Chapter 353 Bleeding Weeds

"Thank you for your hard work in Zhao Situ. Zhao Situ led his team to break through and protect the ministers and made great contributions to the state. He also drank this cup and suppressed his shock."

"I dare not, I dare not, Zhao was already reduced to Jingzhao Yin in the early years. How could General Zhang be called Situ again? Chunyu Situ was still in the city the day before yesterday. Zhao Kuang was incompetent in supporting the country, but he was a guilty person who was incompetent and guilty. It was a blessing that he could have a life of hiding under the King of Hanzhong."

In Xiliu Camp, Zhao Wen brought a group of nobles and was originally nervously brought to Zhang Fei by Ma Chao. When he saw Zhang Fei's unshakable face, he was still a little scared, fearing that Zhang Fei was a vulgar person like Li Jue and Guo Si, and he blamed them.

After all, in troubled times, fists are bigger than pen tips, and warlords are stronger than clans. Famous scholars can’t explain clearly when they meet soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei also took out the only treasured wine in the camp and invited former Situ and Guangluxun, Da Zongzheng and several Northern Army captains to drink and suppress their shock, and even poured wine for themselves. This contrasted with Zhang Fei's image of slutty on his face, which made Zhao Wen breathe a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

It seems that Zhang Fei treats people well. Although he is famous for killing and fighting fiercely compared to Zhao Yun, it seems that his fierceness is just on the battlefield, and he is quite polite to treat guests in private.

I don’t know that when Zhao Wen thought so, Zhang Fei, a famous scholar, was also quite happy and drank a few more drinks in his mood: We also had a day when the Three Dukes and Nine Lords bowed and praised him.

Zhao Wen, Liu Ai and Deng Quan praised it with good words, quoted from classics and said, "It is not a coincidence that the generals who have been invaded will now station troops in Xiaoliu and will be restored to Chang'an today. Seeing that the generals govern the army, the rules are rigorous and the orders are prohibited, the military appearance is quite impressive. We all look at the history books and think that it is too much for Zhou Yafu."

"Under the general's rule, he is really the army of Xionghu,"

Zhou Yafu was a famous general who was in "Records of the Grand Historian", and he also stationed troops in the Liliu camp back then. These officials who read a lot had no other skills, but they still had a lot of eloquence to praise them based on classics and historical famous allusions.

Now we have to please Zhang Fei and protect them. These good things that are not worthwhile are not just car to say. One drink of wine has to say a flattering joke, and it doesn’t have the same thing after drinking it for three or five rounds.

Zhang Fei was afraid that these civil servants would not be able to drink, so he wanted to persuade them to wait until after three rounds of wine. But after hearing their flattery, Zhang Fei felt secretly happy when he heard it, and he had already deliberately suppressed the alcohol content and finally got drunk.

After drinking, Zhao Wen and Liu Ai and others only talked about jokes and did not drink alcohol, and advised Zhang Fei to drink. Zhang Fei was also very happy to use jokes instead of wine, which was corroded for a while.

Until many years later, Zhang Fei still sighed that this wine was the most enjoyable thing he drank when he was young. However, Zhang Fei was still a little different from other people who could not stand praise. Until he finally got drunk, he still maintained a little vigilance about the lessons he had learned:

"No wonder that Dong Zhuo, the old thief, could not withstand Wang Yun's praise after he arrived in Chang'an. The warlords gained great power and were praised in different ways every day. Who can withstand this?

Fortunately, my elder brother is not a person who likes to be praised by celebrities. He has always been happy and angry. It is not a big deal to be bragged about by people like me..."

...

Zhang Fei expected it was right. After all, he knew Liu Bei very well.

Liu Bei is a man who is not happy or angry, and is not arrogant when praised. He is completely practiced since childhood.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not have this kind of hardship since childhood. Although Sun Jian was poor when he was young, and Dong Zhuo suffered hardship when he was young, he was not very similar to Liu Bei.

Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo were both born in a barbarian land with strong people. At that time, there were pirates in Kuaiji and Qiang Rebellion in Xiliang. Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo were used to a jungle law society where "if you have a hard fist, you can fight for wealth by yourself." Therefore, with their force, as long as they make themselves stronger, they don't have to suffer.

