Shu Chen

Chapter 71 The latter

It's the end of July.

The climate in Nanzhong is still sultry.

However, the barbarians of the Central Plains in the South are scorched by the scorching sun and are grateful.

Rice is hot by nature, and it is just right to turn the whole field and sow the food for the second season of this year.

The prime minister's garrison in Dianchi County happened to be on the banks of Dianchi Lake, and he stepped out from the tent of the Central Army. There was no need to look at the sight of countless natives and barbarians bowing in the fields.

Breeze came slowly with Daze's slightly moist breath, causing the prime minister, who had been buried in the case for a long time, to be shocked and turn his attention.

But seeing the boundless swamp, spreading between the sky and the earth, the layers of ripples are dizzy with the wind, rippling people's moods.

Fishing boats dart, weaving back and forth, and occasionally faintly heard, the fisherman's thick and melodious chant.

It is exactly "the boat is drifting in the blue waves, and the people are swimming in the painting".

I can't call out a famous bird, and I'm not willing to be lonely.

Fluttering into the air, supporting the wind and soaring, a few stars are gray and white, drawing an elegant trajectory above the water, chasing the white clouds outside the skyline.

This scene is picturesque, serene and distant.

When the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang stopped, he also stretched his brows, repeatedly stroked his beard, and his eyes were deep and deep.

In the past, Ban Biao wrote the words of Emperor Guangwu, "Han has prestige, and he leads all countries in total. When the sun and the moon shine, they are all ministers and concubines."In the past, Emperor Xuan wrote the words "Dinghu Stele", "Everything that the sun and moon shines on is Han soil, and where rivers and rivers come, all are Han officials."
I am a big man for 400 years, a great country, how can I be overwhelmed by rebellious officials and thieves!
Although the current situation is difficult, the revival is difficult, but what can be done!

Today, the South Central has been decided, which is the beginning of the Northern Expedition!

To conquer the Central Plains, to eradicate the traitors, and to restore the Han Dynasty, we should serve wholeheartedly and do our best!

call.
He let out a long sigh of relief and released all his excitement.

Immediately, the Prime Minister held his hands in front of him again, quietly pressing his abdomen, his eyebrows half-closed.

The affairs are cumbersome, and there are too many sleepless nights and food, which makes the previous stomach qi and loss of appetite, and has turned into occasional pain.

He also sought an imperial doctor's order and was told to rest in peace.

However, under the care of the late emperor, can An Neng not repay evil in the night?

Moreover, the late emperor still said that "people who are fifty are not called young", and their life is only a few decades!

Today, the gray hair has grown, the body is old, and the teeth are over forty years old, so why should I cherish my life and waste time, instead of trying to repay the kindness and evil I have encountered? !

But please only fight for the day!
In my lifetime, I will lead the army on the northern expedition, and if I can retake Guanzhong and allow the great Han to return to the old capital, even if I die, I can rest my eyes!

To work hard for Yu Lie's deeds, drive out the traitors, and let the big Han perform the story of "everything the sun and the moon shines on is Han soil, and where rivers and rivers come, all are Han ministers", this is what the latecomers did.

I hope that under the Nine Serenities, I will not take too long to wait for the sacrificial writings of the great Han.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang couldn't help but turn his head slightly, glanced from the corner of his eye, and looked at Huo Yi and Zhao Guang who were accompanying him.

These two people, after both meritorious service and loyalty, are also one of the candidates who will carry the big man on his shoulders and restore the flag of the Central Plains.

They should be in their prime when I die.

If I can retake Guanzhong, they should also be able to recover all parts of the Central Plains.

There is also Zijin, whose talent is even better.
After thinking about it for a while, the Prime Minister's thoughts returned to the original point.

However, this time, he did not frown again, undecided about how Zheng Pu would use it.

With a smile on his lips, he said softly to Huo Yi and Zhao Guang, "You two, go back to the restraint department to pack up, and go to the quarters to get two months' rations, and wait for the military order to be issued."

Well, Huo Yi and Zhao Guang both originated from the legacy of their parents, and the self-raised part has long been over.

The Huo family belonged to the Zhijiang clan in Nan County.

When the world was in turmoil in the past, there were many rioters in Jingzhou.

Huo Jun's elder brother, Huo Du, together with several hundred entourages and Lanxiang Lu, led his troops to return to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Later, when Huo Dutian did not have a holiday, Liu Biao ordered Huo Jun to photograph them.

He died of illness, and his son failed to become a weapon. Huo Jun led his congregation to return to the late emperor Liu Bei, and was named Zhonglang General.

After entering Shu with the expedition, Huo Jun made outstanding contributions and was highly valued by the previous emperor.

Not long after, he died of illness, and Zi Huo Yi was still young.

The late emperor Liu Bei had always been benevolent and righteous, and there was no such thing as winning a general and leading his ministries.

