Just when General Fei Qian was worried that Jizhou and Yuzhou might suffer from plague due to this war, Yang Xiu slowly left Luoyang and headed towards Xu County.
It's not that Yang Xiu has no safety awareness, but that Yang Xiu is more concerned about whether he will be intercepted and killed by "unknown" bandits on the road...
Anyway, this kind of thing happened frequently in the Han Dynasty. Even Yuan Shao did this a few years ago, so Yang Xiu was not completely sure that Cao Cao would not do this.
After all, this time bringing the so-called Da Qin and the poisonous envoy, although there are some benefits to Cao Cao, but more of them will actually bring trouble to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is ruthless, he will do everything he wants...
Therefore, Yang Xiu was very cautious. It was precisely because of this that the entire queue moved very slowly. Especially after the three thousand soldiers and horses were taken away by Cao Cao, Yang Xiu became even slower. This slowness also caused Fu Dian to
It was really unbearable, and there was no way to persuade or order, so I had no choice but to leave on my own.
As for worries about the plague, to be honest, Yang Xiu had no awareness of this. After all, for the nobles who were born and raised in the Han Dynasty, everything in front of them was so "Han Dynasty", whether it was war or hygiene habits, perhaps only a little
It was under the rule of General Fei Qian, who seemed to be a bit of a germaphobe, that there were so many "feces inspections" specializing in the management of feces and urine.
Because these retired veterans serve as patrols in the city, they are not only responsible for arresting thieves and gangsters, but also correcting hygiene habits. Some are even fined and sentenced to hard labor for urinating in the street, so they are called "feces patrols" behind the scenes.
, Yang Xiu smiled at such a title at first and didn't take it seriously, but after arriving in Luoyang, Yang Xiu suddenly felt that these "dung inspections" by Fei Qian's men were actually really necessary.
At least the streets won't stink so much!
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is basically the situation. Before there was no strict inspection and implementation of "dung inspection", people would contribute some yellow and white things on both sides of the streets and in the corners of the alleys from time to time, because
It is a public place, so except for the 30 and 14 who will send some laborers to clean it up, there is basically no one to take care of it the rest of the time.
Why thirty and fourteen?
This is because the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is a grand meeting of the imperial court. It is customary for county governors from all over the country to hold meetings on this day. It is a better choice to clean the ground one day in advance.
Of course, even in later generations, street corners and inconspicuous bushes, especially at night, often became places where some people spewed excrement wantonly. This living habit was actually passed down from our ancestors.
of……
Yang Xiu saw it and made plans in his mind, but he didn't say anything. Most of the time, he smiled and looked like a gentle gentleman. However, Marcus was originally a talker, and he originally wanted to go to the big man.
Going to see the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the capital city of the Han Dynasty, I inevitably had higher expectations. However, when I arrived at Luoyang, the capital of the original Daxing Dynasty, I saw at first glance that it was devastated and had not yet been fully restored. This gap was inevitably a little jarring.
Going further to Xu County, Marcus became a little unsure. He came close to Yang Xiu and whispered: "Wo said, the mud must go to the place where the big, big and good mud door returns to the ground.
?”
Although the pitch of what Marcus said was not very good, Yang Xiu still understood it, nodded and said: "Yes, I am going to meet with His Majesty the Emperor..."
"But..." Marcus turned his head and looked around, and then said hesitantly, "The mud door is on the ground, and the feet of Xixuan are in the place where the eyes are... The door knocker is on the mud door, and Xixuan is close?"
Yang Xiu smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Marcus couldn't get an answer from Yang Xiu, so he smacked his lips twice, shook his head and muttered, "...It's better to go to Shen'an Hao, Shen'an and Hao... Wo Jue will have to be the general to return the land with Xiang."
…”
Yang Xiu frowned slightly and rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.
After walking again and again, we finally approached Xu County.
The soldiers who had greeted them had already arrived on horseback. Some of them turned back to report, and some of them followed Yang Xiu and others' queue and raised the flag...
Marcus looked around. He had seen the elite cavalry of the Hussars General Fei Qian. Naturally, he looked down upon these men wearing leather armor and riding thin horses. He felt a little panicked in his heart. Maybe he had been deceived.
Already?
After seeing Xu County from a distance and appraising its size, Marcus was completely dumbfounded.
