Seeing that Gu Daoyuan was unwilling to let him salute him, Zhu Lihua immediately understood what Gu Daoyuan meant.

In front of so many soldiers, Gu Daoyuan was afraid of hurting his morale. After all, the wife and son of a country, the ministers of the clan fled here, and the soldiers will inevitably be cranky and sad.

Yu Lihua nodded to Gu Daoyuan, and immediately asked Xi Zihui to lead everyone to the newly built post house at the ferry, while he followed behind everyone, resisting the urge to immediately go to see the few people who had just come off the boat and missed him so much, and returned to the Yellow Sky Fortress together.

After settling Lady Yin and Gongzi Hui properly, Zhu Lihua and the others bowed to them again and said that they would do their best to be loyal, and then withdrew, so that the mother and son, who looked very tired, could get the rest they hoped for.

In the confusion, Yu Lihua hurriedly followed Gu Daoyuan to the fortress chamber to discuss business with everyone.

Zhu Lihua, who entered the hall a little later, saw Gu Dao sitting in the center, and a group of civil and military officials were lined up beside him, looking at Zhu Lihua who entered the hall, everyone's eyes immediately revealed complicated emotions.

Gu Daoyuan smiled slightly at Zhu Lihua, and pointed to the back position of the military attache in the hall to signal Zhu Lihua to sit down, and after Zhu Lihua saluted Gu Daoyuan, the soldiers behind him pushed his bamboo chair to the position that Gu Daoyuan pointed to.

After another greeting with Gu Daoyuan, Gu Zaizuka introduced the officials in the hall to Zhu Lihua.

With Gu Daoyuan's introduction, Zhu Lihua found that most of these people were clan relatives of the Yongjia family, and most of their official positions were in charge of clan sacrifices and other positions.

Although they still look like they have escaped death, they still have some contempt for Lu Lihua, a young man who is not even a lord.

Looking at the undisguised proud faces of these people, Zhu Lihua smiled indifferently and didn't care, originally these people were just passing by in a hurry for themselves, since they looked down on themselves, then they just ignored them, why bother with these fathers-in-law.

And Gu Daoyuan saw the look of Zhu Lihua in his eyes, and secretly gave a thumbs up. When he finished introducing the clan relatives, he introduced the ministers who were really in charge of the practice to Lihua one by one.

Speaking of which, there are actually only seven ministers who escaped from the small court of Wenshui.

Zaizuka Gu Daoyuan, Sikou Zhang Ziyu, Sikong Chun Yu Mei, the military department squire Yu Rang and the deputy general Zhao E, and Wen Zhaoyuan, who had a relationship with Zhu Lihua more than a year ago, plus Ma Yuan, the captain of the Yuxiao Military Academy, who escorted Mrs. Yin's mother and son all the way north.

Except for Wen Zhaoyuan, the rest of the people greeted Lihua one by one under Gu Daoyuan's introduction, and they all knew that although Lihua's knighthood was almost worthless in front of them, he was the only powerful person who controlled everyone's vitality at this time.

These people are naturally no better than those clan relatives who are above the top, and they have long developed their extraordinary ability to judge the situation during the years of power struggle, so at this moment, everyone is extremely polite to Zhu Lihua, including Zhang Ziyu.

Zhu Lihua felt the warmth and coldness of the people at this time, and he was also embarrassed in his heart, when he saw Wen Zhaoyuan, who was half an enemy, he found that he didn't even have a trace of hatred in his heart.

And Wen Zhaoyuan's heart is also extremely complicated, and the scenes of the past when he was in Xu Chang kept appearing in front of him. He was

I regret countless times why I didn't say a good word for Lihua at that time, and it is better than the embarrassing situation now.

But at that time, Zhu Lihua was just a small captain, why did he offend such a small role.

Goodbye Yu Lihua, he has long been prepared for all kinds of things, whether it is assassination or humiliation. But when he was trembling and found that he didn't even look at himself, he realized how small he was in the eyes of this young general.

After introducing everyone, Gu Daoyuan began to talk about what happened in Wenshui.

More than a year ago, after the Xijing Incident, although Zhao Zhihai ushered in the Duke of Qin in Xijiao, he also knew that the Qin State was about to die, so he was disheartened and had to train the recruited recruits while asking for help from other countries with the Duke of Qin.

During this period of time, Zhao Zhihai had advised the Duke of Qin countless times to send Gongzihui out of the Qin State, but he was rejected by the Duke of Qin on the grounds that "the monarch dies, the doctor dies, and the scholar dies".

Since the change in Xijing, Duke Qin seems to have changed as if he was a different person, just drinking and depressed every day, and handed over all the things to Zhao Zhihai and Gu Daoyuan's ministers to handle.

Maybe he also saw that there was no room for maneuver in the affairs of the Qin State, or maybe he saw clearly what it meant to be helpless, what it meant to fall apart, what to call people's hearts unpredictable, and what it meant to be the ups and downs of the monarch and ministers.

The efforts of the small court of Wenshui finally died down after being rejected again and again by the countries that asked for help, and it happened that at this time, the Yuanzhou Rong army went south to attack Shubei County, and the Shu people also closed the only channel for the Qin army of Shubei County to withdraw into Shu.

After that, Zhao Zhihai formulated a plan to break through the siege, and sent a messenger to ask Yuli to send troops to cooperate in containing the main force of the Xijing Rong army.

