The issue of how to treat Guan Yu's injuries did not linger for long. Fan A'ke said that if you want to make a decision, you have to make a decision quickly. If you delay it, it will be bad if Guan Yu's injuries recur.
After only struggling for one night, Fan A received the notice to follow the first method of treatment.
This matter was decided by the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang after discussing it behind closed doors for a whole night.
Obviously, it was the uncle and the third uncle who convinced the second uncle to adopt such a conservative treatment method.
There was no way, Fan A's second treatment method sounded too scary, it was no less than stabbing Guan Yu in the stomach again, and the certainty of cure was only 30%.
The most important thing is that even if he is cured, suffering such a serious injury, according to the traditional Chinese medicine theory of this era, is a loss of energy and blood. Guan Yu is now sixty-one, and it is really difficult to recover at this age.
Although it won't affect your ability to fight on horseback in the future, if you still want to go into battle with the Green Dragon Sword and kill the enemy, don't even think about it.
It's not much better than staying at home and retiring.
Nowadays, Liu Guan and Zhang are older, especially since Liu Bei and Guan Yu are close in age, so Liu Bei really doesn't want Guan Yu to take risks anymore. If he loses his second brother, Liu Bei probably won't be able to survive for too long at his age. .
Therefore, one night, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei tried to persuade Guan Yu that since the sworn friendship in Taoyuan, the three of them had been together. If Guan Yu did anything bad, they would have no choice but to sacrifice their lives to be with each other and live up to the sworn friendship in Taoyuan.
If it were just about personal life and death, with Guan Yu's temperament, he would definitely not want to lie in bed and wait for death, so he would definitely take a risk.
But when Liu Bei mentioned the sworn friendship in Taoyuan, Guan Yu felt soft when he thought of the oath he made back then.
It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. If the eldest brother and the third brother really want to follow them out of their minds, what will this big man do? !
Especially the eldest brother, his health has not been very good these years, and he is getting older. If something goes wrong, the eldest nephew is only 18 years old this year. After he succeeds to the throne, can he really stabilize the situation? !
Compared with his own body, the friendship between the eldest brother and the third brother and the stability of the Han Dynasty are more important.
Therefore, Guan Yu had to accept the persuasion of his eldest brother and third brother and adopt conservative treatment.
However, Guan Yu was full of regrets about this result. For Guan Yu, he would have to ride a bicycle when going out in the future, which was simply a torture.
Liu Bei also saw Guan Yu's unwillingness, but at this time, Liu Bei could only persuade Guan Yu.
Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Deng Ai and others are all talented generals, but they have never been trained and taught. Although Guan Yu is unlikely to go into battle in the future, shouldn't this ability be passed on to others?
Firstly, it can continue to glorify the Guan clan, and secondly, it can also train successors for the Han Dynasty.
They are all old. In the future, the world will be handed over to young people, and the friendship between the three of them must be inherited by the younger generations.
Therefore, Liu Bei also persuaded Guan Yu to stay in Jingzhou and recuperate in peace, and at the same time teach Guan Ping and others well. When these people can take charge of their own affairs, Liu Bei will make the decision and take Guan Yu to Chengdu to rest.
In this way, I finally found a reason for Guan Yu to temporarily relax and accept Fan A's treatment.
As for Liu Bei, he stayed in Xiangyang for a month and watched Guan Yu slowly recover, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
At this time, Zhuge Liang also sent a letter from Chang'an, asking when Liu Bei would return to Chang'an. There were many things that required Liu Bei to make decisions personally. Liu Bei then left Zhang Fei to continue to take care of Guan Yu, and at the same time, he helped Guan Yu guard Jingzhou while he guarded it alone. Under escort, return to Chang'an.
At this time, Chang'an did have a lot of troubles to deal with, and Zhuge Liang really couldn't handle these things.
Liu Bei captured Chang'an and had great political influence. Liu Bei had to go back and make decisions on many matters in person, so that this political influence could be expanded.
Furthermore, it is not a problem for Liu Bei to stay in Xiangyang all the time, especially after the results of the Northern Expedition were reported back to Chengdu. According to private reports from Chen Zhen and others who stayed in Chengdu, the group of Sichuan aristocratic families in Chengdu slowly began to Becoming a little restless.
Ever since the news of the Northern Expeditionary Army's capture of Chang'an reached Luoyang, the families in Chengdu began to feel uneasy. As the Northern Expeditionary Army was stationed in Chang'an for longer and longer, the people in Chengdu became more and more uneasy.
Could it be that the emperor doesn't plan to return to Chengdu? !
Don't look at the group of Shuzhong aristocratic families who have always had a half-cooperative and semi-confrontational attitude towards Liu Bei, but if one day Liu Bei really announces that he will move the capital to Chang'an, then these Shuzhong aristocratic families will be the ones who jump the most.
Chengdu is now the capital of the Han Dynasty. Although these aristocratic families are not satisfied with Liu Bei, they are quite satisfied with the benefits brought by Chengdu's upgrade to the capital of a country.
But if Liu Bei really moves the capital to Chang'an, Chengdu will still be just the seat of a remote state. This group of Chengdu aristocratic families suddenly turned from the nobles in the capital to the southwestern countrymen. The gap in status is secondary, the key is interests. I can't afford the loss.
Today's Chengdu is the economic and political center of the four states of the Han Dynasty. Even in places as far away as Liangzhou and Jingzhou, some important bulk goods distribution transactions are carried out in Chengdu. This allows these Shuzhong aristocratic families to take advantage of the local indigenous people. , there was a lot of food.
