Chapter 183: What Happened
Last time, it was said that the patriarch relieved Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't know the situation at all.
Liu Yuanqi took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Virtuous nephew, come with me to the house." ”
Liu Bei's mind is not very clear now, he nodded very mechanically, and was dragged away by the patriarch.
Liu Yuanqi took Liu Bei back to his study, and the two sat down, and then they told Liu Bei the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Liu Yan had learned yesterday that the Yellow Turban Division of Changshan County was fighting with the troops in his own territory, and the battlefield was in Zhuo County, and according to the report of the soldiers who discovered the situation, the Yellow Turban Army was killed 46 people, one of whom was still their main general. According to Liu Yan's judgment, it would definitely be a great victory to kill the opponent's main general.
Liu Yan himself actually wanted to take this battle exploit as his own. It's a pity that everyone knows very well that only the odious Liu Bei has been marching westward with his troops recently, whether it is Liu Yan's own army or the volunteer army he asked the gentry to form, there is no military movement, only daily correspondence. This great victory was discovered by the post soldiers. Everyone here mainly refers to Zhang Fei's father and Su Shuang. Liu Yan didn't want to offend them because of this, but Liu Yan wouldn't take Liu Yuanqi, the patriarch of the Liu clan in Zhuo County, in his eyes, Liu Yuanqi was not his Liu Yan's patriarch. Compared with Liu Yan, Liu Yuanqi's team is too far behind, not only because of blood relationship, but also because of the strength of the two sides.
Another is because the soldiers reported that the corpses of the Yellow Turbans had been looted and their weapons and equipment were gone. The weapons and equipment are very sufficient physical evidence, and Liu Yan knew that these equipment must have been looted by Liu Bei and them, so Liu Yan finally gave up his plan to eat all the credit. Anyway, the volunteer army led by Liu Bei was also led by him Liu Yan, Liu Bei made meritorious contributions, and Liu Yan, as a leader, can also be stained, and he is also a big head.
Therefore, Liu Yan is still happy to report this victory to the central government. Besides, the officials and soldiers of Zhuo County are really nests, and they have been played with and applauded by the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou. Liu Bei's victory this time was Zhuojun's first victory against the Yellow Turban Army. If it weren't for Liu Bei's victory, Liu Yan was afraid that his position would become more and more unstable.
For the sake of Liu Bei giving him this very timely gift, Liu Yan decided to forgive Liu Bei, so when he reported the results of the battle, Liu Yan also called Liu Yuan to come over and listen.
After listening to the patriarch's explanation, Liu Bei understood what happened, but it was one thing to understand, but the fact was another, Liu Bei was very awkward in his heart, he also wanted to make a contribution, but he felt that if he admitted that this was a victory, he would be sorry for the brothers who had died in battle.
Liu Bei finally chose to confess to the patriarch and told the patriarch everything about his first battle.
Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Bei incredulously, he didn't believe what Liu Bei told him. But Liu Bei is the party concerned, and Liu Bei is not taking credit for himself, which makes Liu Yuanqi have to believe it.
Liu Yuanqi's face turned a little red,
This chapter is not finished, and it will be completed tonight.
Liu Yuanqi turned his head to look at the clansmen who were still gathered here, and the expression on his face instantly became majestic, making people guess that the patriarch must have traveled to Sichuan and Shu when he was young and learned a stunt.
Liu Yuanqi said loudly to the clansmen: "Xuande is a person with great merit!" He led our children to a big victory outside and earned money for our Liu family! ”
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "But he killed my brother!" ”
With the first, there is the second. The voices that said that Liu Bei killed his father, brother, son, and nephew came and went.
Liu Yuanqi's face was very ugly, and he used all his strength to roar: "It's against you!" I dare not listen to my words! Are they all idle? It's almost gone! ”
Liu Yuanqi has accumulated prestige for a long time, and when he roared, the Liu clan really didn't dare to continue to say anything, but they didn't want to disperse, they were unwilling, they were unwilling to let their relatives die like this.
Liu Yuanqi was able to become the patriarch, and it was not entirely because of his strength. When he saw that everyone still refused to leave, he comforted him: "Your family's pension will be handed out in a few days." Don't huddle around here, get back to your own business! ”
Another voice rang out in the crowd: "Patriarch, how much is the pension?" ”
Liu Yuanqi looked at the young man who was asking, only to see that the other party was wearing clothes with many patches, Liu Yuanqi glanced around the crowd again, and found that many people were looking at him with expectant eyes. Liu Yuanqi secretly sighed in his heart: Our branch of King Jing of Zhongshan has really declined to my generation, and there is no one to be an official in the court, no one to take care of it, and the life of the clan is not as good as day by day.
Liu Yuanqi shook his head slightly, shook off his worries, regained his voice, and said to the clansmen: "Liu Taishou has not given a standard yet. But I'm here to promise the big guys, I'll do my best to fight for the big guys! Rest easy. ”
Hearing the patriarch's assurance, the crowd gradually dispersed. But half of them remained. It's just that Liu Yuanqi ignored these people, he looked at the Liu clan's disciples behind Liu Bei, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
Liu Yuanqi encouraged the soldiers of the Liu family twice, and then sent them home. Many of the people left behind found their relatives and left contentedly. These people didn't come to make trouble just now, they just came to look for someone, and they also found their relatives in the team, but the team was not disbanded, so they stayed with them.
There are only a handful of people who are still present now, and they all looked at the patriarch with tears in their eyes, but they didn't dare to attack, only Liu Xin's mother sat on the ground, hammered the ground, and whispered wildly: "Return my son!" You give back my son! ”
Liu Yuanqi turned to Liu Bei again, looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Virtuous nephew, thank you for your hard work." ”
Liu Bei's head was still a little bit unturned, he still didn't understand what was going on in front of him, how could it be a victory? I almost got myself in. So he looked at his patriarch in surprise, not knowing what to answer.
