Chapter 124: Return to Jingzhou

Arrived in Zhuo County. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Bo, Liu Gong and others came to greet them. Liu Bei stayed at Gongsun Zhan's place for another day. He was tossing and turning outside. The family is also thanks to Gongsun Zhan's care. Gongsun Chan has been in office for a long time and has made remarkable achievements. I heard that it was going to be moved soon. As for where to go, no one knew until he received the edict from the Son of Heaven.

On the second day, all the way to Lousangli, countless people came out to greet them. Liu Bei saw his mother and wife standing in front at a glance. The joy in my heart was indescribable, and as soon as my legs clamped the horse's belly, the man rushed over like a whirlwind.

Before getting close, he turned over and dismounted to meet his mother Liu. Mother Liu's tears were vertical and horizontal, she helped Liu Bei up, looked at her son, who was darker but stronger, and trembled her lips, but she didn't know what to say.

Back home, Liu Bei looked at the little man shrunk behind Lu Hang, his heart was very happy, he opened his hands, and said, "Qiqi, come, let Father hug!" ”

When the little guy heard Liu Bei's voice, he swooped and hid his little head behind his mother. Lu Heng smiled like water, gently pulled her daughter out, and said with a smile: "Qiqi, haven't you been shouting for Father?" Behold, your father has returned, why should he hide it? "The day the little guy was born, it happened to be the seventh day of the first month, Lu Heng asked Liu Bei to name it, Liu Bei thought about it for a long time with great interest, and had a headache, so he first took the little girl's nickname, and called it the seventh day of the first month, and then Lu Xuan disagreed, so he called it Qiqi.

Under the gentle eyes of his mother and Liu Bei, Qiqi finally walked up to Liu Bei timidly and called softly: "Father!" Liu Bei hugged him. Living in this small and soft body, he said happily: "Good boy! Qiqi is really good! ”

Maybe it was the blood connection, Qiqi seemed to feel the joy in Liu Bei's heart, so he shouted loudly: "Father!" ”

Liu Bei agreed repeatedly. After a while, the father and daughter were already very familiar with each other. Liu Bei is even more of a daughter. Ride. On his shoulder, he carried her several laps. When it was time to eat, Qiqi refused to get off Liu Bei.

In the evening, after coaxing Qiqi to rest, Liu Bei and his wife naturally reunited after a long absence, but there were countless victories in the world. When Liu Bei got up in the morning, he felt refreshed, and when he saw everything, he felt that it was beautiful.

In the spring and January of the third year of Zhongping, Liu Bei endured reluctance and left Lousang. He didn't dare to look back, afraid of seeing the tears in the eyes of his mother and beloved wife, and afraid of seeing Qiqi's voice crying and calling out to his father. Born in troubled times, men should be rampant in the world. The love of children is long, so put it aside for the time being.

Liu Beifang went to Chang'an and saw Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen greeted him with a big smile and said: "Xuande Zhengmen Lixue, true wind. Elegant. Things also. ”

Liu Bei was stunned, why did it reach Zhang Wen's ears so quickly? He didn't know that the disciples of Zheng Xuanmen came from all over the world, like Qinghe Cui Yan and others, and they were all high-ranking eunuchs in the past dynasties. A person who respects his teacher and respects his way will be praised by everyone no matter when and where, let alone in Liu Bei, a celebrity? So everyone took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go back and talk about it. In an instant, it spread everywhere......

I met with everyone, chatted in the audience, and asked about this year's planning strategy. Everyone said so, Zhang Wen only listened silently, and smiled and held rounds of persuasion. Host and guest alike.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei said: "Ming Gong, if you want to calm the thieves in Liangzhou today, I think that you must be a person who is familiar with the affairs of Liangzhou." If Ming Gong gets these two people, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other thieves can be destroyed with a snap of their fingers. ”

Liu Bei's voice fell, and everyone was surprised. Liu Bei snorted angrily when he heard it. looked in the direction where the voice came, but it was Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying. He was looking at himself with an unhappy face. Liu Bei was dumbfounded, his heart accidentally injured Dong Zhongying, can't you see that he is still a glass heart?

I saw Zhang Wen and said, "Who is this, who is so respected by Xuande?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The former Liang Governor Shi Gaixun Gai Yuangu, Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie Fu Nanrong. Both of them are loyal and loyal to the martyrs, and they have been in Liangzhou for a long time and are proficient in military affairs. If Ming Gong gets these two people, he will be like a tiger with wings! ”

Although Zhang Wen heard the name of Gai Xun, he had never seen this person. As for Fu Nanrong, he still knows that he followed Huangfu Song to fight for the Yellow Turban, repeatedly made military exploits, and beheaded several famous generals, which is indeed a rare talent. If he hadn't offended the eunuchs, he wouldn't have been sent out of Liangzhou.

With Liu Bei and Fu Xie as the foundation, Zhang Wen couldn't help but be curious about Gai Xun. If the heart is really as Xuande said, Gai Xun and Fu Xie know the situation in Liangzhou well, then with the help of these two people, it is indeed easy to break the traitor.

So Zhang Wen smiled and said: "According to Xuande's words, the old man will send an edict to recruit the two of them." If the matter in Liangzhou is decided, a certain person will not dare to forget Xuande's contribution today. ”

Liu Bei bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Serving the country, how dare you take credit?" ”

A few days later, the news came that Fu Xie was too obedient to Hanyang and Zhang Wenjun to join the military. As for Gai Xun, because of the extreme unreliability of the previous assassins, he rarely vomited, abandoned his official position and went home to live in seclusion.

Gaixun Dunhuang people, thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Those who want to find him are afraid that it will take a while.

