Under the moonlight, Xu Fu and Gao Shi sat opposite each other in the courtyard of the post house, drinking and chatting.

Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Xu Fu said: "I have seen many things in Xiangyang City these past two days that I have never seen before. Wang Xiaolie's governance has never been seen in other places. The most rare thing is

The government has sufficient money and materials, but the burden on the people is not heavy."

Gao Shize said: "I can't understand this the most. There are countless things in the world. If the government gets more, the people should naturally have less. How come here in Xiangyang, the government makes a lot of money, but the people can still be so rich?"

Xu Fu was silent for a while and then said: "I'm afraid, there are not many things in the world. If we dig deeper into this matter, it's a bit profound, so we don't need to think too much about it. When we go back this time, we must answer a question from the emperor, which is Wang Xiaolie's support

Not reliable."

Gao Shi thought for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It seems that these days, it seems that Wang Xiaolie has a disobedient heart, but that's not the case. But if he says that he has any respect for the imperial court, that's not necessarily the case."

.This question is really difficult to answer.”

Xu Fu said: "The officials once said that Wang Xiaolie wanted to go against heaven by doing this. Now it seems that the officials have a much further perspective than us. Wang Xiaolie may not have disobedient intentions, but he is

The imperial court was not in awe either. The one who was not in awe was not the current emperor, but the entire imperial court. Compared with other vassal towns that guarded one side, Wang Xiaolie was not considered a rebel. But if the imperial court could use its fingers like an arm, I'm afraid it was not.

Can't do it."

Having said this, Xu Fu shook his head slightly and said no more.

In ordinary vassal towns, even if they rebel, Zhao Gou may not be very afraid. As long as the power is not large, or they send troops to suppress it, or use official money to buy it, they can always solve it. But like Wang Xiaolie, even if he does not rebel, Zhao Gou will not

Won't like it.

To survive in this troubled world, Zhao Gou is a man of long sleeves and good at dancing. He treats his subordinates with both grace and power, and his kindness is greater than his power. Most of his ministers and generals are grateful to Zhao Gou and are loyal. It is only Zhao Gou's

His vision is very problematic, and most of the people he admires fail to live up to his expectations. After all, Zhao Gou is such a person, and of course what he admires is those who are similar to himself.

Xu Fu knew that Wang Xiaolie was not only not appreciated by Zhao Gou, but also hated him very much. As long as there was a chance, Zhao Gou would definitely seize his military power without hesitation and put it aside. He would even provoke him and take it.

It is not unusual for Wang Xiao to take his life.

The two sat in silence for a long time before Xu Fu said: "Based on our knowledge, it is difficult to tell clearly who Wang Xiaolie is. This time we go back and report the truth truthfully. How to deal with it will of course be decided by the Holy One."

Gao Shi nodded and suddenly said: "We are here to ask Wang Xiaolie to go to the palace. But Wang Xiaolie doesn't want to go. What should we do? The general is out with his troops and doesn't want to go to the palace.

, has always been a taboo for the imperial court!"

Xu Fu said: "Looking at Wang Xiaolie's appearance, he won't be able to go back to his hometown. What can be done? Let's see how the court handles it."

After saying that, Xu Fu raised his head and faced the breeze.

At this time, as a general who leads troops, it is a very bad tendency to be unwilling to go to the palace. Qu Duan was in Shaanxi, holding a heavy army, and the court asked him to go to the palace several times. This aroused the suspicion of the officials, and many people said that he wanted to go to the palace.

On the contrary, later Zhang Jun went to Shaanxi and had a bad relationship with Qu Duan, which should be part of the reason. Fuping was defeated, and Zhang Jun put the blame on Qu Duan and finally took his life.

Wang Xiaolie was unwilling to go to the palace, which made Xu Fu very disappointed. For such a good general to lose the trust of the court, it is definitely not a blessing to the world.

