Liu Bang is now Juchaohou. Juchao County in Lujiang County was his fief. but. Through several wars. Liu Xin has taken back all the fiefs of all the Han clan kinsmen in his jurisdiction. Since then. No matter what title. Will no longer have fiefdoms. You can only receive a certain salary based on the rank of the title.
In other words. After Liu Bang was renamed Chang Lehou. You no longer have your own fief. You can only receive your salary monthly. What is Changle. Contented people often enjoy. Liu Xin wants to designate Liu Bang as Chang Lehou. That is to remind him that he should be content.
Jushou is a smart man. Know immediately. He smiled and said, "This is the first Lord Lord to be named. He should really be content."
Liu Xin shook his head. Said: "The world is unpredictable. I'm afraid that some people don't know how to be satisfied."
A corner of the campsite. Liu Bei was feeding the war horse outside the tent alone. From time to time, I looked up and looked around. He wanted to share a tent with Liu Bang. But suddenly two guards came and took Liu Bang away. but. Liu Bei was not in a hurry. He believed. After arriving in Xiangyang. He will have a lot of time and opportunity to get close to Liu Bang.
A day's journey today. Liu Bei didn't feel very tired. He already knew it was because the horse he was riding was equipped with stirrups. And while feeding the horses personally. The careful Liu Bei made a new discovery. Iron palms are nailed to all four hooves of this horse. Liu Bei took a breath. No wonder Liu Xin's cavalry can be invincible. It turned out to be on a horse alone. There are so many new things. Liu Bei quietly wrote down these. For your own use in the future.
At dawn. The team continued on their way. Liu Bei still rides a war horse with Liu Bang. but. There are a few more capable knights around him today. Almost inseparable from them. Liu Bei is very clear. These people are obviously guards sent by Liu Xin. In his bones, he was watching his eyes and ears.
In the evening. Two figures flashed into Liu Xin's tent. After a while, he retreated. Liu Xin muttered to herself: "Huh. Good Liu Bei. I think how long you will pretend."
All the way to Xiangyang. Liu Bei didn't say anything outrageous to Liu Bang. Just seriously teach him how to control the horse. Unfortunately, Liu Bang was born short and fat. The coordination of the body is too poor. Liu Bei put a lot of effort into it. After all, Liu Bang failed to learn how to ride a horse by himself.
Standing under the magnificent Xiangyang City. Looking at the wide moat in front of him and the stone bridge like a long snake. Liu Xin, Zhang Xi and others all feel at home. Even Zhang Fei, who has always been rough and reckless. I thought I could see my sweet wife and children right away. There was also a hint of warmth in my heart. Guan Yu was shocked. He is a battle-tested general. At a glance, you can see that Xiangyang City can be described as solid. Such a city. Even if you give him one hundred thousand elite soldiers. It's not even a year or a half. But Liu Bei's mood is much more complicated. His eyes flickered. Full of envy, jealousy and hatred. If he could have such a city as his foundation. Don't worry about breaking out of the world.
This is the east gate of Xiangyang City. People living in Dongcheng District are all dignitaries. Ordinary people will not go in and out from here. It seemed a little deserted at the city gate. but. The guards of the city gates are all elite soldiers. The murderous aura exuded from them. Liu Bang couldn't help shivering.
At the city gate. A team of civil and military greeted them hurriedly. The first person's complexion was scorched. A pair of big iron halberds were held under the ribs. It is Dian Wei. Immediately behind Dianwei were Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, Wenpin and other civil servants. Everyone came to Liu Xin. Together they folded their hands and said, "Welcome the lord (elder brother)."
Liu Xin laughed. He waved his hand and said, "Go. Go into the city."
Liu Bei's eyes searched the crowd. Zhao Yun was not found. He is quite knowledgeable. The first time I saw Zhao Yun in Luoyang that year. Know that this person is a loyal and brave general. I really want to take it for my own use. But it failed. but. He can see it too. These civil and military in front of me. All of them are not simple. If these people can be used by him. Calming the world is just around the corner. but. I saw how these people were loyal to Liu Xin. Liu Bei could not help but sigh secretly.
Dian Wei and others have just heard the news of Liu Xin's return. Only then hurried to the city gate to greet. After entering the east gate. Guo Jia, Chen Gong, and Wenpin all quit. They have their own functions. And we all know that Liu Xin doesn't like these false articles. That's it. What surprised Liu Bei was. Zhang Fei, Zhang Xi, Xu Chu and others all have their own residences in the city of Xiangyang. After entering the city. Actually, they also bid farewell to Liu Xin one by one. Each went home.
then. Only Dian Wei, who succeeded Xu Chu as the guard, followed Liu Xin. Tian Feng, who presided over the staff. And Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Liu Bang who have no residence in the city of Xiangyang.
Liu Xin jumped off the horse. Throw the rein to the guard next to him. Said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao. Xuande and their residences have been arranged."
Tian Feng said, "Go back to the lord. The three houses have been cleaned up. The guards, servants, maidservants, and an application tool are all available."
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Then please Mr. Yuan Hao to arrange for Xuande and Liu Bang to stay. Yun Chang. You will come back to the prefecture and animal husbandry with me. There is a surprise for you."
Tian Feng hesitated: "Dare to ask the lord. Do you want to take Young Master Liu Bang back to see his wife first."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "No need. It will grow in the future."
