Chapter 553: The Covenant of the Monarch and the Ministers Thoughts are like rain
Just when the three of them were about to leave, Liu Yong left Pang Tong alone: "Send someone to secretly tell Yan Xing that after pacifying Xiliang, what position he can get depends on his performance!" ”
Pang Tong glanced at Liu Yong, leaned over to receive the order without speaking, but his heart was shocked, this young king had begun to become ruthless and abnormal, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, as if he had lost something important.
The winter sun is warm, comfortable and comfortable, Liu Yong is accompanied by Wu Amaranth and Sun Shangxiang, and he didn't feel any boredom in his leisure and hurried over for half a month, Pang Tong came to report that the road in Xiangyang has been completely dredged and can set off.
Liu Yong suddenly, no wonder Liu Bei was fascinated by Sun Shangxiang in Jiangdong in history, this gentle township can really consume people's will, he is only in his twenties and can't keep his mind, then Liu Bei was over fifty years old, and he was able to escape in the end, and he was really not an ordinary person.
Xiangyang, it's time to go back!
Tian Feng sat in Xuchang and controlled all government affairs, and Guan Yu was in charge of the troops to defend against Cao Cao. This can be regarded as Liu Yong's first step towards the separation of military and government.
Although Tian Feng resigned and asked to return to Xiangyang with Liu Yong, Liu Yong refused on the grounds that the road was difficult and dangerous, Tian Feng was old, and it was not suitable to travel far. As for Guan Yu, he didn't say much, and his red face was always so empty-eyed.
"There are gains and losses, Yun Chang only avenges Xuande, and the day Cao Cao returns to heaven is the time when Yun Chang resigns! Sooner or later, why don't you start now! In the face of Pang Tong's advice, Liu Yong said.
"It's just that in this way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty must be in turmoil, thinking that there will be a cunning rabbit death, and the lackeys will cook, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil!" Pang Tong persuaded again.
Liu Yong shook his head: "It's okay, if you want to come, you will come, and if you want to go, you will eventually go, and the cultivation of Lone is to clean up and down, deter some people with ulterior motives, and let truly loyal and talented people display their talents!" ”
Pang Tong suddenly realized that this king had been thinking about such a big thing for a long time, and since this was the case, it showed that he had already thought it through, so he stopped persuading and retreated silently.
Outside the south gate of Xuchang, the winter sun is brilliant, the snow is white, and countless people are standing in the snow, today, the king of Chu is leaving.
At the gate of the city, two people stood opposite each other, one domineering and majestic, and the other was fierce.
"Yun Chang, take care! Xuchang's defense will be handed over to you! Liu Yong picked up a glass of wine and personally delivered it to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu respectfully caught it: "Don't worry, the king, if Guan Yu is here, Xuchang will not be lost!" ”
The two drank opposite each other, looked at each other without saying a word, and seemed to say a thousand words.
"Good! Back then, he promised Yun Chang's words, Yong will never break his word, Yun Chang can say anything about it! ”
"You have faith, Yu is not bullied!" Guan Yu respectfully worshipped!
A simple single sentence, clenching fists, turning around, and separating, everyone else looks strange, perhaps only they know best in their hearts.
"Zhou Cang, on a certain day, you will be the general of the north!" When Liu Yong's car drove away, Guan Yu suddenly said to Zhou Cang next to him.
"Ahh What does this mean? Zhou Cang hurriedly asked, but Guan Yu had already stepped on the red rabbit horse and walked away.
The army is mighty, when entering the boundary of Jingzhou, as soon as it crosses the Bowang mountains, the temperature rises sharply, a trace of the breath of the south spreads, the snow has left some scattered backlit places and remains, and the evergreen trees in many places are lush and green, exuding a comfortable green.
Jingzhou, I, Liu Yong, are back again!
Liu Yong shouted in his heart.
Ten miles outside Xinye City, countless civil and military officials and soldiers have already gathered, this is Liu Yong's Longxing place, and those who can stay here are naturally extremely loyal people.
"Congratulations to the king!" After Liu Yong's car stopped, everyone immediately bowed respectfully to pay respect.
Liu Yong walked out of the carriage and looked at many familiar faces in front of him, and countless pictures buried in his memory came to his heart.
"Gao Zhuo, I didn't expect you to be the commander of Xinye County, and you can be regarded as an important minister, don't slack off!" The former and current restaurant shopkeeper has now become a big member.
"Guan Ning greets the king!" Another scribe stepped forward.
