Huo Guang is also the head of a county, after all, Huo Yi wants to rule the seven counties in Nanzhong, so he has to replace some of his own people, which Yang Yi acquiesces, and Huo Guangqi's ability is also enough to be the county guard.

But now Huo Guang has been staying in Jinguan City.

This time rushed to Jinguan City, the task is not it, that is, to successfully promote the marriage, for the feudal dynasty, the marriage of the Son of Heaven is a major event, therefore, before the marriage is officially decided, he can not return to Nanzhong to serve the country.

Otherwise, no matter how repeated it is, it will inevitably be another rush.

Now that Zhao Wei has arrived in Mianzhu with him, Zhao Wei has been running around, but fortunately, along the way, Huo Guang talked wittily, which made Zhao Wei quite admired.

"Zhao Gong, you see, after the big river in front, it is the Shiting River, as long as you go down the river again, you can reach Mianzhu in less than two days."

Huo Guang walked on the road, followed by a group of people, he pointed to the big river in front of him, and said that Zhao Wei listened.

"Shiting River, I've heard people say it before, it seems that this Shiting River is where Li Bing made water back then? I heard that it is quite strange? Zhao Wei looked at this river with a smile, the people of Shu were all grateful to Li Bing and his son, it was really after Li Bing made water that Shu became the country of abundance in one fell swoop.

Therefore, this Shiting River is also known as Erlang River, and it is one of the places where Li Erlang is worshipped.

Huo Guang had also heard of this legend, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help but believe it in his heart, so he only smiled and said, "Maybe there is." ”

Then the two talked about some Shu Di miracles and talked happily.

Soon, a ship that had been booked before came from the opposite shore.

After the boat docked, a middle-aged man stepped off the boat, saw Huo Guang at a glance, and came over with a respectful face: "Sir, this boat is ready and ready to leave at any time." ”

Huo Guang nodded at him, turned his face and asked Zhao Wei: "Zhao Gong, the ship has arrived, are you leaving?" ”

"Now that the ship has arrived, let's go." Thinking of what he was about to face, Zhao Wei felt depressed in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, this was for the country, but he had to sacrifice his daughter.

"Zhao Gong, please." Huo Guang gave way to Zhao Wei, and at this time, he had to take care of Zhao Wei's emotions all the time.

Although Zhao Wei is the head of the Zhao family, he is also a junior compared to Huo Guang, Huo Guang's brother Huo Yi can be said to be the same generation as Zhao Yun, but he is younger.

Huo Yi Huo Guang's father Huo Jun was originally a person from Jingzhou South County, when he followed the ancestor Liu Bei into Shu, when the ancestor Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, Huo Jun was stationed in Jiameng, and successively blocked the attacks of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang. Liu Bei deplored Huo Jun's death very much, led his staff to attend Huo Jun's funeral, and stayed at Huo Jun's tomb to raise his son Huo Yi Huo Guang in the mansion.

Then, Cao Pi usurped the throne of the Han Dynasty, Liezu called the emperor, inherited the Han Dynasty, and set up Liu Chan as the crown prince.

In the third year of Zhang Wu, Liezu died, and the crown prince Liu Chan ascended the throne, and after Liu Chan ascended the throne, he appointed Huo Yi as a confidant, and accompanied Liu Chan to take charge of communication and other matters.

In the fifth year of Jianxing, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang went north to garrison Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition, so he recruited Huo Yi to the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve as a secretary, so that he and his adopted son Zhuge Qiao (the son of Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin) traveled around the military camps and shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

In the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang died of illness, and Huo Yi served as the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

Later, Huo Yi served as the deputy governor of Yan Yu, and then transferred to the army guard, managing the affairs of the military camp as before.

At that time, the ethnic minorities in Yongchang County did not submit to the dangerous terrain and often harassed them, so the imperial court took Huo Yi as the Yongchang Taishou and led a part of the army to conquer them, and finally killed their leaders and broke through their villages, and the Yongchang County border was peaceful and calm.

Huo Yi was promoted to the general of the Yijun Army for his merits, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Jianning, and was in charge of the political affairs of Nanjun after returning to the army.

In the sixth year of Jingyao, Huo Yijin was the general of Annan; When Huo Yi was in office, he was able to "pacify the unusual, legislate and teach for it, and allow it to be important and acceptable, and to promote peace and security." ”

And Huo Guang has been with his brother before and after, sharing worries for his brother, no matter how he counts, he is a generation older than Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei is also polite, and he refuses to be rude in this kind of thing, and says with a smile: "It's better for Huo Gong to invite first." ”

After giving in slightly, Huo Guang naturally wouldn't keep refusing, he entered the ship first, Zhao Wei followed, and after the group got on the boat one after another, the big ship set sail immediately.

