Hanzhong is on the official road to Shangyong.

The high-spirited horn sounded, the military flag fluttered, the two flags in the middle, and the four big characters on the right side - ordered to beg the thief.

On the left, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the Duke of Wei Cao Cao.

Cao Wei's soldiers were already lined up and in good spirits.

Cao Cao, who was already sixty years old, sat on top of the five-horse carriage, his eyes were like electricity, and his face was gloomy.

Xu Chu beside him was riding a horse, with a big and burly figure, and he looked like he could overwhelm the horse.

Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen respectively led the personal guards to escort them to the left and right.

It was clear that they were not in a good mood.

Oh, yes... In this Shuzhong, he suddenly stopped fighting, and changed his route to help Xiangfan, this boiled duck flew, who can be in a better mood?

Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Xu Huang, who stayed in Hanzhong, were all wearing armor, and they walked beside Cao Cao.

"Big brother walks slowly, this journey is far away, and the opponent is Guan Yu, so I can't be in a hurry."

It is hard to imagine that it was Xiahou Yuan, who was known for his marching speed of "five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days" who persuaded Cao Cao to slow down.

"Don't persuade me."

Cao Cao waved his hand lightly. "It's you, after your brother leaves, you have to be careful when stationed in Hanzhong, you have to be careful, you have to be careful when you look at Yangpingguan by the mountains and rivers, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is located at the intersection of the Hushui River and the Han River, the west and south sides are surrounded by rivers, and the back is surrounded by dangerous mountains, which can be described as the first Xiongguan in Hanzhong."

"Guard here, even if the big-eared thief is cunning, Zhuge Villager is full of scheming, and Hanzhong is safe! When Xiangfan is alone, I will come back to help you. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao did not forget to stretch out his arm and patted Xiahou Yuan's shoulder heavily.

Xiahou Yuan gave up. "Abide by what the prime minister said, and Yuan will guard Yangping Pass."

Xiahou Yuan made a statement, but Zhang He and Xu Huang seemed to be in a depressed mood, and the two glanced at each other, and they both let out a long sigh.

Their mood is the same as Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen, and they are not so happy.

After preparing for so long to go south, I have practiced mountain warfare, and now it is better to defend instead of attacking.

Isn't this letting the big-eared thief go big?

Nature...

Cao Cao had a full view of the mood of these lieutenants, and he raised his hand and repeated that sentence loudly.

"People are not satisfied, they have Long, and they look back at Shuye! The generals followed me to Jingxiang in the south, Jingxiang was broken, this Bashu was isolated, and the big-eared thief and Zhuge villager couldn't become the climate! ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao waved his hand, solemn and stirring military music sounded, and the army continued to move forward.

After a short time, the army disappeared on the official road, and Xiahou Yuan led the troops to leave.

Xu Huang rode his horse in front of Zhang He, he gave Zhang He a look, and the two of them walked to the side.

Xu Huang said with emotion: "General Zhang, you are really right. ”

Zhang He sighed "sigh", and was about to vent the depression in his chest.

Suddenly, someone called out to them from behind.

"General Xu, General Zhang..."

Xu Huang and Zhang He turned around, a familiar face, a tiger and leopard guard of Cao Cao.

The two were slightly surprised.

The tiger and leopard rider guard said: "On the orders of the prime minister, I will bring a message to the two of you, tonight... Outside Yangping Pass, the prime minister specially left something to give to the two generals, and asked the two generals to go alone! ”

Not...

After a few words, the atmosphere suddenly became mysterious.

Of course, Zhang He and Xu Huang did not doubt the identity of this tiger and leopard rider.

In fact, this is not the first time that this guard has summoned Cao Cao.

It's just that... This time.

Obviously, the prime minister had already left, and invited the two of them to go to Yangping Pass, and said that he would leave something behind.

What to leave behind?

"I don't know, what did the prime minister leave behind? Do you have to be late at night to see people? ”

"The two generals will know as soon as they go."

