Liu Rui walked into the study quietly and saw Sun Ce kneeling on the ground. When she walked next to him, she couldn't help but kick him secretly. No matter how hard she tried, she would still be able to kick Sun Ce.
It was almost like tickling. As expected, Sun Ce didn't make a sound or even move his body.
Naturally, these little tricks of hers could not be hidden from Liu Xin's eyes. Liu Xin already understood that Sun Ce was probably not lying, so her face darkened and she said, "Rui'er, do you know this person?"
Liu Rui lowered her head, deliberately looked at Sun Ce carefully, said "Oh" with a smile, and said, "It's you..."
After hearing this, Sun Ce was overjoyed. He could finally wash away his grievances. He immediately relaxed. Suddenly he felt a pain in his waist and was kicked by Liu Rui again.
But Liu Rui shook his head and said with a blank look on his face: "I don't know you!"
Sun Ce was shocked and said repeatedly: "Miss, take a closer look, I am the person you captured just now!"
Liu Rui pouted her little mouth and said disdainfully: "Look carefully again? What's so good about you? Are there flowers on your face? You don't even speak through your brain. I, a weak woman with no hands, can catch it."
You're a grown man? If this is the case, what's the use of being a personal guard? Who can you protect?"
Sun Ce was snatched away by Liu Rui like a barrage, and he was choked and speechless. But he heard Liu Xin shout in a deep voice: "Rui'er! Kneel down!"
Liu Xin was really angry this time. It can be said that he spent all his efforts on the issue of Sun Ce. He finally managed to win over all the people in the Sun family. Even Sun Ce's ambition was eliminated, but he almost failed.
It was ruined in the hands of Liu Rui. Just now, Liu Xin was a little unsure about whether Sun Ce really returned home, and almost had the idea of killing him. Thinking of this, Liu Xin even sweated, and she lost all hope for Liu Rui.
The good face of the past.
Liu Rui knelt down very reluctantly and muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing so loudly? You just teased a soldier. What's the big deal? He fell behind first. I'm just helping you reorganize the team."
That’s all.”
Liu Xin's ear power is amazing. Although her voice is small, it reaches Liu Xin's ears clearly every word. This further proves that what Sun Ce said is the truth. Liu Xin can't help but feel angry, "Huo"
He stood up, picked up the paperweight on the table, and raised his hand to smash it at Liu Rui.
But I heard a voice behind me say slowly: "Husband, what's worth making such a fuss about, and why do you want to hit someone?"
When Liu Xin turned around to look, it was Ma Yun who suddenly walked into the study from the back door. It turned out that Zhu Qian felt a little uneasy when she saw Liu Xin calling Liu Rui over. Although she usually disciplines her daughter harshly, she doesn't
As doting as Liu Xin is, after all, it is the flesh that falls from her body, and her love for her daughter is buried deep in her heart. Furthermore, Liu Rui is not Liu Xin's biological child, and Zhu Qian cannot guarantee how Liu Xin will treat her.
, in desperation, he went to ask Ma Yun, and Ma Yun came over in a hurry.
Ma Yun snatched the paperweight from Liu Xin's hand and looked up. She felt angry and funny. He actually made Liu Rui and a personal guard kneel there side by side. How inappropriate was it to spread such a situation? Wait until she sees it clearly.
I couldn't help but be shocked by the appearance of the personal guard, and asked sharply: "Sun Ce! When did you become a personal guard?"
Liu Xin secretly yelled that she couldn't hide this matter anymore, so she had to deliberately say: "Rui'er, Sun Ce, you all get up first. By the way, I forgot to ask about this, Sun Ce, how did you become a personal guard?
?”
Although Xu Chu looked rough, he was not stupid. He had already heard the meaning of Liu Xin's words. It seemed that he had to bear the blame, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Back to my lord, Sun Ce was selected after the training of new recruits.
For those who enter the Feihu Guards, the entire process is handled in accordance with the regulations, and there is absolutely no special treatment. During this period of time, Sun Ce has been quite satisfactory in terms of training, duty, etc."
Sun Ce just has a bad temper, but he is actually very smart. At this time, how can he still not understand why Xu Chu and Liu Xin were so harsh to him at the beginning? Naturally, they are worried that he has other intentions. Don't say it.
He has long since given up on fighting for hegemony. Even if he still has that desire, seeing Liu Xin's delicate daughter standing next to him will make him short of breath.
After thinking about this clearly, Sun Ce did not hesitate at all. He took two steps forward, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed three times, and said seriously: "My lord, my mistress, I, Sun Ce, have done many things that I'm sorry for you in the past."
, I have suddenly woken up. I solemnly swear here today that from now on, Sun Ce will only obey the Lord and be loyal throughout his life. If there is even the slightest dissent, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Liu Xin actually believed that Sun Ce would never rebel again, but he was still unsure about Ma Yun's attitude, so he couldn't help but turn around and look at Ma Yun.
But she saw that Ma Yun had already stepped forward, helped Sun Ce up, and said: "Sun Ce, it doesn't matter whether you swear or not, but there is one sentence that you must keep in mind. God is watching what you do! Anyone who can live up to himself must do it.
Conscience, you must think of the people of the world! Sun Ce, it is indeed a bit unfair for you to be only a personal guard."
