Chapter 130: Xuzhou's Final Peace Post-war aftermath
130
After Lu Bu's death, Xuzhou returned to the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Xu's mood was also very happy.
Zhao Xu helped Tao Qian recapture Xuzhou, Tao Qian's subordinates and the people of Xuzhou were also very happy, Tao Qian asked Zhao Xu to celebrate, and there was a big fuss for three days, Zhao Xu was also drunk and unconscious. In order to show the friendship of the landlords, Tao Qian also deliberately let Zhao Xu be stationed in Xuzhou City.
On this day, Zhao Xu went out of the house to go around, and before he had gone far, he saw a soldier in front of him hurrying towards his side, looking at the clothes on the soldier's body, Zhao Xu recognized that it was not a soldier from elsewhere, it was the guard on the Taoqian County Mansion. Seeing the look on the guard looking at him, Zhao Xu immediately realized that something was wrong, and knew that he was afraid that something important would happen, so he came to inform him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu didn't say much, and directly walked up a few briskly to stop him, the soldier, the soldier saw Zhao Xu, and after hurriedly saluting, he said: "General Zhao, my lord suddenly fell seriously ill, please go to the general, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”
Zhao Xu also expected that there would be such a day, but history seems to have advanced in advance, Tao Qian is about to hang up so soon, is it all the reason why he came? Zhao Xu didn't think much about it, and directly nodded to indicate that he knew, then put aside the soldier and went directly to the direction where Tao Qian lived with a few personal soldiers behind him.
After arriving at Taoqian County Mansion, the guards around Zhao Xu dispersed and stood outside the door, and Zhao Xu didn't say much. Directly entered the room, but after entering, Zhao Xu found that in this room, it seems that all the civil and military officials under Tao Qian's subordinates in Xuzhou City have arrived, and many people are still crying, especially Tao Qian's family. Zhao Xu has never seen such a scene since he came to the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Tao Qian is indeed dying, and when he comes, is he going to let Xuzhou? It was supposed to be given to Liu Bei, but today it fell on his head, but it was almost the same, all the same.
"Meet General Zhao Xu." Seeing that Zhao Xu had arrived, Chen Deng hurriedly got up and saluted, and all the civil and military officers also got up and bowed deeply. Tao Qian heard the voice, opened his eyes, waved his hand, Chen Deng saw it, and hurriedly led Wenwu and Tao Qian's family down, leaving only Chen Deng standing beside Tao Qian. As soon as the door was closed, Tao Qian didn't waste any saliva at the moment, and directly stood up with a slight trembling body, and said to Zhao Xu: "General Zhao Xu, the old and old mistakes have been committed again, I hope the general will not be surprised." ”
Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support Tao Qian and said, "Master Tao doesn't need to be polite, you are seriously ill, you should take good care of your illness." Looking at Tao Qian's yellow and thin face, wrinkled face, and deeply sunken cheeks, he was obviously not lightly ill, and it was terrifying to look at, and Zhao Xu was also secretly frightened.
Tao Qian trembled and said: "Please General Zhao come, not for anything else, because the old man is sick and dangerous, the day is not safe, such as today's chaos, the heroes are divided, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Huainan Yuan Shu, are eyeing Xuzhou, General Wanwang pity the Han family city as the most important, take the Xuzhou brand seal, keep the land of Xuzhou, the old man is also blind." ”
Zhao Xu asked: "According to the Han system, this title can be hereditary, and Lord Tao has two sons, how can he not pass it on?" ”
Tao Qian said: "The eldest son Tao Shang and the second son Tao Ying, these two sons are unapologetic and can't keep Xuzhou. After the old man died, he still hoped that the general would teach him not to order the two of them to take charge of state affairs. ”
Zhao Xu pretended to excuse himself and said: "Zhao Xu is just a martial artist, An Neng accepts this great responsibility, please take back your life." This kind of great responsibility may be similar to that of my lord. ”
Tao Qian said: "Xuzhou was originally the city of the Great Han Dynasty, and your lord Liu Bei is the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the trust of the Son of Heaven is deep, and now if you go to the court to report to the Son of Heaven, the old man is afraid that he will not be able to hold it, not to mention that General Zhao is the emperor's uncle's important minister, and the general is no different from the emperor's uncle, and it is no different from returning the Han!" I hope that the general will not shirk again, otherwise the old man will not be blind to his death. It is also said that Chen Deng said: "Uncle Liu Huang is a masterpiece in the world, and General Zhao Xu is also a genius in the world. ”
Chen Zhi burst into tears, couldn't cry, knelt down and cried: "Chen Dengding will live up to the trust of adults, if he disobeys, he will die under the sword." ”
Zhao Xu originally wanted to shirk, but Tao Qian muttered: "That's it, then the old man is relieved." After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell down.