Xu Huang still wanted to ask, but the guard had already turned around and rode away, running away... It was Cao Cao's Tiger Army Legion.

For a while, Zhang He and Xu Huang looked at each other.

More and more mystery swept through the body.

Over there.

After walking away, Cao Cao waved his hand, and Xu Chu hurriedly drove his horse to Cao Cao's carriage.

Cao Cao asked, "Did you send someone to inform Gongming and Junyi?" ”

Xu Chu replied truthfully: "According to the prime minister's orders, they have all been informed." ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly, but asked again: "Miaocai, are the stoves ready?" ”

"It's all ready..."

Hearing Xu Chu's affirmative answer, Cao Cao turned his head and saw the thick smoke rising from the sky above Hanzhong City, and he finally showed a refreshing smile.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha! ”

He was in a good mood.

People say, Cao Cao smiled, life and death are unpredictable!

But I didn't know, this time... Who is life and death?

…

…

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.

When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rushed back, Fazheng, Li Yan, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others were already guarding the door.

As if they had also heard the news of Cao Cao's retreat.

Even with a few messengers, Liu Bei didn't arrive, and they didn't dare to read the latest "biography".

"Performance—"

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, Mi Zhu sat on the second seat on the left, Zhuge Liang sat next to Mi Zhu, Fa Zheng sat on Zhuge Liang's side, and then Li Yan, Sun Qian, Jian Yong...

Just looking at this seat, it is very particular.

And as Zhu Wenwu knelt on both sides, the messenger began to report.

"I received the flying pigeon two hours ago, and the Wei army is indeed withdrawing..."

"I received the flying pigeon an hour ago, and it can already be determined that Cao Cao is in the team withdrawing from the army, and Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen are all there..."

"Half an hour ago, I received the flying pigeons, and the number of soldiers and horses that the Wei army walked through Shangyong exceeded 100,000."

Hearing this, Liu Bei said to himself with mixed feelings: "Finally... God is not thin on the Han family, it is good to retreat, it is good to retreat. ”

Fang Cai was still in Zhuge Mansion, and he was still planning to read Guan Lin's third answer sheet.

But when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang heard that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the army, where could they calm down.

Hurriedly rushed back to General Zuo's mansion...

was going to summon Zhu Wenwu to discuss this matter, but he never thought that he had already stayed here one by one.

Huang Zhong proposed: "Lord, Cao Cao is not here, the Wei army does not dare to go south, this is a good opportunity, our army should go north to capture Hanzhong." ”

"It's not good..."Fa Zheng hurriedly reminded: "Hanzhong will be won sooner or later, but the time is not ripe now, and now the lord needs more time for development, and it is time to sit firmly in Yizhou." ”

"In the past three months, the people of Shuzhong have been panicking, whether it is the soldiers of the three armies, or the officials of the people, everyone can't sleep peacefully, everyone is under great pressure, at this time... It is time to let the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint unload their guards, take a big rest, let the officials, let the people breathe a sigh of relief, the so-called relaxation, when the Cao thief goes south, when the battle is prepared, when the Cao thief retreats, it should also ease a little. ”

When Fa Zheng said this, his hand seemed to inadvertently cover his chest and grabbed it slightly, but this action was very subtle and unnoticed.

It's as if his body... It's not easy to carry this pressure.

"I think so, too."

Liu Bei hurriedly spoke, and his words could not hide his praise for the proposal of the "good friend" Fa Zheng. "The soldiers of Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Lychee Road have been waiting for so many months, I'm afraid they can't hold back for a long time, don't say they, even if they are prepared, they are under pressure, and they can't sleep all night, and they are filial piety and say 'relaxation'... Indeed, let the soldiers, let the officials, let the people, and let myself... Take off your guard and take a break, haha..."

As he spoke, Liu Bei laughed lightly.

He smiled, and the whole court laughed.

It was a smile of relief under great pressure.

When the laughter falls, Liu Bei will order...

