It was night, the moon was cold and the wind was clear, but the government was very lively.

All the generals and strategists under Liu De gathered, Liu De also sent Gao Xi to invite the family in the city, the most prestigious family in the city has a total of seventeen, and some of the ancestors have held at least nine positions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which can be described as prominent.

Gao Xi's Gao family is only about the middle in it, which shows that the background of the family is by no means comparable to Liu De, a person who rose up in a hurry, and Liu De still has a long way to go.

Many of the family members held official positions under Yang Tianlong, but after being captured by Liu De, Liu De showed his sincerity and put them all home, but secretly sent people to monitor them.

They also all know Liu De's ruthlessness when he was in Yanzhou, so they are quite honest on the surface, although there was some delay when Gao Xi wanted the family to send troops, but when they got Liu De's invitation, they still came over without falling.

Seventeen families, seventeen people in charge, the representative of the Gao family is also an old man, who is the father of Gao Lin.

The musicians puffed up bells and drums, and the graceful ǔ nǚ danced with it, and along with the dance music, a team of waiters also brought drinks and dishes.

All the generals are also happy, laughing and drinking, the hall is very lively, the seventeen heads of the Beiping family have different looks, some toast to the generals from time to time, some only do silence in the seats, and some discuss something with each other in twos and threes.

Liu De toasted Hua Tuo with a glass of wine, and invited Hua Tuo: "Hua Shen's medical skills are superb, are you willing to join our army?" With the presence of a miracle doctor, our army will inevitably lose a lot of casualties and double its combat power! ”

Hua Tuo had been poured several glasses of wine one after another by the father and son of the Yang family, his face was slightly red, and now when he heard Liu De speak, he hurriedly refused: "Don't hide it from the general, the old man wants to go to all parts of the Great Zhou to treat the people, but he really doesn't want to stick to one place, and I ask the general to understand!" ”

Liu De smiled, put down the wine cup, and asked: "Dare to ask Doctor Hua, how can you heal the people of the world alone?" ”

"One person is sometimes poor, how can he diagnose and cure the people of the world with the strength of one person?"

Hua Tuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"That's it!"

Liu De patted his thigh and asked: "De has a few wishes, that is, I hope that the people of the world will learn to teach, the sick will be treated, the old will be supported, and the house will live.

Yanzhou is also preparing to open a 'Dugu Hospital', specializing in the elderly and orphans, Baishan takes filial piety as the first, some old people have no children, the old age lives lonely, life is inconvenient, and even there is no fixed residence, and those who died because of the war, I don't support who to support..."

Xu Shu waved his hand and asked the musicians to retreat, and all the generals also put down their wine cups and listened to Liu De and Hua Tuo's conversation.

Liu De said that he was rising, but he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the palace, and continued to say to Hua Tuo: "Now Yanzhou is building houses for the families of soldiers and the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

And now I am also repairing the people's broken houses, bad houses, must not make the people can not survive the bitter cold of winter, this is to live in a house, but I am ashamed, although I work very hard, but Yanzhou is poor, and many people are frozen to death due to heavy snow, this is my fault! ”

Xu Shu, Jian Yong and others came out of the queue and bowed to Liu De: "This is the incompetence of the ministers and others, and it is not the fault of the lord!" ”

Hua Tuo's eyes were slightly red, obviously moved by Liu De's words, and he bowed and said: "The general is benevolent and righteous, the grass people are excited when they hear this, and they can't help themselves, the grass people... Grass people..."

Liu De got up and picked up Hua Tuo, and also said to Jian Yong and them: "You all get up too!" ”

"Divine doctor, listen to me..."

"The big epidemic five years ago, did the miracle doctor remember? Dongzhou and Luzhou first earthquakes, landslides, then great droughts, locust plagues, and finally the plague was rampant, and the people died a thousand people, and even more than 10,000 people died later, and the people were terrified..."

"Of course the grass people remember, but at that time, the grass people were still in Yizhou, and by the time they learned about it, it was already too late." Hua Tuo sighed.

Liu De continued: "If at that time, the imperial court was equipped with thousands of doctors, what if there was only a plague, let alone today, if there are frequent wars, if the corpses are not buried, after a long time, there will inevitably be a plague!" ”

"So, I want to have a state hospital in every state, at least two or three county hospitals in each county, and one county hospital in each county, whether there are hospitals, there must be institutions dedicated to the management of hospitals, and there must be medical schools... In this way, this is the cure for the disease, Hua Shen Doctor, I am the only one under my command, An Daoquan is alone, and he lacks skills, are you willing to help me? ”

Hua Tuo was already very moved, and bowed to his robe: "Tuo is willing to use this remnant body to do this great cause!" ”

"Doctor Huashen, please get up quickly!"

