Gongzi Liu He was happy to have the eldest son, and after the news came out, the city rejoiced and everyone celebrated.

Taifu Liu Yu named his grandson "Xiang", implying the meaning of helping and assisting, which shows that his loyalty to the Han family has never wavered.

Liu He didn't dare to compete with his father for the right to take the name, although he was a little dissatisfied with the name Liu Xiang in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that the name was just a "code name", and whether his son would assist the Son of Heaven or become the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future depended on how he did it.

Because of the careful care of Hua Tuo, the most outstanding gynecological doctor of this era, Cai Yan gave birth to Liu Xiang naturally, so her body recovered well, and there were no common postpartum symptoms such as qi and blood deficiency and physical weakness, as long as she recuperated for a few days, she could get out of bed and walk. In history, after Cai Yan was taken away by the Southern Huns, he gave birth to two sons for King Youxian, which shows that although Cai Yan was born as a talented woman, she had no difficulty in giving birth, and it was very easy to give birth to a boy.

Cai Yong, a scholar, is very happy about the birth of his grandson Liu Xiang, although his grandson's surname is Liu, but it gives him a sense of continuity of the bloodline, and the scholar is now looking forward to living a few more springs and autumns, watching his grandson grow up strongly, and enjoying the joy of family life by the way.

In Taifu's mansion, Liu Yu's father and son finally had time to sit down and talk about their hearts.

The last time this kind of conversation was a year ago, since Liu He sat on the Western Front, the father and son have been communicating through intelligence channels, so it is naturally not as convenient and direct as sitting down and talking face-to-face.

"Shiren, what is the current state of the war on the Western Front?"

"After the Battle of Baishan City and the Battle of Danhan Mountain, the threat to the northwest of Youzhou has been completely lifted, and the Hu people will never dare to attack the border again within five years. Now two armies in Youzhou have entered the north of Bingzhou, among which Zhao Zilong led about 15,000 cavalry to expel the remnants of the Xianbei people in the four counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Shuofang, and Zhang Junyi occupied Pingcheng, the important town of Yanmen County......"

After listening to his son's detailed introduction, Liu Yu asked thoughtfully: "Shiren is preparing to enter the state and merge the state?" ”

Liu Yu was appointed by the imperial court as the nominal Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Pingzhou (the three northeastern provinces plus the Korean Peninsula. That is, where Gongsun Du is now entrenched) The governor of the four states naturally has the right to intervene in the affairs of the state, but because the state is now occupied by the warlord Yuan Shao, Liu Yu's authority has not actually reached the state.

Liu He replied truthfully: "The child doesn't want to send troops to merge with the state for the time being, only because Yuan Shao opened the door to robber, and this time there was a lot of secret collusion with the Hu people who went south, so he sent two fierce generals to lead the army into the state to show punishment." ”

Liu Yu bowed his head and said, "Well, Shiren is acting so safely, I am relieved. Youzhou has just experienced the catastrophe of last year. Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce battle with the Hu people, and now they need to recuperate, and they really can't withstand the toss of war. ”

Liu He looked at his father's face and said softly: "The child is only afraid that he will disappoint his father." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yu frowned.

Liu He still replied truthfully: "According to the established plan of the Command, the Liao army will also launch an attack on Gongsun Du in Liaodong this summer, and at least break through the Wulu defense line before the arrival of winter, take the subject state of Liaodong, and display the army west of the Great Liaoshui." ”

"Youzhou may support this war?"

"If only 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao army are dispatched, it is not a big problem."

"That being the case. Then go ahead with the plan, but I have two requests that you have to agree to. ”

"Please also ask my father to make it clear."

"First, you can't go to Gongsun Du. Send your generals. ”

"Father rest assured, the child does not plan to conquer Liaodong in person."

"Second, seize the time to marry the woman of the Mi family and welcome Mi Zhen into the door."

"But. Zhao Ji just gave birth to a child for me, and now she is marrying Mi Zhen, is it ......" Liu He hesitated.

"It's because Zhao Ji has successfully given birth to a child. That's why you have to hurry up now to marry the daughter of the Mi family. Mi Zhen has been in Jicheng for half a year, and if she doesn't get married, people outside will talk about it. ”

Liu He thought about it carefully, and then understood his father's intentions, so he nodded and said, "The child understands, and when Xiang'er is full-term, I will marry Mi Zhen." ”

Liu Yu nodded, satisfied with his son's attitude, and then reminded Liu He and said: "After you and Mi Zhen get married later, I will send someone to Qiao's house in Wanxian County, Luzhou to send a bride price, and take the eldest daughter of the Qiao family back to Youzhou." ”

"Father, don't be in such a hurry, right?" Liu He said with a bitter face.

"How can you not be in a hurry! At the beginning, the Qiao family first agreed to marry you with the Mi family, if it weren't for the fact that Luzhou and Youzhou are thousands of miles apart, the states along the way have been in constant war in recent years, and the Qiao family would have sent their daughter to Jicheng a long time ago. ”

"At the beginning, the Qiao family was just intentional, but now that a few years have passed, who knows if people are willing to marry their daughters to Jicheng." Liu He said with some weakness.

"Don't worry about these things, now in Wu'er Weijiahai, there is no other woman in the world who can't marry!"

