Liu Chan's stay in Hanzhong was only half a month.
After waiting for Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, Liu Chan set off three days later.
Another month of marching.
The time has come to mid-October.
Huhuhu~
The wind and snow are raging, heavy snow is flying, the cold wind is howling, and the huge city in the distance is looming in the vast white snow.
The convoy marched slowly, walking on the snow.
The flag of the Prince of Hanzhong in the motorcade fluttered in the strong wind. The fluttering flag was printed with bright red, bringing a glimmer of life to this frozen world.
Snowflakes streaked across the direction of the convoy, like silvery white fine salt sprinkled from the sky, shining with a cold light.
The soldiers in the convoy were wearing heavy fur coats, fur cloaks and fur hats, their faces red from the cold. Every step is accompanied by the sound of crunching snow, which seems to be a call to the earth.
The soldiers stared ahead with firm eyes, aiming at the looming giant city.
It has been more than a year, almost two years, since they left Chengdu and returned now. Their families are all in Chengdu, and they naturally feel homesick at this moment.
The horses endured the baptism of wind and snow, neighing and galloping forward. Their manes were covered with white snow, as if they were wearing silver robes.
The vehicles in the convoy left deep ruts in the snow, and each carriage was loaded with food, weapons and military supplies.
In the wind and snow, the voices of the soldiers communicating seemed to disappear in the wind. They conveyed information with gestures and eyes, keeping the team close.
In the wind and snow, the city walls of Chengdu stand like giant dragons on the snow-covered ground. The city wall is tall and strong, and the white snow adds a layer of silver to it.
Close.
Closer.
The city wall towers into the clouds and is covered with snow. The beacon tower on the city wall emits white smoke from time to time, drawing faint curves in the air. The guards on the city wall, wearing heavy leather jackets and holding torches, patrolled in the wind and snow, looking around with vigilant eyes.
Getting closer.
When we were still a few hundred meters away from the city gate, we could see, in the wind and snow, someone wearing thick clothes waiting at the city gate.
Judging from the number of people, it’s definitely a lot.
Especially the conspicuous chariot of the King of Hanzhong behind the crowd is particularly eye-catching.
"Xu~"
Liu Chan jumped off his horse and flicked the snow off his body.
The weather can change at any time, and marching in heavy snow is undoubtedly a kind of torture.
Liu Chan walked forward slowly, and when he got closer, Liu Chan discovered that Liu Bei, wearing royal robes, had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
The snow on my body is half a finger thick.
Liu Chan quickly stepped forward to salute.
"My son, please pay homage to your father."
Seeing Liu Chan step forward to salute, Liu Bei showed a happy smile on his face.
He stepped forward to help Liu Chan up, patted Liu Chan's shoulder hard, and looked at Liu Chan as if he were looking at a baby bump.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"The prince went out to fight, which really showed the prestige of our Han army. Even my father may not be able to do these things well or successfully."
Like Jingzhou, he thought of entering Shu only because he couldn't break the situation in the north.
Like Runan, he also occupied it back then, but in the end he was beaten like a lost dog by Cao Cao's troops.
This was originally Liu Bei's sadness, but his son took action and took them all down.
How unhappy, unhappy, and proud this made him?
"It's all because of my father's reputation that I can achieve these results."
Liu Chan relied on his reputation as the crown prince of Hanzhong to win over many people.
Liu Bei's golden sign of benevolence and righteousness is indeed very easy to use after you have a certain amount of force.
Although Liu Bei is not fighting on the front line, he still has one-third of the credit.
"Adou is too modest."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It is really my luck, Liu Xuande's, my great man's luck, and the world's common people's luck, that the world has given birth to you, Mr. Liu."
"My father said this to my son, which makes him feel a little ashamed."
"Why is Your Highness so humble? He regained the nine counties of Jingxiang and captured the entire county of Runan. He also caused chaos in the Wei Dynasty, soured the relationship between the brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, and made Cao Zhang useful to our great Han Dynasty. Such achievements are achieved by someone as young as Your Highness. I have never heard of it."
Fazheng, who was covered in white snow, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Liu Chan.
"Yes, although His Highness is young, his reputation has already spread throughout the world. There is no one in the country who has not heard of His Highness' reputation. There are even many storytellers in Chengdu who specialize in telling His Highness's stories."
Wu Yi also stepped forward and saluted Liu Chan.
"Hahaha, my eldest nephew is naturally invincible in the world. Come on, give me a hug. I haven't hugged you for several years. Did you know that I changed your diaper back then?"
