Adou ascended the throne in the fourth volume and the forty-eighth chapter of the crown prince

Dou didn't know. His own Cao Jun's equipment made Ma Qiu misunderstand, and Adou was still reminiscing about Ma Qiu's knife skills in his heart. At the same time, I was wondering who this young man was.

Yangpingguan.

Ma Chao was just about to go down from the city gate. I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the gate. Ma Chao waited again to go up to the city tower. I saw a few followers from afar.

Ma Chaoyi frowned. Didn't these family members go out with Ma Qiu? How did you come back so soon! Could it be that Ma Qiu's kid is causing trouble again?

Come to think of it. Ma Chao suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight. This Ma Qiu has caused a lot of trouble for Ma Chao on weekdays. And this is near Yangping Pass. Ma Chao, no one can cure Ma Qiu. Therefore, Ma Qiu often beats others with blue nose and swollen eyes. Every time Ma Chao has to pay for medical expenses.

These family members came to the city. I saw Ma Chao on the city tower. Immediately shouted: "General." Big things are wrong! ”

"Is that little rabbit in trouble again?" Ma Chao shouted loudly.

"Back to General. It's the army! Cao Jun is here! ”

"What? Is Cao Jun here? Ma Chao was taken aback. Yangping Pass is in the Qinling Mountains. And it has penetrated several miles into the belly of the ridge. If this Cao Jun gets here. I should have gone there a long time ago.

"Can you find out how many people are coming from Cao Jun?"

"About a few hundred people. Full cavalry? ”

"Hundreds? Or cavalry? Ma Chao was stunned. Could it be that this Cao wants to use cavalry to surprise attack Yangping Pass? But only a few hundred people. It's too much to underestimate him!

"Where's Qiu'er?" Ma then asked.

"The major general said that he was going to stop the enemy. Let me come back first to report back to the general! ”

"Nonsense!" Ma Chao heard that Ma Qiu was going to stop the enemy. I was scared and sweated on my head. Then immediately said to Ma and Wang Ping behind him: "Horse." Immediately gather your troops. Follow me out of the country. Wang ping. You stay at Yangping Pass. ”

"The last general obeys!"

……

Ma Chao ordered all the people and horses to go out of Yangping Pass. Head straight north. It didn't take long to go. From a distance, I saw a few horses rushing in the distance, and it was Ma Qiu who was the leader.

Seeing that Ma Qiu was safe and sound. Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief. And Ma Qiuyuan saw Ma Chao leading the army to come. Immediately step forward. Before he could stand firmly, he said, "Father." There is Cao Jun! ”

Ma Chao looked at Ma Qiu. There was no blood on his body. It doesn't seem like there's been a fight. Then Ma Chao noticed the Hun war horse under Ma Qiu's crotch.

"This is the Hun horse. Where are you from? Ma Chao asked.

"Father. It was given by someone. ”

"Nonsense! This war horse is one in a thousand Hun war horses. It's worth at least a few hundred gold, who would give you such a valuable war horse! Ma Chao said angrily.

"Father was sent by the leader of the Cao army."

"He gave you a war horse?" There was a hint of disbelief in Ma Chao's tone. I saw Ma Chao raise his horsewhip. said: "If you lie again, Lao Tzu will beat you!" ”

"Father. It's true! I kid you not! You and I say. Here's how it happened......" Ma Qiu told Ma Chao what happened.

……

"In the end, I survived two moves under him. He gave me this warhorse! ”

"Smack!" Ma Chao slapped Ma Qiu's head. Angry voice: "Useless things! was put in the hands of others and was captured by the family. I'm embarrassed to say! Do you still have the face to ask for someone's war horse? You're not ashamed! If it were me. I've already found a crack to turn it in! You're good. I'm embarrassed to say it here. ”

Ma Chao has always been arrogant. Ma Chao has been fighting Zhang Fei in his life. Never defeated, in Chao's opinion, Ma is a very shameful thing today.

"Brother. How about you not be angry with Ma Qiu's martial arts. You and I know that. And the other party was able to easily defeat Ma Qiu. I'm afraid this person's martial arts are not below you, brother. Ma Qiu can't be blamed for his defeat. It's just that when did this Cao Jun come out with such a powerful character? Brother. This person will never stay. "Horse" said from the side.

