The third volume of the gentleman is dry all day long

Preface:

The hexagram says: "Ninety-three, the gentleman works all day long, and he is not to blame", which means: the gentleman must not only strive for self-improvement all day long, but also be diligent and cautious; And we must be vigilant all day long, as if there is a danger, so that we can avoid disasters and develop smoothly.

Liu Hou finally grew into a teenager and began to walk on the bloody battlefield. Liu Hou was busy on various battlefields at this stage, very busy and worried, but he was also well tempered.

The first chapter shocked the public crisis

In the blink of an eye, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Liu Hou finally reached the age of 12, 14 years old, Liu Hou, who has excellent genes, and has always attached importance to exercise and nutrition, his height has grown to 6 feet 9 inches (about 158cm).

The average height of the people in Shu is slightly shorter than that of the people in the Central Plains, and there was a war in this era, and many people were malnourished when they were young, so the average height was not high. 12-year-old Liu Houruo is not short if he stands in a group of adults in Shudi.

Many major events occurred in this year, such as Cao Cao's defeat and withdrawal from Hanzhong; For example, after Liu Bei got Hanzhong, the ministers persuaded him to be the emperor, but he resolutely refused, and finally became the king of Hanzhong in half a push.

So, in July of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei built an altar in a radius of nine miles in Weiyang, preparing to ascend to the throne as the king of Hanzhong.

On this day, flags and honor guards were planted everywhere, and there was a joyful appearance. The civil and military officials were arranged in two columns, and Xu Jing and Fa Zheng invited Liu Bei and Liu Xuande to ascend the altar, received the crown and seal, and sat facing south, and the civil and military officials knelt down to congratulate Liu Bei as the king of Hanzhong.

As a result, Liu Chan was naturally established as the prince of the king; Xu Jing was named Taifu, Fa Zheng was Shang Shuling, Zhuge Liang was a military advisor, and the prime minister was a major military event; Feng Guanyu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were the generals of the Five Tigers, and Wei Yan was the Taishou of Hanzhong. The rest of the officials all have their own rewards, so I won't say them all here.

As for why Cao Cao was so angry because he heard that Liu Bei said that the queen was the queen, and how he sent people to Dongwu to prepare to contact Dongwu to jointly plot Jingzhou, he also skipped here.

Speaking of Liu Hou alone, after traveling long distances to attend Liu Bei's coronation ceremony in July, he returned to the "Ministry of Industry" on the outskirts of Chengdu to start a dull and busy life.

While complaining that Liu Bei wasted so much of his precious time on this kind of meaningless ceremony, he secretly scolded him for not "accumulating grain and slowly becoming king", while burying his head in continuing to sort out war preparations, developing science and technology, and occasionally fighting with Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Guan Yinping, and a few boys or tomboys of the same age to learn martial arts, and living a happy life.

These people also worship Zhao Yun as a teacher, they are of similar age, and Liu Hou's martial arts level is about the same, but Liu Housheng has the soul of an adult, and his mind is much more active, and correspondingly, the moves are more flexible and become more, so they can often take advantage of the martial arts, and the two boys of Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are all over the yard.

As for the fight with Guan Yinhua, it was a completely different scene, the two of them fought softly, eyebrows, and affection. It is quite the essence of "Lang Qing Concubine Yi Fist" and "Adulterer and Adulteress Sword".

And Zhang Xingcai, who was originally the most fond of martial arts, was successfully distorted by Liu Hou and stifled his nature, and now he follows Zuo Ci to do all kinds of research all day long. Although I also come out from time to time to do a routine to exercise my body, but every time I come and go in a hurry, and my mind is on learning Zuo Ci's "immortal method".

On this day, Liu Houzheng and Ma Jun discussed the technical issues of belt drive, and suddenly heard that Hua Tuo asked to see him. It turned out that Hua Tuo came to say goodbye, and the reason was that Guan Gong was wounded by an arrow, and the arrow was poisonous, and the wound of the famous doctor could not heal, so he sent someone to invite Hua Tuo, the first saint of surgery.

