Chapter 188: The Hu people invade the south
Zhang Ji was lucky, and when he arrived in Jiangling, it happened to be when Liu Xie decided to return north. Over the past two months or so, Liu Xie has been constantly mobilizing people and adjusting the deployment of the department. Originally, Liu Xie still had the idea of taking the opportunity to cross the river, but after Chang'an Xunyu's handwritten letter was delivered, Liu Xie had to dispel this idea.
Xun Yu is Liu Xie's logistics housekeeper, can be called the reincarnation of Xiao He, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is not much grain and grass left for Liu Xie to squander, once Liu Xie launches a campaign to recover Jingnan, there will inevitably be a shortage of grain and grass in the later stage, which will directly affect the outcome of the battle.
Liu Xie didn't want to take risks, and today, Liu Xie couldn't take risks, with his huge advantages, even if he consumed his opponent, he would kill his opponent. What's more, it's just three more years of patience, and when the food and grass are sufficient, you can wave your army south, and it will be decided by a war.
If Xun Yu's letter was just one reason for Liu Xie to give up the current recovery of Jingnan, then another reason also made Liu Xie feel worried.
Something happened in the state! Led by the Xianbei people Kebineng, they teamed up with their fellow tribesmen Budugen, Hunu Huchuquan and others to wave their troops to the south and plunder and merge the state. It is said that Bingzhou is Yuan Xi's territory, and it is not Liu Xie's turn to worry about it. But Yuan Xi's guy actually retreated from the invasion of Kebineng and others, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, so he only ordered his generals to open their jaws to guard the Huguan Pass to ensure the safety of Yecheng, and didn't care about the life or death of the people in Bingzhou.
Liu Xie, as the son of the Han Dynasty, naturally couldn't learn from Yuan Xi to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Xun Yu's letter made it very clear that the grain and grass stored in the official warehouse were only enough to support the battle all the way, so Liu Xie could choose, and Liu Xie did not hesitate to choose to go north to clean up the Hu people. Whether it is with Cao Cao or with Liu Bei, it is an internal contradiction in their own family, and resisting the invasion of the Hu people is related to the national righteousness.
"Who are you talking about?" Liu Xie was explaining to Xu Shu, who was left behind in Jiangling, what matters Xu Shu needed to pay attention to after he left, when he suddenly heard a report that someone outside claimed to be Zhang Ji and asked to see him.
"Back to the saint, that person called himself Zhang Ji Zhang Zhongjing."
Liu Xie didn't know who Zhang Ji was, but he had been famous for a long time about Zhang Zhongjing. When the medical school was first established, Hua Tuo once said to Liu Xie that there was only one Zhang Zhongjing in the world who could match him in medical skills. Liu Xie also sent people to search for Zhang Zhongjing, but unfortunately there was no good news, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhongjing to send it to the door himself.
"Hurry up, please ......" Liu Xie saw the person who came to report the news standing outside the door in a daze, and hurriedly ordered. It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xie hurriedly stopped the man, got up and walked out, and ordered as he walked: "Go and order someone to open the middle door, Yuan Zhi, you go out with me to greet you." ”
Generally speaking, the middle door of the official office will not be opened easily, and usually the people in the official office enter and exit through the side door, and only when there is something important or someone with distinguished status comes to the official office, will the middle door be opened to show respect. However, Xu Shu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Liu Xie's order to open the middle door to greet Zhang Zhongjing, and immediately agreed after hearing Liu Xie's greeting and followed out of the house.
People eat grains and miscellaneous grains, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not get sick for the rest of their lives. Therefore, doctors can not be offended easily, especially miracle doctors with superb medical skills, which is equivalent to preparing an extra life for themselves, which may be used at any time.
Zhang Ji is also a human being, although he is indifferent to fame and fortune, but when he saw Liu Xie's order to open the middle door to greet him in person, he was still very moved. Before coming, Zhang Ji had heard Liu Qi say that when he was Corporal Zi Lixian today, when he saw it today, what he said was true.
"How late did the gentleman come, follow me into the house to speak." Liu Xie didn't wait for Zhang Ji to salute him, took two steps to support Zhang Ji, and said enthusiastically.
"The Holy One is tormented by the old decay, how can the old decay be so virtuous, and receive such a courtesy from the Holy One." Zhang Ji said with some excitement.
