Han Long was in Yizhou at this time, and even if Cao Pi wanted to find him, he could only use the power of the school government to sneak in directly, which was also the most normal way.

But now, Cao Pi has not used the manpower of the school office.

First, because the letter that his younger brother Cao Zhang gave him just now gave him a headache, and he couldn't even believe that it was true.

The second is because the spies of the school office just now made him somewhat convinced of one thing, that is, the people of the school government are not reliable at this time.

In this case, all he can do is this Biqiu Jian next to him.

Soon, in the big tent, Cao Pi, who had written the letter, solemnly handed it over to Biqiu Jian beside him.

"You remember, this thing must be handed over to Han Long, remember to remember!" Cao Pi repeatedly admonished Biqiu Jian, and at the same time looked around at the fact that there were no outsiders, "Remember, you use your own people all along the way, and you must not use people from the school office!" ”

"No!" Biqiu Jian didn't know why Cao Pi did this, but he knew that this matter was very important. "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not let you down!"

Biqiu Jian walked out of Cao Ying very secretly, walked out of Wancheng very covertly, and disappeared directly.

It wasn't until Biqiu Jian left completely that Cao Pi slowly closed his eyes, he had a lot to do, but everything couldn't be done at will.

"These guys, there's really nothing they dare not do!" When Cao Pi opened his eyes again, it was already extremely cold.

But no matter what Cao Pi thought or how angry he was, he needed to wait until the army retreated before he could do it.

At the beginning of April, Jiangdong envoys arrived in Wancheng, paid homage to Cao Pi, and presented a table of surrender at the same time.

However, before that, there was another incident in Jiangdong, which originally happened before Cao Zhen captured Hengjiang Wubao, and several people and several things can be regarded as coincidences.

"I've waited to see the king!" Not long ago, Lu Xun and Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce, found Sun Quan, who was still ecstatic at the time, "Now that we have invaded Liu Xuande in Xichuan in the west and Cao Pi in the north against Cao Pi in the Central Plains, we have enough power to be able to carefully consider the king and ascend the throne as emperor!" ”

At this time, Jiangdong was jubilant and festive, and it could not be said that there had been no victory after being suppressed by the Cao family for so many years.

But for so many years, He has had such a big victory, and in the middle of the war, being able to kill a Cao Clan's great Sima Cao Ren is simply the most glorious.

With such a great glory, where can you not make the people of Jiangdong excited, if you don't see it, Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, is already excited and can't close his legs.

To tell the truth, Lu Xun and Sun Shao's proposal really moved him, and Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangdong, and Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce, both of them, whether they were private or official in Jiangdong, advised Sun Quan to ascend the throne and become emperor, which was completely sufficient.

It's a pity that Sun Quan still wants to be like Liu Xuande and Cao Pi, and make three concessions and three resignations, and then he can ascend the throne and become the emperor openly, and also become a qualified and reasonable emperor.

It's just that when he just resigned, he didn't have a second chance.

Lu Xun, who returned to the Yiling defense line, found Xichuan's scouts, and the reason why he was so fanfare and nervous was mainly because what they had just done was very coincidental.

They had just advised Sun Quan to be the emperor, and then as one of the main forces of the persuasion, Lu Xun naturally thought that his actions would make Xichuan anxious, and then directly send troops to start the second war, and he Jiangdong would not die.

And empathy, if he is Liu Xuande, before his death, if Jiangdong wants to be the emperor, I am afraid he will not agree.

Once Jiangdong is proclaimed emperor, as Jiangdong's ally, Xichuan's position will undoubtedly be very embarrassing, and he will not be able to explain to the people of the world whether he fights or fights.

So as a last resort, Jiangdong can only pay attention to this matter and think carefully about how he should go on in the future.

(This passage is written for some readers, because of the author's previous mistakes, so it created a "loophole", a few scouts can scare the Jiangdong Emperor Sun Quan into subservient to the Cao family, although it works logically, but it doesn't work in character.)

So this matter must be explained here.

First of all, in September of the third year of Cao Wei and Huangchu, that is, in June of the second year of Zhangwu of Shu Han, the third month after Liu Xuande's army was defeated and returned to the White Emperor City, Cao Pi of the Cao family attacked Jiangdong in a rage on the grounds that Jiangdong was arrogant and did not send the hostage Sun Deng into Luoyang, which was also a three-way attack on Wu.

From November of the third year of the Huang Dynasty, Cao Pi rushed to Wancheng, Cao Pi's move this time was definitely premeditated, so it is undeniable.

In the history books, the generals were besieged for six months, that is to say, it stands to reason that even if there is a time gap between the two sides after the end of the battle in Jiangling, it should be around March of the fourth year of the Huang Dynasty, and at this time there was another incident in the White Emperor City.

In the third year of Shu Han Zhangwu, on March 22, Liu Xuande found Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and Li Yan, the general of Shu Han, and promoted Li Yan to the Shangshu Order of Shu Han, and at the same time, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan became his ministers.

As I said before, when Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang broke through Hengjiang Wubao and broke the land of Niuzhu Tun, it should be after March, because it must be after Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang and others directly defeated Xiahou Shang and others.

And it is indeed recorded in the history books that in the second year of Huangwu in Jiangdong, Lu Xun and Sun Shao were the two main people, and jointly asked Sun Quan to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The second year of Huangwu in Jiangdong, the third year of Zhangwu in Shu Han, and the fourth year of Huangchu in Cao's family, all of which are the same year.

When Jiangdong was attacked by Cao's army in a three-way cycle, and when the east and west roads were still in danger, no matter how stupid they were, they would never take the initiative to talk to Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, about this.

Therefore, it can only be done if Zhu Huan completely takes down Cao Ren's army, and it can even be said that after they kill Cao Ren alive.

