Han Dao world

Thinking about it, the Son of Heaven has not only a master like Zhao Yun, but also a great swordsman like Wang Yue, and he practices every day, and his diligence is far superior to him. How could he be inferior in martial arts.

Liu Bei stabilized his mind and put on a defensive posture.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was also not polite, as soon as his footsteps were stepped, the man jumped forward, swung the long knife in his hand, sprinkled a silver light, and slashed at Liu Bei's confidant.

Liu Bei calmed down, brandished his two swords, and fought with Liu Xie.

Chapter 821

Masters compete with each other, and you can tell who is superior by raising your hand.

After a few tricks, Liu Bei knew it in his mind.

The emperor's martial arts are beyond his imagination, not only is he proficient in swordsmanship, but also has a very fast reaction.Not to mention defeating the emperor, it is not bad if he is not defeated by the emperor.

Fazheng once said that the emperor insisted on practicing martial arts every day, and it seems that it is absolutely true.

Putting down his worries, Liu Bei also let go of his hands and feet, brandishing his double swords, and fighting with Liu Xie.

He must show his strength to reassure the emperor.

Fazheng said it well, the most important thing in conquering barbarians is not how many books you have read, but whether you are strong enough.If you can't beat your opponent on the battlefield, you can't talk about enlightenment.

The Son of Heaven emphasizes education, but is not pedantic.

Just look at how he treated the Xianbei and the Huns.

Liu Bei took it very seriously, so he was very interested in military training.This time to participate in the grand parade, the greatest hope is to visit the lecture hall and learn new methods of military training.

Listening to Fazheng said that in addition to fighting in battle, the lecture hall also fully explored small-scale combat methods to adapt to mountainous and forest warfare.

There are many mountains in Dongyi, so there will be many such battles.

Liu Bei is like a dragon, swimming around Liu Xie, his sword is like a dragon's claw, stretching and shrinking indefinitely.

Liu Xie defended with a saber, seemingly full of flaws, but repeatedly smashed Liu Bei's double swords in time, and counterattacked from time to time, forcing Liu Bei to not go all out.

Suddenly, the lily has passed.

Liu Bei was sweating all over and couldn't keep up with his breath, so he voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.Holding his swords upside down, he saluted Liu Xie deeply.

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship is pure, and he looks like a king. I feel ashamed."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, and put the knife back into its sheath. "The sword is a bit heavier, so why not take advantage of it? It should have been given to you earlier so that you can practice."

Liu Bei quickly said: "The sword is very good, I like it very much. But it is a fact that I have not practiced. I have been busy with the military recently, and I haven't practiced double swords for a long time."

"I'm afraid it's not just busy with the military, is it? I heard that the most welcome guests of the Langya advocate family are you and Fazheng. In order to attract your patronage, even the prices of Jiyue in northern Hebei have increased."

Liu Bei blushed and wanted to curse.

Not to scold the emperor, but to scold Yuan Shu.

No need to ask, this news must have been sent by Yuan Shu.As a shepherd in Youzhou, Yuan Shu has been stationed in the north of Jizhou recently in order to deal with Jizhou.

And he is also the one who enjoys it the most, and is most familiar with the market of dancing girls and music.

Liu Bei quickly calmed down, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is someone who maliciously slandered, not only against the officials and Fazheng, but also against Your Majesty's benevolent government."

"It has something to do with me too?"

"Exactly, the business of the advocates in Langya is really good recently, but it is not because of the patronage of the ministers, but because after many years of war, peace has been regained, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Besides being happy, they often invite the advocates to have fun, so the demand for the advocates is in short supply. I had to go to northern Hebei to buy dancing girls and musicians."

"Is this the reason?" Liu Xie was skeptical.

"Besides, there is another important reason. After many years of war, the household registration was at a loss, especially for children. Now that Langya is stable, many families want to renew their strings, take concubines, and have more children. The women in northern Hebei are strong in body and skin Fair, temperamental and tough, the most popular."

"Is such a woman affordable for ordinary people?"

Liu Bei laughed twice. "Your Majesty, in normal times, ordinary people really can't afford it. Now that the war in Jizhou has not stopped, coupled with the tyranny of the officials, the people's livelihood is hard, and people are as cheap as chickens, there are more people who can afford it."

Liu Xie glanced at Liu Bei, smiled and said nothing.

Wash your hands and face, sit down together, and have breakfast together.Liu Xie listened to Liu Bei's report and asked about the battle with Yuan Xi.