"However, but, it's not at all, I have heard of Mr. Su's name, but I have never had the opportunity to see him, and Mr. is here today, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes." Liu Xie said and pulled Zhang Ji into the official mansion.
Liu Xie is so polite to Zhang Ji, of course, he is not a pure admirer of Zhang Ji, he still wants to pull Zhang Ji into his medical school, study medical science with Hua Tuo's partner, and train more qualified doctors. Of course, he still has a little bit of unknown thoughts, Zhang Ji's medical skills are superb, and he is drawn under his command, so if someone else is seriously ill, no one can cure him.
It's best to talk to the doctor to talk about medical things, after Liu Xie invited Zhang Ji to sit down, he chatted about the cases that Liu Xie had seen, and when it was mentioned that Hua Tuo had operated on Guo Jia to take poison, Zhang Ji's eyes couldn't help but light up. As a good doctor who has a pot to help the world, there is nothing more appealing than a new medical treatment.
"In ancient times, I heard that the divine doctor Bian Que could open surgery for people's intestines, but I didn't expect that Hua Tuo could also do it, but unfortunately Lao Yu was not present at the time and missed a grand event." Zhang Ji said to Liu Xie with some regret.
Liu Xieyi smiled when he heard this: "Why should Mr. feel sorry, Mr. doesn't know, now we have a new medical school in Dahan, and Hua Tuo is the head of the hospital, gathering famous doctors from all over the world to specialize in studying various incurable diseases." If you have time, you can go to Chang'an to have a look. ”
"Well, well, I must go to Chang'an after the old man goes home to visit." Zhang Ji nodded again and again.
Liu Xie heard Zhang Ji say that he was going to Chang'an, and he was overjoyed, as long as Zhang Ji went to Chang'an, he might not leave even if he was driven away. For these people who focus on research, Liu Xie knows very well how to make them obedient. Since Zhang Ji is interested in medical science, he must be interested in the treatment methods for various incurable diseases, but those things are still in the research stage, and they should not be disclosed to the public, and they even need to be kept secret from the outside world. If Zhang Ji is an outsider, then it is impossible for him to know the details, as long as he can arouse Zhang Ji's curiosity and let him join the medical school, it will be a matter of course.
After taking care of his own affairs, Zhang Ji also remembered an errand he had in Jiangling. Liu Xie was so enthusiastic that Zhang Ji couldn't find a chance to change the topic, but fortunately, Liu Xie stopped for a while, and Zhang Ji had the opportunity to mention a letter sent by Liu Qi when he came.
Liu Xie told the truth and didn't care about the 10,000 sailors under Liu Qi's command and hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou, Liu Xie didn't believe that he couldn't pick out good fighters from them. But since Liu Qi intends to vote, Liu Xie will naturally not turn him away. Receiving 10,000 sailors under Liu Qi means that Liu Bei's available sailors will be reduced by 10,000. When he led the army to Bingzhou to clean up the Hu people, it was best for Jingzhou to make trouble elsewhere to save himself from being distracted.
"Sir, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but I have more important things to deal with right now. Originally, this was a state affair, and it was not appropriate for Mr. to know, but I believed in Mr.'s character, and I believed that Mr. would not tell outsiders even if he knew, so I told Mr. I have intended to strike the army, not to settle with Liu Bei privately, but that something happened to our Han Dynasty, and the Hu people went south to burn and loot in the state, but Yuan Xi of Hebei Province ignored the people of the state, and as the son of the Han Dynasty, I have the responsibility and must protect the people of the Han Dynasty from being bullied by foreigners. Therefore, Liu Qi's affairs can only be slowed down for now. ”
"Shengshang, the old man is only afraid that the eldest prince Liu Qi will not be able to hold on to the saint and think of him. To tell the truth, the old man was able to contact the eldest son of Liu Qi because the eldest son of Liu Qi was poisoned. And the person who poisoned him, according to Liu Qi's own speculation, is likely to be the one who wants to take the 10,000 naval army under his command as his own. ”
"That's right...... Sir, can I give you another hard time? After hearing this, Liu Xie pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Jidao.
"Holy Lord, please command."
