Zhu Nao

Luzhou.

Liu Jingfeng was sitting in the house, and the spies who had just returned from Huainan were reporting the situation to him.

"Lieutenant Liu," the spies said, "there is no sign of the Shu army coming over for the time being, and they are currently appeasing the people's livelihood. Tian Chou ordered the establishment of a disaster relief granary to distribute relief food to the people in Huainan who are struggling to make ends meet."

Liu Jingfeng couldn't help being taken aback: "They still distribute food to the people? This... this is Huainan as their own territory."

Liu Jingfeng was originally worried that the Shu army would move eastward immediately after occupying Huainan, and he was not sure that he could stop the Shu army in Luzhou.Now the good news is that he has a little more time to breathe. The bad news is that the Shu army bought people's hearts in Huainan, and the possibility of them taking back Huainan is even smaller—or it should be said that from the beginning, the Shu army didn't think they would take back Huainan Otherwise, Huainan would not be governed so generously.

Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but smile wryly: If this trend continues, how long can Chen Guo last?

At this moment, a soldier broke in.

"Duke Liu!" The soldiers rushed to report, "There is a troop coming from outside!"

"What?!" Liu Jingfeng suddenly stood up from the chair.Didn't it mean that Tian Chou is now committed to governing Huainan, so he won't call right away?Is it a blindfold? !

The soldiers took a breath and said: "It is Xie, Mr. Xie who led the troops to support!"

Liu Jingfeng was stunned, and was surprised and delighted at once: "What are you panting for? It scared me so much! Which Xie Gong is leading the army? Is it the old seven?" Asking, he couldn't wait to go out.

The soldier said: "Yes, it is Xie Qigong."

When Liu Jingfeng heard the answer, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, and his footsteps became faster and he ran towards the stable.The soldiers behind him quickly caught up: "Lieutenant Liu, wear a cloak, be careful not to catch a cold!"

Liu Jingfeng didn't care about whether he had a cape or not. He got on the horse and ran out without stepping on the pedals. He almost sprained his foot.

He rode his horse straight to the gate of the city. Seeing that the gate was still closed, he ordered loudly, "What are you still doing? Open the gate!"

The soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate.

Liu Jingfeng led a few soldiers and continued to rush out. After leaving the city gate, he saw a large army waiting under the city tower. The army held high the "Chen" and "Xie" flags, and stood in front of the army on horseback. Who is the person who is not Xie Wuchen?

Liu Jingfeng's eyes were shining, and he rushed straight to the front of the army.

Seeing him coming out, Xie Wuchen was also taken aback for a moment, looking him up and down.

Liu Jingfeng turned over and jumped off the horse, walked under Xie Wuchen's horse, raised his head and stretched out his hand to Xie Wuchen with a smile that could not see his eyes: "Lao Qi."

Seeing his smiling face, Xie Wuchen lost his mind for a moment, and handed him his hand in a strange way.

As soon as Liu Jingfeng exerted force, he pulled him off the horse.Xie Wuchen wanted to jump to the ground, but was hugged by Liu Jingfeng with open arms.What's more, Liu Jingfeng picked him up and spun him around twice on the spot!

Xie Wuchen was stunned, and wanted to push him away, but Liu Jingfeng played a rogue, clasped his two paws tightly on his back waist, and refused to let go.

Xie Wuchen's face turned red with anger, and he couldn't turn against Da Jun in front of him, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "What are you doing? Da Jun is watching!"

Liu Jingfeng grumbled: "Lao Qi, let me hug you for a while, just for a while. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xie Wuchen whispered: "Let's talk about it after entering the city!"

But Liu Jingfeng didn't like him: "Will you still let me hug you when you enter the city? You have to beat me up."

Xie Wuchen: "..." He really has such a plan.During this period of time, he received several letters from Liu Jingfeng, in which it seemed that Liu Jingfeng had already been put on the neck with a knife by Ma Shu and Shu Jun, and if he came two days late, he would have his arms chopped off legs.The results of it?At the moment it is still full of beards and tails, and there are no multiple wounds.

But let him carry on like this, the face of the commanders of the two armies will be completely lost, and they will become the laughing stock of the army.

Xie Wuchen's cursing words came to his lips, he finally held back, put his arms around Liu Jingfeng, and sighed softly in his ear: "...It's good that you're fine."

His abnormal tenderness made Liu Jingfeng tremble in fright, and he let go of his hand unconsciously, Xie Wuchen immediately seized the opportunity to push him away, and by the way gave him a hard look.

Liu Jingfeng patted his chest, still in shock: Xie Laoqi would talk to him softly, he thought he was really dying soon!

Xie Wuchen quickly straightened his crumpled clothes, turned around and ordered to the army: "Go to the city!"

……

……

After setting up the army, Xie Wuchen and Liu Jingfeng came to the mansion requisitioned in Luzhou.

Liu Jingfeng kept his expression on the face, but he couldn't help stealing glances at Xie Wuchen.

The two walked into the courtyard, Xie Wuchen suddenly stopped and turned around, Liu Jingfeng was startled, and subconsciously made a defensive posture.

Xie Wuchen laughed.

