Three Kingdoms

Liu Qi returned to the camp in Anhan. He first took the hot towel handed by the maid on the side, wiped it on his face randomly, then threw the towel into the copper basin, turned around and asked Kuai Qi: "This The matter really has nothing to do with that black-faced Zhang?"

Although there are some issues regarding the distribution of interests between Liu Qi and Liu Bei, they still share the same interest orientation on some issues. Therefore, at this stage, Liu Qi cannot use this matter to suppress Liu Bei. Instead, he must defend Liu Bei, or He said it was Zhang Fei's reputation, because Liu Qi also knew that protecting Liu Bei and Zhang Fei was actually protecting his own reputation.

At this point, although Liu Qi is not very smart, he is not so stupid.

But defending in front of outsiders does not mean that Liu Qi has no doubts in his heart.

After all, there is no smoke without fire. If Zhang Fei didn't do this, why was the finger pointed at Zhang Fei instead of someone else?

Kuai Qi lowered her head, pretending not to see the charming and sad look in the beautiful maid's eyes, and then watched the flowing skirt disappear from the corner of her eyes, and then whispered to Liu Qi: "Colonel Zhang shouldn't be like this... ..." Calling General Zhang Fei is an honorific title. In fact, Zhang Fei's rank is just that of a school captain, a miscellaneous name.

Liu Qi was silent for a moment, nodded, and breathed out: "As long as it's not him... But who should it be? Meng Zidu?"

There are only two parties with military power inside and outside Anhan City, one is from Liu Qi's side, and the other is from Sichuan Mengda's side. Since Kuai Qi analyzed that it was not Zhang Fei who did it, and it was not Liu Qi's side that did it, then it seems The only possibility is that Meng Da did it here...

"I have some doubts..." Kuai Qi nodded slightly, then frowned, "But looking at Meng Zidu's expression... it doesn't seem like it..."

Liu Qi scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Who is that!"

Kuai Qi smiled and said: "Young Master, why don't you care who it is... Even if Captain Zhang did not do this, Liu Xuande's lax discipline will not be able to escape after all... Young Master, why don't you..."

Liu Qi suddenly realized, burst out laughing and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

Liu Qi stood up, walked to the front of the hall, and said loudly: "Come here! Order Liu Xuande to cooperate with Meng Lingjun to thoroughly investigate the Leijiazhai incident! Kuai Gongtai will handle the miscellaneous matters in the military camp outside the city for the time being!"

Kuai Qi stood aside and accepted the order.

…………………………

When Liu Bei returned to his camp, it was already under a bright moon. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came out together and looked at Liu Bei worriedly.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Liu Bei laughed, jumped off the horse, shook his legs, and stretched his blood. He patted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the shoulders and walked towards the center of the camp. "This is a small matter, no need to worry about it."

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei in a huff. After entering the tent, he couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Brother! This is too bullying!"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but the expression on his face showed everything.

Liu Bei sat down and shook his legs. Although he tried his best to hide it on his face, the fatigue of his body and legs could not be concealed. After running up and down the mountainous area for a day, even a young man may not be able to bear it, let alone It is said that Liu Bei has entered middle age.

These days, there is no criminal investigation science at all, and naturally there is no so-called detection. Liu Bei followed the Sichuan and Shu officials sent by Meng Da and wandered around Leijiazhai for a day, but found nothing. In other words, even if there are some imprints, they may not be found.

But who did this?

Liu Bei was also very confused, but after thinking for a moment, he temporarily put the question behind him and asked: "What did Gongtai... do in the camp these past two days?"

"Yesterday Gongtai came and took the camp's accounts and calculated them for a day..." Guan Yu said from the side, "Today I called the commander of the army and the army to talk one by one... hum... but in the words, There's nothing wrong with that, I just said something about being loyal to the Liu family..."

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh, and said with some annoyance: "You all blame me! I've hurt my eldest brother and my second brother!"

"Hey!" Liu Bei said, "We are all brothers, why should we complain...Did Gongtai take over the military affairs?"

Guan Yu shook his head silently and said, "That's not true..."

Liu Bei smiled, his smile was still bright, but in his eyes, there was a somewhat indescribable brilliance flowing through him, "Isn't this it... It's just a little beating and we'll wait. I'll be gone in two days... The second brother and the third brother Brother, just be patient, just be patient..." Kuai Qi represents Liu Qi's attitude, and why does Liu Qi want to beat him? Isn't it because Liu Bei looked too ugly in the early stage?

One peck and one drink, it is destiny.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is like a man who has been hungry for three years and suddenly sees delicious food. Can he bear it? After swallowing it in his stomach, he remembered that there was Liu Qi behind him, and wanted to make up for it. On the one hand, Liu Bei was not as rogue as Liu Bang after all, and on the other hand, Liu Bei was reluctant to swallow these things in his stomach. In this way, Even though Liu Qi was too narrow-minded to notice such an attitude and behavior, how could Kuai Qi, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, pretend not to notice?