Chen Deng cried loudly: "Lord! Zhao Xu watched Tao Qian die in front of him, and when he was dying, he was still thinking about the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but admire Tao Qian's loyalty. After Tao Qian's death, the city mourned, and Zhao Xu temporarily took over the post of Xuzhou assassin. While arranging the funeral, he and the large and small sergeants also hung their filial piety, set up a memorial service, and buried Tao Qian in the plains of the Yellow River. On the one hand, Tao Qian's testament was applied to the imperial court, and Liu Bei, Liu Xie and others were informed of the situation in Xuzhou.
Xuzhou has since returned to Liu Bei, but after dealing with the funeral and Xuzhou's affairs, Zhao Xu has long been bored here, so Chen Deng is stationed in Xuzhou, and then let Huang Zhong sit in charge, but he led the soldiers and horses back to Qingzhou in a hurry, and the Qingzhou soldiers were placed, and then rushed to Luoyang.
Along the way, Zhao Xu heard that Cao Cao raided Jingzhou, jointly attacked Hanzhong with Han Sui, and Huainan Yuan Shu seemed to have news that he was going to be the emperor.
"Husband, you just came back from the battlefield, don't ......"
Zhao Xu returned to Luoyang, went to the court to worship the Son of Heaven, explained all the important things to Liu Bei, and the night was already deep, Zhao Xu didn't say much, and went directly to the house where he used to live, and went into Zhao Xue's room. Seeing Zhao Xue, who was very soul-loving under the candlelight, Zhao Xu's eyes were like a wolf who had been hungry for a long time and saw the lamb of *, and suddenly he was confused, and directly hugged Zhao Xue horizontally and walked to the bedside.
Seeing that Zhao Xu was still dusty and dusty, and there was still some dust, Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning, struggled down, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it for Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu couldn't wait, and picked up Zhao Xue again.
However, he was pushed away by Zhao Xue, "Brother Zhao Xu, what are you doing in such a hurry, it hurts me." Zhao Xue said with a disgusted expression.
"Haha!" Zhao Xu touched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Xue'er, doesn't I miss you too much for my husband?" Do you know that after I dealt with the affairs of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, I rushed to Luoyang in a hurry, isn't it all for you? ”
"Just you can talk, poor mouth." Zhao Xue listened to what Zhao Xu said, and couldn't help but be amused, and said. Zhao Xue also knew that Zhao Xu was indeed very tired when he fought in the world, and he couldn't help but feel distressed at this time. Married and served, between husband and wife, all she wants is to grow old together, lifelong love, Zhao Xu, is everything to her, as for what troubled times. National affairs, in fact, what does it matter to yourself as a woman? But as his wife, he had to pay attention to some such wars, so as to give advice to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Zhao Xue's body, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and there was a feeling in his chest that he was about to move, and the fire that had just dissipated surged up again. Zhao Xu inhaled intently, hugged Zhao Xue's delicate body lightly, hugged her to the bed, and said softly: "These days, I have wronged you, Xue'er, not long after our husband and wife got married, we are going to fight on the battlefield, and you often live a life of fear and fear, which is rare and stable, so that your husband feels sorry." ”
"Husband, Hugh wants to say so." Zhao Xue's Qianqianyu fingers covered Zhao Xu's mouth, and said softly: "Xue'er can marry a hero like your husband, it is Xue'er's blessing, as long as she can serve her husband for the rest of her life, Xue'er will be satisfied." Zhao Xue's quiet voice contained the watery tenderness of his wife to her husband.
Looking at the beautiful and infinitely beautiful wife in his arms, Zhao Xu's heart was stirred. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for? Sure enough, it is a hero since ancient times who is sad about the beauty! Today, Zhao Xu also fell.
At this time, it was raining outside, and the raindrops crackled on the roof and windows, and the sound of rain gradually rose sharply, adding to the style of the room.
Zhao Xu blew the lamp, and in the dark, Zhao Xu took off his clothes and covered the quilt. Zhao Xue didn't have any life, let Zhao Xu act, Zhao Xu gently stroked his wife with both hands, Zhao Xue obediently snuggled in his arms, ivory-like smooth and delicate skin, made Zhao Xu feel that his whole body began to burn, and the huge sense of happiness made him feel dizzy......
Zhao Xue exhaled like an orchid in Zhao Xu's arms, and said in a faint voice: "Husband, ......"
Zhao Xu couldn't hear anything at this time, as if he was on the battlefield, he commanded his troops to cover up the enemy in the past, the weapons collided and pierced the air to make a sharp sound, swishing in his ears, thousands of troops and horses poured into the enemy position like waves, hand-to-hand combat, military generals were opposite, life and death were fighting, and a little spark was encountered, and this little spark gradually turned into a ball of flames, forward, attack, and attack again......... The turbulent waves on the bed made the bed board "branches, branches" sound.
The moonlight is bright outside, and the spring breeze is still a little chilly, but in the bedroom, it is spring.
The two lingered several times, after a long time, both of them were tired and fell asleep, Zhao Xu was half-asleep and half-awake, and suddenly remembered the poems of Fan Zhongyan who was learned in later generations: And the long smoke is empty, the bright moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is shining gold, and the still shadow sinks into the wall. Fishing songs answer each other, what is the joy of this......