I saw a big man squeeze out of the crowd.
This man is tall and mighty, with a strong physique, strong muscles and great strength. His face has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick beard on his square chin, making him look even more powerful. His skin is dark and he is often exposed to wind, rain and battles, so he has a bit of toughness and ruggedness.
If it’s not Zhang Fei or Zhang Yide, who is it?
Surrounded by black bear-like people, Liu Chan suddenly felt that the air had become a little dull.
He looked at Zhang Fei with some surprise and asked, "Isn't uncle in Brazil? How come you have time to come to Chengdu?"
"Hahaha~"
Zhang Fei laughed heartily and said: "I am indeed in Brazil, but thanks to His Highness's reputation in Jingzhou, all the Bashu chiefs suddenly ceased their activities, and those who had followed the rebels in the past asked for surrender. , I just have time to come over."
After saying that, he warmly hugged Liu Chan's shoulders and joked: "I'm here to send my daughter off during this time."
For your daughter?
"I have raised such a good daughter, you have to treat her well? Otherwise."
Zhang Fei took out a chopstick from nowhere and broke it directly in front of Liu Chan.
"Otherwise, your kid's fate will be just like these chopsticks."
"uncle."
Liu Chan almost laughed at Zhang Fei's hob.
Liu Bei, who was beside Liu Chan, was already full of dark thoughts.
"Yide, don't be rude!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
But he was also a carefree person. He touched the back of his head with his hand, chuckled twice, and immediately treated it as if nothing had happened.
I have been scolded by Liu Bei too many times, so I have gotten used to it.
"I deeply admire your Highness's wisdom and courage."
"Defeat Cao Cao's thief and revive our Han Dynasty. When we see His Highness, it will be like seeing the sun in the darkness."
"Your Highness is so powerful, I am not as good as you!"
The flattering voices of countless people were louder than the wind and snow.
Perhaps Liu Chan's reputation has indeed reached the sky.
certainly
What's more, they saw Liu Chan's future.
After sending troops to pacify Nanzhong, sending troops to recover the nine counties of Jingxiang, defeating Cao Wei, and defeating Jiangdong, and many other things.
Liu Chan's originally solid position in Hanzhong became even more difficult to shake.
and
A lord who can win battles is more likely to be followed by people sincerely.
It also made the big bosses in the army admire and admire Liu Chan.
Civil servants like Mi Zhu and Xu Jing wanted to drag Liu Chan to their side and show their faces harshly.
Among the generals, like Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, they also gave up their reserve at this moment, just to come forward and talk to Liu Chan.
reputation reputation.
Only now did Liu Chan know the power of this reputation.
He seems to have become a star in the Shu Han Dynasty. These civil servants and generals are all his true fans, and they follow him one after another. They are so crazy that it is a little scary.
"OK OK."
How could Liu Bei not know what these ministers were thinking?
It's just that I want to curry favor and show my face.
Liu Bei was not unhappy at all.
On the contrary, I felt more relieved.
These members of his team can support his son so much, even if he burps now, presumably there will be no chaos in Chengdu, and there will be no chaos in the world.
"We'll have a drink and chat in the lobby. Adou has been marching in the wind and snow for more than a month. Can you bear to see him injured by the wind and snow?"
As soon as Liu Bei spoke, those who wanted to get close to him tacitly gave way.
Seeing this, Liu Bei took Liu Chan's hand and said, "The palace is ready for the reception banquet. Let's go have a bowl of warm wine with my father."
Pulled by Liu Bei, Liu Chan walked quickly to the front of the Hanzhong King's chariot, and then boarded the chariot.
When we got to the chariot, the cold air outside seemed to be blocked.
Phew~
Exhaling a white breath, Liu Chan sat opposite his cheap dad.
Once they were close, Liu Chan discovered that Liu Bei had indeed aged a lot in the past two years.
His hair is already covered with white hair, showing the vicissitudes of time. His face was lined with wrinkles, and the traces of time were deeply etched on his face.
The hand holding him was also of little flesh and blood. The strong body in youth and the stretched skin looked a little wrinkled after old age and decay.
Feeling the look in Liu Chan's eyes, Liu Bei laughed at himself and said, "I'm old. I can't accept it anymore. I had a serious illness a few months ago and almost went to see Lord Taishan."
Hearing this, Liu Chan hurriedly said: "My father is in good health, how can he say such a thing?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I know my own body. After many years of fighting in the field, I have more than 20 wounds on my body. The bones are broken and grown. Now that I am sitting, the wounds on my body hurt from time to time." The pain was even worse when I returned to Nantian, and now that the weather is extremely cold, my body is even more uncomfortable."
