Chapter 327: Ascend to the throne.
Chapter 327: Ascend to the throne.
Outside Chengdu,
About a hundred riders were stationed outside the city.
They came from the north, and because it was Zhang Yide and he only brought a hundred or so cavalry, no one stopped them.
Just send scouts to Chengdu to deliver the message.
However, Zhang Yide, carrying the imperial edict, traveled day and night with more than a hundred riders, and hurried on his way so hard that Zhang Yide and his cavalry almost arrived in Chengdu at the same time as the scouts.
"Wide!"
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the city. It was Liu Xuande riding a horse and leading a group of people.
There is the current Crown Prince Liu Feng,
The first strategist is Fa Zheng.
There is also Liu Xuande’s newly adopted son, the new barbarian king of Nanzhong, Meng Huo.
At last,
There is another person,
He rode on the same horse with Liu Xuande, who was held in Liu Xuande's arms. He looked to be about ten years old, a little boy who was almost grown up.
Nowadays, no one calls him A Dou anymore, everyone calls him Young Master Liu Chan.
Liu Xuande and the others stopped their horses outside the city. He hurriedly urged Adou in his arms: "Hurry up, why don't you go and pay your respects to your third uncle?"
Liu Chan got off his horse, walked over in two or three steps, and knelt down: "Adou greets Third Uncle. Third Uncle, I haven't seen you and Second Uncle for a long time. Adou misses you very much."
Liu Feng also came over with a sword in hand and knelt on one knee: "Meet Third Uncle."
Meng Huo hesitated on his horse. Should he go down and pay a visit to his third uncle who almost killed him last time?
After all, he is a famous general in the world...
Extremely thick thighs.
But when he thought of what happened at Jianmen Pass, Meng Huo became hesitant and didn't dare to move forward.
Zhang Yide just glanced at Liu Chan and finally stopped at Liu Feng: "Feng'er has also grown up."
"I heard that you are helping to take care of many things in Shu, which is great..."
"Your brother, Awu, was like this back then, but it's a pity that my elder brother was reluctant to give up the position of Crown Prince."
"After what happened to Ah Wu, Big Brother finally figured it out..."
Just a few words,
It evoked endless thoughts.
Ta da~
Zhang Fei rode his horse forward a few steps and came to Liu Bei: "Brother, you have aged a lot."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yide is still strong as always. You must stay for a few days. Let's drink a few cups together."
"Brother, I can't stay any longer." Zhang Yide sighed, and then said, "But we brothers will have plenty of time to get together in the future. There are also my second brother, Zilong and the others..."
Saying,
Zhang Yide pulled out a cloth bag from his pocket, took out the bamboo slips, and handed them over: "Brother, I'm here to tell you the imperial edict."
Liu Xuande heard the imperial edict,
He quickly stretched out his hands and took it respectfully.
After checking the ink, he confirmed that it was the imperial edict of Emperor Liu Xie...
It was Zhuge Liang who delivered a message to him some time ago.
Now the Emperor's letter has arrived...
Liu Xuande was not a fool. After years of fighting, his intuition told him that something big was about to happen, or perhaps it had already happened, but he was in a remote area of Bashu and had not had time to receive the news.
"Third brother."
Liu Xuande suddenly raised his head and asked: "How is the war in the Central Plains going?"
What big things can happen in the world today?
Of course, it was the war going on in the Central Plains.
Before this, Kong Ming had sent him a message, asking him not to oppose Liu Wu and asking him to consider the Han Dynasty.
Now the Emperor's letter has arrived...
Just now, Zhang Yide said that there would be plenty of time to get together in the future, and there would also be Yunchang, Zilong and others...
Could it be that in the decisive battle in the Central Plains, Liu Wu was at a disadvantage?
After all, Cao Mengdexiong controlled four states in the Central Plains and three states in Hebei, and had been operating there for a long time.
His strength is already stronger than Liu Wu, not to mention that Liu Wu is playing away.
That must be it...
As Liu Xuande looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, he was already certain that Liu Wu was no match for Cao Mengde. That's why the emperor sent him a letter, asking him to lead the troops from Bashu north to support Liu Wu and fight against Cao Cao together!
That should be it...
Otherwise, how could Zhang Yide say that there would be plenty of time to get together in the future, including Yunchang, Zilong and others?
"Big brother."
Looking at Liu Bei's face, Zhang Yide found it difficult to say: "Let's go to Xuchang." Liu Bei: "Why, the war in the Central Plains..."
Zhang Yide: "The war in the Central Plains is over."
Liu Bei was stunned.
The war in Central Plains has ended...
This……
Could it be?
Before he could react, he heard Zhang Yide say, "The emperor appointed Awu as the crown prince."
"He is the crown prince now."
"The coronation ceremony is being prepared. The throne will be passed on soon. The Han Dynasty will welcome a new ruler..."
Speaking of which,
Zhang Yide smiled and said, "Brother, I am also the emperor's uncle."
Snapped! ~
The emperor's handwriting in his hand fell to the ground...
Liu Xuande sat motionless on his horse, completely stunned...
Liu Feng on the ground had a frozen expression on his face.
Liu Chan opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with shock: "He, he, he is going to be the emperor?"
Zhang Yide turned his horse around,
He left with more than a hundred riders...
Looking at Zhang Yide's receding back, his last words kept lingering in Liu Bei's ears...
"Brother, I am also the emperor's uncle."
"Big brother..."
"I am also... the emperor's uncle..."
He felt dizzy and everything in front of his eyes went completely dark. Liu Bei and Liu Xuande fell off their horses in a daze.
……
……
The north bank of the river.
Xiling!
This is the power center of Liu Wu’s forces.
It was also the first city captured by Liu Wu after his departure.
Cao Mengde personally led the expedition.
Liu Xuande also came to fight
In order to defend this small city, we have paid too much...
Several large states, spanning thousands of miles, the appointment and removal of officials, tax collection, troop mobilization, military training, food and fodder, etc., all aspects of coordination and consideration, etc.
Over the years, countless instructions have been issued from here.
However, at this time,
The city of Xiling was almost emptied.
Large ships were docked at the pier, with boxes of bamboo slips being carried up the dock.
Mi Zhu, who was in charge of finance, was directing: "Be gentle, be gentle, the accounts in there are messed up, even ten of you won't be enough to cut them."
"Move all the treasury silver to the ships in the middle!"
"Not enough manpower, add some more..."
They were busy until late at night before they finally loaded all the items onto the ship.
No more waiting,
Thousands of civil servants boarded the ship overnight...
At this time, a navy arrived from Jiangling, with about 300 warships and around 5,000 people.
They are here to protect.
"Set sail!~"
Someone shouted loudly on the main battleship,
The canvas on the big ship began to rise, the evening breeze blew up the sails, and the fleet began to move.
On the deck, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan stood with their hands behind their backs, looking at both sides of the river. At this moment, they were full of vigor and vitality. They looked at Mi Zhu and said, "Brother Zizhong, we have to hurry up."
"No matter what, we must arrive before the lord ascends the throne!"
"I've been thinking about the position of the Three Dukes these days. I'm going crazy..."
"It's too late. I'm afraid I can only choose Jiuqing..."
Once upon a time, with the help of competition from all parties, the newly born Xiling Group became a local lord and was able to go public through a backdoor listing.
Today, relying on its enterprising spirit and pioneering innovation, it has successfully monopolized more than two-thirds of the market in Dahan and is finally on the verge of taking the top spot.
