Chapter 1142 I wanted to invite but I didn't come
If Liu Xie hadn't been able to experience Pingyang and his party, or many and a half would have been tired of the slightly difficult life in Luoyang, and then listened to Xiahou Yuan's words and went to Yanzhou, which was relatively complete and had a complete palace.
However, now, Liu Xie feels that since Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, can depict such a gorgeous picture in the north of the white land, as the son of heaven, is it difficult for him?
Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao, then at Xiahou Yuan, and suddenly said the same sentence from many years ago: "You came to save you?" Thou hast come to hijack you? ”
Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but arch his hand and say, "...... Minister...... Naturally, I came to the rescue......"
Liu Xie smiled slightly, and did not have any special reaction to Xiahou Yuan's answer. For Liu Xie, saying such a sentence in the depths of his memory is just like completing a ritual, or a kind of reincarnation.
"In the past, the first kings did not have a palace, so they camped in the cave in winter and lived in the nest in summer. There is no cremation, eating the fruit of herbs and trees, the flesh of birds and beasts, drinking their blood, and their hair. There is no linen silk, and the feathers are clothed. After the saint has a work, and then the benefit of the fire. Fan Jin, Hetu, thought that it was a pavilion, a palace, and a household; With cannons, with burnt, with Heng, with burning, with cheese. Cure its hemp silk, think it is cloth. To send death to health, to do things with ghosts and gods God ......"
Liu Xie muttered lightly, and his voice was not too loud. The young man's clear and crisp voice fluttered on the Suzaku Gate.
“…… Guangwu drafted recklessly, set Ji Yu, turned to Heluo, set the capital here, and the Han Sheji also followed it. Although I am not talented, I am not as good as Guangwu in case, but the Han Dynasty rules the world with loyalty and filial piety, and I dare not disobey it...... Let's go, thank General Pingdong for his kindness...... If he is truly loyal, let him know what he means......"
"Huh? Your Majesty...... Your Majesty thinks twice......"
Xiahou Yuan shouted, but a glint flashed in his eyes.
This is the case in everything, whoever has the right to speak, who can say that the white is black, and when the public knowledge is formed, even if it is really white, everyone will think that it is black.
If Liu Xie is unwilling to follow, then what will he be described as a ghost in the future?
Although Xiahou Yuan doesn't understand these social psychology, he understands the truth that thieves don't go empty. Horse thieves run long distances, how can they not bring some goods home? If you run at a loss every day, what will you do in the future?
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, there are ministers here, and traitors are not allowed to be arrogant!" Xiahou Yuan's mind was electrified, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Someone! Follow a certain rescue! ”
In Xiahou Yuan's opinion, the palace gate that had just been repaired could not be regarded as a door at all, there was neither iron-clad nor rivets, it could only be said that it was barely blocked, not to mention that there was not much protection, and it was even worse than the ordinary dock gate!
Fang just chattered for a long time, and it can be regarded as letting his subordinates recover some physical strength, so they took the palace gate in one go! As for Liu Xie's own statement, it should be regarded as a statement under Yang Biao's coercion!
When Yang Biao heard this, he immediately scolded angrily, and then ordered his soldiers to step forward to resist Xiahou Yuan......
At this moment, I heard Huang Xian on the Vermilion Bird Gate stop drinking, and then there was a loud noise, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows broke through the air, and directly shot down all the cavalry that Xiahou Yuan rushed forward!
"Crossbows! How can there be crossbows?! Xiahou Yuan hurriedly reined in his war horse, with a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
As we all know, even after the invention of the powder gun, long-range projection weapons are still subject to the weather, and the same is true for bows and arrows, once the bowstring is wet, then it means that the ability to fight is lost.
Xiahou Yuan originally drove his troops straight to Luoyang, it was precisely because of this time period of rain that most people could only fight face-to-face hand-to-hand, and could not use long-range bow and arrow weapons, so that the cavalry took advantage of it somewhat, and at the same time, they only needed to face the opponent in front of them, and they did not need to guard against bows and arrows in the distance, which virtually offset the advantage of many Yang soldiers.
But what I didn't expect was that here at Suzaku Gate, bows and crossbows can still be used, and from the perspective of strength, the lethality is still amazing on rainy days!
Yang Biao's soldiers in front of him blocked, and there were strong crossbows on it, although the number of crossbows shot down this time was not much, but the ghost knew how many crossbowmen there were on the palace wall, if there were a hundred, no, as long as there were fifty people, Xiahou Yuan understood that he would not be able to eat and walk around......
Huang Xian stepped forward and shouted: "The Son of Heaven has an order, but you dare to disobey it!" If you don't retreat, you won't be killed! ”
Although it is said that the crossbow string with iron wire can only be shot more than ten times before it will be stretched, and the force will gradually decay, it is not a very suitable bowstring material, but it is not afraid of rain and wet weather, but it has become the deadliest killer at the moment.
Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and stared up at Huang Xian, then glanced at Liu Xie resentfully, then without saying a word, he turned the horse's head, turned around and left.
In order to reserve and restore the strength of the people and horses, he deliberately talked nonsense with Yang Biao for so long, and now that it is no longer possible, why do you have to say anything to put gold leaf on your face?
Seeing Xiahou Yuan retreating, Yang Biao also looked up at the palace wall. At this moment, Yang Biao really hoped that Huang Xian could lead his soldiers to stay with him to leave Xiahou Yuan forever, but this wish was obviously impossible to complete, because Huang Xian didn't even look at him, just stood silently behind Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Poor protection...... The minister is guilty...... "Yang Biao dismounted and pleaded guilty.
The relationship between Huang Xian and Yang Biao is not good, first of all, Yang Biao does not feel that it is a good thing that he has another army on his territory that is not under his control, especially since this army is under the command of Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, if it weren't for Liu Xie's statement that Huang Xian and these horses are just guards of the forbidden palace and do not participate in matters outside the palace, Yang Biao really wants to directly deprive Huang Xian of his military power!
Even in the face of Liu Xie, he didn't give Huang Xian much preferential treatment, and it was even more common to deliberately withhold and delay military salaries, food and grass, which led to Huang Xian having to disband some relatively poor personnel, leaving only the most elite soldiers.
And now, when facing the impact of Xiahou Yuan's men and horses, he still needs Huang Xian's soldiers to reach out to help, which makes Yang Biao's heart churn up and down, which is really not a taste.
Liu Xie smiled, looked at Huang Xian, and nodded in appreciation. Liu Xie was very satisfied with the commander sent by Fei Qian. Since taking charge of the forbidden palace, abiding by the rules, even if Yang Biao's subordinates deliberately deduct and delay, they rarely complain and fight, and at the same time, they are not like other martial artists who command the army, they have a headache when they see books, and if they see Huang Xian if they have leisure, they are basically reading carefully with a book in their hands......
These are enough to give Liu Xie a lot of good feelings, and now that he sees Huang Xian showing himself some face, he is even more satisfied. The standard in Liu Xie's heart, reading can know etiquette, and knowing etiquette can advance and retreat, from this point of view Huang Xian is indeed very similar to Feiqian, the general of Zhengxi......
Liu Xie turned his head to look at Yang Biao, his gaze getting colder.
"Luoyang, it is the Kyoto of the world! I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! ”
Liu Xie's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, "Yang Qing, I refuse Cao Pingdong and stay here, one is the land of Guangwu Sect Temple, and the other is that the world urgently needs to be pacified, not strife!" Yang Qing, you must know that if you can't tolerate the world, the world can't tolerate you! Thou shalt do thy own thing......
When Yang Biao heard this, regardless of the water stains on the ground, he kowtowed heavily to the ground, and raised his head for a long time, only to feel that he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain, his body was already infiltrated with heavy clothes, and his back and chest were cold......
………………………………
The sudden changes in Luoyang City also seem to have unconsciously added some variables to Guanzhong......
Guanzhong and Xiliang are like two grasshoppers tied to a rope, one end is jumping in the east and the other is tossing in the west. The Qiang people, especially the Eastern Qiang people, have been inseparable from the Central Plains of China since the Qin Dynasty, and the further they go, the more estranged the Eastern Qiang and the Western Qiang people become, and the Western Qiang people like the Northern Xiongnu began to march farther west to the south, forming a unique Qiang culture, which has been extended to later generations.
Originally, in the Xiliang area, when Dong Zhuo was alive, although he was not a man of his word, he followed his words, but he was more or less controllable by the commander, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo also had a lot of Qiang people under him, so basically, Xiliang entered a relatively stable few years after the chaos.
But with Dong Zhuo's death, and without a suitable heir, the entire Xiliang Legion was torn apart, and other military groups that were originally more or less submissive, or acquiesced in Dong Zhuo's strength, and did not dare to provoke head-on, had a lot of other thoughts.
Ma Teng and Han Sui, who are under Dong Zhuo, are considered second-level military groups, and they also launched an invasion of Guanzhong in the first time, although Ma Teng died unexpectedly in the end, but for Han Sui, this is not a bad thing.
The first time he entered Guanzhong, he was somewhat hasty and not fully prepared, so Han Sui had to temporarily withdraw from the battle in Guanzhong due to the lack of food and grass, but this time, Han Sui thought that he was ready.
And Ma Chao, who obtained Li Wei's head, naturally got the support of the Qiang people on his mother's side and became the heir of Ma Teng's military group, but now he is a little proud, and he doesn't know that what he is about to face is a more dangerous test than the swords and guns on the battlefield.