Liu He asked his father with some humility: "However, if I marry more women, will people think that I am unlucky?" ”

"What the hell is this?" Liu Yu blew his beard and glared at his son. "The Liu family is not prosperous, if you don't marry a few more women to enter the door, where will the heirs come from? Who will inherit such a large inheritance in the future? ”

Liu Yu is now happy with a big fat grandson, not only does he not feel satisfied, but he completely hooks his desire for a full house of children and grandchildren, and it seems that he will not stop until he has prepared all the three palaces and six courtyards for his son.

Liu He and his father chatted in the study for a long time, and it was not until after dark that they came out of the Taifu Mansion, but they turned around a visitor who was waiting in the Gongzi's Mansion.

The guest who came to visit Liu He was named Chen Rong and was a native of Guangling, Xuzhou. Chen Rong's reputation was not prominent in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, but this person was an out-and-out loyal and righteous man.

Chen Rong and Zang Hong, a famous man of the Three Kingdoms, are fellow villagers, because they admired Zang Hong, so they followed Zang Hong as the East County Cheng. Yuan Shao wanted to execute Zang Hong, who was against him, Chen Rong was also present at the time, he got up and said to Yuan Shao: "The general does great things, wants to sweep away the tyranny for the world, but kills the loyal and righteous people first without authorization, how can it be with the will of heaven!" Zang Hong rebelled for the county guard, why did he kill him? Yuan Shao's face was ashamed, and the people around him pulled him out and said: "You are not Zang Hong's accomplice, what are you doing to death for nothing!" Chen Rong turned around and said: "There is no fixed routine for realizing benevolence and righteousness, those who follow it are gentlemen, and those who violate it are villains." Today, I would rather die on the same day as Zang Hong than be born on the same day as the general. As a result, Chen Rong and Zang Hong were killed by Yuan Shao together.

Chen Rong risked his life to come from Yanzhou to see Liu He this time, because he wanted to ask Liu He for help on something important.

When Liu He returned to the mansion, he heard that Zang Hong had sent someone to ask for help, so he asked the guards to lead Chen Rong to his study.

"Guangling Chen Rong visited the eldest prince and congratulated the eldest prince on his noble son!" When Chen Rong saw Liu He, he was very respectful and did not have the slightest arrogance.

Liu He smiled and asked Chen Rong gently: "Didn't Mr. Chen take care of Zang Tai's account, why did he have time to come to Jicheng as a guest?" ”

Chen Rong got up and bowed to Liu He, and said a little anxiously: "Please also ask Gongzi to take action and save Zang Taishou's life!" ”

"Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry, please tell me in detail." Liu He comforted Chen Rong.

"Last year, Cao Cao led the army to attack Xuzhou, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao secretly submitted a letter to Lord Zang, invited to fight against Cao together, the result of the failure of the army, Zhang Miao fled from Chen Liu into Luoyang to be taken in by Lord Zheng Tai, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao was killed by Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan, my family wanted to go north to Taifu Lord, but when passing through Jizhou, Yuan Shao's soldiers were captured, and now Cao Cao wants Yuan Shao to return Lord Zang to Yanzhou, it seems that he is going to execute my family, and ask Gongzi to come forward to save Zang's life."

Chen Rong then carefully told Liu He about Zang Hong's secret rebellion against Cao Cao in Yanzhou with Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others.

After listening to Chen Rong, Liu He carefully recalled some of the things that happened last year, trying to combine the memory fragments in his mind with what is happening now.

Liu He asked, "Does Mr. Chen know how Zhang Miao fled from Chenliu to Luoyang?" ”

Chen Rong replied: "I heard that there is a warrior named Dian Wei in front of Lord Zhang's tent, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, and this time Lord Zhang was able to escape safely from Chen Liu, relying on the protection of this warrior." ”

"Dian Wei?" Liu He's heart moved, his face did not change, and he continued: "Mr. Chen should know that I am in the same boat as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and you came to me for help, did you find the wrong person?" ”

Chen Rong shook his head and said with a firm face: "If there is anyone in this world who can save Lord Zang, it is Gongzi!" With the prestige and power of Gongzi today, as long as you are willing to speak for my family, Yuan Shao will definitely not dare to return Lord Zang to Cao Cao. ”

"Oh, then you tell me what good I would do if I saved your family? I'm sure you know that even if I have this ability, if I rescue Lord Zang, I will have to pay a great price. ”

"Lord Zang admired Lord Taifu before the Sour Jujube Alliance, if it weren't for Lord Taifu's refusal to go south to the Alliance, Lord Zang and Zhang Taishou had planned to elect Lord Taifu as the leader of the alliance. Now that Lord Zang was captured by Yuan Shao in order to defect to Lord Taifu, if Gongzi can rescue Lord Zang, it will be to tell the world your attitude, and there will definitely be more scholars to come to serve in the future! In addition, as long as Master Zang is rescued, the team that Zhang Miao brought to Luoyang can also be used by adults. ”

What Chen Rong said was quite reasonable, and Liu He was also a little moved after hearing it, so he said: "Well, this matter is very important, and please let Mr. Chen let me think about it for a day, and tell you my decision tomorrow." (To be continued......)