"Lord..."Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Lord, slack is no longer in the past two days, you need to know, Cao Cao is well versed in the art of war, the so-called soldiers are treacherous, today he just evacuated, in order to prevent fraud, you might as well observe for another day or two... If there is no movement of Cao's army in one or two days, then it is not too late to withdraw protection and relax, I believe the soldiers can understand. ”

I blurted out this... Liu Bei paused slightly, as if thinking slightly.

Immediately, the jaw head supports.

"Kong Ming's words are reasonable."

Liu Bei's attitude towards Zhuge Liang is completely different from Fazheng, and it is the kind of attitude of general respect for the master.

But whatever Zhuge Liang proposed, Liu Bei complied.

After that, after a while of discussing the details of Cao Cao's retreat, the morning council dispersed.

When the civil and military officers walked out of General Zuo's mansion, the entire street was full of joy...

"Cao Cao retreated, Cao Cao retreated—"

"Shuzhong has been saved, Shuzhong has been saved—"

"Finally, I don't have to... Fight again. ”

"So... If there is no war, will the price of goods be reduced a little? ”

There were people, soldiers, and many officials, large and small, and some people shouted from the bottom of their hearts...

Others are looking forward to price stability.

The people of Chengdu... They are too eager to be stable, and they are really not keen on the struggle within the nation.

And these sentences came to Fazheng's ears.

Hearing this, he also let out a long breath.

The pressure on Fa-rectification is greater than everybody's...

Liu Bei was introduced into Shuzhong by him, and he must not accept Cao Cao's recapture of everything he had so hard to get.

Exactly, at this point in time.

No matter how he fights, Liu Bei will not be Cao Cao's opponent!

During this time, Fa Zheng was under tremendous psychological pressure.

There were even two times when he fainted directly while dealing with military affairs, but fortunately, the adjutant found out about the urgency and rescued him.

After asking the doctor to see it, he only said that he was under too much psychological pressure.

Fa Zheng also specially told Liu Bei not to tell him about his fainting, so as not to worry about this "good friend".

In fact, what kind of illness he was and how his father died, Fa Zheng couldn't be more clear.

Can...

How many good friends can you find in this life, and how many times can you fight side by side with good friends?

For the sake of good friends, he must use this "remnant" body and will to persevere.

"--The next thing is the problem in Shuzhong!"

"—There's Kong Ming, these... None of that is a problem.'

I don't know if it's too excited, or whatever.

Fa Zheng suddenly felt that his heart was beating faster...

He hurriedly looked left and right, and found that no one noticed him, so he quickly trotted into the carriage and told the groom, "Go back to the house first... Hurry, be quick, too... Invite Dr. Li to come, too! ”

Fa Zheng was always reluctant to tell Liu Bei the truth about his condition, let alone tell Liu Bei how his father died.

Fa Zheng was worried that once he told Liu Bei about his condition, Liu Bei would no longer dare to delegate him too many and too difficult things out of the protection of his body.

In that case, how can he help this good friend?

How else can he help Ji Youke to recover the Central Plains?

- "Xuande, Xuande!"

In this compartment, Fa Zheng sighed faintly in the carriage.

Over there, the council dispersed, and Zhuge Liang was about to leave the table, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Kong Ming hasn't told me yet, what is the answer to the third exam question, Yunqi?"

In the first two exam questions, Yun Qi answered so incisively, it is precisely because of this that Liu Bei is eager to penetrate the third question.

It's just that Zhuge Liang showed a hint of embarrassment, "Does the lord really want to see it?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically, "Isn't it good not to answer the first two questions of Yunqi?" One solves the imminent problem in Shuzhong, and the other solves the problem of the emptiness of the treasury in Shuzhong... This son's case file is not earth-shattering, but it can also be called 'weeping ghosts and gods'? How did Kong Ming hesitate in this third question? Is it after the change of cloud flags? ”

Between the words, Liu Beitian had a few doubts.

is more curious about Guan Lin's answer.

