The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 409 Who will belong to whom ([-])

After Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao finished discussing the matter, more than an hour had passed.It was still very early when Shi Guangyuan came to Xiangyang City, so Liu Chan called Zhuge Qiao, Zhao Feng and Zuo Fu, and they rode to the riverside to inspect the defense.

Everyone inspected for more than ten miles along the south bank of Xiangshui River, and found that the opposite side was quiet.Cao Wei stationed so many troops in Nanyang County, but now there is no enemy figure by the river, it is really a strange thing.

In fact, what Liu Chan didn't know was that Jia Xu had already ordered the generals of the army not to let the soldiers act without permission, causing unnecessary conflicts between the armies of both sides.That's why Liu Chan saw that the opposite river bank was so calm, while the river bank on his side was full of obstacles.

After that, Liu Chan went to the barracks to inspect and check the purge situation of various ministries and horses.However, the overall situation made Liu Chan quite satisfied, and there was no phenomenon of desertion.On the contrary, a few guys who tried to cross the river and escape back to the north have been escorted to the assassination place for trial.

Liu Chan and others saw that it was already afternoon, and the time was almost up. Shi Guangyuan's motorcade should also be arriving soon.The crowd did not return to the city, but went directly to the south gate.

When everyone arrived at the South City Gate, the sun had already slanted to the west, emitting a faint orange-red light, which was not dazzling at all.The sky was covered with a pile of broken clouds arranged like fish scales, and they were also dyed orange red, like a carp lying on its back in the sky.

Outside the city is an open space covered with snow. The passage near the city gate is covered with footprints left by humans, and the snow below has been trampled away or turned black.In the distance are some dead branches of wild wormwood that have not been broken by the wind, swaying gently alone.Their skins have turned black, as if they had been burned by a fire. Next to them are a few birds that are not afraid of the cold, jumping up and down for food.

On the road near the city gate, there are bustling pedestrians.They lined up in two long dragons, and now the south and north of Xiangyang City are the enemy's advance, and it is impossible not to strictly check the people who enter the city.

Liu Chan and others got off their horses on the right side of the city gate, waiting for Shi Guangyuan's arrival.

The small school guarding the city gate obviously knew Liu Chan, so he hurriedly brought people over to show his hospitality, and asked Liu Chan if he needed any services.It was almost night now, and the city gate was about to be closed. Liu Chan didn't want to cause inconvenience to passers-by, so he told the little school to go back and do his own business.

After a while, Guan Xing, Gai Meng and others also arrived. They were all in bright armor, and even Xiong Ping had dressed up and shaved his beard clean.These people must also want to meet this legendary teacher Shizi who is somewhat eccentric but extremely knowledgeable.

What's more, Shi Guangyuan is still the military division of the Jingzhou Army, and his position is higher than theirs.The so-called "officials overwhelm people to death", the unspoken rules of officialdom are always frightening. If you don't come, you will always feel uneasy in your heart and fear that you will be put on small shoes in the future.

Of course Liu Chan understood everyone's thoughts, so he didn't drive everyone back to do his own thing.He just chatted with everyone and waited, so he wouldn't feel bored.

The crowd waited for another quarter of an hour, and finally saw a team of hundreds of people appearing in the sunlight ahead, with a rather elegant carriage in the middle of the team.They were not moving fast, the carriage was staggering on the road, and the curtains on both sides were also shaking, as if a cripple was walking.

When the convoy stopped behind the queue of people, it didn't move there, obviously waiting in line for the security check.What they did caused the civilians who were queuing in front to turn their heads and look back, as if they were extremely surprised by such a thing that would not have happened even in the 21st century China.

Liu Chan and the others were also taken aback.It was Liu Chan who was the first to realize that under the strict school rules, all the members of the National Academy of Medicine have formed the habit of waiting in line to obey the rules—whether you are a rich man or a pariah, the treatment is the same. It is a bad national character that likes to jump in line, and it will be punished absolutely.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "This Mr. Shi has been in the hospital for a long time, so after he came out, he didn't know the outside world. However, this is not bad." Then, he waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him. Step forward to greet.