Liu Dezai pulled An Daoquan over, put the hands of the two together, and said sincerely: "In this way, it will be handed over to the two!" ”

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

The two of them were worshipping, tears flowing, "The ministers {grass people} thank the lord for the people of the world!" ”

After listening to what Liu De said, the generals were all excited, they couldn't help themselves, and they couldn't repay Liu De with death.

The head of the Beiping family was dumbfounded, and was even more shocked by Liu De's ambition, in a trance, and when the banquet dispersed, the head of the Gao family walked out of the mansion and got into his own carriage with the support of Gao Xi.

After sitting in the carriage, the head of the Gao family finally came to his senses, grabbed Gao Xi's hand and asked solemnly: "My nephew, the old man asked you, what do you think of Liu... No, General Che Rider! ”

Gao Xi said slowly: "Uncle, lord... He has the appearance of an emperor! ”

"The posture of the emperor? The Posture of the Emperor? Even if Liu De broke through Beiping City, the old man never looked at him, but today, it seems that the old man is really out of sight..."The old man shook his head and sighed.

Gao Xi continued: "Uncle, my lord's policies are very dangerous! Maybe after today, some families will make a move. ”

The old master Gao said: "Whether it is a hospital or a Dugu Hospital, it is actually okay, it can't touch the fundamental interests of the family, the only thing is to establish a school in each county and town, this is digging the roots of the family!" ”

"Family, family, what is family? If this family has no scriptures to pass on, no one is an official in the court, there is no military merit, there is no title next to it, there is no protégé and old officials, within three generations, it will decline! ”

"The establishment of the academy, although it did not show much power in the early stage, but in the future, it will become the most important way for those poor children and poor people to be promoted, and the advantages of the family are gradually gone, so ruthless! If these are really done by the general of the chariot, then he is really a generation of heroes! ”

"Uncle, where should our Gao family go?"

Gao Xi asked.

The old master of the Gao family shook his head, and after a while, he made up his mind and said to Gao Xi: "From today on, you are the head of the Gao family!" ”

"Uncle!"

Gao Xi exclaimed.

Uncle, what do you mean by that?

"O Lord! O Lord! Old Master Gao sighed again.

......

On the second day after the banquet, Liu De followed Zhang Zhao's plan to send Zhao Yun to escort the family of Yang Tianlong's general to Pinggu.

On the other hand, Liu De summoned the generals and ministers, and mentioned to them about the attack on Guangping County, and Liu De also thought about this problem at night, if the defenders of Guangping County made dangerous moves in parallel and put the soldiers and horses of Beiyuan in, then Liu De's good situation would no longer exist.

Thinking of this, Liu De had to decide to completely pacify the northern part of Jizhou first, and then attack the two counties of Pinggu and Bohai in the southern part of Jizhou.

Xu Shu and others learned that this plan was what Zhang Zhao said, and they all praised Zhang Gong Lao Cheng's seriousness, and the big victory in Beiping was indeed easy to make people get carried away, although Xu Shu and they were wise, but there would always be omissions, otherwise Cao Cao had so many ministers and strategists, and Cao Cao himself was also quite strategic, and the soldiers were full of food, how could Chibi lose? {ps: Actually, the responsibility for the defeat of the Chibi War is not small on Lao Cao...}

Except for Cui You, who was secretly resentful, everyone else agreed to go north to attack Guangping first, and then use Guangping as the base, supplemented by the Xinxing Bai Qi Army, to completely take the entire Beizhou.

Of course, although Cui You is not angry, he is not stupid enough to refute Zhang Zhao's strategy on this occasion, and now refuting Zhang Zhao is not equivalent to refuting Liu De?

Although Cui You's official position is not low, he is a demoted general, and sometimes he has to be cautious.

Liu De opened his mouth at this time and asked: "Which general is willing to lead the troops to pacify Guangping County!" ”

Wei Yan couldn't wait to come out and said: "My lord, give a certain 5,000 men and horses, which is enough to pacify a county in Guangping!" ”

"Lord, the last general is also willing to lead the troops!"

Peng Yue, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other generals also came out and said loudly.

