Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 232 Liu Chan reappears in Zhao Liefeng, Liu Bei throws a cup and scolds Sun Quan (seeking pursuit)

The shock on Liu Chan's face disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.

Liu Bei rarely calls Prince Liu Chan, and usually uses the nickname "Adou".

If you call him "Adou", then this military experience may be just a joke of Liu Bei, and it will not make much difference whether Liu Chan goes or not.

It can be called "Prince", so Liu Chan's answer must be cautious.

Liu Chan's thoughts became complicated and he gradually fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei didn't urge him, he just looked at Liu Chan quietly and waited for Liu Chan's answer.

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Xu Jing, Li Yan, Liu Feng and other civil and military officials also looked at Liu Chan quietly.

The prince, the most important weapon of the country, the future emperor.

In troubled times, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

Liu Chan's answer will also affect the future conduct of civil and military officials.

Just like Zhuge Liang in history.

The reason why Zhuge Liang chose to centralize power in the Prime Minister's Office in the early stage was not because he wanted to usurp power and deceive the emperor, but because Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Chan's prestige and ability at the time were not enough to suppress the civil and military forces in the court.

Only by centralizing power in the Prime Minister's Office could Zhuge Liang help Liu Chan stabilize the situation.

By the time of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang believed that the situation in the court had stabilized, and those who were jumping around based on their own merits had been dealt with. Liu Chan could handle the rest, so he returned most of the power to Liu Chan.

Worried that Liu Chan would not be able to establish his authority as a monarch when he took charge personally, he painstakingly wrote the 700-word "Execution Guide", just like the old mother's instructions before leaving for a long journey.

Today, Liu Chan, because of Zhuge Qiao's existence, is not only a fellow civil and military practitioner, but also served as the prison prince for half a year because of Liu Bei's expedition to Guanzhong.

Although supervising the country is inseparable from the help of the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China, it can also allow Liu Chan to gain insights far beyond those of his peers.

Liu Bei's question this time was not only asking about Liu Chan's choice, but also assessing Liu Chan's six months of supervision.

Liu Chan thought a lot.

Mrs. Gan Mi died young, and Liu Bei went on war expeditions all year round. Liu Chan's childhood was similar to that of most left-behind children.

Not only does he lack the love of his parents, he also dares to hide it in his heart when he feels wronged.

Although Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others cared about him in Jingzhou, they still inevitably developed an inferiority complex and became introverted and sensitive.

After entering Sichuan, I thought I could stay with Liu Bei for a while.

But he never thought that Liu Bei would go to conquer Hanzhong again.

Liu Chan could only accept the teachings of Xu Jing and others step by step, learn etiquette, learn Confucianism, and learn how to be Liu Bei's successor.

Life is very boring, and there are very few friends who can tell the truth.

He looks like a very well-behaved young man, but he is actually very lonely inside.

It was not until the arrival of Zhuge Qiao that Liu Chan's fate changed.

Zhuge Qiao was also a left-behind child in his previous life. After going through many hardships and setbacks, he finally became mature and wise.

Therefore, Zhuge Qiao saw through Liu Chan's heart at the first sight.

Therefore.

When others only dared to persuade Liu Chan to study hard and make progress every day, Zhuge Qiao would catch crickets for Liu Chan to relieve his boredom. He would also secretly take Liu Chan over walls, climb trees, dig out bird eggs, and go down rivers to play in the water to catch loaches, etc. Xu Jing said. Anecdotes about vulgar behavior.

Liu Chan's low self-esteem and sensitive heart gradually became more heroic like Liu Bei's when he was young.

Thinking of Zhuge Qiao, Liu Chan thought of Huang Zhong.

When Huang Zhong said goodbye to Huo Yi in Chengdu, Liu Chan witnessed the whole process.

I also remember Huang Zhong’s concern and heroic words that day.

[The prince is kind and will surely become a benevolent king in the future. The old minister is just a vulgar warrior, and he cannot afford such a gift from the prince! 】

[Your Majesty, with the crown prince here, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty! 】

[Prince, Xiao Yi, bid farewell. See you in Chang'an City tomorrow! 】

[How can a man die here when his body is wrapped in horse leather? I would rather bury his bones in Qinchuan with me, and let the usurper and traitor witness the old soldier's blood! 】

Another veteran who followed Huang Zhong shouted, "The general is here, I'll be there soon!" 】【Blessed in this life! 】

Now Liu Chan has come to Chang'an, but Huang Zhong has passed away.

The more experiences people have, the more insights they gain.

Thinking of Huang Zhong, Liu Chan thought of Liu Bei.

When Liu Chan was young, he had some resentment towards Liu Bei.