After Liu Chan and others passed by, someone notified Shi Guangyuan in the carriage.

Then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shi Guangyuan walked out from inside.I haven't seen Shi Guangyuan for half a year, and his appearance has not changed, his body is still a little fat.It's just that, just like when he was in Hanzhong, his clothes and manners are all cleaned up, and he is no longer as sloppy as he was in the National Hospital, and he still holds a broken walking stick in his hand all day long.His current appearance is completely like that of a well-mannered celebrity.

Originally, according to the habit, when Liu Chan met Shi Guangyuan, it was inevitable that he would tease him.But now it is a big crowd, and there are many generals around him who have never met Shi Guangyuan, so it is not easy to joke with Shi Guangyuan anymore.

When Shi Guangyuan saw Liu Chan coming to pick him up in person, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to Zhuge Qiao before getting down from the carriage.

Liu Chan stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you have finally arrived in Xiangyang City. When you came out of Chengdu, you should have notified me first. Why didn't you send the notice when you arrived in Jingshan?"

Shi Guangyuan smiled, and said: "You have won every battle in Nanyang County, and I, a town army strategist, probably won't be of much use if I come here. So I thought, I might as well not tell you, and then travel all the way to the mountains and rivers Go slowly."

Everyone laughed when they heard Shi Guangyuan's funny words.

Then, Liu Chan introduced the general to Shi Guangyuan.All the generals stepped forward to salute one after another, Shi Guangyuan also put back his previous madness at this time, and returned the salutes one by one very humbly, looking like a Confucian scholar.It can be seen that Shi Guangyuan is actually very good at being a man, but because he is lazy by nature, he often behaves very bohemian.

Therefore, the generals' impression of Shi Guangyuan in front of him is really different from the usual rumors.

At this time, Liu Chan saw that the queue in front of him was still very long, and it was Shi Guangyuan's turn to accept the security check, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait.However, he was unwilling to take advantage of his privileges—although this was actually justifiable at the time, he went directly through the city gate, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

At this time, a white-eared guard stepped forward and reported that the little school guarding the gate came to ask for another visit.Liu Chan nodded and asked the guard to bring Xiao Xiao up.

After the little school saluted Liu Chan and everyone, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that your teacher is going to enter the city. Now I am ordering people to drive the people in front of me to the side so that your The teacher's team will go into the city as soon as possible."

Liu Chan frowned immediately, and turned to look at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate were indeed chasing people away.He turned his head to look at Shi Guangyuan, Shi Guangyuan's brows were also wrinkled, and his face looked ugly.

Liu Chan immediately asked the little schoolboy displeased, "Who told you to do this?"

The little principal still smiled and said: "The lower official thinks..."

Liu Chan is no longer interested in listening to the small school's words, they are nothing more than flattering words.Liu Chan raised the horsewhip in his hand and reprimanded: "You know the law and violate the law, but you still exceed your authority! Who gave you the power to drive out the people, and who gave you the power to let my teacher go into the city first? You are here by yourself now. Where is the assassin going to surrender and accept the review, or should I send someone to escort you there?!"

The little schoolboy's face suddenly turned pale.He originally wanted to flatter Shizi and Shi Guangyuan, but unexpectedly, he patted the horse's leg instead.

The schoolboy immediately knelt down and said, "Your officer, go and accept the crime yourself."

Liu Chan nodded, and sent someone to the front city gate to order the security check to restore order.Then, Liu Chan thought for a while, and smiled at Shi Guangyuan: "Sir, let's ride in together now. Your team, stay and continue to line up?"

Shi Guangyuan didn't care too much, Shizi's performance just now was quite in line with their hospital's style.He smiled and said, "It's so good. I've been riding a car all the way, and now I can exercise my muscles by riding a horse."

The performance of the two masters and apprentices immediately made it difficult for the generals who watched to the side to understand.
