Chapter 878: Empress, Eunuch, Righteous Son

Zhending City, the lobby of the palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On the dragon throne, Liu Bei was drinking a small wine while flipping through the latest recitals.

In the south of the city, the seventy-two formations of Tianmen had been laid down as usual, and he also sent men and horses to Wei Ying to call for battle, but in Liu Bei's opinion, the pottery merchants did not dare to accept the challenge as usual.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry at all, because in his opinion, the situation was now favorable to him, and the person who couldn't afford it was a potter.

Because this is really a big town in hand, he can rely on the fortified city with his back, calmly drag the 350,000 Wei army here, and buy enough time to consume the newly acquired territory in northern Hebei.

On the other hand, the pottery merchants fought several wars in succession, and the national strength was consumed hugely, and in Jiaozhou in the south, Hong Xiuquan was in chaos again, and the war was about to burn to Jingzhou.

On the surface of various signs, the internal and external situation has become more and more unfavorable to the potters, so Liu Bei is not in a hurry at all, and the potters will consume it.

So what he has to do every day is to drink a little wine and criticize the music.

As for these recitals, they were delivered by the eunuchs in the palace from Jijing every ten days, and after he gave instructions, they were sent back to Jijing for execution.

"Zhongxian, how is the palace now, how is the prince, how is the queen's body?" Liu Bei finished correcting the last piece and looked up and asked.

The eunuch standing next to him was Liu Bei's chief eunuch in the inner palace, Wei Zhongxian.

"Back to Your Majesty, the prince has grown up very well, and he is also very smart, he has been able to memorize several poems recently, and the queen mother is also in good health, and she also entrusted the old slave to bring good news to Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said with a grin.

"Rong'er has any good news, come and hear it." Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Wei Zhongxian said: "The queen mother said, recently, Uncle Ma Guo imitated several strange weapons of the Wei army, one of which has been successful, and it will be sent to the army in a few days. ”

"Seriously!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, and couldn't help but smile proudly: "The traitor of the pottery merchant, relying on Lu Ban to make a few strange weapons for him, he can do whatever he wants, he never expected it, I still have Ma Jun, a genius of employees, what he can have, I can also make it sooner or later, hahaha——"

In the palace, Liu Bei's smug laughter echoed.

Liu Bei's mouth that Ma Jun, originally fled from Guanzhong to Youzhou in the early years, the best at mechanical manufacturing, his sister Ma Rong is outstanding, when Liu Bei looked at a glance, married as a wife, Liu Bei called the emperor, then immediately Rong as the queen, Ma Jun naturally became the uncle.

Liu Bei has not had a child for many years, but Ma Rong gave birth to a son for him shortly after marrying Liu Bei, named Liu Chan.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Rong became more and more favored by Liu Bei, and Ma Jun also rose with the tide and became the general of Wei.

And Liu Bei has suffered from the potters' strange weapons for so many years, and knows that Ma Jun is good at mechanical manufacturing and invention, so he allocated a lot of money to let Ma Jun develop imitations.

After several years of hard work, Ma Jun finally achieved results, and Liu Beiyan could not help but be happy.

After laughing wildly, Liu Bei flicked his hands and said: "Zhongxian, this batch of chapters has been approved, you can bring it back to Jijing, and then tell Ma Jun, even if the weapon he made is sent to me." ”

"Then the old slave will return to Beijing." Wei Zhongxian was about to retire.

At this time, An Lushan, who was beside him, took the initiative to stand up and arched his hand: "Father, the land of northern Hebei has just been recovered for a long time, and the people's hearts are not attached, and the road is not peaceful, and the son wants to lead the army to escort Lord Wei back to Beijing." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while, nodded and said: "Shan'er is reasonable, I also want you to escort Ma Jun's newly made weapon to Zhending, so I will make a hard trip to escort Zhongxian back to Beijing, greet your mother for me, and then escort the weapon back to Zhending." ”

An Lushan hurriedly arched his hand, and said: "Father, don't worry, the son will definitely greet the queen mother on behalf of his father." ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled that Wei Zhongxian could go.

Wei Zhongxian picked up the pile of music, and when he turned around to leave, he turned back again, as if he had something to say.

"Do you have anything else to play?" Liu Bei asked.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at An Lushan, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "No, no, the old slave has nothing to do, and the old slave will retire first." ”

Wei Zhongxian retired first, and An Lushan also retreated, turning away.

Liu Bei looked at Wei Zhongxian's fat back, suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and said, "The mountains are slow." ”

"What else does my father have to say?" An Lushan turned around.

"Shan'er, you should be twenty this year." Liu Bei's face suddenly showed a bit of fatherly kindness.

An Lushan was stunned, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "Back to my father, my son is actually twenty-two this year. ”

"You're twenty-two!" Liu Bei was a little surprised, and a little apology flashed across his gray face, "For my father's year, I went to the east and the west, and patronized the Xingfu Han family, ignoring that you are already over twenty years old, and I should give you a watch." ”

An Lushan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "My father has worked hard all day long to revive the Han Dynasty, and if I can remember my son, my son is already very content, and I ask my father to give my son a watch." ”

Liu Bei tapped his fingertips on his forehead, and after pondering for a long time, he smiled lovingly: "I thought of it, in the future, your expression will be called 'Song Zhe'." ”

"Thank you to your father, and your son will also be a person with a word in the future, thank you father." An Lushan was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again, as if he had won the table word, as if he had won the treasure.

Liu Bei flicked his hands with a smile and signaled that An Lushan could go.

