1073 The son inherits the father's will

"General Zhang!!"

Wu Ban cried loudly, grief-stricken, and spoke non-stop! The mouth kept shouting only the word general, but it was a thousand kinds of reluctance, all kinds of helplessness, and he couldn't wake up Zhang Fei anymore!

When the rest of the soldiers heard the crying, they poured into the big tent one after another, and they all cried when they saw this, and wept at Zhang Fei, who was sitting upright.

Wu Ban wiped away his tears, only then did he find that in front of Zhang Fei's desk, there was a roll of white silk, the ink on it had not dried, and when he opened it, he saw that it was written: In the past, yellow flowers were everywhere, and now the rain is falling and withering. The river is endless, sorrow and joy are involved in love and hatred, and the road back is looking forward to the red dust, without wind, rain or sunshine.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Wu Ban, Zhang Fei was put into a mahogany coffin, and when the coffin was sealed, his body was very soft, and every joint on his body could be moved.

Accompanied by a group of several hundred soldiers, Zhang Fei's body was sent to Chengdu.

Liu Bei was in the upper court, his spirit was very trance-like, and he felt ominous in his heart, and when he heard the news of Zhang Fei's death, he was immediately furious and scolded loudly: "Why did you arrange this lie!" ”

Everyone was immersed in grief, Liu Bei still didn't want to believe this fact, as he grew older, he valued brotherhood more and more, and he couldn't afford to lose it anymore. At this time, Liu Bei's brain was already a little confused, and he shouted that he had to kill the rumor-mongers.

Zhuge Liang knelt down with tears in his eyes and said in a mournful voice: "General Yide is also going, Your Majesty is mourning!" ”

"Your Majesty!" The civil and military ministers knelt down one after another.

Liu Bei seemed to have regained some reason, patted his thigh and said, "Wow! Fly to death! ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Bei meant, and after more than ten minutes, Liu Bei started crying loudly, no matter how he persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, until he passed out from crying.

Liu Bei woke up and cried, and then fainted, tossed back and forth for three days, and finally recovered a trace of spirit, Zhuge Liang and others hurriedly persuaded that the lord was mourning, and General Zhang was able to sit down, and the creation was different.

Liu Bei looked at the white silk left by Zhang Fei, but the tears still couldn't be stopped, because he didn't comb his hair and face for several days, his haggard appearance looked very old.

Zhang Fei was solemnly buried, the ancestral hall was established, and the whole Shu Kingdom was dressed in linen and filial piety, and there was a sad voice!

Zhang Fei has four children, two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Zhang Bao is twenty years old, the second son Zhang Shao is eighteen years old, and the two daughters are younger.

In order to appease Zhang Fei's family, Liu Bei issued a holy decree, making Zhang Fei's two sons generals, and designated Zhang Fei's eldest daughter as the wife of his son Liu Chan, which was later the queen of mourning.

Despite this, Liu Bei still felt that he had not done enough, and washed his face with tears every day, often sitting alone and watching the sunset, muttering to himself, because no one dared to approach, he didn't know what he was talking about.

After a month, Liu Bei's hair was mostly gray, he aged prematurely, and he had age spots on his face, looking like a septuagenarian. Every time the rickety Liu Bei went to court, the ministers could hear the sound of the crown bead curtain on his head shaking, because Liu Bei's head always trembled slightly involuntarily, and he could no longer sit upright.

On the Yiling side, Wang Baoyu was sad when he heard the news of Zhang Fei's death, learned about the situation in detail, and learned that Zhang Fei was seated and had a good death, so his mood improved slightly.

Subsequently, Wang Baoyu presided over a grand memorial ceremony, and asked Da Qiao to carve a statue of Zhang Fei, personally holding it and sending it to the seventh floor of the Futu Tower, and put it side by side with Guan Yu.

In order to keep Zhang Fei, Wang Baoyu once sent a flying cloud rat and tried his best, but he still couldn't prevent Zhang Fei from leaving, and the good brother was separated by life and death. This made Wang Baoyu feel for the first time that in the face of the vast heavenly reincarnation, the power of human beings was too small, and he was powerless to change anything.

Zhang Fei's death made the ministers of Shu begin to move their minds again, and they all went to the table to persuade them not to attack Jiangdong for the time being.

Liu Bei made up his mind and insisted on conquering Jiangdong to avenge his second brother Guan Yu. It is also because of Zhang Fei's death that Liu Bei realized the impermanence of life, and wanted to take advantage of his life to lay more land for future generations.

Everyone found Zhuge Liang again, hoping that he could also contribute, Zhuge Liang didn't come forward this time, but said helplessly: "If Fazheng is still there, he will definitely be able to stop the saint from traveling east!" ”

At the beginning of August, Liu Bei solemnly announced that he would send troops to Jiangdong, and ordered Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to stay in Chengdu to manage the affairs of the country; Ma Chao, together with his younger brother Ma Dai, led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Nanzheng to protect Hanzhong.

Huang Quan and Cheng Yi as staff officers; Chen Zhen is in charge of the clerical work; The veteran Huang Zhong is the general vanguard of the front, and the victorious general Zhao Yun supervises the transportation of grain and grass as a rear; Feng Xi and Zhang Nan are pioneer lieutenants; Fu Tong and Zhang Yi are lieutenants of the Chinese army; Zhao Rong and Liao turned into defenders. 100 generals, plus Wuxi's soldiers and horses, a total of 400,000 troops, set out on the same day.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, his heart was mixed, he was happy that he didn't have to follow, he didn't have to worry about the embarrassment of fighting Wang Baoyu on the battlefield, and he was worried about this matter, Huang Quan and Cheng Ji, although they were extraordinary, but as military advisors, they were not qualified at all.

Just as Liu Bei finished announcing the marching arrangements, two young generals came in from outside the door, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Qiqi Sheng, the two of us ask for orders to go out together." ”

Liu Bei looked at it, with a loving smile on his face, one was wearing a black robe and black armor, it was Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao, and the other was Guan Yu's son Guan Xing.

"Two virtuous nephews, please get up quickly!" Liu Bei said.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao got up and stood up, Liu Bei looked at the two of them looking like the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei, he was happy in his heart, waved his hand and said: "The battlefield is dangerous, the two virtuous nephews still don't want to follow." ”

"For the country and the father, never give up!" Guan Xing said resolutely.

"A man is alive, if he doesn't fight on the battlefield, it's boring to live!" Zhang Bao also insisted.

"Alas! Seeing the two of you, I remembered when Buyi married the second brother and the third brother Taoyuan, how happy. Now I am the Son of Heaven, but I can't share the wealth with my two brothers, which is really heartbreaking. Liu Bei sighed, and tears fell again.

"Although the father is dead, the son is still there!" Guan Xingdao.

"I am willing to inherit my father's will and swear allegiance to the Holy One!" Zhang Bao also said.

"I already know the hearts of the two virtuous nephews, but Yun Changyide has left me one after another, and there are not many heirs, so you still need more experience." Liu Bei said softly.

"The prosperity of children and grandchildren is better than going into battle to kill the enemy and share the worries for the king!" Guan Xinglang said.

"Fighting on the battlefield is the best experience, and I hope that Your Majesty will be perfect!" Zhang Bao also said stubbornly.

They are all good boys, Liu Bei was very relieved to hear it, and in a trance, it seemed that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were standing in front of him, looking at this and that with tears in his eyes, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, the two of you will stay with me and send troops to recruit Sun Quan together." However, don't do it without permission! ”
