17th year of Xiping, April

In the palace, everyone became extremely busy again, just because the queen was giving birth again, even if this was not the first time the queen was giving birth, but the Son of Heaven was still very anxious, staying in the Houde Palace, he couldn't sit still, wandering back and forth in the hall, Liu Mastiff sat in front of him, looking at his father so irritable, he didn't know how to comfort, in this regard, Liu Mastiff didn't know anything, he just heard that production is a very dangerous thing, not only in the people, even the royal family, and often accidents.

Father is so anxious, Liu Mastiff also understands in his heart, why is he not anxious, worried about his mother.

The two stayed in the Hall of Virtue, but they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was very silent.

When Han Men rushed in and reported the good news to the Son of Heaven, the two breathed a sigh of relief, the Son of Heaven smiled, and rushed out of the Houde Palace, Liu Mastiff also wanted to follow, but Han Men stopped him, and said: "Your Royal Highness is not suitable to go, it is not polite, half a month later, Your Royal Highness will visit the queen, and after a full month, you can see your young sister...", Han Men spoke, Liu Mastiff not only did not get angry, but laughed, and said: "The new family, I am really excited, almost rude, thank you Han Husband for reminding me to take care of my mother and sister, I entrusted my husband with Han..."

Han Men didn't dare to say anything, and Liu Mastiff left the hall.

In April, the queen gave birth to a daughter, this is the eldest daughter of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is unspeakably favored, and what makes the Son of Heaven the happiest is that this girl's birthday and April 20, the next day, is also the birthday of Emperor Xiaokang, which makes her birth, but also adds a bit of mystery, fortunately she is the eldest daughter, not the second son, the next few days, the Son of Heaven is immersed in happiness, all day with the little girl, even Liu Mastiff can not see him, under such joy, the Son of Heaven once again amnesty the world, only Dong Pet, and Zhang Song's chaotic party is not pardoned.

This year, it is indeed a year of celebration, in addition to the queen, there is also Princess Raoyang is pregnant, Zhuge Liang, who is dealing with political affairs in Hezhou, was directly recruited back by the Son of Heaven with three edicts, and also gave him a full year of vacation, let him accompany Princess Raoyang, the Son of Heaven seems to feel that this is not enough, he also selected more than a dozen palace maids from the palace who have delivered babies and took care of them, all of them were sent to Princess Raoyang's mansion, and even, he also wanted to see Princess Raoyang in person.

However, this is also impolite, and Princess Raoyang also did not dare to come to see the Son of Heaven.

If it weren't for the queen repeatedly blocking the Son of Heaven and telling him, you have passed like this, would it be possible to shame Princess Raoyang to death? The Son of Heaven gave up, even if he had his own daughter, he still regarded Princess Raoyang as his eldest daughter, and his affection really made Liu Mastiff feel envious.

At this time, Zhang Liao, the marquis of the Southern Army, rushed to Luoyang, this person was previously in the town to guard Jiaozhou, outstanding military achievements, and had been recommended by Liu Mo, Gu Yong and others, this time is to meet the Son of Heaven, take the tiger talisman, and go to the Southern Army, however, the Son of Heaven has not summoned him, but the Taiwei Sun Jian summoned him first, Zhang Liao was taken by the soldiers, came to the Taiwei Mansion, entered the mansion, and was directly taken to the study.

Sun Jian sat in the study, looking at the young general in front of him, of course, he is not so young, but he is still a lot younger than Sun Jian, Zhang Liao stood in front of Sun Jian, Sun Jian's scrutinizing gaze did not scare him, nor did he make him angry, his face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, standing straight in front of Sun Jian, Sun Jian looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Sit down...", Zhang Liao thanked him and sat in front of Sun Jian.

"The Southern Army, was rebuilt by Emperor Xiaokang, after its establishment, successively passed through the jurisdiction of Duan Gong and me, two generations of Zhonghou, during this period, it was countless military exploits, and the prestige overwhelmed the Northern Army, I will not easily hand over the Southern Army to you..."Sun Jian said solemnly.

"I will not disappoint the high hopes of the Son of Heaven." Zhang Liao opened his mouth and said.

"I heard that in the southwest, you once defeated tens of thousands of thieves with a border army brigade, and there were no casualties?" Sun Jian asked rhetorically.

"Exactly."

"How did you do that?"

"The battle must be first, the reward must be clear, and the punishment must be severe." Zhang Liao said seriously, Sun Jian looked at him, frowned, thought for a long time, but nodded helplessly, took out a bunch of letters from under the case, put them on the case, looked at him, and said: "I'm going to rest, you read these letters, and then leave, you don't have to say goodbye to me...", after he finished speaking, he left the study without looking back, Zhang Liao was a little dazed, of course he understood why Sun Jian called himself over, Sun Jian has led the southern army for a long time, and now he is going to command the southern army, he must have to inspect himself.

However, contrary to what Zhang Liao thought, Sun Jian did not ask him about the detailed battle records or the art of war, but just asked him to read this pile of letters?

took the letter from the case, Zhang Liao looked at it with some doubts, this is not a letter, this is a list.

In the fifth year of Jianning, the Southern Army fought South Vietnam:

"Soldier Zhang Xing, died in battle."

"Soldier Wang Huan, died in battle."

"Junhou Ji Ling, died in battle."

