The eighteenth year of Xiping, the first month

Liu Bei had already rushed to Luoyang, however, except for the crown prince Liu Mastiff, no one rushed to greet him, everyone regarded him as the reincarnation of Yangqiu, and even surpassed the cool officials of Yangqiu 1, in addition, Liu Bei and many officials in the court have formed mortal enemies and cannot be forgiven, for example, Huang Wan who served as Jiuqing, Huang Zu who served as Shangshutai, and Kuai brothers who held official positions in Ningzhou.

and many local celebrities.

Liu Bei washed the family of Jingzhou with blood, this is not Haoqiang, this is the family, the family has never suffered such a blow, even if it is a party leader, it is only a person of the clan who cannot be outstanding, where can it be said that it is all killed? ? In these families, many of the children have official status, these people kneel at the gate of the palace every day, crying to the Son of Heaven, demanding severe punishment for Liu Bei's atrocities, if it were not for the prestige of today, no one dared to be angry, but I am afraid that there would have been a large-scale protest in Luoyang.

Liu Bei's behavior is not an exaggeration to say that he is self-denial and hundreds of officials, not only him, but also Situ Gong Lu Zhi has also been implicated, who let this outstanding cool official be taught by him? However, Lu Zhi didn't care about other people's words, anyway, he was old, and no one dared to say anything to him in person, he was afraid that something would happen to this old man.

At the city gate, only Liu Mastiff with Cao Pi, Zhou Yu, and Lu Yu were waiting for him, seeing Liu Bei coming, Liu Mastiff hurriedly stepped forward to salute and see, Liu Bei didn't dare to take it, Liu Mastiff smiled and said: "I heard that Liu Gong and Nan made the treacherous and evil fearless, nowhere to hide, for the benefit of the people of the Quartet, the mastiff heard about it, and admired it very much!" Hearing Liu Mastiff say this, Liu Bei's heart felt better, and he said with a smile: "It's all because of the help of Manjun and Guan Jun!" ”

Liu Mastiff saw Man Zhong and Guan Yu again, and said with a smile: "Captain Guan, Yuan Gong and Yue Qian are happy to have a noble son... Are you afraid or don't know..."

Guan Yu's face was shocked, nodded, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I will definitely visit the captain later." ”

Liu Mastiff nodded, so many years have passed, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu still call Yuan Shu as a captain, even if he has not been a captain for nearly ten years, they have not changed their name, such feelings, sometimes, it is really enviable, Liu Mastiff thought in his heart, so he took Liu Bei, chatted all the way, walked towards Liu's mansion, walked into the city, Guan Yu said goodbye to everyone and left, he also had to bring the northern soldiers back to the camp.

Liu Bei repeatedly thanked Guan Yu for his help along the way, and said: "If there is a time, I hope to be able to get together with Guan Jun!" ”

Guan Yu hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the full pet on the side reminded faintly: "The important ministers of the temple, you can't have a private gathering with the generals...", Liu Bei smiled helplessly, sent Guan Yu away, and continued to chat with Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff also told him, and now the denunciation of him in Luoyang, he whispered: "Liu Gongding must be careful, now, although in addition to the three traitors, but in this temple, there are many of their close relatives and distant relatives..."

Liu Mastiff was talking to Liu Bei, bypassing a street, suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front, these people were all dressed as slaves, with wooden sticks in their hands, all kinds of murder weapons, Liu Mastiff was stunned, Zhou Yu and others around him hurriedly drew their swords, turned around, and in the rear, there were also many people, directly blocking them on this path, and the people in front and behind, each with a murder weapon, were looking at the people in front of them.

Zhou Yu was furious and was about to speak, but Liu Mastiff hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm.

Liu Mastiff looked at everyone and scolded loudly: "Who are you waiting for?? How dare you besiege Dahan Sinong?! ”

When he said this, those people didn't answer, and approached Liu Bei and the others, and Liu Mastiff looked at them coldly.

"!!Shh

In an instant, listening to the sound of arrows and feathers, the slaves in front and behind fell to the ground, and suddenly frightened, looking behind them, only to see three or four hundred people pouring out of front and back, these people, some are standing on the side of the road hawkers, some are dressed as scholars, and some look like rangers, at that moment, the vendor pushed away the goods on the Hu table, and took out the yellow crossbow from the bottom!! This frightened Zhou Yu, my big man is so rich? The hawkers have started selling yellow crossbows??

In less than a moment, all the slaves had fallen, and none of them could stand, and those people, after shooting many slaves, came to Liu Mastiff and bowed to Liu Mastiff: "Zhang Que, the embroidered messenger, visited His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates are late, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!" ”

Liu Mastiff nodded, but his face was a little ugly, Zhou Yu hurriedly supported him and asked, "Your Highness?" What's wrong??? ”

"I'm a little unwell," Liu Mastiff said with difficulty.

Everyone was frightened, even the embroidered messengers, Liu Bei didn't have time to pay attention to the others, and hurriedly sent Liu Mastiff to the East Palace.

On the same day, the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered Zhang He, Luo Yang Ling, and even Zhi Jinwu to strictly investigate the matter together.

In the end, Zhang He found that these slaves were all sent by Huang Zu, the chief of the imperial history of the imperial history of the court, to assassinate the prince, on the same day, Zhang He rushed into Huang Zu's mansion with people and arrested the gray-faced Huang Zu, Huang Zu also wanted to defend that he was doing it to Liu Bei, and he was definitely not the prince! But where can this be clear, in addition to the arrest of Huang Zu, there are also four or five ministers from Jingzhou families who were also arrested and imprisoned.