When Liu Hou heard this, Ji Lingling shivered, and he immediately remembered an allusion: "scraping bones to cure poison"! (Although I think everyone on the earth should know this story, but last time a reader actually asked me who Adou was, well, I'll briefly explain this allusion, if you know this allusion, please skip it directly, and if there is a similar situation in the future, please deal with it the same.) ）

It is said that Guan Yu was hit by Cao Jun's poisonous arrow, and he couldn't cure it by asking famous doctors, and later Hua Tuo came over to help him treat. Guan Yu stretched out his arm while drinking and playing chess, and asked Hua Tuo to cut open and scrape the bones to cure the poison. With such unbearable pain and such a bloody scene, Guan Yu was able to talk and laugh freely.

The story of scraping bones and curing poison in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a well-known and popular story, and "scraping bones to cure poison" is also used as a metaphor for strong-willed people in later generations. Of course, the authenticity of this story is difficult to investigate, and even if it is true, the doctor cannot be Hua Tuo, because in real history, Hua Tuo was already dead at this time.

To Liu Hou's astonishment, the story of "scraping bones to cure poison" happened during Guan Gong's northward attack on Cao Cao's Xiangfan region. At this time, it was not far from Guan Gong's defeat of Maicheng and Lü Meng's conspiracy to seize Jingzhou.

What's going on? I had arranged so many intelligence channels before, but I couldn't even receive the news of Guan Gong's dispatch of troops in time. Pressed for time! Liu Hou stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Someone! (It seems that when I watch costume dramas, I always feel that this sentence is very ...... Why do people always jump out every time they shout this. ）

Sure enough, someone immediately appeared in front of Liu Hou and listened to his orders. Liu Hou first sent Hua Tuo away, instructed him to hurry over to treat Guan Gong, and asked him to bring a message to Guan Gong, asking him not to be anxious, and he would personally lead troops to help him hold Jingzhou, and let him wait for reinforcements.

Hua Tuo was baffled by what he was going to say, Jingzhou? Jingzhou is fine now, what happened? No one expected that Jingzhou would be lost, even a wise man like Zhuge Liang couldn't see that Dongwu was eyeing Jingzhou and was determined to win, so that he took Jingzhou lightly, and finally crossed the river by Lu Meng in white clothes and easily sought Jingzhou.

But understanding must be implemented, and if you don't understand, you must also execute, what the prince commanded, Hua Tuo still kept it firmly in mind and implemented it meticulously.

After sending Hua Tuo away, Liu Houcai explained the matter to the subordinates who jumped out. Time is pressing, there are a lot of things to do, Liu Hou asked his subordinates to summon all the leaders of the "Ministry of Industry" to the conference room, that is, the "Juyi Hall" meeting, Liu Hou has to arrange tasks.

After a short time, the heads of all departments arrived, and Liu Hou held an emergency mobilization meeting and began to arrange the tasks of various departments. There are three main tasks assigned by Liu Hou:

1. Investigate why the information channels arranged before, and the news of Guan Yu's dispatch of troops did not come in time, and it was not until Hua Tuo came to say goodbye to him that such a big thing happened.

2. All the personnel and logistics personnel of the army canceled their vacations, ended their training, and immediately reorganized themselves and prepared to set off to rescue Guan Gong and Jingzhou.

3. The logistics department will make every effort to do a good job in the support of the big battle.

In fact, there is a fourth thing, but that has to be done by Liu Hou himself. Whether it is Liu Hou's identity as the son of the family or the more than 5,000 horses of the "Hong Army", it is not for Liu Hou to leave Chengdu and go to Jingzhou, and Liu Bei must agree to such a big matter. After all, Liu Bei is the lord, equivalent to the emperor of Shu, and without Liu Bei's order, they can't go there.

Liu Hou quickly arranged the various matters of departure, because Liu Hou and Zuo Ci had already revealed their plans to go to Jingzhou for military training a long time ago, so the heads of the various departments did not feel very surprised by this dispatch, but they felt that the incident was too sudden and a little hasty, and the time for preparation may not be enough. Fortunately, Liu Hou has been preparing for war in the past few years, and the materials in reserve are very sufficient, so he was caught off guard, and the heads of various departments were able to cope with the past, and there was no chaos.

After the meeting, Liu Hou rushed to Chengdu in his luxury carriage and asked Liu Bei to apply for troops.