"I would like to ask my husband to go to Jingnan again, and inform Liu Qi that if he really comes to surrender, on the twenty-seventh of this month, I will ask him to lead his troops to Baling, and I will order someone to join him there, and then go to Jiangxia together. In addition, please inform Liu Qi that it is out of date. ”
“…… The saint can trust the old decay, and the old decay should do his best. It's just that the old man didn't say goodbye to Liu Bei, and when he returned to Jingnan, he was afraid that he would miss the major event of the saint. ”
"Sir, don't worry about this, I will send someone to protect Mr.
Seeing Liu Xie say this, Zhang Ji did not refuse, and promised to Jingnan for Liu Xie again. Liu Xie was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask Zhang Ji to go down to rest, and then found Shi A and Zhu Dao, and ordered the two of them to choose capable people to protect Zhang Ji, and at the same time reminded the two that even if they abandoned Liu Qi's 10,000 water army, they must not let Zhang Ji have any mistakes, otherwise they would come to see him.
This is the first time I have heard heavy words since following Liu Xie, Shi A and Zhu Dao can't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve, and strive to make this matter as perfect as possible.
Zhang Ji was able to escape from Jingnan to Jingbei smoothly, which caught Liu Bei off guard, and took advantage of the time difference to successfully escape. But if you return from Jingbei to Jingnan again, you can't do that. Fortunately, Zhang Ji was alone when he came, but when he left, he was surrounded by a group of people. With the help of skillful hands who are good at disguise techniques, Zhang Ji has also changed from an old doctor to a landlord and old wealth, and Shi A, Zhu Dao and others have become domestic slaves who protect the landlord's old wealth.
After sending Zhang Ji away, Liu Xie and Xu Shu continued to discuss things, and Jiangling was handed over to Xu Shu, and Liu Xie was very relieved. After experiencing a failure, Xu Shu has become more mature than before, and his actions are more thoughtful, plus Wei Yan and Hu Che'er who were assigned to Xu Shu, Jiangling will no longer have any major problems. What made Liu Xie feel a little difficult was Jiangxia, and it was enough for Jiangling to guard against Liu Bei and Xu Shu, but it was Jiangdong that Jiangxia wanted to guard.
From the current point of view, the Jiangdong Navy has no opponent on the water, and the Jingzhou Navy has suffered a great loss in combat strength after this turmoil, and it has no power to compete with the Jiangdong Navy Army. And Liu Feng has now changed his surname back to Kou Feng, and his ability does not seem to be enough to deal with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Pang Tong was prepared to be taken north by Liu Xie, and to deal with Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, there must be a person with considerable intelligence. After thinking about it, Liu Xie could only leave Jia Xu behind, with him as the leader, and Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others around him, and the Jiangdong Navy didn't want to take advantage of it in a short time.
"Lord, if Kou Feng is transferred out of Jiangxia, how will he be resettled?" Xu Shu asked.
"Hmm...... Let him select two thousand strong men from his headquarters to join the pro-army, and he will temporarily serve as my personal guard. Liu Xie replied after thinking about it.
"It's a good arrangement." Xu Shu thought of Kou Feng's bravery and nodded in agreement.
"Yuan Zhi, after getting down to business, let's talk about something personal."
"What does the lord want to say?"
"Still pretending to be garlic, then I'll tell you directly, when are you going to do things with other people's girls? If you don't give someone an explanation, I guess your mother won't let you enter the house when you return to Chang'an. ”
"My mother is talking to you again?"
"Not really. But I'm also wondering, people want to have good looks, to have good character, now I love you, what are you hesitating about? ”
“…… Lord, I, I feel that I am a little unworthy of others. Zhen'er, no matter her appearance or character, she is the best choice, but what does I Xu Shu have? I wanted to ask her for marriage after making a contribution this time, but I didn't want to ......," Xu Shu said with a gloomy expression.
“…… Yuan Zhi, General Huang Lao is not your fault for seeking benevolence. ”
"But if it wasn't for saving me......"
"Yuan Zhi! The deceased is gone, if you keep this matter in mind, then I don't dare to let you stay in Gangneung. Hatred can blind a person's eyes, and in the next period of time, the main thing you need to guard against is Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Jingnan. If you can't put down the matter of General Huang, then you are likely to fall for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's tricks again, and I don't want you to have an accident. Seeing this, Liu Xie shouted.
Xu Shu was like being drunk by someone, seeing Liu Xie looking at him sternly and with concern, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xu Shu He De How can he be, I have met many nobles in the first half of my life." …… The lord can rest assured, Xu Shu will not be called hatred, so Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang don't want to take advantage of Xu Shu again. ”
"Okay, I believe you, so when are you going to do something?" Liu Xie nodded, and asked again.
