Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 147 Zhuge Qiao’s wedding, Fazheng enters Nanzhong (seeking pursuit)

Seeing Liu Bei's sadness, Huang Quan approached and advised, "My lord, if you stay in Baidi City, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for Xiaozhi to recover from his illness."

"This is a letter from the military advisor. The king and Fu of Hanzhong and others are currently at home due to illness, and they still need the king to return to Chengdu for comfort."

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately became angry: "Xu Wenxiu is relying on his old age to show off his old age! Could it be that when I go to Jingzhou, I am not doing my job properly?"

"Now that Sun Quan is retreating to the east and blocking Cao Cao from the north, he will win great victories in both places. What else do they want?"

Huang Quan was about to speak but stopped.

Xu Jing and others initially stayed home because they were sick, because they felt that Liu Bei regarded Wang Ye as a child's play and took 5,000 soldiers to Jingzhou without discussing with everyone.

Therefore, Xu Jing and others felt angry and did not want to take charge of the affairs because they were sick at home.

Privately, statements such as "The King of Hanzhong does not listen to what others say", "The King of Hanzhong will be defeated when he goes there", "The King of Hanzhong does not care about the overall situation", etc. were spread among Xu Jing and others.

As everyone knows, Liu Bei won!

Also won ten points of beauty!

This is awkward!
  At first, he was angry and pretending to be sick, but now he is too embarrassed to see others and has to continue to pretend to be sick.

If Liu Bei didn't return to Chengdu to give Xu Jing and others a chance, Xu Jing and others would have no shame in going out!

Seeing Huang Quan hesitate to speak, Liu Bei also understood that what he just said was a bit rude, so he waved his hand a little irritably: "Go and prepare, tomorrow, I will return to Chengdu tomorrow."

Huang Quan said no more and went to prepare for his return.

"It's a pity that Aqiao is not here. Otherwise, with Aqiao's intelligence, he would have been able to persuade him to be filial and upright." Liu Bei sat alone on the stone steps and sighed.

The next day.

Liu Bei knocked on Fazheng's door, but still got no response from Fazheng.

"Xiaozhi, I'm going back to Chengdu first."

"Mengda is Mengda, and you are Yin. Mengda's fault should not be borne by you."

"You recover in Baidi City, and I'll wait for you in Chengdu!"

"Remember! This is an order! Don't refuse!"

Seeing that there was still no response from the door, Liu Bei sighed again, turned and left.

And inside the house.

Fazheng is described as haggard, sitting leaning against the door with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

"It's filial piety and incompetence!"

At the beginning of the first year.

Liu Bei arrived in Chengdu.

However, the first thing Liu Bei did when he arrived in Chengdu was not to appease Xu Jing and others. Instead, he found Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Qiao and told them that they were refusing to meet in Baidi City.

Zhuge Liang had an insight into people's hearts: "The king is benevolent, so he refuses to punish the king and is filial and upright."

"However, Xiaozhi is strong and has clear grudges. The more the king comforts him, the more guilty Xiaozhi feels."

"The laws in Shu are strict and cannot be relaxed just because of the king's preference."

"According to the laws of Shu, we can accuse Xiaozhi of improper inspection and promotion, remove Xiaozhi from the post of Shangshuling, and demote him to the position of prefect of Yuexi."

"If he can be filial and upright and can make meritorious service, he will be transferred back to Chengdu to serve."

"I'll write another letter and ask Qiaoer to take it to Baidi City, which will definitely get rid of Xiaozhi's heartache."

If Liu Bei hadn't been present, Zhuge Qiao would have shouted "fuck".

Father, you are killing three birds with one stone!

It can not only transfer Ma Di away from Yue Xi, but also get rid of Fa Zheng's heartache, and also give Nan Fu Yi Yue a suitable person to carry out the task.

Although Zhuge Qiao originally wanted Zhuge Liang to implement the strategy of pacifying the Yi and Yue in the south, Zhuge Qiao only realized how busy Zhuge Liang was after assisting Zhuge Liang in handling the military and political affairs of the General's Office!

