Chapter 428: Five Tiger Generals
The people of Shu need their heroes too much, and this kind of worship of heroes will become the hope of Shu in the future, and it will also make it possible for him to succeed in the change he has been carefully planning.
"Mr. Tianji seems to be in high spirits today." Fa Zheng, who was sitting next to Liu He, said slowly while shaking the folding fan in his hand.
Liu He said with a smile: "Today, the lord is the king of Hanzhong, and it is the day when the five tiger generals are enshrined. ”
Fa Zheng suddenly approached and lowered his voice: "Does Mr. Tianji feel that there is something wrong with the lord's behavior?" ”
Liu He was taken aback when he heard this, pretending to be calm and looking at the fake Liu Bei on the main seat, and then looked at Fa Zheng suspiciously, but he was very nervous in his heart.
Fa Zheng smiled softly, "Don't you think the lord is a little too calm?" It is rare to be the king of Hanzhong, and he can still handle it so calmly, which shows that the lord is really the dragon and phoenix among people. ”
Liu He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the fake Liu Bei again, and sure enough, as Fa Zheng said, this kind of good day to get what he wanted, but he was still expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy at all.
Liu He thought for a while and said to Fa Zheng in a low voice: "Have you ever heard of the French military division that the lord and Cao Cao cooked wine with green plums and commented on the heroes of the world?" ”
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Mr. Tianji, this is a bit of a small look at Fa, of course I have heard that Cao Cao pretended to cook wine with the lord and talk about heroes, but in fact he wanted to see if the lord had any objections." The lord was in danger and deceived Cao Cao, and then he achieved a great cause. ”
Liu He nodded in agreement, "So I said, the lord's bland reaction today is also reasonable, what does the French military master think?" ”
Fa Zheng glanced at the fake Liu Bei meaningfully, but he didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Zhuge Liang came over and said softly: "The lord asked Mr. Tianji to come over, he should have something to explain." ”
Liu He hurriedly got up, hugged his fist at Fa Zheng, and then hurried away.
I thought that Zhuge Liang had seen something and was relieving himself, but he didn't want to be the fake Liu Bei who had something to find him.
The fake Liu Bei made a request to him, saying that he wanted to personally accept the title for the Five Tiger Generals.
Strictly speaking, what he made should be called a request, because the decision on this matter was not in the hands of him, the titular king of Hanzhong, but with Liu He and Zhuge Liang.
The two glanced at each other, and from Zhuge Liang's eyes, Liu He could see that Zhuge Liang should not agree with this matter.
It's no wonder that among the five tiger generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all listed, if it weren't for today's ceremony, Guan Yu stationed in Jingzhou and Zhang Fei stationed in Hanzhong would not have been recruited back to Chengdu at all.
Even so, Liu He and Zhuge Liang have always been cautious and try to avoid direct contact between the three of them, in order not to show flaws, but they never expected that at such a critical juncture, this fake Liu Bei suddenly made such an embarrassing request.
According to the etiquette, this kind of canonization ceremony should indeed be performed by Liu Bei himself, but it was only because of Zhuge Liang's operation that all parties had no objection to this, and agreed to let Liu He, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng issue handsome seals to the five people together.
Now if Liu Bei makes such a fuss, not only will the original process have to be changed, but I am afraid that there will be incidents in his life, and Zhuge Liang will naturally not agree to this kind of risky thing.
But looking at the fake Liu Bei's unusually determined expression, Liu He knew that if he couldn't follow his wishes today, maybe this fake Liu Bei, who was born a little stupid, would show his feet in front of everyone.
After thinking about it again and again, Liu He finally decided to take a risk and act according to the conditions proposed by the fake Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang strongly opposed it at first, and after listening to Liu He's concerns, he nodded helplessly.
It was originally a celebration for the whole city, but at this time, Liu He and Zhuge Liang felt a kind of torment.
The two of them stared closely at the fake Liu Bei's every move, fortunately, from beginning to end, nothing went wrong, and when Huang Zhong took over the last handsome seal of the Five Tiger Generals from Liu Bei's hand, Liu He and Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Zhuge Liang took the fake Liu Bei to rehearse the ceremony countless times, and the moment the fake Liu Bei took the seal of the king of Hanzhong, Liu He, who saw all this in his eyes not far away, frowned slightly.
He seemed to see a trace of unprecedented excitement flashing in the eyes of the fake Liu Bei, but when Liu He looked closely, he found that the fake Liu Bei didn't seem to be anything unusual, and he always looked light.
Fortunately, there were no dangers in the process, and finally the celebration ended successfully, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't even have time to stay in Chengdu for a day, and rushed back to Jingzhou and Hanzhong non-stop.
Of course, these are Zhuge Liang's arrangements, in addition to letting them have as little contact as possible with that fake Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang also has other considerations. Without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the garrisons of Jingzhou and Hanzhong were really not reassuring, so the two of them hurried back to their original station, so that the two of them could be safe and secure in the north and east of Chengdu.
The other two generals, who are also the generals of the Five Tigers, have also been assigned responsibilities respectively.
Ma Chao was sent to the northwest to defend against the Qiang, while Huang Zhong moved south to guard the southern part of Yizhou, where ethnic minorities lived.
A general was sent to each of the four directions in the southeast, northwest, and north to guard the town, and of course, one person should be left behind to sit in Chengdu in case of any unexpected situation in Yizhou.
This heavy responsibility naturally fell on Zhao Yun's body, in addition, Zhuge Liang also has some of his own ideas, since Zhao Yun left the Han Jiajun and officially appeared in Liu Beijun as a general, he has always followed Zhuge Liang's left and right, among the five tiger generals, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun have the deepest feelings, so keeping Zhao Yun by his side is also a matter of cleaning up.
After arranging all this, Yizhou's defense can be described as solid, Zhuge Liang's next energy was transferred to internal affairs, while Liu He was silent for a while, and he hiberned in Tianji Mansion every day and closed his door.
After a long time, a rumor began to appear in Chengdu, and the people said that Mr. Tianji was practicing a great skill behind closed doors, and the day of success was the time to go north.
This day is a small set in the city of Chengdu, merchants from the south to the north will come to Chengdu at this time, and at the same time, goods from all over the world will be transported to Chengdu.
At first, Xu Zhi, who was in charge of public security in Chengdu, did not allow the people to set up stalls here to sell, saying that it was too close to Mr. Tianji's mansion.
