Chapter 246 Name

Liu Jing's trip to the four counties in the east took more than half a month, and half of the time was spent on the mountain road in Ancheng. It was the end of March.

After many days, Liu Jing saw his son again and found that he had undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer looked weak and weird when he was just born. The cute belly button is nestled tightly in Deng Yuan's arms, and a pair of big black eyes are staring at Liu Jing full of curiosity.

Deng Yuan hugged his son, his face was clearly that of a girl, but it exuded the brilliance of motherhood.After giving birth to Liu Qi, she changed back to an oval face, and her figure is still plump. However, she is still in the filial piety period and does not eat fish, so she should be able to restore her previous figure soon.

Seeing Liu Jing's eagerness to hug his son, Deng Yuan couldn't help but smile knowingly, and while handing the baby to her husband, said: "Liu Lang, I gave Qi'er a nickname, 'A Yang'. "

Liu Jing took his son carefully, and he was slightly startled when he heard the words: "Shaojun is taken from "Peng Peng, the flag is Yangyang"?" In order to name my son, I read the "Book of Songs" and immediately thought of it.

"Yes." Deng Yuan nodded lightly, "What does Liu Lang think of this nickname?"

"Ah Yang...it's very pleasing to the ear, so let's call it this nickname." Naturally, Liu Jing would not refute his wife's decision. He looked down at his son who was quietly lying in his arms, and his heart was full of love. Feeling love, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed, and he said to Deng Yuan: "Although Ah Yang can't speak, he is quite understanding. He knows that I am his father and will not hurt him, so he is very safe in my arms."

Deng Yuan was quite dumbfounded when he heard the words, her husband also took it for granted, how can a baby who is less than one month old know so much.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Qi urinated on Liu Jing and cried loudly.

Liu Jing suddenly became one head and two older. Although he has been a man in two lives, it is the first time he is a father, so he can only hand Liu Qi to the maidservants such as A Shu and A Luan standing beside him.

In the next few days, Liu Jing worked hard to learn to be a qualified father.Of course, the real dirty work is done by his own maid, so he doesn't need to do it himself.But even so, he didn't feel relaxed at all, as long as he was in the house, there would always be endless things to do.

…………

In March, Yuan Shao finally broke through Yi Jing, destroyed Gongsun Zan, and annexed his army.

This battle, which will determine the future of the North, has been going on and on for seven or eight years.For Yuan Shao, this is too long. If he can end this war two or three years earlier, the world will have no suspense.

Although he missed the best opportunity, Yuan Shao is still the most powerful prince in the world.

He ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan, second son Yuan Xi, and nephew Gao Gan to lead Qing, You, and Bing three prefectures, intending to go south to the Central Plains and attack Cao Cao.

In April, in the face of increasing pressure from the north, Cao Cao decided to act first. He led his army northward to the Yellow River, and sent troops to capture Hanoi on the north bank of the Yellow River as a bridgehead.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the war is imminent.

…………

On April [-]th, Liu Jing held a grand banquet to celebrate his son Liu Qi's "full moon". Absentees.

On April [-]th, Liu He packed his bags and prepared to go to Leiyang to study under Huanyi's school.

Mrs. Zhang is usually harsh and harsh to others, but this time she cried so much that all the make-up on her face was wiped off.Liu He has never left her side since he was a child, and when he thinks that his son will take at least two or three years to come back, he feels very sad.

Liu He felt his mother's reluctance and deep love, and shed tears unknowingly. He knelt down in the tunnel and said, "My son has been naughty since he was a child, and I made my mother worry about it. Now that I am worshiping under Huanjun, my mother should be happy for my son." After my son leaves, I hope my mother will take care of her health, only in this way can I study in Leiyang with peace of mind."

Mrs. Zhang pulled Liu He up, choked with sobs and said, "Ah Ruo should study at ease, don't worry about me."

Liu Rao tugged on Liu He's sleeve and cried, "Brother, you have to come back quickly. If you come back late, I'll get married."

Liu Rao is 14 years old this year. Normally speaking, he can marry and be a woman now.

The decision on this matter is in the hands of Liu Jing. He has no intention of letting his sister marry early. As a modern person, he is more aware of the dangers of women's early marriage and early childbearing than anyone else, so he decided to wait two or three years before talking about it.

Liu He laughed and cried: "Don't worry, if you want to get married, you must get my consent. If I don't agree, you don't want to get married."

Liu Rao cried until pear blossoms were raining, and wrinkled his nose and said: "My husband, I just agree, I don't need your consent."

"Wuuu...Little uncle, I don't want you to go..." Liu Qun, who was combing his horns, threw himself on Liu He and cried loudly. In terms of feelings, his feelings for Liu He were even better than Liu Jing. After all, Liu Jing was too busy, and Liu He was the one who stayed by his side day and night.

Deng Yuan and Lai Ci stood aside, watching the scene in front of them, with tears in their eyes.

