Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Another accident
"Report..."

A quick and long voice came along with the sound of horse hooves.

"Huh? Isn't that the messenger I left at the governor's mansion in Yinguan City? Why is he here? What could have happened in Yinguan City?"

Liu He looked puzzled.

"Dengdengdeng..."

After the messenger got off his horse, he ran up the stairs, taking two steps at a time.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

Liu He asked hurriedly.

"My lord, the old man..."

The messenger seemed a little hesitant when he spoke, but just these few words instantly made everyone on the city wall tense.

"What happened to my father? Tell me!"

Liu He grabbed the messenger and almost shouted something.

"The old man...something happened to him..."

When the messenger said this, his eyes were filled with tears, which made Liu He feel something was wrong.

Cheng Liang suddenly got angry: "Can you speak more clearly, kid? If you don't make yourself clear, I will throw you out of here like that traitor Tang Zhou!"

"The old man... when he went to collect herbs, he slipped and fell off a cliff. Now he is... his life is in danger..."

"what!"

Everyone was shocked!

"How could this be possible? What kind of herbs would he go to collect in this cold winter?"

Liu He's eyes were bloodshot and he looked truly terrifying.

"The old man saw that many soldiers in the army had lost their hands and feet after the battle. Some of them had infected wounds and were in great pain, so he went to the clinic to find the genius doctor Hua Tuo for help. After examining them, the genius doctor prescribed a prescription, but the two herbs in it had been consumed too much in recent days and were no longer available in the city. The old man couldn't bear to see the soldiers suffer in this way during the winter, so he went out of the city to collect herbs himself. Although he had several soldiers to protect him, but... but the mountain road was slippery after the snow, so..."

At this point, the messenger burst into tears.

"Father! Poof..."

Liu He roared. He had just recovered from his injuries and was now so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and others quickly supported him.

“Old man, I, Pan Yun, deserve to die. I am here to accompany you!”

Pan Yun cried bitterly, shook off the two soldiers who were holding him, and jumped down from the city wall.

Pan Xian was in so much pain that he also wanted to jump down, but he didn't have enough strength in one hand to break free. He was held tightly by the personal soldiers behind him. He could only bow his head and cry and blame himself.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Cui Jun looked at the unconscious Liu He and said hurriedly: "Hurry back to Yinguan City. Where is Zhao Kui!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"I'm leaving Yinguan City to you. Don't let it get lost!"

"Military advisor, rest assured. Now that the great event has been resolved, the people have returned to their faith. If there is any further trouble, Zhao Kui is willing to sacrifice his life!"

Zhao Kui also said with red eyes.

"Okay, let's go back!"

...In Yinguan City, the whole city was in mourning. Although Liu Qian had been buried in Longzhong a few days ago, many of the city's common people were still immersed in grief.

"Alas, the Liu family are all good people, why don't good things come to them? Although Liu Taigong has only been in Yinguan City for a short time, he is not arrogant to ordinary people. In order to relieve the pain of the soldiers, he personally went to collect herbs in this cold weather. Even his biological parents might not do this. How could he just die like this..."

"The old man next door, Chen, is the only one left with his little granddaughter. He has difficulty walking and hasn't been able to cultivate much land. Last year, he learned the skill of weaving baskets to make a living. The old man often visits them and always gives them more money. In fact, the baskets he bought are not for his own use. He gives them to some poor families."

"I heard that Governor Liu usually eats and lives with the soldiers. He rarely goes back to stay overnight even in the governor's room. Most of the salary from the court is given to his parents. But Governor Liu and his wife still farm by themselves, and give the extra food to the soldiers from time to time. I heard that when they were in Langtiao County, they often invited lonely old people in the city to have meals. You say that such a good man, why doesn't God bless him to live a hundred years."

"I heard that Governor Liu was so sad that he fell ill. God, please bless him to recover soon."

People were discussing these things in the streets and alleys of the city.

In the prefect's mansion, Hua Tuo retreated from a room.

"Mr. Yuanhua, how is my elder brother?"

Everyone gathered around and asked with concern.

"Liu Taishou is in good health. He just recovered from a serious illness and traveled a long distance. He was tired and sad. He will recover soon as he takes good care of himself. But the old lady is a little troublesome. Her body is not as strong as the Taishou's. After such a blow, she needs to rest for a few months."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, sir. I'll take you there."

After Guan Yu personally escorted Hua Tuo out of the mansion, he returned.

With a creaky sound, the door suddenly opened and Zhang Yu walked out.

"Sister-in-law!"

"younger sister."

"Mother!"

Everyone said hello.

After Zhang Yu returned the greeting, she said, "My husband, please come in and talk."

After saying that, Zhang Yu turned and left, while Guan Yu and others pushed open the door and walked in.

"Brother, your body has not yet recovered, you should rest more and not worry about anything for now."

Zhang Yong looked at Liu He, whose face turned pale, and thought of Zhang Yu's slightly red eyes before, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Liu He sat up a little straighter and coughed a few times.

"It's okay. Since the decisive battle on the grasslands of Shuofang County, the army has been very busy. It's just that the matter of Qiangyin County has come up and my father has passed away, so there have been many delays. I should have observed a three-year mourning period, but the military and political affairs are urgent and cannot be delayed. How can I abandon it because of my own selfishness? Has the previously agreed list of officials to be sent to the counties been notified to everyone?"

Seeing that he got straight to the point and started talking about government affairs, everyone stopped talking.

"My lord, I have notified everyone. It is now the middle of winter, and many roads outside the city have been frozen, making it difficult to walk. Moreover, most of the cities have been abandoned for a long time, so it will take time to clean them up. Therefore, I have discussed with Guangyuan, Gongwei, Zixi and others, and will send them to take up their posts after the spring. The people in each city have also been notified, and the Anhan Trading Company has also been informed."

Liu He nodded, picked up the cup of warm water beside the bed and took a sip of warm water.

"Government affairs have been stabilized. With the help of the military advisor and you all, there will be no problems. The most important thing now is to recover the losses in this battle."

"Brother, you are right." Zhang Yong said.

"After this battle, the Han Wuzu, Shenji Camp, Jindao Camp, Shenhu Cavalry, and Zijin Dragon Cavalry were all destroyed. In the Thunder God Cavalry, except for my fifth brother, only Lin Xin was left. The rest were all killed in the battle. It was a tragic battle. According to the military reports from Xiangzi and General Gao, there are traces of Hu cavalry units on the grasslands west of Shuofang. Although after this great defeat, even if the enemy intends to come for revenge, their military strength will be far less than before, but we have to guard against them, not to mention that there are many other enemies secretly watching us."

"Not only that, many weapons and armors have also been severely damaged. If we want to recruit soldiers, we need to build military equipment as soon as possible. After all, the military equipment used by these troops is extremely sophisticated. It will take a lot of money and time to build tens of thousands of sets."

As Zhang Yong was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Liu He was staring blankly at a robe hanging on the side of the room.

"Brother?" Zhang Yong called out.

"Hmm?" Liu He suddenly woke up, "Oh, I was just distracted for a moment, fourth brother, continue."
