Chapter 317: Aftermath

Jian Yong wanted to get Liu Bei's body back from the Han army for burial, but Liu Xie refused Jian Yong's request, and the reason given made Jian Yong unable to refuse.

The ancients paid attention to the soul returning to their hometown, entering the earth for peace, and dying outside was a very unlucky thing. Liu Xie was ready to order someone to send Liu Bei back to his hometown Zhuo County for burial, and for the sake of Liu Bei's love and Guan Zhang's affection, he intended to send Guan Yu's bones to Zhuo County for burial with Liu Bei.

Jian Yong couldn't refuse Liu Xie's decision. Without Liu Xie's permission, it would be impossible for Jian Yong to send Liu Bei back to Zhuojun for burial, so he could only be buried on the spot. But even if the cemetery chosen here is good in feng shui, it is not as tempting as being able to be buried in his hometown Zhuojun.

This time, Jian Yong entered the Han camp to retrieve Liu Bei's body for burial, but now that Liu Xie has a better arrangement, Jian Yong will no longer mention this matter, and will start to negotiate with Liu about another matter, about how the imperial court is going to settle Liu Bei's old department.

Liu Bei has no regrets when he leaves, and Jian Yong, who is responsible for Liu Bei's aftermath, will have to work harder. Fortunately, Liu Xie did not intend to embarrass loyal people like Huo Jun and Fu Tong who followed Liu Bei wholeheartedly, and basically met Jian Yong's requirements. Huo Jun and Fu Tong can continue to join the army, but they will no longer have the opportunity to lead an army alone, after all, the military system implemented by the Han Dynasty today is different from the past, the general only has the right to lead the troops but not the right to train, and only when there is a war, the general can lead the troops to go to battle, as for peacetime, training is a matter of the generals and schools of each army, and the general has no right to interfere. The advantage of this is that the general will not have the opportunity to support the army and respect himself, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, the trained soldiers and horses can no longer have the characteristic of distinctive personality.

A soldier is a bear, a nest of bears, what kind of character the general has, what kind of character the soldiers will have. But not now, there will be one bear, and the soldier bear will be a nest of bears. Of course, Liu Xie will not let the general take a nest of "bear soldiers" to the battlefield.

Huo Jun and Fu Tong have personal abilities, but it is not easy to stand out among the generals of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie's command is full of talents, the older generation of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, etc. are still in the age of fighting, Lu Xun, Hao Zhao, Guo Huai, Guan Ping, etc. of the Mesozoic Era have begun to emerge, and there is a new generation of Cao Zhang, Zhang Hu, Deng Ai, etc. are also catching up behind, Huo Jun and Fu Tong want to stand out in this kind of strong environment, it is not easy.

Jian Yong also knew that it was impossible for Liu Xie to accept his demands in full, bargaining was inevitable, and agreeing to let Huo Jun and Fu Tong continue to retain their positions as generals had already achieved their goals, as for whether Jackie Chan would become a worm in the future, it would depend on whether Huo Jun and Fu Tong worked hard, and Jian Yong couldn't help much.

"Please also ask the Holy Grace to be gracious." When talking about how the imperial court planned to place Liu Bei's son Liu Chan, Jian Yong suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Liu Xie.

Liu Xie frowned and looked at Jian Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked curiously: "Jian Xianhe, has your knowledge surpassed that of Kong Rong and Song Zhong?" Or, what kind of person do you plan to train Liu Chan to be? ”

"Huh?" Jian Yong was stunned, when he heard that Liu Xie intended to bring Liu Chan back to Chang'an, he thought that Liu Xie was preparing to keep Liu Chan in captivity, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to mention Kong Rong and Song Zhong, who were famous in the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know what the Holy One means by that?" Jian Yong asked cautiously.

"I have promised Liu Xuande before that I will not harm his family, and I will leave this little incense for his Liu family, I am the Son of Heaven, Jinkou Yuyan, naturally I will not regret it, you have the heart of a villain."

“…… Please also ask the Holy God to forgive your sins. ”

"It doesn't matter, you will oppose it out of love for Liu Chan, worried that he will be assassinated, and I will not bother with you. Liu Chan is not very old now, it is the age to go to school, I intend to send him to Taixue to learn some skills, even if it is difficult to stand in the court in the future, he will not kill himself because of a moment of confusion. Liu Xie waved his hand and said.

"Jian Yongdai Xuande thanked the saint." Jian Yong heard this and paid a big salute to Liu Xie.

Jian Yong is a person who understands current affairs, and the most important point is that he understands that he will follow the trend and reunite today, and he dare not say that the peace of a hundred years can be expected. And in these 100 years of peace, no matter who raises the anti-flag, the end will be very miserable.

