Xiping 9th year, April

Tai Shi Ci led the fleet and returned to the Japanese slave country, and this time, he did not bring heavy talents, but brought a large number of strong troops, Liu Bei received the edict of the Son of Heaven, and immediately gathered the entire Ningzhou county soldiers, including some military brigades left in Ningzhou, a total of tens of thousands, with Tai Shi Ci, came to the Japanese slave country.

When this large number of troops disembarked from the ship, the whole island and the nations were in panic.

Liu Bei was the first to look for Liu Mo, but he didn't expect it, but it was Xun You who came out to greet him, Xun You didn't seem to think that Liu Bei would come, and was a little shocked by his arrival, but he still hurriedly asked Gongsun Zhan to help, first arranged the accommodation and food of these soldiers, and kindly pulled Liu Bei into the palace, compared to Xun You, Liu Bei was even more stunned.

What's going on here?

He remembered that when he met in Donghao before, Xun You treated everyone very coldly, and he never said a word to himself, let alone so kind, he was a little flattered, and after greetings, he talked about the purpose of his visit, and told the edict of the Son of Heaven, Xun You nodded and said: "When you see Liu Gong later, don't be stunned, don't look at his face for a long time..."

Liu Bei frowned, thoughtfully, nodded, and thanked him repeatedly.

Walked into the palace, Liu Mo was dealing with the case on the song, he had already sent people to take over the territory of the two kingdoms of Weiwu and Iza, and sent people everywhere to the countries to persuade them to surrender, with the treatment of the three kingdoms of Weiwu, Ixi, and Duzhi, and the return of the evil horse, most of the countries expressed their submission, and did not dare to be arrogant and insult the Han envoys.

was busy, Liu Bei and Xun You walked in together, Liu Bei bowed and said, "Meet Liu Gong!" ”

Liu Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly turned his head, walked up with a smile, and helped Liu Bei, Liu Bei raised his head, his face remained unchanged, and said: "Prepare for the edict of the Son of Heaven, come to help...", Liu Mo asked him to sit down, Xun You also sat aside, Xun You was a little surprised in his heart, Liu Bei, after meeting Liu Mo, was not a little alarmed, and his face did not change.

Even if I had warned me beforehand, such a reaction was still incredible.

Liu Mo chatted with Liu Bei again, said a lot of trivial things, Liu Bei was not troubled or impatient, listened carefully, neither humble nor arrogant, Liu Mo just liked his appearance, in today's world, only Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei can listen to their words like this, and most of the rest of the people are unwilling, but because of their own position, they have no choice but to listen to it.

Previously, Emperor Xiaokang listened to it like this, but it's a pity... This is not the case today.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Liu Bei said: "This time I came, headed by Liu Gong, and the soldiers I brought were all under the orders of Liu Gong...", Liu Mo thought for a moment and said: "In this way, General Gongsun Zhan will be the mainstay, and the people you bring will go to the countries to parade to find out the whereabouts of the thieves and deter the Quartet.

"By the way, General Huang, let's also rush together, if Xuande is not annoyed, let him command the army... I heard that Xuande doesn't know about soldiers? I don't know if Xuande minds? Liu Ming asked sincerely, Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I have never been in charge of the army, and with General Huang's help, I naturally can't ask for it, I don't know if Liu Gongke has other orders?" ”

Liu Mo shook his head, looked at Xun You, and asked, "Xun Jun, what do you see?" ”

"I am willing to obey the order of Duke Liu."

"Don't be like this, your talent, my ten... I hope you can tell me the truth..."

"I think that there is no need to use the method of parade, directly order General Gongsun, General Huang, and General Xun to go to the countries, and ask them to return to the country, and if they do not follow the country, they will not be eliminated from the country, and now there is no one who can compete with the Han Dynasty, and it should not be delayed for a long time, and it should be resolved quickly, with today's military strength, if you live on the island for a long time, it will cost a lot of materials, so it is better to solve the major matter quickly..."

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Liu Mo nodded, looked at Liu Bei, and said, "Just follow what Xun Jun said." ”

Xun Yu also asked Da Yu to accompany them to solve the matter of words.

The next day, Liu Bei did not stay long, and left the country directly, and the sky was still dripping with light rain, hazy.

Gongsun Chan took his brave battalion that looked mighty, Huang Zhong led the county coalition army under Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also followed, before leaving, Xun You repeatedly instructed that he must completely deter the countries and make them lose all their thoughts of resistance.