The crime is to collude with Huang Zu, assassinate the prince, and want to commit misdeeds.

For a while, the voice against Liu Bei in Luoyang suddenly became a lot less, quietly, no one dared to speak out, and in Taixue and Menzixue, the students from the Jingzhou family were beaten by other students, almost seriously injured, and many people were taken away by the Luoyang Order, but in the end, Sima Yi personally rushed to the Luoyang Ling Mansion, and lent all these scholars out, telling them that the prince was not in any big trouble, and did not act like this again.

After Guan Yu sent the soldiers back to the school field, he hurried to meet Yuan Shu.

When he appeared in front of Yuan Shu, the joy in his heart had disappeared for most of the time, only more than half a year had not been seen, Guan Yu was already a little unable to recognize Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu leaned against the soft pillow, smiling, holding his only son Yuan Yao, but he was too thin, the whole person, it seems that there is only a skeleton left, the previous general who fought in the northwest and kept Liangzhou safe for seventeen years, but today it has fallen to the level of weakness.

Guan Yu sat in front of Yuan Shu, frowning, speechless, pursed his lips.

Yuan Shu's body, as usual, only his eyes were still so bright, and he couldn't see the decadence, he still proudly showed his son to Guan Yu, and said a lot, after the slave came in and took the little Yuan Yao away, he chatted with Guan Yu about other things, he looked at Guan Yu in front of him, and said seriously: "Changsheng... Your talent, I know, you are different from everyone else, you have the qualifications of a handsome, and if you sharpen it for a few more years, you can take over Sun Jian's position..."

"However, you are naturally arrogant and refuse to entrust the powerful... Instead, get close to the despicable .... Therefore, if the Son of Heaven wants you to be a lieutenant in the future, you will refuse, you are more suitable to be the commander of the town guard, not suitable for the intrigue in this temple..."Yuan Shu said, and without waiting for Guan Yu to speak, he continued: "There is one more thing, immortality... Nowadays, there are four official schools, and the science and technology are flourishing... But in terms of generals, there is still no progress...."

"I want you... The Son of Heaven asked for the establishment of an academy, such as Taixue, such as Menzixue, and ordered Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, and Lu Bu to serve as sacrificial wines and teach the art of war... Military.... Most of today's generals have grown up through the grinding on the battlefield, but nowadays, the Han Dynasty has no external enemies, and they are only afraid that it will be difficult to come out, but if there is a special academy to teach those who are determined to make meritorious contributions, let them know the art of war, and cultivate countless generals..."

"In addition, it must be widely accepted by students, and those with good grades can serve as the position of the military marquis of the Northern Army, and the rest of the people can enter the border army, and even the naval division, etc., among the military brigades, the most important thing, in addition to the commander, still depends on the military marquis, Sima, and even Qutun Chang, Shi Chang, these low-level generals... They can play an important role in the war!! ”

"In this matter, you must play this matter to the Son of Heaven, and tell the Son of Heaven that this is your own idea, don't talk about me..."

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Yuan Gong, you know my temperament, I just want to rely on myself to obtain merit, and I don't need to be given by others..."

Yuan Shu raised his head suddenly, raised his hand, pointed at Guan Yu in front of him, and reprimanded: "I am a dying person, what is the use of these exploits for me??" If I weren't there, who would recommend you? ? Who's going to carry you?! Are you going to be a captain for the rest of your life?!! ”

Yuan Shu roared angrily, but coughed violently, he looked at Guan Yu coldly, and said, "If you refuse to play, or mention my name, I will not turn a blind eye, even if I die, I will not forgive you!! If you want me to be reassured, promise me..."

Guan Yu clenched his fists, stood up, and said: "Captain, you took me to kill from the sea of corpses and blood, and killed a way out, now, how can you say such words because of a mere illness, I believe that the former fierce general will definitely not be afraid of any disease, and he will definitely be cured..."

"Hahaha, that's right, but you still have to promise me, this is my military order, if you still regard me as your captain, then do it!!"

"Subordinates receive orders !!"

Yuan Shu's complexion was much better, he nodded, and said, "If you set up a school to teach the art of war, you must not forget to teach scriptures at the same time... If there are unfaithful among them, you and I are sinners... And also... Changsheng....", Yuan Shu took out a book from under the case, looked at the book in his hand, Yuan Shu's eyes were full of nostalgia, he looked at it quietly for a long time, and handed it to Guan Yu.

"This is "Ram Spring and Autumn Interpretation"... What my master left me... I give it to you today.. Read more of this book and help me finish it..."

"Captain, His Royal Highness the Prince, or his Shuangjie, or even Zhou Yu, are more suitable than me to treat this book..."

"Hahaha, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to concentrate on state affairs, Zhuge Sima, assisting the Prince, is even more busy, Zhou Yu is still immature..."Yuan Shu said, handed the book to Guan Yu, his eyes were a little reluctant to stay on the book, and said: "If someone else wants to borrow it, you just have to borrow it.。。 The more people love it, the happier I am... Among the people, most of them are not worried, but Hua Xiong is the only one..."

"Help him more. He is straightforward and quick-spoken, and he must not let him suffer..."

"Sincerely." Guan Yu bowed and bowed, lowering his head, not letting Yuan Shu see his face,

Just because there were tears in his eyes.