And these times and sequences can be revealed.

In March of the fourth year of the Huang Dynasty, Cao's West Road army was directly defeated under the city of Zhu Ran's generals, and Pan Zhang's burning of the Bailizhou pontoon bridge cut off Cao's middle road, making Zhang He and others almost become a deep lone army.

Fortunately, Dong Zhao's timely reminder, coupled with the fact that the Western Route Army was a real veteran except for Xiahou Shang, they had already escaped as soon as possible, without causing them much loss, but it gave them no chance to capture Jiangling.

At this time, the Jiangdong army of the Eastern Route Army, because of the support of the local naval army and the army of He Qi Shanyue, also stabilized the front, and the most important thing is that Zhu Huan defeated Cao Ren all the way, and killed Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian, captured Wang Shuang alive and sent him to Wuchang.

After that, he was angry with the commander of the Cao army of the Middle Route Army, the head of the Cao family, Cao Wei's great Sima Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, these stability and great victories finally gave Jiangdong enough confidence, so that Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangdong, finally found a reason to persuade Sun Quan to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Then at the same time that Sun Quan himself wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, Liu Xuande was seriously ill, knowing that his time was short, he directly began to appoint Tuogu, and then it happened that Cao Zhen didn't know why he crossed Nanjun directly, and it may be because of Huang Quan's navy, because the Jingzhou waterway was vertical and horizontal, and the navy of Nanjun Jiangdong was disabled at the beginning.

Cao Zhen successively broke Hengjiang Wubao and Niu Zhu, killed Sun Huan, and directly opened up the waterway between the Central Plains and Xichuan Jiangzhou, and then the Central Plains and Xichuan finally had a reason to cooperate.

Or is it a tacit understanding of cooperation, both of them are afraid of one thing, that is, Jiangdong is the emperor, which is not good for both of them.

Sun Quan used to be the king of Wu of the Cao family, if the king of Wu of the Cao family directly ascended the throne and became the emperor after blocking the attack of the Cao family, this is simply a fatal blow to the prestige of the Cao family, Sun Quan can definitely be called the emperor, but before the Cao family has a firm foothold, he will never be able to be called the emperor.

The same is true for the continuation of the Liu family, Liu Xuande's accession to the throne and the emperor would have been criticized, not to attack the Han thief Cao's family, but to go to Jingzhou to avenge Guan Yu, or to plot Jingzhou, in short, this matter is also very criticized.

Because of these two things, the Liu family must no longer let their allies ascend the throne and claim the emperor, if Sun Quan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, not to mention the rest, the Liu family or Liu Xuande's face will be completely lost.

Therefore, Cao Pi of the Cao family, Liu Xuande of Xichuan, even the strategists under their command, whether it is Jia Xu, Dong Zhao or Zhuge Liang of Xichuan, do not allow Jiangdong to do this, they can not like their lord to attack Jiangdong, but they do not allow Jiangdong to shake their foundation.

Therefore, when both sides have this tacit understanding, Jiangdong wants to let his lord, his own King Wu, ascend the throne as emperor, then they will definitely extinguish his idea alive in this cradle.

Thinking about it this way, Jiangdong has just experienced two major wars, coupled with the epidemic in Jingzhou and various casualties, so it is already a little dangerous for Jiangdong to experience a fight, not to mention the union of the Cao family and the Liu family, even if Liu Xuande has just experienced a big defeat, even if the Cao family has just experienced a big defeat.

He Jiangdong is also a lot of losses, in the fight, the Cao family has enough foundation, and the army of the frontier has not been used, the Liu family and the soldiers of Hanzhong have not moved, and the manpower of Wei Yan and Jingzhou is still there, but Jiangdong has run out of oil and dried up, and one force and him are fighting to the death, it is a defeat for both sides, and the two forces collectively annihilate him, and Jiangdong has no strength to fight back. ）

Straight to the point....

Jiangdong sent a messenger to find the Great Wei Emperor Cao Pi, Sun Quan sent an envoy to call the minister, a hundred baskets of pearls, a thousand gold, two elephants, or a peddle or an oyster, disturbing birds and parrots, and other treasures and treasures.

This kind of specification is not high, this kind of worship is not not heavy, it can be said that Sun Quan has done the ultimate he can in order to be able to make the Cao family forgive him.

Cao Pi didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced the withdrawal of the army, and the three-way Cao army slowly withdrew, and Liu Xuande of Xichuan, after the retreat of the Cao army, also slowly withdrew his soldiers and horses, and at the same time, Liu Xuande's health is really getting worse and worse, maybe death, in the near future.

(Because the next things are very important, the soldiers are divided into two ways, at this time, I will talk about Liu Xuande and Xichuan in Xichuan first, and then talk about the story of the Cao family after introducing the layout of Xichuan.) ）

Liu Xuande of Xichuan has almost reached the point of dying at this time, the weather has entered the summer, and in April of the third year of Zhang Wu, the weather is extremely hot.

Liu Xuande, who entered the summer, also began to deteriorate rapidly.

Obviously, it was already very hot, but it was very strange that Liu Xuande's body was still a little trembling, and he was still talking about cold, very cold.

In the hot room, there was no ice to cool down, but a thick quilt covered him.

At this time, Liu Xuande's face was still a little pale, and at the same time there were only two people around him, one was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the general of the Shu Han Zhengnan, and the other was the Shu Hanzhong Protector, Chen Zhi, the general of the expedition to the west, Chen Shuzhi.

Because it was too stuffy, the two of them were only wearing single clothes now, and they were still sweating, and the layers of sweat were flowing non-stop.

As for the two important ministers, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan were not by Liu Xuande's side at this time.