"Not bad. This man can't stay! Ma Chao said. A finger at Ma Qiu. He said, "Son." Lead the way in front of my head! ”

……

Adou walked along the road without hurry. Speaking of which, this Shu Road is indeed very difficult to walk. Adou can't get up fast even if he wants to.

No wonder Zhuge Liang will have a shortage of grain and grass when he is in the north. That's it. Grain is certainly not easy to transport.

Think about the time to come. The grain in China is mainly transported out of Shu by Cao. Although the cost of transportation is huge. But it's much more convenient than walking.

At this time. Adou couldn't help but start to miss Jingzhou. If it is Jingzhou hand. Cao Cao could be attacked from Jingzhou. And Shuzhong grain can be transported to Jingzhou through the Yangtze River. Come to think of it. Adou somewhat understood why Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling to capture Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qi for the last time, relying on wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass. And Wuzhang Yuan was in a confrontation with Sima. I used to be in Tuntian to solve the food problem. I think of the wooden cow and the flowing horse. Adou took out the "Lu Gong Secret Record" from his arms. Look through it.

"Childe. Look ahead! ”

The cow's fierce voice came. Dou hurriedly looked up. From afar, I saw a team of people coming. He is the first general. Mounted with guns. Lion Helmet Belt. Silver armor white. The gauge is extraordinary. Behind the general is a big flag. There is a big word "horse" written on it.

Adou looked at the general in front of him. I still know it. It's Ma Chao!

By Ma Chao's side. There was a general standing. With a large knife in hand. It's a horse. And on the other side of Ma Chao. is a young man in casual clothes. It's Ma Qiu, who just fought with Adou.

Just now, Adou met Ma Qiu alone. Didn't recognize it. Now this Ma Qiu and Ma Chao are standing together. Adou took a look. The two really resemble each other. Adou immediately guessed. The young man is probably Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu.

"Father. That's him! Ma Qiu pointed at Adou. Speak.

"Hmph. You're here watching. I'll meet him! "Ma Chao finished speaking. Horse forward. Come to the front of the two armies. Then he yelled at Adou: "Will be named." Xiliang Ma Chao's subordinates don't kill the nameless! ”

"General Ma. In the past, Jia Meng was goodbye. General Ma is still the same! Adou said with a smile.

"Moe Guan?" Ma Chao was stunned. He has been stationed in Hanzhong for several years. It's been a few days since I went to Moe Pass. And Cao Jun has never been able to pass the Meng level. How could this person have met with him before?

Suddenly, Ma Chao's mind flashed. I remembered what Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong said. Childe Liu Chan was going back, and then Ma asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, but Liu Chan's son?" ”

"Hahaha. General Ma recognized me," Adou laughed.

It's Childe! Ma Chao snorted softly. I pondered in my heart at the same time. Could it be that this Zhuge Liang can really be pinched?

Ma Qiu in the back also understood what was going on at this time. Unexpectedly, the boy who just fought with himself turned out to be the young master Liu Chan! Thinking about it, Ma Qiudu felt a little empty-hearted. Liu Chan is more powerful than himself. If you are caught off guard and kill Liu Chan. Then the sin is great.

But even so. Chao will definitely punish himself if he goes back. looked at Ma Chao in front. Ma Qiu only felt a chill on his back. Cold sweat broke out from Ma Qiu's head.

Ma Qiu secretly glanced at the horse next to him. Then he whispered: "Uncle, this time I'm done, and when I come back to close the father, I won't kill me!" You can intercede for me in a moment! ”

Ma' gave Ma Qiu a blank look. Voice: "From small to large." Am I helping you with less affection? ”

"Who made you my uncle? Then if you don't help me, who will help me......"

