Now, back to Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. After hearing Zhao Zhong's words, he had a bad impression of him, the First Prince Liu Zheng.
However, after hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Liu Hong heaved a sigh of relief.
The First Prince Liu Zheng had a bad reputation previously and did not look like a ruler. If he were to take control of the army, he would not be able to cause any big waves. He could also assist the youngest son, Liu Xie!
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, began to have an idea. Should he let the First Prince, Liu Zheng, train himself so that he could wield military power in the future and resist the Great General, He Jin?
Once this idea started to form, it could not be stopped!
……
At this moment, in the First Prince Liu Zheng's residence!
Liu Zheng was training his carrier pigeon!
……
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the court and the people were obsessed with the breeding and management of various pigeons, but they had not used carrier pigeons to transmit messages on a large scale.
It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that pigeons began to be used to communicate in Guangzhou and other places in the south of China. The working people at sea had already used pigeons to send letters to report their safety to their families.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, raising pigeons was very popular. At that time, in Hangzhou, raising pigeons was a pleasure. Wind chimes were tied to the legs of pigeons, and hundreds of pigeons flew in groups. They looked like brocade, and the wind rang like clouds. At that time, not only were pigeons popular among the people, but the royal family was also no exception. The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling, once raised pigeons in his hometown in Lingnan and used pigeons to send letters to his family.
……
Therefore, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost no one knew how powerful carrier pigeons were in communication!
Therefore, everyone thought that Liu Zheng was playing with birds and not doing his job properly!
Of course, Xun Yu, Taishi Ci, Guan Yu, and the other trusted aides all knew that Liu Zheng was training the carrier pigeons!
Other than training carrier pigeons, Liu Zheng could also train military dogs and warhorses, and he could also play military music!
The standard of a playboy who played with things and lost his will to make progress.
Liu Zheng was completely gathered.
In the eyes of the others, Liu Zheng was useless!
However, the more Xun Yu, Guan Yu, and Taishi Ci understood Liu Zheng, the more they admired him.
Taishi Ci stood to the side and watched as the First Prince trained the messenger pigeons. He couldn't help but ask Guan Yu,""Chief Yun, when do you think the First Prince will be able to guard an area?”
Guan Yu smiled bitterly." Ziyi, this matter seems to require many aspects to weigh. How can it be that easy?"
"But to be honest, I'm just like you. I want to go with the First Prince to guard a region as soon as possible and make contributions!
I'm about to die of boredom from pretending to be a grandson in Luoyang City!”
Taishi Ci also smiled bitterly." In order to conceal his strength and bide his time, the First Prince revealed everything that we had done in the past. He made all the nobles in Luoyang think that you were a fugitive, and so was I. I've been looked down upon for the past two or three years. I've had enough of it, and I just want to prove myself by making contributions!”
Guan Yu and Taishi Ci did not blame Liu Zheng for keeping a low profile. They understood why Liu Zheng had kept a low profile.
After all, the injustice of the First Prince Liu Zheng's birth mother, Empress Song, had not been redressed. Now that Empress He was suppressing her, she could only temporarily hide her strength and bide her time!
In the past two to three years, they had followed the First Prince Liu Zheng and learned many military books and strategies. Their martial arts had also improved, so they wanted a chance to make contributions!
Guan Yu and Taishi Ci both wanted to follow the First Prince Liu Zheng and leave Luoyang as soon as possible. They wanted to head to the border to kill the general and seize the flag to make a name for themselves!
……
The First Prince Liu Zheng said to Xun Yu as he trained the messenger pigeon.
"Wen Ruo, do you think my performance in the Imperial Court is enough to make Imperial Father agree to let me guard a region?”
Xun Yu shook his head." Your Highness, it's not enough to judge the situation clearly. We still need to let His Majesty know that the prince has a loyal general to assist him. Only then will he dare to let Your Highness guard a region…"
"Aren't the three of you enough?" Liu Zheng laughed."The three of you are enough to convince my father to let me be released…"
Xun Yu still shook his head." Your Highness wants to go to Liaodong. To the east is Goguryeo, to the south is Sanhan, to the north is Wuhuan Xianbei, and to the west is Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Gongsun Zan. It's extremely complicated. The three of us are not enough to assist Your Highness!
Your Highness, I recommend someone. It's my nephew Xun You. I wonder if Your Highness would mind?”
Liu Zheng was overjoyed." As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when selecting a wise man. I have met your nephew Xun You before. You are good at strategy, while your nephew is good at tactics. The two of you are invincible!”
Xun Yu was delighted to hear Liu Zheng praise them so much.
A scholar would die for his confidant. Xun Yu was grateful to be appreciated by the First Prince."Your Highness, this humble servant will go and find my nephew Xun You to serve Your Highness!”
……
Not long after Xun Yu left, there was another commotion outside the door.
Taishi Ci and Guan Yu walked to the door and were stunned.
There were several mighty and extraordinary men kneeling in front of the door. They were all here to seek refuge with the First Prince!
One of them was a burly man in his 20s. His figure was extremely mighty and majestic, like an iron tower. He held a pair of large iron halberds in his hands!
There was also a burly man in his 20s. Although he was short, his figure was also very strong. He carried a long spear!
There was also a teenager who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He still had a childish appearance, but his eyes were sharp like lightning. He held a sickle in his hand.(There was a protruding groove in the middle of the back of the sickle. It had a blade that could be used to cut during the battle. It was very convenient to use it during the battle.) One look and one could tell that he was a man of both wisdom and courage!
There was also a young man who was less than 20 years old. He looked like he had bright eyes and held a huge axe in his hand!
Guan Yu recognized the two youths at a glance and was overjoyed.
"Wen Yuan, Gongming, are you two here to seek refuge with the First Prince?”
That's right, the person holding a scythe in his hand was Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!
The young man holding a huge axe in his hand was Xu Huang, Xu Gongming!
Guan Yu and Xu Huang were both from Hedong County and had known each other since they were young. Later on, Guan Yu killed the tyrant who bullied his master and went into exile. He met Zhang Liao from Yanmen County!
However, he hadn't expected Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to also seek refuge with the First Prince!
