After the two armies returned to Xiangyang, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and wanted to wait for the edict of Emperor Xian to be issued, and award all the meritorious soldiers. However, there is still one happy event to be done, and that is Zhang Fei's marriage. Xia Houjuan had arrived in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu to manage Zhang Fei's marriage.
In Zhang Fei's mansion in Xiangyang City, Zhang Fei's family members are all busy. The huge front yard was filled with gifts.
Zhang Fei took hold of Uncle Wang, the housekeeper who was counting gifts, and asked, "Uncle Wang has so many gifts?"
Uncle Wang smiled and replied: "Master, these are all sent by the lord. They are used by the master to get married."
Looking at the dowry that almost filled the entire compound, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Uncle Wang, how much are these things in total, and how much are they worth."
Uncle Wang turned over the account book in his hand and said: "There are so many things that have not been counted. The details are not clear, but the value of the collection now is no less than five thousand gold."
'Five Thousand Gold' Zhang Fei was very happy after hearing this amount, thinking that this time the big brother was really generous. He said: "Uncle Wang, my eldest brother is so kind to my Lao Zhang, I have to go and thank him in person."
"Master, you don't need to give special thanks. The lord always regards the master as his own brother. It is good to accept these gifts. If you go to give special thanks, it will be a good thing."
Uncle Wang was the housekeeper of Zhang Fei Manor when he was in Zhuojun. Twenty years have passed now. Being shrewd and capable in the world is Zhang Fei's great helper, and he considers issues very thoughtfully.
"Well, it's better for Uncle Wang to consider the problem thoroughly."
Zhang Fei has always trusted Uncle Wang, and almost all housework is left to Uncle Wang.
After three days, Zhang Fei was overjoyed.
This day, the city of Xiangyang is full of joy, especially Zhang Fei's mansion is very lively. For nothing else, today is the day when Liu Bei's brother, Zhang Fei, the Han army's captive general, is celebrated. It is noteworthy that the bride is actually Xia Houjuan, the niece of Cao Jun general Xia Houyuan.
Zhang Mansion is very lively, the yard is full of happy characters, and the red lanterns are hanging high, a scene of prosperity. The entire Zhang Mansion is a sea of joy. In the originally empty mansion, at this moment, there is also an unprecedented situation of overcrowding.
Zhang Fei was dressed in a red robe and was very brightly colored. With his smile from the heart, he was even more burly and mighty.
"Yide is very charming. It's really enviable to marry the great beauty Xia Houjuan!" Zhuge Liang was the speaker, and his wife Huang Yueying was naturally the one who came with him.
Seeing Huang Yueying's presence, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Since Kong Ming is envious, why not go find more beauties. With your looks and talents, are you afraid that no beautiful women will favor you? But you have to settle the husband next to you first. Talent line."
Zhang Fei's words made Huang Yueying's face blush.
Just as Zhuge Liang wanted to refute, Zhang Fei with sharp eyes saw Liu Bei and Liu Xun slowly coming from a distance. Zhang Fei said aloud: "Big Brother and Young Master are here."
One sentence put Zhuge Liang's words back into his mouth. Together, the two walked quickly to Liu Bei, just about to salute. Liu Bei immediately stopped and said: "Today is Yi De's happy day. I am only waiting for guests who came to congratulate me as brothers and friends, and there is no need to salute."
The four chatted for a while, and then they heard the people outside the house shout loudly: "General Guan, come to congratulate."
When Liu Bei was overjoyed, he hurriedly said, "Chang Yun is here too, let's go see it together."
The four of them didn't walk a few steps before they saw Guan Yu, dressed in blue clothes, and looked like a man of dust. It was obvious that he had come from Nan County to attend Zhang Fei's wedding.
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he saw Liu Bei and the others, and after saying hello to them, he said to Zhang Fei: "Not long ago, he heard the news that his third brother was about to get married. Yu was overjoyed. Today, he came from Nanjun City to congratulate his third brother. ."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Second brother came from Nanjun City despite his hard work. Zhang Fei is grateful."
Guan Yu laughed and said, "How can Guan Yu not come to congratulate the third brother on the happy day."
Seeing the large number of guests, Liu Bei said: "Yide, you don't have to worry about us, go and greet others. We have been together for several years, so you don't have to be so polite."
Zhang Fei nodded and said yes, and went to greet other guests.
Soon, a high-decibel female voice came:
"It's a good time."
Amidst the congratulations from the crowd and a beaming atmosphere, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Juan finished worshipping heaven and earth, drank a cup of wine with her, and sent Xiahou Juan into the bridal chamber. Only then did Zhang Fei return to the outside and drink with everyone.
In accordance with the custom, Zhang Fei first gave his eldest brother Liu Bei a great wine.
At the urging of everyone, Zhang Fei had no choice but to walk into the banquet of relatives and friends.
Liu Bei toasted and said with joy: "I wish Yi De and his wife will be of one mind forever, and the white head will carry the old."
Zhang Fei smiled and toasted and thanked him: "Thanks to my good words, Zhang Fei thanked him." After saying that, he drank a full glass.
Liu Xun walked over holding the Jiu Jue, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, and said, "I didn't expect my third uncle to be sturdy in appearance, but he is quite charming, so let the girl Xiahoujuan marry me a thousand miles away."