"Aha?" Marcus looked at Yang Xiu and couldn't believe his eyes. He pointed forward and said, "This... this... this is fine..."
"Smooth, just fine..." Yang Xiu also imitated Marcus's pronunciation and said, then paused slightly and added in a low voice, "This is just a temporary palace... The temporary palace is temporary, do you understand?"
"Oh..." Marcus suddenly understood and nodded, "Then you have to go back after returning the mud door? Go back to the general?"
Yang Xiu said vaguely: "Maybe..."
Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Understood, let's go to the front line to fight the barbarians, and meet the great Caesar... Mumen Huidi is very brave!"
Yang Xiu's eyes almost popped out, and he couldn't explain to Marcus that this was actually the most prosperous and prosperous area of the Han Dynasty, and these emperors were not fighting against any barbarians, so they could only be vague.
After fooling him, he led Marcus and his party into Xu County under the welcome of Man Chong.
After lowering his psychological standards from the capital of the Han Dynasty to the frontline barracks, Marcus obviously felt much better, and he couldn't help but spill the beans about Man Chong who came to greet him: "Wo brought many valuable things to Mu Men Huodi.
Will returning the mud door to the ground make the nest more valuable... What about Jiao Sen... Is there more to come back anyway?"
"..." Man Chong was speechless, so he had to pretend not to understand, and first arranged for Yang Xiu and others to stay.
No matter what, it is a big deal for foreign envoys to come to see you. Naturally, you cannot just meet them casually and end it like this. So there are still many things to arrange, including the etiquette of the visit.
We also need to talk to these envoys from Fan Bang to avoid making any jokes.
However, judging from the first impression, Man Chong had a headache and seemed to have a bad premonition...
Liu Xie didn't care whether Man Chong had a headache or not. He had been immersed in the joy of Fan Bang's congratulations for the past two days, and even the smile that had rarely appeared on his face during this period appeared from time to time.
From the ninth year of Xiping to the fifth year of Yanping, how many years have passed...
However, they all have the word "flat", right?
Maybe this is an instruction from God?
As for the big Han hussar who sent these foreign envoys, Liu Xie thought about it and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. All kinds of thoughts in his heart were mixed together, and they were so complex that they were difficult to express...
...This is an insignificant dividing line...
Liu Xie was not the only one who had complicated thoughts about the Han Husband. Liu Biao in Jingxiang also had complicated thoughts. This feeling, perhaps to some extent, is similar to that of Liu Biao from the Foreign Languages Department of West Lake Normal University.
The teacher is almost the same.
I think back then, that cat and dog were just a soldier under my command...
The vicissitudes of time make people grow old.
I am old.
Liu Biao sat quietly, looking up at the sky.
During this period of time, he had the bronze mirrors removed from all the rooms, and at one point he even wanted to remove Cai's dressing mirror, but in the end, only one piece was left.
Because Liu Biao found that his aging face was so ugly and unsightly. He was unwilling to admit that he was aging, but he had to accept this cruel fact.
When people age, the speed is very fast, so fast that people seem to be caught off guard.
The year before last, I seemed to be able to touch each other's thighs with Liu Bei, saying that I hadn't mounted a horse for a long time and had grown fat. But this year, I suddenly found that it was so difficult to even mount a horse...
When the seasons change, the soreness in the muscles and bones of the limbs, shoulders and knees keeps Liu Biao awake all night.
The kind of soreness is like countless bugs hiding in the gaps between the bones. It is sore, swollen and painful. It creaks when you move, and it seems that your limbs may fall off at any time.
Liu Biao used to love drinking, and Sanya Drinking was once a popular affair in Jingxiang, but now, it seems that it has not been held for a long time...
Without drinking, his muscles and bones ached, but with drinking, he could only be numb for a while, and then the pain became even worse, and he could not even get up from the bed. Forced to have no choice, Liu Biao had to quit drinking.
My energy is gradually declining, and sometimes I even doze off in the Government Affairs Office during the day! (Notes in this chapter)
Liu Biao sighed and put the crown back on. The hairpin got stuck several times but could not be fixed. In the end, it almost stuck to his scalp before he put the crown on properly. He walked out of the side hall and came to the main hall.
.
"Come, go and invite your father-in-law..." Liu Biao ordered his men.
The fact that General Han Zhengxi was officially conferred the title of Hussar of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Liu Xie has always been weighing on his heart like a heavy stone.
