Zhang Chun's memorial arrived in Luoyang the next day, but it was thrown out by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. It was picked up by Xiao Huangmen and thrown into the floor heating boiler to be burned as firewood. He didn't even bother to look at it.
While Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was dealing with this matter, in Anshun Township, Puyin County, Jizhou, in the evening, Chen Mu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were burning firewood in the open space at the entrance of the village.
Two big fat hares were also roasted on the fire. The rabbits were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The fat was all over the body, dripping onto the firewood and making a sizzling sound.
At present, the families of the two rabbits are in a stable mood, because the rabbit nest has been taken away in one pot, and the other few rabbits are going to be raised first, and they will consider whether to braise or steam them when they grow older.
"Those flies are really annoying, and they are not clean during the Chinese New Year. Brother, according to me, why don't I take people to beat up and drive away those losers? They hang around in front of me all day long. They are annoying.
Dead people."
Zhang Fei smelled the aroma of roasted rabbit and glanced at the 500 regular soldiers and horses encamped not far away to monitor Chenjia Village, and lost his appetite at all.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Don't worry about them, just pretend they don't exist."
"It looks annoying."
Zhang Fei bared his teeth and looked at the group of people with a fierce look on his face.
Chenjia Village also organized dozens of village strongmen, all with weapons around them. They each lit a fire and guarded the entrance to the village. Under Chen Mu's command, several people were posted on guard posts and hidden posts at night, watching the people with vigilance.
Help the soldiers.
Although the officers and soldiers sent by Zhang Chun were large in number and well-trained, their combat effectiveness was far inferior to those of the powerful Zhang family.
But the bravery of Liu, Guan, and Zhang is unmatched by anyone in the world. In addition, Liu Bei has just distributed the fields to the people of Puyin County. When his prestige is at its peak, if he goes to the county seat to cheer up, he will be able to pull it off immediately.
Thousands of troops were sent out to slaughter all these soldiers.
However, the two sides were only confronting each other, and there was no direct conflict.
After all, there is a reason to kill corrupt officials, landlords and bullies, but there is no reason to kill these soldiers.
They were just stationed outside the village, monitoring everyone, and did not take action. If Liu Bei gathered his troops to attack them, Liu Bei would be the one to blame. At that time, there would be no room for maneuver. He would either flee to the end of the world, or be captured and taken to Luoyang for trial.
A third path is optional.
"Brother, mother said that the brothers should go back and rest early."
The little girl named Chen Feng was six or seven years old. She had perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents. She was very cute and cute. She ran out of the village with her eyes wide open and shouted to her brothers.
"How are father and Azhi doing?"
Chen Mu touched the little girl's head and held her in his arms. After not seeing Ah Feng for a year, she seemed to be a little taller and her face seemed to be a little whiter after washing her face.
Chen Feng lowered his voice and twisted the corner of his clothes: "Dad just took the medicine and his forehead is still a little hot. He is just lying down now. My second brother can already get off the ground, but he can't walk quickly because he says his body hurts."
"I see."
Chen Mu's face turned slightly pale, and the heat on his body meant that the body's immune system was heating up to kill the virus. It seemed that the wound was still infected.
In the era without anti-inflammatory drugs, once a wound became infected, it meant a very high mortality rate. There was no way other than relying on your own immune system to fight it off.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?"
Liu Bei saw something wrong with his face and asked with concern.
Chen Mu touched his sister's little head and forced a smile: "It's okay."
"What's wrong?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came over.
Chen Mu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I'm just worried about Ye Ye's body."
Telling them about viruses or bacteria is nothing more than fantasy.
Liu Bei pondered: "I heard that there is a miracle doctor named Hua Tuo in Pei State. He has superb medical skills. Maybe he can do something."
"Where can we find him in this huge sea of people? And Zhang Chun won't let us leave Zhongshan Kingdom."
Chen Mu glanced at the soldiers stationed in the distance with hatred. If something happened to his father, he would definitely follow Dong An's example and take Zhang Chun's head as a memorial.
"I'll go."
Liu Bei stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I can be considered a prince now. Before the emperor issues a criminal edict, Zhang Chun can't touch me."
