"The concubine visits the envoy." After a while, Zhao E met Zhou Hong in the study.

"Hurry up, please." Zhou Hong stretched out his hand to help.

Although Zhao E has lived in the house for a long time, she acts very respectfully. Always call Zhou Hong as the envoy.

As soon as Liu Bei met, he called Zhou Hong 'adult', not about official rank, but as a respectful title for the elders of his predecessors. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Su Zhang": "Grandfather is pure, the word Huan Gong... The third auxiliary number is 'Adult'. "My lord, the title of an elder is also a matter of respect."

If you talk about official rank. Liu Bei's official is not high, but the knight is obvious. The ranking of candidates is above the three princes. And it is a private occasion, first salute Zhou Hong, and call him 'adult', that is, regardless of official rank, but on age. As a sign of respect.

Nowadays, Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., also call the tribal leader "adult". For those in high positions, such as: the right of the family, the palace servants, the princes and nobles, etc., can be called "adults". For example, Cai Yong called Cheng Huang "Master Cheng" in Shangshu. Liu Bei also called Cao Jie and others "old men".

"Adult" can also refer to a person with noble virtues and lofty aspirations. For parents and uncles and other elders, they can also be called "adults".

So. Nowadays, "adult" has many meanings, and it is important not to stick to it. According to the context and semantics, you should understand it yourself.

After Zhao E sat upright, Zhou Hong got straight to the point: "I don't know how Mrs. Pang thinks of Linxianghou?" ”

Zhao E replied: "He is the hero of the world." ”

Zhou Hong asked again: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Pang." Today, the old man received a handwritten letter from the prince. After thinking about it for a long time, there are still many unclear points. Madame Pang, can you please explain my doubts? ”

Zhao E does not doubt him: "The labor envoy and the concubine have a look." ”

Zhou Hong handed Liu Bei's handwritten book to Zhao E.

Zhao E looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but shine brightly: "If you act according to the plan, you will have no worries!" ”

Half of the serious illness is healed. Zhou Hong was overjoyed: "Is that really the case? ”

"Absolutely." And read the key points in the letter carefully. Zhao E couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone in the world thinks that the prince is in the Chang'an camp, but unexpectedly, he has already entered Hexi. A few days ago, he slaughtered the bald hair of Xianbei under the shoulder water gold pass. Now let the adults transfer to the Huya camp in Chang'an and pretend to go west. It's a ploy! According to the expectation of the concubine, the prince must have seen that Xianbei and Zhuqiang were colluding, and a big chaos was about to arise. It is a strategy to lure the enemy. Once the Huya battalion was transferred out of Chang'an, the Qiang people would raise troops to plunder Sanfu. The elite of the Qiang people is exhausted, and only the old and young are left in the family. If...... Take a look at the map! ”

Zhou Hong handed over the map of the mountains and rivers of Dahan from the case.

Zhao E took a closer look, and then went to the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court, Meiji County: "If you lead the Xiongnu south, you will copy the Qiang people's nest." The Qiang people will be in chaos! ”

Everything is as Zhou Hong thinks.

The key is here: "When the Qiang people learned that their families had been plundered by the Xiongnu, they should return to the rescue." There will be a bloody battle between the two sides. The consequences of military disasters are unpredictable. If the Qiang is not settled, the Huns will rise again. At that point, how do you end up? ”

Zhao E nodded. This is also something she has not figured out: "It is a matter of confidentiality, and the prince has not been able to elaborate." Or they were worried about leaking the news, so they didn't tell the whole plan. This is understandable. According to what the concubine heard, the prince went north alone when he was a teenager. attacked the royal court at night, and narrowly cut a large order in the sandalwood acacia under the account. Predicted with precision, with neat action. Rare in the world. Now there is a strange plan, which is to solve the trouble of the three auxiliary Qiang! So that you should help you. If it is done, the success will be offset by the demerits, and the door will be worry-free. Glancing at Zhou Hong, Zhao E said again: "If it doesn't work out, do your best and have a clear conscience." And the prince and His Majesty bet 100 million. Presumably, Your Majesty will not blame the prince for his heart for the country. ”

At this point, how could Zhou Hong not wake up: "In this way, the old man and the prince are on the same road side by side!" ”

Zhao E said goodbye again.