Looking at these lists, for some reason, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly felt a little heavy, he looked at it little by little, from the fifth year of Jianning, as for the seventeenth year of Xiping, the names of all the soldiers who died in the war are on this list, and there are many generals like the military marquis captain, Zhang Liao was in the study, and looked at it for more than three hours, when he walked out of the study, he happened to see Sun Jian who came to him, Sun Jian was a little surprised, he didn't think that Zhang Liao would stay for three hours to read the list.

"You're done?"

"Hmm..."

Sun Jian smiled and said: "Very good, originally, I was very opposed to you being the marquis of the Southern Army, among the generals, whether it is Guan Yu, or Xu Huang, Ko Yi, or even Hua Xiong, they are all more qualified than you to sit in this position, however, I heard that you have returned with all the staff after several battles, and no one has been killed, at that time, I think, maybe for the soldiers, you are more suitable to be the commander, I am a wicked person, I am a good general of the Son of Heaven, but I have never been a good commander of the soldiers..."

"Over the years, in order to be able to obtain military merits, I took this group of comrades who have been with me for nearly ten years to the battlefield, in Guishan, the soldiers of the Southern Army, there are less than a thousand people left..."Sun Jian smiled bitterly, he pointed to his body, he said: "See me in this official uniform?" This was bought for the lives of thousands of soldiers..."

Zhang Liao frowned and didn't say a word.

"I can't tell you about cherishing soldiers, at the moment of foreign enemies, there are always people who are going to fall to the ground... However, I still hope that you can bring the glory of the southwest to the northwest... The Southern Army is mostly composed of rangers, and they are all good people..."

"Respectfully!" Zhang Liao bowed to him.

Walked out of the Taiwei Mansion, the general standing at the door, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Liao walking out, he stepped forward and said with some disdain: "This Taiwei Mansion, the door is really high, I want to go in and rest, but I am stopped by the slaves at the door....", Hearing his complaint, Zhang Liao was shocked and hurriedly asked: "You didn't make trouble, right?" ”

"No, in front of the dignified Three Dukes' Mansion, how dare I make trouble with such a lowly captain??" The man said with a sneer.

"Alright... Don't lose your words... Come back to the post station with me, and tomorrow you will face the saint..."

Zhang Liao said, and pulled the man towards the post station, but the person broke free and said, "Captain, I still have some personal matters, can you give me two hours?" Zhang Liao looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, but don't make trouble, this is Luoyang, not Jiaozhou, make trouble here, no one can protect you..."

The man nodded, bowed to Zhang Liao, and left.

Zhang Liao didn't care about him and returned to the post station alone.

There was a knock on the door from Zhuge Mansion, the slave opened the door and walked out, but he was startled, in front of him, there was a sturdy man, this person had a gangster face, he didn't seem to be a good person, the slave took a step back, looked at it, and asked with a smile: "This general, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"It's... Zhuge Liang's mansion?? ”

"Exactly, I don't know what happened to the general?" The slave still didn't like this person's practice of calling the head of the family by name, but because of his good cultivation, he was not angry, and the man nodded and said, "If you let him come out, you will say that an old friend is visiting..."

The slave was stunned, nodded, and entered the courtyard, this person looked at Zhuge Liang's mansion, so luxurious, standing outside the mansion, you can hear the noise in the courtyard, this slave is also a lot, he was thinking, he saw a person walked out, this person is very handsome, and the figure is slender, walked to the door, looked at him, and said with some doubts: "I am Zhuge Liang, I don't know who Your Excellency is??" The man didn't answer, just looked at Zhuge Liang quietly and looked at him.

Because of Princess Raoyang's pregnancy, Zhuge Liang was also a little anxious, seeing that this person didn't answer, he was a little irritable, and asked unhappily: "Who is you??" What advice do you have??? ”

"Alas... You're not like, you're not like him... You're far behind..."This person sighed, said disdainfully, shook his head, didn't say a word, turned around and left here, Zhuge Liang stood in front of the mansion in a daze, looked at this strange person in the distance, pondered for a long time, but did not understand the purpose of this person.

The next day, Zhang Liao rushed to the Hall of Houde and met the Son of Heaven.

Different from what Zhang Liao thought, when today's son was very approachable, as soon as he came in, the Son of Heaven smiled and took his hand and let himself sit down, the Son of Heaven sat opposite Zhang Liao, looked at him seriously, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Okay, I have been looking forward to it for many days, and my champion Hou has finally arrived!! ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Liao was startled, quickly stood up, and said, "How can the minister be so virtuous, and be so praised by the Son of Heaven??! ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, I heard about Zhang Jun's exploits in the southwest, and I couldn't bear it, so I invited you to come and want to see what such a general looks like, and now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary!!"

The two chatted, chatting very happily, looking at Zhang Liao, who was a little flattered and said goodbye to him excitedly, the Son of Heaven was relieved in his heart, he liked such a sincere person, knowing how good it was to advance and retreat, unlike some people, if he praised him to his face, I was afraid that he would immediately jump up and thank him for his canonization!! It is worthy of being a handsome general who is highly praised in the book of heaven!!

And Zhang Liao was also happy, and when he returned to the post station, he pulled Gan Ning and told him triumphantly.

The Son of Heaven praises me for having the qualifications of a champion Hou!
