Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 145 Yingchuan, that is heaven

In the Wenxiang Pavilion, a melodious and graceful sound of the piano slowly came from behind the tulle-like curtain.

Liu Yu was sitting in the private room, and through the tulle-like curtain, he could see a graceful figure, with blue silk like a waterfall, and colorful clothes like colorful clouds, and his sitting posture was a little lazy when he played the piano with bare hands.

Between the movement and the stillness, it is full of tranquility and gentleness.

At this scene, Liu Yu couldn't help but lift up that layer of tulle to see what this girl Huo Yu, who is fascinated by "Huang Zhong", really looks like.
Of course, Liu Yu was not abrupt.

He just sat on the Hu stool, listening to the strings quietly.

The qin music played by Huo Yu is like a flowing stream, the water is not rushing, and the stream is gentle. It is the same tune from the beginning to the end, which makes people feel the tranquility and peace.

only…

The destination of the sound of the piano is like a stream without purpose.

go with the flow...

Even gave up all hope and vision, flowing forever, until the end of life.

Let go of the song... the room fell silent.

It was Liu Yu who spoke first.

"Clean up..." He took out an official document from his pocket. "This is the official document for you to get rid of your status as an official slave. Follow me in half an hour!"

what…

Obviously, Huo Yu was stunned, her pupils were wide open, and she looked at the figure on the other side of the curtain in disbelief.

"Really...really?"

She dreamed of getting rid of slavery in her dreams, so she finally had a hope that one day she would be able to save enough money to redeem herself and find an honest man to marry.

But... so suddenly?
Is it so unexpected?

"You can see for yourself."

Liu Yu said softly...

Huo Yu quickly stepped over the bead chain, and quickly took the document...reading it word by word.

The "prostitutes" in brothels often have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, so she can recognize every word on the document...

She... indeed... indeed regained her freedom!
No... It's not free, but... It's getting rid of the status of official slave and criminal slave, and becoming the house slave of the young master in front of him.

A house slave... is better than a sinner's daughter, right?You don't have to... stay here in Wenxiang Pavilion to make fun of yourself, right?

Through the bead chain…

Liu Yu saw Huo Yu's true face, with exquisite facial features and snowy skin, she was actually pretty.

It's just that it's different from the girls in the boudoir, at this age, it's inevitable that there will be more prostitution, just like the princesses of many nightclubs in later generations.

Poor... Huang Zhong is an honest man.

"Grand...Young Master and I are meeting for the first time..."

Huo Yu looked up at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was observing her, and she was also observing Liu Yu, this son... a little... too young, right?

Not to mention, he has the ability to redeem himself. At this age... even if it is to choose a maid, a maid... or to fill in a house, wouldn't those fourteen or five years old be more suitable?Why is it Huo Yu, she is not young.

"Now...change your clothes and go out through the back door as a servant girl."

Liu Yu's words were like orders.

"This is?" Huo Yu pursed his lips and subconsciously asked.

"Afterwards you will know, go as soon as you go, if you don't go, there will be no such shop after passing this village."

Liu Yu got up and planned to leave.

"My lord..." Huo Yu quickly grabbed his sleeve. "Young Master, can you...can you promise me a small thing?"

"Small thing?"

"I want... I want to wait for someone, and I want to tell him not to wait any longer."

call…

With these words blurted out, Liu Yu was inexplicably moved.

The person Huo Yu mentioned was probably Huang Zhong, right?

"Ha ha…"

Liu Yu smiled slightly, "Don't wait, we will see you soon."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yu stepped towards the door of Xianggui, as if he suddenly thought of something. "Later, you might as well ask him yourself, ten years, is he marrying you, or just to repay your kindness?"

what…

You Qi screamed, Huo Yu stared at Liu Yu's back obsessively, for a moment... he was stunned.

The "he" in this young man's mouth and the "he" in Huo Yu's mouth...is...is it a "he"?

After half an hour.

In Wenxiang Pavilion, a woman fell into the water and died.

When the officials arrived, everyone found out that the woman was Huo Yushi.

It didn't seem to stir up any waves.

A nearly 30 years old "whore" doesn't deserve... undue attention.

