Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 545 This Year, Autumn in Chang'an
Lu Bu's good news spread to Chang'an like snowflakes, making Chang'an no longer look so bleak this autumn.

In the Han Dynasty, autumn was not a golden autumn season.In the previous life, because of the two harvests a year, autumn was always a scene of fruitful fruits, so people like autumn.But in the Han Dynasty, although there were two crops of rice in the south, that area was still a deserted and infested barren land. It was not until the Sun Quan era that the Yangtze River Valley in the south was inhabited, and it gradually became prosperous and prosperous.

Therefore, autumn in the Han Dynasty was a bleak season, until later most of the poems described the chilling and desolate tone of autumn.Even beheading was put in autumn.

But this autumn of the second year of Zhongping, the people in Guanzhong really fell in love with autumn.One of the reasons is naturally that the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops promoted by Liu Xie brought them a bumper harvest in this season.Another stimulating factor is Lu Bu's successive victories after leaving Chang'an.

No one doesn't like victory, even though those victories don't seem to bring practical and detailed benefits to the people of Guanzhong, but the bold Guanzhong men still sing and drink every day, expressing their happiness for no reason.In the entire Chang'an city, everyone was talking about the rumors and deeds of the world's most powerful general. As the businessmen in Guanzhong continued to send news to Chang'an to confirm the news, the excitement in Guanzhong finally spread into a carnival.

In Chang'an, the lanterns of restaurants and restaurants of various colors are tall, and the flags are waving, and the sound of high-spirited talk and applause fills the market.The social dance, which was originally held only for grand ceremonies, also flooded the long street.The statue of the god of society, carried by more than 40 strong men on a large wooden cart, moved slowly, looking kindly at the men and women in colorful clothes dancing wildly at his feet.

Foreign businessmen stood under the eaves of the street and excitedly pointed and discussed, or listened to the old people around them commenting on the pros and cons of folk customs and social dances in Guanzhong with a smile on their faces.At first, what made foreign businessmen's hearts beat the most was that all prices in Chang'an dropped by [-]% to [-]%, some even fell by [-]%!A large red cloth is hung high in front of each shop, with the word "Huan" written on it, and below it are "falling eight" or "falling five" and "falling six".

The foreign businessmen were terrified, but they couldn't offend their elders in the world's largest water and land market, so they had to follow the market and fell four or three.But what surprised foreign businessmen even more was that Chang'an people didn't even bother to take advantage of this festive day to grab small profits. They walked into big and small shops politely, and only bought some festive things or wine, food, and desserts.That's it, I also try to buy them in stores opened by people in Guanzhong, and rarely patronize the stores of foreign merchants.

For a while, the foreign businessmen admired each other and exclaimed, "Wenzai Guanzhong!" After being pleasantly surprised, the Mi family in Xuzhou took the lead, and the foreign businessmen fell [-]% to thank the Guanzhong elders.A big merchant in Guanzhong actually placed festive items, wine, food and sweet cakes at the door of the store as gifts to the people in the city, but they didn't send out a few pieces in a day.The foreign businessmen were ashamed and happy, so they handed over the business of the store to the accountants, and took to the streets to have fun with the people of Chang'an.

During the carnival in Chang'an, there was only one place that was deserted as usual, and that was Shangshutai in the middle of the province.General Anyuan Xun You pinched the memorial to Lu Bu preparing to plot Hanzhong, and smiled slightly.Then he put the memorial on the side of the Pingshui case table: he knew that the battle situation in Lu Bu's place did not require him to pay too much attention to it.

As General Anyuan, Xun You did not have the right to start a mansion. According to Liu Xie's instruction, he found such a public house in Shangshutai to take full responsibility for the position equivalent to that of a Taiwei.

Xun You is not the kind of person who is in charge of the overall situation, but he is an unparalleled figure in this era when he is careful about the situation of the battle.Even, based on Lv Bu's memorial and Jin Yiwei's secret letter, he could already see that Lv Bu at this moment was no longer the reckless and cracking person in the past.From Lv Bu's arrangement of Zhou Cang and Liu Pi to chase and suppress the enemy, and his strategy of maximizing the advantages of the Han Dynasty in a seemingly unplanned manner, he knew that Lv Bu, a fierce general, was already looking towards a member of the team to observe the good general. direction development.

