Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 338 Surrender and Go Northward
"Cough cough~"

Seeing that there is no way to continue to remain silent.

The red and black face on the opposite side is changing, and it feels fresh at first, but after watching it for a long time, it feels like that.

"My lord, I don't know, what is the intention of the court? The two generals Guan and Zhang should not be needed to suppress the rebellion in Hanzhong, right?"

Liu Bei didn't speak immediately, and since he entered the lobby, he kept his eyes closed.

Even when he recounted the content of the will just now, he recited with his eyes closed.

Now hearing Ju Shou's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp light swept across everyone present one by one, and finally, his eyes fixed on Guan and Zhang, "Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

Guan and Zhang looked at each other and said in unison: "We will follow the order of the elder brother!"

Liu Bei's bloodshot pupils closed slowly.

What the imperial court meant, he could probably guess something after thinking all night.

At the same time, I also want to understand some things. After ruling out all possibilities, the only remaining possibility, no matter how ridiculous it is, is the only and correct answer.

At this moment, Ju Shou didn't speak anymore.

As Liu Bei closed his eyes again, the hall fell into silence again.

After a long time, Liu Bei's voice sounded slowly, from low to high, shocking the mind.

"I wait for the world to live on Hanlu. At this time of turmoil, it is rare for the court to have a chance to stabilize. If you don't want to serve the country, how is it different from the beasts? A man, you should hold a three-foot sword to calm the thieves in the world and make an inexorable contribution , the virtue of the whole world, do you think... do you think so?"

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, they were obviously overwhelmed by Liu Bei's words.

On the other hand, Guan Yu reacted faster, and his culture was not bad, so he got up suddenly and replied:

"We are willing to follow the envoy, to pacify the thieves of the world, and the virtue of the whole world!"

"We are willing to follow the envoy, to pacify the thieves of the world, and the virtue of the whole world!"

Looking at the crowd who spoke in unison, Liu Bei stroked the hilt of the sword wrapped in burlap at his waist, a gratified smile appeared on his face, but there was a flash of loneliness in his eyes...

……

Xingping two years (No.20 five years), early May.

After sending off the two of Guan and Zhang, more than half a month later.

Liu Bei received a batch of military equipment from Shangdang County, Bingzhou.

At the same time, there was also a secret edict from Chang'an.

There are a lot of armaments, enough to arm 2 people, the fully armed ones, instead of the current ones, take some wooden sticks, and make some simple armor with hemp rope.

It is refined iron armor, and the weapons are also very sophisticated.

It can be seen that these are carefully warmed and raised through the arsenal.

The sergeants can use it directly without worrying about easy damage.

And the secret edict made him even more suspicious, and at the same time solved the confusion in his heart.

He sort of understood why he had to transfer away his second and third younger brothers. It turned out that this was really a test, a test for Chang'an to determine how to get along with him in the future.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Liu Bei directly refused.

Chang'an will directly list it as a target, but they don't trust it that much.

Likewise, and vice versa, agree with yourself.

Chang'an will support him, but he will not fully trust him.

The supplies this time are proof. According to his own understanding, in order to prevent him from failing, and to prevent Jizhou from being occupied by Yuan Shao, Qiu Zhiqing hoarded enough armaments to equip 5 people in Shangdang County in two years.

Now I only sent myself [-] yuan, not even half of it.

It can be seen that Chang'an's trust in himself is also temporary.

In other words, Chang'an has never been at ease with any official general who holds a heavy army.

……

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived in Chang'an, it was almost two months later.

That is, the beginning of June of the second year of Xingping (No. 20).

Coincidentally, at almost the same time as they arrived in Chang'an, there was also Huang Zhong's victory report, the victory in Hanzhong, which lasted for more than two months, the rice thief Zhang Lu surrendered, and Hanzhong was restored...

Guan Zhang took a few entourages and was planning to go to the General's Mansion to report.

In front of them, the messenger shouted the great victory of Hanzhong and headed for the city gate.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, didn't they tell them to lead troops to Hanzhong to help put down the rebellion?
Why did they rush to this side, and the other side of Hanzhong has been pacified?

Isn't this playing with them like monkeys?

The angry Zhang Fei was about to explode on the spot, but luckily Guan Yu stopped him, "Third brother, don't be impulsive, we'd better go to the general's mansion in charge of military affairs to ask about it first."

Tian Feng who came after him also persuaded him: "Yes, General Zhang, this is Chang'an, if General Zhang plays his prestige, he will cause trouble for the envoy..."

Liu Bei was worried that Guan Zhang would suffer a loss.

So he sent Tian Feng, an effective counselor under his command, to serve as a staff officer for the two of them.

