Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 331 Finale (End)

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: In the fifth year of Zhangwu, Haizhou County was attacked by thieves of unknown origin. Emperor Zhaolie and Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming asked all the officials, but none of them knew the origin of the thieves.The Empress Prince Liu Feng said: Zhao Botao, Marquis of Chai Sang, has a wide range of knowledge and aspirations. You can ask him.The emperor followed his words, so he summoned Zhao Feng to the court for consultation, but he knew that the thieves came from Dongying Island.

In the summer of the sixth year of Zhangwu, all the sea-going ships were built. Liu Bei took the former hussar general Zhao Feng as his commander, Zhendong General Gan Ning as his deputy, and Prince Liu Feng as his supervisor.The army was tossed and turbulent on the sea for many days before it reached Fusang.Under Zhao Feng's strong instruction, the [-] troops copied what they did in Jiaozhou back then, killing all the adult men in the Fusang Islands, taking the underage men as slaves, and escorting them back to the big man.For a while, the four islands of Fusang were reduced to dead islands without men.Decades later, the Fusang clan completely perished.

The army passed through the land of Sanhan on the return voyage. At this time, Sanhan had already been pacified by Ma Dai, and Ma Dai himself was granted the title of King of Han and stationed in Liaodong and Sanhan.Unexpectedly, when Ma Dai was receiving the wind for the army, Goguryeo joined Fuyu to attack the army and robbed the army.Ma Dai was furious, and led his army to pacify the two countries, killing more than [-] people in Goguryeo, which no one dared to do.

In the winter of the sixth year of Zhangwu, Huo Jun, the governor of Yizhou, died of illness. Liu Bei asked the ministers who could be the governor of Yizhou. Everyone said that Zhao Feng, Marquis of Chai Sang, had been in the battlefield for a long time, was familiar with civil affairs, and was powerful in foreign lands. He could be the governor of Yizhou. .Liu Bei then ordered Zhao Feng to be the Duke of Yue and the governor of Yizhou to guard the island.Zhao Feng and his family led more than [-] people from the old army to the island. Since then, they have devoted themselves to the development of Yizhou and will not return to the mainland easily.

In the tenth year of Zhangwu, Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei abdicated, and was said to be the crown prince Liu Feng. Since then, he has lived in the ancient city of Runan with Guan Yu, the king of Xiangyang, and Zhang Fei, the king of Fufeng.After Liu Feng came to the throne, he changed the Yuan to Jianxing, which was the first year of Jianxing.At that time, the barbarians of the Western Regions took advantage of the instability of the state affairs at the beginning of the new king's succession, so they united with Wusun, Dawan and other countries to attack.In order to establish his prestige, Liu Feng sent hussar general Lu Xun to lead an army of 30 to meet the coalition forces.Lu Xun's troops went out to the Western Regions, and he made clever plans to defeat the Western Regions allied forces, beheading Wusun and the heads of Prince Dawan.But to everyone's surprise, the biggest hero in this battle was not Guan Xing and other famous generals, but the relatively unknown partial general Deng Ai.Liu Feng was overjoyed, and ordered Deng Ai to be the general who conquered the West, and to be the imperial court's permanent town in the Western Regions.

In the sixth year of Jianxing, the Supreme Emperor Liu Bei was critically ill.According to rumors from the servants, the night before Liu Bei's death, several people went to visit him in his bedroom, and among them was Zhao Feng, the governor of Yizhou who had rushed back from Yizhou.In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei passed away peacefully.

Time flies, and ten years later, it is the 16th year of Jianxing, 236 AD.On this day, a special guest came to the Mausoleum of Emperor Han Zhaolie outside Luoyang City.

"Old Liu, I'm here to see you again!" Caressing the tombstone in front of him, Zhao Feng, who was almost sixty years old, also sighed.I'm really not young anymore. I've never been so tired by boat from Taiwan to the mainland.Followed by his grandson, the child didn't know why his grandfather brought him here, but he just looked at this chilling cemetery, and he didn't dare to jump around even though he was always lively.

