Chapter 1326 Brother
In the early morning of spring and summer, the weather in the east has just revealed a slight light. The milky white mist floats in the ancient city of Chengdu. The faint mist swims lazily under the eaves of the buildings, like a winding small The river is like a jade belt, and the blue-black eaves and corners exposed in the jade belt are like a jade palace floating in the sky.
The streets of Chengdu are undulating, and people walk in them. Because of the terrain, they appear to be hidden or visible. The quaint buildings of brick and wood structure on both sides of the road are more and less frequent, and various trees and shrubs are interspersed among them. Slowly drifting out of the cries of selling, not in a hurry.
Every day seems to start like this, and every day seems to be the same. When the turmoil and bustle of the night have dissipated, new vitality begins to flow again. The city gate outside has been opened, and the vegetable farmers who come in early , or hawkers, or woodcutters come in one after another, and then disperse to the corners of the streets one by one, but whenever they meet acquaintances, they will greet each other with a smile, Sichuan flavor The full long tail sound, not only does not feel procrastinated, but also has some green and vitality.
Of course, occasionally you can see people with tired faces, hurriedly walking along the sidewalk, and even some disheveled people. Most of these people spent the night in some restaurant or brothel, and they had something to do during the day, so they left early.
The shop was half open, and the beggars hadn''t woken up yet. The moss on the stone slabs on the street seemed to be lazily bathed in the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
Happiness is often due to contentment.
A person who never knows how to be content often has no sense of happiness.
Sichuan people seem to have a natural personality. They will work hard, but they also know how to be content. If you can have enough food and clothing, you can always smile.
"...Tangdi Zhihua, Ebuweiwei..." Sitting in the hall, Liu Zhang suddenly said these two words in his heart. Although he tried his best to put on a serious and serious appearance, his dazed eyes betrayed him. his true heart.
Liu Zhang never expected that the old man would die so soon, and then he would become the governor of Yizhou himself.
How good the old days were, how leisurely they were. When I got up in the morning, I would spread the meat wrapped in water. When I had enough, I would pack the meat with water, and then continue to spread. If it rained, I would play chess or play chess on the porch. It''s reading, occasionally practicing brush calligraphy, or finding a few people to watch the sunset and drink some wine, and at night to sleep with the delicate and tender girl.
Of course, there were so-called annoying things before, but most of them were trivial things, such as losing a cockfight, not enough pocket money, and the little lady was angry with herself...
But now, even though the official position has grown and the power has increased, it is all troublesome.
Liu Zhang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"..." Pang Xi sat aside and said, "How do you feel about this matter?"
"Hmm..." Liu Zhang came back to his senses, lowered his head and thought, what did Pang Xi say just now?
Didn''t pay attention at all. But it doesn''t matter, because Liu Zhang knows that if it is a very important matter, Pang Xi will habitually say a few more words, not to mention...
"My lord, the bandits are now rebelling against Brazil and recruiting more soldiers...the passage should be closed quickly, and the passage is strictly prohibited from going north..." Pang Xi really repeated again, "Those who violate the order should be accused of treason..."
Oh, come to think of it, Pang Xi came here mainly to talk about Liu Dan''s stay in Hanzhong during this period.
Because Huang Quan served as the prefect of Hanzhong, some people around Brazil were also recruited to Hanzhong by Liu Dan and Huang Quan during this period of time, forming a new army. And what this army was formed for, naturally a discerning person can understand it at a glance.
So Pang Xi rushed to find Liu Zhang, saying that these people in Brazil are traitors to the country and the party and must be strictly prohibited. If they dare to continue to join the enemy, they must be severely punished!
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "That''s all, I''m bothering Uncle Pang."
"Wei. The envoy is wise." Pang Xi took the order.
Pang Xi could probably be regarded as the minister of Gu Ming, so even if Liu Zhang disagreed, he could give orders directly, but with Liu Zhang nodding, it was more logical.
...
Sure enough, after Pang Xi took a sip of tea, he began to spit for the second round, but this time he did not spit at outsiders in Hanzhong in the north, but at another Gu Ming minister, Zhao Wei.