If Zhuge Liang is really distracted from implementing the strategy of pacifying the Yi and Yue in the south, there will be a sentence in the history books from now on: "The traitor Zhuge Qiao cheated his father and exhausted Zhuge Liang to death."

Liu Bei hesitated: "Military advisor, Xiaozhi is ill now. If he becomes the prefect of Yuexi, wouldn't it make it more difficult for Xiaozhi to recover?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "For the sake of the king's royal estate, Xiaozhi will solve the hidden dangers in Nanzhong for the king even if he is sick."

"Is such an act of loyalty inferior to the crime of improper conduct?"

"My lord, if you care, you will cause chaos."

"What Xiaozhi needs now is not the king's protection, but an opportunity to prove himself to everyone in Yizhou!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "That's it. No wonder Xiaozhi refuses to see me."

"The military advisor just said that Xiaozhi should be asked to solve the hidden dangers in Nanzhong. I wonder what hidden dangers there are in Nanzhong?"

Zhuge Liang briefly stated to Liu Bei that the wealthy people with the surname Nanzhong disobeyed Liu Bei's orders and often had conflicts with the barbarians.

He also informed Liu Bei of Zhuge Qiao's specific strategies to conquer the Yi and Yue in the south.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's statement, Liu Bei couldn't help clasping his hands and laughing: "If this plan succeeds, Nanzhong will be worry-free for a hundred years."

"Ah Qiao, I have entrusted you with all the matters of filial piety and uprightness. If the knot in my heart about filial piety and uprightness cannot be resolved, I will ask only you."

Zhuge Qiao responded and said: "Don't worry, my king. The general protecting the army is an outstanding person. Now I am only so confused because I am in the middle of the game."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and smiled: "With Aqiao's words, I have nothing to worry about."

The worries in his heart disappeared, and Liu Bei's mood became cheerful. He stood up and said, "Commander, Aqiao, I will go to pay homage to Xu Wangfu and others first, so I won't delay here."

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang's expression became more serious: "Qiao'er, filial piety and uprightness are the bones of your Majesty's humerus. You must not lose anything."

"When you go to Baidi City, in addition to persuading Xiaozhi, you should also pay attention to Xiaozhi's condition."

"Your Majesty is a man of many spirited actions. The only people who can persuade Your Majesty are scholars, filial piety and uprightness."

"Now that Shi Yuan has passed away early, I am not good at this. If there are any mistakes in my filial piety, no one will be able to persuade the king in the future."

Zhuge Qiao nodded: "Father, don't worry, I also know that the general guarding the army is the king's favorite person."

The next day.

Zhuge Qiao summoned Liu Chan and Huo Yi, prepared generous gifts, and took a boat to Jiangling.

Going to Baidi City was just a way, Zhuge Qiao was also going to Jiangling City to welcome his bride.

Liu Chan originally wanted to stay in Shizi's Mansion to review his studies, but Liu Chan wanted to follow Zhuge Qiao to Jingjiang Lingcheng and seek Zhuge Qiao's advice privately.

After learning that Liu Feng had given Liu Chan a sword, Zhuge Qiao asked Liu Chan to go find Liu Bei, saying that he was going to Jiangling City to visit Liu Feng.

Liu Bei only hesitated for a moment before agreeing with Liu Chan to go to Jiangling City.

Liu Feng was recuperating in Jiangling City, and it was reasonable for Liu Chan, as the crown prince, to visit him.

Even Fu Xujing, the king of Hanzhong, could not object to this matter.

But for Liu Chan's safety, Liu Bei still asked General Zhao Yun of the Ling Army to accompany him.

This also made Zhuge Qiao's wedding team extremely large.

a few days later.

Zhuge Qiao arrived at Baidi City.

When he learned that Zhuge Qiao was passing by here to welcome his bride, Fazheng did not avoid it.

If Zhang Zhongjing's disciples can come to Baidi City, they are all invited by Zhuge Qiao.

Fa Zheng is a person who has very clear grievances. If he doesn't come to see Zhuge Qiao, it would be ungrateful to Fa Zheng.