If the capital is moved to Chang'an, won't all these benefits be lost? !
The Chengdu aristocratic families were all worried about this, and even the fact that Liu Bei went to Xiangyang to simply visit Guan Yu made these people interpret it differently.
During this period, the visits between the Chengdu aristocratic families became more frequent. Finally, this group of people found a suitable time and got together under the leadership of the Chengdu Li family.
"The Emperor is blessed. The Northern Expeditionary Army has received help from Heaven. Now it is a great blessing to regain the old capital of Chang'an."
Li Yu, the patriarch of the Li family in Chengdu, said this at the beginning.
This is just a conversation. Although everyone knows that this is not the purpose of gathering today, it still needs to be said.
No one here knows who's virtuous. If you say something wrong, someone will turn around and sell you to please Liu Bei to please Liu Bei for the sake of family wealth. You still have to say what you need to say for the occasion.
Next, of course, there was a lot of praise and praise, and no one said less what each family should say.
But that’s enough, it’s time to get down to business.
"It is certainly gratifying to regain the old capital, but now that the war is over, the emperor is still stranded outside, and there is no one in the court to take charge of the government, but it is not a good thing."
Liu Shen, the head of the Liu family, Liu Yin’s father, took the initiative.
On the surface, it was talking about government affairs, but in fact, everyone understood that it was talking about whether the emperor might move the capital.
"Although this matter is cause for concern, it is not unreasonable!" Yang Chong, the head of the Yang family, twirled his beard and pretended to say, "Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty after all, and it has been falling to thieves for decades. , I am fortunate to have taken it back today, and it is understandable that the emperor would stay for a while."
"But the court cannot be without a master for a day." Zhang Jiajia advocated the intervention and said, "The emperor's capital is Chengdu, which is the capital of the Han Dynasty. It is abnormal for the emperor to conquer the country personally. Now after winning, he lingers outside. Isn't it a courtesy of the emperor? yeah?!"
A bunch of old foxes, no one was willing to be taken advantage of, and they could never get into the whole group. In the end, the family of the Zhang family in Shuzhong couldn't stand it any longer, so they left a small hole for everyone to discuss what to do next.
What these Shu families are most afraid of is that Liu Bei chose to move the capital to Chang'an after regaining Chang'an.
And the key is that Liu Bei had a legitimate reason to move the capital to Chang'an.
Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and when Liu Bei ascended the throne, he announced that he would inherit the Han Dynasty. There was no chance before, but now that Chang'an has been conquered, with Liu Bei's temperament, how could he continue to stay in Chengdu as the local emperor instead of moving the capital to Chang'an, overlooking The world? !
But if Liu Bei really wants to move the capital to Chang'an, then Chengdu can only be regarded as a Western capital, or even a companion capital. The loss of profits in this is not what these Shuzhong aristocratic families are willing to accept.
"Although this is not polite," Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "We are all talking in a low voice in the court, and the emperor cannot hear it. Besides, if the emperor comes to Chang'an and we are sitting in Chengdu, how can we make the emperor change his mind? !”
This is true.
First, the relationship between the Chengdu family and Liu Bei has always been very delicate.
On the one hand, the Chengdu aristocratic family was very dissatisfied with some of Liu Bei's policies, not only the fish scale album system, but also the right to sell paper, printing, etc. This was simply digging up the foundation of the aristocratic family in Shu.
Therefore, the Shuzhong aristocratic family has not been very enthusiastic about becoming an official in the Liu Bei Group. Except for a few representatives such as Qin Mi and Huang Quan, they really have no say in the Han court.
On the other hand, Liu Bei did not have much trust in the aristocratic families in central Shu. He also knew that he was a foreigner in Chengdu. Therefore, Liu Bei's base was still dominated by the Jingzhou faction, supplemented by the Dongzhou faction to control Yizhou. The Yizhou native faction has always had some barriers.
It didn't matter before. As for the aristocratic family, this issue of face is very important. If you, Liu Bei, don't want to talk to us, we don't want to talk to you.
But now, Liu Bei has captured Chang'an. Once Liu Bei chooses to move the capital, it will not be a matter of face, but a matter of interests.
Obviously, for the aristocratic family, the issue of interests is more important than the issue of face.
Therefore, these aristocratic families in central Shu gathered together to discuss how to use the influence of aristocratic families in central Shu to persuade Liu Bei not to move the capital.
But now, these aristocratic families in Shu discovered that in the past few years, in order to show off their aloofness, they also felt that Liu Bei could not manage Shu at all without them. Sooner or later, they had been asking for such a half-cooperative and half-confrontational attitude on them. Now they remain There will be bad consequences.
Now I want to persuade Liu Bei not to move the capital, but there is no one who can speak in front of Liu Bei.
Don't mention Huang Quan and Qin Mi. You can't count on these two guys at all.
Huang Quan's salary within the Liu Bei Group has always been high. The Huang family of Bajun is also the family that holds the exclusive rights to sell paper in one state. Although they can no longer annex land under the Fish Scale Atlas, they rely on the profits from selling paper. , but it is far more than annexing land, and it is not hated by anyone, and can even gain the gratitude of many soldiers and people from poor families.
As for Qin Mi, this old boy has recently become the Minister of Rites as he wished and has become a great scholar in the world. He is so proud that he has no time to deal with the affairs of the aristocratic families in central Shu.
Therefore, the current Shuzhong family is passive in persuading Liu Bei not to move the capital.
