Chapter 608 Conditioning
In June, the camp of the Han army.

Cao Rui led his army to the north of the Feishui River, and confronted the Han across the river.After Tian Yu returned to the army, he led his army south to confront Wei Yan in Dongxiang.As for the Shu Han, Wu Ban was the only one who supported the two soldiers and horses and ordered Jufu to go south to Fancheng to clamp down on Puzhong's troops on the southern line.

For a while, the Han and Wei countries were not sure about completely defeating the enemy, so they fell into a confrontation, trying to find each other's weaknesses.At the same time, they all set their sights on Sun Quan in the south, hoping that he could send troops to break this situation.

At this moment, a thunderbolt news came that Zhuge Liang, who had been busy with the military for a long time, fell ill.

Liu Chan hurriedly walked to the front of Zhuge Liang's tent, grabbed the attendant who was guarding the gate, and asked, "How is the Prime Minister? Is there a doctor here?"

"The doctor is in the camp, diagnosing the prime minister." The attendant replied.

"Free gift!"

Liu Chan walked into the tent without talking nonsense, preventing everyone from saluting.Seeing that many idle officials were expressing their condolences, Liu Chan frowned slightly and said with a wave of his hand, "It's just a minor illness of the prime minister. You should return to your seat as soon as possible and perform your duties."

"promise!"

"Your Majesty~"

Zhuge Liang leaned on the pillow and greeted with a rough voice.

Liu Chan stepped forward and sat on the side of the couch, holding Zhuge Liang's hand, and asked the doctor who had taken the pulse, "How is the Prime Minister?"

The doctor bowed his hands and saluted, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's body is not strong enough, and when dampness enters his body, he is good at self-cultivation, and he can be cured with medicine and stones. It's just that the Prime Minister is getting older and weak. It may be difficult to recover.”

Zhuge Liang cleared his throat, put out a smile on his pale face, and said comfortingly, "This subject is nothing more than a minor illness as His Majesty said, and His Majesty does not need to worry. The battle is ahead, and the war should be the most important thing."

Liu Chan sighed, and said: "My father is sick, I can't sleep comfortably, and I can't eat well, how can I feel at ease? Besides, my father is the most important thing in the country, and the hope of the community. If there is any negligence, the national pillar will fall!"

Zhuge Liang became an official of Liu Bei in 207 and has worked for the Liu family for 31 years.Build the Shu Han system for Liu Bei himself and improve the political system.When Liu Bei died in Yong'an, he calmed people's hearts and dealt with state affairs.Later, he raised his troops to the north to attack Lian Keyong and Liangzhou. His prestige and meritorious service still surpassed that of other ministers.

This is why when Liu Chan's ideas conflict with Zhuge Liang, all the officials will favor Zhuge Liang.That's because the Shu Han not only belongs to Liu Bei, but also a part of Zhuge Liang.

Because the early Qin and Han countries not only belonged to the Liu surname, but also belonged to the founding ministers.The centralization of imperial power and the changes of the noble can be known from the changes in the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. From sitting and discussing the Tao to kneeling to listen to orders, one can get a glimpse of it.

Therefore, although Liu Chan is the emperor and has the natural right to govern the country, it does not mean that the officials will agree with a wrong point of view.Therefore, in the case of preconceived ideas, everyone will naturally lean towards Zhuge Liang's concept. After all, character worship is inevitable.

And when Liu Chan can speak rationally and refute Zhuge Liang's ideas, the officials will naturally agree with Liu Chan's ideas.After all, although Zhuge Liang is a powerful minister, he is a rare loyal minister in the world. He is not a person who is obsessed with profit. Of course, he will not destroy Liu Chan's prestige, but will respect Liu Chan on various occasions.

Therefore, the impact of Zhuge Liang's illness on the Shu Han should not be underestimated.

Zhuge Liang patted the back of Liu Chan's hand, corrected his thinking, and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Emperor Xianzu established his country in Bashu, was defeated in Yiling, and died in Yong'an. But it’s not in jeopardy yet.”

"This minister is not as good as the emperor Xianzu, and his illness is not a serious illness. How can he say that the pillar of the country is down. I hope that your Majesty will put peace and tranquility as the top priority, and everything will be as usual."

"I take it for granted."

Liu Chan pondered a little, and said with concern: "Now Xiangfu has a minor illness, and it is difficult to manage the army. Therefore, Xiangfu might as well go back to Wancheng for treatment, recuperate for a while, and return to the army after he recovers. After all, the army from Wancheng is only a few dozen Li, it can be arrived in one day by expediting."

After a pause, Liu Chan said: "I am worried that my father will be recuperated in the army, and it will be difficult to recover. At that time, the illness will come and go again and again. I am afraid that it will not be good for the state affairs, and it will not be good for the health of the body, so I hope that the father will return to Wancheng for treatment. Sickness, once and for all."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Chan's words.After all, the two armies of Han and Wei are facing each other in Feishui, and there is no progress. It is not necessary to go back to Wancheng for treatment, but...

"Now that Cao Rui's army is in front, if the minister returns to Wancheng to treat his illness, no one will be able to command the army." Zhuge Liang said worriedly.

Liu Chan thought for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "If Xiangfu can trust me, I can lead the army, supplemented by Wang Ping and Deng Ai, and return to the army when Xiangfu recovers from illness, so as to defeat Wei's army."

