The New Year passed peacefully and boringly. Liu Zhang never returned to Hanzhong since his expedition in 190.
It is now the year 193, and before you know it, Liu Zhang has been an official for ten years.
Ten years ago, Liu Zhang was still racking his brains on how to find a military position. Today, ten years later, Liu Zhang has initially completed his plan for Luoyang.
For Liu Zhang, although the current campaign in Yizhou is important, there is also a problem that he has to face.
No heirs!
If Liu Zhang had an eldest son, the civil and military forces under his command would be more cohesive.
Now that Shu County is completely peaceful and the state pastoral office has moved to Chengdu, Liu Zhang has no reason to leave his family in Hanzhong.
Hanzhong contains not only the family members of Liu Zhang, but also the family members of Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Jia Xu, Xun You and others.
These people are closely related and there must be no mistakes! After much deliberation, Liu Zhang decided to give this task to Taishi Ci.
After the new year passed, Liu Zhang immediately asked Taishi Ci to personally lead 3,000 Wufeng battalions to Hanzhong and bring all the civil and military family members to Chengdu.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
It was not easy for Taishi Ci to go back and forth on the Jinniu Road. By the time he returned to Chengdu again, the weather had warmed up and spring flowers were blooming outside Chengdu.
Outside Chengdu, Liu Zhang led Jia Xu and others to greet him at the city gate.
Liu Zhang did not create a huge formation to welcome these family members, but only called a group of civil and military personnel with family members among them to come.
As the carriage slowly came into view, Liu Zhang began to feel excited.
Liu Zhang has not seen his two wives for more than two years!
Before, I was busy with the war and constantly traveling around. It was not obvious yet. Now I stay in Chengdu all day, and the loneliness in my heart is constantly amplified, and my longing pours out.
"My lord, the general has come to return his life!"
Taishi Ci immediately came forward to tell Liu Zhang that the mission was successfully completed without any omissions.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ziyi. Let Wu Feng camp return to camp. You can also go and accompany the old lady!"
Taishi Ci had been away for two months, and Liu Zhang knew that most of it would have been spent on the way back to the city.
"As you command!"
Taishi Ci was extremely excited. For a filial son like him, he had indeed owed his mother a lot over the years.
I have been busy fighting for a whole year, and I don't even have time to go home and take a look.
Fortunately, Taishi Ci's mother understood the great cause and not only had no complaints, but also often reminded Taishi Ci to put his mind on the great cause.
Liu Zhang glanced at Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and others on both sides. Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. However, due to Liu Zhang's presence, he could only suppress his anxious mood.
"Don't be cautious, you should lead your families back home!"
"Thank you, lord!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, and then the whole city gate became lively. Even Jia Xu joined the team looking for his family members.
Liu Zhang's family members, who had been protected by guards alone, were soon brought to Liu Zhang.
But Liu Zhang was soon shocked to see that there were more than ten carriages in total!
First, an old man walked out of it. He was Liu Zhang's father-in-law, Cai Yong, a great contemporary literary figure.
Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward and personally helped Cai Yong out of the carriage.
"My father-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?"
Cai Yong had mixed feelings in his eyes, and finally nodded slightly.
The last time he and Liu Zhang met was when they snatched Cai Yan outside Luoyang City. At that time, Liu Zhang had just put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was promoted to the post of general.
"Ji Yu, after so many years, things have really changed and people have changed..."
There have been so many changes in these years that everyone in the literary world like Cai Yong is a little confused!
The emperor Liu Hong who wanted to be loyal to him died and he finally returned to the court, but was forcibly sent to Hanzhong by Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo died and Wang Yun came to power, and later Wang Yun died and Li Jue and Guo Si suffered from cholera in the court, Cai Yong realized that Liu Zhang had saved his life invisibly.
What made Cai Yong sigh the most was that after years of struggle, the general who was so sharp and successful as a young man in his eyes has become even more unstoppable!
Especially the kind of self-confidence that Liu Zhang exudes from his heart is absolutely unmatched by ordinary people!