Therefore, when Huo Yi was raised in the mansion, he also temporarily accompanied Huo's family to the forbidden resident guards, so that when Huo Yi became older in the future, he would be granted to him again.

Today, Huo Yi has been conferred a military post and went out to recruit troops. The emperor Liu Shan also gave back all the parts left by his deceased father.

Therefore, Huo Yi only recruited more than [-] people in Zhuti County, and he had [-] works.

Zhao Guang's situation is roughly the same.

His father, Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengnan, followed the late emperor from north to south, not avoiding hardships.

Today, in the love of licking, I have also handed over some of my own parts and the old soldiers who have survived a hundred battles to the young son Zhao Guang, in order to hope that he can serve in a healthy and long life as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Guang's trilogy, although only 300 people.

However, they were exceptionally elite, and even against Huo Yi, who had five hundred troops, he dared to claim to be undefeated.

What is rare is that both of these two sons have a fatherly style.

Huo Yi is generous by nature and judges things fairly; while Zhao Guang is undeniable in virtue, and often hides himself to show the beauty of others, all of which can win people's death.In time, it will be the pillar of the court!
"No! Yi retire."

"No! Ads back."

Huo and Zhao didn't dare to ask any more questions, they quickly bowed their hands after hearing the words, took a few steps back slowly, and turned to leave.

Mid-autumn August.

Yelang County, Yelang County.

The Beipan River, which runs from east to south and transfers to Yulin County, Zhou, meanders from the west of the city, and is called "dun water" by people at this time.

Green and green seedlings have already been dotted in the fields opened along the river, and in the newly opened terraces on the hills and low hills.

The natives and barbarians, after being busy for more than a month, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And Zheng Pu also got a few days of leisure.

Since the rebel flag of Juding County was pulled out, Chen Shi led the army to protect the migrating tribe of scorpions and returned to Chengdu, and Ma Zhong also delegated all the affairs to the assistants who were under his own control.

Zheng Pu and Liu Yin, who had a private army, were appointed by Ma Zhong to Yelang County.

In the name of supervising farming and opening up terraced fields, monitoring and restraining the private actions of the royal family of Gu Yelang.

Such as taking advantage of people's turmoil, devouring fields, recruiting tenants to hide the population, etc.

But Ma Zhong was a little worried.

Yelang Bamboo surnamed, was greatly afraid of the destruction of the Cong four surnames.

Not only did he keep his guard up, he didn't dare to profit from it, but he even donated a lot of food and money to the government in the name of helping the army, claiming his family's loyalty to the imperial court.

But I beg Zheng Pu and others not to find an excuse to turn Yelangzhu's surname into the memory of future generations.

In this regard, Zheng Pu is naturally disrespectful.

With these grains and resources, the local natives and barbarians were recruited to open up terraced fields, which made Yelang scholars happy.

Now that I have free time, I have brought along my entourage, Fu Yi, Zheng Chou and others to have a picnic by the riverside. The right should be to relieve the hostility of the months of expedition.

In particular, he was in a bad mood recently.

After coming to Nanzhong for nearly a year, he finally received a letter from home.

It wasn't that the Nanzhong Commercial Road was opened, or that Shifang Sangyuan's family found a military messenger they could entrust.

It was Liu Yin, who was a monk who raised his own funds. In order to keep the morale of the tribe high, he sent a letter a few days ago to ask his family to help him with some funds, and give them to private soldiers to win people's hearts.

The Liu family is a wealthy family in Shu, and there are many servants and swordsmen.

Therefore, thinking that Zheng Pu and Liu Yin had a good relationship, they notified Zheng Yi, the squire who stayed in the small house in Chengdu, and asked him to go back to Shifang Sangyuan to ask if there was a letter to transfer.

Shifang Mulberry Garden was overjoyed.

He actually sent Zheng Yi to accompany the Liu family caravan to come to Nanzhong to find Zheng Pu.

In addition to the letters from relatives and friends, the items that he brought also included new clothes and shoes for Zheng Pu.The biological mother, Lu Shi, was afraid that Zheng Pu would not be well fed in the army, so she even asked Zheng Yi to bring a few pieces of deer, hog and bacon.

"Book of Changes: Biting Ni" records: "Xi is in the sun and Yang is in the fire, it is called bacon."

Bacon, people with some wealth in Shu will prepare some.

It's just that Zheng Yi brought a lot of them, almost what Shifang Mulberry Garden needs for a year.

Alas, the child travels a thousand miles and the mother is worried.

It also made Zheng Pu look forward to returning to Shu.

The rebellion in Nanzhong has been eliminated, and farming has been completed. I should be transferred to Chengdu, right?

I thought so in my heart, but I haven't seen the order.Even though Zhuge Liang, the prime minister stationed in Dianchi County, had already led his army back to Chengdu a few days ago.