This expedition must not send too many soldiers and horses, but he is also the main general of the army all the way, which makes the generals who have been serving as deputy generals very hot, and they all know that Ji Fengrun sent someone to ask the lord to be the Duke of Yan.

At that time, Liu De's territory can be called the Principality of Yan, and all the generals will definitely have rewards, promotions, and even become the main general of a legion, although Guangping is only a county, but there are also 10,000 soldiers and horses of the defenders, and it is not a small credit to capture Guangping.

The merits of serving as the commander-in-chief of the first army must be higher than that of the deputy general!

Therefore, basically, the generals who held the position of partial general asked Liu De for his life.

Guan Yu and Yan Nan have always been the commanders of the big army, of course, it is impossible to grab this credit from them, so they watched with a smile as the generals asked Liu De to fight.

At this time, Yu Ban asked Liu De for his life and said: "Lord, a certain war, now the south is undecided, the puppet emperor's subordinates are the famous Hebei general Yang Shuzi, our army's 20,000 Yanzhou army elite can not be moved, and I also ask the lord to allow the last general to lead 10,000 Beiping troops to march into Guangping, and set the lord to determine the north of Jizhou." ”

What Yu Ban said suddenly moved Liu De's heart, whether the surrender of the army in Beiping is trustworthy, Liu De does not confirm it, if Yang Tianlong suddenly rebels when he marches south, this is definitely unacceptable to Liu De.

But the same is true of another question, whether Yu Ban led this 10,000 Beiping generals to go on the expedition, can he suppress this group of surrendered troops, after all, the army is unstable, and Yu Ban has no prestige among the surrendered troops, if there is an accident, the consequences are also unimaginable.

Liu De asked: "Yu Ban, are you sure to control these 10,000 soldiers?" ”

"The end will be sure!"

Yu Ban's tone was very firm.

Liu De nodded, Yu Ban was solemn, he must have been sure, since this is the case, Liu De ordered: "In this case, Yu Ban is ordered to be the main general, Cui You is the staff officer, Li Siye and Li Dian are the deputy generals, and lead 10,000 Beiping troops to Guangping!" ”

Yu Ban, Cui You, and Li Siye should shout when they came out to receive orders.

……

Zhao Yun led 500 elite soldiers to escort the family members of the generals under Yang Tianlong and finally arrived at a small county town on the edge of Pinggu County, because it was located on the border of the two armies, so Zhao Yun could clearly see the enemy's sentry cavalry, and the sentry cavalry saw that Liu Dejun had soldiers and horses approaching, and hurriedly returned to the city to report the enemy's situation.

Zhao Yun directly stationed his horse fifty miles outside the county seat, and sent an envoy to the county seat to contact the enemy's commander.

Guarding this county is the general [Yao Ang] under the command of Uncle Yang.

When Yao Ang heard that the enemy had only sent 500 soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and he couldn't help but understand, "What does this mean?" And only 500 men were sent? ”

The adjutant general on the side said: "No matter what the enemy's intentions are, it is better to send a group of soldiers and horses over to test it!" ”

"You're right!"

Yao Ang nodded.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate came to report: "General, the enemy has sent a messenger!" ”

"This?"

Yao Ang was even more confused, "Liu De is going to send an envoy to see Your Majesty?" But shouldn't you lead the troops here? ”

Since Yao Ang couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, and said to the soldier: "Let that messenger come over, and I want to see what the enemy is going to fight?" ”

"Yes!"

By the time the envoy finished relaying Zhao Yun's words, Yao Ang had already opened his mouth wide, and suddenly stood up and said, "You mean, you sent back our generals' families who were trapped in Beiping City?" ”

The messenger held his head high: "That's right, that's it! ”

Yao Ang sat on the chair and exclaimed, "How benevolent and righteous the general is the chariot cavalry!" ”

The adjutant general on the side was shocked: "General, forbidden!" ”

Yao Ang came to his senses and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

He said to the messenger: "Then I will send someone to receive them at once!" ”

The envoy raised his head and said: "My lord means that we will personally escort the ancient city of Pinggu, so we will not bother the general, we know that the general cannot be the master, so we also ask the general to send a message to Pinggu immediately, and then, please send some grain and fodder, we don't carry too much grain..."

Yao Ang hurriedly said to the deputy general: "General Lei, please lead the team to visit the families of the generals, and personally send a message to Your Majesty." ”

General Lei replied: "The last general respects the order!" ”

Zhao Yun's envoy also bowed his hand, retreated, and went out of the city to return to Zhao Yun.