It is also to prevent the two from being calculated by others, and it can be regarded as an extra layer of insurance.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei heard Tian Feng say that if he lost his temper here, he would cause trouble for his elder brother.

Immediately, he also restrained a lot, and followed Guan Yu honestly, and went to the General's Mansion together...

In the political affairs hall, Liu Yu, who is currently the head of the political affairs hall, after reading the battle report in his hand, naturally handed it to Xu Rong, thinking that he was the one who knew the most about military affairs among them.

Xu Rong frowned slightly after reading it, and handed it to Huangfusong.

Then came Huang Wan, and finally handed it to Qiu Zhiqing.

The content of the battle report is also very simple. It is nothing more than that among the Hanzhong rice thief rebels, there are people in Yizhou.

Still working in Yizhou.

This is a bit tricky, but in this situation, Zhang Lu said that he had received a revelation from the heavens, and he could voluntarily surrender for the sake of the people in Hanzhong. This is also the reason for him to move to the north to live in peace.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help curling his lips. To put it bluntly, he didn't want to preach.

In the past, there were people from the Confucian sect, but now, most of the Confucian sect's aristocratic families have either been broken up.

Either they hid in a low-key manner, which is a good time for them to preach.

Now it would be great if he could get the support of Chang'an.

Qiu Zhiqing has nothing to do with this, as long as they keep themselves safe.

Anyway, without the suppression of "Heaven", there will only be more and more demons and ghosts in the world. The so-called "Anmin Bureau" established by Qiu Zhiqing is indeed a bit weak.

It would be a good thing if Tianshidao was there to help.

But come to think of it, not only the Heavenly Master Dao, but also other Dao veins may also enter the arena.

He guessed right, after all, this is the Earth Immortal Realm, not the world he knows.

Therefore, those Dao veins are all real.

According to Yang Chan, Dongsheng Shenzhou has many Dao veins, many of which are decided by the sect.

However, she has never been there, so she can't tell what the specific Dao veins are, but it is said that the more famous ones include Guangcheng Immortal Sect, Shangqing Immortal Sect, etc...

This is all she has heard, and there are many Taoist schools that she can't name.

But according to her, they used to call themselves Taoism.

This reminded Qiu Zhiqing that when "Qing Yuan" met him, he called him a "Xuanmen Taoist friend".

Instead of "friends of Taoism", does this mean that Taoism was not called Taoism before?
Of course, these are all things to say later. After reading the battle report, Qiu Zhiqing handed it back to Liu Yu, expressing his rich experience and asking him to preside over the political affairs hall meeting.

Political affairs hall meetings are on rotation, and Qiu Zhiqing is sometimes required to preside over them.

It is very fair for one person to have a permanent court, after presiding over a permanent court.

In the days that followed, everyone knew who would say the next one with more weight.

Until the next Chang Dynasty begins...

Liu Yu coughed lightly, "I don't know about this, colleagues, what do you think?"

"In my opinion, it's better to declare Liu Yan to enter the court."

"Second, but Hanzhong should be stabilized first."

"Let Huang Zhong come back, reorganize Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops, and go to Hanzhong to change defenses with Huang Zhong."

"I agree with what you said. In addition, I agree with Zhang Lu's preaching."

As soon as Qiu Zhiqing said this, everyone looked at him in puzzlement.

Especially Liu Yu, he learned from Liu Hong that the relationship between Shi Changshi and Taiping Dao may be just a belief, but this one is real, and he has a close relationship with Zhang Jiao.

Even the embroidered clothes envoy found out that Qiu Zhiqing contributed a lot to the establishment of Taiping Dao.

Moreover, he was called "the real person who teaches" by the early disciples of Taipingdao.

Just by hearing this name, one can tell that he has an extraordinary status in the Taiping Dao.

It's just that at that time, he was already the governor of Yanmen. Even if it was the emperor, in that special period, it was not so easy to take down a border governor with a heavy army in his hands.

Until the Yellow Turban Bandit was put down, Qiu Zhiqing didn't know what method he used.

Let Liu Hong no longer pursue his affairs with Taipingdao.

Now he promised Tianshidao to go to the north to preach, what is his intention?

In fact, Qiu Zhiqing really wanted to tell him, he just wanted to see if the northward movement of the Heavenly Master Dao would lead to other Taoist sects, that's all, it was not as complicated as he imagined.

In fact, Qiu Zhiqing still had a little hope in his heart.

After all, Guanzhong is also the origin of Quanzhen Taoism.

I don't know if there is any big boss coming over to preach.

