Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 486 Bai Han is mature and strong?
In the second year of Zhangwu, Xia.

The sun rises high and shines brightly, dispelling the rainy weather that lasted for many days.

At the palace of General Hussar, the attendants carried damp lacquerware and placed them in the courtyard to dry, or hung Sichuan silk and satin high to dry. People shuttled back and forth, cleaning the courtyard houses and clearing out the sand and soil under the command of Bu Lianshi.

Huo Jun was wearing single clothes and wooden clogs, stepping on the wet stone slabs, looking up at the dazzling sun, and couldn't help but squint his eyes to feel the warmth of the sun.

Since March, as Huo Jun feared, the Yangtze River has flooded due to continuous rain. In April, the capital Wuhan was hit by floods. The surrounding farmland was flooded and thousands of people drowned. It was not until the rain stopped recently that the floods gradually receded.

The flood in April not only submerged Jindu Port, but also flooded tens of thousands of acres of surrounding farmland. The floodwaters rushed into a large number of people's homes and also flooded Huo Jun's mansion.

Although the farmland was flooded, fortunately, most of the crops grown on the farmland were rice. Rice is not afraid of floods. As long as water is drained in time, rice seedlings can be rescued.

Now that the floods have receded and the sun has risen, everyone has begun to deal with damp objects to minimize losses.

"Mother!"

Huo Yi stepped on his wooden clogs and ran to the mansion, shouting: "There are people outside who are short of food due to the flood. They are asking for food relief from our mansion. Should we provide food to save them?"

Previously, Huo Jun and Guan Yu were both governor generals, but they had never seen each other since Liu Bei became king. Until Guan Yu returned to Beijing to recuperate due to illness, Huo Jun paid a visit with his colleagues because he was thinking about Guan Yu's condition.

"promise!"

Hearing this, Bu Lianshi came out with a flowerpot. Bu Lianshi was in his thirties. Although he had an extraordinary color and a charming face, he had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and his skin was as delicate as eighteen years old.

Huo Jun glanced at Huo Yi, who was as tall as him, and asked, "Why go home if you don't go with the prince?"

Huo Yi chuckled and said, "I just can't bear it!"

Master Bu called Huo Yi out of the way and said, "Prime Minister Zhuge had known that the flood would inundate the city. How could there be no one to arrange relief?"

Huo Jun changed into a clean robe, put on his cloth boots, and rode to Guan Yu's mansion.

"Ok?"

After a while, Huo Jun led the left and right servants to Guan Mansion and asked Tongyan to pay homage to Guan Yu.

"What kind of food relief will be provided?"

Huo Jun put the scarf on the wooden board, frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Go away!"

Today's visit to Guan Yu is Huo Jun's second private visit to Guan Yu.

As he said that, Huo Yi thought of something and said, "Sir, Guan Junhou's condition has worsened recently. Do you want to go to the mansion to visit him today?"

Huo Yi helped Huo Jun post the book and said, "The prince and your majesty will come together to collect news. If it is inconvenient for me to go with you, I will return home."

Huo Jun frowned and sighed, pasted the last scarf in his hand on the wooden board, and said: "Junhou Guan is ill today, and I am going to visit him as my father. If there is something urgent at home, just go to Guan Mansion and let him know." "

Seeing that Bu trainer was busy and ignored him, Huo Yi went to find Huo Jun who was showing off his military skills.

It rained continuously, and most of the streets in Qianmo were flooded. Although the floods have receded, traces of the floods can still be seen along Huo Jun's road. And as Bu Lianshi said, Zhuge Liang had already arranged manpower for rescue. Along the way there were mostly soldiers to maintain order and officials responsible for relieving the victims.

"Yesterday, I heard from the prince in the palace that Lord Yanguan wanted to mount his horse for training, but unexpectedly he fell off the horse. Now his chest is swollen and uncomfortable, and the injury from the arrow left behind has become more serious." Huo Yi said.

Bu Lianshi glared at Huo Yi and said, "This is an important place in the capital. If you provide private rescue after a disaster, aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

"What's the matter?"

During the last visit, the attendants of the Guan Mansion learned about Huo Jun's identity and hurriedly informed Guan Ping. Under Guan Ping's guidance, Huo Jun was able to see Guan Yu resting on the couch.

Compared with the last time they met, Huo Jun found that Guan Yu now no longer had the burly figure of the past, but was replaced by a thin body. The uneven black and white beard has also turned grey. There were also scratches on his face from falling off a horse.

Huo Jun entered the room, saluted Guan Yu where he was staying, raised his hands and said, "Jun heard that the general is not feeling well, so he came here to visit the general today."

"Zhong Miao!"

"Ahem!" When Guan Yu saw Huo Jun who came to visit him, Guan Yu tried his best to get up from the couch in order to maintain his demeanor, coughing continuously during the process. Guan Ping stepped forward and gently tapped Guan Yu's back, which made Guan Yu feel more relaxed and comfortable.

"If the general is inconvenient, he can rest on the couch without getting up." Huo Jun said.

"No need!"

Guan Yu sat up from the couch, put on his outer robe, and with Guan Ping's help, went to the outer hall and sat down.

Guan Ping served Huo Jun tea and said, "Huo Du, my father is not feeling well and has trouble moving. I hope you can forgive Haihan if he doesn't take good care of him now."

Huo Jun reached out to take the tea cup and asked with concern: "We haven't seen him for several days. Why is the general's condition getting worse?"

