Xu Shu came to Xiangyang and did not suffer any difficulties... Of course, it was natural to treat him coldly.

In Jingzhou, there are many people who hate Liu Xie so much that they are itchy. And those who are willing to follow Liu Biao think that Liu Xie is a fake emperor. Even if Liu Xie is real, they can only think that he is fake. Who told their lords that Liu Xie is fake?

In this case, Liu Xie, the pseudo-emperor, sent an envoy to Jingzhou. If Jingzhou can be treated well, it would be a ghost.

Fortunately, Xu Shu has lived in Jingzhou for many years and has met many people, including Kuai Liang's eldest son Kuai Qi (some say he is Kuai Liang's younger brother, so let's take him as Kuai Liang's son!). Kuai Qi is also Liu Xie's brother-in-law because he took Zhu Ge's elder sister.

Speaking of which, Liu Xie and the Kuai family are somewhat related. In addition, Xu Shu and Kuai Qi know each other, the relationship becomes closer as soon as the relationship breaks.

The one who received Xu Shu happened to be Kuai Qi. From this we can see that Liu Biao had "exhausted" to choose this candidate.

Speaking of which, Xu Shu was the envoy of Liu Xie. Liu Biao asked Kuai Qi, a person with a small official position, to come to receive him, which was somewhat underestimated. But if you think about Kuai Qi's other identity, which is Liu Xie's brother-in-law, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, it's giving Xu Shu face!

However, Xu Shu was not confused about this place. When he saw that it was Kuai Qi coming to receive him, he couldn't help but chuckled. Until no one was around, he hugged Kuai Qi. "Boan (Kuai Qi's word, fabricated), are you okay?"

"Yuan Zhi is getting more and more elegant!" Kuai Qi laughed and said, "I heard that Yuan Zhi has become a navy military advisor in Yizhou!"

Xu Shu waved his hand and smiled, "The navy military advisor, to put it nicely, it's actually that way. The only thing worth pushing is that it's quite idle, of course, there's not much pressure. Bo'an should also know that your lord will not really use troops to Yizhou, right?"

Kuai Qi smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Sure enough, the lord’s policy has been guessed!

The geographical location of Jingzhou made Liu Biao unable to easily use troops to the outside world because Jiangdong was eyeing him! Moreover, Liu Biao himself did not have the ambition, otherwise he would not have watched the little overlord fight against Jiangdong at the beginning, but instead took the opportunity to expand outward in the name of his uncle!

Now that Liu Xie, the "crazy emperor", is in charge of Yizhou, he will not easily fight outside. When fighting Zhang Xiu, he was forced to do so. Who said that the territory occupied by Zhang Xiu was originally his! Although he is an alliance with Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao has already used troops to Zhang Xiu, so Jingzhou will naturally not provoke other enemies. As for stopping Lu Bu, Liu Biao just wanted to disgust Liu Xie.

Of course, it would be even better if Lu Bu could die and defect to Liu Xie. He didn't dare to use Lu Bu, but he didn't want Liu Xie to use it. And he knew that the little bully in Jiangdong also did not dare to use Lu Bu easily. Liu Xie, the only one who dared to use it, broke his face with him again.

"Actually, my father does not agree with the lord's actions!" Kuai Qi shook his head and sighed. As a minister of Liu Biao, Kuai Qi should not say such words. It is a violation of the superiors and disrespect. But Kuai Qi was not worried that Xu Shu would look down on him because they knew each other. "At this time, my Kuai family absolutely agreed to form an alliance with Your Majesty. There are already many enemies in Jingzhou. If there is another one..."

Hearing this, Xu Shu laughed, and the heart that had been slightly raised before was also relieved. From this, Xu Shu could tell that Liu Biao's current enemies are Cao Cao, and there may be Jiangdong Little Overlord. Cao Cao even joined forces with Jiangdong Little Overlord to put pressure on Jingzhou so that he could concentrate on solving the stubborn Zhang Xiu first. The Kuai family was also worried about this, so he disagreed with Liu Biao's offense at this time.

Since Lu Bu is so unbearable, let Lu Bu harm Liu Xie. Isn’t that better? Many people think so, but Liu Biao doesn’t think so. Because there are many people around Lu Bu who he wants to win! For example, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao…

Liu Biao’s idea is good, but his approach is simply afraid to look at it.

At the same time, Xu Shu also heard something from Kuai Qi's title of Liu Xie, that is, the Kuai family still recognized Liu Xie's orthodox status. Whether Kuai Qi originally called it like this or deliberately called it like this, it can be seen that the Kuai family did not want to turn against Liu Xie.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Although the Kuai family is a minister of Liu Biao, which aristocratic clan doesn't want to put eggs in different baskets? In this way, as long as one of them can stand out, their family will not be cut off because of this.