Zhuge Liang is because he has to deal with a lot of things, and all kinds of official documents in Chengdu have been transferred to the White Emperor City, and he has a lot of things to do every day, and small and medium-sized things are handed over to Liu Chan who is in charge of the country, and those subordinate officials under his prince's mansion.

As for the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they are also assisting Liu Chan, the crown prince of the prison country.

But many major events, whether it is the war and defense line in Hanzhong, or the various families in Southern Xinjiang and the surrounding areas and Taishou, etc., are all things that he needs to deal with by himself.

So Zhuge Liang has no time to be by Liu Xuande's side every day, after all, Liu Xuande can no longer be in charge, and Liu Xuande has no intention of blaming him for this matter.

But Shu Han's Shangshu Ling Li Yan is different, as the governor of Jiangzhou, he is also very concerned about his duties, during this time has been guarding against Jiangzhou's various defenses, the most important thing is to set up a new defense line in Jiangzhou, which is the top priority.

And then.... The reason why he did this was completely because the weather was hot enough, and he couldn't stay in Liu Xuande's room at all.

Liu Xuande also knew about this matter, and he didn't say anything.

Liu Xuande has spent most of his time in a half-coma and half-coma today.

Today, Liu Xuande only ate a little bit of porridge, in order to make him healthier, a little refined salt was added to each bowl of porridge, which was a must.

"General Zilong, the lord seems to..."Chen Zhi used to be Zhao Yun's subordinate, but now they have equal official positions, and he is still used to calling Zhao Yun a general.

"I see, don't talk!" Chen Zhi's nose moved when he spoke, and Zhao Yun also smelled it, and after telling him to shut up, he gently lifted Liu Xuande's futon, and a foul smell rushed towards them.

Liu Xuande couldn't control these things two days ago, and at that time, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi began to personally guard his side, and then withdrew everyone.

At this time, when Liu Xuande was most embarrassed, they were not allowed to let others see it.

Uncle Chen naturally picked up Liu Xuande, who was still in a coma or coma, Liu Xuande was already very light at this time, Zhao Yun first cleaned Liu Xuande's lower body, and then began to carefully clean the bed.

Liu Xuande woke up once halfway, and his eyes couldn't be completely opened, and he silently looked at the two generals beside him, and then closed his eyes again.

There was no expression, no words, none of them knew what their lord wanted to say, they didn't know what their lord wanted to express, and they didn't care.

Zhao Yun ripped off the bedding, then put on the brand-new bedding that had been prepared a long time ago, and together with Chen Shuzhi, he changed Liu Xuande into brand-new clothes and covered him with a quilt.

"The old rule, take the bedding away, bring in a new bedding, and don't let anyone else see it!" Zhao Yun cleaned up the dirty bedding and exposed his hurried side outside, while cautiously admonishing Chen Dao.

After Chen Zhi left, Zhao Yun opened the windows that had been closed slightly, allowing the little wind outside to blow in and blow away the turbidity inside.

Perhaps because of these movements, Liu Xuande was awake again for a while.

"Zilong..."The voice was very subtle and light, but Zhao Yun still heard it.

"Lord, the window needs to be opened, and it must be ventilated!" Zhao Yun walked lightly to Liu Bei's side and comforted Liu Xuande, who was already very old.

"I... I dreamed of Cao Mengde, and he said that he wanted to drink with me...."Liu Xuande said these words weakly, and then after finishing speaking, he slowly fell asleep again.

Zhao Yun nervously checked him, and made sure that he was just asleep, without any intention of being unconscious, and then Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chen Zhi had also returned to the room, and at this time, Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Yun's movements and knew that his lord had just woken up.

"Lord, did you just say something?" Chen Zhi said softly, and at the same time put the brand-new futon beside Liu Xuande.

"The lord said that he dreamed of Cao Mengde just now, maybe he thought of his opponent in this life!" Zhao Yun sighed.

Chen Zhi's face is also very bad, during this time, Liu Xuande has been awake intermittently, sometimes saying that he dreamed of drinking with Zhang Yide, sometimes saying that he saw Guan Yu and continued to play chess with him in the big tree.

In short, these things all show that Liu Xuande's heart is slowly dying.

"Lord...."Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Yun with an ugly face, "How long can he last?" ”

At this time, it was already mid-to-late April, and Liu Xuande's time seemed to be coming to an end.

"It doesn't matter, we are His Majesty's guards, so naturally we want to give him the last glory of His Majesty!" Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xuande, who was semi-unconscious, and his tone of voice was very firm.

The two of them fell silent.

"General Zilong!" Suddenly, Chen Zhi spoke again, "Did you find the kid who was not caught by the prime minister before?" ”

Chen Zhi was talking about Han Long who left from Jiangzhou, Zhuge Liang's movements were not unpleasant, and when Han Long left, he had already made eye contact with the guards under his command, asked them to lock the four doors, and then stared at Han Long.

It's just that although Han Long's legs and feet are really bad, and his speed is really not fast, it is unfortunate that his skills are very good.

The people under Zhuge Liang's command finally lost them in less than half an hour, and because of the delay in these times, many school spies who were hiding in Jiangzhou before ran a lot.

In the end, after Zhao Yun came back, Liu Xuande said lightly, "You go and find out where that interesting little ghost is for Kong Ming,"

At this time, these professionals in Xichuan began to dispatch, Zhao Yun was indeed Zhao Yun, although Han Long's traces were not found at the first time, but the school officials who let Han Long into the city were dug out as soon as possible.

However, at this time, they have already run a lot of people, and although they have gained, they are not big.

After Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun were there, they stayed by Liu Xuande's side and never asked too much about those things.

At this time, Chen Zhi asked, and Zhao Yun whispered a few words.

