Liu Xin seemed to see through Qiao Xuan's mind. He smiled and said: "Outside Qiao. Don't think that you have these equipment. You can smoothly quell the war in the north. In fact, everything has his shortcomings. Although these trebuchets and ballistas are powerful, they are slightly heavy. Don’t say anything else. Transportation is a big trouble. And the operation is also very complicated. Those soldiers must go through long-term training to be able to use them freely. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on these equipment to capture the world."
Qiao Xuan smiled embarrassedly. Said: "Master Liu strategized. Qiao did not dare to say anything. However, Qiao said that. I hope that the adults will think of the world. As soon as possible, he will rule the big man."
Liu Xin sighed and said: "Everything conforms to the will of the people. Outside Qiao. You have already seen the core secret of the Han army. Let's go. Let's go back to the city. Liu will go for your family."
in fact. If not, Liu Xin tried his best to stay. Qiao Xuan wanted to leave a few days earlier. His influence is limited to Lujiang. He wants to return to Lujiang in a hurry to build momentum for Liu Xin's propaganda. It is also necessary to eliminate the impact of Mi Heng's remarks. It is also necessary to produce and sell new-style weaving and damask machines. A lot of things are waiting for him.
Just when Qiao Xuan's family left Xiangyang City. Liu Bang also took a few entourages. Quietly out of Changlehou Mansion. Come to meet Liu Bei. The two were originally neighbors. But since Liu Xin returned to Xiangyang. Liu Bei stayed at home. Even Liu Bang disappeared. Liu Bang was originally a playful age. In the past, Liu Bei always took him to visit those gray-haired old men. All the talks are national events that he is not interested in. and so. From the heart. Liu Bang is reluctant to go out with Liu Bei. This six months. Liu Bei did not come to him. Liu Bang is falling quietly.
but. Since I saw the sisters of Qiao in the State Shepherd House on the day of the fight. Liu Bang seemed to have lost his soul. Tea and rice do not think about it. Liu Bang also knew that Qiao Xuan's family had not left. I also have the heart to dangle in front of them again. It's just that Ma Yun doesn't call him. He didn't dare to enter the prefecture and pastoral mansion. Anyway, Liu Bang felt a little strange. He saw Liu Xin and Ma Yun absolutely not the feeling of seeing his biological parents. The attitudes Liu Xin and Ma Yun treat him are neither painful nor itchy.
Although it has been more than a year since I arrived in Xiangyang. But there was no one who could really say something to Liu Bang. The only thing that makes Liu Bang feel closer. There was only the kind-faced Liu Bei. Liu Bang thought about going. He decided to tell Liu Bei about his troubles. Please give him an idea.
If you want to ask in this world. Who is Liu Bei hated most? That must be Liu Xin. Liu Bei worked so hard to establish a deep friendship with Guan Yu. It was dismantled by Liu Xin's design. At first Liu Bei didn't know where the problem was. Later, I heard that Liu Xin bestowed Du Xiuniang on Guan Yu as a concubine. Liu Bei finally figured it out. All this is a bureau set by Liu Xin. Of course. Liu Bei is a hero of the generation. I have also conducted self-reflection. If he does not covet Du Xiuniang's beauty. How could there be today's situation? The problem is still with him.
despite this. Liu Bei still hates Liu Xin. He endured the humiliation. Just to one day be able to retaliate against Liu Xin. It's just that Liu Bei now has no soldiers, no rights, and no money. Even if you want revenge, there is no way to start. But the sky is endless. Liu Xin and Ma Yun were indifferent to Liu Bang. Let Liu Bei be aware of the opportunity.
Liu Bei wants to further provoke the father-son relationship between Liu Xin and Liu Bang. Even let the father and son turn against each other. Not only that. Liu Bang is his hope for a comeback. Liu Bei is very clear. It will be a matter of time before Liu Xin proclaims the emperor. And Liu Bang is the eldest son. It should be the crown prince. As long as you have mastered Liu Bang. It is tantamount to grasping the future of Liu Xin and even the entire Han Dynasty.
The plan has been going smoothly. Liu Bang has a relative to Liu Bei than to Liu Xin's "daddy". Liu Bei also used Liu Bang's identity. Successfully won the trust of Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others. Although these people are just hermits. But their disciples are all brilliantly talented. Get these all over. It will definitely help him in the future.
Last year's imperial examination. Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin really ranked first and second. Liu Bei originally expected them to be like Jia Xu the year before. Was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Xin. As a result, these two people were "distributed" by Ma Yun to the wild land like Nanzhong. This incident also made Liu Bei Dunsheng vigilant.
After all. Liu Bei hates and fears Liu Xin. Liu Xin's military strength is still second. What Liu Bei fears most is his insightful eyes. He didn't even conceal the affair between himself and Du Xiuniang. So Liu Xin returned to Xiangyang. Liu Bei, who was already wary, immediately huddled at home. Never go out again.
right now. The doorman came to report suddenly. See you Liu Bang. This made Liu Bei tangled up. Hesitate again and again. Still decided to invite Liu Bang in.
Liu Bang saw Liu Bei. He choked and said, "Foster father. You must help me."
