Chapter 211 Arrangements by All Parties

After learning about the situation of Wu's daughter, Xu Shu immediately dismounted.

He also gave Liu Bei a cheering look and took Kong Ming to leave the city.

Wu's daughter smiled happily, carefully wiped the mud off Liu Bei's body, and asked curiously:

"This gentleman looks quite unfamiliar, but is he the assistant of Lord Xuande in Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei was embarrassed by Wu's daughter's care, but when he heard about Xu Shu, his expression changed immediately.

He immediately talked about the time in Jingzhou before the Battle of Chibi.

Although it was difficult to show his ambition at that time, he already had Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang under his command.

Unexpectedly, the three of them met for only one year before the accident, and now they are reunited after four years.

Wu's daughter smiled gently and quietly, while carefully tidying up Liu Bei's clothes, she listened quietly.

Xu Shu looked back from a distance, then turned around and patted Kong Ming on the shoulder:

"Thanks to Zhuge Wuhou, the lord is now very different from being trapped in Jingzhou!"

Kong Ming was helpless: "Why did Yuan Zhi play such a trick on me?"

Xu Shu laughed, put his arm around Kong Ming's shoulder and said with a smile:

"I am sincere!"

"His name is known throughout the ages, and his achievements are known throughout the ages. He is a role model for Han officials."

"His name is recorded in history, and only his name remains. Who wouldn't envy him?"

Xu Shu has always been straightforward, and his feelings for Kong Ming are written on his face.

Admire his name, sigh at his talent, cherish his life, and pity his luck.

Kong Ming was also moved. At the beginning, the friendship of Nanyang was not only because of his talent and reputation, but also because they had similar tastes.

Xu Shu was even more open-minded, and he was loyal but not afraid of his life. It was lucky to be able to make friends with him.

Therefore, Kong Ming said with great enthusiasm:

"Now that Yuan Zhi has escaped, it's time to find a good match."

Xu Shu immediately turned around and laughed:

"This Chengdu city has a unique flavor."

Maybe it's because Xudu has been depressed for too long.

Or maybe it's because there are too many new things under Liu Bei's rule now.

Perhaps it's because the people under Liu Bei's rule make Xu Shu both nostalgic and unfamiliar.

In short, Xu Shu is very curious about everything now.

Kong Ming also smiled, and immediately led the way in front, introducing this Chengdu, which can only be regarded as a nascent city now, to Xu Shu.

Among the locals in Yizhou, Zhang Song is the most concerned.

In his spare time, he goes to Xiao Taixue to teach these children in Yizhou, and when he is busy, he simply settles down in the main hall of the government office to work.

When writing official documents here, Zhang Song will occasionally look up at the sky.

Although half a year has passed, Zhang Song still feels like he is in a dream now.

At this time last year, in this government office, he watched Liu Zhang, who didn't listen to others, tasting fine wine and watching dancers, not paying attention to the situation in the world, just trying to spend his days in a trance.

At this time this year, still in this government office, he watched the light curtain unfold and said that the future generations would know the auspiciousness of the millennium, and hear the eternal situation, and would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the great cause.

In less than a year, whether it was him, Zhang Song, the entire Yizhou, or the people and the big families, their fates were completely different.

While sealing the official document urging the planting of sugarcane in his hand, Zhang Song shook his head and lamented the impermanence of fate.

Then he saw the military advisor Zhuge yawning in.

Another person who came in with him was dressed in plain clothes and carrying a sword, with a smile on his lips and a tall figure, a little tired from the dust, but could not hide his lonely and proud character.

Zhang Song has been in charge of official affairs recently, so he immediately matched the names of the people sent from Jingzhou.

So he immediately jumped up. For Zhang Song, Liu Bei was the greatest benefactor, and Xu Shu in front of him was like-minded with his lord when he was in trouble. Now he came from the north, which made him more worthy of Zhang Song's respect.