The key is that this stone will grow bigger on its own!
Before, he was just General Zhonglang, then General Zhengxi, and now he is General Hussar. What will happen next...
Liu Biao was quite overwhelmed.
After all, Fei Qian was married to the Jingxiang Huang family, and then the Jingxiang Huang family was married to the Cai family. In addition, the Pang family had a master-disciple relationship. Liu Biao even sometimes dreamed at night, dreaming of a sky rising above his city.
Tricolor flag!
Then he turned over and sat up, sweating profusely.
From the day he entered Jingzhou, Liu Biao consciously began to use other personnel to suppress and split the huge Jingxiang gentry group, such as using Kuai, using Gan Ning and other foreign generals, or letting Wenpin
As the guard general of Xiangyang, etc., on the one hand, they used the Jingxiang gentry, and on the other hand, they also prevented and suppressed the Jingxiang gentry.
But now, this balance seems to have been completely tilted, and it is almost unsustainable...
Not long after, Fu Xun arrived and bowed his hands to Liu Biao.
"The minister is here, please take a seat..." Liu Biao smiled and asked Fu Xun to sit down. Then he served some hot soup, dried fruits and snacks, and asked some official matters before speaking slowly.
, "Recently, someone came to the court to persuade a certain person to establish an heir... I wonder how the public would view this matter?"
Fu Xun has been with Liu Biao for a long time. It can be said that after Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, even if he joined Liu Biao's political group, he knew both Liu Biao's temperament and the situation in Jingzhou very well. Therefore, Liu Biao
Upon asking, Fu Xun almost immediately realized that Liu Biao's thoughts seemed to have changed...
Liu Biao originally did not like Liu Qi and preferred Liu Cong. This was not a secret. Fu Xun naturally knew some of it. After all, it is human nature for parents to love their youngest sons. It is also for the sake of the family to have stricter requirements for the eldest son. These are all
There is no problem, but Liu Biao wanted to pass the throne to Liu Cong before, so it has never been clearly stated who the heir is. Although according to convention, the default is Liu Qi, but Liu Biao no matter where he is in public or in private gatherings
, have not made a clear statement on this issue, and their attitude has always been very vague.
So after Liu Qi led the troops to Sichuan and Shu, especially after the military progress in Sichuan and Shu was unfavorable, most people thought that there was nothing more to say about this matter. Liu Qi was obviously not qualified to be the lord of Jingxiang.
Although Liu Cong may not have much military or political talent, his bloodline is half of the Jingxiang gentry, so...
But now Fu Xun feels that Liu Zhan seems to be more inclined to Liu Qi now. Just because if he passes it to Liu Qi, he may also confront the Hussars General, and Liu Cong is basically a no-brainer.
"Be careful when it comes to your heir..." Fu Xun pondered and said slowly, "If the lord makes a decision, Xun will stick to it..."
"To be fair, I am hesitant..." Liu Biao sighed slightly, "I know the sincerity of my husband, so I asked you... I hope that I will not worry about it and tell you frankly...
"
Fu Xun held up his hands and said he didn't dare. After a moment of silence, he still said: "My lord, if you choose an heir, you should think long-term... After all, the heir will inherit the legacy..."
Actually speaking, Fu Xun also felt a little pity for Liu Biao. The land of Jingxiang may be said to be very good, but some people may not accept it, but it is not bad at all. However, the foundation that Liu Biao has worked hard for these years has come to an end, but
It was about to fall into the hands of outsiders. Liu Qi was trapped in Sichuan and Shu, and it was clear that General Hussar was preparing rare goods to live in. Liu Cong, who stayed in Xiangyang, stood closely with the Cai family of Jingxiang...
So Fu Xun could only give a rough idea and let Liu Biao decide which one to pass it on to...
Anyway, the two sons seem to be his own in name, and they seem to be safe for the time being, but in fact it seems that no matter which one is given, they will most likely fall into the hands of others in the future.
"Besides, if my lord is interested, I might as well give it to..." Fu Xun glanced at Liu Biao and whispered, "Send a letter to General Hussar... After all, there was some degree of friendship back then..." Your son is on the other side.
You have it in your hands. Even if you have any ideas, you have to solve this problem first...
Liu Biao closed his eyes, took a long breath, and exhaled slowly.
This big man is riding a horse...
Liu Biao couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