The kind of resentment that other people have their parents around, but my parents can only be seen a few times a year or even never seen at all.

Today, Liu Chan no longer has any resentment in his heart. He just laments that he cannot share Liu Bei's worries and can only watch Liu Bei, who is over sixty years old, go to the battlefield in person.

Thinking of Liu Bei, Liu Chan also thought of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu and others.

The older generation works hard just so that the younger generation can suffer less.

Liu Chan thought of Liu Feng again, thinking that Liu Feng almost died fighting for Liu Bei, but the prince had never sacrificed his life to fight for Liu Bei, and he felt a little more guilty.

All the complicated thoughts gradually dissipated. Liu Chan's temperament also changed at this moment, and his eyes became clear and confident again.

But I saw Liu Chan salute solemnly, and his tone also had a bit of the heroism of Liu Bei when he was young:
"The soldiers of the army are fighting with their lives on the front line. As a prince, how can I hide in the deep palace and not know the suffering of the soldiers?"

"My father, who is over sixty years old, is still away on military expeditions. As a son, how can I not join the army to gain experience and share my father's worries?"

"Father, although the child is young, the sword on his waist is not a disadvantage."

"Please give me an order from my father to allow my child to join the army!"

Hearing Liu Chan's impassioned answer, the falling stone hanging in Liu Bei's heart also fell steadily.

When asking Liu Chan questions, Liu Bei was also worried, fearing that Liu Chan's answer would be unsatisfactory and cause contempt.

To know.

Outside the city at this moment, there are Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Situ Xu Jing, Shangshu Ling Li Yan, Lingling King Liu Feng, Hussar General Ma Chao, Chariot General Zhang Fei, Central Guard Zhao Yun and other high-ranking generals in the court, as well as Wu. Yi, Wu Ban, Wei Yan, Chen Dao and other brave generals with high status in the army, there are also brave soldiers who have been fighting with Liu Bei for a long time.

The better Liu Chan's performance, the easier it will be to establish prestige in the military in the future.

And now.

Liu Chan's performance far exceeded Liu Bei's expectations.

Liu Bei had approval in his eyes and asked again: "Prince, do you really think so?"

Liu Chan's tone was even louder: "A good man is as good as his word, and the horse is hard to catch. The child is the son of the father. How can the prince of the Han Dynasty not be like the father!"

This sentence directly spoke to Liu Bei's heart.

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing loudly: "The prince has such ambition, I have nothing to worry about!"

Xu Jing looked at Liu Chan blankly, seeming a little unsure of what he had just seen and heard.

Although he was Liu Chan's teacher, Xu Jing taught mostly etiquette and virtue, and Xu Jing rarely touched on other aspects.

In Xu Jing's eyes, the imperfect prince Liu Chan suddenly became a bit more heroic and heroic, which made Xu Jing unable to turn around for a while.

Zhang Fei had no such thoughts as Xu Jing. Hearing Liu Chan's heroic tone, Zhang Fei couldn't help but think of the first time he met Liu Bei.

He is equally passionate and heroic, as if everything can be easily solved.

"Brother, you can feel at ease now."

"I knew that Adou would not let you down, brother!"

Not only Xu Jing and Zhang Fei, but also Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials also looked at Liu Chan with admiration.

Only Liu Feng, who had been staying with Liu Chan for the past six months, had already understood Liu Chan's changes.

Since Liu Feng spent the most time with Liu Bei, Liu Chan often asked Liu Feng about Liu Bei's words, deeds, and manners in the army, and would often imitate them.

Liu Chan's Liu Bei-style equestrian skills were also learned from Liu Feng in the past six months.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard slightly and sighed: I don't know Adou as well as Bosong. If I really intercepted Bosong's letter, Your Majesty would not know Adou's current growth.

When everyone was astonished, Liu Chan saluted Situ Xu Jing again: "My mentor, I will also remember your kindness in teaching me."

"In the past, I was naughty and often made my mentor angry; now that I know the truth, I understand my mentor's intentions."

"I also know that my mentor is worried about my safety."

"Brother Bo Song once said to me: A hidden dragon soared into the abyss, its scales and claws flying. A tiger roared in the valley, and all beasts were terrified. An eagle and falcon tested its wings, and the wind and dust spread."

"Although I am young, I am still willing to inherit my father's ambition and not fall into the martial style of a son of the Han family."

Xu Jing looked at Liu Chan, who was well-mannered and spoke boldly in front of him. The surprise in his heart gradually dissipated and turned into a sentence of concern: "If the prince wants to join the army, he should know that the duty of the general in the army is to command on the spot and make arrangements from the center. He should not rush into battle rashly and end up fighting." Let the soldiers worry."

