Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 428 Politics is really troublesome

Gan Qian shook her head and explained: "The eldest lady just came here, she wants to make a dress for Yi'er, and let the concubine check it out for her."

When Liu Bei heard that Sun Shangxiang had come, he put down the little clothes in his heart with mixed feelings, and the original wife became a concubine instead.

Although the three wives belong to Liu Bei's family, they become state affairs when they fall on the head of one party. They are not the wives and concubines of ordinary people now, and there is a huge network of relationships behind them. Sun Shangxiang's mother's family, the Sun family, competes with Liu Bei The opponent, on the contrary, became the most unpopular person.

Considering this reason, Liu Bei deliberately distanced himself for protection, but he didn't expect this proud woman to become friends with Gan Qian.

"The courtiers are very worried about Jiangdong's surprise attack on Jingzhou. Although the two families are reconciled now, the rift still exists. You should try to keep your contact with her as little as possible. After all, Ziyu made Sun Zhongmou suffer a terrible defeat." Liu Bei persuaded.

Gan Qian nodded, "The eldest lady is coming, and I can't stop her. She has lost her vigor after becoming a mother. She looks very kind. She should have parted with the Sun family. After all, she is still a poor woman."

"Adou's academic performance has deteriorated a lot since he arrived in Chengdu. Mr. Siqian is a great Confucian in Sichuan, and his knowledge is very profound." Liu Bei changed the subject.

Gan Qian smiled slightly: "After all, A Dou is too young. I remember that my husband started school very late. A Dou said that Mr. Siqian is not as interesting as Ziyu's teaching, so he has no patience to continue learning. It will not be too late when he is older."

When Liu Bei saw Gan Qian mentioning her studies, she couldn't help but blush in the dark. He was not a studious person when he was young, so it was really hard to impose pressure on A Dou. After much deliberation, he blamed Lantian Tai Neng, and said to himself If you don't curl, can I curl like this?
"Bei is not as good as Ziyu, and A Dou is not as good as Yuan'er and Ji'er. Don't push him too much in the future, Xiaojun." Liu Bei came to his senses at this moment, ready to return the happy childhood to Liu Chan.

Seeing Liu Bei's depressed tone, Gan Qian comforted her, "Don't underestimate yourself, my husband. No matter how smart Ziyu is, she will help you. If Yuan'er and Ji'er are talented enough, they will be able to help A Dou in the future."

"Madam's words are very true." Liu Bei felt very relieved.

Although Gan Qian came from a poor and humble background, she speaks generously and does things well. Liu Bei will feel at ease after chatting with her.

The court meeting ended the next day, and Liu Bei left Zhuge Liang to discuss Pang De's affairs.

After Zhuge Liang analyzed the scriptures together, Liu Bei realized that he was the one who put Pound on the fire. It was a very artistic act to award officials and titles. He decided to be cautious in the future.

"After all, Ling Ming is not Zilong, so he can give up his official position to help me out. Now that the generals in Shuzhong are complaining, what do the military advisers think should be done?" Liu Bei sincerely asked for advice.

"It's hard for Yizhou to be stable. We have to take care of General Shu's emotions. Although General Pang was once a general of Mengqi, he is very careful to return to the Lord. Otherwise, Yide would not recommend it strongly. If he doesn't handle it well, it will easily chill the hearts of the soldiers. " Zhuge Liang frowned.

Liu Bei agreed: "I'm worried about this. Ling Ming is loyal and brave. He will inevitably make contributions to Yide. It would be a pity if he left it in a spare place and discarded it. If it is handed over to Jingzhou's second brother, I'm afraid Meng Qi will do something bad." Thoughts, it’s really a dilemma.”

Zhuge Liang nodded in thought: "At the same time, if we want to satisfy General Shu not to complain, Meng Qi not to doubt, and General Pang not to be sad, it is so difficult, how about sending him to Jiaozhou?"

