Shuhan

The country of Wu is already in turmoil.

Prince Sun Deng's sudden awakening broke the current balance in the Wu court.

How should the Jiangdong nobles who originally abandoned Sun Deng deal with themselves?

How should Sunli, the Marquis of Jianchang, who was Sun Deng's backup, face his elder brother?

Will Sun Deng's coming to power change Sun Quan's plans?

Everything is unknown.

And on the other side.

Brazil County.

Langzhong.

In November of the first year of Zhangwu.

That is November 221 AD.

The first snow of winter has already begun to fall in Badi.

In the mountain forest, snowflakes are flying like catkins, and the falling snow flakes cover the earth with a white coat.

Those evergreen pine and cypress trees, covered with thick snow, look like snow sculptures carefully carved by nature. Every tree is decorated gracefully with snow, and snowflakes hang on the branches like strings of white lanterns.

In front of the city, snowflakes were like flying butterflies, slowly falling on the ancient masonry. Those city walls and towers that have gone through many vicissitudes of life, decorated with snow, look even more solemn and mysterious.

In the streets and alleys, the people of Langzhong City excitedly waved their umbrella sticks and stepped on the deep snow, leaving a series of cheerful footprints. The children played in the snow and made snowmen. Even the cold weather could not dampen their joy.

The mountains in the distance are covered with snow and look particularly enchanting. Those undulating hills are even more layered when decorated with snow. A thin layer of ice formed on the lake at the foot of the mountain, reflecting the falling snowflakes in the sky, as if it were a reflection of another world.

Liu Chan stood on the top of the city and looked at the scenery, feeling a sense of heroism in his heart.

If he were not afraid of copyright infringement, he would have recited a poem: The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting

But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to forget it.

He should have pretended to be awesome, but he had already finished pretending, not least of which was this poem.

"Your Highness, it's windy on the city wall, why don't you put on this mink shawl?"

Zhou Che wore a thick black robe, wrapping his body tightly, and a felt hat on his head, revealing only a pair of bright eyes and a small white nose.

As a personal secretary, Zhou Che is very qualified.

During the day, she takes good care of him and can also help him with some things.

At night, I can help him warm up his quilt in advance.

In view of this, Liu Chan also slowly brought him into contact with the military affairs.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Che serves him even more devotedly.

It is different from the big and small Qiao who want to have a husband and children, love and love, and glory and wealth.

Zhou Che obviously wanted to make a career and prove that he was no worse than those men.

Liu Chan nodded, and Zhou Che put the mink shawl on Liu Chan's shoulders.

"The guard from Langzhong is here."

After Liu Chan sent a letter to Liu Bei, hoping to send Liu Yan to take over Zhang Fei's military and political affairs in Badi, Chengdu acted quickly and sent Liu Yan as quickly as possible.

Liu Yan did not take the land route when he and Liu Chan arrived in Langzhong, but took the water route since Chengdu.

First we arrived at Jiangzhou, and then transferred from Jiangzhou to Langzhong.

It wasn't even a month before we arrived in Langzhong.

"You came to Langzhong so quickly, I'll wait and greet you!"

"promise!"

All the officials in the East Palace have promised.

Soon, Liu Chan stopped at the city gate.

The chariots and horses on the opposite side also dismounted five hundred steps away from Langzhong City Gate. Liu Yan immediately walked quickly to Liu Chan and bowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yan, pays homage to His Highness."

Liu Yan wore a thick Chinese suit with gorgeous embroidery and complex patterns showing his identity and status. However, this gorgeous dress could not hide his body's thinness and fatigue. His clothes looked empty, as if they were wrapped in an empty shell.

Liu Yan's eyes were sunken and dim, revealing an expression of exhaustion and weakness. His eyes had lost their former sharpness and wisdom, and had become hollow and lifeless. The lips were pale and chapped, as if they hadn't tasted water for a long time.

Those hands were even more skinny and weak, and the fingers were bent, as if they had lost control.

"Get up."

Liu Chan helped Liu Yan up with a warm smile on his face.

"It's been a long and tiring journey, thanks to the hard work of the Marquis of Duxiang."

Liu Yan had a smile on his face, but this smile was more of a bitter smile.