"I'll tell you, you have to be careful. These days, brother has been looking for an opportunity to teach you a lesson. Now is such a great opportunity. Brother—I'll see you're going to lie in bed for a few days. ”

Hear the horse talk. Ma Qiu's face turned purple in an instant. At the same time, he pleaded: "Uncle." You can save me. ”

to Ma Qiu's pitiful appearance. Ma sighed helplessly. Then he said, "Okay, okay." I'll give you an idea! ”

The horse looked down and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head and said, "I thought of a trick for you." Now that Childe is back, he will definitely return to Chengdu. You took the initiative to ask to protect your son and return to Chengdu. Let's go hide for a while in front of Childe. Brother will certainly not be embarrassed by you. Wait a long time, my brother misses you. You come back. When the time comes, my brother won't be able to remember to punish you again. ”

"Great idea! Uncle. You're amazing. I can think of such a good idea! I'll do as you say. I'll go and talk to Childe in a moment! ”

……

Adou people are still resting in Hanzhong. But the news of Adou's return has reached Chengdu.

With the news arriving in Chengdu. One thing is on the agenda. That is the problem of the crown prince of Hanzhong.

On the question of the crown prince. Liu Bei and Cao Cao's choices were similar. Cao Cao's side. Since the death of Cao Ang. Cao Cao didn't ask the heir of Ming. Until recent years. Cao Cao made his choice. Cao was confirmed as the heir, and Liu Bei had far fewer sons, although Cao Cao. But for the question of the crown prince. Liu Bei still hasn't made a decision for a long time. Or maybe Liu Bei didn't want to make such an early decision.

Now. Liu Bei lost Jingzhou. However, Liu Bei's current strength is the largest among the three princes. Although there is no shortage of food in Shu to feed the soldiers. But for a short time. Liu Bei will inevitably expand outward. It can be seen that there will soon be a big war. At this time, it is particularly important to choose an heir to determine the interior.

As in history. Such as Liu Bei has four. The righteous son Liu Feng was not born to Liu Bei. can be excluded from the competition for the prince; The eldest son, Liu Chan. That is, Adou. The second son, Liu Yong. It was born to Sun Shangxiang. He is three years younger than Adou. The third son, Liu Li. It was born to Wu Guiren. This Wu Guiren is Wu Yi's sister. He is a noble person in Xinnai after Liu Bei entered Shu.

All. Above the court.

Liu Bei's military attachés and military attachés have all gathered together, and now under the rule of the king of Hanzhong, there are many talents. It's not worse than Xu Du's court. And in the quality of this officer. Liu Bei's side even had some advantages. After all, among these generals, Guan Zhang is one of the best generals in the world. And the sleeping dragons and phoenixes in Wenchen are also comparable to Guan Zhong Leyi.

Liu Bei looked at the people under the tent. He said, "Everyone. Since he was named the king of Hanzhong. The position of the crown prince has been vacant. Although the matter of establishing a reserve is a lonely family matter. But it is also a matter of national importance. It is related to the death and survival of a country. Now I want to talk to you. I hope you will have your share of the word. ”

Liu Bei was the self-reliant king of Hanzhong. However, no matter how thick-skinned Liu Bei is, he can't say that he is the king of Hanzhong. So when I said it, I still said that I was the king of Hanzhong who was dedicated to the emperor.

Heard Liu Bei ask about this matter. Look at me, everyone. I'll look at you. There are no words. At this time. Everyone understands that it's better not to speak first. Although Liu Bei said that he wanted everyone to speak freely. But who dares to really speak freely!

Liu Bei waited for a long time and didn't see anyone speak. I had to start the roll call.

"What do you think, two military advisors?" Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong first.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both extremely smart people. I've already thought of the rhetoric. I saw Zhuge Liang stand up. He said, "The University should be careful to follow what is established. I thought. The prince must not only have both ability and political integrity. It is necessary to be able to convince the public! ”

Zhuge Liang finished speaking. Retreated. Everyone nodded, and what Zhuge Liang said was very reasonable.

Only Pang Tong and Bai Zhuge glanced at this Zhu Liang and said for a long time. It's all nonsense. Who doesn't know that this prince must have both ability and political integrity.

Seeing Zhuge Liang playing very much, he began to go around in a vague circle. Pang Tong can't be idle. I saw Pang Tong stand up and say, "What Kong Ming said is very reasonable. This matter of the prince is indeed a matter of great importance. Zetang's ......"

I saw Pang Tong babbling a lot of truths. The crowd nodded their heads frequently. But he didn't say who it would be better to set up.

