Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 63 Liu Bei is seriously ill
Liu Chan has read this battle report from Linqiong more than ten times on this day.This was the first battle under the leadership of Liu Chan. Although the scale was small, only more than ten people were lost in the battle. Huang Yuan was beheaded and nearly five thousand people were captured. I was really happy.

And when Liu Chan checked the battle report in detail, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.Although Wang Ping did not elaborate on Wang Ping's strategies, calculations, and battlefield forms, he could also perceive the risks involved with Liu Chan's military vision.

Surrendering Yang Jia and going to the banquet at the Hongmen, how courageous it is!
Wang Ping's boldness surprised Liu Chan for the first time. He used to think that Wang Ping had a stable personality, but this battle changed Wang Ping's view a lot. Liu Chan thought of Wang Ping's battle of prosperity in his previous life, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

With less than [-] soldiers against [-] Cao's army, under the prudent strategy proposed by his subordinates, he instead adopted a radical strategy: take the initiative to attack and defend. How can such an excellent general be a general who fights idle? Forget it, later generations only see the success of things, and only belatedly think that the risk is not big, but they don't know the risk.

If he led the army himself, he would probably adopt Yang Hong's strategy to consume the morale of Huang Yuan's rebel army with Linqiong, and then wait at the mouth of Nan'an Gorge.Although he can win, I am afraid that Linqiong will be devastated, and the big man will spend money and manpower to restore it in the future.

certainly.The risk is always directly proportional to the benefit. The suppression of the Hanjia rebellion will definitely deter people with bad intentions. At the same time, it will also deter Gao Ding, the restless leader of the Yi people in Yuexi County, and the restless Qiang people in the west of Hanjia County.

"Your Highness, all of you have arrived." The servant's announcement slightly interrupted Liu Chan's thoughts.

Hearing this, Liu Chan did not blame him for it, but restrained his excitement and joy.

Soon, Liu Chan saw Dong Yun, Fei Yi, and Huo Yi walking into the hall.

Liu Chan got up and handed the battle report to the three, and said gently: "Zijun, what a skill! In less than ten days, more than ten people were lost, and nearly 5000 people surrendered. Huang Yuan gave the leader and Yangjia surrendered. That's it for peace!"

Dong Yun heard the words, spread out the battle report and looked at it, took a breath, and said with a happy face: "You all have the style of a general, I congratulate Your Highness!"

After reading the battle report, Fei Yi couldn't help but praise him again and again: "Congratulations, Your Highness, happy to be a good general."

Huo Yi knew the military strategy, and he was shocked after watching it. He also deduced the situation of the confrontation with Huang Yuan many times. It was difficult to achieve such a victory.

Huo Yi calmed down, bowed his hands to Liu Chan and said, "Your Highness, the key to Zijun's quelling of the Huang Yuan Rebellion this time is to subdue Yang Jia, and the key to subduing Yang Jia is to borrow troops from Tsing Yi. The military spirit, I admire you."

When Liu Chan heard Huo Yi's words, he couldn't help laughing, "It's not easy to make Shao Xian admire him so much!"

When everyone heard this, they laughed and chatted.

"Your Highness, please see me in the horse servant." The servant's notification sounded, and Liu Chan hurriedly announced Ma Liang into the hall.

Huo Yi asked suspiciously: "Ma Shizhong, isn't he in Yong'an? Why did you return to Chengdu?"

Everyone heard this and did not answer, Liu Chan was a little prepared, and Ma Liang stepped into the hall at this time.

Seeing Ma Liang's anxious face, Liu Chan asked in a gentle voice, "Master, but something happened in Yong'an."

"Your Highness, His Majesty is seriously ill, and I urgently order His Highness, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince to go to Yong'an." Ma Liang calmed down and cupped his hands sadly.

Liu Chan secretly sighed that it was so, but there was still a look of surprise on his face.