"Being able to marry a king and a tiger girl, Ah Qiao is the envy of all generations." Although Fa Zheng's complexion was still poor, it was much better than when Liu Bei was in Baidi City.

Obviously.

Liu Bei's words before leaving, "This is an order! Don't refuse!" were more or less effective.

Zhuge Qiao smiled in return: "It would be even better if Prefect Fa could attend my wedding."

Fazheng was slightly startled, and he keenly heard the change of Zhuge Qiao's title: "Why did Aqiao call me the prefect?"

Zhuge Qiao took out Liu Bei's letter of dismissal and appointment and handed it to Fa Zheng: "When the king returns to Chengdu, I will publicly accuse you of improper investigation and prosecution."

"Your Majesty would like to thank you again for your old merits and for sending a letter to the right general to take charge of Shangyong."

"You will be dismissed from the post of Shangshu Ling and demoted to be the governor of Yuexi, but you will be retained as the general of the army guard."

Fazheng's tone tightened: "Who persuaded the king?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled calmly: "Of course it's my father!"

Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The military advisor knows my heart! Your Majesty is kind-hearted and cannot bear to blame me. But if Your Majesty doesn't blame me, how can I have the dignity to go to see Your Majesty?"

After saying that, Fazheng bowed solemnly to Zhuge Qiao: "Ah Qiao, thank the military advisor for me."

Zhuge Qiao took out another letter and chuckled: "Prefect Fa, don't thank me in a hurry. You have a heavy responsibility to go to Yuexi."

"You and my father are both the great king's ministers. Now you are free in Baidi City, but my father is so busy in Chengdu that he sleeps and eats at the office."

"If you can't handle this, don't blame me for disrespecting your elders."

Fazheng unfolded the letter, glanced at it quickly, and felt convinced, and his tone was even more respectful: "I already know the military advisor's deep meaning."

"If this matter cannot be handled well, how can I, Fa Xiaozhi, have the dignity to advise the king again?"

After a pause, Fazheng continued: "Aqiao went to Jiangling City to welcome his bride. When he returns, he can come to Baidi City and give me a ride."

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "This is not possible. Prefect Fa must follow me to Jiangling City and let Mr. Zhongjing diagnose your illness."

"Prefect Fa doesn't want him to die in Yueqi because he is not acclimated to his old ailments after going to Yueqi, right?"

Fa Zheng's face darkened: "Ah Qiao, I just have a heartache and feel ashamed to see the king. It's not that I want to die. How can you curse me like this? I'm a very narrow-minded person."

Zhuge Qiao laughed and said, "Prefect Fa is able to joke in front of the boy. It seems that his worries have almost disappeared."

"The Crown Prince is also on the boat. If Governor Fa doesn't want to go to Jiangling, then I will ask the Crown Prince to invite you."

Fa Zheng suddenly felt helpless: "The military advisor is a rigorous man and would not be as cunning as you."

Zhuge Qiao turned and walked away: "The king calls me Xiaolong because he thinks that I have the rigor of my father and the cunning of Mr. Fengchu."

"Prefect Fa, the carriage is right outside the door. You pack some necessary utensils and I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Fazheng looked up at the sky and saw bright sunshine shining under the winter clouds and mists.

"Young dragon Zhuge Qiao, how lucky we are to have you as our heir! If Miao'er can have Ah Qiao's three-point strategy, I don't have to envy him." Fazheng looked up to the sky and laughed three times. The gloom in his heart was gone, and he was full of energy. also become vigorous.

Once the heart disease is eliminated, the disease will be mostly cured by Fa Zheng.

Several disciples of Zhang Zhongjing followed him along the way. After arriving at Jiangling City, Fazheng's complexion became noticeably mellower.

But Zhuge Qiao was still worried and asked Wang Ping to take Fazheng to Zhang Zhongjing for diagnosis.

Zhuge Qiao even told Wang Ping in front of Fazheng that if Fazheng wanted to conceal his illness and avoid medical treatment, he would knock him unconscious and let Zhang Zhongjing take a closer look.

This arrogant method made Fazheng feel moved and helpless at the same time, and he did not dare to hide anything when he got to Zhang Zhongjing.