"Brother, we will go with you."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also stood up.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Just follow your fourth brother to prevent Zhang Chun from messing around."
Chen Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, brother, Pei State is too far away. It will only be a month or two before we find Hua Tuo. If something happens to Ye Ye, we won't be able to insist on Hua Tuo coming."
Pei State is in Yanzhou, although Yanzhou is just south of Jizhou and borders the territory of Jizhou, but Zhongshan State is in the north of Jizhou, and Pei State is in the middle of Yanzhou.
According to the geographical location of later generations, one is in Wan County, Hebei, and the other is in Pei County, Zaozhuang. The two places are more than 600 kilometers apart. This is still a new era with highways. If it was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it might take 1,500 to go all the way.
A journey of more than 100 miles would take more than a month to go back and forth, not to mention having to find someone.
Moreover, it is said that Hua Tuo often practiced medicine all over the country, sometimes going to Qingzhou, sometimes going to Yuzhou, sometimes going to Yangzhou, and the farthest one even went to Jiaozhou.
Because at this time, Jiaozhou was a barren land with countless snakes, insects, rats, ants, and poisonous miasma, but Lingnan produced medicinal herbs, so many doctors and herbal collectors went there to search for medicinal herbs.
If Hua Tuo happened to be out of town at this time, then Liu Bei's trip would be in vain and a waste of time.
Liu Bei advised: "You must try, you must have hope."
Chen Mu insisted: "If the distance is close, I will definitely fight with Zhang Chun to bring Hua Tuo. But we are thousands of miles away, this trip is nothing but a waste of time, meaningless, and we don't know yet
How will the emperor deal with our affairs? If we leave Zhongshan Kingdom now, some people may say that my brother is absconding in fear of crime, which will implicate the eldest brother."
Liu Bei was dissatisfied: "What did you say, fourth brother? Your father is just like my father. Even if the emperor issues an edict, at worst he will be taken to Luoyang. I will bear all the blame."
Chen Mu opened his mouth, wanting to say some words of relief, but the look on his face eventually turned into apologetic bitterness: "I'm sorry, brother, it was my impulsiveness that caused you trouble. If I had known, I would just put that Zhang's family and
Magistrate Bai just gave him a good beating, and no one should be killed. But the moment I saw my father's miserable state, I lost my mind."
"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?"
Liu Bei showed a smile like a spring breeze and said in a gentle tone: "You and I are brothers, four of us are one. Your father is my father, so there is no difference between us. The worst is to abandon our official position and title. As long as we brothers are together, even if
I am also willing to be a Bai Ding."
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "What the elder brother is saying is that if the emperor is so unkind and ignores the fact that dog officials and bullies are oppressing the people, then what's the point of what this bird official is doing? Why don't we brothers return home to farm?
Can be at ease."
Guan Yu squinted his eyes, unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand, took a swig, wiped his mouth and said: "The third brother is right, if the eldest brother is convicted, I will definitely hijack the prison car, and together with the eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother, we will abandon our official positions and hide our names."
Yes, I have never experienced this kind of life anyway, I have long been used to it."
"It's okay if you don't do this as an official!"
Liu, Guan, and Zhang said in unison, looked at each other, and looked up to the sky laughing.
Chen Mu moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say. His eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and looked up at the gorgeous sunset sky in the evening.
Tai Shigong said, "Everything in the world is bustling for profit; everything in the world is bustling, everything is for profit." Ruthlessness is not limited to the emperor's family. Brothers and sisters can kill each other for family property, and brothers and sisters can fight against each other for power.
Whether it is Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, who learned from the past, or Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, who followed the example, they both proved to the world that family and brotherhood are nothing in the face of power and desire.
He once did not believe that the relationship between people in this world could be so pure and intimate. He thought that the relationship between people in the world was nothing more than a conflict of interests. You used me and I used you, and both parties got what they needed. There was no real relationship.
friendship.
This is the normal state of human beings, so why should we expect to have a sincere relationship?
Now he believes it.
That year the peach blossoms were in full bloom, drinking and laughing.
That day of worshiping the emperor and the queen of heaven was a clear proof.
Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, and ten years of rain in the rivers and lakes.
One generation, four brothers.
If life can be like this, why should we say that we have other demands?
