Liu Xie was stunned on the spot.

Not only Liu Xie, but even the smart Fu Shou of Bing Xue and the well-informed Huangfu Song were not shocked.

Liu Biao wants to transfer Su Zhe to Xiangyang, which even the blind can see that this is Su Zhe's life!

Just moments ago, in this main hall, they had a small tentative dispute over whether they should abandon Su Zhe.

Now, Su Zhe is standing here, claiming that he is willing to be transferred to Xiangyang and is willing to die.

There is no other reason, just to keep the Son of Heaven safe.

O great loyalist.

is simply a loyal minister who can no longer be loyal, such a loyal minister who is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to find a few people in the whole Han with a lantern.

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, but there was surprise in his eyes, and as soon as he was excited, he opened his mouth and wanted to agree.

Before he could say anything, Fu Shou suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, glared at him fiercely, and gave him an obvious hint.

Liu Xie grinned in pain and almost screamed, but Fu Shou quickly closed his mouth, not daring to squeak casually.

Fu Shou breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was glad that he stopped Liu Xie in time.

Then, a look of relief swelled up on her face, and she said loudly: "Su Qing would rather sacrifice herself to protect Your Majesty, this loyalty really moved Your Majesty and the palace, but Su Qing felt it, will Your Majesty allow a loyal minister like Su Qing to die in vain?" ”

Fushou is not allowed.

Su Zhe looked generous and insisted: "It is the duty of the minister to protect His Majesty, although he will not give up even if he dies, as long as he can protect His Majesty, what is the pity of sacrificing the minister." ”

"That's not going to work!" Fu Shou flicked his hand resolutely, "Your Majesty is a generation of virtuous monarchs, and you will never let your loyal ministers die, not to mention that Your Majesty also pointed to the talent of Wang Zuozhi like Su Qing to help the Han family, how could Su Qing be sacrificed in vain." ”

"But mother-"

Fu Shou interrupted him, and said resolutely with a glance: "Su Qing doesn't need to say any more, it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to agree to this matter, let's deal with it here." ”

As he spoke, Fu Shou secretly pinched Liu Xie's arm again and gave him a hint.

Although Liu Xie was reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Fu Shou's words, so he nodded and agreed: "What the queen means is what I mean, Su Qing, don't be obsessed with sending you to death." ”

Su Zhe's generous statement was blocked by the two emperors and queens, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, his expression was regretful and moved.

At that moment, he bowed his hand to the emperor and the queen, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you Your Majesty and Niangniang for your kindness to the minister, the minister must fight for this life, swear to protect Your Majesty and Niangniang to the death, and do your best for my Han, and die for yourself." ”

Su Zhe expressed his loyalty, and Liu Xie and Fu Shou also had to be extremely moved, and praised Su Zhe again.

A touching scene of the lord's loyalty was staged in this hall.

Huangfu Song, who was silent on the side, suddenly saw the doorway, and a trace of ironic sneer quietly passed the corner of his mouth.

After Su Zhe thanked him again, Huangfu Song said: "Since the Son of Heaven is benevolent and unwilling to sacrifice Lord Su, a loyal minister, Lord Su is not grateful here, but it is better to think about how to deal with the attack of Liu Biao's army." ”

"General Huangfu is right."

The look of gratitude on Su Zhe's face was replaced by confidence in a blink of an eye, and he sneered: "Although Liu Biao's soldiers and horses are numerous, they have to be dispersed and garrisoned, and key places such as Xiakou Jiangling must be guarded by heavy troops, and Xiangyang must also have enough soldiers and horses, so I estimate that Liu Biao can use the army of the northern invaders, at most, no more than 40,000." ”

Huangfu Song nodded and said: "It seems that Lord Su knows Liu Biao's strength very well, and he knows that the other side can survive a hundred battles, which Lord Su has done well, but even if Liu Biao can only mobilize 40,000 soldiers and horses, it is nearly five times our strength, which is still not to be underestimated." ”

"What General Huangfu said is, so I thought of three ways to deal with it, which can go hand in hand, so that Liu Biao will be arrogant and roll back to Xiangyang." Su Zhe's tone became more and more confident.

Huangfu Song's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "What is Su Qing's plan, tell me quickly." ”

Su Zhe said: "This first method is to ask General Huangfu to go north to the Central Plains immediately, rely on his prestige, recruit a loyal army as soon as possible, and come to help in the decisive battle, which will greatly enhance the strength of our army and give us a few more chances of winning." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song couldn't help but glance at the emperor and queen.

Previously, they had planned to let Huangfu Song recruit troops for the Son of Heaven, and they were worried that Su Zhe would be afraid of this, but they didn't expect Su Zhe to be so frank that he would take the initiative to bring it up.

"No problem, just leave it to me to recruit the righteous." Huangfu Song promised without thinking.

Su Zhe continued: "This second method is that once Liu Biao sends troops north, please ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan, ordering them to join forces to attack Liu Biao. ”

"The four counties of Jingnan are under Liu Biao's rule, will those Taishou respond to the edict of the Son of Heaven?" Huangfu Song questioned.

Su Zhe said with a smile: "General Huangfu has just arrived, and he still doesn't understand the situation in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is nominally Jingzhou Mu, but the core of the rule is in Nanjun and Jiangxia County, the four counties of Jingnan were only passed down at the beginning, and those Taishou are only nominally attached to Liu Biao, but in fact, they often obey Yin, if they get the edict of the Son of Heaven, even if they just wave the flag and shout, and do not move the real character, it is enough to contain Liu Biao's army in Jiangling and Xiakou, so that they dare not transfer out without authorization." ”

Su Zhe's words, everyone suddenly realized.

"It turns out that Jingzhou still has such an inside story, but it can indeed be used by us." Huangfu Song nodded, his expression suddenly solemnized, "These two methods can only be used as auxiliaries, if you want to really defeat Liu Biao, I am afraid that it depends on your last method." ”

Su Zhe took a light breath and said lightly: "Whether it is a conspiracy or a side attack, the real decision is still a head-to-head confrontation, this last method is that I will lead the Nanyang soldiers to give Liu Biao a head-on blow in the front, and kill him until he regrets offending His Majesty." ”

After hearing Su Zhe's last words, the hall fell silent, and everyone stopped talking.

After a while, Fu Shoufang asked, "Su Qing, are you really sure to defeat Liu Biao head-on?" ”

"Liu Biao is a person who is dragging his feet, even if he wants to send troops, he will hesitate for a long time, by that time, the minister is ready, Liu Biao dares to come, he will definitely be defeated!"

In the last four words, Su Zhe was categorical, revealing strong self-confidence, as if everything was under his control.

In the main hall, there was silence again.

Huangfu Song's eyes looked at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie's eyes looked at Fu Shou.

Fu Shou's gaze always wandered on Su Zhe's body, and finally fell on those confident and calm eyes.

Looking at each other, that look made Fu Shou feel a trace of unprecedented relief.

After taking a light breath, Fu Shou said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then Your Majesty and the palace will fully support Su Qing, and the palace still says the same thing, the life of Your Majesty and the palace, and the safety of the Han family, will all be handed over to Su Qing, you must not let us down!" ”