Fazheng knew very well that if he concealed his illness and refused to seek medical treatment, Wang Ping would really knock him out.

Guan Yu, who was originally in Xiangyang City, now returned to Jiangling City. Guan Feng is Guan Yu's only daughter, and Zhuge Qiao is Guan Yu's approved son-in-law. This wedding is naturally as lucky as running water, and there will be no twists and turns.

Guan Yu, who usually doesn't like to drink, drank a few bottles at the banquet today, and his tanned face became more rosy.

The red-faced Guan Gong will blush whenever he touches wine.

period.

Liu Chan went to see Liu Feng who was recovering from illness.

Liu Feng was surprised and happy to see Liu Chan coming to Jiangling City to visit him.

This is the first real talk between Liu Chan and Liu Feng after being brothers for so many years.

Liu Chan was simple and unscheming, and would say whatever he had to say; Liu Feng was equally unscheming, and through this conversation, Liu Feng truly understood Zhuge Qiao's previous advice.

"My father is not Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Adou and I are not Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Liu Qi, and Liu Cong."

"Adou respects my brother so much, how can I not protect Adou!"

"Brothers working together can cut through metal. As an elder brother, you should protect your younger brother."

Looking at the sincere smile on Liu Chan's chubby little face, Liu Feng secretly made a decision.

Zhuge Qiao stayed in Jiangling City for a day.

The next day, Guan Feng was welcomed onto the wedding boat and prepared to return to Chengdu.

Guan Yu personally rode his horse to the river to see him off.

"Ah Qiao, I originally wanted to keep you in Jingzhou, and I can hand over Jingzhou's military affairs to you in the future."

"It's just that your heart is not here, and I can't force you to stay. If we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see you again."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Guan Yu looked at the roaring river and asked in a condensed voice.

Zhuge Qiao Surong pointed in the direction of Guanlong: "Although Sun Quan from Jiangdong failed to seize Jingzhou, I predict that his thief will not die and will definitely try to seize Jingzhou again."

"It's easy to hide from open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. If I stay in Jingzhou, just guarding against Sun Quan will consume most of my energy, let alone the Northern Expedition to Cao Cao and helping the king achieve his royal career."

Guan Yu couldn't help but snorted: "In the past, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, defeated Dong Zhuo alone. What a hero. Sun Ce, the little overlord, also defeated the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River with thousands of new soldiers. He can also be called a hero."

"Only Sun Quan, the little boy, knows how to act like a rat. I just wish I could kill him with my own hands!"

Zhuge Qiao also snorted: "A mouse's eyes are short-sighted, and Sun Quan only has this ability."

"My father's Longzhong strategy, one way is to use the troops from Jingzhou to Wanluo, and the other is to use the troops from Yizhou to leave Qinchuan."

"There is Sun Quan in the east of Jingzhou and Cao Cao in the north. The northern expedition will be harassed by Sun Quan, and the eastward march will be harassed by Cao Cao. It is already difficult to advance troops on this road."

"With the current situation, we can only have a chance to achieve success if we gather the troops from Yizhou and leave Qinchuan, seize the land in Guanzhong, appease the surnames in Liangzhou, and then lead the troops east to Luoyang."

"It's just that once Yizhou's soldiers leave Qinchuan, there will be no way out; if Jingzhou encounters a crisis, it will be difficult for Yizhou to send reinforcements."

Guan Yu said solemnly: "I was attacked twice by Sun Quan. If I don't take precautions, won't I let my brother down?"

"Don't worry, Aqiao. As long as I don't take the initiative, there will be no mistakes in Jingzhou."

"It's just that the road to Qinchuan is extremely difficult and dangerous, and it's also difficult to use troops. Ah Qiao must be careful."

The number of good generals stationed in Jingzhou now is far better than before.

Wuling has Fan Min and Shamoke, Lingling has Xizhen and Du Lu, Guiyang has Fu Kuang and Liu Ning, Yidu has Deng Zhi and Zhan Yan, Nanjun has Fu Xu and Zong Yu, Mi Fang guards Jiangling, and Guan Yu controls Xiangyang. , Ma Liang governed Jingzhou.