Xu Shu simply saluted, then looked at Zhang Song and said with a smile:

"I heard that Zhang Ziqiao of Yizhou has a short body but a great ambition. Today I see that he is indeed extraordinary."

Zhang Song felt a little pain in his heart, but when he looked up and saw Xu Shu's frank eyes, he understood that this was a very upright person.

So his anger disappeared, and he took the initiative to lead Xu Shu to sit down.

Xu Shu looked at the pile of documents on Zhang Song's desk curiously, and said with a smile:

"Just now Kong Ming told me that if it weren't for Zhang Song's help, how could he and the lord be so relaxed?"

Zhang Song said he didn't dare, but he was more and more happy in his heart.

"Yuan Zhi just came from the north, what do you think Cao thief will do?"

Kong Ming asked directly.

Xu Shu had obviously thought about this long ago, and said calmly:

"Cao will definitely attack Jingxiang."

Kong Ming sighed and nodded:

"It coincides with what I and Shi Yuan have decided."

The reason is simple. It doesn't matter who occupies Hanzhong, but it's absolutely not okay if someone with the surname Liu occupies it, especially Liu Bei.

With Cao's ambitions, he would not sit back and watch Liu Bei grow stronger, and the battlefields he could choose were nothing more than Hanzhong and Jingxiang.

Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Jingxiang has a wide terrain.

The people's livelihood in Guanzhong is declining, and if they enter Hanzhong, they even need to transfer food and grass from Henan.

Jingxiang is connected to Xudu, and if they advance, they can basically have no logistical worries.

So no matter how the battle will end, the first frontal battle must be launched in Jingxiang.

Kong Ming listened attentively to Xu Shu's talk, and finally clapped his hands in praise:

"Yuan Zhi's analysis of the military situation is even better than before, and he can be said to be as clear as seeing through fire."

Xu Shu smiled and said indifferently:

"So, after seeing the light curtain, I will return to Jingzhou as soon as I see it."

"Why does Yuan Zhi want to leave as soon as he arrives?"

Liu Bei hurried in, and as soon as he entered the government office, he heard Xu Shu's words and was immediately shocked.

Xu Shu comforted him:

"If you want to achieve the master's plan, how can you live in peace?"

"But whether it is Yizhou or Hanzhong Guanzhong, I don't understand the geography."

"I am familiar with Jingzhou. Now Jiangling is prosperous in commerce and Gong'an is thriving. I hope to keep the enemy out of Jiangling for my lord."

Liu Bei was silent. He certainly understood this truth, but he was still reluctant to leave.

Seeing the atmosphere was a little dull, Xu Shu blinked and asked mischievously:

"I wonder when I can have the lord's wedding?"

"It was only when Kong Ming told me that I missed the lord and Madam Sun's wedding. What a pity!"

Liu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it temporarily diluted the sadness that had just risen.

Kong Ming knew that after Chengdu got on the right track, he would have to show his sword to Nanzhong. Hanzhong was still unresolved and could not do without people.

As for Jingzhou, his original plan was to let Fa Xiaozhi control Hanzhong alone and let Shi Yuan, who was more familiar with Jingzhou, go back to help Yunchang.

But since Yuan Zhi was back, Shi Yuan would be spared the pain of running around.

After talking a little, Xu Shu suddenly remembered something that his lord was very entangled about.

"The Lu Xun that the lord is very concerned about should be Lu Yi of the Jiangdong Lu family."

Liu Bei's eyes widened immediately: "There is no such person as Lu Xun?"

Although he had guessed it long ago, Liu Bei did not understand how Xu Shu concluded it, and threw out the previous question:

"A big surname in Jiangdong, neither avoiding taboos nor avoiding disasters, why change the name?"

"Given the name."

Xu Shu spit out two words:

"I heard in Xudu that Cheng Li dreamed of climbing Mount Tai and holding the sun, so the thief Cao added the sun to Li, so he changed his name."

Liu Bei immediately patted his head in regret. He had been in power for too short a time, and coupled with his previous experience as a knight-errant, he was involved in changing his name. Liu Bei's first reaction was to avoid disaster.