The river wind outside Wenxiang Pavilion still smells of rouge. There are many guests here, and every night there is a transaction of body and money.

business as usual...

Only five horses were being sent from Luoyang to the official office of the governor of Jingzhou here.

...

...

Youzhou, Zhuo County.

Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants, is an extremely smart person, and he is also a person who is used to being superior and lacking in life at the bottom.

After all, since he was born in the palace after being cut with a knife since he was a child, how could he know the sufferings of the people at the bottom.

At that time, he only thought... In this world, as long as he coaxes the emperor well, he can be carefree.

Even when the party was in trouble, his power reached its peak, and when others were doing something, he could open his mouth and shout, "Open your eyes and see, who has the final say in this world?"

Can…

Now, he gradually figured out a little different taste.

This is Zhuojun, Youzhou, and he killed the prefect of Zhuojun...

During this period of time, it is obvious that there are fewer people giving gifts, and they are replaced by... All the officials looked at him with "sinister eyes", and those common people kindly called him "Zhang Changshi" when they had food .

However, the speed of food consumption exceeded his imagination. The ten-day food sent by the Zhen family was only five days old, and it ran out again, again, again... again.

Now, when the people looked at him again, they looked a little fierce again.

even...

The Youzhou officers and soldiers under his direct control also began to treat him with indifference.

What do you mean?
Zhang Rang was very skeptical, but it was not surprising that one day, when he was squatting in the latrine, someone did it quietly.

Youzhou, Zhuojun, border...

This place is dark, really meow black, so dark that you can't see your fingers.

The army and civilians here become violent, and they will really rebel!
Zhang Rang hurriedly went to look for Liu Bei again.

But Liu Bei...is sitting there calmly, sitting in the county government office in Zhuojun County, reading a book!

...With such a stall, there will be no more food tomorrow?When the time comes...the riots will be over, and Liu Bei can still watch it.

His ancestors!
Of course, for Liu Bei, although he was traveling with Zhang Rang this time, from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Zhang Rang.

I look down on his sinister and cruel methods, and also look down on his personality...

However, it is undeniable that these are essential to prevent the spread of the plague!

and so…

Seeing Zhang Rang coming, he didn't flatter him... He raised his eyes slightly,

"Zhang Changshi? Why did you come to my place?"

"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, are you still in the mood to study?" Zhang Rang sneered.

"Dr. Liu warned me before, 'A rich family doesn't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millet in the book', 'You don't need to raise a high hall, there is a golden house in the book', 'Don't hate to be unattended when you go out, there are horses in the book Like clusters', 'A boy wants to make his life aspirations, read the Six Classics diligently to the window.'”

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Brother Liu wrote this poem well, and only by reading can we gain knowledge and wealth from the deeds of the sages? So what's the mood?"

Uh…

Zhang Rang was a little dazed. When this kid begged himself, he took Zhang Changshi one by one. He was extremely humble!
now…

Rather arrogant, pretending to be aggressive?

Zhang Rang was also drunk.

"It's been a month since we've been here in Zhuo County, and the plague has almost been stopped, right? Our family just went to the granary, and the grain sent by the Zhen family has already run out. Our family thinks... it's time to unblock, so that the plague won't happen in the end. It didn't spread, but you and our family may end up as the next Zhuojun prefect, with their heads separated."

In the frontier area, apart from the officers, soldiers and common people, there are also border guards.

Regardless of whether it is officers and soldiers, ordinary people, or border guards, they all have land, especially those big landlords and big clans...whose family does not have thousands of acres of fertile land.

now…

Zhuo County is closed, how many acres of these big landlords are left uncultivated?

If this continues, the land will be deserted.

The tenants of these landlords can't leave the city, and they can't farm the land, and they can't earn the meager surplus. Last time, a prefect of Zhuojun was used to quell the public grievances, so whose turn will it be next?

Immediately, Zhang Rang felt a glow on his back...

However, Liu Bei was extremely resolute, and his answer was only two words.

--"no!"

"What?" Zhang Rang felt that his temper had been endured to the extreme, and he said angrily: "Liu Xuande, this time you came to Zhuo County to fight the plague under the order of Liu Yu, and our family respected you all the way. ? You don’t want to toast or eat fine wine!”