Although there were also border rebellions in Youzhou where Liu Bei was born, in the years before Liu Bei was 14 years old, Liu Yu was guarding Youzhou. During Liu Yu's tenure, all the Xianbei Wuhuans did not dare to invade and came to the court respectfully.

This made Liu Bei really have to weave mats and sell shoes for his childhood, and he did not blindly believe in force during his personality formation. Later, Liu Yu was transferred away, and Youzhou gradually became chaotic. After Liu Bei was fifteen years old, he transformed into a society of force and believed in the military, and made friends with Gongsun Zan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei year by year.

Two days later, as Liu Bei personally arrived around Chang'an with his main force, Zhao Wen, Deng Quan and Liu Ai respectfully went to Liu Bei's camp to express his responsibilities and said a few good things like Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei was always calm and in sharp contrast with Zhang Fei.

There is no such thing as "I was not qualified to be praised by the three ministers and nine ministers when I was young", so I have to be blown away now.

Liu Bei just calmly spoke and comforted him, saying some very appropriate words, expressing his regret for the misfortune of the court:

"The court will be replaced, and the country will fall. As long as it comes, I will not control my virtue and ability, and I want to believe in great righteousness in the world. Now the traitors are close to us. I also ask all the officials to work together and achieve their full achievements."

Zhao Wen led the way and said: "I dare not do my best. We will be able to leave Chang'an for three or four days. We will understand the situation in the city. Where we can help the king, we will definitely speak freely.

However, Li Jue's thief slaughtered people who were not in the same heart as him in the city, obviously learning from the lessons that Wang Yun was killed by him. Unfortunately, the king came a few days later. If someone in the city was in love with the inner person, he would probably be almost killed by Li Jue..."

Liu Bei didn't think he was wrong, nor did he think there was any problem with the plan of the counselors around him. He said bluntly:

"Gu started marching in Linjing. The infantry traveled 80 miles a day and was exhausted. It was impossible to be faster. Now that things have come, the dukes must look forward and think about how to break the city together. By the way, all the officials of the court, are you the only ones who have not come out? Will Li Jue kill all the people? There is such an outrageous beast in the world?"

Zhao Wen lamented for a while, and talked to Liu Ai and Deng Quan about the list of murdered officials they knew.

Liu Bei listened with a deep face, but it was fine at first. As he listened, he just gritted his teeth and occasionally clamped his fingers and knuckles that held the hilts of the sword.

It was not until he heard that Huangfu Song was bound and humiliated by Li Jue, and was old and angry, scolding the thief to death, that he burst into tears and sighed.

Finally, the Dachang Qiu Miaosi, who had never had the chance to speak, mentioned the murder of the concubines and the palace maids and eunuchs.

Liu Bei ordered hatefully: "Send a funeral for Huangfu Gong! Siege the city tomorrow! After breaking the city, he killed Li Jue's family and paid tribute to Huangfu Gong, and other murdered ministers and concubines."

Liu Bei's words are very accurate, and they are mourning, not mourning. Because Huangfu Song is just a senior who is both a teacher and a friend of his, and has the kindness of support, but not his teacher. Lu Zhi, who died of old age two years ago, was considered to be.

Therefore, mourning cannot be worn, but mourning can be done. Wearing white linen clothes does not mean that they are all called mourning. The Confucian funeral level is very strict and must be divided into five clothes. Only the first two clothes are cut off, and the zi-cui can be considered "dressing mourning", and the next three levels can only be considered "defying mourning".

Just like when Liu Bang broke out of Guanzhong, he pretended to be a funeral for Emperor Yi to win people's hearts.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, unless the emperor himself was killed, Liu Bei could take revenge, and he could take revenge by himself. For example, after Emperor Xian of Han abdicated in history, the Yizhou Army officially determined that Emperor Xian was killed, which was mourning. Other Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed and vowed to take revenge, but they were just mourning with white hair.

After giving the order, Liu Bei went straight to the point and asked: "It's so difficult now, so I'll talk less about Xuli. You just escaped from Chang'an. Do you know how to attack the city for convenience? How to deploy it?"

