Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Surrender of the Di People
Xiao Ma Qing could sit still, drink and ride a horse, and felt complacent about the integration of a group of people and horses of the Mi clan of the Xia Pi State under the banner of the Liang Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But others can't sit still.
The dignified heir of the Liang Kingdom disappeared under the eyes of the whole world for two months, and it was still a situation where life and death were unknown after the defeat, if it weren't for the fact that King Liang could sit still, he would have made it clear that he would wait for the next year to see the situation before mourning...... His Ma Qing's well-dressed mound has long been in the lonely grave of Zhangshan.
According to the words of the Liangguo fugitive in the Battle of Pengzehu, Ma Qing's army was not pursued and captured by the enemy after the defeat, but gathered the old army and went to the direction of Xia Piguo.
This is really reassuring, otherwise if you ask Ma Yue to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person...... lost his father at an early age, lost his wife early, and lost his son in his later years, and the three mournings in life can be all together!
His Royal Highness the famous King Liang of Bao Qi is directly attacked in a hurry, and he died!
A whole year of haze!
lost his mentor, lost his good general, lost his city, rebelled, and stabbed him in the back, and finally lost his son.
If Ma Yue is made younger for another twenty years, he will not want any Liangguo, and he will definitely raise a large army to besiege the imperial city, use bows and horses to smash the city gate tower, and fight all the way south to Cao Cao's hometown in Yuzhou...... But he is no longer so young, and behind him is the stormy Liang country and nine million people.
He was like an ignorant boy with a rein, but he drove a wild horse that galloped wild.
The direction of the country and the world is no longer as easy to adjust as it was 30 years ago.
Throughout his life, he wanted to change the direction of the tide...... But he couldn't do this twenty years ago, the first emperor should still be dead, and Luoyang should be messed up.
Twenty years later, still.
He has spent half his life trying to make only a few changes, even though he once changed the lives of millions of people with his bare hands.
But these changes are still just a drop in the ocean in the long river of history.
After 30 years of fighting, the biggest change he made was to change his own heart and temper.
However, in the end, on Chinese New Year's Eve, God still sent the New Year's gifts to Longdu.
This is a meaningful year, because on the first night of the new year, a human head was transported by a fast horse to the palace banquet of the Liang King of Longdu.
The human head was accompanied by several barbarian warriors on wild horses and in animal skins.
Barbarian, Ma Yue is too familiar, the hair on his head is braided into small braids, wrapped in a leather jacket on his right placket and left side, and his face is tattooed with tattoos and a man who exudes a fierce atmosphere...... In the past forty years, most of the Qiang brothers were like this, but the people at the palace banquet looked at each other silently, and no one knew this fierce and strong man.
And...... He's not a Qiang!
In the land of Liangzhou, the Qiang and Han live together, but there are also some unknown Yi people, and this man with braided hair is neither Qiang nor Han, and his identity is about to be revealed...... Di people.
"Qiu Chi Mountain, King Li Hu, meet His Royal Highness King Liang."
The self-proclaimed King of the Di people did not kneel, but only leaned over, and his movements reminded Ma Yue of himself when he first entered Luoyang more than thirty years ago.
Facing a room full of dignitaries and nobles, although they wanted to show their arrogance, their bearing was a little worse after all.
Ma Yue suddenly closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath.
Sometimes the big people are not as comfortable as the small people, he doesn't know how many Di people this Li Hu rules over, even if it is only a few hundred, there is a question that he already has an answer in his heart.
This king of Di is happier than himself, the king of Liang.
Men who really drink blood and struggle on the edge of life and death are the freeest, and for men, freedom is happiness.
People who are free at heart don't pay attention to those bullshit!
"Excuse me, let's treat this as your tribe, Your Excellency King Di, thank you for sending the head of Cheng Yi, a rebel general of the Liang Kingdom." Ma Yue rubbed his chin, waved his hand and said, "Wine, please drink!" By the way, how did King Di find out about Chengyi? ”
Ma Yue hasn't figured it out yet, could it be said that his prestige after His Royal Highness King Liang conquered the twenty-seven countries of the Western Regions has reached this level? A group of savage brothers rushed out of an unknown ravine and slaughtered the panicked Cheng Yi?
Just to please yourself?
It's fantastic!
Li Hu looked left and right, untied the belt with three short axes and daggers from his waist and threw it on the ground, as if to signal that he was not carrying a weapon, and walked a few steps towards the horse without drinking.
No one expected that there would be such an unruly person in the Liang Kingdom, and suddenly the left and right guards jumped in their hearts, and Yang Feng, the Marquis of Fengting, who was sitting under Ma Yue, even stood up and stretched out his hand to hold the Han sword in Ma Chao's arms.
Now Ma Chao is not only the nephew of His Royal Highness King Liang, but also his son-in-law of Fengting Hou, and at a palace banquet of such specifications, no one can sit next to King Liang, so Ma Chao sat with his father-in-law, holding the Zhongxing sword that the first emperor gave to King Liang and then transferred to Fengtinghou.
Ma Yue raised his hand, and when he saw that Li Hu, the king of Diren, did not look like he had malicious intentions towards him, he got up and moved to the side, stretched out his hand and said, "King Di, please take a seat." ”
The other party is a king anyway, although for Ma Yue, in addition to the little emperor of Luoyang, there are still some master-apprentice feelings in the world, and other bullshit in the world who calls the king and the emperor is nothing in Ma Yue's eyes.