Zhao Zhihai originally wanted to divide his troops into two routes, all the way south from Wenshui, and then detour through Huangshui to the north to Lulihua Hexi County. All the way from Xiayang City, along the Xia Shui south, fled into Wangji.

For this reason, he asked Duke Qin to go south to Xiayang with him, while Gongzi Hui took the route north with Gu Daoyuan's assistance. Under all kinds of pleading, Qin Gong finally agreed to Zhao Zhihai's request.

But just as Zhao Zhihai and Qin Gong went to Xiayang with an army of 20,000, they found that the Rong army south of Shubei County was about to break through Xiayang City, and Zhao Zhihai was in a hurry and was ready to launch a final attack.

On the day when Wenshui got Zhao Zhihai to attack Xia Yang in a desperate attempt and let Gu Daoyuan set off with Gongzi Hui, Wenshui City was also attacked by the southbound Rong army of Qin Lan County.

But at this time, Zhao Zhihai had just led an army of 20,000 to Xiayang, where was there how many soldiers and horses in Wenshui City could be used to defend the city.

The soldiers who were originally preparing to flee by boat saw the Rong army coming, and they had no will to fight at all under fear, so most of them collapsed at the first touch, and even more scattered and fled without even seeing the faces of the Rong people.

Wenshui City has been preparing for nearly three years, but after all, it has completely fallen into such a strange and helpless situation.

"Fortunately, there are also three generals in the rebellious army, Deputy General Zhao, Deputy General Wen, and Captain Ma Xiao, gathered some soldiers and seized a boat, and escorted us out of Wenshui. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will already be unlucky.

But this is the case, and the only clan relatives and noble ministers who escaped that day were just a few of us. All the way along Wenshui to Hexi, on the way encountered countless obstacles by the Rong army along the coast, but fortunately, the Rong people are not accustomed to water, and there are no strong boats and sailors

, so we were able to escape to the Shangdang smoothly.

......”

Gu Daoyuan's face was gloomy and he told Lihua what happened in the middle of the summer, but Lihua still saw the look of the old minister of the eunuch who had palpitations in the process of telling.

Involuntarily, he turned his gaze to Ma Yuan, who was sitting opposite, and saw the familiar and unfamiliar bearded young man with a painful face, as if he was still immersed in Gu Daoyuan's narration.

Finally, after Gu Daoyuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at Zhu Lihua again, of course Zhu Lihua understood what these eyes meant, so he immediately solemnly repeated what Fang had just said to Mrs. Yin to Gu Daoyuan and the others.

After finishing speaking, the expressions of Yongsi and the others were obviously relaxed, and Gu Daoyuan said with a smile: "Before the middle and the king went south to Xiayang City, the middle and greater people left an edict and entrusted me to issue an edict to the general. General Kaori has a disability, so he can sit down and receive orders. ”

Gu Daoyuan said, took out a scroll of silk books inlaid with gold rim from his sleeve, opened it carefully, and looked at Yongsi and Zhang Ziqi on the side, and then said solemnly: "Zhu Lihua takes the order." ”

There were already soldiers behind him who pushed his bamboo chair into the hall, and when he heard Gu Daoyuan's decree, he hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "Chen Lihua takes the order." ”

Gu Daoyuan frowned coldly, and said loudly: "General Pi Lihua recovered the party and crisscrossed behind enemy lines......

However, the people of Ranrong are powerful, and in two years, the national fortune has withered under the swallowing and encroachment of whales.

At this point, the national mourning has reached the point of life and death.

......

In order to avoid the fall of the Great Qin, the widow decided to go south to Wangji with Zhongda Ren, Sima Jieyuan and other important ministers to ask for rescue, while the eldest son entrusted Zong Boyongsi, Zaizuka Gu Daoyuan, Sikou Zhang Ziqi and other ministers to go to the party to avoid the edge of the Rong people.

Since the Rong people marched eastward, General Wei Lili of the Great Qin Dynasty started with 100 people in the north and south, and won 100 battles.

People in the world often praise the generals for their outstanding military skills and noble character, and few people think so.

For this reason, the widow specially named the general as the squire of the military department, led the general of Hexi, promoted to the rank of five doctors, rewarded 10,000 acres of cultivated land in Shuofang County, and promoted the generals under the command of the general to a first-level level, the nobles rewarded the first-class, and the Shu people appreciated 100 acres of land

......

Now under the nest, the widow only hopes that the general will live up to the country's grace in order to protect the safety of the tired eggs. The next day, if the first prince is blessed, Daqin will be rebuilt, and the general will have a day to worship the emperor.

......”

As Gu Daoyuan read out the edict, there was silence in the chamber. Although some people were a little shocked by the rhetoric in the edict of the monarch, most people listened to this letter with a blank face, which was a bit like the edict of the orphan, and did not say anything special.

They understand in their hearts like a mirror, what is the real meaning of Zhu Lihua, the general who holds the last bit of heavy troops in Daqin, is the monarch who has made him a great good.

And the exaggerated and ornate rhetoric in the edict was just a means used by the monarch to buy off the emperor.

After all, wishful thinking entrusted his son to the protection of the strange general, the king had nothing to show for him but some rewards and words of praise like a castle in the sky.

It must be known that Lihua can have today's status, not by virtue of his family strength and foundation in the court, but by virtue of his extraordinary ability.