"Liu Feng is a good emperor, he does things very decently, and everything about the big man is fine. A Dou is also good. I don't plan to leave when I come back this year. Let him go to Yizhou to continue working." Recalling the relationship between myself and Liu Bei Throughout their lives, although the two had had suspicions and wariness, in the end, harmony outweighed estrangement.It's okay for the monarch and his subjects to get along for this sake.

"Sometimes I also think about our days in Pingyuan. At that time, we were really happy and carefree. In the blink of an eye, you have been gone for ten years, and Guan Erye has been gone for six years. I went to see Brother Fei yesterday, and he has been in poor health since autumn this year. Even if he can survive this winter, he will see you soon."

"Last year, Wen Yuan and Yuan Zhi left, and Zilong left at the beginning of spring this year. The days of the old brothers are numbered!" Zhao Feng seemed to be talking to Liu Bei, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Second Master Guan, I'm sorry. Although my son was young, he still abducted your daughter Yinping. I was on the island but I couldn't come back for a wedding drink. Today I brought their son Let me show you. But don't be angry, not only your daughter, but also Brother Fei and A Liang's daughters, except for Xingcai and A Dou who went to Yizhou, let him catch all the rest. This kid has been in Xuzhou since After graduating from the academy, he actually joined the army, and now Liangzhou and Deng Ai are leading the army together, he behaves very much like me, and he treats your daughter very well, so you can rest assured."

Zhao Feng babbled on for a long time, until his grandson reminded himself loudly: "Grandpa, how many people are coming over there!"

"Xingguo, Tanzhi?" Zhao Feng looked back, but saw that it was Guan Ping and Guan Xing brothers who came.After all, Guan Xing is still very young, but there are crow's feet in the corners of his eyes; Guan Ping is not so young anymore, but due to years of martial arts practice, his body is still in good condition, and he still walks so smoothly.

"Greetings, General!" Seeing Zhao Feng, Guan Ping was about to salute meticulously, but was held up by the latter. "Frankly, you and I are both over half a hundred years old, why are you talking so much about etiquette!" Zhao Feng said with a slight frown.Guan Ping is good at everything else, but he is too reserved, and the older he gets, the more formal he becomes.

"Father-in-law, it's really the right time for you to come back this time, and there is a battle to be fought!" Guan Xing was not so formal, but smiled authentically.The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, before Zhao Feng asked: "Xingguo, what's the matter, we're going to fight again this time, are you afraid?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, those barbarians are my opponents!" Guan Xing laughed.While talking, Zhang Bao and others also came, today is the anniversary of Guan Yu's death, all the younger nephews came to pay respects, Zhao Feng also met at the right time.

In the spring of the 16th year of Jianxing, Emperor Liu Feng of the Han Dynasty took Deng Ai, the general who conquered the West, as his marshal, and led 20 troops to the Western Regions to meet the army of the Roman Empire.Deng Ai fought successively, but the number of the Roman Empire was too large, and a stalemate formed in Central Asia for a while.

In the autumn of that year, Zhang Fei, Zhao Feng, Wei Yan, Pang De, Ma Dai and other ten founding generals of the imperial court asked for orders to lead an expedition to the Western Regions.The emperor followed his words, took Zhang Fei as commander, commanded 20 troops, and then conquered the Western Regions.After repeated hard battles, the Roman coalition forces were finally broken and hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were killed.But in the spring of the following year, on the way to the teacher's class, the general Zhang Fei died of illness and was in the army. The emperor was very sad when he heard the news.But in this battle, the person who made the greatest contribution was General Zhenwei Zhao Zheng, the son of former Hussar General Zhao Feng.He personally led the rattan armored soldiers to smash the Roman convoy, which established the overall victory of the battle.The emperor discussed his merits, worshiped him as the general of Zhenxi, and shared the Western Regions with Deng Ai.After this battle, the Western Roman Empire fell into a slump and was destroyed by Deng Ai and Zhao Zheng six years later.

The next year, the emperor wanted to imitate Gaozu's story and draw pictures of the founding generals for the Lingyan Pavilion.Although many people were gone at that time, the descendants competed for the rankings and came to the table one after another.The emperor was overwhelmed, so he asked Zhuge Liang, the old prime minister, and said brightly: "General Zhao's contribution is the first in the founding of the country!"