Liu He bid farewell to the two sister-in-laws respectively, and finally came to Liu Jing and said, "This time I am going out to study and meet people. I can't be without words. Brother, please take the words for me."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, and said: "At the beginning, my father chose the word for you, which came from "Zhou Li Tian Guan Da Situ": "Teach the people with the three things of the village and make them prosperous. One said six virtues: knowledge , benevolence, sage, righteousness, loyalty, and harmony." From these six characters, I will take a word for 'righteousness' and make it your character, 'Wenyi', and you will be called 'Liu Wenyi' from now on."

"Liu Wenyi..." Liu He nodded heavily, and said, "This name is good and catchy, thank you brother for giving me the word."

Because Liu He is studying, it is not appropriate to follow too many people around, and the stepmother Zhang wants to send more child servants and maidservants to take care of her son's daily life, but her proposal was unanimously opposed by Liu Jing and Liu He.

In the end, Liu He only brought Song Jin with him.This son is the second son of Song Liang, a guest of Liu's family, he is one year older than Liu He, he still looks handsome when he was young, but he is seven feet tall, he looks like an adult.

In the past few years, with Liu Jing's continuous rise, Song Jin did not bury his head in the fields like his elder brother Song Gu, but became Liu He's personal servant. Learning swordsmanship, inseparable all day long, the relationship is more profound.

Liu He adjusted his clothes and towels, stood outside the house, and finally bowed deeply to his family members, then took Song Jin, boarded the carriage, and gradually went away under the watchful eyes of Liu Jing's family.

…………

Time flies, and the green rice seedlings in the field gradually grow up, turning from yellow-green to golden yellow. You can smell the fragrance of rice from a long distance. For the common people, this is the taste of a good harvest. There is nothing more delicious than it.

In August, Liu Jing gave an order, and the whole Ling County was busy with the autumn harvest.

Today's Ling County under Liu Jing's rule extends from Hengshan Township in the north to Zhongshui and Pingyang Townships in the south. Compared with Ling County in the past, the cultivated land has increased by [-] to [-]%. Since the disappearance of the land, the common people can farm with peace of mind without being disturbed by outsiders, so that Ling County has gradually regained the name of "Chu's Granary".

Now Liu Jing is not only the magistrate of Ling County, but also has the post of taking charge of nine counties, so as early as July, he sent letters to Liu Xiu, Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou and others who were stationed abroad. It is necessary to ensure the peace of the autumn harvest in the counties.

Especially Liling, where Cai Sheng is located, is only three hundred miles away from Linxiang, so it is very easy to be harassed by the Jingzhou army.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: "Those who make good use of soldiers use them for the country. Because the food is supplied to the enemy, the army can have enough food."

Although the Jingzhou Army has waterways to transport food, which is relatively convenient, the Jingzhou Army has tens of thousands of people on the water, and their daily needs are not small expenses. For the counties in the north of the Yangtze River, the burden is not light.Therefore, even if Liu Biao insisted on winning the hearts and minds of Changsha's people, he would still lose to the enemy because of food. Apart from Linxiang and southern Hunan, Liling, which is [-] miles away, might not be out of their goal.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Jing to say that Cai Sheng has already made preparations. He has a solid foundation in Liling. He has been stationed in the army for nearly half a year, and his subordinates have expanded to more than [-] people.

During the autumn harvest, he personally led the soldiers to patrol the north every day.And Liu Zhu, who was stationed in Hengshan Township, received Liu Jing's order to lead the navy to the north to support Cai Sheng.

Liu Jing's worries were not superfluous. After the Jingzhou cavalry and navy swept the counties of Linxiang and southern Hunan like locusts, they did not return there. Instead, they continued to go south until they reached the border of Liling and met Cai Sheng's troops.

Cai Sheng kept Liu Jing's advice in mind, and did not rashly start a war with the opponent, but retreated slowly under the cover of Liu Zhu's navy.

A cavalry general with a strong body and a resolute face asked Liu Pan beside him, "Zhong Lang, do you want me to lead the cavalry to charge and kill?"

Liu Pan shook his head and said, "The task given to me by Kuai Changshi was to collect food and fodder, not to fight Liu Jing's army. Liling was not in our plan. Since Liling is prepared, then forget it."

The cavalier frowned and said, "Could it be that we just sit and watch them leave swaggeringly?"

Liu Pan said: "How long has it been since the lesson of Junshi Cai? We have to take it as a warning. If we rashly pursue it, who knows if there are countless enemy soldiers ambushing in dangerous places, waiting for us to fall into the trap. Before I came, I had already I promised Kuai Changshi that I would never underestimate the enemy and advance rashly."

Seeing the cavalry generals couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, Liu Pan knew his psychology. As cavalrymen, they had hardly done anything after going south for a year.

Liu Pan couldn't do anything about it. Jingnan's water network was densely covered, which was not suitable for cavalry combat. In addition, Zhang Xian retreated to Linxiang to defend to the death, so they had no chance to make meritorious service.

"Withdraw..." Liu Pan secretly shook his head.