As people get older, they have a lot of problems.
This is especially true for someone like Liu Bei who has been fighting for his whole life.
"I have the famous doctor Hua Tuo by my side. With him diagnosing and treating my father and taking good care of his body, my father's health will be worry-free."
Liu Bei was very relieved to see Liu Chan caring so much about his body.
He waved his hand and said, "I wonder if the prince has ever heard of the story of Bian Que meeting Duke Huan of Cai?"
Liu Chan nodded.
"When Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Cai, he said: Your illness is in your skin, and if you don't treat it, it will get worse. After ten days, Bian Que saw him again and said: Your illness is in your skin, and if you don't treat it, it will get worse. Ten days later, He also said: Your illness is in the intestines and stomach. If it is not treated, it will get worse. Ten days later, he said again: The illness is in the bone marrow. The commander of the order belongs to him, and there is nothing he can do."
Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said: "My father's disease is in the bone marrow now, and it is difficult to cure it with medicine and stone. Even if the famous doctor Hua Tuo comes, I'm afraid it will not help."
Liu Chan looked sad.
"If the father leaves, how will the child be able to carry on the great task of restoring the Han Dynasty?"
"You can handle it."
Liu Bei's face showed relief, pride, and joy.
"My father has been oppressed by Cao Mengde all his life. Finally, I defeated him in name in Hanzhong, but in fact, he was not completely defeated. My father's life! I have lost too many times to him, but there are At one point, fatherhood won him over, and too much."
With that said, Liu Bei looked at Liu Chan and said softly: "My father gave birth to a good son like you. Even under the Nine Springs, I can say loudly: I, Liu Xuande, have won against Cao Mengde in my life, and I have won too much." !”
"Father."
Having been father and son with Liu Bei for more than ten years, if they say they don’t have any feelings at all, it would definitely be a lie.
He, Liu Chan, is also a human being and is also made of flesh.
Seeing Liu Xuande, who had revived the Han Dynasty, now looking like a withered old man, it really made him feel a little sad.
"In the past few years, my father has been on your last journey for you, and I have taken the blame. It is up to you to revive the Han Dynasty, and it is up to you to save the people of this world. Do you have the confidence?"
Liu Chan nodded heavily.
"Reviving the Han Dynasty is my father's long-cherished wish, and my sons and ministers will definitely realize it for my father!"
"Okay, okay."
Liu Bei nodded heavily, and the last trace of worry in his heart dissipated.
That night.
A grand banquet was held in the Hanzhong palace.
The ministers feasted.
As the protagonist, Liu Chan was really drunk.
If Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others had not stepped forward to stop Liu Chan from drinking, they would not even be able to get out of the palace.
until late at night.
The moon disk hangs high in the sky.
The banquet is also coming to an end.
The big men of Han China Group are very happy today.
Even Liu Bei, who was feeling unwell, had broken the law today and was so drunk that he was drunk alone.
Not to mention the black-faced Zhang Fei.
Others drink in sips, but he drinks in jars.
He collapsed early, snoring loudly.
People like Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were all drunk.
Out of the palace.
Liu Chan was escorted by the prince's personal guards and walked slowly towards the prince's mansion.
Even if the alcohol content in this era is not high, even if Liu Chan has a good capacity for drinking, he still drank it all tonight.
The entrance to the Prince's Mansion.
There were already two people waiting for him.
The older one was wearing a thick underskirt, probably a silk cotton coat underneath, and a blue and white cape on the outside.
Her face is as white as jade, her skin is covered with a light powder, and her makeup is exquisite. The eyes are bright and clear, revealing wisdom and gentleness. The red lips were smiling slightly, looking demure and gentle.
If it’s not Lan Niang, who is she?
Next to Zhang Peilan, Zhang Peiyu, the pretty little lolita, has grown up a lot.
She was wearing a thick winter coat and a tiger-head hat on her head, which even covered her eyes, revealing only her little nose that was red from the cold.
"Ms. Zhang family."
Fei Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted Zhang Peilan.
"Why is Mr. Lang so drunk alone? As an aide, why don't you watch?"
Fei Yi was embarrassed and said: "They are all in high spirits, and I can't stop them!"
That Zhang Fei, that Ma Chao, that Fazheng
Which one is something he, Fei Yi, can only say.
"That's fine."
Lan Niang stepped forward and supported Liu Chan.
"Tonight, I will take care of His Highness."