Zhao Gou is not a crazy person. With Wang Xiaolie's current status, even if he goes to work, Zhao Gou will only comfort him with gentle words and get promoted. What else will he do? Seize Wang Xiaolie's soldiers? There is no Wang Xiaolie here in Xiangyang.

, who can come to calm the situation?

Wang Xiaolie managed Xiangyang in an orderly manner. Why can't you understand this? With the support of the imperial court, Wang Xiaolie can fully express his ambition and have great potential. If he loses the trust of the imperial court, he will suffer in the future.

Gao Shi was Zhao Gou's confidant. He was not sorry for Wang Xiaolie, but worried about the imperial court. In the past few days, it seems that Xiangyang is different from other places and has strong strength. I didn't see Xiangyang's soldiers, but they were able to defeat the Jin army in a row. I think so.

His fighting power is not weak. In addition, he has enough money and food. If he has a disobedient heart, he will definitely be a big trouble for the court in the future. With a hundred thousand soldiers, no one in the world can deal with him now.

Wang Xiaolie has watched a lot of movies and TV shows in his previous life, so he doesn’t think that a hundred thousand soldiers are anything. In movies and TV shows, there is always an army of one million, and a hundred thousand soldiers are just small minions. Only in this world can we understand that a hundred thousand soldiers are nothing.

A heavy army, as long as it is water-free, is a force that can control the world. Someone who can defeat an army of 100,000 people at once is definitely a very important force in the world.

With a hundred thousand troops stationed away from Xiangyang, under the current situation, unless the Jin army comes in full force, there will still be a fight between the two sides. As for Zhao Gou, adding all his current troops together, there is nothing he can do to Wang Xiaolie. Let him go to the palace.

, what does Zhao envision?

In the next few days, Xu Fu and Gao Shi were wandering around Xiangyang. Sometimes Chen Yuyi came to accompany them, and most of the time, Cui Qing was with them. As long as they did not leave Xiangyang City, Wang Xiaolie did not restrict the two of them, and they could see whatever they wanted.

What to look at.

Seeing that it was June, Xu Fu and Gao Shi visited Xiangyang and prepared to return. After Wang Xiaolie got the news, he prepared a banquet and entertained the two of them in the courtyard of his residence.

There is no moon in the sky, only stars all over the sky. The sky is deep and distant. There is already a coolness in the wind, blowing down from the treetops.

Sitting under the sycamore tree, Wang Xiaolian asked, "How are you two doing in Xiangyang these days?"

Xu Fu said: "Thanks to Commander Jie for the hospitality, it was very nice."

According to common sense, when the imperial envoy arrived, Wang Xiaolie should accompany him. Even if he couldn't be with him every day, he should always inquire about it. As a result, Wang Xiaolie just let Chen Yuyi accompany him, and he ignored him for many days, which was really not considered important.

However, as high officials in the feudal town and important figures in the world, Xu Fu and the two could not complain.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiaoxing said: "You two should go through Ezhou when you go back. The place now occupied by Kong Yanzhou is quite chaotic, and it is really hard to say. I have asked you to take some gifts with you. If you go to Ezhou, will it happen?

Will he be detained by Kong Yanzhou?"

Xu Fu said: "When we came, the Holy Master ordered us to go to the palace to see the Holy Spirit. If Commander Jiezhi goes with us, even if Kong Yanzhou dares to stop us, it would be better if we send troops from Xiangyang to escort us along the way."

Wang Xiaolie said: "To the north of me are the two capitals, where we face the Jin army. How can we get away from it? Look, it's autumn, and there are reports that the puppet Qi Liu Yu may send troops to attack Ruzhou, so we have to be on guard."

"What a pity." Xu Fu sighed and never mentioned the matter again.

It can be seen that Wang Xiaolie has no intention of going to the palace, and talking too much is just annoying.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "It's hard to live with poplars in Dongting Lake. After thinking about it, I'm afraid I can't get around Ezhou. How about this, I'll write a letter to Kong Yanzhou and see if he can give me some face. If so.