"The person can't be found now, but his identity has been found out!" Zhao Yun chuckled, "Han Long, the judge of the School Mansion, is now the fourth figure in the School Mansion, and he is also a traitor to the School Mansion. ”

"Traitor?" Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, "How can he be a traitor?" Look at that kid is also quite capable, and he seems to be loyal to Cao Pi..."

"Of course he is loyal to the school government and that Cao Pi, but it's a pity that the current school government has issued a wanted document, beheading Han Long, a reward of 10,000 gold, as long as it is dead, not alive!"

"Why is that?" Chen really doesn't understand it now, "Could it be that he angered the school government, or angered Cao Pi?" ”

Zhao Yun chuckled and shook his head, "The news I just got, during Cao Pi's expedition, several sons under Cao Pi's command who had already been crowned kings suddenly didn't know why, and there were frequent changes, and then in order to ensure the safety of the rear.

Then Cao Pi summoned Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, to enter Luoyang and let him personally sit in Luoyang, but at this time, Cao Zhang suddenly became seriously ill, and the situation between the DPRK and China was unstable for a while, and then the school office also underwent great changes.

Lu Yu, who was previously denounced by Cao Pi as the captain of Suiyang Diannong, suddenly appeared in Luoyang again, and the old man got the news that he was stationed in the school mansion again.

On the first day Lu Yu returned to the school office, he directly impeached the current head of the school office, Li Hao, the king of Hades, saying that he accepted bribes from the Western Regions without permission, and at the same time shielded sinners with the intention of rebellion, and at the same time framed his colleagues, and... Frame the courtiers! ”

"Hiss...," Chen Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard so much, "These charges sound, how do they feel a little weird!" ”

"Except for the first one, the rest of the one, which one is not the responsibility of the school government, if he doesn't do anything, I'm afraid he will be praised by everyone, and he will have to be chopped up by Cao Pi!"

Zhao Yun directly said the point, but this was not enough, "At this time, Li Hao, the king of Hades in the school office, is on the run, and the reason why a little Lu Yu can force him here is mainly because another person is also involved. ”

"Who?"

"Commander of the School Office, Shi A!" Zhao Yun said in a cold voice.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded, he didn't know what he should say about the current chaos in the school office, Cao Pi was fighting outside, and his rear was actually in chaos, that is, his own brother was a little uncontrollable now, but fortunately it was the king of Rencheng, Cao Wei's god of war Cao Zhang.

"Hey, it seems that this little guy is really unlucky!" Chen Zhi shook his head, "Do you think it's possible for me to wait...."

"Surrender him?" Zhao Yun chuckled and interrupted Chen Dao's words, "No possibility, I don't know where that little guy is, but I know another thing, that is, he is not ignorant of this, Mr. Kong Ming chased the wrong direction at the beginning, he did not go out of Jiangzhou, but went directly into Xishu!"

This is also when I sent people to inspect later, and only then did I find some traces of the school office from the outside, and it was obvious that they were the ones in charge of assassination, not in charge of hiding, their skills were too poor, but they were very good at killing. ”

"Goo-dong..."Cao Wei is really a big show, "but it's okay like this, within a few years, we can develop with peace of mind!" ”

Zhao Yun nodded, "When the old man told Mr. Kong Ming about this, he also said the same, at this time he can finally have a good rest, give him three or five years, he will be able to ease his breath, and I Xichuan will still have a chance to restore the Han family!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Zhi nodded vigorously.

Just as they were talking, Liu Xuande, who had been unconscious on the bed, had actually opened his eyes slightly, but soon closed them....

"I seem to smell blood...", Chen Zhi's nose suddenly moved, and then he said sharply.

At this time, Zhao Yun also asked, and quickly looked at Liu Xuande, who was in a coma, and a bad thought suddenly appeared in his heart, "Go and call the doctor, hurry up!" ”

Zhao Yun shouted loudly and asked Chen Zhi to find the imperial doctor, but Chen Zhi didn't make any movement before he was stopped by Liu Xuande.

"Uncle Zhi, don't bother!" Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had strength, "Don't toss the two of you, really don't toss." ”

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi saw Liu Xuande in this appearance, and their hearts suddenly chuckled, they knew that this was Liu Xuande's end.

"My lord..."

"I'm running out of time, so there are a few things you two remember!" Liu Xuande didn't waste time, but directly began to greet.

"First, the heir looks stupid, but he is not a stupid person, you can say that he is wise and foolish, or you can say that he is forbearing, but the heir's heart is not big enough, and his talent and ability are not enough to support him to support this Xichuan independently!

You have to remember that you are his dependence, but you can't let him act recklessly, whether he likes Kong Ming or not, whether he is willing to accept Kong Ming's discipline or not, you must support Kong Ming to take charge of Xichuan, and you can control the degree of this! ”

"The Last General's Order!"

"Second, in the battle of Yiling, my army was defeated, and I really know that I have many mistakes, there is no doubt about this, and I also know that now many people in Xichuan wish I died here, but even if I die, they will not end.

Uncle Zhi, you have to protect Jiangzhou, and at the same time be optimistic about Li Yan, although he is from Nanjun, but he is the representative of the Yizhou forces at this time, don't take it lightly.

Zilong, you follow Zhuge Kongming back to Chengdu, rebellion is necessary, but you can't do anything about this, prince... Or the next majesty, you must have your own manpower, this rebellion is to train him and let him train his own manpower, Zilong, you have to do this, you can't bear to do it! ”

"No!"

"Third!" When he said the third, Liu Xuande's body had already become a little weak again, "Later, you will clean up my body, wipe my whole body as before, hurry up, change into new clothes and bedding, I want to be decent!" ”

"Minister, obey!" Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi knocked on the ground with their heads and burst into tears.

This time, they were not hearing Liu Xuande's fourth, nor were they hearing Liu Xuande's breathing.

