Chapter 141: Chinese New Year's Eve

The twenty-four years of Jian'an, which was about to be supported by the Han family, but were full of waves, finally ended in a north wind and gloom.

As if to make a footnote to this winter, in the afternoon of this day, the sky actually drifted with scattered light snow, and in the evening, the falling trend was rising, and finally turned into a goose feather snow.

In just one night, everything was dressed in silver, and only a white scenery was left between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, it is the "year division" of the 24th year of Jian'an, and tomorrow will usher in the first day of the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an.

"New Year" originated from the Yin Shang period at the beginning and end of the year to worship the gods and ancestors, the initial date is not fixed, the Qin Dynasty has previously stipulated the first day of December, November, October "New Year", until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the "Taichu calendar", it was officially determined on the first day of the first month, and it has been passed down to this day.

"Dividing the year" is a big day that means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, starting from the beginning, and renewing Vientiane.

Early this morning, after Liu Bei settled the army outside the city, he entered Zigui City under the escort of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Jiang Wei.

Xiang Lang, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Zhao Lei, Wang Fu, Zhou Cang, Ju Fu, Wang Ping, Shen Feng, Lin Hang, Xiang Chong, Zhan Yan, Chen Feng, Deng Kai, Wen Bu and the leader of the barbarian soldiers braved the snow to greet each other on behalf of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

In order to see the demeanor of the Han Dynasty, the people in the city were not afraid of the cold and watched from the road.

The snow was blowing heavily and the wind was cold to the bone, but Liu Bei didn't care at all, and stopped to shake hands with everyone.

He exudes infinite charm from top to bottom, not only the majesty of being a superior, but also the gentleness of an elder, or smiling and listening, or gentle words of encouragement, even if it is a cold winter, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and many low-level officials have left tears of excitement.

Subsequently, Liu Bei visited various garrisons in the city and gave him a large sum of money.

He was a pioneer soldier and horse along the way, and the grain, grass and baggage were all left in the rear and handed over to Fa Zheng and Ma Liang to escort and deal with, and he only brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, which was prepared for this time.

He also ordered one hundred and twenty good dancers in the army, dressed in animal skins, disguised as all kinds of gods, jumping with weapons, beating gongs and drums, and dancing the dance of Da Da to drive away evil spirits, so that the people in the city came to see each other.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the world believed that one of the things of "Wu" was the root cause of disasters and epidemics, and there was a ritual of dancing "chasing Wu" during the New Year's Festival. Moreover, word of mouth says that the more virtuous and respectable people preside over this ceremony, the better the effect of "chasing the people".

The prestige of Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, at this time, looked at the world, only under the emperor of Han and Cao Cao, the king of Wei, he personally presided over this ceremony, and the onlookers all claimed that the coming year would be safe and smooth, and all evils would be repelled.

For a while, the whole city was thunderous, and the morale of the Han barbarians was high.

The gloomy clouds a few days ago finally disappeared with the arrival of Liu Bei.

In the end, Liu Bei, accompanied by everyone, visited the newly renovated wounded camp. Along the way, it was an incredible sight.

He has been in his twenties since he was in his twenties, and he has seen many injuries and deaths, but he has never seen a wounded man with such a smile on his face.

Looking back and forth, the house is clean, the temperature is comfortable, the bedding is neat, and there is a special person to accompany the side, which is like a camp for the sick and wounded, but more like a simple post station.

But he said that Jiang Shang was already able to go down to the ground at this time, and after he saw Liu Bei's big car, he limped in front of him and paid homage in Yu Linwei's unique way: "The last general Jiang Shang, meet the lord!" ”

Yu Linwei is the monarch's personal soldier, and he walks around all the year round, Liu Bei looked at him somewhat familiar, and asked, "Are you Yu Linlang?" ”

Jiang Shang immediately read out aloud the number of his cantonment team, and his words showed the pride and closeness that his soldiers should have.

Liu Bei personally helped him sit on the couch and carefully inspected his injuries.

If an ordinary soldier encounters this situation, he would have been flustered and incoherent, but after all, Jiang Shang often walks around the palace, and he is excited to be excited, and he can still talk eloquently.

Liu Bei heard this, and sighed: "After being so seriously injured, you can still recover, which shows that you are blessed with great life, and you are good at recuperating from your injuries. ”

Jiang Shangden was overjoyed, and when he couldn't stop thanking him, he suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Actually, if it weren't for Jiang Zuocheng's care in every way, and Mr. Shi's skillful hands, the last general would not be able to pick up this life......