Liu Bei's tone remained firm.

"I was recommended by Brother Liu, and it was His Majesty's will. His Majesty only asked me to fight the plague with Zhang Changshi, and Liu Bei's task was to prevent the spread of the plague. Others... Liu Bei didn't care at all!"

"you…"

Zhang Rang shook his head, and said angrily: "Fighting against the plague... Fighting against the plague, you... Are you worth it? The spread of the plague is just to kill a few more villages and untouchables in a few counties. It is worthwhile to catch up with you and me I really don’t know what you think, don’t think that these Zhuojun clans are all vegetarians, they were able to gather the people to riot last time... If Zhuojun is closed again, they will be the same this time Yes... even officers and soldiers... officers and soldiers will support them!"

"Once the plague spreads and gets out of control, people in a few more villages and counties will die...these..." Liu Bei said decisively. "Aren't these people human? Are they just innocuous pariahs in Zhang Changshi's eyes?"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei suddenly got up. "I, Liu Bei, am also a pariah. My hometown is here, and every commoner here is my fellow countryman. The city is closed... They hurt, and I, Liu Bei, feel even more hurt!"

"And if it wasn't for Brother Liu's praise, I, Liu Bei, would never have been able to take up the post of magistrate of Zhuo County in my life, but now that I am taking on the important task of preventing the spread of the plague, I will definitely not disappoint Brother Liu, nor will I disappoint Your Majesty. Even if it is smashed to pieces, I will not hesitate!"

This is costing his life and wealth.

"You...you want to die, don't rely on our family...our family doesn't want to die yet!"

Zhang Rang was also speechless.

Panting for breath, he asked urgently: "Then... tell me? These days, except...except for Tianshidao distributing talisman water and cured some...some people with mild illnesses? Those with severe illnesses? You Can it be cured? You will never tell our family that you plan to seal this Zhuo County forever?"

"It must be..." Liu Bei said firmly, "There must be a turning point."

"Transfer?" Zhang Rang asked hastily.

Liu Bei had an unquestionable look on his face, "Because Brother Liu said there will be a turning point!"

Zhang Rang was taken aback again...

He is completely convinced, this Liu Bei...why is he so stubborn on this matter?

He is a stubborn man...

He looks weak on the outside and is easy to deal with, but in fact...his heart is like a rock.

Zhang Rang is still not reconciled...

"But what if Liu Yu is wrong? We will die... Zhuo County will also riot! Can you afford the consequences?"

At this time, Liu Bei no longer looked at Zhang Rang, he looked down at the bamboo slips on the table again, and his tone was still decisive. "Yulin Liulang... can never be wrong!"

From the moment he Liu Bei chose to go south from Zhuojun.

He...he firmly believed that Yulin Liulang would never be wrong!

crazy…

crazy…

Zhang Rang only felt that the man in front of him was a lunatic, and he was so obsessed with Liu Yu that he was almost crazy!
Zhang Rang's eyes were red with anxiety, you Liu Bei are not afraid of death, but our family is?

We have lost the most important thing since we were young, isn't it just... just to live well?
"Liu Xuande, our family's final advice to you... You take out the seal and ribbon of the governor of Zhuojun County. If you don't unseal this city, our family will unseal it!"

"shut up…"

Liu Bei, who was originally gentle and refined, suddenly snarled, his face became a little more severe, and he clapped his hand on the sword at his waist.

"If you dare to snatch it, your head will hang on the city gate!"

"you!"

This can be regarded as tearing the face apart, but...inexplicably, when Zhang Rang faced Liu Bei's cold eyes, he was actually frightened...totally frightened.

Liu Bei stared at Zhang Rang fiercely.

"I, Liu Bei, will say this one last time. When I came here...Liu brother told me to stop the spread of the plague at all costs. Even if Liu brother failed to find a way to control the plague...it doesn't matter. Once he called me Brother Liu, everything I will bear the responsibility! I have an old mother in Liu Bei's family, and there are many brothers in Zhuo County, but brother Liu treats me with great kindness, and I would rather die than let him down, and I will not let him down!"

"Zhang Changshi, don't force me, and I don't want to kill you either!"

