Chapter 837 The Return of Liu Bu
In the Huaxia Empire, which besieged Wuchang Prefecture, he took the initiative to retreat, and only sent a small number of troops to the city to control major hubs and some important departments.
This approach made the people in the city feel a little relieved.
After the newly appointed prefect took office, he came forward to post a notice of peace and comforting people, and the situation was controlled.
The Chinese army once again recruited the city. This time their recruitment was very successful and did not resist as much as before. After King Chu, He Tengjiao and others died one after another, the people in the city were in chaos, and the trees fell and the Husband scattered, and they no longer had the intention to fight the Chinese army to death.
What they think more is to let themselves live. Since Wuchang Prefecture has been captured, this area occupied by the Chinese Empire is a fait accompli. There is no need to fill it with human lives and make unnecessary sacrifices.
After the Chinese army once again released their goodwill and sent people to persuade the surrender, the last resisting officers and soldiers in the city put down their weapons, and most of the gentry expressed their willingness to surrender. The Chinese army came forward to help them appease the local people, crack down on all kinds of robberies and rampant acts.
The Chinese army did not massacre the city, which actually made many people feel at ease and knew that if they didn’t drink toast at this time, they would be punished for drinking.
Of course, the top leaders of the Chinese Army also understand that conquering a place is best to make the other party surrender. There is a saying that the three armies can seize the commander, but ordinary men cannot seize the will. To make the other party surrender is the best way. Even if they blindly pass cruelty and large-scale killing, they will not solve the problem, and more problems will arise.
During the besiege of Wuchang Prefecture, they were so angry that they fought bloody, but after the battle was over, all grudges had to be put aside and they had to work together to create a better future.
The Chinese army conquered the world, while seizing wealth, and also gave the people of the world a stable life, a peaceful world, and a ruined land, which was not what they wanted.
Because Liu Bu was ordered to return to Nanjing, he passed by Wuchang Prefecture, an important city, and stopped for a while. He chatted with Liu Zhongyong for an hour and then took a boat back to Nanjing.
Liu Bu has a characteristic, which is that he likes to travel in a low-key manner. If there is no need, he doesn’t like to be high-profile and ostentatious when entering and leaving.
Just like when he led tens of thousands of troops to fight that day, he did not leave the city in a mighty way, but led his troops in a low-key manner and arrived at the battlefield quietly.
When he came back, he did not make a high-profile publicity, because Liu Bu actually understood that there were many enemies in their own right, and more people wanted their father and son to die. The lower the key, the longer they lived. Even a great man of his level, if he did not show up in public, others would just find an opportunity to ambush or assassinate him, which was very difficult.
Accompanied by his third wife Ziqing and the escort of the naval fleet, Liu Bu returned to Nanjing City in a low-key manner and logged in at the Nanjing Wharf. After logging in, he did not use his own flag and directly returned to the left-behind residence in Nanjing.
This is where the Liu family father and son live. Because Liu Bu is the soul of the Chinese Army, which is the focus of everyone's attention, the enemy can even judge the Chinese Army's strategy through Liu Bu's whereabouts. Therefore, Liu Bu and Liu Yuanqiao both have a characteristic, which is that they like to travel in a low-key manner.
Liu Yuanqiao likes private visits in condom. His travel is almost a first-class secret, and no one can know it in advance. And even if he knows that Liu Yuanqiao likes travel in condom, he is all the guard masters and close ministers around him, and they all secretly keep this content.
Of course, this is also related to the underdeveloped communication in this era. For example, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty often never left the palace for life, and ordinary people formed their inherent thinking, that is, these emperors and ministers were used to staying in their own nests and never coming out for life.
Liu Bu returned to the garrison after a light car, but did not cause any trouble. This was because Liu Bu did not take the banner of General Liu. The officers and soldiers guarding around him were also decorated and labeled by ordinary officers and soldiers. Many unknown people thought that this was just an ordinary military mobilization.
The Chinese army established a country with military force and attached great importance to the construction of the army. It was normal for their troops to be transferred around the city and to constantly change defenses. This means that no one knew that Liu Bu was back when his guards entered the city.
However, although Liu Bu was traveling in a low-key manner, after he returned to the garrison mansion, all the people in the mansion came out to welcome him to return victoriously.
Even Liu Yuanqiao was welcomed. Seeing Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Bu quickly walked forward, half-kneeled down, saluted him, and said, "Meet Your Highness, the Chief of the Superintendent, Liu Bu, was ordered to fight the west and return to his mission. He would like to hand over the order to your Highness."