But there's no need to rush, you can start preparing for the preliminary work. The weather has been nice lately. It's still a little cold, but there's no bad weather like rain or snow. As for the snow that has not melted, and the army is outside, this difficulty cannot be overcome, how to fight.

At the beginning of February, just when the army was ready to open and re-enter Liangzhou. An edict came quickly: Jiangxia Zhao Ci rebelled, the three counties of Kouluo, Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie raised troops to recruit Zhao Ci, and unfortunately died in battle. Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Min and others led troops to quell the chaos, but they were repelled by Zhao Ci one by one. The imperial court thought that Liu Bei had been in Jingzhou for a long time and had prestige. So Liu Bei led his troops south to Jingzhou to crusade against Zhao Ci.

Liu Bei was messy at that time, Jingzhou was fine, why did Zhao Ci come out again? Open the map again, and the closest to Nanyang are Si Li and the three auxiliary elite soldiers. Among them, only he has been in Jingzhou for a long time. No wonder you have to transfer yourself. Alas, what is this called, and I wonder if I can end the matter in Liangzhou this year. As a result, there was another such thing.

Before leaving, Liu Bei expressed his concern to Zhang Wen: "Ming Gong, if you go, our army will ...... in terms of strength" Liu Bei was embarrassed to say that as soon as he left, the combat effectiveness of the Han army would be much less. can only be said in half without revealing it.

Zhang Wen is also a human spirit, so he naturally knows what Liu Bei wants to say, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Xuande, don't worry, the old man has reported to the Son of Heaven and transferred Wuhuan Turquoise from Youzhou to help in the battle." No matter how brave the Liangzhou cavalry is, it is slightly inferior to the Wuhuan Xiao cavalry. Xuande and peace of mind to go south, hahahahaha! ”

After Liu Bei listened, he looked at Zhang Wen with a smug smile. I thought, could this be providence? Liu Bei remembered that it was the imperial court that requisitioned the Wuhuan cavalry to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion and made Gongsun Zan a general, but as a result, the Yuyang people and the adults of the Wuhuan Department colluded with each other, and at the same time rebelled, which made Youzhou unsafe. It wasn't until a few years later, when Liu Yu went to Youzhou, that the situation stabilized.

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and then said: "Duke Ming, the Wuhuan cavalry is unruly and untamable......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Wen and said: "Xuande, don't worry, the old man has his own plans." ”

Seeing that Zhang Wen's tone was not salty or light, Liu Bei instantly understood, Zhang Wen offered advice to recruit Wuhuan Raid, and he was complacent in his heart. Naturally, it is not tolerated by others' doubts. Since this is the case, Liu Bei is not good to talk about it, and he can't continue to say it, do you want him to tell Zhang Wen that the Wuhuan cavalry is unreliable and is going to rebel? Zhang Wen had to think that he was a neurotic.

I know the development and outcome of the matter, but I can't say it, I can't say it. Liu Bei went south with a stomach full of depression and complaints, and before leaving, he couldn't help but say something like a ghost: "Ming Gong, you have to be careful of Ma Teng." ”

After Liu Bei left, Zhang Wen in view of Liu Bei's name, he deliberately sent someone to check Ma Tengqi's people, and soon, his subordinates came to report that Ma Teng's character Shoucheng was the military Sima under the command of Liangzhou Thorn Shi.

Zhang Wen couldn't help laughing, what is Liu Xuande doing? A small military Sima is also worthy of the old man's attention? So he left the matter behind.

Jiangxia thieves rose, the military disaster spread everywhere, and the court was shaken, so the Taiwei Zhang Yan was dismissed. The imperial court took Zhang Wen as the old minister for many years, and he also held the festival to quell the rebellion outside, and worked hard. And last year, all the generals were rewarded, but Zhang Wen was not rewarded, so he sent an envoy to Chang'an to worship Zhang Wen as a captain. The three princes are outside, starting from Wen.

Taiwei, in the Qin and Western Han Dynasty, was the highest military position, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the actual power had been transferred to Shangshutai, Taiwei, as one of the three dukes, was still the head of the hundred officials under the Son of Heaven. Such a high-powered position has always been announced in Beijing. At that time, the emperor and all the officials will attend the ceremony. Now he worships Zhang Wen as a lieutenant in Chang'an, although it is an expedient measure, it can also be seen that the order of the court is gradually collapsing.

The emperor seemed to believe in the skills of his courtiers, and after throwing the task of counterinsurgency to his courtiers, he should do what he should do in the palace. First, he ordered Song Dian to repair the Nangong Yutang Palace, which was burned to ashes by the fire, and then listened to the opinions of Zhang Rang and others, and ordered Bi Lan to cast bronze people and bronze bells in the palace to drive away evil spirits...... In this way, the emperor worked hard again and again to squander the trust of his subjects in the world, and he never tired of it.

Liu Bei re-entered Jingzhou, there was no embarrassment when he first came, and the army calmly subordinated himself all the way to Nanyang. Zhao Ci heard that Liu Bei had entered Jing, and hurriedly shrank his troops and retreated to Nanyang. On the one hand, the city defense is strengthened, and on the other hand, it is on guard.

When Wang Shi returned, he was still General Liu's soldiers. This is his own soldier in Jingzhou. Along the way, the people enthusiastically greeted each other, donated military rations, volunteered guides, and provided information...... It didn't take long for Liu Bei to get a thorough understanding of Zhao Ci's background.

Soldiers sent to Nanyang, and the old land was revisited. After Liu Bei set up camp, he took Zhao Ci's information in the tent and looked at it carefully.