Two people kneeling on the ground, from silence, slowly began to tremble, and then finally cried, struggling to suppress the cry!

"General Zilong, change your Majesty's clothes, change your clothes!" Chen Zhi has followed Liu Bei for many years, and has almost eaten and slept with Liu Bei for so many years, and he and Liu Xuande are almost inseparable day and night.

Liu Xuande is his father-in-law, and at the same time his father, now that this man has finally left, Chen Zhi feels that he has no goal in life.

He has done only one thing for so many years, so many years, and that is to protect this man, to protect this man who is like a father to him, and now this man is dead in front of him.

Zhao Yun tried hard to calm himself, tried hard to soothe his emotions, and finally endured the discomfort, stood up from the ground, and at the same time pulled Chen Zhi to stand up, and the two of them walked to Liu Xuande on the bed.

When Liu Xuande's futon was lifted, a large amount of blood had penetrated under the bed at this time, and there was no doubt that Liu Xuande had been bleeding a lot just now.

Zhao Yun and Chen Shuzhi continued to cooperate to clean up Liu Xuande's body, and at the same time put on a quick futon and a pair, and the two of them cooperated to tidy up his appearance, so that he would not walk away in the slightest ugly.

Until the end, after the two of them were packed, under Zhao Yun's instructions, Chen Shuzhi took away the bedding and clothes that were already full of blood, and informed Zhao Yun to let his subordinates inform the various officials in the White Emperor City, this news for them, either lucky or unlucky.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 32, Shu Shu II, The Second Biography of the First Lord": In the spring and February of the third year, Prime Minister Liang went from Chengdu to Yong'an. In March, Huang Yuan marched to attack Linqiong County. Send General Chen Caoyin Wat. Seeking the Yuan, the Yuan army was defeated, went down the river, was bound by his own soldiers, gave birth to Chengdu, and beheaded it. The first lord was ill, and he was lonely in Prime Minister Liang, and Shangshu made Li Yan his deputy. In the summer and April, the first lord died in Yong'an Palace at the age of sixty-three.

At the same time, when there was a bitter howl in the White Emperor City, in the other direction, the rebellion predicted by Liu Xuande did not appear before his death, but had already begun to appear when he was just beginning to be unable to take charge.

In March of the third year of Zhangwu, Liu Xuande's army was defeated in Jiangdong and returned, and he was directly seriously ill, so he had to summon Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu Han, and Li Yan, the general, to his side to carry out the matter of entrusting orphans.

At this time, Chengdu's defense is extremely empty, although there are still male soldiers, but there are not many fierce generals under his command, at this time not far from Chengdu Hanjia County, Hanjia Taishou Huang Yuanju commanded the army directly rebelled against Chengdu, not only that, but also directly with soldiers and horses directly forced into Chengdu.

For a time, the whole Chengdu was swaying, making people dare not make the slightest move, and at the same time, it also plunged Chengdu into great despair.

Zhao Yun didn't know about this matter, because Han Jia was too guarded by Huang Yuan to directly block all the news, the speed of the army was too fast, and there were too many soldiers and horses, so that people couldn't go out for help at all.

In order to better besiege Chengdu in this period, the defense was the weakest, and Huang Yuan, the Taishou of Hanjia County, even directly burned Linqiong City, and the fire spread for several days, and then let Chengdu also see Huang Yuan's determination, which is an existence that is determined to break the net with Chengdu.

rebelled in Hanjia County, and then directly besieged Chengdu, this look, there is no intention to run, this is the naked slaughter of Chengdu, and then wait for the Eastern Expeditionary Army or King Qin's army to return to Chengdu, and then kill themselves.

"What the hell is going on with Huang Yuan outside the city!" is the same as Liu Xuande said, Liu Chan is really not stupid, in this case, there are almost ordinary ministers among the ministers who think about whether they should go and talk to Huang Yuan, only Liu Chan can see at a glance that these guys are not able to use benefits to send them away.

Liu Chan has already seen that Huang Yuan is here to kill!

Hearing Liu Chan's question, many people were a little confused, they didn't know who Huang Yuan was before, but they didn't know why Huang Yuan did this, and they didn't know what Liu Chan wanted to ask.

Just when everyone didn't know how to answer, suddenly Liu Chan saw an old minister slowly move a step out, and then showed a smile.

"Alright, stand down and see how the army outside the city should deal with it!" Liu Chan waved his hand forcefully, telling everyone to retreat, looking impatient.

Many courtiers slowly retreated, but one of the old ministers walked very slowly, and the place where he was standing before was relatively far behind, and at this time, when he could slow down, he ran directly to the rear.

When everyone was gone, he stopped and turned to look at Liu Chan.

"Let's all step aside!" Liu Chan didn't have any doubts about his stay, and waved his hand to let the attendants and others around him also retreat.

After everyone left, the old minister walked not far from Liu Chan, "Your Highness, the old minister has some different opinions. ”

"Master Yang Hong, you and I have known each other for many years, just say it directly!" Liu Chan looked at Yang Hong in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle, "You are my brainchild, but what do you see?" ”

"Your Highness thinks that the army outside the city is so menacing, is it going to break the net with Chengdu?" Yang Hong caught Liu Chan's heart with a word, "After all, this Chengdu is the hinterland of Xichuan, if he doesn't have the determination to die, he won't dare to use swords here without authorization, even if he wants to defend the city, he can't do it, His Royal Highness thinks so?" ”

"What Lord Yang Hong said is exact, but I really can't figure it out, although Huang Yuan is not a small family, but there is no big move, he has been honest for so many years, and our father and son have also treated him.... No mistreatment! ”

"Your Highness, haven't you seen his intention to attack Linqiong City?" Yang Hong chuckled, he also just figured it out, during this time, because of this Huang Yuan, he was also worried every day, although Chengdu City is tall and strong, and there are many soldiers and horses in the city, but there are no reliable generals, and it is easy to move troops, I am afraid that something will happen.