Liu Yuanqiao quickly helped him up, his face full of relief. He said, "Well done! After returning from the victory, he became stronger."
Although Liu Bu was out fighting, he was exhausted, but the high-intensity training and life of the army also kept his body and physical fitness in the best state. He looked like a fierce and heroic spirit.
Liu Bu said, "Thank you for your praise."
Liu Yuanqiao said, "Since I'm back, I'll go to pay my respects to my grandma first, and then have a meal for the whole family, have a good rest for a few days, and then discuss the plan together."
Liu Bu said: "The military situation is critical now, what else can I rest? I hope to gather all the staff from the General Staff tomorrow to discuss the major plans and discuss the future of the Chinese army."
Liu Yuanqiao actually likes his son's pragmatic style, which is completely different from the second generation ancestor who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun before. This is a manifestation of his growing up. Regarding his statement, Liu Yuanqiao said: "Tomorrow, at the hour of Si, (10 o'clock) to have a meeting in the study room on time."
In fact, Liu Yuanqiao also understood that the situation of their Chinese army is not good now, and it is not the time to rest. It is just that his son is still going out to fight when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and he cannot wait at home even if the child is born. This is indeed a hard work. Now he has finally returned from victory and let him rest for a few days. This is also a matter of course.
But Liu Bu knew that the military situation was urgent and could not be wasted every minute, let alone a few days off.
And if we talk about the workload at home, compared with the battle outside, it is simply a rest.
You should know that outside, he often follows the troops, rides horses, goes in the wind and rain, and is very tired. In the bustling Nanjing City, he just presides over some meetings, reads some military newspapers and memorials every day. No matter how tired he is, he cannot compare with when he was a soldier outside.
The whole mansion came out to greet Liu Bu, the great general who returned victoriously, returned victoriously, but the morale of the people greatly encouraged everyone.
You should know that the defeat of Yiling made the entire upper class of the Huaxia Empire panic, for fear that they would not be able to resist Zhu Xieyuan's troops. The other party sent a large army to sweep them, and they would be in trouble.
Now Liu Bu lived up to expectations and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, defeated the enemy and returned from great victory. On the day of Liu Bu's return, there was another province, which was the richest Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, and it was their territory. This made everyone very happy and excited. China's destiny is invincible.
Among the people who welcomed Liu Bu, there were naturally his wife Zheng Zining and the second wife Chen Yuanyuan. They all held their children and some people came here to welcome Liu Bu with umbrellas.
After paying farewell to his father, Liu Bu immediately ran forward and fought outside, sleeping in the open on the battlefield, and was used to seeing people's separation and death. At this moment, he was very happy and excited when he saw his family.
Especially when he looked at a child Zheng Zining was holding, he felt even more excited. This was his newborn son who had never seen before.
When Liu Bu met his wives and concubines, he didn't have time to greet him, so he first carried his son into his arms.
Because Liu Bu knew that his wife and children would come to pick him up today, after entering the inner palace, he took off his iron armor, for fear that he would rush him when he was holding the child.
Liu Bu looked at a small meat ball in his arms with a smile on his face and looked lovingly. The child is sleeping now, breathing very evenly and gently. He has just been born about a month ago and has not yet grown. His fetal hair has not yet subsided. Moreover, his whole body is wrinkled and looks a little yellow and wrinkled. However, as long as he thinks that this is his son, Liu Bu's heart is full of love. He knows that having a son in this era means inheritance.
Moreover, it was not his own business for Liu Bu to have a son, but for the entire Chinese Empire. Holding his son, Liu Bu felt full of happiness and joy in his eyes. He smiled and said to Zheng Zining: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Zining openly accepted this point, and said, "You are not a woman, and you don't know the hard work of having a child. In order to give birth to a son for you, I almost lost my life."
Liu Bu said, "I know you have worked hard, so I brought a lot of gifts outside and reward you whatever I want."
Zheng Zining gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think I will care about your property? As long as you return safely, it is the best gift."
Liu Bu said: "It is necessary to return safely. This is not only a matter of repelling the enemy, taking Huguang, but also taking them from Sichuan. It is considered to be a matter of waiting for me to give you a favor."
Zheng Zining blushed and said, "No serious person, what does it mean to please me? In the end, this country is not your surname Liu, and it is not your son for you."
Liu Bu said: "My son is also your son, and the world and the country will also belong to him."
Liu Bu turned to the world and worked very hard, but seeing how beautiful the country they had built was, he was filled with relief.
As far as he knows, in the original history, this disaster in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties broke up the Central Plains, killing only half of the people in the country.