Liu Xin knew how much Ma Yun hated Han Dang for kidnapping Liu Yu. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to forgive Sun Ce. It was so unexpected. She quickly winked at Sun Ce and said, "Sun Ce, why don't you thank me soon?"
Madam, it seems that I have to move your position for you."
Seeing that Sun Ce was about to kneel down again, Ma Yun quickly waved her hand and said: "Sun Ce, you don't need to thank me. If you want to get ahead, you have to rely on your own efforts and work hard for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Rui said softly behind him: "Kneel down at every turn, there is no future!"
No matter how soft her voice was, it could not escape Liu Xin's ears. Just now, Liu Xin's attention had been on Sun Ce and he ignored her for a moment. However, he was reminded by her words and his face darkened again and he said: "
Rui'er, I didn't have time to teach you a lesson. You were still talking too much. You caused this incident today for no reason..."
Ma Yun was entrusted by Zhu Qian today to protect Liu Rui. She had already interrupted him and said: "Okay, I can only blame you for being too spoiled to her. I will handle the internal matters.
Well, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Seeing Ma Yun leading Liu Rui behind, Liu Xin could only shake her head helplessly. Ju Shou and Xu Chu both covered their mouths and snickered. Liu Xin glared at them fiercely and said, "Sun Ce, you can't reach this level without taking small steps."
Qianli, I am confident in your ability, but you still have to go step by step, and don't think about reaching the sky in one step. In this way, this year's recruitment of new recruits has just ended, you first become a school captain and serve as an instructor in the recruit camp for three months."
Sun Ce was secretly happy and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Thank you so much, my lord! But there is still something unclear. This year's recruitment of new soldiers. I didn't see any news about this in the newspapers. Why did it end so suddenly?"
Liu Xin was a little surprised. In his impression, Sun Ce was brave and strong, but acted rashly. Government affairs was not his strong point, so why would he care about newspapers? If it had been Sun Quan, there would be no doubt, so he said:
"Sun Ce, do you often read newspapers?"
Sun Ce said sheepishly: "Back to my lord, except for the first issue, I haven't finished reading every other issue. In fact, I mainly wanted to read the "Journey to the West" and just browsed the other contents.
I didn’t read it carefully.”
Liu Xin listened to Sun Ce's honesty and secretly glanced at Jushou. Seeing that he was also smiling, she nodded and said, "Sun Ce, you have nothing to do with me here. You go to the recruit training camp and report to Wu Yi. Do your best. Three
There will be other arrangements in a few months. Remember, as a strong soldier, keeping secrets is the most basic duty."
Looking at Sun Ce's hurried away figure, Liu Xin laughed. He would add another strong general to his command. As for the news that there was no recruitment news in the newspaper, that was natural, because after more than a year, Guanghan, Shu County, etc.
The people of the land have fully recognized Liu Xin's rule, and there is no need for special propaganda to recruit enough soldiers. Of course, these things do not need to be explained to Sun Ce.
The propaganda tool of newspapers is actually a double-edged sword, because it is publicly distributed and can promote policies to the greatest extent and win people's hearts. However, if it is not handled well, it can also easily leak some secrets. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger of a hundred battles. This is what Sun Tzu said.
Which prince from all over the world doesn’t know the military secrets that have been passed down since the Spring and Autumn Period? The information recorded in such a publicly distributed newspaper must be much more than the intelligence collected by the spies they sent. Naturally, it will be
They serve as important tools for understanding Liu Xin's movements.
However, the princes did not know that this newspaper was originally a public opinion tool published by Liu Xin. Of course, the content on it must serve Liu Xin's needs. It is inevitable that there will be some fiction and some truth, some truth and some falsehood. For example, this year's recruitment, the newspaper
I haven't seen any news on it, but some time ago, there were full pages in several consecutive issues promoting Liu Xin's benevolent government and the beginning of large-scale disarmament. This is corroborated by the fact that a large number of armors, swords and guns were delivered to the warehouse some time ago.
The princes were convinced and gradually relaxed their vigilance against Liu Xin. Moreover, Liu Xin's five legions had always been mobilized frequently, and the princes had no idea how strong Liu Xin was.
After several back and forths like this, Liu Xin has basically completed the deployment of his troops and is making final preparations for the crusade against Dong Zhuo. A total of 180,000 people from the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fifth Army have quietly gathered in Guanghan, ready to attack at any time
They can launch an attack on Hanzhong. Zhao Yun's fourth army is stationed in Nanyang, keeping an eye on the movements of the Xiliang army in Wuguan. Zhang He's third army is stationed in Nanxiang, Yingchuan, and Jiangxia counties, and Yiqueguan is more
It is the focus of the defense of the Third Army. Zhang Ren has been appointed as the deputy commander of the Third Army, leading 20,000 people to be stationed there all year round. Zoke County is completely handed over to Feng Lie's barbarian army for defense. There are local barbarians
With the support of various ministries, there should be no need to worry about the four Nanzhong counties causing rebellion in the rear.
After the army deployment is completed, Xiangyang will be arranged again. When spring comes next year, the flag can be raised high and troops can be used against Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xin was sitting at her desk, thinking about how to stabilize the rear area of Xiangyang. Cheng Yu hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Liu Hao is dead."