"It's not bad, alas..."Zhuge Liang sighed, he looked around the main hall of General Zuo's mansion, and everyone had dispersed... Only he and Liu Bei were left.

Zhuge Liang took out the third answer sheet from his arms, and he slowly unfolded...

Liu Bei saw that there were a lot of words densely packed on it.

I still muttered in my heart, the first two questions Yunqi is like gold, this third answer sheet is related to the distribution of acres of meritorious ministers after entering Shu, and Yunqi is gushing? So many words were written.

But at this time.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the first column of words and presented the exam paper to Liu Bei: "Lord, look..."

It seems that you are not at ease, Zhuge Liang added.

- "Don't be too surprised, my lord! ”

Liu Bei suddenly saw the first column.

Spread into the acre!

- "Spread into acres? What is a lot of money?'

Liu Bei was upright and puzzled.

But the small characters after being spread into the mu frightened Liu Bei all of a sudden.

He groaned in astonishment—"Waste... Abolish the poll tax and repeal... Change to collect land tax and apportionment into acres? Spread out... Spread into acres? ”

This...

Liu Bei seemed to suddenly realize the deep meaning of this sentence.

His eyes widened in an instant.

- "Cloud Banner... Yun Qi is not only extending his hand to the merchants, but also to the clan!"

The text in the second column had already poured into Liu Bei's eyes.

——Breed people, never add endowment!

- Never give!

"Boom".

Liu Bei subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he felt his knees sore.

At that moment, there was a burst of exclamation in his heart.

"-Second brother, second brother, your son really dares to write!"

…

…

Changsha County, the sun is sprinkled on the nine ridges, and the eaves are majestic in front of the Changsha County Office.

For some reason, there are many people gathered here today, in groups of three or five.

There were even many people gathered around the Dengwen drum, looking at the Dengwen drum with extremely sharp eyes.

Just like before the Battle of Hefei...

Fueled by the efforts of Soochow, it only took a few days to spread the "Hefei Gambling Contract" to the entire Jingzhou and the entire Dongwu people.

It's the same this time.

Rumors are very loud and spread throughout Jingzhou and Dongwu.

What" Guan Sigongzi is extremely domineering and oppresses the good, and Zhongjing Divine Doctor is dying and powerless to resist; ”

What "Shuangshuang disciples were taken away, and the righteous girl beat the drum angrily, and there was no way to complain! ”

What "Guan Erye has no way to teach his son, and the fourth son is rampant!" ”

Fueled by such rumors...

Under the organization of people with hearts, more and more people poured into the front of the Changsha County Government Office, staring at this Dengwen drum with a pair of eyes.

They all know...

It is not one person who will beat the drums later, but a group of people, a group of people in the apricot forest.

This time, the people in the apricot forest are surprisingly united.

There were some people in the crowd who came from afar to support Dr. Zhongjing.

Because "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" has a great influence, Zhang Zhongjing is quite famous as a benevolent and virtuous doctor, not to mention that Zhang Zhongjing has also been a Changsha Taishou?

The old lady was bullied like this.

Just ask you, whether this new Changsha County is in charge or not?

If you don't care, then these people will go directly north to Jiangling and meet Guan Gong.

Go and bang the drums in front of the gate.

They have to ask Guan Yu, this godson's crime of no way, do you remember it or not!

And because of the impetus of Soochow, the impact of this incident has not only been limited to the "Apricot Forest", and even many Taoists have also rushed to make decisions for Zhang Zhongjing!

At this moment, there is already a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"—Heaven is angry, heaven is angry..."

"——This Guan Lin is so unscrupulous because his father is Guan Erye, there is no royal law."

"——Today, we and other Taoist people are bound to seek justice for Old Man Zhang, and we are bound to rescue Old Man Zhang's disciples, this Dengwen drum, no one knocks on it, I will knock it!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, "Doctor Zhongjing has recovered most of the time, and I heard that he was saved by the medical book written by Guan Sigongzi..."