Just like the uncle and nephew of Xun Yu and Xun You, the strategist around Lao Cao, Xun Zhan, the uncle of Yuan Benchu, like Zhuge Xuan, the uncle of Zhuge's family...

Xu Shu smiled and said, "This is exactly the purpose of Shu coming here. When can Bo'an arrange it to let Shu see your lord!"

Kuai Qi smiled helplessly and said, "I will discuss the arrangements with my father for this matter, but Yuan Zhi must be mentally prepared. This matter cannot be that simple. Yuan Zhi is a sensible person, and his lord is not confused, but he is just being pushed by the Cai family, so he has no choice!"

Xu Shu laughed and said, "This Shu understands! Please try your best to make arrangements!"

The procrastination technique commonly used by Chinese officials in their affairs was a trick passed down by our ancestors. At this time, Liu Biao adopted this trick on Xu Shu.

First, it was cool and cold Xu Shu, because Xu Shu went out of Jingzhou, which made Liu Biao feel a little uncomfortable. Of course, the real reason would not and could not be because of this. Second, he wanted to continue to drag Lu Bu to let go of Liu Xie. In this way, Lu Bu would inevitably be shaken within him, and then his chance would come. This is the real reason for Liu Biao.

But Liu Biao obviously miscalculated because at this time, Lu Bu was still having fun! His dream of being a father-in-law!

"My minister Deng Zhi, please come to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Deng Zhi, the prefect of Badong County, ran directly to Linjiang County to welcome Liu Xie and his group of people.

"Deng Aiqing, please come up, everyone is calm!" Liu Xie dismounted, reached out to help him, and then started chatting with Deng Zhi. What he was talking about was naturally the big and small things about Badong County and the movements between the major tyrants. Putting Liu Bei in such an important place as Badong County, Liu Xie naturally needed to arrange more people to monitor him. Deng Zhi, the prefect of Badong County, was one of them. Liu Bei would never have expected that Deng Zhi was also in charge of surveillance.

However, Deng Zhi did not find any special features of Liu Bei, and he also cooperated with their actions very well. For example, when there were small barbarians in trouble, or when there were small thieves in the river, Gan Ning said, and Liu Bei cooperated with the face very much.

I have never heard of Liu Bei getting very close to any powerful people, but he often chooses some time to visit remote mountain villages.

Hearing this, Liu Xie frowned slightly and returned to normal. It is conceivable that Liu Bei is implementing his "benevolent government" and is winning people's hearts!

Seeing Liu Xie frowned, Deng Zhi suddenly whispered: "There is something that I don't know if I should say it!"

Liu Xie glanced at him and chuckled slightly, so Deng Zhi lowered his head and whispered: "I heard that many people in Ba County are thinking about the goodness of Duke Xuande. Although Duke Xuande said that the fields were all distributed to the people by Your Majesty, everyone should remember the goodness of Your Majesty. But someone pointed out in person that Your Majesty just wants to increase self-improvement farming, increase taxes, and support Your Majesty's external expansion..."

"Hmph!" Liu Xie gritted his teeth, snorted softly, and directly scared Deng Zhi's words. "Continue!"

"Yes! I visited the local people of Chibadong County more than two months ago. Everyone is actually thinking about His Majesty's goodness. I have never heard of strange words like the ones before. However, in the past month, such strange words have gradually spread in Badong County. I don't know who is secretly spreading..."

"Who is Deng Aiqing the most likely?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Deng Zhi shook his head and said, "I can't guess this. Because there may be too many surnames, and other princes have this possibility. Because of Your Majesty's rise, they feel scared. It is not without the surnames that want to destroy Your Majesty's foundation in this way!"

"But you just said that when someone was talking about me, he mentioned Xuandegong's goodness, didn't you?"

Deng Zhi gritted his teeth and nodded, "I am also very confused, but there is no conclusive evidence!"

Liu Xie nodded and said, "This is what happened in advance! I will send someone to investigate. Just pay more attention to Duke Xuande. After all, Ba County is behind Badong County. If he 'neglected' at a critical moment, then the trouble would not be small!"

Deng Zhi nodded, thought for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Since Your Majesty has doubts about Xuande Gong, why..."

Liu Xie glanced at Deng Zhi and scared Deng Zhi's words back. Others didn't know Liu Xie's bloody tricks, but Deng Zhi wouldn't know. When he was bloody and swept the Hanchang family, he not only saw it with his own eyes, but also participated in it!

"You just need to do what you should do!" Liu Xie said ignorantly, but after thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, let's not be an example! Let me tell you the reason this time! Although I can't trust him, I have to use him. Don't forget that he has two sworn brothers, which are worthy of my reverence!"

Deng Zhi knew that Liu Xie was talking about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but his intuition told him that in addition to this reason, there should be other reasons, such as Liu Xie could not destroy his reputation because Liu Bei came to surrender to his power in person. Before he made a mistake, Liu Xie would not be able to attack him.