Liu Bei looked at this posture. knew that these two military advisors were going to cheat and cheat. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both iron-toothed and copper-toothed. Zhuge Liang can scold Wang Lang to death with one mouth. Therefore, if Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are iron-hearted, their heads will slip up, and they will be the resurrection of Su Qin and the reincarnation of Zhang Yi. Couldn't get anything out of the mouths of the two of them.

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Zhang Song next to him. He asked, "Yongnian." What do you think? ”

Zhang Song is now second only to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong among the civil officials under Liu Bei's command. And speaking of forces. Zhang Song also faintly overpowered Zhuge Liang and Pang. The reason is that Zhang Song represents the officials in Shuzhong.

Zhang Song is a native of Shu County, Central Sichuan. Among the officials from Kawanaka. Zhang Song has the highest official position. In addition, Zhang Song is deeply trusted by Liu Bei. Officials in central Sichuan have always looked to Zhang Songma as the leader. So now Liu Bei asked Zhang Song. It is also a disguised question of the meaning of Sichuan officials.

Zhang Song saw Liu Bei and asked himself. Carved stood up. Zhang Song also knew that there was a mixture of Sichuan officials. For this matter. Everyone's opinions are not in agreement. Originally, there were more people who supported Liu Liuli. There are almost no supporters of Adou. After all, Liu Yong and Liu Like both have backstage support.

Behind Liu Yong is Jiangdong. Strategically. Li Liu Yong can be a friendship between Sun and Liu. The Sun-Liu alliance is more stable. This is in line with the Lianwu anti-Cao

Policy. But it's a pity that Sun Quan attacked Jing'. The Sun-Liu alliance broke down. Even with Liu Yong, he didn't get much to see. Today's Liu Bei hates Jiangdong very much. Now I'm afraid no one dares to come out to hold Liu Yong.

And Liu Li's uncle is Wu Yi, the general of Shuzhong. Liu Li's mother, Wu, was also from Shuzhong. It's obvious. This Liu Li is half a person from Sichuan. Supporting Liu Li is in the interests of these central Sichuan officials. And if Liu Bei makes Liu Li the crown prince. It can also be the heart of the officials in Luochuan by the way.

However, this plan has not kept up with the changes. Adou's performance in the past few months has been too conspicuous. The officials in Kawanaka are not fools. Most of the officials in central Sichuan had been officials under Liu Zhang. Naturally, I understand this troubled world. How important it is to have a good master. Besides, this matter of seizing the heir is like an investment. Got it right. It is very possible to seal the wife and the son and the marquis; Wrong vote. It's hard to turn over. Now it seems. Liu Chan's meeting is indeed much bigger than that Liu Li, whose teeth have not yet grown. These officials in Kawanaka are very shrewd. A large part of the population turned to Adou.

I saw Zhang Song bowing to Liu Beiwei. Instead, he said: "Liu Changongzi is both civil and military. and a great resume; And Liu Li's son is young. But also very smart. The minister thought that the lord could choose one of these two sons as the prince. ”

Zhang Song naturally kicked Liu Yong out. And Liu Bei also understood. This Zhang Song's words were vague to tell himself the attitude of the current Sichuan officials. And Zhang Song himself is also very wise to protect himself. There is no clear indication of who holds it.

Liu Bei nodded. looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. At the same time, he asked, "Second brother." What do you think? ”

didn't wait for Guan Yu to speak. Fly hey hey a smirk. opened his mouth and said, "I listen to my eldest brother!" ”

Liu Bei was also amused by the fly. Look at this good brother who has been born and died with him for decades. Liu Bei smiled: "Third brother." Of course you listen to me. But I'm asking you for your opinion now! ”

"In that case.|I'll listen to the second brother's brother say whoever is who!" Zhang Fei replied immediately.

When the officials in the hall saw Zhang Fei's virtue, they all smiled secretly. This third master is notoriously reckless. Ask this third master. It's not the same as white, only Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other. Then they shook their heads at each other.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are seeming. Zhang Fei is not a reckless person. Opposite. Zhang Fei handled this matter very smartly. Zhang Fei deliberately pretended to be stupid. So he kicked the ball to Guan Yu. Because Zhang Fei couldn't guess what he was thinking about in this big heart, and who he liked more. Zhang Fei didn't want to trouble Liu because of his opinions, so Zhang Fei simply used this method to send Liu Bei away.