"Serving the country and working for His Highness, how dare I say it's hard work? Your Highness came from Chengdu, and within a year, he completely pacified Badi. The scholars in Chengdu all praised His Highness, saying that he had the style of Han Dynasty, and that's why Your Majesty called me When I went to the banquet, there were many praises. Compared with Your Highness, your Majesty is like the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon. It is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Although he was named by Liu Chan in Chengdu, the original Qingxian Hou Ye, who lived in luxury and extravagance all day long, served the monarch with maids and maids, was gone forever, and when he arrived in Langzhong, he was definitely not willing to keep company with barbarians all day long.

But it's one thing whether he wants it or not. It's already happened, so there's nothing he can do about it.

They come, the security.

It is true to have a good relationship with the prince.

"How can I compare with the Han Dynasty for my meritorious service? It's just an exaggeration."

Liu Chan smiled softly and looked behind Liu Yan.

"Did you bring your family here?"

family?

Liu Yan nodded and said, "I brought my concubine, Meiji, and servants."

Good guy, are you here to take office, or are you here to enjoy the blessings?

"I originally wanted to arrange some beauties for you, but now it seems that there is no need for it. I heard that among your concubines, there is a person named Hu who has a stunning appearance."

In his previous life, Liu Yan died because of the Hu family.

Naturally, Liu Chan couldn't help but be curious.

Hu's?

I obviously accepted it not long ago, how did His Highness know this news?

Liu Yan was horrified, and suddenly felt that every move he made was under Liu Chan's surveillance.

But when he thought about it again, he was relieved.

Your Highness has a military officer in charge. He will know what Cao Pi of Wei has done and which concubine he will visit on that day, not to mention the news about him.

but

Liu Yan, I thought deeply about it again, and my heart started to rise again unconsciously.

Your Highness praised my new wife for her stunning beauty. What does this mean?

Could it be that.

With His Highness's romantic temperament, might he have fallen in love with Mr. Hu?

It seemed that he had to find a reason to present this Hu to His Highness.

Although he was reluctant to let his new beauty leave him, for the sake of his own life and for the sake of living a happy life in Langzhong, how could he be comfortable if he didn't make the young man in front of him comfortable?

"If there are enough beauties, it's okay to reward one or two."

Although the people are barbarians, it is not impossible to have a taste of barbarians occasionally.

Just think of it as eating wild game.

"Hahaha~"

Liu Chan laughed loudly and said: "The Lord is really a wonderful man. Come and follow me into the city. I will hand over the specific matters to you, the important task of guarding Langzhong."

Badi was guarded by Liu Chan, and Zhang Fei had already left before Liu Yan arrived.

Therefore, the handover was left to Liu Chan.

"Your Highness, I think this handover is unnecessary. Your Highness recommended me to be the guard of Langzhong. I don't have the ability. As long as Your Highness gives orders, I can just do it."

Liu Yan has a loose personality. If he is asked to take charge, he himself feels that he is not capable enough.

Moreover, before he came, he had already asked his friends about the inside story.

The answers they received were all: His Highness will show off his skills in Badi and no one needs to hold him back, so he was chosen.

Since you don't want anyone to interfere with His Highness's grand plan, that's okay.

I don't do anything, I just stay in Langzhong City and enjoy it.

It is equivalent to moving from Chengdu to Langzhong, just changing places.

It doesn't matter. "hehe."

Liu Chan chuckled lightly and said: "It's still a matter of debate whether to do something or not, but the process still needs to be completed. Langzhong guards the following officials. We still need to get to know them."

Follow the process?

Liu Yan chuckled.

"Then please do so, Your Highness."

It was freezing outside, and he had been traveling by boat and truck for nearly a month.

Now I really miss the warm bed.

He can now sleep on the bed with the beauty in his arms for three days and three nights!

Even for nine days and nine nights!

Ever since, under the leadership of Liu Chan, Liu Yan finally knew about the affairs of Langzhong Guard.

After learning more about it, Liu Yan discovered that there were really many things going on in Langzhong.

On the one hand, we need to train troops and command the army.

On the other hand, we must also care about farming and farming.

When necessary, they even led troops into the mountains to suppress the barbarians.

Isn't this nonsense?

He, Liu Yan, doesn't know how to lead troops.

I really can't do the job of guarding Langzhong!

Fortunately, Liu Chan didn't really ask him to perform the job of guarding Langzhong.

After understanding the duties of the Langzhong guard, he was brought to the banquet.

This is right!

This is where I, Liu Yan, should come.

After some exchange of toasts, Liu Chan also expressed his feelings.

"The prince will live happily in Langzhong. If there is a need, it is okay to say so. It will not be too late to take over this valuable matter after the prince has a thorough understanding of the duties of guarding Langzhong."

