With Hanzhong under his command, Liu Yong's strength has risen greatly, and he is not chasing and fighting the Zhang Lu brothers, but only sending people to control their whereabouts, and his current main energy is to stabilize Hanzhong and truly integrate it with Jingzhou. This will be a big springboard for him to play in the Central Plains, Xiliang and Xichuan.

Zhang Lu saw that Liu Yong's pursuit was not very tight, and Ma Mingjian's road had been defended by heavy troops, and he was absolutely unable to pass through the lack of soldiers and major generals, so he had to take hundreds of people to hide in the mountains with the Dingjun army, in order to change later. Zhang Wei took 100 people, went through hardships and dangers, went north along the boiled water, and then crossed the frustrated water, and went to the west to throw Wudu. Liu Yong saw that it was difficult to catch the two of them in the near future, so he had to put them aside and slowly try to figure them out in the future.

Set up Hanzhong County, appointed Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong, in charge of all military affairs, Sun Gan as the other driver, Yuan Jian as the main book, Yang Yi, Wang Can and several other people to assist, according to the appearance of Jingzhou, issued various decrees, encourage agriculture, workshops, commerce, everyone praised. After the people saw that the Jingzhou soldiers occupied, not only did they not bully the people at will, but made Hanzhong more prosperous, and soon they no longer fought against each other, anyway, no matter who ruled Hanzhong, as long as they could let them live a peaceful life, they would support whomever they wanted.

Liu Yong also ordered Zhao Yun to lead an army of 20,000 to Wuguan to assist Zang Ba and Yang Ren, so far, Hanzhong is fully controlled, and there is no peace. Things in Hanzhong were properly arranged, Huang Zhong handed over Yangping Pass to Wei Yan, and returned to Xiangyang with Zhang Nan and Feng Xi with Liu Yong. It's been out for too long, it's time for Liu Yong to go back and have a look.

Hearing that Liu Yong was coming back, the Xiangyang civil and military forces who got the news rushed out of the city early, hoping to behave in front of Liu Yong, at least show their faces. After taking Hanzhong, Jingzhou's strength has improved again, and the shrewd people are all secretly moving around and planning, so naturally Liu Yong can't be suspicious, no matter how hard he is, he will wait outside the city early in the morning to look forward to it.

The civil and military are like this, Liu Yong's wives and concubines will naturally not lag behind, and they look forward to Liu Yong's return more than anyone else. Needless to say, with Liu Yong's strength, the identities of his wives and concubines have become an extremely sensitive object of competition, so the backyard of the state pastor has become a battlefield without gunpowder.

Cao Yuan, the princess of Qinghe, dressed up in flowers, rode in an incense car, and came to wait early under the escort of her entourage. And Princess Wannian has always been at odds with Cao Yuan, so naturally she was not willing to lag behind and arrived at the same time, but the second daughter didn't want to say more, just pretended to say hello enthusiastically and got into the car separately, and didn't stop what they were doing.

Huang Yueqing's identity is not ordinary, and she doesn't need to compete for the limelight, the herald sent back the news that Liu Yong would arrive in the afternoon, and she slowly went out of the city to greet her at noon, Xiaolian and Ziyan naturally came with her.

"Sister, why are you here, my husband is almost there!" Cao Yuanfeng rolled her eyes, and immediately laughed, and disgusted Huang Yueqing for coming late. Princess Wannian didn't show too much enthusiasm, and came over to greet Huang Yueqing and the three daughters very usually.

"Look, I looked reluctant to greet my husband, so I might as well not come! Don't you say, sister? Cao Yuan did not forget to sow discord and "expose and expose" the mistakes of Princess Wannian.

Huang Yueqing smiled and didn't speak, so that Cao Yuan couldn't continue to accuse, and returned to her car with an unwilling face.

Just in the afternoon, an hour later, a fast horse came to report: "The main bus has arrived in Deng County!" ”

Deng County is only twenty miles away from Xiangyang, and everyone's hearts are beginning to be eager, as long as they can show their faces in front of the governor, Liu has a good impression, and they will not worry about not being promoted and making a fortune in the future.

