A few days later, on a sunny morning, Zhou Mo, as the emperor's envoy, set out from Chengdu with a large amount of food, wine, money, and silk to reward the soldiers of Huang Yuanbu in Hanjia County.

Let’s go to Jiajun.

Among the people accompanying them, in addition to Zhou Mo's generals and relevant officials from Chengdu, there were several cars of people who were very special. They were all women and children, and they were the family members of the high-ranking generals in the Huang Yuan Dynasty who stayed in Chengdu.

According to unwritten conventions, the superiors of generals, lieutenants, and other mid-level and senior officers who are leading troops abroad will definitely arrange for their families to be relocated to Chengdu. On the surface, this is to show sympathy for their families and to be a favor. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just hostages.

To prevent the troops from having second thoughts outside. If their family members are in the hands of the imperial court, at least they will be scrupulous about them.

When Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered but then rebelled. Later, Cao Cao summed up his experience and lessons and said that the root cause of the rebellion was not that he slept with someone else's sister-in-law, but because he did not take care of Zhang Xiu's generals' families in time.

Taken hostage.

Therefore, sending the family members to the place where the soldiers are stationed and allowing them to reunite as a family for a short time has become a grace among graces.

Huang Yuan himself has a wife and a son in Chengdu, so he also went with him this time.

When he first heard the name of Huang Yuan's son, Zhou Mo was really shocked.

This guy’s name is actually Huang Hao!

That's right, he was Liu Chan's most favored eunuch, who brought trouble to the imperial court, squeezed out Jiang Wei, and ultimately indirectly led to the demise of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Now he is just a child of seven or eight years old, looking innocent and innocent, hiding in his mother's arms and looking around.

He had no way of knowing that in history, he would soon be castrated and sent to the palace because his father's rebellion was defeated.

"I hope my trip will go smoothly. I can fool your father into being comfortable and stop thinking about rebellion. Your kid can also change his destiny and avoid an unnecessary disaster." Zhou Mo thought.

After traveling along the southwest official road for several days, the convoy entered the mountainous area. After another day's journey, it finally arrived at Hanjia County on the banks of the Qingyi River, where the county seat of Hanjia County is located and where Huang Yuan's headquarters is located.

Hanjia County is located in the foothills where the Chengdu Plain and the Southwest Snow Mountains meet. It is also the intersection of the different living habits of the Han people and the Nanman people.

To the northeast of Hanjia County, there are mainly plain terrains, where Han Chinese villages gather, and they mainly live a farming life. To the southwest of Hanjia County, there are mountains and hills that occupy most of the entire Hanjia County, and they are mainly nomadic people.

Various tribes of the Southern Barbarian Qiang people.

The motorcade arrived at the gate of Hanjia City, but something unexpected happened.

I saw the Han flags at the top of the city flapping in the wind, and the autumn wind swept by, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground. It was desolate and deserted. The city gate was tightly closed, and not even one person came out to greet anyone.

No, Huang Yuan should have already known about his upcoming arrival.

Liu Bei is still alive and well, he can't possibly rebel now, right?

Zhou Mo frowned, clapped his horse and walked forward to the city.

"I am your Majesty's special envoy Zhou Mo. By your Majesty's order, I am here to express my condolences to all the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Please open the door quickly and welcome us."

A huge head with beards poked out from the top of the city.

"I am Huang Yuan." Huang Yuandao, "Are you from Chengdu or Yong'an?"

"I am His Majesty's special envoy, coming from Yong'an." Zhou Mo pointed behind him again, "These officials are from Chengdu."

"Your Majesty's special envoy, I will naturally welcome you. However, except for the family members of the officers and soldiers in the city, no one coming from Chengdu is allowed to enter the city. You can go back to where you came from."

"What does Huang Taishou mean by this?"

"It's not interesting, it's just that our Hanjia city is small and dilapidated, and I'm afraid that I might wrong the adults from Chengdu."

Seeing Huang Yuan's resolute attitude, Zhou Mo had no choice but to order officials from Chengdu to temporarily station themselves in a small town twenty miles outside the city.

The officials worked hard all the way, without even having a sip of tea, and even being rejected. They couldn't help cursing, and they all said that they would complain to the prime minister when they got back, so that Huang Yuan could not eat and walk around.

After all the officials from Chengdu turned around and returned, Huang Yuan gave an order and the city gate creaked open. A sturdy and majestic cavalry team filed out of the city gate and lined up on both sides to clear the way for Zhou Mo, the special envoy.

.

Zhou Mo rode alone and led the way, followed by hundreds of his troops, as well as the families of the officers and soldiers in the city, slowly entering Hanjia County.

He felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling like a wolf was walking into a tiger's mouth.

After everyone entered the city, Huang Yuan ordered people to quickly close the city gate, then came down from the city gate tower and trotted all the way to Zhou Mo.

"Haha, Special Envoy Zhou has worked hard all the way. Come, I will lead the horse for you."

Seeing Huang Yuan's completely different attitude before and after, Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Prefect Huang really knows how to love and hate."

"Haha." Huang Yuan smiled, "The people from Chengdu are all Zhuge Liang's people and are not worthy of trust. Special Envoy Zhou came from His Majesty Yong'an and has nothing to do with the people in Chengdu and can be trusted."

Zhou Mo said: "Before leaving, His Majesty told me personally that Huang Yuan was my loyal minister and had made great contributions to the country. He also told me the story of the Battle of Dingjun Mountain. When we met today, Huang Yuan was really only interested in Your Majesty.

So loyal."

"Hahaha." Speaking of the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Huang Yuan laughed, "When my uncle killed Xiahou Yuan, I followed him to protect him. That old boy Xiahou wanted to run away, but was shot by his uncle with an arrow.

My heart died on the spot."

As he spoke, Huang Yuan's smile suddenly faded: "It's just that later on, His Majesty called him the King of Hanzhong, and when talking about his contribution to the Battle of Hanzhong, he wanted to make my uncle a post-general, and give him the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, ranking him with Guan, Zhang, and Ma.

.Then Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up to oppose him even though he had not accomplished anything. The reason was that he was afraid that Guan Yu would be unhappy? Do you think it’s ridiculous?”

"If His Majesty hadn't been wise and insisted on being granted the title, my uncle's post as general would have been almost ruined by Zhuge Liang. My uncle is loyal and loyal. Although he is unhappy, he does not care about him. I will always remember it."

Zhou Mo listened to Huang Yuan's complaints while recalling history. There was indeed such a record. Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei, saying that Huang Zhong's reputation was not qualified, and Guan Yu had an arrogant personality and had not seen Huang Zhong in person.

Therefore, Huang Zhong cannot be accepted to be listed with him, so I hope Liu Bei can consider it carefully.

When people talk about this period of history, they often focus on how smart Zhuge Liang was and how he anticipated Guan Yu's reaction. But they never thought that behind this story, there was a secretly sad Huang Zhong and his

Angry nephew.

Liu Bei became king of Hanzhong four years ago. It seems that the feud between Huang Yuan and Zhuge Liang was already forged at that time.

"Daddy." Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the carriage behind.

Zhou Mo looked back and saw that it was Huang Hao who saw his father in front of him and naturally screamed.

"Daddy is talking to adults, don't dare to shout." Huang Hao's mother, Meng, hurriedly educated her son.

"It's okay." Zhou Mo said with a smile, "Prefect Huang, your son can't wait to see you."