Tian Feng is also a human being. Some clues can be seen from Liu Xin's attitude. Hehe smiled. So he took Liu Bei and Liu Bang and retreated.
Near the gate of the State Shepherd House. suddenly. A beautiful young woman rushed over with her skirt in both hands. He threw himself into Liu Xin's arms. He beat his chest hard. Angrily, he said, "You die Liu Xin. It's good to go back in two months at most. But it's been nearly half a year. Isn't it..."
Look at the entire Jingzhou. Dare to call Liu Xin's name and taboo face to face. Except for Ma Yun, there was no second person to come. Liu Xin smiled awkwardly. Consolingly said: "I'm back here. Let's talk about it. There are outsiders here. Save me face."
"Hmph. All turned around. Don't look at it." Ma Yun looked up. Roared at Dian Wei and the other guards. Suddenly saw Guan Yu and Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang behind him. A smile appeared on his face again. Nodded towards Guan Yu. Said. "This must be General Guan. My master often mentions you in letters."
in fact. Ma Yun had known for a long time that Liu Xin would bring Guan Yu's family into the mansion. I also heard Liu Xin talk about outsiders here. Naturally, I guess it. and. Even if she didn't know Guan Yu was coming. See the iconic big red face and long beard. Can also guess who this tall man is.
to be frank. Guan Yu stayed with Liu Bei for a long time. The idea that men are superior to women has penetrated into the bones. For Ma Yun's style, he is not too cold. Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at other places. But seeing Dian Wei just grinning. The guards were also indifferent. Even the veiled woman with Liu Xin. It just blinked those big nice eyes. A smile is not a smile. Obviously such a situation has long been commonplace for them.
but. I heard Ma Yun take the initiative to greet him. Guan Yu still held a fist very politely. Said: "At the end, I will pay a visit to Madam."
Ma Yun waved her hand. But passed by Guan Yu. Came to Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang. I looked up and down. He smiled and said: "These two must be Mrs. Guan. Sure enough, they are beautiful and beautiful. A pair of beauties."
Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang hurriedly saluted. But Ma Yun stopped him and said, "Mrs. Guan don't need to be polite. Be careful of your fetal gas."
Diao Chan just greeted him at this time. Then he squeezed his eyes at Ma Yun and said, "Sister. My sister's trip to the south of the Yangtze River has finally fulfilled her mission..."
"Haha. My sister has been working hard all the way. Go. Go inside and tell the sisters interesting stories about Jiangnan." Ma Yun said haha. Then she glanced at Du Xiuniang, who had the beauty of the country and the city. Said. "My master and General Guan still have important matters to discuss. It is better for the two ladies to join me in the mansion and rest for a while."
Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang knew that the woman in front of them had a high status in the prefecture. Don't dare to refuse now. Followed Ma Yun and entered the mansion through the side door.
Guan Yu frowned. He handed over and said: "This lady of the lord is bold and does not lose to the man. It's just. It's just..."
Liu Xin was still recollecting what Diao Chan said just now about fulfilling mission. Hearing half of what Guan Yu said, he hesitated and couldn't continue. He couldn't help but smiled: "Yun Chang wants to say that my wife is a little tough. In fact, she is not the most powerful. There is another one in my house who is more sturdy than her. Lu Bu was teamed up by the two of them back then. Wounded. Who says women are inferior to men. Don’t underestimate women."
Guan Yu really looked down on women. But I heard that Ma Yun and Liu Xin's other wife had joined forces to hurt Lu Bu. Can not help but stand in awe.
Liu Xin patted Guan Yu on the shoulder. Said: "Don't be stunned. Let's go. I have a surprise to tell you later."
Came to the lobby of the State Shepherd House. Liu Xin and Guan Yu are divided into guest and host. Dianwei has taken over the duties of Xu Chu's guard. Standing beside Liu Xin with the big iron halberd. Two little maidservants brought tea. Guan Yu thanked him. It hasn't had time to ask Liu Xin what surprises he has. I saw a teenager rushing into the door.
The boy was born with a stupid brain. Carrying a small cloth bag. Go straight to Liu Xin. He shouted crisply: "Father. You can come back. I want to die Yu'er."
Liu Xin grabbed the young man's hand. Said: "Yu'er. Why don't you study hard in the academy. What do you do when you come back? Don't you want to play truant?"
That boy was naturally Liu Yu, Liu Xin's real eldest son.
Liu Yu patted his chest and said. "Father. Don't worry. Yu'er will never play truant. These days when you are not at home. Yu'er's homework dare not fall in the slightest. The boxing technique you teach. Yu'er is much more proficient."
Guan Yu had met Liu Bang. If you let him choose. He prefers the young man in front of him. Can't help asking: "Lord. This must be the second son."
His eldest son was instantly downgraded to the second son. The look on Liu Xin's face was a bit weird. Pat Liu Yu on the shoulder. Said: "Yu'er. I don't want to see General Guan soon."
Liu Yu bowed to Guan Yu. Said: "Good Uncle Long Beard."
Liu Xin heard this nondescript title. Can't help laughing. Guan Yu looked at this vigorous young man. But the circles under my eyes are red.
The author has something to say
Yesterday I came back late from a business trip. I hurried to finish a chapter. I looked at it myself and felt very dissatisfied, so I didn't dare to publish it. I got up early today and I overturned that chapter and rewritten it, so today’s update is a bit late, please forgive me. Today's second chapter may be too late in the morning, and it will definitely be released before three in the afternoon. Thank you for your support.
