The North Palace, the Jiande Hall where Liu Bei lives, is said to be a palace, and the palace wall is a slightly wider courtyard.

When Zhang Fei came, he saw Liu Yong serving Liu Bei, who was lying on his side on the bed, his face thin and lackluster.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here."

"Yide, come closer and speak."

Liu Bei reached out and grabbed Zhang Fei's calloused palm, his fingers were weak and unsteady, and he could feel the power contained in Zhang Fei's palm: "What did Li Yan say?" ”

Li Zhengfang complained, saying that the people thought that the epidemic was caused by Sun Quan's soul. Now the first filial piety enters the court, which is not conducive to filial piety first. ”

Zhang Fei stretched out his right hand and held Liu Bei's hand firmly, his voice was soft, slightly dissatisfied: "Until now, how can there be such rumors in Jiangdu?" Xi Wenxiang is derelict in his duties and should be held accountable. ”

The folk rumors are very convincing, as if it was really because Tian Xin was gone and Sun Quan's soul was haunted, so there was an epidemic.

Now that the spread of the disease has been controlled, it will take about half a month to completely subside.

If the imperial court recruited Tian Xin back, and waited for Tian Xin to come back, it would be more than half a month later, which just confirmed Tian Xin's remarks about restraining Sun Quan's soul, and further boosted Tian Xin's prestige.

makes Liu Bei in a dilemma, whether to recruit Tian Xin back or not will cause embarrassing things.

Recruiting important ministers to come back is to entrust the future; Only Tian Xin's return will cause a more passive storm of public opinion; If the important ministers return to Jiangdu, if Liu Bei holds on, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

If Tian Xin is not recruited to return to Jiangdu, and there is no Tian Xin among the ministers, it will lead to further fermentation of public opinion in the government and the opposition, resulting in a crisis of trust between Jiangdu and Lingnan.

Zhang Fei understood his difficulties, and blamed Xi Zhen in the imperial history, and it was Xi Zhen's duty to purge public opinion.

Liu Bei blinked, his reddened eyes moistened: "Wen Xiang has passed away, and there are treacherous people in the court, deliberately spreading bad remarks, trying to provoke filial piety." There are also people who have migrated from Jiangdong, who either worship the plague Shinto, or have an affair with the Futu Dao and the Sanguang Dao, and they are ignorant and faithful, which is really unreasonable. Yide, I believe in filial piety first, Yide is willing to believe in filial piety first? ”

Zhang Fei was stunned, Xi Zhen died of illness?

His eyes were a little unacceptable, and he sighed and relieved himself a little, and then said, "The minister is willing to trust Xiaoxian." ”

Zhang Fei's answer was also expected, Liu Bei's words were blocked in his throat, and he met Zhang Fei's expectant eyes and said: "After Tao Gongzu let Xuzhou, what happened to his second son?" ”

Tao Qian's two sons chose to live in seclusion, wanting to escape from the chaotic waters of the late Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, however, Cao Pi ceded the land of Huainan to Sun Quan, causing violent turmoil between the two states of Xu and Yang, and the Tao Qian ethnic group was extinct.

Zhang Fei waited quietly, and then heard Liu Bei say: "I am often worried about the power of the Yide Army. Today, the people's hearts are war-weary, and the people's hearts are the hearts of heaven, and they should not go retrograde. After Yide returned to Qingzhou, he should recuperate and be kind to the people. ”

"Yes, I understand."

Zhang Fei shed tears, he is already old, an aging tiger, a little slack, can attract backlash.

Liu Bei turned his head to look, Liu Yong moved to the front of him, and saw Liu Bei stretching out his hand, Liu Yong leaned closer, and stretched out his two hands to grab Liu Bei's other hand.

Stuffing his son's hand into Zhang Fei's hand, Liu Bei was tired and weak: "Yide, Gongshou is Yide's son-in-law, and I will have to worry about Yide to discipline me in the future." ”

He looked sideways at Liu Yong, who was strong-looking: "Yide is not only your uncle, but also a woman. I don't need to go into detail about what will happen in the future. ”

"Yes, Erchen understands that everything is taught by his uncle."

Liu Yong bit his lower lip, his eyes full of splashes.

Zhang Fei firmly grasped his hand with a pair of big hands, and Liu Bei's eyes moved to Zhang Fei's face: "Yide, your son-in-law will stay in Lingnan and run for filial piety." Filial piety is applied only after the measure, and I understand my intentions. ”

"Yes, I obey."

Zhang Fei grabbed Liu Yong's hand and detached from Liu Bei's palm: "Your Majesty, how does Ma Mengqi arrange it?" ”

"I am compatible with Meng Qi's monarchs and ministers, and I have a relationship with children, Meng Qishu has a small fault, and he can't bear to harm each other because of his nature."

