When Liu Zhang knew that Mrs. Liu was seriously ill because she had not received treatment, he immediately mobilized all manpower and material resources to find a famous doctor, and everyone under Liu Zhang's command naturally did their best, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, Mi Fang, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, all those who had a little relationship with the family and had connections, began to move around.

After Empress He, who was far away in Luoyang, learned of this, she put aside the battle for the throne and ordered He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants to join forces to find a famous doctor. He Jin and the ten permanent servants were fighting, and they suddenly got Queen He's will, and they were confused, and they thought that Queen He wanted to treat Liu Hong. When they learned that Empress He was for Liu Zhang's mother, they couldn't help but sigh. However, the Ten Standing Attendants sighed that Liu Zhang could not enter Beijing, and He Jin sighed that girls were extroverted.

Empress He had a will, and He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants had no choice but to send an imperial doctor to Shu, and this imperial doctor was the famous Ji Ping! It's a pity that although Jiping's medical skills are clever, they can't cure the terminally ill disease. Of course, this is also because the medical industry in the Han Dynasty was not developed enough. However, the arrival of Ji Ping greatly alleviated Mrs. Liu's illness, but it could not be cured, at least there was a lot less pain.

After four months in Chengdu, Liu Zhang accompanied Mrs. Liu every day. After the New Year, Mrs. Liu finally ran out of oil. On a bright spring morning, Mrs. Liu passed away with a smile on her face. In the world, the greatest pain is the separation of life and death, and the departure of loved ones, making Liu Zhang like a wounded lone wolf. Before Mrs. Liu's funeral ended, Liu Zhang's father, brother and wife did not dare to get too close to Liu Zhang.

The funeral was very grand, and Queen He specially ordered Mrs. Liu to be buried according to the etiquette of the imperial concubine. If it weren't for the fear of the ministers' attack, Queen He would have wanted Mrs. Liu's funeral to be handled in accordance with the etiquette of the Queen Mother. But no matter how grand the funeral was, it couldn't eliminate the grief in Liu Zhang's heart. remembered that in order not to call his mother, he pretended to be dumb for several years, and Liu Zhang hated to slap himself a few times.

Death is like a lamp going out, and after the funeral, everything is dull. Liu Zhang's three brothers, before the funeral, insisted that Liu Yan take Zhang Lu's mother to commemorate Mrs. Liu, but Liu Yan was unwilling, and the result was just that he did not turn against him, because Liu Yan was their father. However, after the funeral, Liu Zhang's three brothers only said goodbye to Liu Zhang and left Chengdu.

"Father, I'm ready to go back to Merge State!" Not long after Liu Fan and the three left, Liu Zhang didn't want to stay in Chengdu anymore, every time he saw Zhang, Liu Zhang would think of Mrs. Liu and the arrogant Zhang Wei in Yangping.

"You... Are you finally leaving? Liu Yan seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

"Yes!" Liu Zhang saluted and said: "Bingzhou is busy with official business, I have been in Yizhou for too long!" ”

Liu Yan smiled bitterly and asked, "Did I really do something wrong?" ”

"What do you mean by father?" Liu Zhang pretended to be stupid on the side.

Liu Yan smiled: "You kid is still like that, don't you really know what I'm talking about?" ”

"If my father is talking about my mother, I can only say that everyone is right! But my mother died, and someone had to take the responsibility. That Zhang is the culprit, without her, her mother would not have died, or rather, she would not have died so early! Liu Zhang's face was cold, and the murderous aura in his eyes made Liu Yan feel a little cold.

"Can't you just let go of Zhang?" Liu Yan looked ahead with lost eyes, and muttered, "I have already lost a lady, do I want to lose another one?" ”

Looking at Liu Yan's lost expression, Liu Zhang felt a little unbearable in his heart, and he smiled lightly: "Father, don't worry! Even if I want to kill Zhang, I won't kill you while you're alive! Unless she dies before you, I will make her serve you forever! ”

"This..." Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang in surprise, he had never been able to see through this little son, and now Liu Yan felt that this little son was even more strange.

"Father don't be surprised, Mother is gone, but you are still my father!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I have a sentence I want to say to my father, if there is anything I don't like, please forgive my father!" ”

"Say it!" Liu Yan sighed, he had four sons, and now only one son was still willing to talk to him. Blame? Don't you even have a son?

Liu Zhang sneered: "If my father still wants to have a son to send him to the end, don't give Hanzhong to Zhang Lu!" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Yan frowned and asked.

Liu Zhang told Liu Yan what happened in Yangping, and Liu Yan slapped the table angrily and said, "Vertical Zi'an dares to do this!" My son said, who should guard this Hanzhong? ”

"Yan Yan!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "As for Zhang Lu, if my father doesn't want to touch him, he will be transferred to Zhu Ti!" ”

"Good! As my son said! After Liu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Liu Zhang with a reluctant expression.

"In that case, my son is leaving!" The two were relatively speechless, and Liu Zhang saluted Liu Yan and was about to leave.

"My son!" Liu Yan stopped Liu Zhang and asked, "Can't you just not leave?" ”

"Father, I am the state pastor of the imperial court!" Liu Zhang didn't turn around, but replied softly.

Liu Yan said quite disappointed: "My father is almost sixty years old, I don't know when, I will go to find your mother." Can't you stay with me? ”

In fact, Liu Zhang also knew that Liu Yan didn't have a few years to live, but he really didn't want to see Zhang.

