Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Zhang's eldest son sat on his left leg, holding his eldest daughter in his right hand, gently rubbing his daughter's delicate skin with the beard on his chin, and her daughter hid back with a smile, but her whole person was held in Liu Zhang's arms, so she could hide there! It's not in vain that Liu Zhang hurts these children so much, and now as long as Liu Zhang returns to the harem, the two villains will stick to him tightly, not like Liu Zhang's little followers, but as if they are already part of his body.

"Father...... Wang (Wang) ...... Sheep (itchy) ...... Sheep (itchy) ......" The daughter said vaguely while blocking Liu Zhang's attack with her little hands.

"Haha...... Does the father's little princess want to see the lamb? Father immediately asked someone to bring one over......"

"Father—" The eldest son, who was holding a three-foot-long pocket fishing rod and watching the fish floating in the pond closely, muttered dissatisfiedly, "You and your sister are quiet, the fish are scared away by you!" ”

Liu Zhang reached out and touched his eldest son's head, and said with a smile: "Haha...... Xun'er, you have to work hard, in the morning you boasted in front of the queen mother, today at noon to let the father and mother pay you for the fish, but so far there is not a single catch, come on, don't let the queen mother down! ”

"Hmph, it's you and your sister who are here to make trouble and scare the fish away!" Xiao Liu Xun twisted his head dissatisfiedly and said.

"Haha, I blame my father for coming, well, my father won't speak now, what if you still can't catch it?"

"As long as my father and sister are quiet, I will definitely be able to catch a big fish, well, bigger than my sister!" Xiao Liu Xun said very seriously, and then said: "But I can't hold my sister yet, and if I catch a fish as big as my sister, I can't hold it!" ”

"If you can catch a fish as big as your sister, your father will help you get it, and your father will make you a fun toy!"

Xiao Liu Xun immediately shouted excitedly: "Really? Father! What is it? Bamboo dragonflies? Wooden horse? Marquee? He now treasures a lot of novel toys that Liu Zhang gave him, and now that he can get new toys, he immediately asks a series of questions.

"Of course it's true, when did Father lie to you! You have all of these, what else do you have to do, this time my father will give you one that you don't have, as long as you can catch it, your father will give you whatever you want! ”

"Wow, that's great...... Xiao Liu Xun shouted excitedly, quickly turned his head to look at Liu Zhang, and said, "Father, isn't there a fish as big as my sister in the water?" ”

Liu Zhang smiled: "Haha, Xun'er is not stupid!" ”

Xiao Liu Xun immediately frowned when he heard Liu Zhang's words, turned his head away from Liu Zhang, and said, "Hmph, my father is lazy, I will ignore you......"

"What's wrong? Angry? ”

"Hmph......" Xiao Liu Xun snorted, looking like I was very angry and the consequences were very serious, Liu Zhang could see his high bulging cheeks from the side.

"Okay, even if your father is wrong, how about your father apologize to you?"

Xiao Liu Xun still snorted and didn't speak.

"That's it, as long as you can catch a big one that my father caught yesterday, my father will give you a fun toy!"

"Good ......" Xiao Liu Xun immediately "surrendered", but after thinking about it, he looked back at Liu Zhang and said: "No, my father is so much older than me, if I want to catch a fish as big as my father, I will suffer a big loss, well, as long as people catch half the size of their father, their father will give them a toy, and if they catch a fish as big as their father, they will need two...... No, three new toys! ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Okay, good, I promise you!" ”

"Wow, that's great, long live Father!" Xiao Liu Xun shouted excitedly, and said: "Father is not allowed to cheat, now I can't speak, otherwise my father will lose!" ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly covered his mouth, and Xiao Liu Xun laughed, for fear of scaring away the fish, so he hurriedly covered his mouth like Liu Zhang, and turned around to concentrate on catching the fish.

"Lord Wang...... "Don't come, a maid."

Xiao Liu Xun hurriedly turned his head and looked at the maid and stretched out a finger to his mouth, "Shhh......hh

Liu Zhang said softly: "What's the matter?" ”

The maid got Liu Xun's reminder, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Lord Qiqi, Prime Minister Xun is asking to see you outside the palace!" ”

"Please!" Liu Zhang knew that Xun Yu had nothing to do and would not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he would have something important to report when he came at this time, so he hurriedly said.

"Yes!" The maid walked away with a light step.

"Xun'er, my father has something to do soon, you are fishing here obediently, don't cry, okay?"

"No problem, father, I'm a man, so I won't cry!"

"A man has to take care of his sister!"

Xiao Liu Xun patted his chest very "gentlemanly" and said, "Father, don't worry, I will protect my sister and won't let others bully my sister!" ”

"Then my father will be relieved!" Liu Zhang waved his hand lightly, and the two sisters, Su Fei and Shihan, who were standing a few steps behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and took a child from Liu Zhang.

The youngest daughter was very nostalgic for her father's arms, and clung to Liu Zhang's crown dress: "Father...... Wang (Wang) ...... Servant (not) ...... To go...... Well......"

Liu Zhang gently pinched his daughter's little face and said, "Father won't go far, as long as you smile and open your eyes, you can see your father, okay?" After my father finished handling the matter, he soon came to accompany Xiaoxiao! "Note: Xiaoxiao is the nickname of Liu Zhang's eldest daughter, her full name is Liu Qin, the reason why these two names are so many because of the first meeting between Liu Zhang and the eldest daughter, at that time, the eldest daughter's sweet and happy smile was like a cup of sweet brew into his heart.

After a while, the maid led Xun Yu closer.

"Lord Wang, Lord Xun has arrived."

"Weichen see the prince!"

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Wen Ruo, no courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"If Wen don't come, is something wrong?" Liu Zhang said as he walked forward on the path made of cobblestones.

Xun Yu hurriedly followed, and said: "Back to the prince, the minister does have something to report, just now, the minister received the latest information, Yuan Shaozheng personally led the army to Yanmen, at the same time, Jizhou, Youzhou, and even Qingzhou have found signs of large-scale mobilization of Yuan's army, and the target seems to be the same as merging the state!" ”

"Oh, how does Wen Ruo judge?"

"According to the information transmitted from within the Yuan army, Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with our army's entry into Xihe and Wuyuan, so he decided to fight with our army in Bingzhou.

"Why did Yuan Shao choose to fight with our army at this time? Was it just because our army entered Wuyuan and Xihe and threatened his attack on Taiyuan? ”

"Weichen thinks Yuan Shao is scared!"

"Scared?" Liu Zhang said a little strangely.

Xun Yu nodded and said: "Yes, now the prince Yongyi, Jing, Liang Sanzhou and Sanfu have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, 20 million people, and millions of people with armor, and their strength is a great threat to the princes of the world. Although Yuan Shao also had the land of three states, Youzhou was invaded by the Xiongnu all the year round, and experienced several years of bloody battles with Gongsun Zhan, and the people died in the war; Qingzhou is the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people either died in the war, or fled to other sides, now the rest is only the first tenten and twelve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the two states are difficult to recover after several years, Yuan Shao can only rely on Jizhou at this time, at this time he must be afraid that once he shows weakness in the state, the main guild will wave the army to capture the entire state, and then threaten his henchman Jizhou! ”

Liu Zhang asked: "Since Yuan Shao needs several years of recuperation, then he shouldn't fight Lone at this time!" The war will undoubtedly greatly increase the financial expenditures, and these expenditures need to be shared among the people, so that the burden on the people will be greatly increased and the livelihood of the people in the three states will be seriously affected. ”

Xun Yu said: "The minister judged that maybe it was because the news of our army's civil strife misled Yuan Shao!" ”