What did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang say? The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!
Ma Yue is not the king of Liang because he is legally hereditary, it is because he has the ability!
King Qiang, who is the same as the King of Diren, was slaughtered for him before he was a teenager!
It's not a fear to give up the position, it's just a favor to repay the favor.
How do you know that Li Hu did not take the seat, but just walked to the position of King Liang's head, stood in front of Yang Aruo's several cases, looked up at Ma Yue's face carefully, and then frowned and looked around at the ministers of civil and military affairs, then arched his hand jerkily and asked, "Big hero, Li Dao is dead?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
Where will anyone call Ma Yue a big hero?
Ma Yue frowned, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember that he had known such a king, and only after a while did he say: "General Li Zhiran is outside, and he is stationed with the White Emperor under the tent of Marquis Dong. ”
"Your scars fade." Li Hu picked up the wine bowl at this time, just stood in the middle of the main hall and bent down to Ma Yue to drink the Liangzhou spirits in the bowl, wiped the wine stuck to his beard at the corner of his mouth and said: "The rebel general Cheng Yi ran to Wudu Xingguo and asked for help from Agui, the king of Xingguo...... My soldiers and horses are all hidden in Yugu, I dare not show up for fear of being attacked by the army of Liangguo, and I ask you to give an edict, I will send the 7,000 sets of armor. ”
The tent was shocked, thinking that Cheng Yi was running to Li Hu's land with a small number of chaotic troops and was killed, but he didn't want to let Cheng Yi gather nearly 10,000 deployments on the way to escape...... It is not the name of the warlord of the cool country.
"Your soldiers?" Ma Yue's head is still a little cloudy, he has been in the horse for thirty years, and the scars on his body have already been numerous, how do you know which scar Li Hu said is lighter, so he has to ask: "Wait, do you know me?" ”
Li Hu smiled heartily, and once again bowed his hand to a much more regular action, turned around and took out a bronze carved dagger from the belt thrown on the ground and said, "Your Highness, do you remember this?" That year, the clan encountered Qiang bandits, thanks to His Royal Highness led the army to pass by to save his life, and the younger generation moved to Qiuchi Mountain alone, before leaving, he learned that His Royal Highness led the army to garrison the Lingshui River, and sent someone to send a bronze dagger......"
Speaking of this, Ma Yue finally remembered everything that was far away, Li Hu may have been a few years old that year, and he kept calling himself a hero, he and his brother moved their clan all the way from Zhangshan to Zhangjiachuan in Longxian County, and met the Di village that was plundered by the Qiang people to help, and the broken blade on his face crossed his temple.
"It turned out to be you...... How did you become the king of Di? ”
Li Hu's face was a little proud, and he held his head high with his hands and arms as if he was in his own home, and said to Ma Yue: "Isn't the big hero also the King of Liang?" Why can't you become a king? ”
This remark made Ma Yue happy...... It's been a long time since anyone in Ryokuni has dared to speak to themselves like this!
"Your Highness, those old words will be said in the future, today I am responding to your army in the name of the three Diren kings of Wudu, Qiuchi Mountain, and White Horse." Li Hu waited for Ma Yue to finish laughing, and then said seriously: "Since Emperor Xiaowu of the Han State squeezed out our clan, most of the Di people are hiding outside the valley, and now the Di clan is willing to serve His Royal Highness King Liang as the Lord, I hope you can treat my tribe well, and the Di clan will fight for you." ”
Speaking of business, Ma Yue nodded lightly and asked, "At this time, Liangguo is on the occasion of employing people, how many of you are there?" ”
"Wudu Xingguo King Agui, with more than 60,000 subordinates and 18,000 warriors. The white horse is handsome Yang Ju, with more than 50,000 subordinates and 8,000 warriors. As for Qiuchi Mountain, I don't have a tribe, only 9,000 warriors who can fight well! Li Hu arched his hand and smiled: "From today onwards, all the people of Di will serve you as the Lord to repay the grace of their lives back then." ”
In fact, what Li Hu didn't say was that the Di people were good at raising horses and believed in the White Horse God, and the image of the White Horse God was Marshal Ma...... And Marshal Ma, with three eyes.
Ma Yue has a scar on his eye, just like a third closed eye.
Being able to lead his subordinates to respond to Ma Yue, who looks like a god, is the will of God in Li Hu's opinion.
With a population of more than 100,000 and nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, it suddenly made up for the emptiness of Liangzhou's large-scale use of troops in a short period of time, and more population means that more needs will be better. For this kind of thing, Ma Yue is no longer unhappy.
"Good! Good! Good! Ma Yue waved his hand and asked someone to present a futon to Li Hu, and immediately said: "In this case, the Liang Kingdom will build a camp in Hanyang for the three soldiers and horses of the Di people in the fastest time, and as for those people, they need to be divided into various cities, can you have any objections?" The Di people are no longer restricted by the laws of the past and are classified as the people of the Liang Kingdom, do you think it is good? ”
What's more, from the time of the submission of the Di people, all the forces of the entire Liangzhou meant that they were truly integrated by him, just like what his deceased mentor Liang Hu said back then.
'Back to Liangzhou, as long as it is your people, whether they are Qiang or savages, lead your army to fight and pacify the world! ’