This time, Han Sui and Ma Chao raised troops to the east, and the main change was to add a large number of Qiang people to the queue. I have to say that nomads are congenitally very adaptable to all kinds of migration, and it seems that as long as they bring cattle and sheep, they can go anywhere. Although the increase in the number of Qiang people has increased the difficulty of Han Sui and Ma Chao in managing the soldiers, it has also reduced the burden of food and grass on many soldiers, and only a small amount of food needs to be given, and the rest can be solved by these Qiang people.
With Xia Mu's support, Han Sui even thought that this time, he could basically take Guanzhong into his pocket......
The displaced people in the early stage can be used to tear apart the defense of Guanzhong, drag down the economy of Guanzhong, and even consume some military strength in Guanzhong, but it is not suitable to rely on the displaced people to fight Guanzhong, even if it is really defeated, I am afraid it will become a blank land. This is naturally not what Han Sui wants, therefore, at this time, Han Sui feels that it seems that he should move from behind the scenes to the front of the scenes, close the situation, and officially enter the big stage of Guanzhong.
In this land of China, whether it is ancient or modern, if there is something to discuss, it is inseparable from inviting guests to dinner. Han Sui naturally did the same, and sent a lot of people to contact the leaders of various Qiang tribes early......
When it came to the agreed date, Han Sui looked at the sky and nodded with satisfaction, it was a good weather, very sunny, the temperature was naturally not too low, and the spring breeze was blowing, so it was naturally very suitable for treats.
Treats, especially for Hu people, the quality of the dishes is exquisite, and it is natural to be exquisite, but the most important thing is the quantity, which must be prepared enough, otherwise there will be nothing halfway through the meal, not only will the guests be embarrassed, but Han Sui, as the host, will also have no face. Therefore, from the early morning when the sky was just dawning, Han Sui asked people to start preparing the ingredients for the banquet.
The venue for the banquet was carefully set up on a grassy slope. The grass slope is not high, and it is gentle, so the seats can be arranged from high to low according to the terrain, so that the difference between upper and lower dignity is inadvertently reflected.
Han Sui's position naturally has to be placed in the highest place, and then down to the bottom, who sits where has already made arrangements according to their respective sizes and strengths two days ago, presumably those Qiang Hu have nothing to say. The dishes are naturally barbecue-based, with some refreshing leaves unique to spring, accompanied by mellow and delicious drinks, as well as a variety of dried fruit cheeses and drinks, which are also prepared several days in advance, and are now ready.
As the main ingredient of the barbecue, dozens of lambs have been circled on one side, ready to be slaughtered at any time, anyway, the people in charge of the cooks are veterans, and killing a lamb is no different from killing a chicken and duck.
For larger cows, it is necessary to kill them in advance and divide the flesh and bones, otherwise they will be killed when the guests arrive, which will inevitably make the guests wait too long.
Han Sui looked around, and felt that there were no mistakes everywhere, and the preparations were being carried out in an orderly manner, so he nodded with satisfaction, and encouraged the cooks a few more words, and then prepared to return to the big tent and rest for a while, so that he could show his most energetic side during the banquet.
But before Han Sui could reach his big tent, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from one side.
Han Sui turned his head to look and saw Ma Chao hurrying over with a few people.
Before entering, Ma Chao didn't wait for the horse to stop completely, so he pressed his hands on the horse's back, flew down, and rushed a few steps in front of Han Sui. Broken! Broken! Today's banquet, I'm afraid it's going to be smashed! Riwuji, who was just Baimaqiang, Ligude, who was a wolf, and Lu Yan, who was Ran Shuqiang, all sent people to say that he was suddenly sick, and I am afraid that he would not be able to come......"
"Sick?" Han Sui suddenly frowned.
What a clumsy excuse this is, wasn't it okay two days ago, and said that it was sick?
When did the Qiang people become the same as the Han people, and they knew how to use illness as an excuse?
Baimaqiang, Shenluoqiang, and Ranjunqiang are three relatively large Qiang tribes, and if they don't come, it will be equivalent to demolishing nearly half of Han Sui's platform......
Just when Han Sui was still pondering what was going on, another soldier suddenly came running, panting and stepped forward to report: "Master Hou, little Master Hou...... This, Fang Cai Qingyi Qiang and Wu Duqiang also sent people to say...... I can't talk about it......"
"Bastard!" Ma Chao kicked the soldier who reported the news to the side, and then said angrily to Han Sui, "Uncle, what happened?" What the hell is going on? "Tsing Yi Qiang and Wudu Qiang are also the big tribes of Xiliang, and now, even if Ma Chao thinks with his toes, he knows that today's banquet is completely smashed.
Han Sui frowned, although he didn't say anything, but he was also muttering in his heart, you fucking treat me as a god, you ask Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu asks who to go......
However, what happened to these damn Qiang people?