Along the way, Zhao Wei came to some interest, looking at the scenery from the boat, leisurely.

But the closer it is to Mianzhu, Zhao Wei secretly has some hesitation and worry, Mianzhu City, Zhao Wei also came when he was young, but back then, it has been abandoned for a long time, although it is a fortress, but it is also much worse than Jinguan City, and after being ravaged by Wei thieves last year, I am afraid it is full of desolate scenery, this is only a year, how much weather can there be here?

If you come to this city and see that it is full of desolation, can you refuse this marriage, as a father, you naturally have to think about your daughter, and you can't let your daughter step into the fire pit.

Zhao Wei is also a smart person, so he naturally knows what the two brothers mean when they came to negotiate before, not to mention, this is still the meaning of the two governors, and there are a lot of people in Jinguan City, this is the urging of all parties, but Zhao Wei is difficult to refuse.

However, he had to come to Mianzhu to see after all, and Huo Guang also knew that whether this marriage would succeed or not, now, it was still undecided!

So, so worried, only three days later, Huo Guang got a little angry, but he didn't dare to make a noise, he only hoped that when he arrived in Mianzhu City, he would make the head of the Zhao family settle down, once this was united, Ji Han's internal security would be safe.

This represents the alliance of the imperial power and the new aristocratic forces, that is, the new nobles who revived Ji Han that year, which is enough to suppress the old scholars in Shudi, which Ji Han has always done.

After many days of contact, Huo Guang had already gone to the heart of contempt for Zhao Wei, although it was rumored that the head of this generation of the Zhao family was mediocre, but he could talk and behave carefully, but Huo Guang found that this son did not leak.

This kind of calm and sophisticated, and witty talking, is really incomparable to those ordinary children, everyone's demeanor, really a show, worthy of Yongchang Pavilion Marquis, there is a bit of Yongchang Pavilion Marquis's demeanor.

has a father like this, thinking of Miss Zhao, it must be an unusual daughter.

Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh at the good luck of the Han lord, but Ji Han is now walking on a cliff, and the future is in jeopardy, so he can't help but feel a little gloomy.

But after thinking about it, with the help of the Zhao family, it would be beneficial to the great cause of the family and the country, so he sighed secretly and didn't think about it anymore.

Two days later, he abandoned the ship and landed ashore.

The group went ashore from the west bank of the Shiting River, each leading their horses, and first took a serious look at the prospect.

At the end of the river, there is a sparse forest, and in the distance, there is farmland close to the city.

At this time, it is already June, and the rice has been planted, which is the late rice planted after the wheat harvest in May, but it can also mature after two or three months, and the rice fields are lush and green, and there are farmers busy in the fields.

The joy on everyone's face can be felt even though it is far away.

Huo Guang looked at all this in front of him, and felt very relieved in his heart, but the Han lord was in power, and turned his face, he said to Zhao Wei: "Zhao Gong, there are still five miles away from Mianzhu here, and you will be there after a while." ”

"I can't wait to go into town." Zhao Wei looked at the scene, was silent for a moment, and said.

It can be seen that he was also shocked by the vision, after all, the rumored Mianzhu was harassed by the war, and the people were struggling to make a living.

From the perspective of the vision, it is a different appearance, only to see more than 100,000 acres of watered fields around the city in the distance, only to see the rice fields stretching together, it seems to stretch to the sky, you must know that now it is outside the Jinguan City, there are a lot of heaven and earth abandoned, it is really caused by the sharp decline in the population of Shu.

A subordinate led the horse, and the two turned over and got on the horse and walked in the direction of Mianzhu.

Along the way, what he saw and heard, not only Zhao Wei was shocked, but also Huo Guang was very surprised, although he had come to visit him on behalf of his brother before, but until this time, he no longer doubted his brother's choice in his heart, just imagine, if he handed over this mess to himself, it would never be possible to achieve such results in this short period of time.

Even, even half of the achievements are difficult to make.

You must know that the general Jiang Wei was just for the transition, after all, he knew Yang Yi's true identity, and he just wanted to wait for stability, and then choose one of the sons of the Han family.

It's just that he didn't expect that in just a few months, Jiang Wei had to agree, and at the same time put all parties on fire, Ji Han couldn't withstand a turmoil.

Choosing this woman as the lord of the country now seems to be not so difficult for him to accept.

Even characters like Huo Guang were so surprised, and Zhao Wei, who was traveling with him, was even more secretly surprised in his heart.

Although he is in Jinguan City Mansion, Zhao Wei has also heard a little about the situation of Mianzhu.