As for Huang Zhong, he does not participate in everything, he is only responsible for the war, Liu Bei follows him, it is rare to have such an opportunity to march, Liu Bei naturally did not let go, along the way he was consulting Huang Zhong about marching things, including some knowledge of war, although Huang Zhong was silent, however, he did not shirk to Liu Bei, after Liu Bei asked, he also explained one by one to solve his doubts.

Later, Gongsun Chan was also very interested in this and joined their conversation, of course, Liu Bei had no right to speak, he could only listen to Gongsun Chan and Huang Zhong arguing, Gongsun Chan and Huang Zhong, the marching style is diametrically opposed, Huang Zhong believes that in the battle, the infantry should be the mainstay, and in the future battle, the infantry can be equipped with a large number of horses.

After arriving at the battlefield, dismount to fight, because after the horse charges, it is difficult to maintain physical strength, not enough to fight for a long time, and it is very limited by the terrain, not to mention, the bow and crossbow will definitely be strengthened in the future, the role of the cavalry will gradually decrease, or should the horse become a tool for transporting soldiers.

These remarks of his caused Gongsun Chan to fight back, Gongsun Chan said: "Gong's words are wrong, the advantage of cavalry, lies in the speed of its comings and goings, with the speed of the offensive, naturally, the physical strength of the war horse has always been a problem, however, in Wuhuan, the land that has become inferior, there are some short horses, these horses, not afraid of the terrain, can be fed with all kinds of food, and their physical strength is extremely good..."

"As for the bow and crossbow, after the development of the bow and crossbow, the cavalry is equipped with the bow and crossbow, running back and forth, shooting from a long distance, who can resist?"

Neither of the two could convince anyone, the fight was endless, Huang Zhong has always been calm, but when it comes to military aspects, he did not maintain his demeanor, and he was very rude to argue with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei was afraid that there would be a conflict between them, so he persuaded the two with a smile and said: "The two have their own opinions, why not write works, such as today's reading hall, which was built by the prince in the past." ”

"The writings of the great sages can be entered here, copied and copied, for the world to see.... The two generals wrote books, one to teach the latecomers, and the other to see whose theory is more popular..."

Both men thought for a moment and stopped arguing.

However, after the dispute, the two of them did not become estranged or conflicted, on the contrary, their relationship became closer, which made Liu Bei a little confused.

When they arrived in the first small country, Gongsun Chan brought the two of them over again, and Da Yu was also called over by him, and Gongsun Chan asked straight to the point: "How to do something deterrent and let him follow?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The general doesn't have to do much, just lead the army to go, station it in Cheng, and let his king go out to meet him..."

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he shook his head and said what he thought, and when he heard it, everyone was shocked, especially Liu Bei and Da Yudu, who shook their heads frantically and said: "This is impossible, general, in this way, I am afraid that the war will continue all the way, and it will be difficult to return quickly..."

"It's okay, just the countries of the island, don't care!"

Gongsun Chan made his own decision.

Since then, in the past two months, the group has traveled all over the country, and even Yamatai has not let go.

In July, they returned to the Japanese slave state.

Immediately, a soldier entered the door to tell Liu Mo and Xun Yu that General Gongsun had returned!

Liu Mo and Xun You were overjoyed, Xun You saw that the soldier's face was different, and asked, "What's wrong?" How are the generals alright? The soldier looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's still fine.. It's just...", Xun You and Liu Mo glanced at each other, their expressions were a little solemn, and they hurriedly walked out of the door and went to the city gate to greet them, and when they came to the city gate, Tai Shici was also here.

Just one look at it, they were stunned and speechless for a long time.

I saw Gongsun Zhan and his entourage, walking in the front unharmed, but behind them, there was a long queue, there were nearly three or four hundred people walking behind them, with ropes tied to their hands, tied in a row, with their heads bowed, and their faces were pale, but it could be seen from their clothes that they were all very human, and seeing these people, Xun You seemed to understand something.

Gongsun Chan walked up with a big laugh, greeted the two of them, and said: "This time, there has been no reduction, and...", he pointed to those people in the rear and said: "The ministers are stupid, I don't know how to deter, therefore, all the kings and kings of Wadao are bound here, and the matter of deterrence is still Xun Jun himself, I am really not good at it...."

Tai Shi Ci looked at this group of people blankly, but he thought in his heart:

You're not good at being a bird, you've tied them up, and you're shocking....