I just blurted out this.

In an instant, countless people criticized him: "This person must have been sent by the 'rebel'!" ”

"Heaven is clear, you have disregarded the truth in vain, become the evil minions, bewitch me, etc... Beat... Beat this wicked boy out! ”

"Will anyone speak up for this evil?"

Tons...

A dry person, together with the people who eat melons, is a burst of punches and kicks to those who "tell the truth".

The man did not dare to speak any more, and fled with a crawl.

- Lies are like this, and under public opinion, they can easily cover up the truth.

And when lies become the norm, the truth becomes a sin, a beating!

Zhuge Jin was also in the crowd, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The situation is good.

There is also a tendency for things to get bigger and bigger.

At this moment, Changsha in the government office is too shou Liao Li, and he is also the first two big.

Facts have proved that this talent, who was rated as "Chu Zhiliangcai" by Zhuge Liang and is on a par with Pang Tong, is far from being worthy of such a "title".

He felt like he was going crazy... He couldn't handle it at all.

Because the West Prison was taken over by Guan Lin.

Now he didn't know that Guan Lin had released Zhang Zhongjing's two disciples last night.

He had no way of knowing Zhang Zhongjing's current condition.

And he had to face... The entire apricot forest, the entire people, and even the condemnation of the people in the Taoist sect who have a "strong sense of justice".

With the sound of the guards, he didn't dare to open the door of the official office at all.

He is determined to be a turtle with a shrunken head today.

No matter who beats the drum, even if the drums are smashed, he will never open the door.

It's just that...

Haven't waited for the "rumble" of the drums.

The first sound came "Woo woo woo woo!"

- It's suona!

This musical instrument, which was introduced to the Han Dynasty through the Silk Road, has not yet been around for a hundred years, but its power has already begun to appear.

In front of it, what pipa, what guqin, what flute... Even if you go to Hong Zhong Dalu, no matter what sound you have, as long as the suona blows, you have to cover it!

It is no exaggeration to say that this suona... It can simply blow from a person's "birth" to a person's "first seven"

As the saying goes, the world's musical instruments, suona is the king, either ascending to heaven or worshipping the church.

At this moment, dozens of Taoists blew together, whimpering suona... Suddenly, even the noisy voice outside the government office lost its color.

And as the voice fell, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe slowly walked out.

He carries a sword and a talisman... He looked like a master outside the world, and when the people in the main road saw him, they saluted in unison without exception.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Master Ge, it turned out to be - Master Ge!"

"Master Ge is also here to seek justice for Doctor Zhang?"

"With Master Ge here, the 'evil youth' is bound to be punished!"

The "Master Ge" in the mouth of the crowd is none other than that!

It was the famous magician in Jingnan and Eastern Wu - Ge Xuan.

The people in the Taoist sect call it "Ge Xian Gong", also known as "Tai Chi Zuo Xian Gong".

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a patriarch-level figure of the Taoist Lingbao School.

And his master is also famous in Soochow and Jingnan, known as Mr. Wujiao - Zuo Ci, Zuo Xianweng.

Of course, with many Taoist stories about Ge Xuan and Zuo Ci finally "soaring into immortals"... Can spell, it's an immortal!

It's all a lie!

Ge Xuan and Zuo Ci are both ordinary people, but they are better at "blinding" and "pharmacy"... It can use the so-called "blind method" to create the effect of "fairy method".

Because of this, they are well-known among the people.

Of course, it doesn't matter ...

The important thing is that Ge Xuan is here, with his fame, as long as he stops in front of this Dengwen drum...

This thing... It's not going to be a simple end!

This must be a big fuss.

At this time, when he saw Ge Xuan, Zhuge Jin in the dark let out a long breath of turbidity.

Secret Thoughts:

"-I never thought that he was here!"

"-yes, yes!"

"-Guan Gong, Guan Gong, this time I, Zhuge Ziyu, should be able to win back a city!"

…