Although compared with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Liu Bei's martial arts is not high, but...Facing a eunuch, Liu Bei is confident that a few moves are enough to cut off his head.

"You are a big fool!"

Zhang Rang wanted to cry but had no tears.

He stomped helplessly...he was completely convinced.

How can I meet a master who doesn't eat daily necessities!

at this time…

The sound of "tattling" footsteps came from outside the door.

"Xuande, Xuande..."

It was Jian Yong and Zhang Fei who broke in at the same time, Jian Yongyou was out of breath, but Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Guan Liu sent someone here, we are saved, our Zhuo County is saved!"

"What?" Zhang Rang didn't understand, why Guanzhu Liu sent someone here?Why is Zhuojun saved?
No matter how awesome you Liu Yu are, can you still cure this plague?

On the other hand, Liu Bei...

After hearing this news, his originally resolute body suddenly became limp, his legs staggered, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

"Xuande..."

Jian Yong hurried to help...

But Liu Bei had already supported the table and stood up again.

If Cao Cao is good at attacking the mind, then Liu Bei is the best at hiding the mind...

On the surface, the waves are calm, but who knows, he... How much pressure is he under?

"Gudong"... With a sound, Liu Bei swallowed it in a mouthful of saliva, and Liu Bei seemed to be relieved.

"It's coming, finally... finally coming."

"What? What's here?" Zhang Rang was still asking.

"You bird man." Zhang Fei replied unceremoniously: "Naturally, Guanzhu Liu sent doctors here, and these doctors can cure the plague in Zhuo County!"

ah... ah...

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Rang was shocked.

"True...really? Can...can the plague be cured?"

"You don't know yet, do you?" Zhang Fei continued: "The plague in Nanyang has been cured by Guanzhu Liu! Naturally, the next thing to be cured is our Zhuo County!"

Plague... cured... cured?

Zhang Rang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

and many more…

He suddenly realized, if... if the plague can be cured, does that mean, mean... once the plague in Zhuojun is cured, then... there is no need to close the city anymore?
hiss…

Zhang Rang took a breath.

He looked at Liu Bei subconsciously, but what he saw was the fragility hidden behind Liu Xuande's "mountain collapse in front of him without changing his expression".

This guy can really hide.

Really good at hiding.

If he hadn't heard the news and saw this scene, Zhang Rang would have almost thought that his heart was like a rock.

...

...

The southernmost point of Nanyang, Xinye City.

The arena chosen by the Deng family was an empty arena outside Xinye City surrounded by mountains and rivers. The stage was surrounded by colorful curtains, and a huge "Wu" character was hung above it.

At this time, there was no one on the stage, but there were already hundreds of people around the stage.

The Deng family, who is the head of the 28 generals in Yuntai, and Liu Yu, who has become famous recently, will fight three times. This is a grand event that has not happened in the south of Nanyang and north of Jingzhou for many years.
Naturally, some people who eat melons are indispensable...

The people gathered together in groups of three or four, and countless whispers and discussions sounded one after another.

"This Governor Liu is really amazing. I heard that the doctor he brought has cured many plagues in cities and counties..."

"Then...what is the head of the Deng family still insisting on? The plague in Xinye City has been cured...wouldn't that be better?"

"Someone is hoarding a large amount of medicinal materials and food, and they don't want this plague to end."

"So it is, so it is..."

At this moment, a voice came quietly. "Will Junshou Liu win this match?"

When the words came out...everyone fell silent.

After a long time, someone said: "I heard that Huang Zhong under Mr. Deng's command is so brave that no one can match him in the world!"

"There is also Wei Yan, who killed eleven thieves at a young age, with the two of them... maybe..."

"I still hope that Liu Junshou can win, at least give us a little hope for the people of Xinye City?"

At this time, there were more and more people in the audience, including thousands of people in fragrant cars and BMWs.

Among the crowd appeared Deng Mou, the head of the Deng family, Deng Tong, the son of a newborn calf, Wei Yan with a fearless face, and Huang Zhong didn't seem to have arrived yet.

On the other side, Liu Yu also came out of the carriage, Guan Yu and Xu Huang were guarding on both sides, but Wenpin was the only one missing.

Different from Liu Yu's calm demeanor, Deng was a little panicked.