Liu Xie wanted to take Liu Chan to Chang'an, not so much for surveillance as for protection. Although Liu Chan is not very old, he is the son of a thief after all, if there is no protection from Liu Xie, some people will use Liu Chan's identity to make a fuss. Jian Yong alone cannot cover all the open guns and arrows for Liu Chan, and only Liu Xie can personally come forward to ensure Liu Chan's safety. And Jian Yong himself, as long as he ensures that Liu Chan is not taken seriously in the future, and gives birth to thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Jian Yong had no intention of going to court, he refused Liu Xie's arrangement for him, and only wanted to stay by Liu Chan's side, which can be regarded as the full meaning of his friendship with Liu Bei over the years. Liu Xie was full of appreciation for this, and rewarded Jian Yong with a large sum of gold and silver, Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is impossible to live in Chang'an without sufficient money.

The negotiation process was pleasant, and the results were satisfactory. But just when Jian Yong was about to say goodbye and return to Guiyang to urge Huo Jun and Fu Tong to open the city and surrender, there was a commotion outside the Han military camp.

Shamoko is dead! Long before Liu Bei launched a decisive charge against the Han army, Shamoke saw an opportunity to break away from the brigade with more than 300 clansmen under his command and quietly burrowed into the deep mountains and old forests. As one of the captains of Liu Bei's personal guards, Shamoke can still guess a little about Liu Bei's thoughts. Seeing that Liu Bei kept sending barbarians to his death, Shamoke felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Shamoko doesn't want to die! Seeing that Liu Bei was no longer safe here, he naturally chose to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away. It's just that the world is big, but it's hard to have a place for Shamoko. In order to capture and kill Shamoke, Liu Xie offered a heavy reward, rewarding Shamoke's head with the same weight of gold. In other words, how heavy Shamoko's head is, how much gold can be obtained by those who send it to the Han camp. Where is this still a meat head, it is clearly a golden head, and it is a great opportunity for many people to make a fortune.

Shamoko also knew that he was worth a lot of money now, but how could the guy who ate give it to someone easily. In order to save his life, Shamoko knew that the future was uncertain, but he still insisted on struggling and never waiting to die. But there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and Shamoko can no longer fully trust others, even the clansmen who have followed him so far, Shamoko can't fully trust him.

Suspicion has become the norm for Shamoko, and the slightest behavior of others that seems abnormal to him will arouse Shamoko's suspicions. Being suspicious is not a good thing, not only does it consume your own energy, but it is easier to alienate the people around you. The people who had followed Shamoko to this day could no longer stand Shamoko's distrust, but before they could make a move, Shamoko preemptively left the group and disappeared without a trace.

Shamoke wanted to be incognito, and it was not difficult for him to evade the pursuit of the Han army alone. Ancient times are different from modern times, the means of information and communication are backward, and in ancient times, as long as the murderer escaped a hundred miles, he was basically fine, as long as he did not say it himself, no one would generally know. Unlike modern times, if you do a little bad thing, you will be hunted down on the Internet, and you can get it back when you run to the edge of the sky.

And Shamoke's bad luck is unlucky in his carelessness, although others don't know what Shamoke looks like who was rewarded by the Han army, but they recognize the weapons made by Shamoke. Tribulus terrestris bones, a mace-shaped weapon that has no semicolon among the barbarians except for the use of Shamoko.

Samoke, who felt that he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, was also plotted. After breaking away from the brigade, Shamoko ran all the way, hungry and thirsty, and met a hunter in the deep mountains and old forests. Shamoke thought that no one would know him, but he didn't expect that this hunter did not live in the mountains, and only for his livelihood he built this small cabin in the mountains as a temporary resting place.

Orion's father and son didn't expect this good thing to fall on their father and son, but they didn't expect that God loves hard people, and this great good thing really appeared in front of him. Although Shamoko is brave, he can't prevent the deliberate harm of others, and a special mushroom soup made by Orion makes Shamoko lose the ability to resist.

Mushrooms belong to mushroom food, there are many kinds, generally in the wild, encounter mushrooms in the forest, if you don't know, don't eat it. Not all mushrooms can be eaten! Some mushrooms are poisonous and fatal, while others can cause people to hallucinate and lose their ability to resist. Orion, who has been walking in the mountains and forests for a long time, naturally knows better than Shamoko what kind of mushrooms should not be eaten. Moreover, the mushrooms and the hare were stewed in a pot, and the hungry and thirsty Shamoko could not care to tell if there was a problem with the food.

