The sun is still blazing in Chengdu in July, and if you look closely, you can see the heat rising from the official road made of fine pebbles. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no way to raise the heat, take an egg and put it on the ground, and it may not be long before there are hard-boiled eggs to eat.

However, some people ignore these, and there are people standing on both sides of the official road, not to mention 50,000 or 60,000, as if they are pilgrimage, and the audience is silent! At the outermost part of the crowd were three thousand soldiers, each with a sword and a gun, standing as if they were javelins, their eyes vigilantly watching the situation around them; The rear are all ordinary people, there are old and weak women and children, as well as young and strong men and women, as if for the New Year, they all put on new clothes that they are easy to wear; In front of them were countless merchants and landlords, a group of people who were very easy to debate, perhaps because of the huge family business, most of these people were lazy with work, and they were all fat-headed and big-eared; Then there are the middle- and lower-level officials in Chengdu; At the front was Liu Zhang, the de facto ruler of Yizhou and Jingzhou, and his left and right were separated by Xun Yu, Xu Huang and other important civil and military forces.

Liu Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, but it was useless, as soon as he put his hand down, the sweat came out again like a clear spring, and secretly cursed this damn rule, so that he and tens of thousands of fools burst under the sun.

There are several nanmu trees more than ten zhang high planted on both sides of the official road, and the lush branches and leaves cover the sun...... But he couldn't, he had to "enjoy" a sunbath.

Looking back at the people who were already hot, Liu Zhang felt a little unbearable in his heart, there are many old and weak women and children here, if it is heat stroke, it is not a trivial matter.

"Wen Ruo, you go and tell the people, let the weak and weak go back immediately! If the people are hot, how can I, the parent official, still have the face to be the official? ”

Xun Yu said with some hesitation: "Lord, this is a big disrespect, if the holy envoy finds out, it will be difficult for the lord......"

"Go, for the rulers, love the people as sons, and ask what parent would let their children suffer this sin? Isn't that still where we are? The officials of all sizes in Yizhou have arrived, and their face is not small...... Besides, embarrass me, does he have this ability? ”

Xun Yu nodded: "Yes!" With that, he turned and left.

After a while, there was some commotion in the crowd, and soon, countless people who could not support themselves turned around and staggered towards Chengdu with the support of soldiers or relatives and friends who had come with them.

A light horse rode quickly with the sound of "got, got", and the horse's hooves rose and fell with a piece of yellow dust.

When he was young, the light horse was stopped by Zhou Cang, and after confirming his identity, he was brought to Liu Zhang's side: "Report to the lord, the messenger has already passed the Yangzhong Pavilion, and will arrive in half an hour." ”

"Well, it's hard work, go down and rest!" Liu Zhang nodded, and said, "Get him some water to relieve the heat, this ghost weather!" ”

Although it is just a matter of kettle water, it is extremely touching in the heart of the detective, is there anyone in the world who is more sympathetic to his subordinates than his own master?

Liu Zhang didn't know what the detective was thinking, he just lamented in his heart: "There is still half an hour to go......"

Speaking of half an hour, it's not a long time at all, it's just a meal, but the question is to think about what this half hour is used for, if it's eating, drinking and having fun, it's naturally like a white horse, but if it's labor, if it's on the bloody battlefield, then it's like a year. No matter in his past or present life, Liu Zhang has no experience in farming, he has never known the hardships, and now he finally understands the taste a little.

After Liu Zhang silently recited "Calm and Naturally Cool" countless times but to no avail, he forced himself to count the sheep in his mind, and he was confused when he counted them, so he had to count them from the beginning again......

When Liu Zhang didn't know how many to count, Xun Yu pulled his sleeve and said softly: "Lord, the holy envoy has arrived!" ”

"Oh, it's here? It's good, it's good! As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up, and saw a convoy a mile away, because it was in a longitudinal line with Liu Zhang's line of sight, he couldn't see the specific situation of the convoy......

Liu Zhang straightened his clothes and took a few steps.

After a while, the convoy approached under the escort of hundreds of knights. The cavalry of the guards was obviously divided into two pulls, one of which was sent by Wei Yan in Hanzhong, because Chengdu had just experienced a rebellion, in order to prevent the rout from impacting the envoy, since the envoy arrived in Hanzhong, Wei Yan sent five hundred cavalry to escort the envoy to Chengdu, and the other Liu Zhang was no stranger, that was the most elite army under Lu Bu - Bingzhou Iron Cavalry! In Luoyang that year, Liu Zhang also taught their soldiers.

The convoy consisted of six horse-drawn carriages, one of which was a scycad, one a saga, and four sturgeons, followed by a group of foot soldiers.

"Dahan Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang led Yizhou Shinong Industry and Commerce to welcome Lord Taiwei!" Liu Zhang led the crowd to worship.

