Chapter 838: The Messenger Arrives in Chang'an
Liu Xun's long sword was slowly raised, and the generals of the Sichuan Army, Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Fan Lixiang, Wang Shuang, Guan Yinping, Pang De, and other generals of the Sichuan Army, the Xiliang Army, the Barbarian Army, and the Sichuan Army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the suburbs of Chang'an.
Many people in Guanzhong watched, all silently prayed for the victory of the Sichuan army, most of them were former refugees, in a year, the Sichuan army vigorously settled them, they finally settled down.
Merchants have donated money and grain, they basically have industries in Guanzhong, if Guanzhong becomes a battlefield, the consequences are unimaginable, the Sichuan army is defeated, and they have no good life.
After the sacrifice to the heavens, Liu Xun immediately convened a military meeting, and the oath was only for the soldiers and the people to see, and the real strategic deployment was the key.
The generals have not yet arrived, Liu Xun said to Zhou Budo on the side: "Don't doubt my brother, you will talk about the strategic plan in a while, I am afraid that there will be any mistakes and omissions." ”
According to the entire situation, Zhou Budo formulated a strategic plan, and asked Liu Xun to announce at the military meeting that this was Liu Xun's first command of a major war, and it was a big war all over the world, and all the troops of the Sichuan army would be used.
As long as the military discussion is over, the world will be filled with gunsmoke.
This war is too important to the Sichuan army, related to the future trend of the Sichuan army, if it wins, the Sichuan army has survived the danger of Liu Zhang's death, if defeated, the foundation of the Sichuan army will be shaky, or even more serious.
"Young lord, no, lord, you must preside over this military meeting, this is your war against Cao Cao and Lusu, and at the same time your war against yourself, if you take this hurdle over, you can't inherit the legacy of the previous king."
Zhou Budo said to Liu Xun, and at the same time picked up a stack of books, which were all strategic deployments written by Zhou Budo. Zhou Budo took these brochures and said to Liu Xun: "Lord." I'll take them back and destroy them. This battle is commanded by you, and the lord remembers that this war is not a battle for territory, but a battle of life and death for the great cause of the Sichuan army.
Also, my lord, don't call me my brother anymore, from now on, I am your courtier. ”
After Zhou Budo finished speaking, he took the booklet into his arms. Liu Xun took a deep breath and didn't say anything, he now knows that this is what he must face, even if he is unwilling, he must face it, if he lets his father's great cause die halfway, it will be ten thousand times more terrible than this.
"My lord." Zhou Budo said suddenly: "Don't doubt that these booklets were not destroyed on the spot, the lord is not afraid to leave these booklets without doubt, if he wins, he will take credit." If you lose, will you push it to the lord? ”
"Don't doubt my brother. At this time, I was very nervous, don't entertain me, no matter what aspect of analysis, interests, wisdom, or temperament, I don't doubt that my brother will not do this. ”
Liu Xun's eyes only looked outside the door of the main hall, Zhang Ren had already stepped into the threshold, Liu Xun's face was tense, and he looked very nervous.
Zhou Budo listened to Liu Xun's words and looked at Liu Xun quietly, he knew that Liu Xun was indeed a little nervous, but that tension was caused by the huge responsibility on his body.
From Liu Xun's words just now, Zhou Budo saw Liu Xun's wisdom, perhaps a different way of doing things from the former king Liu Zhang, although he was still nervous, but reason has always been on him, and his professors over the years have not been in vain.
And Liu Xun's words not only made Zhou Budo feel that Liu Xun was sensible, but also moved.
Liu Xun has more human touch than Liu Zhang, and he will take into account emotions more when he is rational, just like these booklets, if it is Liu Zhang, what will he do?
If it is because of these human feelings, which leads to failure in troubled times, then it is wrong to blindly ignore this human factor in education, and the ancestor Liu Zhang is completely right.
But is that really the case?
Zhou Budo thought about it, looked at Liu Xun, and said in his heart: "I don't doubt that I will wholeheartedly assist the lord in this life, and use time to prove who is right and who is wrong with the ancestors." ”
Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Wang Shuang, Fan Lixiang, Guan Yinping, Zhu Rong and other military generals stepped in, and Jiang Wan and other civil officials stood aside.
"Meet the young master." Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other generals had already bowed, but as soon as the words came out, they felt that something was wrong, Zhang Ren bowed to Liu Xun: "The last general, Zhang Ren, meet the lord." ”
"Meet my lord." Gao Pei and the others finally changed their words, but they always felt awkward.
"Okay, Zhongqing is flat, now Cao Cao, King of Wei, Jiangdong Lusu, Jiaozhou Shixie, each faction of the army to attack my Xichuan, the situation is critical, you ......" Liu Xunzheng said, suddenly a soldier outside ran into the hall, and as soon as he came in, he fell in the hall, with less air in and more breath, and he was almost exhausted.