But when Huang Yuan set Linqiongcheng on fire, he suddenly figured out that this guy had acted in a good show, but he was a little too deliberate.

Liu Chan hadn't figured it out yet, but just said according to his thoughts, "That Huang Yuan just wants to demonstrate against us, and then attack Chengdu, which shows that he has the determination to die!" ”

Yang Hong shook his head again and said with a chuckle.

"With this mere Huang Yuan, he can't beat Chengdu!"

"Lord Jiang Wan, they have discussed, they think that maybe it is because Huang Yuan wants to try to attack Chengdu, but if the attack can't be defeated, he will occupy Nanzhong from Yueshan, and then mix with those Nanzhong barbarians who are making endless trouble."

Yang Hong still shook his head, "What His Highness said is still not right, he Huang Yuan can't do this!" ”

"Lord Yang Hong, please advise!"

"Huang Yuan has always had a fierce temperament and doesn't talk about kindness, how could he do this? He just wanted to go down the river to the east, hoping that the Lord would be safe, and he would be arrested and put to death; If the lord has any misfortune, he will only defect to Soochow to beg for his life. Ordered Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan to arrest him only by intercepting him at the mouth of Nan'an Gorge. ”

Yang Hong's words were very bold, he actually said that Huang Yuan, who burned the city, actually said that he wanted to visit their lord Liu Xuande, but Liu Chan still knew the point he wanted to say, it didn't matter whether Huang Yuan went to find his father or not, the important thing was that he could go down the river in this way.

But the same problem has now arisen, Chengdu has not many soldiers and horses, and it is very difficult to guard against the whole Chengdu, if the soldiers and horses are divided according to Yang Hong's statement, go to "intercept" Huang Yuan, if Yang Hong guesses wrong, I am afraid that Chengdu will really not be able to keep.

"Master Yang Hong, you must know that this is not child's play!" Liu Chan gritted his teeth, "If it's a mistake, my Chengdu will cease to exist!" ”

"Your Highness, please, decide!"

Yang Hong bowed and said to Liu Chan, looking like he was asking Liu Chan to make a decision.

This is indeed a very difficult choice for Liu Chan, not to mention the rest, now those soldiers and generals in Chengdu, there are not too many people available, and the only one who can still handle it may be his prince's palace guards.

But if people are transferred from Liu Chan's own prince's palace guards, the protection around him will be empty, even if Yang Hong guessed correctly, they won a big victory, but Yang Hong didn't think about it, would he Liu Chan be assassinated by those ill-intentioned people in Chengdu?

After all, now Liu Yong is still alive, and those Xichuan clans under his command are also alive, if they are all alive, and his own guards are gone..... Liu Chan didn't dare to imagine.

In the same way, if you let it go and stick to Chengdu, no matter what the group of people outside want to do, whether it is to attack Chengdu, or occupy Nanzhong, or simply go down the river to Jiangdong.

It doesn't matter, they can go wherever they want, as long as Liu Chan guards Chengdu and guards him, then he can sit and wait for his army to arrive, and when Zhuge Liang and others find out that something is wrong, reinforcements will naturally arrive.

"Boss Yang Hong, the kid knows that what you said is a wise saying, but the kid still thinks that this is safe...."Liu Chan still feels that everything is stable, and after listening to Yang Hong's words today, he is also a lot more relieved, and he doesn't have to worry about it day and night.

But when he was halfway through his words, he saw Yang Hong, who was smiling and silent, and finally pursed his lips.

"Lord Yang Hong...."Liu Chan suddenly felt a little incompetent, and he suddenly felt that the old man in front of him looked at him with a smile of deep disappointment.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry too much, now I'm tired in Xichuan, no matter what, I should seek stability!" Yang Hong chuckled and said, "The prince's decision is right, the old minister has retired!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Hong slowly retreated, as he said, he could do anything, but he couldn't make decisions for the crown prince of Shu Han.

Just as Yang Hong was about to leave the main hall, Liu Chan behind him suddenly spoke.

"Boss, I don't know where Lone Dang will send his troops...."Liu Chan's voice has tried his best to be calm, but there is still a little nervousness in it, and finally he simply said directly, "Forget it, Lone doesn't want to ask so clearly, there are two generals under Lone's command, Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan, they can obey your dispatch!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan personally walked down the steps of the palace, and then handed over the prince's seal in his hand to Yang Hong, as if he had handed over his net worth and life.

"Where are Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan!" Liu Chan yelled outside, and two majestic generals walked out from both sides and stood in front of Liu Chan.

"The end will be here!"

Looking at Chen Cao and Zheng Sui, Liu Chan took a deep breath, "Chengdu soldiers must not be moved lightly, otherwise once Huang Yuan finds out, he will try to attack Chengdu if he wants to flee to Jiangdong, so this time it will be the lone guard, you two must obey the orders of Lord Yang Hong!" ”

After Chen Cao and Zheng Sui heard this, they hurriedly knelt down towards Liu Chan, "The last general will never let His Highness down, I will go back when I go, Your Highness take care of yourself!" ”

"Go, Lone is waiting here for your news!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan returned to his prince's mansion by himself, Liu Xuande was not in Chengdu for so long, from the beginning of the crusade against Jiangdong, to the current Liu Xuande Tuogu, Liu Chan has lived in his prince's mansion very honestly for so long.

Including the administration, he stood at the foot of the steps of the palace and never took a step beyond the thunder pool.