Huang Wan, the word Ziyan, is an upright person, was imprisoned for more than 20 years for offending the powerful, Dong Zhuo was first called as Situ after entering Beijing, and then moved to Taiwei, in history because of the murder of Dong Zhuo with Wang Yunhe, and then was defeated and captured under the counterattack of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and was immediately killed. Thinking of this Huang Wan, who should have died a long time ago, because he survived his appearance and escaped from Chang'an with Lu Bu and Wang Yun, Liu Zhang couldn't help but laugh, I don't know if anyone will regard himself as God, because his little wings have saved many lives. But he didn't think that he had saved a lot of people, but more died because of him, not to mention the soldiers and people who died in the three battles of Dong, Dai Zhang, and Jing Jing, and the names left in the history books alone, including Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yang Song, Huang Zu, Cao Ren, and so on!

Dressed in a robe in the car, the old man who was about sixty years old slowly walked down and said, "Liu Yizhou, please get up, the old man can't deserve such a big gift from Liu Yizhou!" ”

Liu Zhang knew that it was Huang Wan, and then bowed and said: "The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, Lord Taiwei has come from afar to work hard, and the lower officials have prepared a little thin wine to wash the dust for the adults, please appreciate the light!" ”

"Liu Yizhou is very polite, Liu Yizhou is my Han clan, shepherds the side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, works hard, and even the saint often praises, compared with Liu Yizhou, the old man is about to die, he is wrongly loved by the saint, and he is in a high position, but the corpse is a vegetarian meal, so I am not ashamed!"

Liu Zhang didn't even dare to say that Huang Wan couldn't help but dare to be born to him, after the disaster of the Yellow Turban and the difficulty of Dong Zhuo, the majesty of the Han Dynasty was greatly lost, and the slaughtered people of the Han clan were not in the decimale, and the children of the clan had long lost their former arrogance. Liu Zhang is different, he is young and ambitious, he holds the land of two states, holds the life and death of millions of people, and supports more than 400,000 troops.

Looking at the people with big heads, Huang Wan hurriedly said: "Alas, today's day is poisonous enough, and it is the old man's fault to let everyone suffer here, the old man is here to say 'I'm sorry', Liu Yizhou, I think it's better to let the people disperse......"

Liu Zhang nodded and motioned for Zhou Cang to do it.

Xun You stepped forward with a smile and said with a smile: "Old Huang, welcome to your boss!" ”

At that time, Xun You once served as a small yellow door, and Huang Wan was an official in the same dynasty, very familiar, Huang Wan respected Xun You full of economy, although the age difference was nearly 30 years old, but Xun You was a peer friend.

Huang Wan followed the prestige and said with a smile: "Gongda...... Sure enough, it's you...... It was a joy to meet him. ”

Xun You smiled: "It's fun to have friends from afar!" ”

"And my bad old man!" Cai Yong also smiled and arched his hand.

Huang Wan felt that he should be very familiar with this voice, but after looking at it carefully, the old man's face was vaguely memorable, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Sir?" ”

Cai Yong laughed and said: "It seems that Ziyan has been high-spirited and successful all these years, and he has long forgotten his former brothers, Huang Ziyan, do you still remember Chen Liucai Bojiao?" ”

"Uncle?" Huang Wan exclaimed: "Is it really you?" ”

"It's like a fake!" Cai Yong said.

"Sure enough, it's you......" Huang Wan rushed forward and gave Cai Yong a warm hug, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it, you and I still have a day to get together, it's been more than 20 years since I was separated, forgive me for my dim old eyes, even the former brothers can't tell the ......"

"Yes, everything has changed...... Cai Yong also shed tears and said, "If I hadn't known in advance that it was Ziyan and you came to deliver the decree, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized it......"

"You're old...... You're old, and I'm old...... His hair turned white...... I thought it would be difficult for you and me to see each other again, but I couldn't imagine it......" Huang Wan sighed: "We have been separated for thirty years, right?" ”

"It's been twenty-nine years since Ziyan was imprisoned by his friends in the eighth year of Yanjia!"

"Alas, I didn't expect that the fate of you and my brother would be so similar, when I was pardoned, I looked for you everywhere, but I didn't want to hear that Bo Jiao was slandered, and then I had to avoid trouble and go to the wild land of Wuyue...... How about it, I've lived in that place where poisonous insects are rampant and obstacles are pervasive for more than ten years, and my body is still tough! ”

"Although the land of Jiangnan Water Town is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it also has a unique taste, and it is leisurely to read the piano!"

"Okay, I'm worried about you every day in Beijing, and you're enjoying yourself outside!"

Since Huang Wan lifted the ban, he learned what happened to Cai Yan, so he ran around begging for help, hoping that the imperial court would open up and transfer him back to the capital, but Emperor Ling had a deep opinion of Cai Yong, and Huang Wan found many people to intercede, all of which were rejected. Until Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Huang Wan found Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had heard of Cai Yong's name, and Li Ru also persuaded Dong Zhuo to "use celebrities to gain popularity", Dong Zhuo then wrote a letter to summon Cai Yong back to Beijing, but due to Liu Zhang's appearance, Cai Yong did not return to Beijing in the end, but went to Yizhou with Liu Zhang, and it was this diversion that changed the tragic fate of him and his daughter.