Regarding Liu Xie's perseverance, Xu Shu replied with a smile: "Now that my mother is in Chang'an, I can't do things in Jiangling, right?" ”
"Oh, that is, as long as your mother is around, you don't object."
“…… Lord, you won't be ......"
"That's it. Yuan Zhi, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's today. ”
"Today?! It won't be too rushed, right? Xu Shu exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh...... Yuan Zhi, you can be your groom with peace of mind. Someone ...... coming."
……
Jiangling City is handling the marriage of Xu Shu and Mi Zhen, the eldest lady of the Mi family. As the warden of Jiangling appointed by the imperial court, there are countless people in Jiangling City who want to find an opportunity to befriend Xu Shu, but they have never had a chance before. But now the opportunity has come, whether they know or not, they all come to the door with gifts to congratulate.
And when dealing with people with heads and faces in Jiangling City, Xu Shu understood Liu Xie's painstaking efforts. For Gangneung, he is an outsider, and if he wants to govern Gangneung well, he can't do without the support of the locals. But the time is short, how can there be time for him to visit one by one, and he is not familiar with the place, in case he misses any one and does not visit, it will offend people.
Take advantage of a wedding to bring together those who need to be visited. Gifts are still exchanged, people come to congratulate their marriage, and they naturally have to visit the door, so that the relationship will be closer, and Xu Shu can also find out who needs to be wooed in Jiangling, who needs support, and who needs to be suppressed.
Mi Zhu seemed very happy at this time, although his official position has not changed, he is still a master, but his brother-in-law is now the county guard of Jiangling, so his identity is naturally not ordinary. Although his official position has not changed, he is still a lord, but his brother-in-law is now the county guard of Gangneung, so his identity is naturally not ordinary. With the assistance of him, the head snake, Xu Shu can master Jiangling faster, and the main reason why Mi Zhu is willing to support Xu Shu is Liu Xie's attitude towards Xu Shu, which makes Mi Zhu convinced that there is absolutely no harm to him in having a good relationship with Xu Shu.
Liu Xie didn't care about the little abacus in Mi Zhu's heart, he showed his face when Xu Shu visited the church, and after receiving the toast of Xu Shu Mizhen and his wife, Liu Xie quietly left Jiangling with Dian Wei and others, and waited until Xu Shu took his wife to meet his mother the next day, and only learned from his wife that Liu Xie had left.
"This saint is really calculating everywhere, and he can't prevent it." Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Husband, why do you say that?" Mi Zhen on the side asked puzzled.
"Zhen'er, the Holy One borrowed you and I to leave when we got married, so as not to let people notice and make people mistakenly think that the Holy One is still in Jiangling, you will remember to tell the people in the house later, remember not to leak the news, otherwise I am worried that the Holy Lord will find me trouble in the future."
"Don't worry, the concubine has already warned the people in the house."
……
"My lord, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven't even drunk Yuanzhi's wedding wine. On the way to Xiangyang, Dian Wei couldn't help but complain to Liu Xie.
"Lao Dian, I think you are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, your strength, if you hold Yuan Zhi and fight for wine, wouldn't it be to let the Mi girl who has been waiting for Yuan Zhi for several years stay alone?" Liu Xie said with a smile when he heard this.
"Haha, that's right, Yuan Zhi's qi is a little worse. But the lord is in a hurry to leave, I'm afraid it's not just that I'm afraid that my old canon will disturb Yuanzhi's cave room, right? Dian Wei laughed.
"Count yourself smart, now that Bingzhou is being ravaged by the Hu people, we will go north one day sooner, and we will be able to save one more Han from the Hu people, do you think we should be in a hurry?"
"Those damn Hu people! This time I went to teach them a lesson, so that they would never dare to run to our big man to make trouble again. Dian Wei said hatefully.
"Huh...... Lao Dian, save this anger first, sooner or later there will be a time for you to vent, this time we will not only drive away the Hu people, but also take down the state. It is estimated that if Wen knew my plan, he would complain about me behind my back. ”
"Hahaha...... Lord, if Wen complains about you, it's not once or twice, just get used to it. ”
"You are not afraid of big things, and it is me who is complaining, not you."
"That's it."