"Jiaozhou? There is no war there, will Ling Ming think too much?" Liu Bei asked.

"Jiaozhou borders Yangzhou, and Shi Xie is only submissive on the surface. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no use for him. In addition, Ziyu is kind to him, so Ling Ming has absolutely no complaints. Moreover, Ziyu and Meng Qi have a good relationship, so that we can balance all parties. demand." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"This arrangement is really wonderful, but Ziyu already has Gao Boping, how can the rest shine?" Liu Bei still couldn't forget Gao Shun.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The light cannot be hidden, has the lord forgotten Gan Xingba? He is also in charge of himself in Changsha now."

"It makes sense. It just so happens that Song Chen is in Chengdu, so they can still go together." Liu Bei nodded.

"My lord, you can ask General Pang to bring a letter to ask Ziyu to catch more seafood this year, saying that Yide has not eaten enough at all, and Liang has made a lot of IOUs recently." Zhuge Liang reminded.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The military advisers are Zhang Liang and Chen Ping of Bei. The world can still be divided, let alone the little oysters?"

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Zhuge Liang smiled wryly.

Pang De originally thought he would return to Langzhong as soon as possible, but ended up lingering in Chengdu for half a month, and Liu Bei transferred him to Jiaozhou, which made him very puzzled. Jiaozhou is remote and adjacent to the sea. He is good at cavalry combat. It's because I don't know how to swim yet, so I'm a little unconfident.

Brother Pang Rou was delighted when he found out, he called Ma Dai to see him off, and comforted him with kind words: "General Lan is an amazing person, and he has given us a great kindness, so it is a good thing for him to repay his kindness."

Ma Dai added: "Brother has a very high opinion of General Lan. It must be a worthwhile trip to Jiaozhou. Don't be afraid of the remoteness and miasma. The genius doctor Hua Tuo is also there."

Pound nodded, "General Yide often mentions that I also want to see what kind of existence that lecture hall is. I don't care whether Jiaozhou is prosperous or not."

Pang Rou instructed: "General Lan is the eldest son's uncle. Although he doesn't usually show off, his status in my lord's heart is almost equal to that of the two generals Guan and Zhang. We must try our best to be friends when we arrive in Jiaozhou."

"I can save it, this politics is really troublesome, not as refreshing as war." Pound replied helplessly.

At the beginning of March in the 21st year of Jian'an, Pang De and Song Chen returned to Jiaozhou on a merchant ship. They went down the Yangtze River to Jiangling first, met the old master Ma Chao, and then went south to Dongting and entered Xiangshui.

Ma Chao blamed himself for Hanzhong's leaving without saying goodbye, and finally told Pound to keep a low profile in front of Lantian, and to do his best to help him.

After entering Sichuan, everything he saw and heard made Pang De full of interest in Lantian, wondering who is this Mr. Xuanxiao?
Pang De was born in Xiliang and is used to the cold, so he usually wears thick clothes instead of thin ones. Song Chentian, who sailed in the south and north, was familiar with the weather in various places and seasons. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he took off his heavy winter clothes. , Feel the warm breath of spring with your body.

"Shopkeeper Song, you are not afraid of the wind and cold entering your body with such thin clothes?" Song Chen sat on the bow and basked in the sun, and Pang De came out of the cabin and asked curiously.

Song Chen said with a smile: "General Pang doesn't know that the merchant ships have entered Lishui now, and Jiaozhou is very warm in spring and March. If you wear such thick clothes, you will get sick from the heat."

"I'll take it off when it's really hot." Pound felt a little dry, so he paced back and forth on the deck.

"Seeing that you are fidgeting, you should take off some clothes. Although I cheated Yang Song badly, I won't lie to my own people." Song Chen smiled wryly.

Pang De shook his head, "Yang Song is purely greedy. I'm not uneasy because I'm hot, but I'm a little excited to see General Lan soon. What kind of person is he?"