When everyone saw this scene, they were all shocked, Liu Xun immediately bypassed the handsome case, and said to the soldiers: "What's the matter? But the enemy attacked and the state and county were lost? ”
Everyone was the same as Liu Xun's guess, at this time, they were so panicked, there was only this one possibility, Zhou Budo was shocked in his heart, could it be that Cao Cao really had a Sixth Route Army, and he launched an attack so quickly?
"No............ No...... Is it the main ...... Master ......"
"Give him some soup." Liu Xun immediately ordered, at this time Zhou Budo was relieved, Liu Xun was nervous before the military meeting, maybe he was still very nervous now, but he controlled it very well.
The palace maid quickly brought a bowl of chicken soup for the soldiers to drink, and the soldiers drank two sips, relieved themselves, and immediately said: "Report to the young lord, the generals, the lord is not dead, he has come back from the dead, and now he is leading the army back." ”
"What...... Is it? ”
After the soldier finished speaking, the whole hall could hear the needle falling, Liu Xun was silent for three seconds, and said two words, Gao Pei and other generals stared at the soldier, their heads were chaotic, and they didn't remember what they heard just now.
"It's the lord, the lord is not dead, and now he is rushing back with the army." The soldier repeated again.
"What do you say? Spreading the news indiscriminately is still such a big deal, but it will be punished. Gao Pei said loudly.
"Even if I punish my whole clan, I will say so, I am the lord's Dongzhou personal soldier, the second day after the lord came back from the dead, he sent me back to summon the news, the road is thousands of miles away, after the Yumen entered the customs, because no one believed the news reported, the supply of war horses did not go well, and it was delayed for many days, and it only arrived today, and I asked the young lord and the generals to forgive me."
Everyone heard it clearly, and they were completely shocked, and Liu Xun's hands were trembling. Suddenly, he said to the soldier in a hurry: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that Daddy had already been buried? How can it be resurrected from the dead. Is the message really confirmed? Daddy, where is he now? How's the body? ”
The soldier said, "The lord has indeed been buried." But it was a fake death, it was the queen of Shache, Latia, who saved the lord with a strange spell, and removed the lord's stubborn illness for many years, the villain saw the lord in person, and the lord personally ordered the villain to report the news, and the news was accurate.
After the villain left, the matter in the Western Regions was not over, and the lord was still waiting for the Huang Yueying army division to conquer the Yue army. It should be back with the army now. ”
The soldier said clearly, regardless of so many people, it was really too much physical exertion, and he drank a large bowl of chicken soup with a grunt.
Zhang Ren told the soldiers to go down to rest, so that they could recuperate, and said to Liu Xun: "Lord...... Young lord, the news should be correct, and the lord did not have misfortune. ”
Liu Xun muttered: "Daddy, he didn't die, he didn't die, and his illness was cured." Daddy didn't abandon Xun'er. Liu Xun said, tears sliding down at once. All the generals now see that Liu Xun is very calm, but only Zhou Budo knows that Liu Xun is pretending, and in order to make the generals feel at ease, he has to force his composure.
In fact, Liu Xun really wanted to cry, the tears now are sadness that has been accumulated for so long, and after getting the news of Liu Zhang's resurrection, he finally couldn't restrain his emotions anymore.
All the generals slowly recovered from the shock, and Gao Pei suddenly laughed: "I'll just say, the lord is auspicious, he must be fine, the lord must live a long life, not only to unify the world, but also to the Han Dynasty to rise to peace, the power of the Sichuan army, and deter Hu Luyikou, hahaha." ”
Yang Huai and other generals laughed, Zhang Ren Ma Chao Huang Zhong's face finally went to the tightness of the past few days, and his face showed joy, Guan Yinping bit his lip and tried to restrain his tears, but saw that although Fan Lixiang was calm on the surface, his hands were trembling, and Zhu Rong's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Great, the lord has returned, why not be afraid of Cao Cao, Lu Su Shixie and other young people, immediately announce the news of the lord's resurrection, and scare those enemies to death, hahaha." Huang Zhong laughed.
"Now Cao Cao Lusu is going to tremble, he must have repented in his intestines, and he is going to attack us." Wang Shuang said.
"Young lord, immediately convene the civil and military officials, as well as the people of the whole city, please send out the Empress Dowager Fushou and announce the resurrection of the lord." Yang Huai said loudly.
"yes."
"yes."