"...The rebellion in central Sichuan has been suppressed for a long time now, even if there are remnants, it is harmless... Zhao Zhengdong has been stationed in the army for a long time, he should return and pay the soldier amulet... Otherwise, Zhao Zhengdong may have bad intentions..." Pang Xi babbled, spewing out sporadic words The beads of saliva drew mysterious arcs in the air.
Liu Zhang''s head hurts.
The old man passed away, leaving behind two Gu Ming ministers, one is Pang Xi and the other is Zhao Wei.
Pang Xi prefers civil affairs, which can be regarded as literary, while Zhao Wei''s family has passed down military law, which can be regarded as military, one civil and one military, just enough to build a team for Liu Zhang, and these two people are both common surnames in central Sichuan, with certain local influence, as long as these two people support Liu Zhang , the rest of the people are not easy to jump and pinch.
Logically speaking, the old man really loves Liu Zhang, and he has considered all aspects, but maybe it was because of the illness in the last time that Liu Yan couldn''t think more carefully, or this problem was originally left to Liu Zhang to solve in Liu Yan''s mind. Anyway, now the two are acting more and more incompatible, criticizing each other.
There was no war in Central Sichuan before, anyway, Liu Zhang didn’t want to engage in the Nanman. He had no interest in those colorful barbarians. It is stable and stable, so there are actually no major military activities in Chuanzhong.
So Zhao Wei, who was on the military side at first, was suppressed by Pang Xi. They have no money, no food, no military power, some are not as good as Pang Xi in government affairs, and those who are not as round as Pang Xi wants to make are round, and those who want to be square are made into squares. After being turned over several times, he fell silent.
Unfortunately, we didn''t wait long. We don''t know the reason or how it developed. Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning suddenly rebelled and once approached Chengdu. Zhao Wei was ordered to counter the rebellion.
Even so, Pang Xi was still unwilling to let go of the power in his hands, and only gave a part of the military power, and Zhao Wei asked Zhao Wei to find those Sanfu and Yuzhou people who had fled back then to recruit them, named "Dongyang". State Soldiers".
As a result, Zhao Wei really did it...
However, Zhao Wei, who had the military power in his hands, naturally no longer returned to Chengdu, but was stationed in Quren, and Pang Xi was naturally very upset with his appearance of listening to the tune.
"...Uncle Pang... this..." Liu Zhang said slowly, "Uncle Pang, Uncle Zhao, it''s my father''s thigh... This, let alone, someone will send someone to endure it..."
Pang Xi nodded in satisfaction, then took his leave and left.
Looking at Pang Xi going away, Liu Zhang couldn''t help sighing in his heart. Before, he often heard that Pang Xi and Zhao Wei were inseparable, like brothers, but now it seems...
Alas, why was I not?
Big brother, second brother, how nice it is to sit down and drink tea and water, why are you calling back and forth...
Hearing that Liu Dan was in Hanzhong, he also served as governor of Yizhou. Liu Zhang is not stupid, so he naturally understood what this meant, and immediately sent someone to find his elder brother Liu Fan in Jiaozhou. Fraud.
But what Liu Zhang never expected was that Liu Fan sent someone to reply, saying that the Jiaozhou affairs were heavy, South Vietnam was brutal and tyrannical, unable to support Liu Zhang, and asked Liu Zhang to wait for a while...
Sounds good on the surface, right?
But actually?
hehe.
Liu Zhang raised his head, looked at the sky outside the door, and said quietly: "...Brothers fight against the wall, keep their affairs outside, every time you have good friends, there will be no soldiers... Sigh..."
………
Shu is mountainous.
In a valley, a group of soldiers are scattered among them. Some are cutting down branches to build thatched huts, some are searching for wild fruits and vegetables, and some are laying stones beside them, as if preparing to use them as stoves...
On the mountainside behind the valley, three people who looked like generals were sitting together, but judging from their expressions, they didn''t seem to be in harmony.
"Are we brothers?!" Gan Ning shouted loudly, furious, "Now that this is the case, what else is there to say? What''s going on?!"
Shen Mi also said to Lou Fa: "Brother, just tell me what you have. Is it interesting to hide it from my brother?"
