Ji Han Liu Zhang

Between the two reactions, which caused tears to flow from his eyes due to sadness, and his eyes darkened and he became dizzy due to the grief in his heart. When he heard about the death of his brother Liu Mao, Liu Zhang chose to have his eyes darken, his body fell back, and he became dizzy. passed.

Without him, Liu Zhang, as a time traveler who was killed by a dump truck until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, did not have any brotherhood with Liu Hao. Instead, he had a lot of hatred for Liu Hao because of Liu Hao's behavior of treating his slaves like nothing. , wanted to kill Liu Mao and then quickly.

Therefore, after hearing the news from Zhao Wei that Liu Mao was dead, Liu Zhang felt like setting off fireworks. He couldn't cry. He could only try his best not to smile on his face and prevent others from seeing the clues.

"Ming Gong." Wu Ban, who was a personal guard, reacted immediately. Standing beside Liu Zhang, he strode forward and supported Liu Zhang's falling figure, preventing Liu Zhang from falling freely and hitting the ground.

Regarding Wu Ban's reaction, Liu Zhang closed his eyes and praised him from the bottom of his heart. He said he was a good boy and lived up to the preferential treatment he usually gave Wu Ban.

"Minggong."

"Minggong."

Faced with the situation where Liu Zhang seemed to be dizzy with grief due to the death of his brother, voices calling for "Ming Gong" came one after another in the Chinese army's tent.

For example, Huang Quan and Wu Yi believed that they had an extraordinary relationship with Liu Zhang and were related by marriage. They looked nervous and strode forward to check.

For example, Zhang Ren, Peng Yi and others, if not for Liu Zhang's promotion, all of them would have been subordinated to petty officials and would not be able to show their talents. These people also looked extremely nervous and strode forward to know Liu Zhang's situation.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, as messy as a vegetable market.

At this time, Huang Quan, who was the chief blogger and the leader of the Central Army, stood up and ordered Wu Ban and several personal guards to carry Liu Zhang to the tent to rest. At the same time, he commanded many civil and military personnel to perform their duties. Now Zhao Wei came out and surrendered. , the overall situation is settled, but there is still a lot of finishing work to be done.

First, Huang Quan did not believe what Zhao Wei said about Liu Hao's death. He arranged for people to carefully check Zhao Wei's subordinates to avoid the situation where Liu Hao faked his death and hid. At the same time, he sent people to In Wubao, the other courtyard where Liu Hao lived last night, those who wanted to see the corpse cleaned up the burned-out courtyard and planned to dig out Liu Hao's body as proof.

Erzewu Fort needs to be searched from top to bottom to prevent one or two of Zhao Wei's loyal subordinates from hiding in it and causing trouble in the future.At the same time, the troops following Zhao Wei's surrender also need to be separated and monitored to prevent these people from having the opportunity to join forces and cause chaos.

In the afternoon, a charred corpse was excavated from the ruins of the other courtyard that was burned down last night. Through a jade seal that Liu Hao carried with him, as well as the bones and teeth of the charred corpse, the identity of the charred corpse was identified as that of Liu Zhang. His elder brother Liu Mao.

Liu Zhang calmed down his joy and woke up from dizziness. At this time, he hugged the scorched corpse and cried bitterly regardless of his nausea. Just while crying, Liu Zhang looked at the body of the scorched corpse. There were several traces on the bones of the scorched corpse. He observed that it was in an unusual place, which was damage caused by a sharp weapon.

Liu Zhang sighed in his heart, Zhao Hao was really unlucky, and the obvious reasons were exposed. If he hadn't wanted to study the cause of Liu Hao's death in detail, and ignored the trauma on the bones of these charred corpses, he would have done any job to inspect the corpses. , Zhao Wei could not escape the suspicion of a murderer.

It’s a shame that Shang Xiang has returned.The scene where Liu Zhang felt sorry for his brother Liu Mao and burst into tears fell into the eyes of everyone, making everyone feel melancholy.

But what made everyone even more sad was the grief of Wu Yi, the lieutenant general. Wu Yi was hunched over with his head buried in his body, his body shaking constantly, as if he was extremely sad because of the death of his brother-in-law Liu Hao.

"It is said that the relationship between General Wu Zhonglang and the Third Young Master is not very good. Now it seems that all the words are false." Colonel Yin Pu sighed. He had previously heard that Liu Hao vented his anger on Wu Ran because he did not get the position of Yizhou Shepherd. , so Wu Yi didn't like Liu Mao. Now seeing Wu Yi's sad look, Yin Pu thought that the rumors should not be trusted.

However, what the captain Yin Pu didn't know was that Wu Yi was overjoyed to see Liu Mao's charred corpse, but he didn't dare to smile when Liu Zhang was sad, so he had to bury his head and pretend to cry bitterly to cover it up.Wu Yi was even more excited because his sister Wu Ran was no longer bound to Liu Zhang once Liu Hao died, which made him tremble with excitement.