"Second brother. What do you think? "Sure enough. In the end, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu.

This court speaks the heaviest of all.' Except for Liu Bei. It's Guan Yu. For example, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not express their position, Zhang Song proposed two people for Liu Bei to choose. Zhang Fei said to listen to Guan Yu again. This Guan Yu is one vote and two votes. At this time, everyone was focused on Guan Yu.

Guan Yu stood up with a big stride. Danfeng's eyes narrowed. A long beard stroked. He said, "Big brother." Since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly! Naturally, he is going to be the crown prince! ”

"The consciousness of the second brother is to establish a father?" Liu-Kai asked.

The heir is Adou's cousin. Now it is a matter of deliberation in the court. On such a formal occasion, Liu Bei naturally couldn't take a bite of the name "Adou", so Liu Bei called Adou the word.

Guan Yu nodded. said categorically: "Yes, the heir is the eldest son. This is the crown prince. Of course, the firstborn son should come first! ”

For Guan Yu, he expressed his attitude and support Adou. No one is surprised. After all, this Guan Yu's life was saved by Adou from Jingzhou. Guan Yu's most important thing is righteousness. Kindness must be repaid is Guan Yu's principle of doing things. Adou is kind to Guan Yu. Guan Yu naturally wanted to repay the favor. Try Cao Cao's favor, Guan Yu is all admitted. Not to mention Adou's junior.

"Big brother. The heir can be civil and martial. And proficient in the art of war. At a young age, he was able to defeat Zhou Tai, behead Zhu Ran, and break Lu Meng. Later, he broke into Cao's camp single-handedly. It can be described as both wisdom and bravery. ”

Guan Yu paused when he said this. Then he continued: "Big brother can remember the three of us fighting that Lu Fengxian before the Tiger Prison Pass? ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Of course my brother remembers." ”

This tiger prison is three British war Lu. It is one of the few victories in Liu Bei's life. Liu Bei naturally knew very well. The young Liu Bei is also excellent in martial arts. A pair of double-strand swords can also be regarded as Qimen weapons. It can be described as superb.

"Big brother. In my opinion. Now Gong's martial arts are probably not under Dang-Lu Bu! Guan Yu continued.

"What'" Liu Bei looked at Yu incredulously.

Liu Bei had seen Lu's martial arts. And he also fought with Lu Bu. For Lu Bu's awesomeness. Liu Bei has a deep understanding.

Guan Yu is a person who never lies. And Guan Yu's personality is arrogant. To say that others are deliberately inferior. For example, if you encounter the enemy's elite soldiers and horses. Guan Yu will say that the enemy is not Erer; If you encounter an enemy's general soldiers and horses. Guan Yu will say that the other party is a soil dog grass mustard. Especially when talking about military generals. Guan Yu pouted most of the time. Then a look of disdain.

Guan Yu's character. Liu Bei knows very well. A very powerful person. When it came to Guan Yu's mouth, his skills were mediocre. became "so-and-so child". This is a person who can be praised by Yu in the world. I'm afraid I can count them on one hand. I didn't expect my son, who was only ten years old. Guan Yu's magic eye that can be entered! However, Guan Yu said that Adou is not weaker than Lu Bu.|I'm afraid Adou's martial arts are still above Lu Bu!

But Liu Bei also knew. Fighting for the world is not something that can be achieved by the force of a brave man. Nalu is a good example. But in the era of cold weapons. Force is always one of the most effective ways to deter the enemy and one's own people.

Liu Bei also knew. The composition of the officials under his own command is complex. There are many factions. And each of them is outstanding. This is a capable person. The heart is relatively high. If you choose your own heir, you are not iron-fisted enough. He definitely can't suppress these courtiers under his command. For the monarch. The town is not a subordinate courtier. It's going to be messy. But take a look now. Even people like Guan Yu. Adou was able to hold it down. And then the rest of those dogs and cats and the like. It should be no problem.

At this time. Liu Bei made up his mind at the end of his mind.

The state of the gluttonous worm finally came back a little. Let's try to have a small outbreak tomorrow.