After all, Kuai Qi followed Liu Qi here just to safeguard Liu Qi's interests. If she didn't say anything, wouldn't she have completely failed her mission? Therefore, it is reasonable for Kuai Qi to offer advice and suggestions to beat and restrict Liu Bei for these things that violate Kuai Qi's moral principles as Liu Qi's retainer.

No matter Liu Bei or Kuai Qi, they will not go too far and stay within their limits. Liu Bei asked Kuai Qi if he had interfered in military affairs.

"Alas..." Liu Bei looked up at the moon and sighed.

This is an obvious thing. Kuai Qi does not ask about military affairs and only checks the money and food accounts. This means that people like Liu Bei should not interfere with money, food and logistics matters, and just focus on fighting. Leave money and food to Liu Qi.

This is also a commonly used control method for generals who command armies abroad. Just like when Liu Bei was in Xinye, wasn't it the same? Liu Biao always sent some money, food, equipment, etc. at the right time...

If he were an ordinary general, that would be fine. But the question is, did Liu Bei come to Sichuan and Shu just to go from a new country where he was controlled and looked up to by others, to a Sichuan and Shu that was also controlled and looked up to?

Of course not, so what should we do?

After being silent for a long time, Liu Bei sighed lowly, waved to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said: "Tomorrow, it might as well be like this, like this..."

…………………………

For many people, Liu Zhang actually knew from the beginning that he was not a unique genius, nor could he be called a wise leader.

Liu Zhang is a person with soft ears and easily trusts others. However, if he is easily moved by a few words from others, he can naturally be moved by a few words from others. Therefore, it is common for Liu Zhang to change his orders from day to day. Therefore, in the subsequent evaluation of Liu Zhang in history, the so-called grammatical restraints, mutual support, moral governance, and threats and punishments were not carried out. The people of Shu are independent in their power, and the way of monarchs and ministers is gradually replaced by mausoleums; words such as favoring them are based on position, being humble when the position is extremely high, being kind when being obedient, and being slow when kindness is exhausted, etc., can be regarded as very pertinent.

When Liu Yan entered Shu, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still alive. Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was written in the history books, the control over these frontier officials was not relaxed, so Liu Zhang and others were left behind. Luoyang acted as a hostage, but since he was a hostage, it couldn't be a practical job. He was simply being raised by Captain Fengche. Therefore, Liu Zhang lacked the military experience to go on expeditions with his father like Sun Ce and Cao Pi. , and without Yuan Tan's experience of guarding a county in Jizhou, he was able to take charge of the entire Sichuan and Shu all of a sudden. Naturally, his hands and feet were in a hurry. This also made Liu Zhang's people have various thoughts in their hearts.

Before Liu Yan entered Shu, Yizhou was not a peaceful place. The former governors Liu Jun and Xi Jian were both greedy and promiscuous, and their affairs were messy, so that Yuanyuan was bored and complained in the wild. There were also troops from Liangzhou who entered Sichuan, destroyed three counties, and claimed to be emperor. Liu Yan was forced to dare not enter Chengdu, and he was ready to move to Mianzhu...

After entering Sichuan and Sichuan, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Liu Yan was very ruthless and killed more than ten powerful people in the state. These powerful people may have deserved their punishment, but after many years of marriage, how could they kill them all at once? Therefore, some resentment is inevitable. The root of the discord between Dongzhou and Sichuan and Shu people is actually one of the important legacies Liu Yan left to Liu Zhang.

In addition, the land of Sichuan and Shu is in chaos with religions and ethnic groups. For example, during the reign of Emperor Shun, a female from Ba County dressed as a thief, during Emperor Chong's reign, Ba County's Fu Zhi claimed to be the King of Heaven, and during the reign of Emperor Huan, Li Bo from Shu County proclaimed himself emperor, etc., which all show that Sichuan and Sichuan are relatively relatively The local people have a strong awareness of avoiding disasters and local concepts, and are very resistant to foreign regimes with "dark schemes". Although some people in Bashu choose to serve as the leader of the separatist regime due to the issue of profit and salary, there are more People are still being reserved, refusing to cooperate, or cooperating to a limited extent.

If Liu Zhang was a man of great ability and skill, like Zhuge Liang, fighting off one faction after another, and using his sword and gun to find a way out, he might even be able to make a fortune, but just because of his soft-eared and kind-hearted personality...

Naturally, he can't blame the many advisers under him, each looking for his own way out.

Pang Xi's camp stretched so huge that almost all within a radius of five miles was occupied, and it was magnificent.