Liu Jingfeng waited for a while, but he didn't wait for the fist or kick, and he didn't wait for the reprimand, so he couldn't help putting down his parry.Seeing Xie Wuchen's serious face, Liu Jingfeng was stunned and hurried forward.

"Lao Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Wuchen exhaled slowly, looked up at him: "Liu Ba, just before I left Jiangning, I personally arrested Lu Er."

Liu Jingfeng was at a loss: "Lu Qinghui? What happened to him?"

Xie Wuchen said: "He formed a party in the court and organized a bamboo poetry club. In fact, he used the name of the poetry club to secretly plan to surrender to Shu. When we found out, he had already secretly won many people." People who participated in the "Poetry Club" told Liu Jingfeng.

After hearing this, Liu Jingfeng was both expected and quite surprised.What he expected was that someone wanted to descend to Shu, but what was unexpected was that Lu Qinghui would take the lead in this matter.He thought Lu Qinghui hated Zhu Nao...

Xie Wuchen said solemnly again: "Before I came, I have discussed with the people of our Xie family and your Liu family. It seems that we must fight the war with the Shu people."

Liu Jingfeng was taken aback again.

He quickly understood why, his lips moved a few times, and finally he pulled out a wry smile.

"Hey!" Liu Jingfeng said, "I thought it was you who missed me, so you led the soldiers to look for me! So it's like this..."

Xie Wuchen was speechless for a moment.

On how to deal with Shu, the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have been hesitant.There are many worries about fighting, and there are many worries about not fighting, but many things in this world are often caused by "indecisiveness".When they hesitated, others would not stop, so when they came back to their senses, they found themselves extremely passive.For the Xie family and the Liu family, this is the case.

At first, they counted on Ma Shu to occupy Xuzhou and help them block the footsteps of the Shu army.As a result, in just half a year, Ma Shu fought back.Before they could get rid of Ma Shu's rebellion, the Shu army crossed the Huai River with the help of Ma Shu's east wind.What made them wake up completely was actually Lu Qinghui's activities in Jiangnan.

——Lu Qinghui was undoubtedly instigated by Zhu Nao, and his actions clearly revealed Zhu Nao's strategy against Chen.

——Junao intends to win a faction and fight a faction.

For the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible for Zhu Nao to kill them all. Otherwise, if the powerful families are forced to resist desperately, even if the Shu army can win Jiangnan, they will have to pay a huge price, and what they get is not a rich and rich land of fish and rice, but A piece of broken wasteland.

However, it is impossible for Zhu Nao to win over all the powerful families.Otherwise, even if Chen Guo bowed his head and became a vassal, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River would not change, and it would still be a separate land that was difficult for the imperial power to govern.

Therefore, Zhu Nao's strategy is to pull one faction and fight another faction, let Chen Guo split the civil strife, and then defeat them one by one!

Who he is going to pull is known from the members of Lu Qinghui's poetry club; it is also very clear who he is going to hit - it is the Xie family and the Liu family who are currently the most powerful in Chen Guo!

Then the Xie family and the Liu family suddenly realized that they had no choice.talk?Zhu Nao was going to talk, but he didn't plan to talk to them!drop?If they are willing to be robbed of everything and become fish at the mercy of others, they can surrender, but are they willing?That's the only way left.Only fight.

Fight, if you can fight back the Shu army, that would be the best; if you can't, then you have to fight until Zhu Nao changes his mind and decides to talk to them!This is their only chance!

——Unknowingly, Xie and Liu have fallen into the same situation as Ma Shu back then.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy, Liu Jingfeng only felt that his chest was stuffy, and he couldn't breathe.He pulled out a smiling face and said: "You have been driving for several days, go take a shower and change clothes and rest for a while, I will catch the wind for you at night."

Xie Wuchen nodded.

Xie Wuchen's house Liu Jingfeng had already been tidied up, he personally took Xie Wuchen there, Xie Wuchen stepped into the house, Liu Jingfeng also followed in, and suddenly closed the door.

Xie Wuchen heard the sound of the door closing behind him, and turned around involuntarily. The next moment, he was hugged tightly by Liu Jingfeng again.

Liu Jingfeng seemed to be afraid of being pushed away by him, and hugged him very tightly as soon as he came up, whispering in his ear nervously and pitifully: "Lao Qi, I really miss you. I didn't lie to you, then For a few days, I really thought I was going to die in Huainan and never see you again. Let me hug you for a while."

The expected struggle did not come, Liu Jingfeng only felt two hands gently land on his back.

Xie Wuchen didn't say anything.Just now Liu Jingfeng said that he thought he had missed him before leading troops to support him, but of course it was not the case.But at least, he could have stayed in the middle of the capital, instead of personally leading troops to Luzhou.

After hugging for a long time, Liu Jingfeng was still reluctant to let go, but he didn't have the guts to take a step closer.He was afraid that Xie Wuchen would push him away if he went too far, and it would be difficult to kiss Fangze again in the future.

——If only he had enough time to test a little bit.

He murmured: "Lao Qi... Do you think this battle has to be fought?"

"No."

Liu Jingfeng couldn't see the expression on Xie Wuchen's face, only heard his rational and calm tone, so calm that the sleeping person instantly woke up.

Xie Wuchen paused and said: "Liu Ba, if Xie's family and Liu's family are lost, you and I will be nothing."