When Liu Bei heard this, he summoned Shi Bin, Wen Yan encouraged him a few words, and crowned him as a medical officer on the spot.

The medical officer is also an official, Shi Bin has been stumbling all his life, and finally became an official by relying on what he has learned, and under the joy, he can't help but cry.

Jiang Wei seized the opportunity to talk about the urgency of nursing care in the recovery of the wounded, and asked for the establishment of an ambulance camp; Before pushing Xiang Pet down again, he bluntly said that Xiang Pet has a virtuous temperament and is quick-witted, and thanks to his care, he can operate smoothly.

Liu Bei saw that the layout here was in good order, and learned that Xiang Pet was Xiang Lang's nephew, so he didn't think much about it, and agreed to set up an ambulance camp on the spot, with Xiang Pet as the first leader, responsible for grass creation.

Xiang Pet is a leap from a white body, to become the main general of the army, although it is only a second-line army, more importantly, since then into the sight of Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, if he is willing to refrain from serving the public, heartfelt and practical, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

It's okay for him to say that Xiang Lang, as an uncle, has long been grateful, and he can't help but thank Xiang Ling.

Jiang Wei looked at everything in front of him with a smile, and he didn't realize that Liu Bei looked at him with a hint of emotion.

******

The night of "New Year's Eve" is also called "Chinese New Year's Eve", and Liu Bei ordered the lifting of the alcohol ban and allowed the soldiers and civilians in the city to celebrate the New Year's Festival.

On the evening of the same day, Liu Bei held a family banquet at the office, and the invited guests were only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and a few juniors. Several people were born in the rivers and lakes, and during the war, they did not have the attention of the family "it is difficult for women to go to the banquet".

Jiang Wei also accepted the invitation because he married Jin Lan with Zhang Bao and Guan Xingyi.

Although this family banquet was held in the name of catching the wind and washing the dust, in fact, Liu Bei still had the intention of shocking Guan Yu.

On this night, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei put wine in the inner room around the hearth. As soon as the three brothers parted for a long time and reunited, they all let go to drink, occasionally talk about some old things, and when they were happy, they all smiled; When it was unusual, he scolded loudly and angrily; When I was sad, I hugged my head and cried.

A few juniors didn't want to disturb their parents, so they all gathered in the outer room. is different from his father's Rong Ma's life, who has tasted the ups and downs of the world, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Jiang Weixin married Jinlan, and there is more joy and excitement in their chests.

Guan Yinping was dizzy all night, and his little head was thinking about a question repeatedly: "General Jiang and the second brother are righteous, what should I call him in the future?" Is it better to call my brother or to call him Boyo? ”

When he was wandering out of the world, he suddenly heard his brother Guan Xing's rough shout: "Third sister, Boyo has already been saluted for a round, and now it's your turn, don't come quickly!" ”

Guan Yinping had to put away his thoughts, held the wine, walked to the brothers gently, and toasted Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, and Guan Xing in turn.

When she arrived at Jiang Wei, she actually called out the word "General Jiang" by a ghost.

Guan Ping was also in a good mood, and corrected with a smile: "Since Boyo has married An Guoyi Jinlan, he will be his own family in the future, and the third sister should be called the third brother." ”

Guan Xing shouted: "One is the third sister and the other is the third brother, they are all young children, and they must listen to the words of the brother in the future!" ”

Young people love to coax the most, and Guan Ping and Zhang Bao on the side laughed when they heard the words.

When Guan Yinping heard this, her pretty face turned red, she bowed meticulously to Jiang Weizhong, holding the cup in both hands, the waves flowed, and said solemnly: "Little sister Yinping, I wish the third brother a good health and all the best." ”

Guan Xing shouted again: "Congratulating with us, it's all 'Wuyun Fangchang', how did you get to Job, but it became such a painless greeting for your body?" There is no martial spirit! ”

Guan Yinping frowned and glanced at Jiang Wei, and said secretly: "The words 'Wuyun Fangchang' were taught by my mother when I was a child. Now that I'm an adult, I have my own thoughts...... I only hope that you will be a general, a civilian, and be in good health, peace and joy all your life. ”

If so, the Spring Festival will be spent in a peaceful atmosphere.

On the second day of the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei immediately ordered martial law, and Ziguicheng immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

At the same time, follow-up reinforcements from Shuzhong arrived one after another.

On the border of Jing and Yi Prefectures, the chariots are chariots, the horses are Xiaoxiao, the flags are fluttering, and the long knives are dazzling.

The situation is on the verge of eruption!
