Chapter 174 Xiangyang Emergency (Part 2)

Updated: 2012-08-31

Empress Zhang is an enlightened mother and a tolerant queen. When the palace was fighting for power, Empress Zhang would rather give up some power and want to maintain peace in the palace. This is a sensible idea. But this time, among Liu Chan's many descendants, only Liu Dong is his own flesh and blood. Such a dangerous thing that happened to an assassin made it difficult for the mother to let go. Just seeing Liu Dong still crying, who wouldn't feel sorry for him?

The palace maid who died of poisoning was confirmed as the murderer of the prince in the palace that year, and it was difficult to find out his identity. The Chen Qi clan and Huang Hao's lineage disappeared more than ten years ago. Even though this woman was from the two families, she was only at the stage of speculation. If you want to confirm, there is no way to prove it. All those who can prove it are dead. Even if this person is Chen Qi or Huang Hao's gangster, can the dead be reborn to identify it? In desperation, the matter was temporarily pressed by Prince Liu Chen and not allowed to spread the situation, so as to avoid the situation escalation and causing panic.

But if such a thing happened, I always sent someone to Jianye to report to Liu Chan. The final result of the matter was the final decision of the Shu Han emperor. When it comes to Liu Chan and His Majesty, Liu Dong cried again in the arms of Empress Zhang. From Liu Dong to now ten years old, the father and son have been together for no more than a year. Liu Chan may be a good emperor, but he is definitely not a good father.

Queen Zhang coaxed her for a while before asking the reason. It turned out that Liu Dong wanted to see her father. How could Liu Chan see her? If you want to see her, you can only follow the messenger who sent the message. It takes ten months to arrive from Chengdu to Jianye to alternate water and land. The journey along the way was so hard and hard, not very safe. Liu Chan had a son and loved Liu Dong very much. Although he was not in Chengdu, every time he wrote letters, he asked Liu Dong about his recent situation and guided his development direction. Liu Chan was so concerned that he sometimes felt sorry for Liu Chen. His childhood was not as happy as Liu Dong, and even his father at that time looked at him indifferently.

Occasionally I found a few sons to take school studies, which was just a routine matter. With the then crown prince Liu Rui, what kind of care can Liu Chen, who ranked fifth?

Empress Zhang could not resist Liu Dong's tricks, and Liu Chen could not resist Empress Zhang's majesty. Sima Shengzhi wanted to speak without any stance. He was just pardoned by Empress Zhang for not being guilty. It was difficult to speak again on Liu Dong's issue. In desperation, the Crown Prince Liu Chen said: "The new recruits in Sichuan happened to be finished training recently. Since the mother insisted on doing this, why would it be better to escort these new recruits to Jianye to pay homage to his father? What did the mother's intentions?"

Seeing this, Empress Zhang said happily: "It's so good, I'm not relieved to travel thousands of miles away. It's better to have military escorts. But it's just that a capable minister can go with you so that Your Majesty can understand all the affairs of Sichuan."

"The mother does not need to worry. There is already someone in my heart. Qiao Dengbo, the grandson of Qiao, is knowledgeable and has extraordinary talent, but he can be an envoy for this." Crown Prince Liu Chen knew very well about the affairs of the court and had a very detailed understanding of the ministers. He had almost no need to think about it, and had already decided the most suitable candidate in his heart.

"Li Zhaoyi, I will entrust the queen with you, so I can rest assured." Empress Zhang had no objection when she heard this, and turned to a beautiful maid behind her and said.

The elegant maid was not outstanding in purple, but fresh and beautiful, as elegant as water. She showed her heroic appearance in every move. She was the most beloved palace maid Li Zhaoyi around Queen Zhang. Hearing that the queen entrusted the prince to him, Li Zhaoyi came to the front of the hall and knelt on the ground and said, "I will do my best to take good care of the prince. Please rest assured."

At this time, Liu Dong had no longer cried or made a fuss. When he heard that Prince Liu Chen allowed him to see his father, he happily ran to Prince Liu Chen's arms and hibernated. In name, Liu Chen was Liu Dong's brother, but he was over thirty years older. Liu Chen's own children were older than Liu Dong, and Liu Chen also loved this young brother very much.

"Take good care of the prince and take good care of Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been in the military for many years. You must serve Your Majesty well, right?" The meaning of Queen Zhang's words was different. Liu Dong didn't know that he was just playing. Liu Chen and Sima Shengzhi, who was beside him, were both shocked when he heard this. Queen Zhang is worthy of being a mother Yi, and this move undoubtedly made Li Zhaoyi the concubine next to His Majesty. Although such a love is shocking, he has to admire Queen Zhang's broad mind. Although Your Majesty is old, he is no different from ordinary soldiers and generals. He works hard every day and has little rest. Even if there are women around him, he is not as thoughtful and careful as Queen Zhang. Whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangnan, no matter how many or beautiful the women are, it is not as reassuring as the women in the palace.