Completely take over the guarding duties in Langzhong and then go on duty?

If I never understood it, wouldn’t it mean that I don’t have to pay attention to it?

This seems to be what His Highness said.

Liu Yan immediately patted his chest and said, "I am stupid. I am afraid it will take a long time to understand the duties of guarding Langzhong."

The specific time is not up to him, Liu Yan.

You, Liu Chan, have the final say.

"Haha, Junhou is as funny as the rumors say. I respect you for this cup."

Liu Chan picked up the wine bottle and toasted Liu Yan.

The latter immediately picked up the wine bottle before eating and said: "Serving His Highness, that is what you should do."

After drinking a bottle of wine, Liu Yan thought of what happened at the gate of Langzhong City, and immediately said: "Your Highness, I know that Your Highness is very beautiful and loves beauty, so I found a beautiful woman for Your Highness in Chengdu, named Hu. Seriously?" I have the resources to sink the fish and fall the wild goose, and now I will offer it to His Highness."

Good guy.

I just mentioned it, and you presented the beauty?

That's not what I meant at all!

Hey ~

You are so miserable!

Liu Chan had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Since it is a gift from the monarch and the elders, Chan dare not say goodbye, and the courtesy should be reciprocated. I will select ten of the most beautiful people for the monarch and send them to your mansion."

Ten for one, it seems like I am not at a loss.

The original resentment in Liu Yan's heart has now disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Liu Yan was sent out of the lobby by the waiter in a daze.

Liu Chan also drank a lot, but he could drink well, so although his cheeks were red, his consciousness was still very clear.

"How about this Duxiang Hou?"

How is this person, Duxianghou?

Guan Xing thought for a while and said: "Although this person is a fool, he is also very knowledgeable about current affairs. For Badi at this time, he is not a bad candidate."

Huang Chong also nodded.

"Although they are a worm to the country, they are not very harmful."

"If that's the case, then let's do it. Everyone, go back to your respective mansions and have a good rest."

"promise!"

The subordinate officials of the East Palace left at that time. Liu Chan turned to look at Zhou Che and asked, "This Liu Yan is a smart man, but the Chief of Military Affairs still has to send someone to keep an eye on him to see how he reacts within a month."

Even if you don't work, you can't make money by using your status as the guard of Langzhong.

If something like this happened, we can't blame him for Liu Gongsi's bad sword.

"Yes."

Zhou Che nodded slightly and already remembered this matter.

"Then your Highness, are you going to favor that Hu family tonight?"

Your Highness really has no shortage of women.

Zhou Che felt slightly uncomfortable that Liu Chan had another woman, but he quickly suppressed the discomfort.

As Liu Chan's personal secretary, she will be in charge of the Military Department in the future.

If he is reduced to being jealous of women, what is the difference between him and those women in the harem?

Hu's?

Liu Chan stepped forward and hugged Zhou Che into his arms.

"Hu, let's forget it."

Although Hu has beauty, she may have been sown by Liu Yan after all.

It is better to wait for her for three months to ensure that the child she gives birth to in the future will be his Liu Chan.

Liu Chan didn't help others raise his son and daughter in a leisurely manner.

"Follow me to your mother's house tonight."

Go to mother's house?

Liu Chan could feel Zhou Che's body trembling.

For her, this was a violation of ethics and a very exciting thing.

"What, no?"

Seeing Liu Chan's teasing gaze, Zhou Che glared at him unwilling to be outdone and said, "Is this your highness's bad taste?"

She was probably the only woman in Badi who dared to glare at her and talk back.

“Always play something a little more exciting.”

"My subordinates will naturally serve His Highness well. As for going to mother, there is no need."

"hehe."

Liu Chan smiled softly and said, "This time, you can't refuse my request."

Zhou Che bit his lips and teeth, and finally nodded.

The young man in front of me is good at everything, but he is too horny.

Sometimes Zhou Che couldn't figure out whether the big man's head was full of astringent things.

Otherwise, where would so many tricks and so many ways of playing come from.

Even those who are proficient in Fangzhongshu may not be able to defeat His Highness.

"Ah~ Your Highness!"

Amidst Zhou Che's exclamations, she was picked up by Liu Chan. The next scene was a bit inappropriate for children.

All I know is that in the lobby, lightning is thundering and the wind is howling.

Snow was falling outside, and the guards and internal officials of Su Wei subconsciously stayed away from the hall.

The real dragon is happy, how dare others stay by its side? (End of chapter)