The generals echoed, Liu Xun was also happy, and just said the word "good", and suddenly Zhou Budo said in a deep voice: "No." ”
Everyone looked at Zhou Budo, and Gao Pei said coldly: "Zhou Budo, what do you mean?" ”
Zhou Budo walked out, clenched his fists, raised his head and said to the generals: "It's a good thing that the lord has come back from the dead, but it's useless to announce it now, who will believe it?" Will the people believe it? Will the generals and soldiers below believe it? Will the low-level civil servants believe it? Will the enemy believe it?
We announced that the lord had been buried, and the whole city was mourned, and the news that the lord was going to die of a head in five years had been spread, and now the four-way army is besieging our Sichuan army, we will announce that the lord has died and come back to life, but the lord can't stand up and speak, and no one will believe it.
They will only think that we are a move to calm the hearts of the army and the people, Cao Cao Lusu will not believe it, and our soldiers and people will not believe it either, and as the price of announcing the resurrection of the lord from the dead, it is to take the throne of the young lord.
The young lord has just ascended the throne, and he will be abolished immediately, and the lord will come back from the dead and no one will believe it, who will our military and civilians believe when the time comes? Isn't there chaos in the world? This is definitely worse than the news that the Lord has come back from the dead. ”
"But the lord has indeed come back from the dead, and we can tell the soldiers and civilians what happened." Yang Huai said.
"Really? It is already unbelievable that he has been buried and resurrected from the dead, five years of head disease, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo and other today's holy hands can't be cured, and the queen of a small country in the Western Regions has been cured, who will believe it? ”
"Hmph." Gao Pei suddenly walked out and looked at Zhou Budo with cold eyes: "Zhou Budo, what do you mean by saying so much?" Does it mean that you don't send the news of the lord's resurrection from the dead, and continue to call the young lord king? Where have you done this? What is your heart? ”
"Gao Pei." Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to the proportions of your speech. ”
"General, I think Gao Pei's words are right." Yang Huai said that the six generals under Zhang Ren in the past were also the old foundations of the Sichuan Army, Gao Pei, Deng Xian, Yang Huai, Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Lei Tong. Yang Huai and Liu Bi are steady.
Yang Huai said to Zhang Ren: "If the lord is not there, we support the young lord, but now since the lord has not suffered misfortune, according to Zhou Budo's meaning, we still have to call the young lord the king, this doesn't make sense anyway, to say lightly, it is to ignore the lord, to say the point, it is a big rebellion." ”
When Yang Huai said the last four words, he glanced at Zhou Budo coldly, Zhou Budo frowned, Liu Xun was about to stand up and speak, Zhou Budo stood up first, and said to Gao Pei Yang Huai: "The two generals are right, but Zhou Budo wants to ask you, is it important to respect the lord now, or is it important to face the enemy?"
The soldier who reported the news just now said that even our border soldiers did not believe the news of the resurrection of the lord, so that the horses could not be replenished and the customs clearance was delayed.
Now immediately let the young lord step down, and the news that the lord is alive is not trusted, our military and civilians are in turmoil, how can we fight when the time comes? Do you want to see us in Guanzhong into a mess, and then Cao Jun takes advantage of the situation? ”
"You mean we pretend not to know that the lord is alive?" Yang Huai looked at Zhou Budo, if it weren't for Zhou Budo's cronies Liu Xun, Yang Huai would have drawn his sword against him.
"I just know what to do now." Zhou Budo said loudly.
"Sanity? Hahaha, fart. Gao Pei stared at Zhou Budo and snorted: "You are a stinky child, what kind of reason do you know?" Usually conceited to understand astronomy, down to geography, talk on paper, proud of the world, you look at the battle with the Great Wall of Zhelanying, what did you look like? Are you embarrassed to talk about sanity here? ”
Not many people know the truth of the battle with Zhelanying on the Great Wall, even generals like Gao Pei and Ma Chao don't know, they just think it's very strange, it was the biggest defeat in the history of the Sichuan army, but after the defeat, the Sichuan army didn't move, continued to recuperate, and had no idea of revenge.
At this time, Gao Pei put it forward, and immediately won the approval of a large number of generals, everyone originally felt that Zhou Budo was young and knew what military affairs, and he was even more disdainful of the rumors of Zhou Budo in the past, but at the beginning of the argument against Xu Jing, Zhou Budo's reputation was too loud, and Chengdu suppressed the rebellion, and it seemed that he had made a contribution, so no one said anything.
But this time the Great Wall was defeated in the first battle, and all the generals were sure that Zhou Budo was the same figure as Zhao Kuo, and the original Chengdu rebellion was all attributed to Wei Yan, after all, that battle was indeed commanded by Wei Yan.
Zhou Budo still wanted to say something, but the majority of those who opposed Zhou Budo were still white, and he couldn't speak at all. (To be continued......)