When everyone heard it, Zhang Fei laughed. Not only was Zhang Fei not angry, but he also laughed with everyone, not to mention how happy he was.
Wei Yan patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Yide, don't be stingy. I want to take this opportunity to take a swig. If you have good wine, you can't hide it privately."
After Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "As long as Wei Yan is capable, you can drink more than two thousand altars of fine wine in Zhang's mansion. Then you can drink it."
As soon as Wei Yan heard it, he collapsed immediately. No matter how good his alcohol was, he didn't dare to say that he could drink up a thousand altars of wine. He smiled stupidly and said indifferently: "As long as Yi De lets me drink enough, let me You can do anything. Come, Wei Yan also wishes Yide a fat baby soon."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded in thanks, and drank the wine in his hand.
While everyone was laughing, the bead of sweat on Liu Bei's face kept running down. Liu Xun, who was next to him, discovered the situation in time, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with my father?"
Liu Beiqiang endured the pain and whispered: "Don't say anything, help me go back."
……
After several months of treatment, Liu Bei's condition still did not improve. Knowing that his destiny had arrived, Liu Bei ordered Liu Xun and everyone to come in one by one.
Seeing Liu Xun's arrival, Liu Bei worked hard to cheer up and said, "Your talent is no less than mine. The only shortcoming is that you are too young and inexperienced. However, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang and others, the problem should not be big. Now the world is in chaos. If you want to win the final victory, you must be based on the people. With the support of the people, the power can continue to grow and grow. After I die, you will take my seat, and you must treat your subordinates with kindness and power..."
Hearing this, Liu Xun couldn't help it anymore, tears streaming down his eyes, and said sadly, "Father, you will be fine."
After Liu Bei heard it, he sighed deeply and continued: "Xun'er, destiny cannot be changed by humans. I haven't awarded the rewards for the merits of the soldiers last time. After you succeed to the throne, you can reward the soldiers with merits. In this way, they will be kind to them. Besides, you have repeatedly made military exploits and have established prestige in everyone's hearts. In this way, everyone will definitely be convinced of you."
"The lord, the military division and the generals and officials are here."
The servant came in and said.
"Please come in everyone."
Seeing that all the generals and officials in Jingzhou are all here, they have a strong spirit and said to everyone: "You are all important ministers of Jingzhou. After I die, you must do your best to assist Young Master Liu Xun. As long as everyone is of the same mind, you will be able to Kuang help the big man and revive the Han room!"
After that, Liu Bei died for a long time.
In October of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Liu Bei died a long time ago in the Mu Mansion of Jingzhou Prefecture. A day later, Mrs. Mi left because of excessive sadness.
Three days later, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, Liu Xun succeeded Jingzhou Mu and General Zuo. Liu Xun wanted to keep his filial piety and succeed him after three months. However, because during the war, the princes of the world had a strong eye for Jingzhou after hearing of Liu Bei's death, Liu Xun had to succeed in advance and take over the burden.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Liu Xun named Zhuge Liang as Military General and General Zuo General Shi, Guan Yu as General Zhaowu, Zhao Yun as General Zhaode, Zhang Fei as General Jianwu, and Huang Zhong as General Yangwu. Four products. He also promoted Wei Yan to General Yamen and Gan Ning to General Kou Kou, both of which were rank five. Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Huo Jun were all promoted to partial generals. Ma Liang was also appointed as the prefect of Nanjun, assisting Guan Yu to defend Nanjun and Jingnan four counties to prevent Jiangdong's sneak attack.
For other meritorious officers, Liu Xun also awarded them one by one according to their merits.
Liu Xun was originally very prestigious, but now he is clearly rewarded and punished, and everyone supports him. However, Liu Xun's heart is still under great pressure. After all, he is only eighteen years old, yet he has to take over such a heavy burden. However, he knew that worrying was useless. He had to cheer himself up to stabilize the situation and contend for the hegemony.
Thinking of this, Liu Xun cheered up, cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Now that the world is divided, the Han Dynasty is in danger and the people are not living. The first master has just created the foundation, but he died forever. We must inherit the legacy of the first master and eradicate the Han. Thieves, Kuang help the Han family. Han and thieves are not compatible, and Wang Ye is not partial!"
"The Han and thieves are not in harmony, and Wang Ye is not partial."
The soldiers of Jingzhou all yelled after Liu Xun, and they were not demoralized because of Liu Bei's passing. They know that Liu Xun has extraordinary talents and will surely be able to lead them to victory!
With the efforts of Liu Xun, Zhuge Liang and others, the situation in Jingzhou gradually stabilized. The panic of Jingzhou people gradually disappeared. Their doubts and doubts towards Liu Xun at the beginning gradually turned into affirmation and approval. Liu Bei is very good to the people of Jingzhou and has great prestige among the people of Jingzhou. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Xun took over Liu Bei's seat. Although Liu Xun has a reputation, the people of Jingzhou think he is too young and fear that he cannot bear the burden.
However, Liu Xun used his actions to show everyone that he is okay. Jingzhou was also gradually restored to peace under Liu Xun's governance.
However, Liu Xun knew that in order to contend for the world, many things are still waiting for him to do...