An Lushan had just exited the lobby, but Zhao Yun hurriedly entered again, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the potters are out of the camp again, ready to break the formation." ”

Liu Bei's smile suddenly narrowed, jumped up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Did the pottery thief really come out of the camp to break the formation again?" ”

"Exactly, the pottery thief has led 30,000 soldiers and horses to line up outside the camp, and it seems that he is indeed planning to break the formation." Zhao Yun replied.

Liu Bei didn't say a word, went straight to the palace, and went straight to the south gate of Zhending.

When stepping on the city tower, Zhuge Liang and other civil and military ministers had already arrived in advance, Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that in the south of the Tianmen Array, the Wei army had finished arraying.

The Wei army only has more than 30,000 people, and this formation is obviously intended to accept the challenge and break the formation again.

"His grandmother's, the pottery thief has been a shrunken turtle for a few days, why does he have the courage to break the formation now?" Zhang Fei scolded curiously.

Zhao Yun frowned and said: "Your Majesty, that potter has always been treacherous, he avoided the door without fighting for a few days, but today he suddenly came to break the formation, could it be that he has figured out what method to break the formation in the past few days?" ”

Zhao Yun's reminder made Liu Bei's figure shake slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang and the others, revealing a trace of jealousy.

Obviously, Liu Bei has lost to the potter too many times, leaving a lot of shadows in his heart, and the slightest wind and grass will inevitably cause unease.

Pang Tong sneered: "Zilong is too worried, my teacher, Mr. Shui Jing, said that as long as the Bagua Array is fused with the Tiangang Earth Evil Array, it is the strongest array in the world, and no one can break it except ourselves." ”

Zhuge Liang also shook the feather fan lightly, and said with a faint smile: "I expected that in the past few days, the pottery thief must have summoned Zhang Liang from Bingzhou, this person does have a unique way in the formation, but Liang believes that with his strength, he may not be able to break our Tianmen Formation." ”

After listening to the confident judgment of the two advisors, Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his frowning brows also loosened his mouth, and the eyes that shot towards the south rekindled a trace of pride.

He sneered and said proudly: "Tao thief, I lost the previous time, don't you think you have enough to break a Xiang Yu, very good, today I will let you taste the pain of defeat again!" ”

At the head of the city, the monarchs and ministers of the Han Kingdom were all proud, looking at the Tianmen Array calmly and confidently, waiting for Hou Jing to put on a good show again.

In the Heavenly Gate Array.

On the high platform in the center of the central Zhou Tian Bagua Array, Hou Jing, the loyal and righteous Marquis of the Han Kingdom, was already holding a sword in his hand, standing proudly, and his eagle-like eyes were full of excited flames.

"Pottery thief, are you still so persistent, do you want to give me credit again......

The corners of Hou Jing's mouth raised a sneer, he seemed to have seen that the invincible Wei general led the army blindly into the battle, but was crushed by the large array under his auspices.

To the south of the Tianmen Array, the 30,000 Wei troops had finished their formation.

The pottery merchant glanced at the huge array in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the picture of Xiang Yu's fiasco that day, and his fists couldn't help but clench secretly.

Then, he turned his gaze to Mu Guiying and asked solemnly: "Guiying, the Tianmen Array is right in front of you, I will ask you again, are you sure you can break this formation?" ”

Mu Guiying glanced back at the potter, but smiled faintly, "Even if Guiying can't break it, the big deal is that he just dies in the battle, and it's just a few female bandits, and Your Majesty has nothing to lose." ”

The potter's expression moved, knowing that her words were actually laughing at herself for being humble and insignificant.

"Gui Ying, I don't allow you to say that, no one can replace the weight of your heart in me, I order you to come back alive." Tao Shang said solemnly, subconsciously raised a hand and pressed it on Mu Guiying's shoulder.

It doesn't matter if this press is pressed, Mu Guiying's whole person is like an electric shock, her body trembled violently, her expression became extremely panicked, she shrank her shoulders in a hurry, and shook off the potter's hand.

The potter's hand hung in the air, looking at Mu Guiying, who was flustered, his expression was a little embarrassed, so he had to smile bitterly.

Mu Guiying saw the embarrassed appearance of the potter, his expression was a little apologetic, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you for Your Majesty's attention, then I also promise Your Majesty that I will definitely come back alive." ”

"That's good." The potter nodded, but said, "Not only do you have to promise to come back alive, but you also have to promise that after this battle is won, you will tell me your secret." ”

"My secret?" Mu Guiying looked stunned.

The potter raised his hand to her, and then glanced at her shoulder, apparently hinting at her move.

Mu Guiying suddenly realized, her face suddenly flushed with a slight dizziness, she bit her lip, and seemed to have made up her mind, before she nodded: "Okay, if I can come back alive, I promise to tell Your Majesty my secret." ”

"Okay, then let's high-five and swear!" The potter raised his palms high.

Mu Guiying looked at the potter's broad palm, and there seemed to be some embarrassment in his eyes, as if it was not a palm, but a nail board, and it would prick his hand if he patted it.

After hesitating for a while, Mu Guiying gritted her teeth and raised her hand to hit the potter's palm.

The crisp high-five sounded, and Mu Guiying's face quietly flashed a faint color.

However, the faintness flashed, and she calmed down in a blink of an eye, took a deep breath, and arched her hand: "Your Majesty, Mu Guiying asks Your Majesty to issue a decree and allow me to go and break the formation!" ”

"Go ahead, I'll sit and watch your performance." The potter smiled and flicked his hand.

Mu Guiying didn't hesitate any longer, carried the pear blossom spear in his hand, and rode out.

The two generals on the left and right, Chi Gong and Qin Qiong, also followed closely, and a thousand elite soldiers who broke the formation behind them also roared out.

The banner with the word "Mu" led the formation of the Great Wei to attack the seventy-two formations of Tianmen again.

(The third watch is delivered, and there are two more watches at night, so it's cool)