The army of the Han people was not difficult to find, and the father and son of Orion, who captured Shamoke, personally carried Shamoke to the Han camp to receive the reward. As for why there was a lot of fun, it was mainly due to the greed of the hunter father and son, Liu Xie offered a reward for Shamoke's head, in order to get a little more gold, Orion father and son beat Shamoke violently before sending Shamoke to the Han camp, and the head turned into a pig's head, which was a big circle, but he couldn't recognize his original face.

"I'm not, I'm not." Shamoke, who was interrogated by the Han army, shouted loudly. Anyway, at this time, his head was so swollen that he couldn't tell his true face, and Shamoke, who was unwilling to die here, naturally wanted to cry out loudly. And the only thistle bone that can prove Shamoko's identity is also said by Shamoko to be picked up by accident in the forest.

Orion's father and son were very "simple", regretting that they had not personally confirmed Shamoke's identity before, at this time Shamoke denied it, and in the absence of other evidence, Orion's father and son could only admit that they were unlucky, and took a little hard-earned money given to them by the Han army and left.

And after the father and son of Orion left, Shamoke was also brought to Liu Xie, relying on the fact that no one recognized him at this time, Shamoke still shouted loudly, and even made up a lie to try to fool him out, hoping that the Han army could let him go. It's just that Liu Xie is the kind of master who can be easily fooled, isn't it just that his face is swollen, it's easy to do, let the military medical officer dispense some medicine to Shamoke to reduce swelling, whether it is clear to me at a glance.

"What? Don't shout injustice? Seeing Shamoke sitting on the ground with a decadent face, Liu Xie asked jokingly. Cao Zhang, who was on the side, suddenly smiled and said, "Holy Lord, we have saved a lot now." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie glanced at Cao Zhang, turned his head and asked Sima Yi, "Zhongda, do you think it's better for this Shamoke to be dead or alive?" ”

"There is a man who lives, and he is dead; Some people are dead, but they are still alive. ”

"Mr. Zhongda, can you not sell Guanzi?" Cao Zhang, who didn't understand, complained to Sima Yi dissatisfied.

Sima Yi smiled when he heard this, and said to Liu Xie: "Shengshang, it doesn't really matter if Shamoke dies or not, the key is what does Shengshang want to do with him?" ”

"Huh...... It seems that Zhongda also thought of it. Liu Xie looked at Sima Yi and smiled.

Cao Zhang's ambition is to be a military general, and he has never liked things that use his brain. Liu Xie played dumb riddles with Sima Yi, and Cao Zhang, who didn't figure it out, had to go to his brother Cao Zhi to solve his puzzles. Cao Zhi, who was busy dealing with chores in the army, listened to his brother while dealing with the trivial matters at hand, and when Cao Chang finished speaking, Cao Zhi also put down his pen and said to Cao Zhang: "Third brother, it's not that the younger brother said you, even if your ambition is to be a general, you have to read more books when you are fine, I didn't understand such a simple thing, you said you ......."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and tell me what the hell do you mean by the saint and Mr. Zhongda?" Cao Chang interrupted Cao Zhi's words and said.

"Do you need to ask? Of course, he was going to use Shamoko as an excuse to find trouble with the barbarian tribes who had not yet been annexed. One crime of harboring the imperial court is enough for the imperial army to do something against those barbarian tribes. ”

“…… Will Shamoko die? ”

"Some people are alive ......"

"Shut up, don't answer me with Mr. Chungda's words." Without waiting for Cao Zhi to finish speaking, Cao Zhang interrupted rudely. Cao Zhi choked and couldn't help rolling his eyes, and wanted to say a few more words about Cao Zhang, but Cao Zhang was a man of action, and he would do it if he said it, and Cao Zhi was not Cao Zhang's opponent. In Cao Zhang's words, if you make me mentally sad, I will make you physically miserable.

"Third brother, have you heard the news?" Cao Zhi suddenly asked Cao Zhangdao.

"What's the news?" Cao Zhangyan asked in confusion.

"What else can I say, I heard that my father will return to Chang'an from the Western Regions soon."

"Oh, that's what you said. That's right, if today's unification is just around the corner, I heard that the imperial court is going to make a big reward to commend the contributions of the military generals to the imperial court over the years. ”

"I wonder what reward my father will have?"

"Then it's not clear, but you'd better not get your hopes up, the ones who have contributed to the court are those old ministers who have followed the saint for many years, and we want to be rewarded, and we have to see the future. Zijian, why did you suddenly ask about this? Cao Zhang suddenly asked in confusion.

"It's the second brother, he ordered someone to send a letter from his hometown, hoping that we can intercede with his father on his behalf, he doesn't want to continue to guard his hometown's ancestral business."