And now it seems that Xun's name has Sun, which is indeed more like a kind of honor.

Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, Xu Shu comforted him:

"Now that Lu Su is still alive and Lu Meng is still favored, how can Lu Yi have a foothold?"

After regretting, Liu Bei found that his thoughts on this were surprisingly weak.

What is there to fear for those who live in aristocratic families?

Now, the young and the crouching dragons have gathered under his tent, and Yuan Zhi and Xiao Zhi are both here.

Liu Bei even wanted to have a good fight with these aristocratic families that rose up by absorbing the blood of the Han Empire.

The warning of the light curtain about the disaster of the aristocratic families should not be forgotten for a moment.

Rather than leaving the disaster for hundreds of years, it is better to wipe it out with one's own hands!

After chatting in the main hall of the government office, Liu Bei excitedly led Xu Shu to pick a place for him to live in Chengdu.

And it seemed that they were going to talk all night.

Kong Ming understood it, after all, Yuan Zhi's return was of great significance to the lord.

Kong Ming went to find Zhang the magic doctor.

...

Li Shimin originally planned to summon Sun Simiao directly.

But thinking about the gossip about Yan Liben in later generations, although it was aggrieved, it at least explained one thing.

Those people in the Tang Dynasty who passed down their skills to the world may not be worse than Li Shimin in reputation.

In this case, the Tang emperor was relaxed:

Whether it was painting, poetry, literature or medicine, the prosperity of these needed a prosperous era as a foundation.

In this case, what was there to worry about? Let's go to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Of course, part of the reason was that he didn't want to see the girl surnamed Wu summoned into the palace by Guanyinbi.

When he thought that she was only five years old and would be his concubine in the future, the Tang emperor felt something was wrong and had a headache.

So, for the first time after the Zhenguan era, the Tang emperor personally visited the Imperial Medical Bureau.

This can be said to be a very novel thing. After all, everyone knows that the emperor is only thirty years old now, which is the age of dragons and tigers.

It can be said that the diseases they can cure, your majesty will hardly get them.

And they can't cure your majesty's chronic diseases.

In addition, he was frightened by the semi-public explosive secret of Xuanwu Gate and Jie Li Khan who had just been presented to the Imperial Temple.

Officials like the Imperial Medical Bureau, who were neither high nor low in rank, had particularly complicated feelings towards their Majesty.

In the Tang Dynasty, people knelt but did not kneel, so Li Shimin's stroll seemed particularly casual.

The Imperial Medical Officer who came here could guess why His Majesty came here after a little thought.

Sun Simiao.

The Imperial Medical Bureau was not convinced by this Medicine King at first. After all, His Majesty did not ask them but summoned civilian doctors, which was a denial of their ability.

But after Sun Simiao entered the Imperial Medical Bureau, he easily settled the filth with his solid professionalism.

Now all the big and small people in the Imperial Medical Bureau are here to welcome him, but only Medicine King Sun is not seen, which makes the Imperial Medical Officer feel uneasy.

However, Li Shimin did not care at all. After telling everyone to do as they please, he went straight to find Medicine King Sun.

"Your Majesty's illness has been alleviated, why bother to summon me?" This was the first sentence Sun Simiao said when he saw Li Shimin.

Rubbing his head, Li Shimin knew that this was not a lie. In the past six months, his diet has been light, with fish accounting for the majority.

Although the taste is bland, he can feel that the burden on his body is indeed much lighter.

"The King of Medicine will not be confused. Where did I get the "Five Organs Diagram" from?" Li Shimin said in a relaxed tone.

"Your Majesty, just call me by my name, don't call me the King of Medicine." Sun Simiao declined:

"The "Five Organs Diagram" has made great contributions to the ages. I came here to thank Your Majesty. After thanking you, I will return home."

Li Shimin nodded, not surprised, and changed his words:

"What if I tell you that this picture comes from hundreds of years later?"

Tomorrow will be a new one.
