1372 Half and a half pieces of silver
In the final analysis, in the eyes of the ancients, Liu Chan is still not doing his job, anyway, he is also going to die in the country, Wang Baoyu has no need to deliberately cultivate, he has the intention to give him the telescope, and is afraid that he will become an astronomer again, after thinking for a long time, he said: "Zen, there are no fun things for the time being, I can give you a fun Jianyi." ”
"Fourth uncle, please speak!" Liu Chan said excitedly.
"You can make some animal and plant specimens, it's very simple, fix them to the board with a needle......"
Liu Chan comprehended, slapped his face and said wonderful, and said with a wink: "Different animals and plants, the way of making specimens should also be different." Some need to be removed and air-dried, some can only be made as bone specimens, and some ......"
"Well, you're right, you have to accumulate specific experience slowly." Wang Baoyu interrupted Liu Chan's words, as long as he is interested in hobbies, presumably Liu Chan can study these thoroughly.
Liu Chan immediately arranged for the accompanying eunuchs to do it, and after enough fun, it was time to talk about business, in a small pavilion, Wang Baoyu said to Liu Chan very seriously: "Chan'er, it will take a while for the prime minister to go, you can also get back the feeling of being an emperor, work hard, you must not listen to slander, and make trouble behind the prime minister's back." ”
Zen'er understands that the prime minister's refusal to be the king is enough to prove that he is selfless in his heart. In the future, if anyone frames the prime minister, they will be severely punished! Liu Chan nodded.
"Also, ask Jiang Wan more if you have something, don't make your own decisions and cause trouble." Wang Baoyu told again.
"Hehe, Zen'er just wants to help the prime minister more, so that he doesn't work so hard." Liu Chan said with a smile.
Liu Chan arranged a royal banquet again, ceremoniously entertained Wang Baoyu, thanked the fourth uncle for sending troops to help, and played until the evening, Wang Baoyu declined Liu Chan's request to sleep with him, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fan Jinqiang hasn't fought for a long time, he seems very excited, he must follow to protect Wang Baoyu's safety, the chasing horse is old, and he can barely ride it in peacetime, but he can't fight at all.
Zhuge Liang valued Fan Jinqiang very much, and he was also one of the best generals in the world, so he asked General Zuo, who was good at horses, to help choose a BMW and give it to Fan Jinqiang.
Yi also attached great importance to this, and when it took three days, he selected ten of the best horses, pondered carefully for an hour, and finally selected a war horse with mottled coats, which looked extremely inconspicuous.
"This horse seems to be malnourished!" Wang Baoyu asked suspiciously.
"Uncle Huang doesn't know, with the technique of the horse below, this is a rare horse, called a floating cloud." Yi Yuan hurriedly explained.
Fan Jinqiang rode around with great interest, and didn't find anything special, Yi said that this horse was originally ridden by ordinary soldiers, and it was really a little malnourished, and it must be different if it was well raised.
Yi Ji could see at a glance the Lu Ma Buji that Liu Bei was riding, Wang Baoyu believed in his ability, wasn't his original black shadow horse also very inconspicuous? Therefore, the horse should not be disguised, so Fan Jinqiang accepted it, and after that, General Fan's mount was changed to a floating cloud horse, and the original wind-chasing horse stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion and got a good death.
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing inevitably ran back secretly to find Wang Baoyu, hoping that he could tell the prime minister to let them go out to fight, but Wang Baoyu did not agree. On this expedition, Shuzhong cannot be without good generals, and the task of the two is also very arduous, and staying in Shuzhong is also a good time to experience. The two brothers Zhang Guan broke their mouths, and went to intercede with Master Fan Jinqiang, but in the end they still failed to do so, although they were a little reluctant, but they still reluctantly accepted it.
Huang Yueying was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu's expedition, because her son was about to be born, and she was still an older mother, Zhuge Liang chose to go on the expedition at this juncture, and this father was really incompetent.
For this reason, Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang had a big quarrel, but she knew her husband too well, and her husband could be ruthless to his family for the sake of the country, so he secretly shed a tear, and still silently packed his bags. Wang Baoyu comforted and said that this production must be very smooth, and if my sister is not at ease, she can let Ma Yunlu and other female relatives in Yiling come over to accompany the birth and so on.
A few days later, Zhuge Liang sorted out 200,000 soldiers and horses and officially set out to conquer the Southern Barbarians.
Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Tan to join the army, Chen Zhen to join the army, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to be generals, and the governor of the army, Zhao Yun was already on the front line, just waiting for the troops to converge, where there were still 100,000 soldiers and horses. Zhuge Liang also ordered Wang Ping and Zhang Yi to be deputy generals, cooperate with the work of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, and the army marched along the middle road.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang asked Li Hui to lead the general Hu Du and 50,000 soldiers and horses to set off along the right road, and Wang Baoyu also informed Qian Mo who was in Wuling, asking him to gather the men and horses of the four counties of Jingnan and march from the left road, and the soldiers and horses of Yuezhou were temporarily on standby.
The army marched southward, Zhuge Liang was still dressed in white, shaking the feather fan, sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, and Wang Baoyu rode the wind tiger and walked side by side with Zhuge Liang.
Walking all the way, Wang Baoyu suddenly remembered an acquaintance, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, why didn't I see Liu Ba?" ”
Speaking of Liu Ba, Zhuge Liang's face showed a gloomy color, and he sighed: "Not long after the death of the ancestor, Liu Ba fell ill urgently, and by the time I returned to Chengdu, I had already passed away. It's a pity, if he had been there, he would have shared a lot of burden for me. ”
"That's a shame." Wang Baoyu felt a lot of regret, some things are also fate, Zhuge Liang has always admired Liu Ba, he has been chasing for so long, and when he was about to come in handy, the person was gone.
"Liu Ba has no children under his knees, only half and two pieces of silver with him, if he is an official, he can do this, why worry about the world being unhappy." Zhuge Liang said with emotion.
"Well, Liu Ba is a good official, and Shangyong's side has developed well after his governance." Wang Baoyu nodded.
"The mediocre needs to guard against Mengda." Zhuge Liang pointed out the key to solving the problem in one sentence, and he was really smart.
"Mr. is right, this Meng Da stays in Wancheng, eyeing him fiercely, which is very annoying." Wang Baoyu agreed.
"If it weren't for Liu Feng's coercion, Meng Da might not have rebelled, and when he returned from this southern expedition, I would definitely persuade Meng Da to return to the Han Dynasty again, just to share Baoyu's worries." Zhuge Liang said.
"Hehe, that's great, I'm a little weak in that area at the moment." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.
The two of them chatted all the way, but they were not lonely, and they left Chengdu fifty miles away unconsciously, and it was almost dusk, Zhuge Liang ordered to set up camp on the spot, and then continue the new army early tomorrow morning.
That night, when Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang were drinking in the big tent, the guards outside the door came to report, and a young general asked to see him, claiming to be Guan Yu's son.
Zhuge Liang was stunned, Guan Yu only had two sons, Guan Ping fell in Maicheng with his father, and Guan Xing was stationed in Hanzhong, why did a son suddenly appear?