Lou Fa was silent, and then sighed after a while, and said, "Forget it...in fact...it''s Zhao Zhengdong''s meaning..."
"What?!" Shen Mi turned pale with shock.
Gan Ning slapped his thigh, "I guessed so!"
Lou Fa suddenly raised his head, looked at Gan Ning in disbelief, and said, "What? Did you guess it? When did you guess it?!"
"Do you think I''m a fool?" Gan Ning has a big mouth, and he sprayed it out without even thinking about it, regardless of the ugly face of Shen Mi, "When Zhao Zhengdong attacked before, he was procrastinating, and then You went up and made a lot of noise, and ended up hurting three people, one of whom was abducted... Is this called a war? Ah? Isn’t it a ghost? Even a blind person can see it!”
Although Zhao Wei''s name is Zhengdong, he is not the general of Zhengdong conferred by the court, but the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang worshiped by Liu Zhang. He doesn''t even have the rank of general. .
"Ahem..." Lou Fa was a little embarrassed by Gan Ning''s words, "This...you know, Zhao Zhengdong was trapped in Chengdu...so he had such a strategy and found me...I can''t refuse this, after all Back then Zhao Zhengdong was kind to me..."
The three of them fell silent in unison.
Knowing and not knowing, guessing and confirming are indeed two completely different concepts, just like killing can be divided into intentional killing and unintentional killing. Gan Ning was willing to take the risk with Lou Fa because Gan Ning himself was also dissatisfied, and he would turn over when he drank too much wine, while Shen Mi had a good relationship with both Lou Fa and Gan Ning. On the contrary, if you are loyal, you will follow.
I thought it was a real rebellion, trying to survive for myself, but I didn’t expect that it was actually a **** for others...
Shen Mi dragged the scabbard in his hand on the ground sullenly, lowered his head, and frowned.
The stones and residual leaves danced on the ground, and some of them slid down the hillside.
"Uh... this, let me say," Lou Fa looked around, felt somewhat sorry for himself, and whispered, "Zhao Zhengdong said... After a while, he will write a letter to Liu Shijun, and then recruit us... Naturally, it will be fine... When we follow Zhao Zhengdong, we will settle down in Brazil, at least there will be a county magistrate... Think about it, what''s the point of dealing with those Nanman in Banan every day!"
"Besides, we didn''t really fight..." Lou Fa continued, "There is no loss... The food and grass these two times were actually given by Zhao Zhengdong... We just put in a little effort, and there is nothing to lose..."
After finishing speaking, Lou Fa looked at Gan Ning and Shen Mi with some trepidation.
Shen Mi shook her head, sighed, and said, "Big brother, you''ve really hurt me this time..."
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, couldn''t help laughing, and said, "Brother Lou, you don''t know, brother Shen just fell in love with..."
Shen Mi quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Gan Ning, saying: "Don''t talk about this, don''t talk about this!"
Lou was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said, "Isn''t it easy? When you arrive in Brazil and become a county magistrate, I will propose a marriage for you! It will definitely happen! At that time, you will have to drink a few more glasses of water." Wine is!"
Joking and laughing, the atmosphere among the three people has recovered a bit, but in fact, the three people know that maybe they will never go back to the old time when they were drinking sour wine and being frank with each other.
Several soldiers climbed up from the mountain path with big strides, came to the front of the three, and reported: "Someone shot a letter at us from the opposite mountain..."
The black arrow shaft, the white tail feathers, and the red scarf on the arrow shaft are very conspicuous.
Lou Fa took the arrow, took off the scarf, glanced up and down, his face couldn''t help but look a little ugly.
"What''s wrong?" Gan Ning asked.
Lou Fa handed the scarf to Gan Ning, and said, "Zhao Zhengdong... said that it is not convenient at hand now... the food and grass will have to wait for a few more days, let us wait here... and it will be delivered in three days..."
"Wait a little longer?" Shen Mi said, "It will take three more days? What does this mean?"
Gan Ning held the scarf and looked at it, frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "...two brothers, to be honest...I have a bad feeling..."
And this feeling soon became a reality, after all, before the balance of power, brothers can no longer be used as weights...