Seeing that Xu Jing had no objection, Liu Chan saluted again: "I sincerely follow my teacher's teachings."

Liu Bei was even more gratified: Adou had been in charge of the country for half a year, and Corporal Ai De was already 70% as good as me. Today's performance was enough to make the lieutenant generals respect Adou.

Liu Bei was so happy that he asked Liu Chan and Liu Feng to follow him, and the father and son rode at the front, riding towards Chang'an City.

If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Biao were still alive, they would probably be envious and jealous if they saw Liu Bei and his son being so harmonious.

After arriving at Chang'an City, Liu Bei excitedly summoned Fa Zheng and informed Fa Zheng of Liu Chan's performance.

The joy in my heart could not be concealed even if I had developed the habit of keeping my joy and anger hidden.

The righteousness of the Fa is also a relief.

When you reach Liu Bei's age, you will have a headache about the heir, worrying that the heir will not be able to inherit the unfinished business and leave regrets.

And now, Liu Chan gave Liu Bei hope for the future.

Although Liu Chan has not completely shed his childishness now, he will definitely become a talent over time.

"Xiao Zhi, if I move the capital to Chang'an, I will stay in Chang'an forever."

"It's just that Adou is asked to go somewhere to train in the army, but it's quite troublesome."

Liu Bei actually had several candidates in mind, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, and Zhuge Qiao, who proposed that Liu Chan go to the army for training.

Fazheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why bother about this matter? When the time comes, the prince will naturally come to ask for orders."

"At that time, your Majesty will let the prince go wherever he wants to go."

“In order for the young eagle to spread its wings and fly, it cannot always be protected by the eagle.”

"Why not let the prince spread his wings as much as he wants. Whether he falls down the cliff or soars into the sky, your majesty will just wait and see what happens."

Liu Bei thought about it carefully and realized that it was the same reason, so he no longer worried about it.

The decision to move the capital to Chang'an was unanimously approved by Zhuge Liang, Xu Jing, Fazheng, Li Yan, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other civil and military officials.

Whoever chooses to support Liu Bei only wants to stay in Yizhou!

How can one be called a revival of the Han Dynasty if he cannot occupy the Central Plains!

Since Liu Chan wanted to go to the army for training and Liu Bei gained Yongzhou and Liangzhou, the personnel appointments had to be redistributed.

After discussing with everyone, Liu Bei designated eleven counties including Tianshui County, Nan'an County, Guangwei County, Longxi County, Jincheng County, Xiping County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Xihai County as Liangzhou County.

Among these eleven counties, six counties, Xiping County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Xihai County, are currently nominally under Liangzhou.

Tianshui County, Nan'an County, Guangwei County, Longxi County and Jincheng County are currently under actual control by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also formally appointed Wang Lian, the fake governor of Liangzhou, as the governor of Liangzhou, with jurisdiction over civil officials such as Lu Yi, Du Qi, Liu Qian, You Chu, Liang Xu, Yin Shang, Liang Qian, Shangguan Zixiu, Li Zhuan, Pu Yuan, etc.

Jiang Wei, the general of Zuohan, was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Liangzhou and take charge of generals such as Feng Xi, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Zhu.

The hussar general Ma Chao was ordered to concurrently serve as the Protector of the Western Regions and Yi Fei Shi as the Chief Historian. He was ordered to conquer the disobedient countries in the Western Regions, establish farmlands, record records, and implement the Han Dynasty's political orders. And in Yongzhou.

Liu Bei divided Anding County, Fufeng County, Jingzhao County, Fengyi County, and Beiding County, and added Xinping County, making the six counties Yongzhou.

With Li Yan as the governor of Yongzhou, he restored the people's livelihood in the six counties; with Zhang Fei as the military governor of Yongzhou, he conquered the six counties that refused to obey.

Fa Zheng was restored to the position of Shangshu Ling, and he and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang were in charge of the government.

He also ordered Li Hui, the governor of Nijiang, to be the governor of Yizhou and lead the civil and military affairs of Yizhou to supervise the military affairs of Hanzhong, Xichuan and Nanzhong.

Many other civil and military personnel at all levels have been mobilized.

Liu Bei's political and military center of gravity was officially moved from Chengdu to Chang'an, and Yizhou existed as Liu Bei's rear area.

According to Liu Bei of the four states of Yongliang and Yijing, although the manpower was much lower than that of Cao Pi, the area had also become vast.

Especially the newly added Wei River Plain allowed Liu Bei to recruit more people to live in the Wei River Plain.

People eat for food.

Only when there is land and food, there are endless possibilities.

Late November.

