Lu Su tried the bow, took the arrow, pulled it hard, aimed a little, and let out a loosening of the string.
The bowstring vibrated, and with a "buzzing" sound, the arrow had penetrated a large shield sixty steps away.
The shield was shot out of a hole as big as a fist, and the arrow pierced into the soil more than ten steps behind the hole, and the arrow feathers trembled and remained uninterrupted for a long time.
"Cai!" Liu Xie was the first to applaud and slapped his palms twice. "What a strong power."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Su held the bow and bowed to Liu Xie.
"The step shooting is very good, how about riding shooting?"
Lu Su was a little embarrassed. "It's okay to ride and shoot, but it's not as accurate as possible."
Liu Xie nodded, then smiled and said, "Liangzhou is not short of horses. Zijing can choose two horses as mounts later. If you practice more, you will naturally improve." As he said that, he took a bow and took an arrow.
Shoot out with an arrow.
The arrow passed through the hole of the shield and hit the arrow shot by Lu Su, slashing the arrow feathers in half.
Lu Su's eyes shrank slightly, and then he praised. "Your Majesty's shooting skills are so accurate, I feel ashamed of myself."
Liu Xie smiled slightly. "I don't have your power, I can only hit eight or nine out of ten within sixty or seventy steps. If it is farther, it won't work. Many heroes of the great man, and the one who is the most skilled in riding and shooting is the wolf cavalry and Wen Hou.
Sanqi left governor. If you have time, you might as well discuss with them."
"Here." Lu Su was happy in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.
"In front of the emperor, we should be called Wei." Xiahou Chong reminded seriously.
Lu Su blushed and hurriedly thanked again. "Wei."
"Zi Jing is a new arrival and is not familiar with the etiquette of the court, which is understandable." Liu Xie waved his hand and then said to Liu Ye. "Zi Yang, what are your special skills? Why not show it to me."
Before Liu Ye could speak, he smiled and said, "I heard that your swordsmanship is very good. I once killed Zheng Bao with my hands."
Seeing Liu He by his side, Liu Ye didn't think too much and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is a mischievous one, I am ashamed of you. Zheng Bao is just a bandit, it's not surprising. Your Majesty has many masters around him, but I am afraid of sword skills.
It cannot be seen, but I have a sword in my heart, which may help Your Majesty with one arm."
Liu Xie laughed.
He knew that Liu Ye was smart and conceited, and now he saw it, he was indeed well-known. However, Liu Ye refused to show his martial arts skills, so he naturally saw that the arrow he had just made was so exquisite that he dared not show his ugly face, so he simply hid his weakness.
It is enough to let them know that there are people who are doing things and don’t take too high self-esteem.
"You are here just in time. There is one thing that I am trying to discuss with someone." Liu Xie said.
He is considering the situation in Xuzhou and the entire Shandong. Lu Su and Liu Xie, two strategic experts who understand the situation in Shandong, came too timely.
"I wish to serve Your Majesty." Lu Su and Liu Ye bowed and bowed.
Liu Xie held a simple banquet to welcome Lu Su and Liu Ye. At the banquet, he asked about the situation in Xuzhou, told them the news he had received recently, and asked them whether Liu Bei could defend Xuzhou.
Liu Ye pondered for a moment. "Does Your Majesty have confidence in Xuzhou's governor Liu Bei?"
Liu Xie did not directly answer Liu Ye, he really had no confidence in Liu Bei. "I promised him to reward him for restoring his clan family."
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and said, "Even if Liu Bei fights to the death, I don't think he can defend Xuzhou. There are three reasons: Liu Bei is brave but not good at using troops, and has no counselors around him. This is one of them. Since the Yellow Turbans,
Xuzhou suffered repeated disasters, and the household registration was severely damaged, and the manpower and material resources could not be fought against Jizhou. This is the second. The Xuzhou clan supported Liu Bei, who wanted to seize the country, but did not really take Liu Bei as the main focus. He probably could not fight to the death for Liu Bei.
The third is. If there are these three, I think Xuzhou will definitely be lost.”
Liu Xie blinked, speechless for a moment.
He also felt that Liu Bei could not defend Xuzhou, but there was still some hope. After hearing Liu Ye's words, he knew that that little hope was also unreal. Unless an accident occurs, Liu Bei could not defend Xuzhou at all.