With the addition of Shangyong's Guan Ping and Deng Fu, as well as Guan Yu's generals such as Liao Hua, Su Fei, and Fan You, Jingzhou's comprehensive military strength has risen by several levels.

With Jingzhou's external strategy switching from offense to defense, if Jingzhou can still be captured, then it will really be God's help!
  Zhuge Qiao was also deeply moved by Guan Yu's concern: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I also know that the road to Qinchuan is difficult and dangerous."

"What's more, even if we have to take the Qinchuan Road, I won't be the one to lead the troops. The king will choose another general to lead the troops, and I will just accompany him at most."

Guan Yu took a long breath and said: "A good man has ambitions in the world. Since Aqiao has great ambitions, as an elder, I should also fully support him."

"It's getting late, so I won't delay any more! Have a nice trip, Aqiao!"

Zhuge Qiao solemnly saluted Guan Yu and then boarded the wedding boat.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and watched the wedding boat leave until the wedding boat became a little bit above the river.

"The future of the big man is up to you."

Guan Yu turned around and rode away. Although Jingzhou was full of favor and trust, there were still many internal conflicts that needed to be resolved.

In the past, Guan Yu was committed to seizing Xiangfan and had no time to deal with it. Now he has to defend Jingzhou's foundation, and Guan Yu has to resolve these hidden dangers and contradictions one by one.

Defending Jingzhou is the most important thing for Guan Yu in his remaining years!

The boat travels thousands of miles, and the flowing water is surging.

Looking at the rolling river, Zhuge Qiao on the wedding boat was also full of pride.

The end of the first year.

Zhuge Qiao and Guan Feng got married in Chengdu.

Since Zhuge Qiao had already married Guan Feng and officially assisted Zhuge Liang in handling military and political affairs at the residence of the military advisor general, it was the third day after Zhuge Qiao's wedding.

Zhuge Liang held a crowning ceremony for Zhuge Qiao in advance, and gave Zhuge Qiao the nickname "Bosong", which means "pines and cypresses are evergreen".

It not only implies loyalty to Kuangfu Han Dynasty, but also hopes that Zhuge Qiao can live a long life.

At the end of the same month.

Fazheng also received the documents and went to Yuexi to take up his post.

Liu Bei personally escorted Fazheng to the river, held Fazheng's hand and said, "Xiao Zhi, the people of Yue are fierce, and the barbarians are not accustomed to kingship. You must be careful."

"After you have settled all matters in Nanzhong, I will transfer you back to Chengdu. Until then, you will still be my minister!"

"I will assign you a good doctor to accompany you. When you arrive in Yuexi, you will have to listen to the good doctor's diagnosis every day."

"There are also some clothes to keep out the cold. I also ordered people to put them in the cabin."

"."

Liu Bei was very happy that Fa Zheng could untie his heart knot.

Like a nephew giving instructions for a long journey, he seems verbose, but is full of care and worry.

Fazheng was deeply moved and solemnly saluted Liu Bei: "If I can meet your Majesty, I will never die to repay your kindness!"

Liu Bei stopped him and said: "Xiao Zhi, please don't say such unlucky words. Adou is young and I will have to rely on you from now on."

Fazheng held back his tears, cupped his fists and said, "I will obey the king's order!"

Watching Fazheng leave by boat, Liu Bei couldn't help himself, so he spurred his horse to run along the river until the boat turned around, then he stopped unwillingly.

"I wish I could dig this water channel, how dare you block my eyes from seeing the Dharma and being filial and upright!"

Fazheng on the ship also saw Liu Bei riding his horse along the river to see him off, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Your Majesty has treated me with such kindness. If I can't pacify Yiyue from the south and complete the military advisor's Longzhong strategy, how can I have the face to see you again!"

I swear to the heaven that the Dharma is upright!

Looking in the direction of Xu Du, Fazheng's eyes gradually became hard: "Zijing, I have known you since childhood, and I am willing to be rich and powerful with you without forgetting each other. How can you treat me like this!"

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"I will definitely come to Xudu in person one day, capture you alive, and plead guilty to your Majesty!"