Seeing Liu Zhang's hesitation, Liu Yan smiled and said, "My son, you can stay in Yizhou!" This Yizhou is 10 million times better than Bingzhou, and the population of money and food here is one of the best in the Han Dynasty! As long as you are willing to stay, I will give you this thorn mansion! ”

"Father, this Yizhou should be the eldest brother!" Liu Zhang turned to Liu Yan and said, "The eldest brother is the eldest son!" ”

"Alas!" Liu Yan sighed and said, "Your eldest brother said that unless I kill the Zhang family, he won't even inherit my title!" ”

"Big brother is really ruthless!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Then how did my father know that I would accept Yizhou?" ”

"Because you have big ambitions!" Liu Yan stared at Liu Zhang and said word by word.

"Hehe..."Liu Zhang shook his head and smiled: "Have big ambitions? Even if you can't take revenge on your mother, what ambition do you have to talk about? All right! I'm leaving! ”

"You won't stay?" Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang in surprise.

"Even if I want to stay, I have to go back to the state to make arrangements!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Father, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

Under Liu Yan's reluctant gaze, Liu Zhang strode out of the Yizhou Thorn Mansion. After Liu Zhang left, Liu Yan immediately named Yan Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong. When the news spread in Yizhou, many people saw that Liu Yan planned to let Liu Zhang come to Yizhou, and the most troublesome person was Zhang Lu's mother and son.

Since Liu Zhang decided to go to Yizhou, when he returned to Merge Zhou, he played a cautious eye, and he asked Guan Yu to lead people to guard Yangping Pass. Hanzhong Taishou Yan Yan knew that Guan Yu was Liu Zhang's cronies, and he did not dare to slack off on grain and grass materials, so as not to cause Liu Zhang's dissatisfaction. You must know that Yan Yan is still angry about disobeying Liu Zhang's affairs before! Especially after knowing that Huang Zhong was promoted to the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, Yan Yan regretted it even more.

When he came to Yizhou, Liu Zhang brought infantry, so it took more than ten days, and when he went back, all the 10,000 infantry were left in Yangping Pass. Without the drag of the infantry, Liu Zhang returned to Jinyang in only ten days. When Liu Zhang told Guo Jia and the four of them about Liu Yan's desire to entrust Yizhou, Guo Jia's eyes were as bright as searchlights.

You know, war is more than family. The more abundant the money, food, and materials, the greater the chance of winning. In fact, Guo Jia and others were not optimistic about the annexation of the state, if it were not for the fact that the annexation was close to Yizhou, Liu Zhang could get grain and grass from Liu Yan, they would have suggested that Liu Zhang choose Jingzhou or Yangzhou.

Now Liu Yan handed over Yizhou to Liu Zhang, that is to say, Liu Zhang can completely control the granary of Yizhou. With the grain of Yizhou, raise the soldiers of the state, when the world changes greatly, Liu Zhangjin can occupy the anointed land in Guanzhong, and then fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, and retreat can stick to Shu to wait for the time, which is a pie in the sky for Liu Zhang. Guo Jia and the others never thought that Liu Yan would hand over Yizhou to Liu Zhang, after all, Liu Zhang still has three elder brothers, so he can't turn Liu Zhang's turn.

Since there is such an optimal base as Yizhou, Jinyang has begun a large-scale relocation. Of course, most of what Liu Zhang moved away was in the military industry, such as the weapons and armor workshop. What's more, Bingzhou can't be lost, not only because the people here are fierce, but more importantly, Bingzhou produces war horses! In ancient wars, cavalry was the king of the battlefield, and Liu Zhang didn't want to lose this advantage. Besides, whether it is Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, or Zhang Liao, they are all generals who are good at cavalry warfare, and it is too wasteful to let them lead infantry!

If you can't lose the state, you have to leave someone to guard it. After discussing for a long time, Liu Zhang decided to let Tian Feng temporarily take the post of pastor of the state, leaving Xi Zhicai to drive for the state, and the general of the town guard, leaving Zhang Liao, Pei Yuanshao, and Liao Hua, and the main general was naturally Zhang Liao. Originally, Liu Zhang still wanted to keep Mi Fang, but this kid was more cunning. Before Liu Zhang made a decision, Mi Fang planned to move the Mi family into Chengdu. Mi's move is a big deal, and it's always hard to let Mi Zhen's little girl come forward, and in desperation, Liu Zhang had no choice but to let Mi Fang also enter Shu.

Liu Zhang led everyone into Shuzhong, and the officials in Shuzhong were a little worried. Several officials united to write to the imperial court, hoping to prevent Liu Zhang from entering Shu, but their recital was handed over, but there was no response. In desperation, most officials in Shuzhong chose to compromise. And those who don't compromise, as long as they don't find trouble for Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang doesn't want to find their business!

As for Liu Yan, in order to fulfill his promise to Liu Zhang, he moved to live in a village outside the city, and Liu Zhang often visited him. It's just that every time Liu Zhang goes, Liu Yan has to be hidden by the Zhang family so as not to upset Liu Zhang. Of course, Liu Yan also helped Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei speak, hoping that Liu Zhang could spare them as much as possible.

Every time he saw Liu Yan's expectant eyes, Liu Zhang couldn't bear to refuse, but he didn't want to deceive his old father. In the end, Liu Zhang promised Liu Yan that he would never kill Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei with his own hands. Of course, if someone else kills, it has nothing to do with him!