In this way, he has found an organization.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qiu Zhiqing did not dodge anything, but said generously: "Everyone, you must know about Zhang Jiao. He broke the 'heaven' arranged by Emperor Shi Huang,
Without the protection of the heavens, relying solely on the awe-inspiring aura of those scholars and the bloody aura of the army is not enough to resist demons. At this time, the northward direction of the Heavenly Master will undoubtedly help us solve this problem..."

For this, Huang Wan was the first to be unconvinced, and his family was not a family that ruled the "Book of Filial Piety".

The ancestor is one of the "24 filial piety", known as "Unparalleled in the world, Jiangxia Huangxiang".

In the later "San Zi Jing", the description is: Fragrant Jiuling, able to warm the seats; filial piety to relatives, what should be held.

Although it is not as famous as Zhi "Spring and Autumn" or other versions of Confucian classics, it is still of the same line of Confucianism, so how could it be possible for those Huang-Lao school's salty fish to spread the word.

"I don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods. As long as everyone upholds an upright heart, cultivates etiquette and morality internally, and righteousness is self-generated, no matter whether it is internal evil or external evil, there is nothing to be afraid of. Why do you need the protection of rice thieves?"

How should I put it, what Huang Wan said may have some truth.

But the problem is that most people are illiterate nowadays, this is the national conditions of the Han Dynasty.

And when it comes to the phrase "the son does not talk, the power is chaotic".

Qiu Zhiqing thought of a cult explanation in later generations: Confucius stopped talking and beat him unconscious with strange force.

So the so-called: strange power and chaotic gods!
Of course, in Qiu Zhiqing's own words, he believed more in an explanation of approaching the mind: Confucius didn't talk about it, thinking that these strange forces would disturb his mind.

But on the other hand, if you don't talk about it, don't believe it, and have a firm mind, you can't be confused by strange power!

Moreover, the interpretations of the four words "weird power and chaotic spirit" are not the same, some say four things, some say two things, but this is not important.

Because naturally someone will refute it for him.

The Mohists are annoyed by Confucianism.

Sure enough, Xu Rong immediately retorted: "Huang Xiang, you don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods. If you don't believe it, respect ghosts and gods and stay away! You Confucian saints don't deny the existence of these things, so what's the point of letting Tianshi Taoism go north? Can't?"

Seeing that Huang Wan was still arguing, Liu Yu didn't want to upset the originally harmonious Zhengshitang because of this trivial matter.

"Okay, what if I vote on this matter with a show of hands?"

In the end, three against two, passed the matter of Zhang Lu's preaching in the north.

But the content has to be reviewed by them, and some of their specific content needs to be added.

After all, preaching in the north will naturally not be in Guanzhong. The main preaching areas are in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places. Naturally, some private goods of the imperial court must be fortified.

Huang Wan was a little unhappy, he could tell.

Liu Yu voted against in the end, at best to save himself some face.

After all, four-on-one is too ugly, he just instinctively doesn't want Zhang Lu to preach.

Here, here we come to the General's Mansion, which is said to be the General's Mansion, but in fact, most of them are General Wei, and they don't need to participate in the training of the troops, they only need to make a training plan.

Now, those who are above General Wei can command multiple guards at the same time.

Duan Yan was the only one who organized the army to fight, and Zhu Jun, who had been recovering from illness before, was pulled back by Qiu Zhiqing.

Or just a few people in the political affairs hall can organize multiple guards to fight.

Under normal circumstances, there are more than 1000 people in a guard, and the expansion can reach more than 5 people.

A general guard can basically meet the combat needs.

General Wei, who is not at war nowadays, generally needs to sit in the general's mansion, in addition to formulating training plans, reorganizing formations, and researching new weapon requirements.

It is to prevent accidents from happening.

So Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the lobby of the General's Mansion.

Then I saw several General Wei, discussing something enthusiastically around a huge sand table.

At this moment, Guan Yu was a little distracted. He was once one of them in this familiar scene.

"Second brother?"

Seeing Guan Yu stop, Zhang Fei couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

Of course, the whisper was just what he thought. In fact, his voice interrupted the discussion of the crowd in the lobby on the spot.

"Brother Yun, long time no see!"

The one who took the initiative to greet him was naturally Zhao Yun, the vanguard of Longxiang. Among the four guards of Longxiang, the left and right guards of Longxiang were in Luoyang, and the guard went to Nanyang to assist Zhang Ji in reorganizing his troops.

The situation of Tengxiang's four guards is similar, only Tengxiang avant-garde Zhang Xiu is there, left guard Huang Zhong went to Hanzhong to suppress the rebellion, and the other two went north with Duan Yan.

But the four guards of Huben, all four generals are there.

Except for Huangfu Jianshou, Zhang Xiu and Zhu Jun didn't know Guan Yu, everyone else was old acquaintances...
