Chapter 592: Pick It Up (Big Chapter)
Most of the elite navy, who had no mission for the time being, returned to Jinling in winter.
For this navy that returned from a long voyage and then defeated the Wei State, affected the hearts of countless people in the Chu State, and now finally triumphed, the people of Jinling repaid great admiration.
Not only when he returned, Jinling Port was full of representatives from all walks of life and ordinary people who greeted the Navy's triumph, but Bai Tu also personally went to the Navy Water Village after the New Year's Festival to offer condolences, and promised everyone that the voyage plan would be restarted within a year, and their "comrades-in-arms" would be brought back at that time.
Because Gan Ning has returned, there is no need for Chu to hide the news anymore, but it just glorifies the difficulties encountered by the navy.
In this way, the people of Chu are also very active and want to welcome back other "heroes".
Of course, when you go to the Golden State, you only need one part of the experienced elite and the other part of the navy.
After all, this belongs to fighting with nature, not the more people, the better, due to the current war situation, the Chu State will also retain as much combat power as possible!
Gan Ning also fell into boredom because of this, and because Gan Ning returned to Jinling again and was still very close to his goddaughter, he was very unhappy with Xiahou Yuan!
After discovering that his goddaughter's ship model was "confiscated", Gan Ning pretended not to care, and sent several models, as well as toy soldiers to Bai Ningning, so angry that Xiahou Yuan blew his beard and glared......
"It's worthy of being my goddaughter! When he grows up, he must be a fierce admiral in the navy again! Hahaha. Gan Ning looked proudly at her daughter, who had been playing with battleship models at a young age.
It is true that Bai Ningning, who has just been able to speak, is very interested in fleet toys, but Bai Ningning is not interested in the rag dolls that girls prefer in Jinling......
Xiahou Juan didn't refute Gan Ning's kindness, but he also complained to Bai Tu, so Bai Tu was also present today.
"Ning Ning, look at what Daddy has prepared for you? Ahem...... I'm calling my daughter. Bai Tu called out first.
Gan Ning glanced over when he heard this, with a look of "Are you deliberately taking advantage of me?"
I saw that what Bai Tu was holding in his hand was ...... Customized Xiahou Yuan wooden figure!
The reason why it is a customized version is because the popular ones in Chu are basically their own generals, even if they are some unknown gilded generals, they will be popular because the armor just touches the "cute point" of some people, but ...... Exotic generals are obviously not issued in large quantities, and it would be nice not to be specifically ugly!
However, in order to take care of Xiahou Yuan's glass heart, Bai Tu specially customized this one.
Ning Ning is obviously at the age of three and four, and when she saw that this figure was very powerful, she immediately liked it, and Gan Ning on the side also pouted.
In fact, Gan Ning's golden jade battle armor, although it is not the most popular "heroic form" because it is too fancy, and among the more than 30 golden and jade generals in the Chu State, even if Gan Ning has the idol bonus of being the governor of the navy, he can only barely rank in the top ten, but ...... God's Gan Ning's figure can definitely be ranked in the top five!
After all, there are only five gods in the Chu State, among which Sun Ce's figure is ...... Wings are easy to break, so they are the least popular.
Before it was exposed, Gan Ning did not take the initiative to publicize it out of consideration of the overall situation, but now that it has been exposed, when Gan Ning first returned to Chu State, he specially found the "Shenjiang Factory" and entered the information of the Shenwei model......
For Gan Ning, those sales shares are not worth mentioning, but when this kind of face-showing is superior, how can it be less?
Naturally, the so-called "Divine General Factory" is also Baitu's private property, of course, it is also specially authorized by the generals in theory, and it is not directly with the power of the King of Chu...... Besides, who else can get the authorization of so many generals?
"In a few days, the godfather's figure will be released, and I will give you a limited first edition!" Gan Ning said very generously.
Bai Tu thought that the problem had been solved, at least playing with figures was better than playing with models - saving Xiahou Yuan's heart and saving him from piercing his heart!
However, two days later, when Bai Tu took advantage of Xiahou Yuan's absence and came to look for Xiahou Juan, he found that Ning Ning was making trouble again, which sounded ...... Xiahou Juan confiscated the figure as well?
"What's wrong? The figure is also heart-piercing...... Ahem, did the figure also offend Uncle Xiahou? In front of Xiahou Juan, Bai Tu still called Uncle Xiahou very politely, but in fact, he didn't really call Xiahou Yuan that.
Especially now, it is basically necessary to "hide" Xiahou Yuan to go, so as not to be embarrassed.
"Can you tell us about Ganning? What did he teach Ning Ning? Xiahou Juan said dissatisfiedly.
"You won't teach Ning Ning to make up, will you?" Bai Tu also became nervous when he heard this.
"Woo woo, daddy, Ning Ning wants to play the war general!" Ning Ning said crying.
"What war?" Bai Tu didn't understand much.
When Xiahou Juan heard this, he simply took out the toys that had been confiscated before, only to see ...... Bai Ningning picked up the "Xiahou Yuan" in one hand and the "Explorer" in the other, and Duang, Duang, and Duang collided!
The mouth also imitated "Ah! Call! Biu、Biu、Biu! Boom! Voices like that.
