Chapter 394: Back to Chang'an, there is love everywhere
Seeing his son's face full of dissatisfaction, how could Liu Zhang ignore it? He immediately asked someone to select a good sheep from the cattle and sheep he brought back, and made a roasted whole lamb dish that is most commonly made by foreigners, and put the most beautiful lamb
Cut off a piece and give it to Liu Tuo. To be honest, Liu Zhang may have been fighting abroad all year round and always neglected his wife. In addition, he didn't like to have extramarital affairs. As a result, he still only has an only son.
Although Liu Tuo wanted to eat meat, he still shook his head. During Liu Zhang's campaign against foreigners, several of his masters also told him about the customs of foreigners. It is said that the most beautiful parts of cattle and sheep are only found in the noblest people.
Only he can eat it. Obviously, among the people in the room, he is the only one with the lowest status
Liu Zhang was a person who did not abide by etiquette, let alone the rules of foreigners. He put the meat into his son's bowl and told his son that respect should be in the heart, not in the food. In ordinary people, if you have good things, you will naturally want them.
Honor your parents first, and if you are from a wealthy family, you should share the worries of your parents
Although Liu Tuo was young, he understood what Liu Zhang meant and ate the meat very happily. Several of his wives were a little happy and looked at Liu Tuo with some jealousy. Seeing his family happy, Liu Zhang naturally ignored the jealousy.
.No matter how career-minded a man is, who doesn’t do it for a family? Modern women may not understand it, because they can be self-reliant, and men are dispensable to them. Ancient women were the vassals of men, and they understood that in purdah
The emotion and pain of waiting for my husband to come home.
There is a poem that goes: Regret asks the husband to seek a title of marquis. But if the husband does not have a title, how can he regret it? It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, women are very contradictory. In fact, men do not need to fully understand their thoughts.
As long as he loved them, it was enough. Liu Zhang loved his wives and concubines very much. He chose to turn a blind eye to some innocuous things. The meal was very sweet. After eating and drinking, Liu Zhang fell into a deep dream with all the ladies waiting on him. Dream.
In the middle, he vaguely saw the future and the past, but it seemed as if he didn't see anything, and he had a dream without trace...
The matter of returning home early was originally very confidential, because Liu Zhang wanted to have a good rest before going out to be a director. The army squadron drove from Jicheng to Chang'an, not twenty days, but at least half a month. The affairs involved were not ordinary complicated, Liu Zhang
There was a long period of leisure. But Dianwei, an old boy, was too dishonest. The next day he went to Guo Jia's house to drink. Seeing Liu Zhang's bodyguard, anyone who was not a pig would have guessed that Liu Zhang had returned.
Mansion.
At this time, Chang'an was in a state of excitement. It was normal for people like Guo Jia and Zhou Yu to come to visit, but there were also many officials, junior officials, and even scholars and celebrities who came here because Liu Zhang defeated Yuan Shao and became the overlord of the north. As for Liu Zhang's defeat of the foreigners
The story was also spread by thoughtful people such as Guo Jia and Zhou Yu. Now, Liu Zhang's name is very popular in the Han Dynasty. Even if he is a little weak after his victory, it is enough for these speculative politicians to make a choice.
Facing the crowds of people who came one after another, Liu Zhang had to close his door to thank the guests and let Guo Jia and Zhou Yu arrange the reception. However, in most of the guest lists, Liu Zhang caught a glimpse of the names of a few people. These people were not only the governor, but also the governor of the state.
Talent, there is another thing in common, that is, they are called the "Four Friends" together with Xu Shu. When Liu Zhang thought about it, it was probably not accidental that these people appeared in front of him, so naturally he could not neglect it.
At Chang'an Mansion, Liu Zhang received Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, and other people with mediocre talents or no reputation, who were received by Guo Jia and others. After a long conversation, Liu Zhang found that the talents of these three people were indeed extraordinary.
To be honest, Liu Zhang always felt that leaving great talents like Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Fazheng, and Lu Xun in the local areas as state pastors was really a waste of time. Now that we have these three people, we can exchange for a few more.
Therefore, Liu Zhang ordered Shi Tao to be the shepherd of Jizhou, Meng Jian to be the shepherd of Bingzhou, and Cui Jun to be the shepherd of Youzhou. As for Fazheng and Lu Xun, they could not move yet. After all, the Nanman and Qiang people had not retreated yet, and it would only be sooner or later for them to retreat.
Otherwise, Liu Zhang would definitely not let them go if he had his hands free.
When they met Liu Zhang for the first time, they were appointed as prefecture shepherds. Farewell, Shi Tao and the other two happily took up their posts. Originally, Liu Zhang wanted them to meet Xu Shu, but the three of them said that there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and that gentlemen will work together rather than party members.
These three were so ambitious that Liu Zhang could not say anything more, so he let them leave.
Shi Tao and the others left Chang'an and took a large number of people with them. After all, You Bingji wanted the three states to be ruined and needed a lot of manpower. Talented people should have the self-knowledge to realize that their talents are not even recognized by those around Liu Zhang.
They wanted to take other ways. It happened that Shi Tao and the others were going to serve as officials in the prefectures and counties, and after receiving Liu Zhang's instructions, they selected a group of talented people from those who defected to assist them in governing the prefectures and counties.
