Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 380
Badong County, Yongan (Zigui)
Welcomed by Chen Dao, Liu Chan and others moved into the small Yong'an Palace that had been away for ten years. The old Liu's instructive words from the past emerged in Liu Chan's mind.It's a pity that we got along too short and couldn't learn more from him.

Thinking about the scene of Tuogu at that time, Liu Chan couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Ten years ago, Lao Liu handed over the precarious big man to himself. At that time, the big man was in trouble at home and abroad, and the land was only a state, and the people in the country were strange; ten years later, he came here with a strong man. At that time, the Han Dynasty governed three states, with more than [-] armored soldiers, and the army was mighty.

If Lao Liu saw this scene, I don't know how he would feel!

Liu Chan caressed the familiar yet unfamiliar wooden fence. Ten years have passed, and the wooden fence has been eroded and cracked by the years and wind and rain.But I have already entered the prime of life, in the prime of life.

Chen Dao, who was accompanying him behind, thought that Liu Chan was dissatisfied with the simplicity of Yong'an Palace, and said: "Your Majesty, after the death of the late emperor, the imperial court cut down expenses in order to save money, so they no longer maintained Yong'an Palace. Last month, Your Majesty wanted to go to the alliance. The minister sent people to maintain the Yong'an Palace, and the time was short, if there is any shortage, please forgive me for the crime of dereliction of duty."

Liu Chan waved his hands disapprovingly, and said with a smile, "I'm not a pleasure-seeking person. I'm also quite tired of the wind and cold in Longyou and the fatigue of marching. It's very good to live in Yong'an Palace today, so why ask for more."

Hearing this, Chen Dao became more and more respectful. Although he was in the eastern frontier and guarding Zigui, he still cared about the imperial court.I admire the actions of this majesty in front of me.See you today, just like the rumors.

Liu Chan walked along the wooden fence, looking at the river, and asked, "Chen Qing has been stationed in Yong'an for a long time, how old is he?"

Chen Dao arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the fourth year of Jianxing (226), the Prime Minister was preparing to go to the Northern Expedition to rebel against the Wei Dynasty. He wanted to move the army to Hanzhong, so he ordered me to take over as Da Si Nong (Li Yan). The white scorpion soldiers have been stationed in Yong'an for six years!"

As the name suggests, the white scorpion soldiers are all marked with white bird feathers and animal feathers.

At that time, Lao Liu entered Yizhou to recruit soldiers and horses. He asked people to recruit ethnic minorities from the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.At that time, there was no name of Bai Mubing, and the soldiers did not bear the tradition of Bai Mubing.

Then one day, when Lao Liu, a craftsman, was bored in the army, someone offered a yak tail to Lao Liu.Lao Liu, who still has the skills of weaving straw sandals, conveniently tied yak tails together, and the Yizhou barbarians have the habit of carrying yaks as decorations. This ethnic minority recruited on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was named Baibing.

It's a pity that this group of soldiers was too elite and there were not many of them. At the beginning, Zhuge Liang asked Li Yan to recruit some elite barbarians from Badi to enrich the Baima soldiers.

Liu Chan patted the wooden fence and sighed: "It's a pity that the fierce general Ruishi lived in Yong'an for six years. I don't know if Chen Qing sighed because of this?"

"I don't dare. Although the Han and Wu have been safe for a long time, Yong'an is also an important place, so we must be prepared. Therefore, it is very important for the minister to accompany the army in the northern expedition, or to stay here to guard. Besides, no matter who you are, you are serving the country. How can you sigh because of this!" Chen Dao said seriously.

Liu Chan laughed loudly, and praised: "Chen Qing's words can make the Eastern Frontier of the Han Dynasty worry-free!"

After a pause, Liu Chan said meaningfully: "Although Qing has lived here for a long time, there will always be a place for Qing to show his prestige."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions are different, could it be that His Majesty wants to...

Liu Chan glanced at everyone, as if he knew what they were thinking, and said with a slight smile: "This time we will go to the alliance with Lord Wu and we will need Uncle Zhi's guards."

"This is what I should do!"

Liu Chan turned around and looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and asked, "Where is Lord Wu, can the people of Wu report?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu has been in Xiling for more than three days, waiting for His Majesty to inform you of the place of the alliance." Chen Dao said.

Liu Chan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Quan to come so long in advance, this kind of attitude is rare, it doesn't seem like the big man is at fault, but he is at fault, which is a bit strange.

Liu Chan's gaze fell on Deng Zhi and Liao Li, and asked: "Bo Miao and Gong Yuan are often sent as envoys to Soochow, so they know the character of Lord Wu. I wonder what you two think Lord Wu intends to do with this move?"

The two pondered for a long time after hearing the words, Deng Zhi said: "I think that the fact that Master Wu is young is impressive."

"What's the matter?"

"When I was on an envoy to Jiangdong, I heard anecdotes about Master Wu and the late Wu Da Sima Lu Fan Junchen. Before Lord Wu became the magistrate of Yangxian County, Lu Fan was in charge of Jiangdong's finances. There are deficiencies, so I often look for Lu Fan in private, hoping that he will allocate money and food, but Lu Fan never agrees, but reports to Sun Diuni (Sun Ce), and then promises Lord Wu."

"Later, when Lord Wu became the magistrate of Yangxian County, he ordered Cao Zhou Gu to be in charge of Yangxian County's financial accounts. Lord Wu often took money from the county for his own use. Sun Qiuni didn't know about it! , but the meritorious Cao Zhou Gu was dismissed, and Lu Fan was reused."

Deng Zhi stroked her beard and talked eloquently, expounding her own views, and said.

"The old minister thinks that Master Wu is both good and evil, selfish and playful, and he is very arrogant, but he has self-knowledge. When he is in charge of important affairs, he can restrain his selfish desires and know others well. From this point of view, Wu Lord is not respectful in nature. Modesty, if you do something like this today, I'm afraid you need something from me."

Liu Chan nodded slightly. Since the time travel, he put himself in the shoes of the two opponents.Therefore, I still have a good understanding of Sun Quan's character. As Deng Zhi said, Sun Quan's character is both good and evil.

But if analyzed in practice, Sun Quan's nature is indeed like this.Before proclaiming himself emperor, because Jiangdong was often in the wind and rain, he was able to restrain his selfish desires, forge ahead, listen to advice, open up territories, and endure what ordinary people can't bear.

And after proclaiming himself emperor, that is, in these years, as the overall situation has been settled, it can be found that Sun Quan's actions have become more and more lazy, and he has gradually lost his style of courtesy and corporal.It became more serious in his later years, triggering a dispute between the two palaces and wantonly killing domestic officials, which is frightening.

Now it is obvious that the big man did something sorry, but Sun Quan backed down. If Sun Quan had no tricks in his heart, I am afraid this is a strange place.

As for Liu Chan's own personality, he is also clear about his empathy ability. In his previous life, he was a commoner and could not see the suffering of the common people.Coupled with the issue of the big man's court situation, he usually has the desire to restrain himself in his actions.

After all, who would like to farm, there are so many young ladies in the palace, so it doesn't look good!It's not all because of the sense of responsibility on the shoulders, it's a last resort.So Liu Chan can also understand Sun Quan's character, and the issue of rights has exposed Sun Quan's character.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and ordered: "Tomorrow, Lao Wenwei will go to Soochow to finalize the place of the alliance. Shuzhi and Ziji (Fu Xun), you two cooperate with each other, arrange the alliance guards, and spread scouts widely to prevent The Wu people are doing unruly things."

"No!" Everyone responded.
