short, no matter how bad it is How come it looks so ugly.

The arrogant and unrestrained vicious son, the indifferent and calm worldly expert, the people who found out the news looked up at the sky, and their minds were surprisingly filled with the same emotion.

a bolt from the blue.