Ruxukou.

Sun Quan threw his helmet to the ground angrily: "Old thief Zhang Liao, why don't you die of old age!"

He enthusiastically wanted to attack Hefei, but was ambushed by Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun's troops. If Jiang Qin hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, Sun Quan would have asked Zhang Liao to "capture the thief and capture the king".

however.

Although Sun Quan ran away, Jiang Qin was hit by a stray arrow and died.

The veteran who followed Sun Ce in the Jiangdong campaign was missing again.

A sneak attack on Jiangling will result in the loss of troops and generals; a sneak attack on Hefei will result in loss of troops and generals.

Sun Quan felt that there were only a few highlights in his life.

Either they are defeated, or they are on the way to defeat. There are rarely big victories.

If Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew that Sun Quan had this idea, they would laugh at Sun Quan's mentality.

Who didn’t rise after losing a lot of battles?

Sun Quan, who started from a too high starting point and did not start his own business independently, had a much worse mentality for enduring setbacks than Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

"Marquis Wu, now that the army has no fighting spirit and Gong Yi is dead, it is better to return to Jianye temporarily and look for opportunities to fight again." Han Dang approached and advised.

As the only veteran among Sun Jian's four generals who was still alive, Han Dang felt uncomfortable looking at Sun Quan who had suffered repeated defeats.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and straightened his appearance, not wanting to be too embarrassed in front of Han Dang, a veteran.

"Old general, could you please take Gong Yi's coffin back to Jianye." Sun Quan said calmly.

Han Dang stopped talking, sighed secretly, and left.

After a while, Sun Quan called Lu Xun closer and said, "Bo Yan, is there any news from Dahu?"

Lu Xun nodded: "I was about to talk to Wu Hou about this. Mrs. Zhou wrote back that Zhuge Qiao and Guan Yu's daughter had been married at the end of the first year. They are now based in Chengdu and will not return to Jingzhou in a short time."

"Mrs. Zhou has decided to go to Chengdu with Mrs. Sun, and then look for an opportunity to sneak into Zhuge Qiao's side."

"It's just that Liu Bei treated Mrs. Sun rather coldly. He didn't take Mrs. Sun with him when he returned to Chengdu. He just asked Mi Fang to take care of her."

Sun Quan said with hatred: "Liu Bei, the old thief, dares to neglect my little sister like this. He sounds nice, but in fact he has no idea of ​​getting back on good terms with me."

Lu Xun did not agree.

He had already attacked Jingzhou twice, and asked Madam Sun to abduct Liu Chan once. Coupled with Madam Sun's strong character, it's strange that Liu Bei didn't ignore Madam Sun!
  Sun Quan cursed a few times and ordered: "Reply to Dahu and tell him to gain Zhuge Qiao's trust and make Zhuge Qiao neglect Guan Yu's daughter."

"As long as Guan Yu's daughter is ignored and I reveal Dahu's identity, not only will Zhuge Qiao be jealous in Shu, but Zhuge Liang will also be implicated."

"Humph!"

"What a handsome young man, he is just a young boy with yellow hair!"

Sun Quan is not good at playing military, but Sun Quan is very cool when playing politics. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will do anything.

After learning about Zhuge Qiao's performance in Jingzhou, Sun Quan had already hatched the idea of ​​​​a divorce plan, and he did not hesitate to let his eldest daughter Sun Luban carry out the honey trap.

You must know that Sun Luban was originally married to Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Xun. After Zhou Xun's death, Sun Luban became a widow.

however.

Sun Quan didn't care at all that Sun Luban was once Zhou Yu's daughter-in-law, so he directly gave Sun Luban a forged identity and went to Nanjun, recognizing Mi Fang, who was looking for a beautiful wife, as his adoptive father.

Although the methods are dirty, they are often very effective.

At present, Sun Luban's identity is not only not suspected by Mi Fang, but is also doted on by Mi Fang like his own daughter, and she can't wait to throw him on Zhuge Qiao's bed immediately.

　Hey, I'm going to write a character named Zhou Banji. You can all guess the identity. It's just a one-man show. She's not the heroine. Don't think too much about it.