After hearing Liu Bei ask about military affairs, two former captains of the Five Northern Army Corps Wei Jie, Ju Jun quickly reported: "Report to the King of Hanzhong, before we broke through, we destroyed the Beigong Gate of Weiyang Palace and the Hengmen of Beicheng, which was only two or three days apart. If the king leads his troops to attack quickly, Li Jue may have not yet been able to completely repair it. The day before yesterday, we looked outside Hengmen, as if we were only blocking the blocking of debris."

Wei Jie and Ju Jun, like the ministers just now, carefully said that when calling Liu Bei, he said the title of "Quanshe Hanzhong King". It can be seen that the people in the Chang'an court still knew that Liu Bei, the Hanzhong King, had not completed the procedure of "resigning and giving up" in name, and this time he returned to Chang'an to pay his respects to the king, and he had to complete the "resigning and giving up" by the way. Only after the emperor personally allowed it, he had to remove the word "resigning and giving up".

When Liu Bei heard that the city defense was damaged in advance, he was secretly happy and asked his advisers around him: "Boya, Gongda, what do you think? Is it feasible to attack Chang'an from the north gate?"

Li Su and Xun You haven't gotten a chance to speak today. Xun You thought about it and avoided suspicion to take the lead in being a villain, reminding his lord to calm down:

"King, the army has no constant power and cannot be generalized. You need to first ask about the scale and composition of the defenders in the city to make a decision. Even if the city gate is destroyed, Li Jue's army will definitely guard and repair it overnight, or rammed earth into a fortress. If a rash attack alarms the enemy and makes the enemy more prepared, it will be unbeautiful.

Even if we want to attack the North Gate, we should arrange doubts in the other three gates, and at the same time we will act to share the enemy's forces to defend the city, so as not to defend the North Gate with all our strength."

Liu Bei felt it made sense, and without waiting for Li Su to finish his words, he turned his head and continued to ask Wei Jie. Ju Jun: "How much does Li Jie have in the city now have? "

The two lieutenants replied in unison: "There were 20,000 defenders in the city, and some of them were strong men from Xinla. Li Jue was recently defeated and retreated to the city with 20,000 troops, including the troops retreated after Chi Yang's resignation. So there were more than 40,000 people in total.

However, when we were sending people to Huayin to pursue His Majesty, thousands of soldiers were delayed outside the city and were annihilated by General Zhao Fubo in Xinfeng Field. In addition, two or three thousand old troops from Zhongjun, the five schools of the Northern Army led by us broke through, and the rest of the Northern Army soldiers were killed. Before their deaths, they fought with Li Jue's direct troops in the city. It is estimated that the two armies had suffered thousands of casualties.

Therefore, the Li Jue defenders in the city should have only 35,000 people. A small number of soldiers have not been in the army for a long time and may not be in the same heart as Li Jue. The loyalty of Yu Li Jue should have more than 20,000 people.

The 8,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Western Liang Han soldiers were all left behind by the Dong thief brought along the Xiliang route. The nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Hu troops were mostly soldiers of the Xianbei Hu and the pseudo-South Xiongnu Subugudu Hou troops of the five counties of Beidi County and Hetao.

Li Jue himself is from Beidi County, so the Hu soldiers from Beidi and the five Hetao counties were newly recruited in the past two years after Li Jue took power. However, because he was with Li Jue and Li Jue rewarded them a lot, he became a confidant within two years. Dachang Qiu Miaosi once said yesterday that Li Jue temporarily distributed many of the palace maids captured to these Xianbei and Xubugudu Hou Hub, so the Hu soldiers were very motivated..."

Liu Bei was so angry that he threw his cup directly: "Zi said that he led beasts to eat people, this is what it means! Li Jue not only betrayed the king, but also betrayed the ancestors, and even slaughtered the Han people with the Xianbei Qiang and Hu! He should be punished within five robberies! He sent orders to the soldiers in the third round, and then he tried to attack the city in the fourth round! Then he went to the north gate!"

Li Su moved her lips next to her and did not persuade her in public. The current atmosphere is indeed not suitable if she doesn't give it a try.