Huang Zhong is his trump card...it's so late at this moment.

"Where's Han Sheng?"

"Father, don't worry, he has already sent someone to pass it on."

Deng Tong replied.

Deng Mou nodded, and he raised his head... The sun was just right, and there was still a moment before the ring at noon.

...

...

Luoyang, He Fu.

There were bundles of documents piled up on the table, Yuan Shaoning frowned and bowed to Yuan Wei in front of the table.

"Uncle calling nephew?"

"There's someone, come with me to see him."

Seeing Yuan Shao coming, Yuan Kai got up slowly...

Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that his uncle's eyes were a bit strange today, which was the same as when he saw He Jin in the past.

anyway…

So since He Jin went to Nanyang, there is no news?
It's just that Liu Yu's "siege of the city and the fortress" was passed back, as if... Nanyang and his party are about to make this brother Liu's reputation explode again, and the scenery is boundless!

What the hell are you doing here?
Just thinking of this, Yuan Wei waved to Yuan Shao.

"Walk…"

While talking, the two walked out of the room together.

They got into the carriage, walked through several streets, and got off the carriage in front of a wine shop.

Yuan Shao couldn't help asking:
"Uncle? Who is this mysterious person?"

"He? Hehe..." Yuan Kai didn't speak, but just smiled, "Inwardly, our Runan Yuan family is supporting He Jin, but externally, we also want to support someone..."

Having said this, Yuan Wei slowly walked up the stairs.

At this time, a private room in the restaurant.

A rather burly middle-aged man over forty years old was standing with his hands behind his back. He squinted his eyes...

It seems that because of returning to the Central Plains again, the scenes that have been experienced are vivid in front of my eyes.

His name is Dong Zhuo, and many people say he is a barbarian from Xiliang.

On the contrary, he was born in Yingchuan, a neighboring county of the Luoyang imperial capital, where Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhong Yao lived.

This is the birthplace of the "name" family in the world.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's deep eyes became a bit colder, as cold as ice...

A picture emerged in front of my eyes.

When he was 13 years old, he had a fight with the children of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family came to complain. His father was a county captain, but he was wronged, so he could only apologize.

His father asked him, why fight?
Dong Zhuo told the truth that it was the children of these aristocratic families who laughed at him and his younger brother, saying they were from Xiliang and barbarians.

At that time, Dong Zhuo's mother came over and told him earnestly.

"You and your younger brother were born in Yingchuan and grew up in Yingchuan. How can you be considered as Xiliang people? Your name is Zhongying, and your younger brother's name is Shuying. Both of your names have Ying. Why are you not from Yingchuan?"

But Dong Zhuo knew...

The children of those aristocratic families never regarded their brothers as Yingchuan people, saying that they sneaked to Yingchuan from Xiliang, and because of their low self-esteem, they added "ying" to the "character"!
Humph?
What's so good about Yingchuan?
Dong Zhuo immediately went to beg his father, he didn't want to stay in Yingchuan, he didn't want to be stared at by these clan children, he wanted to go back to Xiliang, Xiliang has a lot of horses, you can ride whatever you want!
only…

Dong Zhuo's father laughed. He said that he had worked hard for half his life before moving his family from Xiliang to Yingchuan. How could he go back?

Later, when he grew up gradually, Dong Zhuo found out.

There is a chain of contempt in this world.

People in Kanto despise people in Kansai, celebrities despise Jiangmen, celebrities in Yingchuan look down on the world and despise everything!
If you want to develop your family, only next to the imperial capital, in this bustling place, are nobles everywhere...they may become nobles in the future.

That savage Xiliang...

What can I do when I go back?

Can…

Is this the reason why he was stared at by the children of the family?

Dong Zhuo secretly made up his mind...

One day, one day...he will make everyone look up to him, he will climb up step by step to the highest place, and he will make all these clans kneel before him.

only…

Maybe God wanted to satisfy Dong Zhuo's wish, when they were 17 years old, their family was transferred back to Xiliang.

Only in Xiliang...

Dong Zhuo finally understood why his father wanted to transfer to Kanto and live in Yingchuan after spending his whole life...

He didn't know until he came to Xiliang!

Yingchuan...that is heaven!