Liu Bei changed to a relaxed position and lay down, with tears flowing down from the corners of his eyes: "I also have a negative Meng Qi, and I hate to use filial piety and filial piety as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Fei persuaded: "Your Majesty, after Cao Mengde, the world has gone up and down, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Now Jiangdong is attached, and there are ten states, why ask for more? ”

Liu Bei just smiled, there was a lot of moisture in the land of the ten states.

Zhang Fei didn't mention Sun Quan, and he was deceived by Sun Quan twice, causing two huge strategic mistakes.

was deceived because of greed and self-confidence, and also underestimated Sun Quan's greed and Sun Quan's self-confidence.

Liu Bei was slow to react, and when he saw Zhang Fei open his mouth to ask, he only understood that Zhang Fei was asking about Tian Xin again.

If you don't deal with Ma Chao, it will be even more impossible to deal with Tian Xin.

Zhang Fei just wanted to hear a quasi-word, that's all.

"I am ashamed of filial piety, and I am ashamed of Yunchang."

Thinking of Tian Xin's injuries and the war beast of Beifu, Liu Bei blinked his eyes: "Xiaoxian is merciful, but he has no way to do it. Yide doesn't need to care, just remember one thing, don't compete with filial piety, you can. ”

How many Han soldiers are there in the so-called Beifu?

There are not a few, almost all of them are from the army, and five years ago, it was either the Wei army or the Wu army.

Tian Xin recruited the Hunan army to develop Lingnan, and almost transferred most of the Xiangzhou military officials in the northern mansion, so the current northern mansion cannot be dealt with for the time being.

When the sensitive atmosphere between Tian Xin and the imperial court is eliminated, he will naturally start to deal with the Beifu issue.

The problem of Beifu is very serious, even if the number of Beifu is abolished, as long as these soldiers still live in the way of stationing in the ministry and camp, they can gather as an army at any time.

Zhang Fei understood Liu Bei's entrustment, and seeing that he was extremely tired, he couldn't help but say again: "Your Majesty should recruit filial piety as soon as possible and return to the dynasty first, filial piety is good at medical skills, maybe you can ......"

"No...... The medical skills of filial piety are all in the "Twelve Strategies", and now the return of filial piety will only embarrass filial piety. ”

Liu Bei heard the drumming of his abdomen and the peristalsis of his stomach as he spoke, and said: "When filial piety returns first, there will be rumors, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei closed his eyes after speaking, Zhang Fei and Liu Yong retired together.

Outside the hall, Fa Miao, Guan Xing, Zhang Shao, and Zhuge Qiao came together to greet them, and Zhang Fei asked Guan Xing: "Anguo, when will the general return?" ”

"Back to my uncle, it is estimated that my father-in-law should go to the Wuchang area, and he will arrive in Jiangdu in two days."

Guan Xingqiang replied mentally, and now there is a feeling that the sky is falling at any time.

Even, there was a sense of oppression even more than when Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and the Jiangdong army approached Jiangling, which made it a little difficult for him to breathe.

Zhang Fei turned his head to signal, Guan Xing and a few people followed Zhang Fei towards the palace gate, Zhang Fei asked: "I heard that Ma Mengqi is stationed in Jiangxia, and he has no intention of returning to Jiangdu?" ”

"Yes, Pang Yuzhou, please transfer the troops of the North Mansion to sweep away the bandits in the territory, the North Mansion should not be moved lightly, Your Majesty wants to send the left army to move to Yuzhou, echoing the right army of Yanzhou. It's just that Zhao Gong never gave an edict, saying that he was sick and infected, that is, he refused to come to Jiangdu, and he was unwilling to wave his troops north out of Wuyang Pass. ”

Guan Xing said with a wry smile, the huge imperial court couldn't find a person who could effectively persuade Ma Chao.

After the Peng Yi incident, Ma Chao had no friends.

Zhang Fei thought of his old partner Zong Pre, Zong Pre had a wide range of contacts, and when the Hanzhong Battle was confronted, he cooperated with Ma Chao and marched into Xiazhi, to break into Liangzhou to open the second battlefield.

This was a very lossy defeat, and Zong Pre had some friendship with Ma Chao at that time; Over the years, because of Tian Xin, Zong Pre and Ma Chao have also met many times, at least a few times together. In the current court, there are really few people who have eaten and talked to Ma Chao.

After thinking about the senses of the last time I saw Zong, he said, "Zong Deyan can be the messenger. ”

Guan Xing's face was difficult, Zhang Fei went to see his son, and Zhang Shao replied stupidly: "Zong Deyan returned in vain." ”

Zhang Fei's face became grim, what does Ma Chao want to do at this juncture?

As a township party with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei's style of leading the army to fight is rough, which is a combat style, not a human character.

It's a pity that Tian Xin is not there, if he is, he will know that Ma Chao is sick again.
