Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 82 Heart Disease
"Colonel Lou sent a document saying that he will soon arrive in Bodao County."

As the main blogger, Huang Quan reported the news he received to Liu Zhang and gave his estimate: "Including the time spent in correspondence, Lieutenant Lou must have arrived in Bodao County by now, and he should be finishing his next work. Waiting for the follow-up army.”

Liu Zhang nodded when he heard this. He was not surprised that Lou Fa arrived at Bodao so quickly. Lou Fa led his army down the river, so the speed was naturally much faster than marching by land.

In the era of cold weapons without trains, waterways were the most convenient transportation channels. Land transportation was difficult and expensive, and the efficiency of transporting troops and grain was very low.

Zhuge Liang's six trips out of Qishan were separated by two or three years each time. This was because the Shu army's food transport route was a land route, and it was a plank road between cliffs. Even though Zhuge Wuhou was extremely resourceful, he developed a method of using wooden cows and flowing horses to help, and the food and grass on the road were The consumption was also astonishing. Shu alone could not afford to support Wu Hou's northern expedition every year.

At present, Lou Fa is traveling by river water, which saves labor and the cost of transporting grain and grass is low. Compared with marching by land, the fatigue of the soldiers will be much less.

This is also the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty was able to firmly control the Lingnan region. It was because the Great Qin Dynasty dug a spiritual canal. Although the Lingcanal was not wide enough, it was enough to transport grain and troops, reducing the burden of the Central Plains Dynasty in conquering Lingnan.

After talking about the business, Huang Quan thought about it for a moment, raised his hand and admonished Liu Zhang: "Ming Gong, the barren land in the south is a place of miasma. I am very worried that Ming Gong wants to go there personally."

"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and Duke Ming is concerned about the safety of Shu. Although the rebellion in Nanzhong is noisy and seems to be huge, it is just a mob. Duke Ming only needs to send one general, and there is no need to go there in person."

"I hope Ming Gong will think twice."

Liu Zhang looked at Huang Quan who spoke so earnestly, hoping that he would not go to Nanzhong to put down the rebellion in person, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

Wang Shang also told him the same thing privately, as well as Gan Ning, who was sent to Nanzhong after Lou Fa and is currently estimated to be on the Jiangshuilou ship.

Gan Ning's persuasion at that time was extremely heroic: "There are some barbarians in Nanzhong who are rebelling. Why bother to work for Duke Ming? I would rather lead five thousand troops and fight thousands of miles to secure Nanzhong for Duke Ming. I am willing to lead the military order first." '

As Liu Zhang who traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could not help but feel lonely at times. Although there was a brother Liu Mao in the Prefectural Mufu, but judging from Liu Mao's attitude, Liu Mao secretly wished that his younger brother would die soon. , so that he can take over.

Looking around, he always felt that he was out of tune with this era. Now he has met a lot of people and made some connections. He has also been deeply involved in the era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His soul has been marked by this era, and it is not as good as when he first came. Loneliness is in vain.

However, in response to Huang Quan's well-intentioned advice, Liu Zhang smiled and explained to Huang Quan: "Gongheng, doesn't Zhang know that in the land of Nanzhong, plague is prevalent and it is difficult to be safe?"

"But if someone else is sent to lead the army, even if Nanzhong is pacified, it will only be a temporary peace and cannot be what I want. Therefore, I should go there in person."

"Moreover, the soldiers and generals of Nanzhong can go there, but I, the shepherd of Yizhou, can't go there."

After saying this, Liu Zhang waved his hand to block Huang Quan's attempt to give any more advice, stepped forward, took Huang Quan's hand, and said sincerely: "I understand Gong Heng's intention, but I won't say anything more about this matter. "

Seeing this, Huang Quan had no choice but to give up, but he still added insurance: "In this case, the right to go on this trip should be the same as that of Bajun and his party. They will accompany Ming Gong and protect him."

However, Liu Zhang shook his head and expressed his thoughts: "I am going to Nanzhong. Gong Heng does not need to accompany me. I can just stay in Chengdu and supervise the provisions." Huang Quan looked a little surprised when he heard that Liu Zhang did not allow him to accompany the army. I was about to ask Liu Zhang, but I heard Liu Zhang continue: "Zhang has a heart disease that cannot be treated without justice."

Huang Quan looked a little solemn when he heard this. He straightened his posture and listened attentively to Liu Zhang's next words. The two whispered for a while, and Liu Zhang watched Huang Quan leave.

Looking at Huang Quan's leaving figure, Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Quan was a sensible man, and under his persuasion, he agreed to sit in the rear to control the prefectural shepherd's office.

He always felt a little uneasy about this trip to Nanzhong, but it was not Nanzhong's problems that made him uneasy. The rebellion in Nanzhong was nothing more than a scabies disease to him. What worried him was Chengdu's problems. Hidden danger, this is a heartache for him.

It was different from the situation when he personally went to Bajun to quell the rebellion. At that time, his father Liu Yan had just died of illness and he suddenly came to power. Because he had a reputation of being weak and incompetent at the time, some people didn't pay much attention to him and didn't take him to heart. , will not make any move for a while.

Now that he has put down the Bajun rebellion, some people's opinions of him may have changed. Perhaps these people will not wait quietly for him to put down Nanzhong, return to Chengdu with victory and glory, and completely secure the position of Yizhou Mu. position, but try to do something while he is in Nanzhong.

For example, his elder brother Liu Mao, when his father Liu Yan entered Shu, he only brought Liu Mao with him. This shows that Liu Yan took a fancy to Liu Mao. At that time, Liu Mao also served as a Sima in another department, and he might have been in the army. Some hidden relationships.

Another example is that Hede Zhonglang general Zhao Wei, who had scales on his belly and had great ambitions, recommended him, a man of gentle temperament, to succeed him as the pastor of Yizhou.

Now that Liu Zhang has used Zhao Wei's status as a noble one, he has not been given a chance to perform. In addition, Zhao Wei's subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi were killed and injured, and the whole army was lost. I am afraid that Zhao Wei will be impatient after seeing this and will restrain himself. Can't live.

Therefore, he suspected that there might be some changes in Chengdu during this trip to Nanzhong.

Although Chengdu has Wang Shang, the commander of Chengdu, Dong He, the commander of Chengdu, Yan Yan, the county captain, etc., he can be more relaxed, but after all, he still has to keep one person, someone who can be trusted without a bottom line.

In this way, as Liu Zhang's future brother-in-law and the chief blogger of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, Huang Quan naturally did his part. With Huang Quan staying in Chengdu and liaising with everyone in the middle, he could rest assured and go to Nanzhong to quell the rebellion.

As a monarch, it is common for him to be betrayed by others. He doesn't care about it at all. Take now, for example, he learned the news from the Central Plains from Pang Jing, the head of the palace.

Cao Cao led troops to conquer Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, but he stayed in Chen Palace in Dongjun, together with Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, Xu Si, Wang Kai and others, because Cao Cao killed them in front of him. The celebrities gave way. These people were worried and uneasy, so they conspired to rebel and introduced Lu Bu's wandering three-surnamed family slave into Yanzhou. For a time, Yanzhou almost betrayed Cao Cao collectively. Only the three counties of Juancheng, Fancheng and Dong'a were still alive. Under Cao Cao's name.

Boss Cao, who will be famous all over the world in the future, is currently fighting fiercely with Lu Bu. They go back and forth. It is estimated that Cao Cao has suffered from headaches many times.

Anyway, it was only a matter of time before some people in Chengdu rebelled. Liu Zhang thought about it and decided to resolve it earlier to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the book he read last night, Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan.