Liu Bei answered one by one.

This time he personally led his troops to Luoyang to participate in the parade, and the command was handed over to Zhang Fei, Chen Deng, Mi Fang and others. Fazheng, as a military adviser, took charge of the overall situation.

Considering that he will move to Liaodong after the pacification of Jizhou, Liu Bei hopes that the imperial court will allocate some war horses to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.He originally had some miscellaneous cavalry, but over the years, the war horses were worn out and could not be replenished, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry continued to decline.

Liu Xie promised that Youzhou would provide some horses after Liu Bei entered the Jizhou battlefield.

After talking about government affairs, Liu Xie asked Mi Zhu about the sea trade route.

As a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, one of the keys to Mi Zhu's rise was the special location of Qu County.

Qu County is not only one of the few seaports in the Central Plains, but also the easternmost end of the east-west trunk road that traverses the empire.As early as when Qin unified the world, Qu County became the east gate of Daqin.

With the advantages of both sea and land, coupled with Mi Zhu's long sleeves and good dancing skills, it is logical to develop.

But in this dynasty, Confucian classics are emphasized, the family has already become big, and Mi Zhu has no wealth, but it is not easy to become an official.

If Tao Qian didn't get along well with the local big clan, Mi Zhu didn't know when he would have the chance to become an official.Now he has seized the opportunity to fully support Liu Bei and strengthen Pengcheng. Not only has he become Liu Bei's confidant, but he has also become the emperor's guest.

He was very excited and knew everything.

There have always been sea trade routes, from Jiaozhou in the south to Youzhou in the north.It's just that the sea is very windy and there is a danger of capsizing, so there are not many journeys by sea.

For example, in the section from Qu County to the Yangtze River, most people will choose to take Hangou.

However, the part south of the Yangtze River has the difference between Yuzhang and Jingzhou, and there are not many people who take the sea route.

Liu Xie listened carefully and ordered someone to make a record.

He told Mi Zhu that the imperial court planned to make a general plan for the world's commercial routes, to improve efficiency as much as possible and reduce unnecessary losses.The water and land trade route is the key point, and a detailed investigation is required.

It is only one aspect that he personally consulted Mi Zhu. The teachers and students of Taixue Business School will be responsible for the more important work. In the future, someone will have a systematic discussion with Mi Zhu.

It would be even better if Mi Zhu is willing to be a teacher in the business school, even if it is a part-time job.

Mi Zhu was overjoyed.

For him, being able to enter the Taixue as a teacher is more face-saving than being an official.

Liu Bei thought so too.

He took Mizhu's younger sister as his concubine, and was inevitably ridiculed for taking a fancy to the Mi family's money.Even his wife Mao was a little disdainful.Now that he wants to help Mi Shi as a flat wife, he will definitely encounter a lot of criticism.

If Mi Zhu can become a teacher of Taixue, no matter which school he is from, he can be regarded as having truly entered the class of scholar-officials, which can improve his status.

"Your Majesty, the four peoples are all scholars, which can be compared with the master's education." Liu Bei said with emotion: "The difference between those who have read books and those who have not read books is really big. I regret it now. Study hard, take a lot of detours, and even fight with blood and courage. Since Fazheng was ordered to assist the minister's military, the minister has a little knowledge of the way to use troops."

Liu Xie smiled. "You really think so?"

"In front of Your Majesty, how dare I speak falsely," Liu Bei said seriously.

Liu Xie nodded. "Forty is not confused, it is not too late for you to have such a realization. What is even more rare is that you can self-examine your shortcomings at the age of [-], which is much better than many people."

He paused, and then said: "I can rest assured that I will hand over Dongfang to you."

With a sore nose, Liu Bei got up from the table and fell to the ground.

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Chapter 822

Liu Xie was very satisfied with Liu Bei's performance.

Before that, he always felt that the older a person is, the more solidified his thoughts are, and he tends to be self-righteous.Getting them to change their existing concepts is harder than climbing a mountain.

Therefore, he has always focused on young people, and is not willing to waste energy on middle-aged and elderly ministers.Instead of being angry, it is better to wait patiently for them to exit the stage.

Governing a country is never something that can be achieved overnight. Even the best policies will take effect and see results, at least ten years later.

He was only twenty, so he had enough time to spend with them.

Liu Bei was in his forties, but he was able to give up his inherent experience and embrace the New Deal without any psychological burden, which is very rare.

This also made him have higher expectations of Liu Bei.

