Chapter 107 Double Happiness
The news that Zhang Tianshi became a god and Zhang Lu succeeded to the throne quickly spread in Langzhong City. Early the next morning, Zhang Lu rose to the altar and burned incense in Langzhong City, and officially succeeded to the throne as the new generation of Shijun, the Taoist Master of Tianshi.
Under the altar, ghost soldiers and their families crowded the nearby blocks in a dense manner. When Zhang Lu completed the succession ceremony, they bowed together and said, "Welcome Shi Jun to open the altar and ascend to the seat."...
At the top of Langzhong City, the ghost soldiers on duty stared at the Jialing River nervously. The strange ships that cast fear shadows on the ghost soldiers appeared on the river again. However, this time they bulged their sails and were heading north with the help of the southeast wind and the sailors paddling hard.
The enemy situation was reported quickly, but Zhang Lu did not order the interception. In fact, the interception might not necessarily be intercepted. The fleet entered Hanchang and brought a small group of Wei Feng who was staying here and continued to return north.
This time, Liao Hua Weifeng's special attack troops took three days to attack seven Five Dou Midao Villages, including Hanchang and Langzhong. The mission assigned to them by Feng Yu was basically completed.
On the ship, the soldiers knew that they had completed their mission and were returning north, and were very happy. They took out their own dry food and jerky and started to chew it slowly. In the past few days, they fought one after another, and even the dry food and rice were not eaten well.
The ape soldiers greeted each other in a humming and haha, conveying food and drinking water. Their appetite was amazing. Although there were only thirty people, they specially arranged a boat to transport their rations. The rations were obviously much richer than ordinary soldiers. In addition to dry food, meat jerky, there were also many fruits and bamboo shoots.
Now ordinary human soldiers are familiar with them, and sometimes they can still gesture and say hello. These apes have no language and can only use simple pronunciation combinations to convey information. Only the battalion commander who led them can understand this information.
After a day of sailing, they returned safely to Hanzhong. The ship stayed in the Bashui River and covered it with reeds and plants. Maybe it could be used next time.
Even if these ships were stolen, it was nothing. Because apart from these Viking sailors, this special ship was of no significance to ordinary people. Ordinary shipmen could not learn to operate it and sail in special waterways. In ordinary waterways, using it is a waste of time.
...
In late spring and early summer, in the courtyard of Zhuyang Hou’s mansion, Feng Yu and his family were enjoying the beauty of the courtyard. To be more precise, they should be four, because Feng Yu was holding his newborn son in his arms and teasing him from time to time.
Cai Yan smiled and said to Feng Yu: "In a short time, this little guy will have a younger brother or younger sister."
Feng Yu said in surprise: "So quickly, do you have it again?"
Cai Yan's smile turned into a giggling laugh: "It's not that I have it again, it's that Li'er sister has it too."
Feng Yu turned his head and looked at Li'er, and said in surprise: "Li'er, is this true?" Wei Li'er covered her abdomen and nodded with a smile.
Feng Yu said happily: "Oh, this is a big happy event." He turned around and ordered the servants: "Today we will hold a family dinner and celebrate well."
At this time, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the front hall sent a message, saying that the messenger who went to Chengdu was back."
Feng Yu turned his head and said to his wife and concubine: "Two ladies, I want to go to the front hall, so I will lose my companion for a while." After that, he handed the baby who was still crying in his arms to Cai Yan.
In the study of the government office, Feng Yu met the messenger sent to Chengdu to give war letters. In that war letter, Feng Yu denounced Yizhou for violating the agreement between the two sides and repeatedly plundering Hanzhong. He said that he could only fight against each other and fight back until Yizhou gave an explanation.
"How did Liu Yan respond to you after you arrived in Chengdu?" Feng Yu asked the messenger.
The messenger replied: "Your Majesty, after arriving in Chengdu, his subordinates were arranged to live in the inn. The war letter of Jun Majesty was handed over to Liu Yan. Later, they asked their subordinates to stay in Chengdu for a few days. They said that they would reply to their subordinates in a few days."
"What happened later?"
"Later, Liu Yan personally met his subordinates, claiming that these were all his other Sima Zhang Xiu behind his back and acted on his own. Now he has corrected Zhang Xiu. I hope the Lord can understand this."
"Oh? Zhang Xiu is dead?" Feng Yu was very surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would die so easily.
"Zhang Xiu was indeed dead, but when his subordinates returned, they found out that Zhang Xiu was not executed, but died of illness. Oh... In the words of Mi Thief, he was ascended to immortality... In addition to telling his subordinates, Liu Yan also asked his subordinates to pass on a letter to Junhou."
After saying that, the messenger submitted the letter to Feng Yu. Feng Yu opened the letter and read it, and then he was convinced that Zhang Lu had replaced Zhang Xiu to control Ba County. This means that the situation in the southern part of the Hanzhong Plain will settle down. It is another thing worth celebrating for Feng Yu, and today it is a double happiness.
...
Feng Yu was happy. In Chang'an City, 800 miles away from Zhuyang, there was a man drinking a depressed wine.
This person is Du Dianhou, the general of the Central Army, Lu Bu. Now he no longer leads his troops. Dong Zhuo’s new position is the Central Court Guard. This position seems to be regarded as a confidant by Dong Zhuo, but in fact he has no soldiers and no power, he is just a bodyguard leader.
This is nothing, and he would not feel unhappy about it. What he was upset was that his Bingzhou army had now been completely dismantled and disrupted. Hundreds and thousands of people were stationed in Sanfu, Hedong, Longyou and other places, and even gathered together to drink wine on weekdays.
Now, all the troops under Dong Zhuo have insufficient food and salary, and all the troops are trying to get extra money to subsidize them.
But even the fat man with a lot of oil and water is not the turn of the Bingzhou Army general. As far as Lu Bu knows, almost all his old subordinates of the Bingzhou Army were given clear water chores. For example, Gao Shun was stationed in Shangluo, but the daily guards of Shangluo were still under the responsibility of local county soldiers.
In addition, the insufficient food and salary must be given priority to Dong Zhuo's direct Xiliang clan. The Bingzhou army received even less. The food and salary were insufficient and there was no extra money to make, so you can imagine how those old subordinates would complain.
Lu Bu's wife Yan watched her husband drink alone for a long time, and then stepped forward to drink with him.
"If you have any worries about your husband, please tell me. Even if you can't make any suggestions for your husband, you can still share your worries."
"Oh, madam, I don't understand what happened in the court. You should just play a piano to relieve your boredom."
Yan smiled and said, "Then I will present a song for my husband." After that, just as he was about to ask my servants to get the piano, a servant came to report to Lu Bu: "I reported to the general, and there was a person outside the door, saying that he was a merchant from Yizhou, so I asked to see the general."
When Lu Bu heard this, he wondered: "Businessman? What can the businessman come to me to find? I am not like Niu Fu, the businessman must ask for him."