Liu Yong heard the scout's report on the road, and the city's civil and military forces waited outside the city early to greet him, the scale was unprecedented, Liu Yong's face suddenly turned cold: "This kind of atmosphere can't be promoted, Kou Feng, pass on my military order, rest in Deng County tonight, and return to Xiangyang tomorrow!" ”

Kou Feng couldn't understand why the lord was suddenly unhappy, this Deng County was so close to Xianyang, why did he have to stay for one night? But the lord's affairs can't be asked, as long as the order is conveyed, Kou Feng promised to convey it immediately. A cadre of civil and military personnel outside Xiangyang City, as well as some people from big families in the city, heard that Liu Yong suddenly did not come back today, and immediately talked about it, sighing.

Lou Gui was suddenly stunned, remorseful again and again, and came to inform Huang Yueqing.

"You adults still have official business to do, so go back quickly, it's rare to get out of the city once, and the concubine wants to stay for a while!" Huang Yueqing said lightly, as calm and gentle as ever.

Huang Yueqing didn't go back, Xiaolian and Ziyan naturally had to wait for her, Lou Gui had to arrange for Chen Zhi to take someone to escort the wives, and he went back to the city first, Zhuge Jin and the others also seemed to have an understanding and went back separately.

Cao Yuan was hit by this news, and went back indignantly. Princess Wannian thought about it, she seemed to think of something, but she couldn't catch it, she was not a person who was too scheming, since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to, someone else greeted her, and went back, half an hour later, there were few people still here. But when Huang Yueqing looked around, she found that there was one person who had not left, and it was Tian Feng.

Huang Yueqing and Liu Yong have a deep relationship and have been together for a long time, and they have given Tian Feng a high evaluation in front of his wife. Thinking of this, Huang Yueqing turned around and walked towards Tian Feng, and without waiting for Tian Feng to salute, Huang Yueqing greeted first: "I didn't expect Mr. Yuan Hao to be here." It's windy at the moment, so let's go back early! ”

"Tian Feng pays a visit to his wife, the old man wants to see the lord earlier, and tomorrow, the lord is afraid that he will be very busy and have no time to meet!" Tian Feng smiled faintly.

Huang Yueqing was surprised in her heart: "Didn't the governor pass on the message that he would wait for one night, doesn't Mr. think this news is wrong?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Madam must have guessed the intentions of the lord, why bother to test the old age!" ”

Huang Yueqing also smiled. But she still has a question: "Presumably, the governor must not be able to hide this from Mr. Zibo and others, why did they all go back?" ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "Such a big move has already made the lord unhappy, where do they dare to wait here?" If they don't go, will others go? ”

"I see, the concubine has been taught, thank you Mr. for informing me! Sir, sure enough, time Daxian! Huang Yueqing praised Tian Feng.

An hour later, Liu Yong suddenly ordered to set off for Xiangyang, which made everyone a little puzzled, and even Huang Zhonghe, who often followed Liu Yong's side, couldn't understand it.

Huang Yueqing and Tian Feng had a very happy conversation, and two hours passed unconsciously. Suddenly, the dust rose in the distance, and a large group of people came over, and the guards immediately put on a posture to meet the enemy, and even Chen Zhi was ready to persuade the three ladies and Tian Feng to avoid.

"What is this for? Prepare to welcome the Governor back to the city! Huang Yueqing saw everyone's appearance and immediately ordered.

"Greeting the Governor? It's not that ......" Chen stopped halfway through his words, because he had already seen the big "Liu" character on the big flag, which was the flag used by Liu Yong's royal family, and it was unique.

Chen Zhi shouted to all his subordinates: "Array to meet the lord!" ”

Everyone was a little stunned, but no one spoke, and no one hesitated, all of them put away their weapons as quickly as possible, lined up energetically, set up a queue to greet them, and shouted in unison: "Welcome the lord back to the city!" ”