The remaining people, apart from relying on their own talents and unwilling to give in, are incompetent people. These people do not need Liu Zhang to meet them, and they are directly assigned tasks according to their talents. Those who are boastful and ignorant, they must regard Confucianism as the orthodoxy.
The book beetle was beaten out of Chang'an by Liu Zhang with a stick. Although these people were aggrieved, the situation was stronger than others. Who dared to say a word in Chang'an, I'm afraid what they faced was not a stick, but a knife.
Those who were beaten out took advantage of the opportunity to join Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang even allowed Hulao Pass to be released. When these rotten scholars arrived at Cao Cao's place, they would talk about respecting the king and fighting off the barbarians, which would definitely make Liu Xie very happy. As for Cao Cao's displeasure
, Liu Zhang is not responsible for it. However, Cao Cao must not be happy either. Anyone who knows that his enemy is powerful again will not be happy either.
It was finally quiet, but Xu Shu's army was not far away from Chang'an. Liu Zhang had no choice but to leave Chang'an and return to the army. After all, he was the lord. If the triumphant army was missing the protagonist, Xu Shu would not dare to accept the welcome of everyone. Liu Zhang was full of people who entered the city with the army.
His face was full of dissatisfaction. When everyone saw his face, various speculations abounded. Some even said that Liu Zhang felt that the foreign coalition forces and Yuan Shao were not strong enough and the fight was not satisfactory. Only those who know the causes and consequences would laugh.
The army returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an was once again in a boil. When Liu Zhang sneaked back to the city, it was only the upper-level officials and speculative politicians who were boiling. Now the whole of Chang'an, and even half of the Han Dynasty, is boiling. It's not because Liu Zhang defeated Yuan Shao, but because
Because Liu Zhang completely defeated the foreigners
The Han people are the most bloody nation, but later some ignorant and shameless emperors used tricks to castrate this blood. I think back then, in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the people of the country heard that they were going to use troops against the Huns, who would not be happy and rejoicing?
, and who doesn’t support it? There are many people who joined the army to serve the country, donated money and goods, but it’s a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not take advantage of it, which made the generals rich but lost the hearts of the people.
Now, Liu Zhang defeated Xianbei and the Huns, and did not let the people bear half of the burden. He even used the captured goods to rescue the people and reward meritorious soldiers. In the eyes of the people, Liu Zhang's martial arts had surpassed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when Liu Zhang led his generals and
When the guard entered the city, all the people in Chang'an shouted long live to him. Even though long live is a term reserved for the emperor, these shouts of long live made Liu Zhang's men think. Guo Jia and Zhou Yu shouted to Jia Xu behind Liu Zhang.
With a slight glance, Jia Xu understood their intentions.
With the generals, Liu Zhang came to the meeting hall of Chang'an Mansion amid the crowds of people lined up to greet him. This was originally the main hall of the palace, and several emperors once received ministers here. In the past, the grand hall had lost its glory, but today it seems like
The majesty returns, making people feel intimidated.
Promotions, rewards, these things do not need Liu Zhang to worry about. Guo Jia and Zhou Yu have already done everything properly. In fact, everything is illusory in this world. Only military power is real. Of course, this is just the idea of generals, pawns.
But they are still waiting for rewards and military pay to survive
Disabled soldiers can still carry their money bags and go home with rewards and military merit certificates. Soldiers who died can only receive pensions from their relatives, which adds a shadow to this joyous scene. After all, no matter it is victory,
If you lose a war, people will die, and dying is not something to be happy about. Feeling this, Liu Zhang increased the pensions for the dead soldiers, so that those who had family members who died in the war would be grateful. However, Liu Zhang hoped that the world would be unified as soon as possible.
There is no more war. Unfortunately, it is a bit unrealistic.
In this way, the whole of Chang'an, and even Liu Zhang's territory, was filled with people who were happy and others who were sad. Soon, there was news that broke the calm. Zhang Bai of Luoyang changed his banner, expressed his submission to Liu Zhang, and personally led his army to Chang'an to surrender at Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass.
The guards all released, and at the gate of Chang'an City, Liu Zhang personally welcomed Zhang Baiqi and named him the Luoyang Guard General. Overview of Luoyang Military Affairs Of course, all leading generals need to be trained
Zhang Baiqi was not a person who loved power. If he had any concerns, he only had Liu Zhang's fourth wife, his junior sister Zhang Ning. So Zhang Baiqi refused to continue leading the army and asked to be a housekeeper in Liu Zhang's house.
Or a young boy. He just wanted to take good care of his junior sister, fulfill his brother's responsibilities, and comfort Zhang Jiao's spirit in heaven. Liu Zhang would not refuse or refuse such a request, and he did not want Zhang Ning to lose such a good person.
brother
As a result, the world lost Zhang Baiqi, who led the army to kill, but Liu Zhang's house had a kind man like an old farmer. This old man came in and out of Liu Zhang's house every day, but he had no sense of being a servant. However, all of them
People were very polite to him. Even Liu Zhang would respectfully call him brother. He was Zhang Baiqi.
Zhang Baiqi left the army, and Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, and Wulu also quit the army because they knew their abilities were limited and felt that they were too old. However, they did not have such a deep relationship with Liu Zhang and would not lower themselves. Several of them
After receiving the farmland distributed by Liu Zhang, he cultivated during the day, shared the kang with his mother-in-law at night, and had gatherings from time to time. Those days were so carefree that even Liu Zhang was a little envious.