Liu Zhang didn't cry for long. He quickly put away his tears, arranged for people to build a good coffin, and recruited fortune tellers to find a good hole for Liu Hao, and then chose an auspicious day to bury Liu Hao.

When the sun set on the Western Mountain and the birds returned to the forest, Liu Zhang was not in the Chinese army's tent. He was standing on a hill at this time, looking up into the distance and hiding half of his face to the sun behind the mountain. The mountains were like the sea, and the setting sun Like blood, sometimes Liu Zhang thinks that the sunset has a more tragic beauty than the sunrise.

"Climb high and look into the distance, wandering and wandering with your eyes full of love. Ming Gong is so elegant and cheerful." Zhao Wei, the general of He De Zhonglang who was standing on one side, complimented Liu Zhang.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang smiled happily and looked back at Zhao Wei who was summoned by him: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Zhao Qing for being so happy today. If Zhao Qing hadn't eliminated my inner troubles, I wouldn't have been in such a good mood. "

Zhao Wei lowered his head, but did not answer.

"Zhao Qing, don't you want to say something? How did my brother die?" Liu Zhang asked.

"The third young master died due to a fire." Zhao Wei said with certainty, and then he narrated plainly: "Of course, there is also a possibility. The third young master may not be willing to be held hostage by me, which makes Duke Ming unable to let go. So he set himself on fire."

"Pfft." A smile appeared on Liu Zhang's face, showing an uncontrollable smile: "Zhao Qing, why have you changed your temper and become a joker?"

Zhao Wei smiled and said flatteringly: "It is my duty as a minister to please Ming Gong."

"You are neither a peaceful nor a loyal minister. You have lost your true nature by offering me such a charming face." Liu Zhang shook his head and sighed.

"Times have changed, and kings are successful and bandits are defeated. How can I dare to show my dignity at this time? Of course, I will say whatever I can to please Ming Gong." Zhao Wei looked like he was admitting defeat.

Seeing Zhao Wei's performance, Liu Zhang remained silent. Zhao Wei shut up and became silent along with Liu Zhang.For a long time, Liu Zhang asked about something: "When did Zhao Qing have the intention to rebel... Although I took away Zhao Qing's authority earlier, I treated Zhao Qing very favorably, and he enjoyed the glory like this. Isn’t it good to be rich?”

Liu Zhang spoke from the bottom of his heart. As for Zhao Wei's lack of loyalty, he knew about Zhao Wei's rebellion in history, but he hesitated whether to remove Zhao Wei. At first, he cut off Zhao Wei's Power, thinking that Zhao Wei can enjoy his wealth peacefully, he will always treat Zhao Wei favorably and use it as a sign of his favor to his heroes.

Seeing that Liu Zhang had made it clear, Zhao Wei knew that treason was a serious crime and he could not escape the punishment of axes. At this time, he also spoke from the bottom of his heart: "When Yizhou Mu was here, I had the idea of ​​​​treason... Guyi Zhou Mu was a strong man and refused to give in to others. In order to frighten the powerful families in Shu and consolidate his own power, he massacred more than ten wealthy families such as Wang Xian and Li Quan for no reason. At that time, I was thinking, if I can also control it How wonderful it would be to have such authority.”

"A man should not be without power for a day, nor should he be controlled by others, relying on others and acting on other people's faces, instead of making his own decisions." Although Zhao Wei was a prisoner, his heroic spirit did not diminish. Before he died, he Spit out the chest.

"Now the world is in chaos and the world is noisy. It is the day when heroes come forward and heroes show off their strength. In the past, Emperor Gao was only the head of a pavilion. Taking advantage of the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he established the Han family and the world, and Emperor Guangwu was only a farmer. , faced with the chaos caused by Wang Mang's usurpation, the Han family continued the world for 200 years... I think of me as the Zhao family of Anhan, who has been the commander of the county for a long time. The children in the family are all over the prefectures and counties, and there are many two thousand stones. The family is prominent and famous. Batu, in the current situation, how can I not make a career? If I am like Qi Huan or Jin Wen, I will be like Hexi Dou Rong... If I can go one step further, I can become a White Emperor again."

'Qi Huan, Jin Wen, and Dou Rong. Liu Zhang silently recited these three names in his heart. The heroes of the Han Dynasty all followed Qi Huan and Jin Wen as examples, thinking that the nine princes could unite the world. Secondly, many warlords also planned to be Dou Rong, with the intention of marrying each other, and Yan Ran would be rich and prosperous. , and then surrendered to the Lord of Destiny, a noble family.

So the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a mess. People with ideals all wanted to give it a try. There were children of aristocratic families, children of eunuchs, children of clan clans, and children of military generals. They refused to obey anyone, but they were all quite capable. , in the end, even among the three-thirds of the world, no one created a new era.