With Liu Bei's current physical fitness, he can fight for at least another 20 years, and there is no problem in handling the three Koreas.If it goes well, there may even be a chance to cross that shallow strait and knock on the door of the Wa country in advance.

After 20 years, let's see if his son can get up.

After Liu Xie talked with Liu Bei in detail, he agreed to Liu Bei's request and asked him to contact Yu Fan of the Jiangwu Hall Jijiu to learn about some of the latest research results in mountain warfare and jungle warfare.

Taking advantage of Liu Xie's good mood, Liu Bei talked about Liu Qi.

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Bei that Liu Biao had already set off and was on his way to Luoyang.How to arrange Liu Qi can wait until Liu Biao sees him.

But one thing is certain, whether Liu Qi wants to be an official in the court or go out with Liu Bei, the court has no objection, let alone set up obstacles against him.

No need.

After the turmoil, the imperial court wanted to recruit all kinds of talents and select talents in an eclectic manner. Even the barbarians would choose according to their own circumstances. How could the clan be excluded.

Even if Liu Biao has some problems, after all, he has not reached the point of imprisoning his children.

Liu Bei had no doubts about this.

At most, Liu Biao has different ambitions and some acts of arrogance. Compared with Yuan Shao who directly questioned the blood of the emperor, deliberately abolished the establishment, and even wanted to change the fate of the Han family, that was much better.

Yuan Shao was able to save his life, and it didn't affect Yuan Tan's official career, so Liu Biao and his son had nothing to worry about.

It was his own incompetence that could not be selected for Sanqi, not the imperial court's restrictions.

Liu Bei bowed again, saying that he would tell Liu Qi to let him wait with peace of mind.

-

A few days later, Liu Biao arrived in Luoyang.

After Liu Qi received the news, he rushed to the south of the city to meet him.

According to Liu Bei's report, knowing that the imperial court had no intention of targeting him, Liu Qi felt much more relaxed in the past two days.When he saw Liu Biao, he was full of smiles, talking happily, and promised to take his younger brothers Liu Cong and Liu Xiu to visit Luoyang City.

Seeing her son in a good mood, Chen was very happy, but Liu Biao was a little annoyed and couldn't help choking him.

"The grand parade is coming soon, why didn't you train in the battalion?"

Liu Qi smiled. "No matter how well the Jingzhou soldiers are trained, what does it matter to me? In this case, it is better to hand it over to Kuai Yidu, and I will be free."

"You are really carefree." Liu Biao also felt shameless, stopped discussing this topic, and asked Liu Qi what he had seen and heard in Luoyang in the past two days.

Knowing that Yuan Shao was recuperating in Luoyang and hadn't seen him yet, Liu Biao's heart moved.

"Is he really sick or pretending to be sick?"

"It should be a real illness. I heard from Yuan Xiansi that he vomited blood several times."

Liu Biao sneered. "He vomited blood a few times and still didn't die, what can he not let go of?"

Liu Qi was a little surprised.

He always thought that Liu Biao and Yuan Shao were both party members, and they served together in He Jin's General's Mansion, they were like-minded friends.Why did Liu Biao have this attitude when he heard that Yuan Shao was ill?

Liu Biao thought for a while and said, "Let's go, I'll go see him."

-

Yuan Shao opened his eyes, looked at Liu Biao who came to him, bent down to look at him, and squeezed out a smile.

"Jing Sheng, are you safe?"

Liu Biao nodded slightly, and sat down on the mat brought by the waiter. "I'm fine. But you, it's really surprising that you are so sick. At first, you were suffering from a heart attack, right?"

Yuan Shao was stunned, and stared at Liu Biao in a daze.

Liu Biao chuckled, "I heard that there are good doctors in the imperial medical department, and Hua Tuo, who is famous in Shandong, is one of them. Even he can't cure your illness, only heart disease."

Yuan Shao's face darkened, and his voice became gloomy. "So, Jing Sheng came from Xiangyang to cure my heart disease?"

Liu Biao nodded. "Ten years later, the old friend withered, and now I am the only one who can cure your heart disease."

"Then it's time to experience Jing Sheng's medical skills."

Liu Biao bent his fingers and said a few names. "He Boqiu, Han Wenjie, Wang Zishi, Zhang Mengzhuo, Zang Ziyuan..."

Every time Liu Biao said a name, Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched involuntarily, and his originally sharp eyes became timid, and he dared not look at Liu Biao again.

These were all his close friends, but now they are either separated by yin and yang, or turned against each other.
