The chat between Zhang Cang and Liu De caused Liu De to nod from time to time. Zhang Cang's ability is still very outstanding, and Zhang Cang once served as an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although his rank was not high, he was promoted better than Bai Shen Some.

Although Liu De is strong, he also has scruples about the emotions of some subordinates, which is not a conflict.

Now that Zhang Cang has come to Weizhou, don't leave yet.

Liu De directly appointed Zhang Cang as the governor of Wuwei County, and he can take office immediately.

......

Time passed quickly, because Liu De was in Wuwei, too far away from the Central Plains, even if he was a fast horse, it would take a month to receive the news, so Liu De got the military situation now because what happened last month, the military situation has nothing to do with Liu De, It's the military relationship between Li Yun and Xiang Yu.

"Li Yun is having a hard time right now!"

Liu De thought.

Li Feng's ability is really not weak. To be able to gain a foothold under Li Yun's command, apart from being Li Yun's brother, Li Feng's tyrannical martial arts and superb commanding ability.

However, in front of Xiang Yu, Li Feng's two excellent performances were simply not enough.

Xiang Yu directly led more than a thousand riders into the formation of the Wei army and injured Li Feng. If the guards hadn't fought to get Li Feng back, the number two man in Wei would have died.

Fortunately, Li Yun arrived in time with his troops and stabilized the situation. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of Wei troops might have been beaten to Chenliu by Xiang Yu with thousands of people.

And even if Li Yun led his troops here, the situation inside would still give Li Yun quite a headache.

Xiang Yu is too helpless. Li Feng's military force is the number one in Wei Guodu, but he is not Xiang Yu's all-in-one enemy at all. In terms of commanding the army, Li Yun can't suppress Xiang Yu, if it is not relying on the defense of the city wall Well, Li Yun was no match for Xiang Yu in the wild.

Liu De also showed a serious look on his face, it seems that he should take a good look at Xiang Yu's strength, what should he do if he meets Xiang Yu!

For a self-confident and arrogant person like Xiang Yu, it would definitely be useful to directly order the general to fight, but I don't know how powerful Xiang Yu's force is, and whether the generals under his command can deal with him. !

Let him go wild!

Liu De snorted coldly, although it was not very glorious.

The current situation in Weizhou is well maintained, and Liu De doesn't need to deliberately kill chickens and monkeys. In fact, enough blood has been shed by the rich people in Weizhou, and the heads hanging on the city walls have already dried up.

Of course, there was one more important thing to deal with when Liu De left in the end.

Weizhou is sandwiched between the Tianwei Mountains and the Kunlian Mountains, and there is a small opening in the two mountain ranges in the west of Weizhou. This small opening is the only way Weizhou leads to the grasslands and even the Western Regions.

This small opening was named Zhoukou by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its most powerful, several fortresses and blockhouses were built in Zhoukou, making them an iron wall to prevent the Qiang from invading Weizhou.

But now, the western part of Weizhou has long been a paradise for the Qiang people, and all the defensive facilities in Zhoukou have been completely destroyed by the Qiang people, leaving only some ruins.

The important thing Liu De wanted to solve was to recover Zhoukou, re-establish Zhoukou Pass, and resist the Qiang invasion.

Liu De regarded Xu Huang as a brave and honest man, who made many military exploits, and worshiped him as the right leader, General Wei, and led his troops to recover Zhoukou and re-establish Zhoukou Pass.

Subsequently, Liu De returned to Peiping with his army.

Weizhou was completely handed over to Weizhou Mugao.

Under his command were Yan Keqiu, governor of Wuwei, Zhang Cang, governor of Wuwei County, Liu Yu, governor of Guchang, and Zhang Cheng, governor of Jincheng.

The generals sitting in Weizhou are Ma Teng, General of Wei on the left, General Xu Huang on the right, General Ma Chao on the left, General Li Dingguo on the left, General Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie. .

At this time, the most intense battle in the world was the war between Li Yun of Wei State in the Central Plains and Xiang Yu of Qi State. The other places were quite calm, and they all shrank, licked their wounds, and waited for the next opportunity.

Chapter 535 Chen Shuo's Death

Liu De led the army and was still on the way back to Beiping, but the Qian family in Beiping received the news from the Xuanjing Division from the far south that Yang Guogong and Yangzhou Mu Shaoqin finally failed to survive this winter. One cold night, he fell into a deep sleep and could not wake up again.

