Chapter 263 Liu Hong Is Critically Ill?

How did Liu Bei become the candidate for the eighth school lieutenant?

Zhang Yu was of course shocked.

At this time, Liu Bei should continue to be down, and he will have to be down for a few years.

But why did he suddenly become the candidate for the eighth captain of Xiyuan.

"No, I have to go back to Luoyang immediately, this matter is too unexpected."

Another reason why Zhang Yu was in a hurry to return to Luoyang was that the candidate for the eighth school lieutenant had already been determined, and the other two Zhang Yu did not know each other, so it was probably the same as in history.

But Liu Bei's appearance shocked Zhang Yu too much.

The next day, Zhang Yu bid farewell to Cai Mao and returned to Luoyang.

During the few days on the road, Zhang Yu got a general idea.

"This Liu Bei is really capable of exploiting camps."

It turned out that Liu Bei went to join Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was appointed to go out to suppress the bandits, Liu Bei immediately saw hope, and immediately took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to help out.

Relying on Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Liu Bei made a lot of contributions.

Liu Bei used the rhetoric of the Han family clan again to get Lu Zhi to recommend Liu Bei to the court.

And Liu Hong was worried that he couldn't find a "reliable" person. This Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family, coupled with his many military exploits, was immediately selected by Liu Hong, so he unexpectedly became one of the eight school captains.

"It's interesting, Liu Bei's 'getting ahead' ahead of time, I don't know what will happen to these three countries in the future."

A few days later, Zhang Yu returned to Luoyang. At this time, Liu Bei had become Luoyang's upstart.

Although Liu Bei hadn't arrived in Luoyang yet, I heard that he was already on his way.

It was already the end of March, and the day to form the eighth school lieutenant was not far away.

The staff has been determined and it may be formally established at any time, and Zhang Yu has also started to increase activities so that he can start operations at any time.

At the beginning of April, when Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, he immediately became a man of the hour in Luoyang, and many dignitaries competed for banquets.

"This Liu Bei is quite capable of tossing around, and he's so successful." Zhang Yu said looking at the collected information.

"Brother Zhang Yu, why do you pay so much attention to this Liu Bei?" Zhang Ning asked curiously again.

Zhang Yu embraced Zhang Ning, let her sit on his lap, kissed him again and said, "Because this Liu Bei has a thick skin and can sneak into camps, so we have to guard against him."

Zhang Ning seemed to understand, and wanted to ask something, but Zhang Yu's hand had already reached into her clothes.

The rest is the passion of the two.

After some wind and rain, the two were content to be together.

The next day, as soon as Zhang Yu got up, Guo Jia rushed over.

"My lord, there is a very important news circulating outside."

Seeing Guo Jia's hasty expression, Zhang Yu knew that something serious was going on, so he took Guo Jia to the study.

"What news?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's been rumored that His Majesty is in poor health, and is even dying." Guo Jia said in a low voice.

Zhang Yu was startled, he had already seen that Liu Hong was dying, but Liu Hong looked fine on the surface, so why did rumors spread that he was dying.

"Do you know how the news spread?" Zhang Yu asked while pondering.

Guo Jia said: "There are two kinds of rumors. One is that an imperial physician has visited Your Majesty in the past few days and judged that His Majesty is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, and will die soon. There is another rumor that a warlock observed that Ziwei Xing was dim. His Majesty is about to die."

Guo Jia explained the specific content of the two versions again.

Both versions are well-founded.

"It doesn't matter what your majesty is doing now. What matters is that the situation in Luoyang will become more complicated." Zhang Yu said to Guo Jia: "Send more people and pay close attention to all news."

Zhang Yu knew that the struggle for imperial power had already begun ahead of schedule.

No matter how these news come, all parties must start to act.

Sure enough, by noon, Zhang Yu received a lot of news.

"It is incomprehensible if you are not in this vortex. There are so many movements underneath."

The news Zhang Yu received was that a large number of people were active, inquiring, and drawing power from all parties.

In the past few days, Shenxian brewing is very popular, and tea is also selling well.

It is a Chinese tradition to talk about things at the dinner table.

It all has something to do with what happened in the palace.

This is the case outside the palace, and of course the inside of the palace cannot be spared. Although the inside of the palace is quiet, it is even more terrifying when it is quiet.

Zhang Yu soon received a message from Zhang Rang, asking him to go to his house at night.

"Come when it's time to come." Zhang Yu stood up and walked in the garden in the yard, the undercurrent before the storm also made him uneasy.

In the evening, Zhang Yu brought Dian Wei and his guards to Zhang Rang's residence.

"My lord Zhang Rang." Zhang Yu met Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang still sat on the chair blankly and did not respond.

Zhang Yu took a sneak peek and found that Zhang Rang's complexion was very bad, tired and nervous.

After a long time, Zhang Rang exhaled and said, "Sit down."

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he waved people out.

After the little eunuch closed the door, Zhang Rang turned to look at Zhang Yu.

"I believe you have also received the news. Now tell me, is His Majesty really running out of time, and can your elixir cure His Majesty?"

Zhang Rang kept asking questions, obviously he was anxious and under a lot of pressure.

Zhang Yu had been prepared for a long time, and said lightly: "There are real medicines and fake medicines. It is true that it can cure diseases, and it is fake to live a long life. If His Majesty takes the medicine and abstinence, it can make him live a few more years, or even ten years." , this is no problem, but now that His Majesty is too indulgent, I am afraid it can only be alleviated to a certain extent."

Zhang Rang's heart was half cold, he still wanted to get a miracle from Zhang Yu.

If Liu Hong dies, he will have no power, and there may even be a crisis.

Zhang Rang was angry because Zhang Yu had cheated him.

If it was before, he might attack Zhang Yu, but at this time Zhang Rang didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.

It is impossible for Liu Hong to abstain from sex. Liu Hong has even intensified recently, spending all day on women's bellies.

Zhang Rang closed his eyes, opened them after a long time, and said to Zhang Yu: "I will speed up the formation of the Eighth Captain, what do you want?"

Zhang Rang had no way out, so Zhang Yu dared to tell the truth.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang did not blame Zhang Yu, but spoke to comfort him.

"Where do the soldiers come from? I want to give priority to selecting soldiers." Zhang Yu was not polite at all.

Now people like Zhang Yu are needed to support him. If Zhang Yu is abandoned, then Zhang Rang will not be able to find anyone in a short time.

Zhang Rang was actually very angry, but at this time his situation was very bad.

"Soldiers are all drawn from the major battalions. You can give priority to Jian Shuo's selection, but you must act quickly, because the abilities of those aristocratic families should not be underestimated, especially this kind of poaching." Zhang Rang said.

Zhang Yu's heart sank slightly, Jian Shuo was the first to pick, and many aristocratic families ignored him, so he didn't have much foundation in Luoyang.

Zhang Yu made a decision in his heart not to pick from these people.