Sun Quan's envoy Zhang Wen also trekked all the way to Chang'an City and sent Sun Quan's battle report.

"what?"

"Cao Pi actually lost Hefei and Shangchang City?"

Liu Bei was surprised when he saw Sun Quan's battle report.

Especially Shangchang City, which Liu Bei originally wanted Guan Yu to seize, but he never expected that it would fall into the hands of Sun Quan.

Not only Liu Bei was surprised, but Zhuge Liang and Fazheng were also surprised.

In Sun Quan's battle report, he shot Zhang Liao, defeated Cao Ren and captured the city of Hefei, and defeated Wenpin and captured the city of Shangchang. It was very shocking.

Even the words "Megatron Huainan" and "Megatron Jiangxia" were used.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, everyone seemed to be able to see Sun Quan's arrogant expression.

"Although Zhang Liao is dead, Cao Ren cannot be easily defeated."

"It seems that Cao Pi has an expert around him."

After carefully reading the battle report, Fa Zheng expressed his guess.

Zhuge Liang also said: "Cao Pi is showing weakness to Sun Quan, deliberately arrogant to Sun Quan and enriching Sun Quan's spirit."

"Those who show the enemy weakness, lure them deeper, and use strategies must be well versed in the art of war."

"To show weakness to Sun Quan at such a high price, Cao Pi's purpose must not be small."

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Liu Bei nodded and asked Zhang Wen: "Does the King of Wu have any other instructions?"

Zhang Wen took out another letter and presented it to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei looked at the watch, he frowned and his tone became unkind: "Sun Quan is really good at calculating!"

"After winning Hefei and Shangchang City, you didn't mention handing over the two cities to me. How dare you ask for a reward from me?"

"If you want Changsha County and Guiyang County, please send me those from Hefei City and Shangchang City first!"

Zhang Wen didn't dare to speak, his legs were shaking with shock.

Zhuge Ke never told me that there was such a request in King Wu's letter!
Doesn't this push me to the edge of a knife?
"Your Majesty, there may be a misunderstanding." Zhang Wen explained forcefully.

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? Do you want to tell me that you are unaware of this?"

Zhang Wen said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

Liu Bei handed Sun Quan's list to Zhang Wen: "Since you don't know, then go back and ask Sun Quan who is the king and who is the minister!"

"I can give Hefei and Shangchang City to Sun Quan. This is what Sun Quan deserves."

"But if Sun Quan wants to get involved in Changsha and Guiyang, it would be tantamount to rebellion!"

"Come here, blast Zhang Wen out of Chang'an City!"

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Wen was a famous official in Jiangdong, Liu Bei would not have blasted Zhang Wen out of Chang'an City, but would have beaten Zhang Wen with a stick.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhuge Liang and Fazheng spoke out to stop him.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive."

"Your Majesty, listen to me!"

Zhang Wen was so frightened that he did not dare to move rashly and expressed his distress.

Liu Bei had murderous intent in his eyes: "Sun Quan, my son, will never die in coveting Jingzhou!"

"Prime Minister, Xiaozhi, why did you stop me?"

Zhuge Liang asked Chen Dao to lead Zhang Wen to wait outside the palace.

Fazheng persuaded in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, it seems that the guesses made by the Prime Minister and I are correct."

"Cao Pi deliberately abandoned Hefei and Shangchang City in order to take the opportunity to destroy your Majesty's alliance with Sun Quan."

"If Your Majesty drives Zhang Wen away, Sun Quan will feel humiliated and may have to tear up the alliance again."

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "Sun Quan's son is famous for being capricious. Lu Bu was not even half as good as him in the past!"

"He dares to ask me for Changsha and Guiyang. If I don't humiliate him, he will tear up the covenant!"

"If I hadn't been keeping an eye on Cao Pi in Chang'an, I would have personally conquered Jiangdong and beheaded Sun Quan's son!"

"Cao Pi gave up Hefei, but he was so arrogant. Do you really think that after calling himself Sun Wu, he would be as capable as Sun Wu?"

"Does he really think he won Hefei based on his own ability?"

Liu Bei was very angry.

Breaking the covenant again and again, you really treat your faith as bullshit!
During his half-life as a soldier, Liu Bei saw many heroes and villains, but he had never seen such a shameless person!
Seeing that Liu Bei's anger remained unabated, Zhuge Liang admonished him: "Your Majesty, please put aside your thunderous wrath for now."

"Although Sun Quan acted like a villain, His Majesty's greatest enemy is still Cao Pi of Luoyang."

"Cao Pi used this method to gain a chance to breathe and reap the benefits."

"Your Majesty cannot compare with Cao Pi by making a truce to support the people."