Liu Ye said again: "However, if Yuan Shao gets Xuzhou, it may not be a good thing."
“Why?”
"There are two reasons." Liu Ye raised two fingers. "One is that although Yuan Shao is famous, he has no ability to make decisions and has a heavy factional conflict. The people of Ruying and Jizhou are fighting each other, and Yuan Shao is hesitant and unable to decide. In addition, Xuzhou is also in the process of fighting.
People will only be more chaotic. Compared with the Ruying people who have many counselors but no troops, the Xuzhou people have troops available, which poses a greater threat to the Jizhou people, so the contradictions will be greater."
Liu Xie suddenly realized, put a big stone in his heart, and signaled Liu Ye to continue.
"Jizhou has the legacy of Yan and Zhao, and the people are martial, fierce and fierce, and they would rather bend than bend. Xuzhou has many barbarians, who are light on cunning and deceitful, and are clever and more capable than change. Seeing that Yuan Shao is powerful, the people of Xuzhou will bow their heads and give up their rulings, but will shirke the blame on the sending troops.
When Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought against Huaiyin, people in Xuzhou often watched the wall. To support Chen Deng, not Liu Bei. I thought that after returning to Yuan, it was not the case."
"Is that true?" Liu Xie looked at Liu He.
Liu He nodded embarrassedly. "Although Ziyang is a bit exaggerated, it is roughly not bad."
"Then... will Chen Deng serve Yuan Shao?" Liu Xie asked again: "If Yuan Shao envoys Chen Deng to command Xuzhou soldiers and command Jizhou soldiers and go south with two routes, wouldn't Jiujiang be dangerous? Yuan Shao got the queen of Yan, Yuqing, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
And how will you choose?”
"I don't think Chen Deng will have a chance to lead the army." Liu Ye said confidently: "Even if Yuan Shao is willing, Shen Pei is not willing."
"How can I see it?"
"There are three reasons. I dare to represent the three of them." Liu Ye raised his three fingers and said with a smile: "Zang Ziyuan, Liu Gongheng, and finally Chen Yuanlong himself."
After a moment of thinking, Liu Xie understood what Liu Ye meant.
Zang Hong and Liu He have worked with Yuan Shao, and Zang Hong even led heavy troops, but Zang Hong also had the greatest impact. With these two examples in front of him, and with Chen Deng's own ability, Yuan Shao is unlikely to be able to do so again.
Repeated the same mistake, and Shen Pei and others will use this as a reason to try their best to prevent Chen Deng from leading the troops, forming internal confrontations and separating military power.
Yan Liang had already controlled Lujiang, and Yuan Shu was alone, fish swimming under the cauldron. Why did Shen Pei give this credit to Chen Deng?
He nodded secretly.
Liu Ye is worthy of being a strategic expert. Before Yuan Shao took over Xuzhou, he has already analyzed the situation Yuan Shao is about to face clearly. He said that he has a treasure knife in his heart, but it is not entirely a bragging.
"Then how will Liu Biao choose?"
Liu Ye was silent for a moment, raised his eyelids again, and looked at Liu Xie. "Your Majesty said just now, may you be rewarded with the restoration of the clan and encourage Liu Bei to fight to the death?"
Liu Xie nodded.
"If Liu Biao is willing to surrender, will His Majesty pardon his fault?"
"You mean that Liu Biao has not made any statement for a long time, is he worried that I will pursue his fault?"
"Forgive me, I said frankly that Liu Biao was elegant and generous, and could be a three-monarch in a peaceful life, but he was not a talent of a overlord. In the chaotic world, he could protect the country and the people and not forget to teach etiquette and righteousness, which shows the true nature of a scholar. If he said he had a disobedient person, he would not forget to teach.
My heart, I think it is untrue."
Liu Ye left the seat and bowed solemnly. "Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Shandong has fought for years, with white bones exposed in the wild, and the people have lived in more than one hundred people. Only Jingzhou is stable, the people can live in peace, and etiquette and morality can be endless.
.If Your Majesty can pardon Liu Biao with an edict and summon him to the court, Jingzhou will be spared from a war and millions of people will rely on it to survive. This is a great merit."
