Chapter 1131: Can We Take a Step Further?
After seeing the two little guys, Huangfu Chaobo's gloomy mood improved a little. After talking to the two little guys for a while, Huangfu Chaobo handed the little guys into the hands of their mothers, and then turned around Staring closely at Huangfusong's house.
After a long time, Fan Ahcai opened the door, looked at Huangfu Chaobo and said: "My lord, the old general has woken up. The old man has given the old general an acupuncture. He is still in good spirits now. I know that the lord has come back. The old general invites the lord." Go inside and talk to the three generals.”
The three adults Fan A spoke of were Huangfu Jianshou, Huangfu Li and his son-in-law Zheng Yuan. When the three of them heard this, they all looked at Huangfu Chaobo. Huangfu Chaobo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let the four of us go first and take a look." Look, the others are waiting outside first, so that if my uncle wants to see someone, he won't have to look everywhere." As he said that, he walked into the house quietly, and the other three followed closely behind him. .
Several basins of fine charcoal fires have already been lit in the house. These are all processed smokeless charcoal, so even though several basins are burning, there is no peculiar smell in the house. As soon as he entered the room, Huangfu Chaobo's eyes fell on the scrawny old man lying on the bed. In less than half a year, the energetic little old man was now skin and bones.
Seeing several people coming in, Huangfu Song immediately sat up a little with the help of his maid, and then said feebly to Huangfu Chaobo: "Back... back! Xianbei people... how are they doing over there?"
Xu Shi hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he spoke a few words, Huangfu Song began to gasp. Huangfu Chaobo quickly stepped forward and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, the Xianbei people have been repelled, and Yanbei County has won a great victory." , captured more than 100,000 Xianbei people, captured hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and countless supplies. Although Gongsun Zan's Lulong County suffered some losses, it was able to recover a lot after we jointly defeated the Xianbei people. Although there are few losses, the situation of the Xianbei army in the remaining places is not very clear yet. However, there is no news yet that the Xianbei people have invaded the hinterland of Youbin and the two states. It is estimated that the situation should be okay. It is very likely that Xianbei will be there before the snow. People have already retreated.”
Huangfu Chaobo finished speaking in one breath. Huangfu Song was obviously relieved after hearing this. He nodded, looked at everyone in the room, and said: "You four stay, and the rest of you should leave first!"
Judging from his posture, he should have a lot to say. Huangfu Chaobo looked at Fan A with a worried look. He nodded to Huangfu Chaobo and said: "Don't worry, Duke, as long as the time is not too long, Still no problem.”
After listening to Fan A's words, Huangfu Chaobo nodded to everyone and motioned for them to leave. Upon seeing this, Huangfu Jianshou immediately climbed onto the bed and took over from the maid to help Huangfu Song sit up.
"I can't do it anymore..." After everyone left, Huangfu Song said slowly;
"uncle……"
"Father……"
Huangfu Chaobo and others were about to speak out to persuade them.
However, Huangfu Song stopped him and said, "You will listen to me first. While I am still awake and my energy is still sufficient, if I don't ask about it, please don't interrupt me, okay?"
"Wei!" the four of them replied in unison;
Huangfusong paused for a moment, then regained his energy and said: "I don't have much time left. If there is one thing that I don't understand before I leave, I will never sleep even if I die. Chaobo, let me ask you, now you You have become the Duke of the country, but the world is still in chaos. If nothing happens, your achievements may still be further improved. Let me ask you, if you are granted the title of king, what will you do next? "
Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. The next step for becoming king must be to proclaim himself emperor. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Huangfu Song was a famous general in the late Han Dynasty. He suddenly asked this question, and there must be a deep meaning in it. When he thought of this, he didn't know what to say.
"I don't want to embarrass you anymore. It's hard to answer. I'll answer it for you. If you have the chance, you will definitely go further. Am I wrong?"
When Huangfu Chaobo saw that his thoughts were seen through by Huangfu Song, he stopped covering up and said: "In the past, the Qin Dynasty lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. The great ancestor was originally the chief of a pavilion in Surabaya. At this moment of turmoil, he drew his sword. Since then, the Han Dynasty has had a four-hundred-year foundation. Now that the Han Dynasty has lost its deer, why can’t our Huangfu family turn our family into a country and achieve another centuries-old foundation? "
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song was silent, but Huangfu Jianshou and the others were dumbfounded. They were speechless for a long time, and then they were overjoyed. If this was really the case, they would also be princes for generations.
After a long time, Huangfu Song opened his mouth and said: "However, the talents of our Huangfu family are withering. From me to the following, we are all talented among men. Qineng can easily do what you said, and it is impossible to bring death to the Huangfu family." "
"Before Gaozu became the head of the pavilion, he was a rogue in the countryside. Guangwu was born in poverty, but he was still able to achieve a century-old foundation. However, my imperial family has been a powerful family for many generations, so why can't we just cultivate a few independent talents?"
Huangfu Song was speechless. After a long time, he spoke again: "Is it irreversible?"
Huangfu Chaobo was silent. Judging from his current status and power, there is no way to retreat. It is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat: "With my nephew's current situation, there is still a glimmer of hope for advancement, but if you retreat, you will lose everything." Everybody leans in."
Huangfu Song actually knew it, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he also knew that he was just wishful thinking, and his voice suddenly dropped: "I want to stabilize the Huangfu family and be loyal for generations, but in the end I have to... Chaobo, uncle hopes You can promise that if it comes to the last step, you will not bury him with your own hands!"
Huangfu Chaobo said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry. When it really comes to that, the Huangfu family will definitely not be stained with Liu's blood."
Huangfu Song nodded and let out a long sigh, which was full of helplessness, melancholy, regret, worry, but also a little bit of excitement...
Unlike Huangfu Song's mixed feelings, Huangfu Jianshou and the other two were excited and excited. If it weren't for Huangfu Song's serious illness, it's hard to say that several of them would shout with excitement. The three of them are all in their prime. If Huangfu Chaobo can go one step further, the Huangfu family will really turn the family into a country, and they will really be dukes for generations.
Huangfu Song saw the expressions of the people, and a feeling of powerlessness came over him. However, Huangfu Song did not know how to express the other mixed emotions: "You guys should leave first. I am tired and want to have a good rest..."
How could the people not know what Huangfu Song was thinking? They looked at each other, bowed to Huangfu Song, and then quietly left the room. After everyone left, Huangfu Song closed his eyes weakly.