"If there is no food from Jiangdong, your Majesty will have to feed the people for at least five years if he wants to make the Northern Expedition."

"If Cao Pi is allowed to feed the people for five years, the food he can raise will be several times that of Your Majesty!"

"This is extremely detrimental to His Majesty!"

Liu Bei's anger continued: "Are we really going to give up Changsha and Guiyang to Sun Quan?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "That's not what I meant!"

"Sun Quan made the request under the guise of military exploits, which means that Sun Quan did not really want to break with His Majesty."

"Since Sun Quan has both requests and fears, let's negotiate with Sun Quan first."

"You can send people to Jiangdong to test Sun Quan's specific intentions, and then make plans!"

Liu Bei's anger gradually subsided: "Who do you think the prime minister can send to Jiangdong?"

Zhuge Liang recommended: "Bachelor Qin Mi, who is smart, eloquent and courageous, can go to Jiangdong with Zhang Wen."

Liu Bei hesitated: "It takes too long to go back and forth from Jiangdong to Chang'an. If there is an accident, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Bosong is in Chengdu. He has been at ease for too long and is easy to slack off. We can ask Bosong to go to Jingzhou to provide support."

Fazheng also recommended: "Your Majesty, I think the prince can also go to Jingzhou."

"In terms of seniority, Sun Quan is just a junior; in terms of status, Sun Quan is just the King of Wu."

"Having the crown prince come forward is enough to show the great kindness that His Majesty has shown to Sun Quan."

Fa Zheng's words are sarcastic.

No matter how much Sun Quan tries, he is still just a son, and there is no need for Liu Bei to come forward in person.

If Liu Chan wants to experience, let Liu Chan follow Zhuge Qiao to Jingzhou.

King versus king.

Sons to sons, this is the emperor's grace.

Liu Bei's end, isn't it because I bullied my son?
Fazheng's satire on Sun Quan was exactly what Liu Bei wanted.

Liu Bei's remaining anger also dissipated, and he laughed and said: "Prime Minister and Xiao Zhizhi are right!"

"My son, Sun Quan, why do I need to go out in person!"

"Just let Bo Song and Adou deal with it. Well, let Gong Zhong go to Jingzhou as well."

Fazheng added: "In that case, it is better to let Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Huo Yi, Dong Yun, Fei Yi and others also go to Jingzhou."

"If Sun Quan wants to use force, let Zhang Bao and others follow him and practice."

Liu Bei put his hands on his hands and laughed: "The words of filial piety and uprightness are so wonderful!"

"Why don't I issue an edict to all the officials, and all the descendants who are willing to follow Adou to Jingzhou can go!"

"Let these juniors develop some friendship with Adou, so that they can help Adou lead the army in the future."

After discussing the details with Zhuge Liang and Fazheng.

Liu Bei summoned Qin Mi and asked Qin Mi and Zhang Wen to go to Jiangdong to explore what was going on.

At the same time, Liu Bei also asked Qin Mi to go directly to Jingzhou to find Zhuge Qiao without returning to Chang'an.

After Qin Mi and Zhang Wen left, Liu Bei asked the officials again.

Hearing that Liu Chan was going to Jingzhou to practice and needed juniors to go with him, all the officials in Chang'an came to the table one after another.

In addition to Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, and Huo Yi, Wei Yan also recommended his son Wei Chang, Li Yan recommended his son Li Feng, Fazheng recommended his son Fa Miao, and Xu Jing recommended his grandson Xu You.

Those who have sons recommend sons, those who have grandchildren recommend grandsons, and those whose children and grandchildren are not old enough recommend nephews.

There were also soldiers among the Baimen soldiers who recommended their own children to join the army.

Even Liu Bei's chef and groom recommended his son.

The prince is going to Jingzhou for training and needs people around him. This kind of good thing can't be seen even with a lantern on weekdays.

Naturally, no one wants to lag behind.

As long as he is of the right age, Liu Bei will accept anyone who comes.

Before Liu Chan went to Jingzhou, there were already more than 500 people on this list!
There are civil servants and military officers, soldiers, cooks, grooms and military doctors. The oldest is in his twenties and the youngest is thirteen years old.

Looking at the more than 500 people on the list, Fazheng suddenly became more teasing: "Prime Minister, do you think Bosong will jump up with joy when he sees these 500 people?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Bo Song is so good at being a teacher, why did he set up a martial arts hall in Chengdu!"

"Five hundred people, I think it's too little."

But deep down in his heart, Zhuge Liang was smiling happily.

Let you urge me to give birth to a brother for you. Let’s see what other thoughts you have in mind to urge me in the future.