Liu Hou said to Liu Bei that he wanted to pull the team to Jingzhou for a long-distance combat exercise, but of course Liu Bei refused to accept 10,000 of them. First, because Liu Hou is the son of the world, he is currently his only heir, if he really has something to do, and he has worked hard for half his life, will he pass on to Liu Feng's fake son?

Second, 5,000 men and horses are not less, the army is dispatched, spending countless amounts of grain, gold and silver, and now he is fighting everywhere, fighting with Cao Wei, you need money everywhere, you need food and grass everywhere, even if you want to train soldiers, just play around Chengdu, why do you run so far if you have nothing to do? At this time, they still come to waste food and grass, isn't this adding to the chaos?

Third, the land of Jingzhou is now in a state of war, the situation is tense, you are a little kid in the past, don't help when the time comes, but help will be miserable.

With these thoughts, no matter what Liu Hou said or not, Liu Bei just didn't allow Liu Hou to go to Jingzhou. In the end, Liu Hou couldn't, so he could only use the last killer move.

So, Liu Hou said to Liu Bei that in fact, he was not going to train troops this time, but had other purposes. He said that Master Zuo recently observed the sky at night and found that there would be drastic changes in the Jingzhou area, and the stars were about to fall. After careful consideration, Master Zuo believed that Second Uncle Guan would be in danger of his life, and Jingzhou would also be lost. Moreover, Master Zuo also calculated that someone with true dragon blood must solve this crisis.

Liu Hou's implicit meaning is that either Liu Bei will go, or Liu Hou will go, anyway, one of the two fathers and sons must go to rescue Jingzhou and Guan Gong in order to ensure that Jingzhou is not lost.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou in person, after all, the border situation is still very tense, and the government affairs in various places are also busy.

When Liu Bei heard this, it was calculated by Zuo Ci, the number one crow-beaked in the world, and immediately paid attention to it. This black mouth has said that it has been proven many times, whether you believe in ghosts and gods or not, such a heavy thing, it is better to believe it or not.

So Liu Bei immediately called the super advisor Zhuge Liang to ask for his opinion. Zhuge Liang frowned and said, he has also been stargazing recently, and the Jingzhou direction will only be a little dim, and there is no sign of depravity.

Liu Hou immediately refuted him, saying that his stargazing technique belongs to the category of human magic, and he observes the present thing, while Master Zuo has a special method and has transcended the law of the world, so he can observe the image of the future, which is the difference between the art of the world and the immortal art. Saying this, Liu Hou also secretly became uneasy, he spread feudal superstition again and again, is it right or not, just don't lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes.

Because Zuo Ci is too famous in the god stick world, and all kinds of miraculous things that have been done in the "Ministry of Industry" in recent years, they are not at all like what should be in the world, which makes people repeatedly sigh that Zuo Ci is a "celestial man". So, Zhuge Liang didn't dare to despise him. Therefore, he also agreed in principle with Liu Hou to send troops, but he was worried that Liu Hou was too young to cope with the complicated situation, and the grain and grass were also very tight recently, and he expressed his concern that the grain and grass would not continue.

So Liu Hou said that he had Zhao Yun with him, and there should be no problem in leading the army to fight, and at the same time proposed that he wanted Liu Bei to send Pang Tong to assist him in order to increase his chances of victory. As for grain and grass, Liu Hou has been hoarding grain and grass in recent years to prepare for this big war, so he doesn't bother with the military division.

With the approval of the super advisor Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei also agreed to Liu Hou's troops, but strictly ordered him to only defend in Jingzhou, and not to venture into other people's cities to attack other people's cities, so as not to have an accident as the heir of the baby pimple.

Liu Hou naturally agreed, but he didn't think so, thinking of the famous sentence that would not be affected by the life of the monarch outside.

As for Pang Tong, Liu Bei still did not send it to Liu Hou, because Pang Tong has been working as a staff officer on the front line, and now although Cao Cao has withdrawn from Hanzhong, the two armies are still facing each other, and a new war may break out at any time, so the role of Pang Tong's super military division on the front line is extremely important and cannot be drawn out at once.

Liu Hou also expected this result, so he had to give up, and now he can let Liu Bei promise to send troops to thank God, time is pressing, he doesn't have much to say, and after getting the token tiger charm, he hurried back to the "Ministry of Industry". Liu Bei saw Liu Hou's thin back in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh that his son had grown up.