Guan Ping wanted to say something, but Guan Yu reached out to stop him.

"nothing!"

Guan Yu sat upright as much as possible and said: "Yu's illness will not be cured for a long time. I should be thinking of you!"

"A general is a general who serves the country, so he should take good care of his health."

Huo Jun asked his attendants to serve ginseng and said: "Liaodong ginseng is a nourishing substance for the blood. It is Jun's heart. If the general does not dislike it, he can boil it into a medicinal soup and take it."

With that said, he asked the attendant to hand it over to Guan Ping.

Guan Yu glanced at the ginseng with long beard and yellow body, cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you Zhongmiao for the gift."

"It's just a small gift, it's not respectful!" Huo Jun said.

Guan Yu drank tea, coughed a few times, and said: "Yu has read a lot of military books in recent days. Looking at the military sciences, everyone has made great achievements. In ancient times, the most powerful soldiers in the Warring States Period were Bai Qi, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Lian Po, Wu Qi and a few others. .He helped Emperor Gaozu conquer the world and only recommended the three generals Han Xin, Peng Yue and Yingbu."

"And Zhong Miao has a good knowledge of military science, writes books and establishes it, and is a famous general in the world. Yu has a question in his mind, I wonder if Zhong Miao can explain it to Yu?"

"General Guan, please speak!"

Guan Yu slightly stroked his beard and said: "Among the many famous generals in the Warring States Period of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, in terms of their outstanding military exploits, Yu thought Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was the leader; Emperor Gao conquered the world and established the foundation of the Han family. Among the three generals, he singled out Han Xingong. Gao Mingsheng. But I wonder if Zhong Miao thinks Bai or Han are stronger?"

Hearing this, Huo Jun looked thoughtful and asked, "Which one does Yun Chang think is stronger, Bai or Han?"

Guan Yu smiled a few times and said: "Han Xing's troops were flying in the east and west to help Gaozu return the Three Qin Dynasties. He crossed the great river and quickly descended to Anyi, destroying Wei and breaking the dynasty; fighting against the water, breaking Jingxing, destroying Zhao and surrendering Yan; flooding the Weishui River to flood the enemy. After slaying the dragon, he sent troops to Qi. He joined forces with Emperor Gaozu and surrounded Xiang Yu. He was besieged on all sides, overthrowing Chu and reviving Han."

"It is expected that although Bai Qi defeated the coalition forces with Yique, flooded Yanying, and defeated Zhao in Changping. However, judging from his lifetime achievements, more than 70 cities were lowered. Although he had unparalleled achievements, it was difficult to compare with Han Xin."

Huo Jun put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "The reason why Han Xin went to the Hebei countries was mainly because Gaozu and Xiang Yu fought in Xingyang. Without Gaozu to contain the heavy troops, how could Han Xin destroy the Hebei countries without any worries?"

"Bai Qi joined the army. In the battle of Yique, he defeated the allied forces of Han and Wei with half of his army. In the battle of Yanying, he sent tens of thousands of troops deep into the Chu territory. The city of Yan was flooded, and the soldiers broke through Xiling. Drinking Ma Changjiang; in the battle of Huayang, Bai Qi drove his elite troops to defeat Zhao and Wei. In the battle of Changping, he will overthrow the Zhao Kingdom. Therefore, Bai Qi's troops are all prepared, and in terms of the excellence of his generals, he is no less good than Han Xin."

"Han Xin's general was able to annihilate the Hebei kingdoms and help the great ancestor build the foundation of the Han Dynasty for three generations. He was famous for his great achievements. Bai Qi led the army and marched straight in, weakened Chu, defeated the three Jins, and helped Qin establish China. Each of these two has its own merits. There are no two more powerful military strategists in history than the director, and they are both heroes of the times."

"But if I want to find out who is stronger, Bai or Han, I think I should recommend Wu Anjun!"

Guan Yu looked thoughtful and asked: "How to divide them?"

Huo Jun stroked his moustache and said: "Han Xin has outstanding talents and handsome soldiers, even Bai Qi can't match him. However, he has experienced so many battles and defeated many enemy troops, Bai Qi should be the first. The reason why Han Xin is not as good as Bai Qi , not because of insufficient military strategy, but because of the limitations of the human heart."

"Han Xin went to Qi, but he harmed Li Shiqi; he held the ground and watched the battle, hoping to become the false king of Qi. He harmed the ministers because of his greed for power, and held the troops without aiding the master. A warrior can stop fighting. Therefore, in terms of martial arts, Han Xin is not as good as Bai Qi. Where.”

Li Shiqi is no small role. He and his younger brother Li Shang are Liu Bang's real angel investors. Among Liu Bang's advisers, Li Shiqi, as adviser and foreign minister, was one of the few who could compete with Zhang Liang.

Han Xin killed Li Shiqi in order to achieve Qi's merits; he also pretended to be the king of Qi and refused to save him. In Huo Jun's eyes, this is not a plus, but a minus. Bai Qizong was excellent in politics, but he always considered everything from the national perspective.

Guan Yu was thoughtful, coughed a few times, and said: "Although what Zhong Miao said is not in merit, but what he said is in the people. Han is not as good as Bai, Yu thinks so!"

After saying that, Guan Yu stood up with difficulty, saluted Huo Jun, and said: "In the future, if you revive the Han Dynasty, you should be the king of Duolai!"

"Don't dare!"