Zhuge Liang weighed it for a while, looked at Liu Chan and said, "How can I not believe in Your Majesty? Now that I have His Majesty's words, I should return to Wancheng to recuperate with peace of mind."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's immediate response, Liu Chan couldn't believe it, and asked, "Did Xiangfu have any other orders?"

Liu Chan asked this question not because he was not confident, but because he couldn't believe that Zhuge Liang could hand over the army to him with such confidence.After all, even though I led troops to conquer the Qiang and Ge barbarians in western Sichuan, and also fought against Tongguan and Wuguan, except for defeating the barbarians, Tongguan and Wuguan were all fake soldiers, which was not convincing.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Since your majesty dares to command the army, why do you ask this question? Although your majesty has few troops, the ministers can also know your majesty's strategy. Your majesty has a deep understanding of the world's situation and geography, and is strict in managing troops. If there are gaps, Zijun, Shizai, and Shaoxian (Huo Yi) can build and make up for them. In terms of military affairs, Weigong (Yang Yi), Chengming (Pan Jun), and Anguo (Guan Xing) can also take care of them. There is only a lack of commanding troops in the army, but it is His Majesty who can secure the generals in the army and the master of civil and military affairs!"

Liu Chan also laughed. In history, Deng Ai destroyed Shu thousands of miles away, Wang Ping retreated [-] soldiers, and Huo Yi governor Nanzhong.Pan Jun, Yang Yi, and Guan Xing are all valued by Zhuge Liang, and each of them is a famous person with a long history.I can lose with this kind of card, and it's still a defensive game. I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him, and be the founding king of the country.

Seeing Liu Chan's smile, Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "Why are you laughing, Your Majesty?"

Liu Chan came back to his senses and said vaguely: "I'm thinking of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qizhen."

"Who are Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Qizhen?"

Liu Chan laughed, covered it up, and said, "Father Xiang got it wrong, I'm thinking of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang looked at the back of Liu Chan who said goodbye, and always felt that he heard it right. Could it be that he is really old and can't even use his ears?

After visiting Zhuge Liang and leaving the tent, Liu Chan touched his smooth chin. Apart from himself, he and the team called Tianzi seemed to be one Wang Zhen behind.

Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong can be called famous generals, while Cao Nai and Kuang Ye can be called good officials.Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhendang are porcupine dogs.

"Your Majesty, Guanzhong Military Daily!" Fei Yi said as he came quickly.

"cough~"

Holding the long sword in his hand, Liu Chan asked calmly, "How is the battle in Guanzhong? Wen Wei."

Fei Yi presented the scarf and silk, and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Wei was defeated by Guo Huai, and retreated to Ya County with Xihe Prefect Wang Si. Huang Gong was defeated by Man Chong, abandoned the king's city, and retreated to Linjin to defend the Wei army. Tongguan After Xiahouba's troops failed to attack Huayin, they disappeared, and Liu Yin ordered to guard Huayin to prevent Xiahouba from attacking again."

Liu Chan frowned slightly, and said, "Besides that, what else did Mr. Huang say?"

Fei Yi shook his head and said: "Duke Huang said that the situation in Guanzhong is still under control. Please don't worry about your Majesty and the Prime Minister. Take Nanyang as the top priority."

Liu Chan stretched his eyebrows and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to worry. Huang Gong has ruled the army for many years. He has been against Wei Youfang. He is just invincible now. He can defend it. Jiang Wei has few soldiers and is not familiar with the terrain in Hexi. It is normal for Guo Huai to be defeated. The royal city is incomplete, it is difficult to hold on, and it is normal to abandon it."

As he spoke, Liu Chan considered the movement of Xiahouba's troops, and ordered: "Liu Yin is steady, and Huayin is fine. Xiahouba's troops have disappeared, so Liu Min should be on guard against the Wei people going south to attack Wuguan or Xixian."

"promise!"

Fei Yi wrote down the arrangement Liu Chan said, and asked, "Can I report the information to the Prime Minister?"

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "The prime minister has a minor illness, so he should take a rest and go to Wancheng to recuperate tomorrow. Therefore, there is no need to report such a trivial matter to the prime minister, so as not to worry about the war, which is not conducive to recuperation."

Fei Yi hesitated for a while, and replied: "No!"

Before he finished speaking, cheers and joy erupted from the camp in the east.Fei Yi looked over curiously, wanting to see what was going on.

Liu Chan held on to his belt and said with a smile, "The prime minister comforted the army to comfort the soldiers."

Zhuge Liang will return to Wancheng tomorrow for medical treatment, but the soldiers and officials in the army should not think that he is seriously ill and go back, so as not to disturb the morale of the army, let everyone think that he is returning to Wancheng to serve as a director.

However, Liu Chan still sighed. Although the success of the Northern Expedition and the battle of Jiayiling saved many officials, Zhuge Liang was not overworked when he was happy, but Zhuge Liang was still old after all.

Especially after the Battle of Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang's energy was not as good as the year after year. Giving the Shangshuling to Jiang Wan meant that Jiang Wan would be in charge, but Zhuge Liang's own energy was insufficient.

Of course, not only Zhuge Liang, but veteran officials like Huang Quan, Yang Yi, and Pan Jun all had obvious alarms in their bodies.For example, after Huang Quan directly finished playing Guanzhong, he went back to his hometown to rest.Pan Jun has been serving as a council member with Zhuge Liang all year round, and his hair is basically gray.

Liu Chan is worried that if these important ministers die collectively, the big man will lose his vitality~