Only when the administration is over and the official documents need to be reviewed will he walk up the steps, but he will put a small table under the dragon chair, and do not touch the position that does not belong to him.

Yang Hong looked at the back of the man who left alone, his lips trembled, "Everyone, everyone underestimated this prince, everyone underestimated this prince!" Sun Deng of Wu, Cao Pi of Wei, what are you afraid of! ”

After sighing, Yang Hong gathered his mind, and then said to the two generals, Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan.

"You are all the prince's personal guards, now you must act quickly and be cautious!" Yang Hong admonished, "Although there are Huang Yuan dog thieves besieging the city outside the city now, the old man expects that he must have scattered and gathered, ready to escape, you go directly from the north gate, there must be a vacant camp, and then quietly pass through the camp, and go directly to the ambush!"

Remember, even if they are all empty camps, you can't act recklessly, our purpose is to capture the traitor Huang Yuan, after you get out of the city, you will rush directly to the mouth of Nan'an Gorge as soon as possible, wait for the arrival of Huang Yuan and others, and then capture him in a battle, and after capturing him, we can recruit the soldiers and horses of Hanjia County. ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan are the generals under Liu Chan, and like Liu Chan, they are not good at moving their mouths, and silence can represent them more.

That night, the north gate of Chengdu slowly opened, and a vote of soldiers and horses slowly came out of the north gate.

They also felt frightened because of Huang Yuan outside for a short period of time, and Jiang Wan and other subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion always felt that it was all because Huang Yuan wanted to go from Yueshan, so as to occupy these places in Nanzhong and become a soil overlord.

But after Huang Yuan attacked Linqiong City and burned Linqiong City with a fire, they didn't dare to calculate, this approach was too ruthless, not like the meaning of good.

Now no one dares to say what they think, and everyone is not qualified to take any responsibility now, and at this time, the city gate of Chengdu was opened, and there were soldiers and horses going out, and everyone was stunned at this time.

"Hurry up and find out, who went out, and who ordered them to go out, now everything has to be safe, after the prime minister knows, he will naturally find a way!" Now the only thing the ministers of Jingzhou can do is hope that their prime minister will come back.

But now things are obvious, some people don't want to wait for their great prime minister to come back, so they take the lead and want to turn the tide, which is a kind of denial and indifference to them!

So with the joint efforts of many ministers, the news that Yang Hong saw Liu Chan spread far and wide, and Liu Chan's personal guards were taken away by his personal generals Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan, and then went out of the north gate, and did not use the garrison soldiers and horses in Chengdu.

Even so, they were filled with anger, and they felt that their position had been challenged.

"Go and find the pet!" As a general stationed in Chengdu, Xiang Pet was naturally the first to be called, and of course it was his own uncle, Shi Xianglang, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who called him over.

Soon, Xiang Pet, who was covered in armor, came running and came to his uncle Xiang Lang.

"Uncle, what are you calling your nephew? At this time, Chengdu is in crisis, and we have to garrison the Chengdu city wall, and we can't for a moment..."

Before Xiang Pet's words were finished, Xiang Lang slapped him, "Do you still have the face to be stationed in Chengdu?" Uncle asks you, "Why did you open the gates of the city and let those people out of the city, and who were they?" ”

Xiang Pet was blinded by his uncle's slap and couldn't help but be at a loss.

"They are the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and the generals of the Prince's Mansion who lead them are also holding the Prince's seal in their hands, why should their nephews stop them!"

"Confused!" Xiang Lang saw that his nephew still dared to quibble, and couldn't help but be furious, "Are those people the prince's guard?" They are my soldiers and horses in Chengdu, if Huang Yuan and others outside attack Chengdu, do we need them to go to the city to fight, how can you let them out! ”

Xiang Pet looked at his uncle, and he was really a little speechless.

"Uncle, the little nephew feels that he can hold Chengdu, although the little nephew does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, but he is confident that he can block the Huangyuan dog thief, you don't have to..." Xiang Pet felt that his ability had received humiliation and distrust from his uncle, but before he finished speaking, he was slapped again by his uncle.

"Confused, you confused!" After Xiang Lang finished scolding, he snorted coldly at Xiang Pet, and then said to the people around him.

"Everyone, hurry up with me to meet the prince, Yang Hong's dog thief coaxed the prince to be young, and we will definitely not let Yang Hong succeed!"

"That's exactly what your lord said!" The subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not leave a small number, so at this time, many people bowed to Xiang Lang, expressing their willingness to follow.

One after another subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or one after another people from the Jingzhou faction, walked directly outside, and the many Yizhou subordinate officials who watched did not know how they should speak, and they also looked at Xiang Pet who did not know how to behave.

They all know that this is Xiang Lang telling all the people of Yizhou that who is in charge of this Xichuan now.

Just when Xiang Pet was at a loss, a figure walked up to him, chuckled and said to him, "Don't think about it, they are just blinded by power, and soon they will come to their senses." ”

After finishing speaking, the old figure slowly walked past Xiang Pet's side.

Xiang Pet looked at the figure, then opened his mouth, and finally arched his hand towards him, and also left the Prime Minister's Mansion, returning to where he should go, he didn't want to fight for power, all he wanted was to protect the Chengdu City under his feet, that's all.

Just after Xiang Pet also left, there were very few subordinate officials in Jingzhou in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and they all sighed silently in the end, got up and left, but before leaving, they still said a word.

"I'll wait, I'll be an official, and I'll go home!"

Finally, after watching all the Jingzhou lineages leave, the few Yizhou officials suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll wait, continue to process the official documents!"

"No!"

The subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion began to continue to process official documents, and a group of uninvited guests also came to the door of the Prince's Mansion.