Mianzhu can be said to be the last year when the Wei people invaded, the towns of Shu suffered the most from the war, such a city, now it seems, is actually a thriving state, just look at this continuous rice, if it is a bumper harvest, I am afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of stones, the importance of this in the troubled times, needless to say.

There are food and soldiers, and the inexplicable hostility towards the Han lord at the beginning has been mostly eliminated, and it is not impossible to make sacrifices for the sake of the family and country; It's just that he has to take a closer look at what the country is like.

Although in Zhao Wei's heart, the person who can match his daughter must also be the best of those people, but it is common to make sacrifices for the sake of the family and country.

Huo Zhao and the others had their own plans in their hearts, and for a while, there was nothing to say on the road.

The group walked along the riverbank, rode forward, traveled more than four miles, and finally saw a city in front of them.

Rao was shocked before, at this time, seeing the newly repaired city wall and the heavy city gate, Huo Guang still couldn't help but sigh, when he came here in March, it was still mostly barren, but at that time it was already predictable that the changes would be foreseeable, and now he was even more shocked.

Of course, not long ago, there were also Huo family members who came and went here, and he said that Mianzhu was prosperous, and he was a little prepared in his heart.

However, Zhao Wei had not been to Mianzhu City before, and he had a slight comparison with Jinguan City, and he only nodded secretly when he saw this.

Jinguancheng is a hundred years of operation, and Mianzhu is only a long time now, it is not as common sense, if it surpasses Jinguancheng in less than a year, it is a miracle.

At the opening of the city gate, people occasionally came and went, looking at their clothes, but they were also clean and tidy, and there was no hunger or cold on their faces.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei thought about the past memories in his heart, and he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the wall of Mianzhu City had been rebuilt, and it looked like a capital." ”

Hearing this, Huo Guang came back to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not a secret, Zhao Gong, since the reconstruction of this Mianzhu City, I haven't been here once, but now I see the façade of this rebuilt city wall, which makes me surprised." ”

"It's like this outside the city, and Wei can't wait to see what it's like inside." Seeing Zhao Wei's look of anticipation, Huo Guang nodded and ordered the group to enter the city.

……

Another remark made Chong Yuan quite embarrassed, what he expected was all wrong, could there be something wrong with this history, which made him very puzzled.

At this time, I suddenly saw Chong Yong coming in in a hurry, and then whispered beside Zhong Hui, but saw Zhong Hui's face suddenly changed.

After a while, Zhong Hui changed out of his military uniform and beckoned Chong Yong, Zhong Yi, and Chong Yi to enter the study together.

Zhonghui's study is very large, full of book scrolls, bamboo slips and the like, and the proportion of bamboo scrolls is not a few.

This made the seed quite surprised, it stands to reason that Cai Lun reformed papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, how can there still be a simple bamboo in use today? Could it be that the current papermaking technology is still only a technology, and it has not been popularized?

But soon, Zhong Hui took out a roll of paper scroll to dispel the plan of the seed to open the golden finger to climb the science and technology tree, the paper shaft that Zhong Hui held in his hand at this time was white and smooth, and the texture was delicate, although it was different from the rice paper that the seed was aware of, but the quality was not much inferior.

Zhong Hui spread the paper scroll on the case at this time, waiting for the gap between the grinding ink, Zhong Hui put his palm on the paper, and suddenly sighed: "Current affairs are like this, and my family is not exempt, and my family has to make more preparations." ”

Chong Yu was slightly stunned, thinking for a while but he didn't understand what Zhong Hui was talking about, what the cheap brother said just now, which made Zhong Hui so embarrassed.

This clock will pick up the pen and dip the ink in the text, and do not shy away from planting, the performance of the seed today makes Zhong Hui surprised, no longer regard it as a minor child, save the meaning of teaching by word and deed.

Seeing that Zhong Hui sometimes used his pen like flying, sometimes frowning and groaning, he wrote several letters in a row, looking at the meaning of a few sentences of words, and guessed in his heart that it was probably for the aftermath of the previous rebellion, as for what to write and who to write to, he couldn't quite understand.

First, because of the unadaptability of reading habits, and secondly, the handwriting of Wei Jinxing's font is very different from that of later generations.

However, Zhong Hui's book is also an experience in the eyes of Chong Yuan, but he can't tell the advantages and disadvantages, he just feels that he has a sense of refinement.

Zhong will write a letter and ask the protégé who guards outside the door to send it, the so-called protégé, but it has a great effect; The Wei and Jin clans were powerful, not only because of their political superiority and abundant property, but also because they also had private armies that should not be underestimated.