"Guan Ning?" Liu Yong looked at it, this is not Guan Ping's brother, but he didn't expect him to become a leader and do Gao Zhuo's work.
"Do you remember me, my lord?" A loud voice suddenly shouted, and Gao Zhuo and Guan Ning couldn't help frowning.
Liu Yong looked over and saw a man with a wide mouth and eyes, a long face, and three strands of long hair, the most conspicuous thing was the pair of eagle eyes, an extremely familiar feeling.
"I ...... I'm Ge Dazhuang! ”
"It turned out to be you, Lone Ke still remembers what happened at the beginning." Liu Yong looked at Ge Dazhuang with a smile on his face.
When Ge Dazhuang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof": "King, it was all instigated by others at the beginning, besides, at that time, there was water in the head, and I didn't know Mount Tai with eyes, and I hope that the king will forgive my sins!" ”
Ge Dazhuang wanted to ask for a friendship, but he didn't expect to almost die, and his intestines were blue with regret.
At this time, Guan Ning said: "King, after this Ge Dazhuang was sent by you to Zhuang to recuperate from his injuries, he reformed himself and joined the army, and he was also extremely loyal. ”
Liu Yong didn't expect that he didn't kill at the beginning, and there was such a result, so he said: "The previous things can not be investigated, but as long as someone finds out that you are not doing things well, they will definitely not spare you!" ”
Ge Dazhuang kowtowed like pounding garlic, and hurriedly responded. Liu Yong smiled and pedaled into the city.
Stayed for three days, finally set off again, two days later, Xiangyang City was in sight, the ten-mile long pavilion appeared again a larger scale of people, Zhuge Jin, Chen Qun, Liu Ye, Ma Liang, Liao Hua, Su Fei, Sima Zhi, Wang Xiang and other civil and military ministers were all present, the most conspicuous is a group of beautifully dressed women, the first one is his wife Huang Yueqing.
"Greetings to the King!" Officials, soldiers, and ordinary people shouted in unison, and the momentum was magnificent, and at this time, Liu Yong felt the most clear glory of the emperor, and his chest was full of pride.
But he searched in the crowd several times and didn't see a figure that should have appeared anyway-Lou Gui, Liu Yong's excitement and feelings were instantly washed away.
"Where's Mr. Zibo?" Liu Yong asked, and everyone instantly froze as if they were frozen.
"My lord, can I go back to the city and report this to you?" Zhuge Jin said a little timidly.
"Good! Return! Liu Yong looked at Zhuge Jin quietly for a long time, spit out three words in a cold voice, and turned around to pedal.
Everyone was a little stunned, but they had expected it, but they didn't expect Liu Yong's reaction to be so strong, and even his wives were snubbed.
Although the enthusiastic cheers of the people along the way outside the car continued, Liu Yong's heart was cold, and Lou Gui did have an accident.
Liu Yong was sad in his heart, and at the same time extremely angry, he was not angry about the secrecy of this matter, but the collective deception of everyone from top to bottom, as a monarch, no one would be indifferent.
When he approached Lou Gui's old mansion, all the servants in the mansion were already waiting there, and a letter had been written a year earlier and handed him a letter.
"The lord is above, Lou Gui will see you! Gui has read countless people in his life, and the only one who has seen the majestic and strategic, who has served in this life, and is fortunate in three lives! However, the great cause of the lord has not been accomplished, Gui has been old, every rainy day is cold and difficult, especially in recent days, I am afraid that the days are not much, leave a letter here, and wait for the day when the lord returns to Xiangyang.
Today's downward trend depends on people's hearts, those who win people's hearts gain power, and those who lose people's hearts lose power......"
After reading a long letter, Liu Yong had already burst into tears, and a kind teacher and a loyal courtier left like this.
In the letter, Lou Gui not only analyzed the current situation in the world, but also analyzed the civil and military forces under Liu Yong, and gave suggestions, as well as some strategies for governing the world, which can be said to show all his talents in writing a letter.
There is a lonely grave outside the city, which is the place where Lou Gui chooses to bury his bones, but only Liu Yong knows that this is just a well-dressed mound, a real grave, in the valley where he raised horses, he doesn't want to be disturbed again after he dies.
After meditating all day, Liu Yong finally got up from the ordinary tomb.
"Mr. Overhaul's Mausoleum, Hou Dehou!" On the second day, on the Jingzhou Palace, the first decree of the King of Chu was issued!