She is worthy of being a martyr. Zhao E's words, how could Zhou Hong not know.

Just be on the same front as Linxianghou. Even if the matter fails, His Majesty will only be fined 100 million. Linxianghou is righteous, how can he let Zhou Hong take the blame!

The point is that the situation in Liangzhou is erosive. If you still don't do anything, you will be held accountable afterwards. Today, there is a hometown Hou sending charcoal in the snow, and Zhou Hong has not done anything, let alone when!

Then he got up and changed his clothes, and rushed to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion overnight, and then went to Huya's mansion. When asked, they learned that both of them had received a secret letter from Linxianghou. Talk about the gains and losses. The three of them hit it off, and they secretly planned not to mention it.

The Huya battalion guards Chang'an, and there is no edict to leave.

Liu Bei had already rushed six hundred miles to pass the book to Jia Xu. Tuo Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to contact Si Li, Shang Shuling and other officials. The edict ordered the Huya Commander to temporarily move to the camp in Hexi and garrison.

At the same time, the two families in Linxiang also secretly believed in the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu. Arrange the rest.

The goal of this time is to assist Zhuqiang in three ways.

The Xiliang Qiang Rebellion was not in the plan. According to the master book Li Ru. Once the goal is achieved, Sanfu can be safed for ten years.

As for Xiliang Zhuqiang, Liu Bei also has a plan.

There is no hurry.

Eat the rice one bite at a time. The thieves are destroyed one by one.

High in the building. Seeing the Huya battalion marching out of the city, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but ask: "If the Qiang rebellion really starts and there is a shortage of major generals in the city, what should we do?" ”

Liangzhou Thorn Shi replied with a smile: "Haven't you forgotten that there is still a strange soldier in the camp?" ”

"But the Xiping Koji brothers recruited by the prince?"

"Yes, yes." Liangzhou Thorn Shi sighed: "The prince left more than a thousand koji clan members in the camp, there must be a deep meaning. With such foresight, I can't wait. ”

"Can Koji really keep the Qiang thieves under Chang'an City?" Jing Zhaoyin asked again.

"We'll see." Thorn Shi replied again.

"It's too dangerous. If the Qiang army is coming, if you are not careful, Chang'an will be in danger. Jing Zhaoyin is still worried.

Thorn Shi said: "Shen Zhen uses fierce medicine, and the troubled times need to be re-enacted." If you can fight it, it will be decided. The Great Han Kingdom Zuo stretches without worry......"

Jing Zhaoyin nodded and said, "Just like many years ago, Xia Yu and others discussed the Northern Expedition. All the princes of the DPRK and China were against it. His Majesty insisted on going his own way. The border soldiers were divided into three routes, and the light cavalry rushed forward. Thousands of miles away, seeing that defeat has been born. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Linxiang actually waved his army to the north and cut off a large single son in the king's tent. and fought for seven days. Xianbei lost his troops and lost his morale. Instead, he was hit in the back by the Han cavalry. Since then, it has been a thousand miles away. I don't know what the prince is planning today, but the old thing is repeated? ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

The history of Liangzhou suddenly woke up: "How similar! ”

Jing Zhaoyin said again: "Now there is a rumor in the city that the bald Xianbei has captured the subject country of Zhangye Juyan, and is in collusion with the beggar department outside the Guan. Seeing that the tail was too big to fall, the imperial court transferred Huya and other battalions to Xiliang to quell the chaos. It is expected that if Zhuqiang really has a rebellious heart, this is a godsend. ”

Liangzhou Thorn Shi nodded: "I don't know, this is known at that time, or at this time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jing Zhaoyin asked hurriedly.

"Sanfu Zhuqiang, is there a connection with Xianbei for a long time? Xianbei made chaos in the west, and the imperial court transferred troops to quell the chaos. Even the garrison of Chang'an is empty. The Qiang people took advantage of the situation and plundered Sanfu. So interlocking, is there a master planning behind it? ”

"Public, it makes sense." Jing Zhaoyin looked at the Huya Camp winding west, and muttered, "Presumably, the Linxiang Marquis has already seen through the heavens. ”