Liu Bei hasn't seen Liu Bang for more than half a year. At first sight this time. Can't help being taken aback. The originally chubby boy. It's actually haggard a lot. I couldn't help saying: "Master Xiaohou. What's wrong with you. Come on. Sit down and speak slowly."
Liu Bang's face was crying. Said: "Foster father. There is a family named Qiao in Lujiang City. Do you know that."
Liu Bei thought for a while. Nodded and said, "There seems to be such a family. Patriarch Qiao Xuan once served as a prefect. You ask him what he did."
Because Liu Bei stayed at home all day to weave straw mats and straw sandals. I don't know about the Qiaoxuan family's arrival in Xiangyang. but. Liu Bei has always paid close attention to celebrities everywhere. Even if he has never taken refuge in Yuan Shu. I also know that there is a character named Qiao Xuan in Lujiang.
Liu Bang's voice suddenly became quieter: "He has two daughters in his family."
Liu Bei laughed and said, "How old is Lord Hou. I just think about it."
Liu Bang knew that Liu Bei was very strict with his morals. But since seeing the bridge sisters. He has trouble sleeping and eating. I had to stand up and said: "Foster father. You know. In the Hou Mansion. I don't even have a speaker."
Liu Bei was stunned suddenly. When in Xuzhou. You can at least discuss anything with Guan Yu and Jian Yong. Jian Yong is now dead. When Guan Yu saw him, it was like seeing a stranger. Isn't his own situation the same as Liu Bang? There is really no one who can talk in the mansion.
but. Liu Bei was just a dazed effort. The face returned to normal. Liu Bang fell in love with the young lady from Qiao Xuan's family. It gave Liu Bei a wake-up call. Liu Bei's current goal is obvious. It was after Liu Xin became the throne. Do your best to help Liu Bang become the crown prince. Liu Bei interacted with Sima Hui and the group of literati. Just to win over some allies. but. Looking at the current situation. The effect is not ideal. These people have little right to speak. There shouldn't be much effect in this matter.
Liu Bei suddenly thought of another way. That is to strengthen Liu Bang's strength through political marriage. Since it is a political marriage. The most important thing is the opponent's rank. On the contrary, appearance and character are second. Liu Bei couldn't help but waved his hand. Said: "Little Houye. Your troubles Liu can't be clearer. It's just a matter of marriage. The order of your parents. The matchmaker's words. Liu will definitely help you be the matchmaker. I just don't know what the lord means."
Liu Bang's face suddenly became bitter again. Sobbed: "My parents don't care about me at all. Even the kid Liu Yu dared to throw a fist at me. I was raised by a stepmother."
Liu Bei was taken aback. He hurriedly stopped: "Master Xiaohou. You can only say this in front of me. Don't dare to talk nonsense when you get out of this door."
Liu Bang nodded. Said: "I only dare to talk in front of the foster father. The foster father. This time you have to help me anyway."
In fact, Liu Bei's heart had already blossomed with joy. At least his first goal. The relationship between Liu Xin and Liu Bang is reached. And the progress seems to be more than that. The brotherhood between Liu Bang and Liu Yu also seemed to be separated.
but. Liu Bei put on the face of an elder on the surface. Consciously persuaded: "Little Hou Ye. After all. They are also your parents and brothers. You must continue to treat them with courtesy when you see them. I don't know."
Liu Bang pouted. Nodded vigorously. In fact, I don't think so.
Then Liu Bei slowly said, "Master Xiaohou. I don't like it. Liu thinks that the daughter of the Qiao family is not suitable for you. Liu will help you feature something better."
Liu Bang suddenly played a child's temper. Desperately shaking his arms and said: "No. I want Miss Bridge Family. I want Miss Bridge Family."
Liu Bei reassured and said: "Okay. Okay. Okay. Liu will fix a book now. Go and ask what the Qiao family means."
The bridge family has strength in Lujiang again. But it was just an ordinary gentry family. The clan is not prosperous. Absolute influence has no ability to influence the current situation. Not to mention the establishment of the crown prince. If you want to help Liu Bang. Only choose another family with strength to marry Liu Bang. Although Liu Bei had no goal in his mind. But he has long been concerned about it. Anyway, Liu Bang couldn't have the opportunity to confront Qiao Xuan. He wouldn't go to talk to the Qiao family about this marriage.
Liu Bei changed into an official uniform. Send Liu Bang back to Changlehou Mansion. He hurried out of Xiangyang City. This is his first time out of town in six months. He was anxious to see Chengyan Chengyan, Sima Hui and Pang De Gong. Don't look at these three old guys living in seclusion in the mountains all year round. But knows the world's general trend well. This matter is most appropriate to discuss with them.
When Liu Bei and Liu Bang first arrived in Xiangyang. The maids and servants in the mansion were all arranged by Jushou. But one year passed. Liu Bei made several excuses. Several batches of subordinates were rushed away one after another. Almost changed the subordinates in his mansion and Changlehou's mansion. He thought it was perfect. But he didn't know that the people he changed afterwards were personally hired from the market. In fact, he is still a phantom person. Because of Xiangyang city. The markets where people are bought and sold are all in Jushou's control.
Just when Liu Bei left Xiangyang City. The content of his conversation with Liu Bang has been placed on Liu Xin's desk.