Gongsun Chan was extremely happy in his heart, who said that the brave battalion was not good at fighting, look, this expedition, we have captured hundreds of monarchs, and no one has lost, such a fierce record, throughout the ages, who else is me?

Xun You glanced at him, Gongsun Zhan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Xun You shouted angrily: "How can you be so rude to you? Don't release it yet! After he finished speaking, Gongsun Zhan came to his senses, left here with some displeasure, ignored him, Xun You went to the end, asked the soldiers to release these people, and looked at Da Yudu.

"Apologize for letting them into the city, and I'll arrange for the mansion to be taken care of... Hold them steady..."

Da Yu nodded, and said to those kings, the soldiers untied them one by one, at this time, these desperate kings, only then got up, bowed to Xun You, and said some words, Xun You looked at Da Yudu, Da Yu said: "They are thanking Jun for his great kindness, and praying for Jun not to punish General Gongsun Zhan." ”

"Oh? Why would they be so respectful to General Gongsun Chan? ”

"We have always been like this, we respect the strong...," Da Yu said with some embarrassment.

Xun You nodded, then smiled, and returned to the royal city with these kings, Liu Mo did not see them again, his business was completed, he was not the prime minister of the country, he did not have any official status here, his original task was to let the countries recognize Liu An's co-lord status, so that Xun You could reasonably meddle in the affairs of various places, so that he could rectify and promote civilization.

In this way, the kings of all countries have been tied here, and even, in the crowd, he can still see Susayuki who has already surrendered, he is a little helpless to stand at the end, and he is the only one who has not been tied up, his things are done, no one dares to recognize Liu An's status anymore, and the rest of the things can be left to Xun You to do.

He walked towards the mansion with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong asked, "When are we going back?" ”

"I'm still thinking about that famous doctor, you can rest assured... In just a few days, we will be able to return..."

"My son wrote me a letter, and when I was in Donghao, a post guard came to deliver it to me..."Huang Zhong had a rare smile on his face, he took out a blood-stained letter from his arms, smiled, and said: "Look at it, how is my son learning?" ”

Liu Mo took the letter, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "This word is much better than what you wrote, the whole story is good, not bad, there are three public assets!" Huang Zhong heard this, although he had no words, he was still in a very good mood.

"I don't ask my son to be the third prince, I just want to be safe, this time I return, I will definitely find the famous doctor....."

"You can rest assured, I will help, and Xun Jun, his family is powerful, and he can also let him help..."

"I don't want to owe favors..."

"It's okay, I'll go for you, and General Yuan of the court, these two people are willing to help, this famous doctor will definitely be found..."

The two chatted, and within a few days, after Xun You's cordial conversation with these kings, the matter of Wadao gradually calmed down, and these kings also recognized Liu An's status, and they also decided to stay in the Wanu country for a period of time, so as not to be attacked by thieves outside, Xun You had no one available in his hands, and asked Liu Bei to help, which stabilized the entire Wadao.

Even so, he still has a lot to do, and if he wants to integrate Wadao and make Liu An worthy of his name, he is afraid that he will be busy for several years, of course, it also depends on how Xun You does it.

After completing the things here, Liu Mo said goodbye and left, leaving only with Huang Zhong, and the rest of the generals were originally the generals who guarded Ningzhou, such as Liu Bei guarding the island and helping Xun You, so they could not return, everyone personally sent them off, especially Zhao Yun and others, and Liu Mo said goodbye again and again.

After taking a big boat and leaving Wajima, they encountered a very abnormal climate, starting from the Unu country and going to Donghao, the rain has never stopped, especially in Donghao, the rain has flooded a lot of crops, fortunately, there are no casualties, however, in Youzhou and Zhou, affected by this abnormal climate, there are many areas where floods have occurred.

In Youzhou, the Wuhuan water swelled, and the counties were catastrophic.

and the state, the water swelled, and the counties were affected.

Yuyang, Jinyang and other areas were the most severely affected.

Rushed to Yuyang, Liu Mo and the others had a huge impact on their travel speed, in addition, the most troublesome thing was that Youzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, was transferred to Xuzhou, the new Youzhou Thorn Shi Yuan Shao, still on the way, did not have the ability to supervise the counties, together to start to control the river, so that the surrounding disaster was serious, in addition to Wuhuan water, some areas close to the coast, also suffered a catastrophe.