Fei Yi heard the words and immediately came out and said: "Your Highness is the crown prince. Now His Majesty is seriously ill. Your Highness is the hope of the world. Your Highness needs to go to Yong'an immediately to serve the decoction. The second and third princes will follow after they are young. Han Jia Later, it can be handed over to Yang Zhizhong and others."

Listening to his words, Liu Chan was stupefied at first, and then returned to his senses.Anything else is not the point, the personal attendant Tangyao said superficially in front of Liu Bei, the point is that Liu Chan, as the prince, stays by Liu Bei's side at this moment, this is Fei Yi reminding himself, and emphasized that the second and third younger brothers will go later.

"Okay, I'm going to Yong'an immediately."

Soon, Liu Chan left all the affairs in the palace to Fei and Dong to take care of, and explained the details to Mrs. Zhang.

Liu Chan, Ma Liang, and Huo Yi hurried to Yong'an.
-
The spring breeze blew through Yong'an City, the weather was warm and cold, but the atmosphere in Yong'an Palace became more and more heavy.

Liu Bei was lying on the couch, his complexion was withered and yellow, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with dim eyes, as if he was dying of illness.Zhuge Liang was sitting on the side of the couch, his eyes were red, and he was holding Liu Bei's left hand tightly.

Liu Bei forced a smile and said, "Kong Ming, has the heir arrived?"

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips, and said slowly: "I have sent Ji Chang (Ma Liang's word) to Chengdu to inform the prince. I think the prince will arrive in Yong'an in these days."

Liu Bei patted the back of Zhuge Liang's hand with his right hand to comfort him and said, "Kong Ming, don't want to do this. I, Liu Bei, was a soldier all my life. Thanks to Kong Ming's assistance, I can achieve what I am today. In this life, I have three brothers, Yun Chang, Yi De, and Zi Long, and I have Kong Ming and Xiao Zhi." Two confidants, I have no regrets in this life."

Finally, Zhuge Liang couldn't hold back his tear glands, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down. Liu Bei tremblingly raised his right hand to wipe Zhuge Liang's tears and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, I'm just going to meet Yun Chang and Yi De."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't control his sadness, and turned his head away from the couch, his eyes were soaked.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun outside the couch and waved in a low voice, "Zilong speak further."

Zhuge Liang gave way to stand up and wiped away his tears. Zhao Yun held Liu Bei's left hand with both hands and said in a sobbing voice, "Master, Zilong is here."

"I'm still used to you calling me envoy, not Your Majesty." Liu Bei smiled when he heard that Zhao Yun called himself envoy.

"Your Majesty will be fine, please cultivate your body." Zhao Yun comforted Liu Bei with red eyes.
"Zilong, I miss the days when I was in Yuanshao, Hebei. It was just you and me. At that time, Yunchang was still with Cao Cao. Back then, Zilong left me to keep his brother's filial piety. Everyone said that Zilong would never be there again. Return. I don’t believe it, I know that I will not abandon Zilong, and Zilong will not abandon me. Sure enough, Zilong returned at that time and recruited hundreds of soldiers for me.” Liu Bei said hoarsely.

Zhao Yun saw that Liu Bei began to recall the past, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Your memory is really good, I remember everything!"

Liu Bei said in a low voice, "Zilong's heart, how can I, Liu Bei, not know that you and I are called monarchs and ministers, but we are brothers. Zilong's heart has never changed, but it's a pity that I can't continue to be with Zilong to help the Han Dynasty. Calm the world."

Zhao Yun didn't speak anymore, just bowed his head and sobbed.

Liu Bei caressed Zhao Yun's silver hair and said with a smile: "The old White Horse General is also old." Zhao Yun wept bitterly.

After Liu Bei said a few more gossips, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was exhausted and resigned, allowing Liu Bei to recuperate.

After everyone left, Liu Bei's eyes slowly shed tears in his sleep, and he dreamed, "Yun Chang, Yi De, are you here?"