"We are the ministers of the humerus of Shu Han, and the prime minister asked me to assist the prince before leaving, why are you blocking us now!" In front of the Prince's Mansion, a group of ministers of the Jingzhou faction, under the leadership of Xiang Lang and others, were confronting a young general in front of the Prince's Mansion.

No matter how those people talked, but the young general in front of the prince's mansion just didn't say anything, just didn't speak, just stopped in front of the prince's mansion and didn't let them in.

This scene made everyone even more angry.

"Huo Shaoxian!" Xiang Lang looked at the half-grown child in front of him, and scolded angrily, "You are also a close person around the prince, you should persuade the prince, why did you turn a blind eye to Xichuan Yang Hong coaxing the prince like this!" ”

That Huo Shaoxian was Huo Yi, the son of Huo Jun, the iron-walled general of Xichuan, who was included in the mansion by Liu Xuande after Huo Jun's death, and has been accompanying his son, who is now Liu Chan, the prince of Shu Han.

When Liu Chan was named the crown prince, he was appointed as the prince's housekeeper.

At this time, this prince who was born in Jingzhou was really blocking in front of them, making them unable to enter.

Just when Xiang Lang was thinking about whether he should directly impact the Prince's Mansion, a person with a smile on his face walked out directly behind Huo Yi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why are you doing this, I don't know where the kid is a little inconsiderate?" Liu Chan walked out of the prince's mansion with a chuckle on his face, and listening to him, it seemed that it was not Xiang Lang and the others who were forcing the palace now, but what he Liu Chan had done wrong.

Many adults saw Liu Chan's appearance, and they didn't feel that there were any exceptions, mainly because Liu Chan had given them such an impression for so many years, cowardly and weak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xiang Lang was the first to walk out, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent his own guards out of the city, why don't you discuss it with us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that others, that is, the subordinate officials of the Jingzhou faction who followed him behind Xiang Lang were a little confused, and Xiang Lang's question just now was really too much.

"Bastard!" Huo Yi didn't care about Xiang Lang's age and qualifications at this time, and roared directly at him, "You are a courtier, you dare to be so presumptuous!" ”

In fact, after Xiang Pet finished speaking, he also had some regrets, but he was a good-looking person, and before he could figure out how to say this matter satisfactorily, he heard Huo Yi, a junior, shouting at him.

He was also immediately furious, and snorted coldly directly at him, "The old man does things, what do you know as an ignorant child, and if you dare to be presumptuous, the old man will personally kill you with a rod!" ”

When this sentence was spoken, the faces of the people behind him suddenly changed.

Huo Yi is not only Liu Chan's henchman, but also the prince of the Prince's Mansion, and his father Huo Jun is the former Xichuan barrier, and he was raised by Liu Bei himself.

With such a person, talking to Lang is too much.

Huo Yi didn't say a word when he heard this, so he wanted to reason with him, but he was interrupted by Liu Chan as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Shaoxian, shut up!" Liu Chan still has that smile, and he still has no change to himself or the ministers who came to force the palace in Jingzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to say." Liu Chan chuckled and let go of the door, and at the same time pulled his Huo Shaoxian behind him, blocking him with his own body.

Looking at the appearance of invitation, Xiang Lang, who didn't know how to be polite just now, didn't dare to raise his legs and go inside at this time, but bowed down and asked the prince Liu Chan to take a step forward.

"In that case, then you're welcome!" Looking at the important ministers of Shu Han who looked like this, Liu Chan smiled, and walked in with Huo Shao first, followed by more than ten ministers.

In the prince's mansion, many ministers thought together that the prince Liu Chan impeached Yang Hong, the minister who had just advised him, saying that he disregarded the prince's safety and made such nonsense.

After everyone finished speaking, Liu Chan still had a smile on his face, and just said softly.

"Lone has many adults to protect, what are you afraid of, if you can't protect Lone's life, there are always thousands of troops under Lone's command, and then it can't be stable!"

Liu Chan's words were sincere, and it could be seen that he was sincere in saying these words, but even so, he could see that the group of people in front of him did not want to give up.

He knew he couldn't seem to let them settle down, and he couldn't turn against them.

stopped Huo Shaoxian, who was full of anger, with his eyes, and then Liu Chan continued to talk to them with a smile on his face, and naturally accepted their words, but he didn't agree to take Yang Hong down, and only said that he was waiting for the prime minister to return.

In the end, Xiang Lang was stubborn, and directly took the case and asked Liu Chan.

"Why didn't the prince think about the prime minister when he sent out the army, now I want the prince to take down Yang Hong, but you are pushing back, and you have to wait until the prime minister comes back!"

Hearing this, many people were silent, and at the same time, they silently pulled this stubborn guy into their blacklist in their hearts, and they swore that they would never want to associate with this fool who couldn't rub sand in his eyes in his life, it was too easy to get into trouble.

However, Liu Chan still didn't have any anger, just looked at Xiang Lang with a smile, and continued to chuckle.

"Gu Ye just wants to try to see if he can capture Huang Yuansheng back, after all, when his father entrusted Gu, he also had a lot of arrangements for Gu!"

When Liu Xuande asked Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, although they hadn't been there, they had heard about it, but they didn't remember what they had to say to Liu Chan, and they didn't even think about letting Liu Chan deal with it at the beginning.

It's just that someone brought back a sentence, "Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small..."

Looking at the confused crowd, Liu Chan chuckled and said, "When my father was in Tuogu, he specifically told Prime Minister Zhuge that if I can assist the heir of Duke Liu, then let the prime minister replace him, after all, they are all prime ministers!" ”

Liu Chan said this sentence with a smile on his face, without the slightest trace of fireworks, but everyone was at a loss and didn't know how to speak as if they were stuck in their necks.

"After all, they are all prime ministers..."This sentence made Xiang Lang learn to shut up.