Xiahou Juan also said helplessly: "Uncle didn't vote for Chu after all, and I also know that for the sake of my uncle, it's not good to 'slander' General Gan behind my back, but I can't teach Ning Ning like this!" Today, my uncle wanted to have lunch together, but after seeing Ning Ning's 'game', he almost cried! ”
"Ahem, I'll talk to him when I get back." Bai Tu awkwardly agreed.
Bai Tu thought about it, and then asked Xiahou Juan, "You can also help me pay attention to it...... About Xingba's marriage! Xingba has also been established for a long time, and it was delayed because of the navy before, and it is estimated that he is particularly fond of his 'daughter' because of this. ”
That's right, Bai Tu suspected that Gan Ning was deliberately "competing for favor" with Xiahou Yuan.
In addition, speaking of Gan Ning's words, there is another "enemy" who has not had a very good relationship with him recently and is going back to Jinling, that is, Hua Xin, who should now serve in the Han Dynasty!
Originally, Hua Xin entered the court in order to return the jade seal to the "Chu State", which was still the general's mansion at that time, and also to stay in the Xudu Imperial Court at that time and open his eyes for the "Chu State......
Later, when the Xudu Incident and the imperial court moved westward, Hua Xin decisively judged that moving away with the imperial court would be of greater help to the "Chu State", so he also accompanied him as a courtier.
When he was in the Chang'an court, Hua Xin has always been regarded as the spokesperson of the "Chu State", and at the beginning, Liu Xie was still persuaded by Liu Ai and others to completely convince Hua Xin, but Hua Xin did not accept it at all.
Of course, because Hua Xin is still Han Chen in name, and he also has the great merit of dedicating the seal against the sky, the Han family did not treat him badly on the bright side, and even wanted to help him continue in Chang'an for a while......
It is also the existence of Hua Xin that makes there really a group of supporters of Chu Xue in the Chang'an court - some are hidden, and some are ...... Nominally, he "only supports Chu Xue, does not support Chu State, and still supports the Han Dynasty".
It can be said that Hua Xin continued to play the role of half of Cao Pi in Chang'an and even in Guanzhong, but there was no Cao Pi's mocking and slapping effect, and the effect was the same in wooing the Guan Sergeant clan!
Now that the war in the Chu State is resuming, and even the Han family may be at war at any time, naturally Bai Tu is also preparing to take Hua Xin back.
Even in order to be safe, Bai Tu had directly ordered the wind catchers lurking in Chang'an, taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, to organize and assist Hua Xin to evacuate secretly!
In fact, Hua Xin's resignation is bright, and the Han family may not be detained - after all, Hua Xin's prestige is here, and there are many protégés in Chang'an.
The most important thing is that although Hua Xin is the "key figure" of the Chu State, he is not the "key" on the battlefield!
The detention of Hua Xin will not have any negative impact on the combat effectiveness of the Chu State......
After all, Hua Xin is not a high-ranking general of the Chu State, and his prestige in the Chu State is not so high that "without him, it will be confusing", but if Hua Xin is detained, it will make the soldiers and people of the Chu State even more angry!
However, this is only a theoretical analysis after all, and Bai Tu does not think that the Liu Association is very rational.
What's more, there is no need to "detain", even if Hua Xin says that he wants to sue the old man, Liu Xie can save (ruan) and keep (jin), and if it develops to this point, it will be even more difficult to take Hua Xin out!
Therefore, Bai Tu ignored Hua Xin's own opinion and resolutely notified the Chasing Wind Guard to bring people directly.
After all, if Hua Xin decided by himself, he would definitely make a bet - if Liu Xie pinched his nose and approved him to return to Chu State, it would be considered a success, if he didn't approve it...... The state of Chu can also be very promising in public opinion.
First, Hua Xin is not too worried about his safety, even if Liu Xie is guilty, there will not be a sober one from top to bottom, not to mention that now in the DPRK, there are no supporters of Chu Xue?
As for the point where the soldiers are really coming to the city...... After all, it is a matter of the future, Hua Xin's normal birth, old age, sickness and death, and whether he can live until that time is not certain.
Second, Hua Xin is also a lot old, whether it is from the perspective of shadowing his descendants or from the perspective of dedication to the Chu State, he hopes to be able to "perfectly" complete the mission.
Otherwise, if he suddenly "disappeared", wouldn't he give the Han court an opportunity to morally blame?
However, Bai Tu obviously didn't think so, he had dedicated so many old ministers to the Chu State, and if he didn't have the opportunity to take it back for retirement, it would be really imperfect.
Soon, Bai Tu will also be "pleased" with his own judgment, because this year's New Year's Festival in Chang'an really had an accident!
Although it was not aimed at Hua Xin, if it wasn't for the fact that the Wind Catcher had already prepared and took Hua Xin out of the city, he wouldn't have been implicated......
Liu Bei, who was originally "caught off guard" because of Longyou's affairs, finally chose to go to Chang'an to explain to Liu Xie.
Coupled with the persuasion of Liu Ai and others, Liu Xie did not immediately declare Qi Hou a "rebel".
Of course, Liu Bei is obviously not the kind of "fake Dao Blockade" and waiting for an opportunity to seize power in Beijing as Jia Xu assumed, otherwise he should have sent troops before the news of Longyou came out.
And in order to show his openness, Liu Bei only brought a few hundred personal soldiers, and did not enter the city, otherwise Liu Xie would not let him enter Beijing.
However, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an City was in chaos......