Zhao Wei became frustrated when he said this, and he sighed: "But it is fate that belongs to the Han Dynasty. There is a figure like Ming Gong among the clan members. It is another Guangwu. In the future, he will definitely be able to revive the Han Dynasty and continue to strengthen the Han family." Genealogy... "Spring and Autumn Prophecy" says that after the Han family was 920 years old, Meng Sun died and was given the title of successor. The person who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye... The Han family has only been in the world for more than [-] years, so it should be the successor. There are still more than [-] years left for Guozuo, so it can be seen that the prophecy is true."

"In the past, Dong Fu told the late Yizhou Mu that Yizhou had the aura of the Son of Heaven, so the late Mu of Yizhou abandoned Jiaozhou and went to Yizhou. I must have thought that the aura of the Son of Heaven should be in me, so I followed the late Mu of Yizhou into Shu, now it seems that it should be Duke Ming... With Duke Ming's benevolence, all-round talent in civil and military affairs, coupled with the land of Yizhou Tianfu and a household registration of millions, it will be easy to conquer the world."

"Zhang doesn't know the destiny of heaven, but he knows people's hearts. If people's hearts are in compliance with their wishes, destiny will come to them." Faced with what Zhao Wei said, saying that he had the spirit of an emperor, Liu Zhang gave his thoughts.

Zhao Wei shook his head and smiled, but did not refute Liu Zhang. Instead, he answered Liu Zhang's last question, why he was uneasy about enjoying wealth: "Ming Gong said wealth, but although wealth is good, how can you enjoy wealth without power when you have power? But duckweed, under the strong wind and rain, you will definitely lose your wealth."

Liu Zhang recognized this. He nodded and tentatively asked Zhao Wei if he had any regrets now: "If you could go back to the past, Zhao Qing, would you still do what you did today?"

"It's unknown." Zhao Wei gave an ambiguous answer.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei looked at each other. They smiled at each other, put aside their grudges, and laughed heartily.

"Ming Gong, the sun sets over the west mountain, the long night is approaching, and the cold wind will suddenly rise, chilling your bones. Please go back to camp and rest." Zhao Wei advised.

Liu Zhang took a look at the sky and nodded without any surprise. He asked Zhao Wei: "Zhao Qing, I have never forgotten the merits of serving the two masters and supporting him. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes now?"

The meaning of Liu Zhang's words could not be clearer. As the chief culprit, Zhao Wei could not escape the sword and axe. However, considering Zhao Wei's past achievements, Liu Zhang gave Zhao Wei a chance to express his unfulfilled wish.

Zhao Wei looked indifferent and said calmly: "Ming Gong, I heard that the gentleman has no heirs. I am old and have only one son, Zhao Xi. I hope that Ming Gong will be lenient to his sins and exempt him from death. But I will exile you." . Secondly, most of the children of the Zhao family were deceived by me, so they led troops to rebel. They are actually innocent, and I hope that the Lord will forgive them."

"Everything is as you wish."

into the night.

Zhao Xi sat cross-legged in the cage. As a noble prince, he was not sitting on a warm quilt, but on a pile of messy dry straw. The camp he was in was different from the luxurious houses of the past. Instead, the wind leaked from everywhere and the chill was pressing.

But Zhao Xi didn't care at all about the physical discomfort caused by these foreign objects. He only cared about one thing at the moment, and that was the life and death of his father Zhao Wei.

Last night, Zhao Wei detained him in the house, and then led the soldiers away. Before leaving, he whispered to him in a low voice that he would seek a way out for him.At that time, Zhao Xi was puzzled. The outside of Wubao was heavily surrounded by Liu Zhang's army. It was difficult for him and his son to fly, and they would be captured by Liu Zhang sooner or later.As the culprits, both his father and son should have been killed by Liu Zhang, and there was no other chance of survival.

On the next day, today, Zhao Xi, who accompanied Zhao Wei to surrender, thought that his father might surrender in exchange for his chance of survival.But Zhao Xi was not happy about such a chance of life. He was willing to suffer the punishment of swords and axes with Zhao Wei and stay with him on the road to hell.

At this time, the curtain at the entrance of the camp was raised by one foot. Zhao Xi's face was expressionless. He didn't care. It didn't matter whether the person who came came to kill him or announced that he had escaped. He didn't care. He just wanted to know the news about Zhao Wei.

But the next moment, after all the curtains were raised, Zhao Xi saw the person clearly. He immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed to the door of the cage. There was great joy in his tone: "Dad, you are not dead yet. "

Zhao Xi, who thought that because of Zhao Wei's crime, would be killed today, when he saw that the person coming was Zhao Wei, tears flowed down unconsciously, and his face was full of joy and joy.

Zhao Wei frowned when he heard Zhao Xi's words: "What the hell are you talking about? Are you looking forward to dying for your father?"

"No, no." Zhao Xi was happy and panicked at the same time as he denied: "I originally thought that because of our sins, we would be killed today, but I didn't expect to see you again..." At this point , Zhao Xi couldn't stop crying, but his face was full of smiles as he cried bitterly.

Seeing Zhao Xi's performance, the usually stern Zhao Wei's expression changed from resolute to soft. (End of chapter)