"What my father-in-law said is absolutely true. I never thought that in just ten years, the Han Dynasty would begin to fall apart. The various princes were fighting for power and profit and ignoring the imperial court. It is really sad..."
Cai Yong didn't refute anything. During his time in Chang'an, he saw clearly how many loyal ministers died at Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife?
"Hey, I have long been useless, and I am about to die. From now on, the Han Dynasty soldiers can only rely on Ji Yu!"
During the time when Cai Yong lived in Hanzhong, he really saw what it means to live and work in peace and contentment! Compared to Chang'an, Hanzhong is simply like heaven!
However, after many years of running around, Cai Yong became disheartened. Especially after Dong Zhuo's death, he was completely disappointed with this era.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how can I sit back and watch the rebels in the world steal the Han Dynasty! Sooner or later, I will kill them all!"
Cai Yong nodded happily, and couldn't help but sigh at Cai Yan's eyes.
Liu Zhang is not unchanged, he is sharper than before, but this sharpness seems to be unstoppable!
"Ji Yu, I've also heard about your parents. Since you have killed Zhang Lu and others, the souls of Junlang and his wife can rest in peace in heaven, so don't be too sad!"
Liu Zhang did not say anything more about his parents and invited Cai Yong to the city.
"Uncle-in-law, you have been traveling so long, so you should go back home and rest first!"
Cai Yong did not refuse. He was old and traveling long distances was indeed extremely tiring for him.
Just from Cai Yong's face, Liu Zhang could feel that he was tired from traveling and traveling.
After taking Cai Yong and others back to the Prefectural Mufu and settling everything in place, Liu Zhang finally entered his backyard.
Because of Cai Yong's relationship, Liu Zhang had not had time to meet his two wives!
Now that nothing can stop him, Liu Zhang decided to abandon all trivial matters and resolve the pain of missing each other with his two daughters!
When he arrived in the backyard, Liu Zhang discovered that Cai Yan and Liu Yun were not in the house, but were waiting for Liu Zhang in the courtyard, which made the latter even more gratified.
The two wives did not make things difficult for Liu Zhang, and they also made it unnecessary for Liu Zhang to be embarrassed about who to see first.
"Yun'er, Yan'er!"
After not seeing each other for more than two years, Liu Yun and Cai Yan have become more mature. In Liu Zhang's eyes, this is the best time for a woman.
Compared with the youth of seventeen or eighteen years old, the charm of the current age attracted Liu Zhang's love the most.
"Husband!"
The two women screamed excitedly, then they rushed towards Liu Zhang together, went straight into his arms, and buried their heads in Liu Zhang's chest.
Liu Yun and Cai Yan didn't have as many things to deal with as Liu Zhang, so they missed each other every day for more than two years, and their love for each other far exceeded that of Liu Zhang.
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Feeling the softness in his arms, Liu Zhang suddenly felt satisfied, and all his worries and sorrows completely disappeared.
Liu Zhang just held the two girls quietly and told each other his thoughts in his heart, from dawn to dusk!
"Yan'er, Yun'er, my husband has a huge problem recently. If we can't handle it well, the whole Yizhou may be in danger of being destroyed!"
Seeing Liu Zhang's righteous speech, the two girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"Husband, why is this matter so serious? Why don't you discuss it with Military Advisor Jia?"
Jia Xu had governed Hanzhong for many years, and the impression of his resourcefulness had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, even Liu Yun and Cai Yan were no exception.
Liu Zhang shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Hey! Jia Xu couldn't help with this matter. On the contrary, he was the one who started the problem!"
"What! Military Master Jia is so loyal, how could he do such a thing?"
If Liu Zhang said that Jia Xu was plotting rebellion, neither Liu Yun nor Cai Yan would believe it.
"In short, this matter all depends on you two, and the safety of Yizhou also depends on you two!"
"Husband, please tell me!"
Liu Zhang's hat was too big, and Liu Yun and Cai Yan didn't think they could do much as two weak women.
"Wen He said that if there is no more son, Yizhou's foundation will be unstable..."