At this time, the army of the Han Dynasty was approaching Xiegu Pass, and Zhang Lu's threat in Hanzhong was dispelled: Lu Bu captured Xiegu Pass, and the Han Dynasty would naturally take the initiative in the Hanzhong war in the future.What does it matter if it is not captured?At least, all Hanzhong people know that only the Han Dynasty has Lu Bu and cavalry, and they cannot be compared with the Han army in field battles.

With Lu Bu around one day, even if they want to rebel again in the future, they will probably send troops cautiously under the temptation of great interests, and if there is any trouble, they will retreat to Hanzhong if the situation is not good-if there is only such a thing in Hanzhong in the future A little threat, even if they dispatched [-] soldiers, it was just a scratchy threat, and it was meaningless.

However, just after Xun You smiled slightly, he looked at the empty space on one side of the table, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: Compared with Lu Bu's success stories, Zhang Yun's movement is like an ancient well that cannot be microwaved. .It may contain thousands of things, or it may be empty, making people feel empty.

When Xun You was thinking about whether to urge the Jinyi guards beside Zhang He, the door was suddenly opened. The emperor Liu Xie was wearing casual clothes, with some cake crumbs on his luxurious mink fur, apparently just returned from the market place.Behind him were Leng Shouguang, who never left his shadow, and Zhong Yao, whom Xun You knew well.

"Gongda, Lu Bu won a big victory, and the whole Chang'an is celebrating. I also had two days of autumn vacation, why don't you go and see the excitement?" Liu Xie took a seat next to Xun You, not minding the relationship between the monarch and his ministers at all. Farewell, seeing Xun You got up quickly, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I came here uninvited this time. You are the host of this place, and I am the guest. Today there is only the difference between host and guest, and there is no distinction between monarch and minister."

"I want to imitate the beautiful talk of cutting off seats and breaking up friendship." Xun You knew that Liu Xie's words just now were just greetings, so he made such a joke with Liu Xie at will.

The matter of cutting off seats and severing diplomatic relations means that Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Guan Ning in the Han Dynasty were collectively called Yilong by the world.When Guan Ning and Hua Xin were sitting on the same mat and studying together, there was someone passing through the market in a porch outside the door. Guan Ning kept his eyes on the book and read as before, but Hua Xin put down the slip of paper and went out to watch the fun.After returning, Guan Ning divided the seats and said to Hua Xin, "You are really not a good reader..."

Liu Xie naturally learned this allusion when he was a child, and it was nothing more than teaching children to concentrate on reading.But in the Han Dynasty, although this matter was spread, it was just a leisurely anecdote.In fact, Hua Xin's achievement is much higher than Guan Ning, and he has always been a relatively active figure in the political field of the Han and Wei dynasties.Even Guan Ning was later recommended by Hua Xin to Cao Pi.

Liu Xie feels that there is no reference point for saying whether this kind of thing has anything to do with a person's ability.Hua Xin likes to be lively. It can also be said that people pay attention to a wide range of people and are very active.Guan Ning concentrates on his studies, but when it comes to world affairs, he can't compare with Lu Zhi, who used to study and never glance at dancers.It can only be said that this incident is just an anecdote, so just talk about it casually.

As a result, the monarch and his ministers were not entangled in this issue at all.On the contrary, they agreed to only divide subject and object, and within three sentences they talked about military affairs.Xun You stroked his long beard and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, Zhang Junyi has not been heard from for several days, and Ma Mengqi's whereabouts are also unknown. Should I urge you?"

Liu Xie also frowned slightly, but did not answer Xun You's question directly, but asked Leng Shouguang to the side: "How long has it been since Zhang Yun left Chang'an?"

"37 days." Leng Shouguang was naturally Leng Shouguang, and he gave the exact date without even thinking about it.

Liu Xie, who heard this date, suddenly relaxed his brows: "Then it will be two days, Gongda needn't worry, think that the western troops have Yang Dezu in their wisdom, Ma Mengqi in their military, as well as manipulative maneuvers." Zhang Junyi sits in the center. He will definitely not suffer from Han Sui, not to mention, for us at this time, no news is good news..."

Xun You nodded lightly, and he also knew that Zhang He's battlefield was completely different from Lu Bu's, and any fleeting fighters could not be written on paper and presented.However, no matter how you say it, this situation still makes Xun You feel uneasy.

"Gongda, don't worry. I feel that nothing will happen..." Liu Xie repeated this sentence again, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth that Xun You ignored.