Two days later, outside the Dongcheng Gate of Chengdu, Queen Zhang and Crown Prince Liu Chen led all civil and military officials to personally practice for the little prince Liu Dong. In addition to practice, there was also a military parade. The seven thousand Shu troops were clearly dressed and armored, and they arranged formations on the road one by one. The Shu troops were uniform, with clear commands, and obedience, and they revealed murderous aura everywhere and majesty everywhere! A young general kept dancing the flag on the command platform and practicing the formation. It was Zhuge Shang, the chief son of the Shu Han Yulin Camp, the eldest son of Zhuge Zhan, the general of Shu Han far away in Jianye!

After the drill, the Sichuan Chinese civil and military officials kept pursing their hands and praises. Zhuge Wuhou was indeed well-known. Such generals must have been appreciated and valued by Your Majesty when they arrived in front of the army. Zhuge Zhan was frivolous at that time and was considered useless. Now Zhuge Zhan has become Liu Chan's right-hand man, and has made many military achievements in Nanzhong, Hainan, and Jiangdong. The tiger father has no dog son, let alone the grandson of the dragon?

Everything was ready, and the team left Chengdu in a mighty manner and headed eastward. The route of this trip was already well planned. He ran all the way to Badong in Sichuan, and took a boat from Badong down the Yangtze River to Jianye. A palace servant Li Zhaoyi was responsible for taking care of the little prince Liu Dong's food, clothing, housing and transportation. General Zhang Tong, the hall in front, led 500 Imperial Guards to protect the safety of the little prince. Zhuge Shang, the Yulin College Captain, led 7,000 new recruits to escort along the way. The Shangshu Lang Qiao Deng was responsible for the matters in Sichuan. The ferry captain, Yang Zong, was responsible for the water army affairs. The palace entourage guards, etc., were about 85,600 people.

Only more than thirty miles away in Chengdu, I saw a carriage blocking the road ahead. Zhuge Shang frowned and raised his arm. The seven thousand new recruits stopped in place without any panic. Liu Dong and others, who were wrapped in the formation, showed up and looked around to understand what had happened.

"Hahahahahahaha, the descendant of Zhuge Wuhou is indeed well-known. Such soldiers can be called good soldiers in the world." An old and hoarse voice in the carriage sounded, and there was a hidden sound of dragon roaring and tiger roaring.

After hearing what he said, Zhuge Shang knew that the old man in this car was definitely not simple, and his intentions and momentum had a sense of looking down on the world!

"Dare you ask me who is the boss? Why did you stop me from going?"

"Sir! The diving is here!" Before Zhuge Shang finished speaking, Li Zhaoyi and Zhang Tong protected the little prince Liu Dong and showed their heads from the army. Liu Dong shouted and ran towards the chariot that blocked the road.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for a long time." When the old man saw Liu Dong, he said a little more loving in his words and laughed happily. At this time, everyone present realized that the old man in the carriage was Mr. Qingcheng who taught the little prince to become a talent.

There was not much car added to Mr. Qingcheng in the ranks. After a greeting, the team continued to move forward. Liu Dong and Mr. Qingcheng were very close. The two of them took a car together and talked a lot in detail. Where can we station troops along the way, where can we set up ambush, where can we guard against water, and where can we prevent waterways. Mr. Qingcheng said, "It's endless and continuous," and it made Liu Dong so intoxicated that Zhuge Shang and other Shu generals were secretly shocked.

Liu Dong was also very smart. He quickly asked many questions, one old and one young, and one young people were verbally quarreled. When talking about the general trend of the world, Mr. Qingcheng had his own opinions. He talked loudly about the Shu army constantly heading eastward. Zhuge Shang was a man of both civil and military affairs, Qiao Deng was a civil servant, Yang Zong and Zhang Tong were pure military officials, and everyone communicated privately. Mr. Qingcheng, whether it was civil and military affairs, whether it was military strategy, or political governance in the world, had unique insights and profound meanings! Even the first-class civil and military officials in the court were probably not inferior to those of them!

Why have you never heard of such a character?

A few days later, everyone arrived in Yong'an, but saw that Yong'an City was in a state of security. The troops in the city were mobilized continuously. A Shu army quickly headed east under the banner of "Guan". When everyone was surprised, the prefect of Yong'an came to see him and told him something amazing - Your Majesty was defeated in Xiangyang and was trapped in Xiangyang by more than 100,000 Wei troops!

This news just reached Yong'an... But the land of Xiangyang is full of corpses and bloody battles...
Chapter completed!