However, due to the dangerous road, the news did not come through until now, and it was not the news from the Xuanjing Division's spies in the south. The Xuanjing Division and even the Gongwei Division did not have that kind of strength to infiltrate the south.

The news reached Xuan Jingsi's ears through sea merchants, and then Xuan Jing's spies informed Qian of the news.

Zou Yan's prediction except for the flood in the great river, all other divinations were realized one by one, which made the Qian family no longer doubt Zou Yan. Zou Yan conquered the Qian family by virtue of his excellent divination skills. Dazhou, whether it is a dignitary or a commoner, has a sense of awe and even believes it.

Although Qian's status is distinguished, he is no different from ordinary people.

Originally, Mrs. Qian wanted to invite Zou Yanzai to the mansion, but the following news made Mrs. Qian fall into panic, even helpless.

Chen Shuo passed away.

Both Qian and Chen Ying were deeply saddened by Chen Shuo's death and could not manage the council. Chen Shuo was Chen Ying's grandfather, while Qian called Chen Shuo his maternal grandfather (the mother of Qian and her husband Liu Qian was Chen Shuo's daughter) .

As the elder of the two, Chen Shuo's death is definitely no less than a bolt from the blue sky for the two.

Ma Yuxuan stood up without hesitation. Although Gao Taotao wanted to compete with Ma Yuxuan, but with Qian's acquiescence, Ma Yuxuan was able to take charge of the entire Hangong Mansion, and even the whole of Beiping because of Ma Yuxuan. Trembling with a single word.

Of course, Xun Yu and other important officials of the court knew the news of Chen Shuo's death very quickly. Chen Qi, who stayed behind, drove a fast horse from the barracks into the Chen Mansion immediately, and even forgot that horses were not allowed in the streets.

Chen Shuo has a very high prestige among the officials, even in the army, especially in the army of the old Dongyu generals. Chen Shuo's death will inevitably cause some panic. After all, Chen Shuo is the grandfather of Liu De's wife. , when the first assistant.

However, it was only a small-scale panic. After all, Chen Shuo was only a courtier, and Xun Yu, as the only second assistant, was already prepared to take over under Liu De's arrangement and even with the help of Chen Shuo. The next time he is assisting the work of the first assistant, it will not have any impact on government affairs.

What's more, Chen Shuo was not Liu De. If something happened to Liu De, then anything could happen. Chen Shuo's death only represented the end of an era and would not have the slightest impact on the advancing man.

Xun Yu ordered the government officials to work normally, and immediately sent a fast horse to send a message to Liu De. Liu De was rushing back from Weizhou. After all, it was those routes, so Xun Yu could only send a few more fast horses, hoping to find Liu De's location soon.

Afterwards Xun Yu also went to the Chen Mansion.

When Liu De received the messenger's report, it had been ten days since Chen Shuo's death. Liu De also ignored the army, and directly led the guards of more than a hundred people, hurried all the way, and finally arrived in a few days Peking City.

For nearly 20 days, and it was summer, Chen Shuo's body was already stinking a little. Qian, who was finally relieved, knew that he could not drag on any longer, so he ordered Chen Shuo to be buried.

"Grandpa Chen!"

Liu De got off his horse and stumbled to Chen Shuo's tomb. Tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily. Liu De never shed tears when encountering difficult things, but today he couldn't bear it anymore.

A man does not flick his tears lightly, but he does not reach the sad point...

Liu De knelt down on the ground and wailed loudly, deeply saddened.

Chen Ying and the others beside the tombstone also couldn't help covering their faces and weeping. Chen Shuo advocated frugality, and the so-called cemetery was not luxurious. Even the burial utensils were mainly pottery and porcelain, and there was very little gold and silver. .

When Chen Shuo was seriously ill, he told Chen Qi that at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was a shortage of gold and silver, so gold and silver should not be buried with him, and all these belongings should be handed over to the court, whether it is building a city or replenishing weapons, it is useful.

This is an old man who has been thinking about Liu De until his death.

Liu De raised his head, and said to Jian Yong, the Minister standing beside him: "Mr. Chen is loyal to the country. There is a grand duke in Sheji who is posthumously named Grand Master and Marquis of Yan. Hundreds of officials immediately appraised Mr. Chen's achievements and bestowed posthumous titles on him. The Zijin Pavilion was built, Chen Gong entered the Zijin Pavilion, received incense from generation to generation, passed down through the ages, and his name will go down in history!"

"Chen Shuo's eldest son, Chen Sheng, died young, and was posthumously titled Doctor Jinzi Guanglu and Marquis of Anshu County."