Liu Yan passed away and Pang Xi was not young anymore. Naturally, he had to think about his next generation. As a counselor, Pang Xi naturally could not completely follow the same old path as Liu Yan. Therefore, when it came to clique matters, Pang Xi , when it’s time to win over and compromise, we still want to win over and compromise.

Pang Xi was naturally worried about leaving the political center of Chengdu this time, but he had to personally take charge of the defense and military affairs on the front line. Therefore, the remote control of Chengdu was accomplished with the help of Fei Shi, Li Hui and others.

Fei Shi and Li Hui are from Sichuan and Shu, but not all Sichuan and Shu people can be reused by Liu Zhangde, and not all Sichuan and Shu people are equal. Just like Fei Shi and Li Hui, they are important in literature, people's livelihood, political affairs, and military affairs. It's not too bad, but there's never been a good place to go.

Fei Shi is somewhat good, Mianzhu County Magistrate.

Listening to place names is pretty good, right?

Yes, when Liu Yan took over Yizhou, he planned to move the state's government to Mianzhu. This shows that Mianzhu was originally a good place, but why did it fall into Fei Shi's hands?

It's very simple, because a few years ago, there was a sudden fire in Mianzhu, and there are many bamboo trees in Sichuan. The fire burned for three days, and Mianzhu was burned into a piece of white ground. It has not restored even one third of its original appearance...

The moisture content of Fei Shi's Mianzhu Ling can naturally be imagined.

This is especially true for Li Hui. As a native of Jianning, he was originally regarded as a country bumpkin by people around Chengdu, so it was natural for him to be ostracized.

This time, Pang Xi naturally won over this group of people from Sichuan and Shu who had been pushed to the margins, and then promised them benefits for his own use. Fei Shi and Li Hui also hoped to make a comeback, so they hit it off and each got what they needed.

"I don't know where Anhan is. How is he doing now?" Pang Xi said slowly.

Li Huigong cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Pang, everything has been taken care of, and there will be no mistakes..."

Pang Xi nodded and said: "The opportunity for Sichuan and Sichuan falls to Liu Xuande alone. The rest are mediocre and unable to fight. If Liu Xuande can help me, you and I can sleep peacefully... This time we go to the public event, if we can If it succeeds, it will be worth all my thoughts... In this time of wandering, the loyalty of the square body... Zhang Langzhong died under the city. He was unparalleled in loyalty and loyalty. Someone has already gone to the table and appointed his son as the captain of the Polu school to show his appreciation. For his merits, Lei Nanchong rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and he should be punished by the nine tribes! This is only a small punishment, and the rest of the crimes should be treated separately!"

Li Huide moved his eyebrows and echoed, "What Mr. Pang said is absolutely true."

"Peng Yongnian was in Chengdu, is there anything unusual?" Pang Xi asked.

Li Hui cupped his hands and replied: "I didn't see anything unusual."

Pang Xi smiled coldly and said: "In the past, Peng Yongnian had no respect for his elders and spoke wantonly, so he was punished by the tongs. Although he has been pardoned, he must still have some resentment in his heart. Now Qin Zi is pardoned... Humph, these two people have always been From time to time, Deang needs to pay more attention when he returns to Chengdu this time..."

Li Hui rolled his eyes and said: "Pang Gong's intention is that the two of them... should be in harmony with each other inside and outside?"

"The Peng family is a common surname in Guanghan..." Pang Xi stroked his beard and said, "Now that Guanghan has fallen into the hands of Zhengxi... we have to guard against it..."

Li Hui frowned and said: "In this case, when a certain person arrives in Chengdu, he will inform the Lord and capture this person to eliminate future troubles!"

Pang Xi shook his head and showed an intriguing smile: "No."

Li Hui was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and said tentatively: "Pang Gong's intention is..."

"De'ang is going to Chengdu. He needs to train his troops diligently and rectify military affairs. He can't slack off for a day!" Pang Xi did not give any explanation, but changed the topic directly, "The rest of the people in Sichuan today may have their own thoughts or do nothing, but only De'ang, he is loyal to the public and has the courage to do his job... If he succeeds in this, he will be able to take up any position to shepherd the people... He should also be diligent and not let down the high expectations of the lord..."

Li Hui stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Hui Hui will live up to his lord's trust! He will also live up to his recommendation and promotion from Duke Pang!"

Pang Xi laughed and got up, then personally sent Li Hui and his men out of the camp, then mounted their horses together, and after walking slowly for two or three miles, they parted ways.

After walking a few miles, Li Hui looked back with a complicated and unspeakable expression on his face, which eventually turned into a cold expression. Even though Pang Xi seems to be very courteous now, when he was ostracized, there was no Pang Xi behind the scenes to help? Judging from the skillful way Pang Xi now displays towards Liu Bei, which is to first suppress and then win over, this may prove something...

Li Hui's eyes flashed, it doesn't matter, the current situation is just about everyone getting what they need!
