Chapter 54 Returning to Beijing to meet Emperor Ling, Xuande has 30,000 preparations
Everything was ready, Liu Bei took Cai Yan with a lot of money and strange playthings, plus a complete set of fifty sets of books that had just been printed, and slowly marched towards the Beijing division surrounded by a thousand soldiers and a thousand tigers and leopards.
At this time, it is already the end of October, and it will take less than a month to rush to Beijing, and then after staying in Beijing for a few days, I will rush to Yizhou, and I will have to walk for more than half a month, and then spend the New Year in Yizhou, inspect it, and then arrange specific things, and it will take four to five months to go back and forth in the Western Regions.
At this time, Liu Bei returned to Yizhou and accompanied the generals but did not bring other people, but He Ting and Wei Chizhan who had just surrendered this time, and also brought Liao Hua, and the rest of the generals needed to lead the soldiers and horses, plus Liu Bei's martial arts were not far from the super-first-class generals, so he did not let those super-first-class generals follow! As for all the affairs in the Western Regions, all the governance aspects were handed over to Tian Feng to co-ordinate, and the military aspects were all in charge of Jia Xu. In this year's time, Liu Bei also accepted a concubine for all his subordinates in the Western Regions, and the speed was fast, and the concubines were all pregnant!
The group set off to the Beijing Division, and after seven days of travel, they arrived at the Yumen Pass, and the Yumen Pass guard Hua Xiong received the news early and led a group of generals to wait for Liu Bei outside the pass!
After entering the pass, Liu Bei and Hua Xiong sat down, Liu Bei told Hua Xiong about some of the situation in the Western Regions this year, and the envious Hua Xiong shouted that he wanted to follow Liu Bei to the Western Regions to make contributions! Finally, before setting off from Yumen Pass, Liu Bei gave Hua Xiong a selected good horse, and Hua Xiong, who was moved, expressed his loyalty again and again!
After that, there was nothing to say all the way, the two thousand soldiers who accompanied him were all cavalry, so the speed on the road was not slow, and at the same time he hesitated for two thousand soldiers, and there were no bandits or horse bandits who did not open their eyes along the way to trouble them, but they arrived at the Beijing Division in just half a month, but Liu Bei only brought a hundred guards into the Beijing Division, and the rest of the soldiers all let them wait in Nanyang, and train the soldiers by the way!
After entering the Kyoshi. Liu Bei lived in the mansion he had prepared earlier. I didn't stay in the mansion all year, but with the existence of the next person, the whole mansion was still cleaned well, and on the day I returned to Beijing, Liu Bei handed it over, and then I just waited for Liu Hong's call.
After a day of rest, Liu Bei led Cai Yan to visit his mentor Lu Zhi first, and gave him a set of books printed by himself as a gift.
After that, he visited his father-in-law, Cai Yong, and the same set of books as a gift.
The two of them were polite and didn't open it on the spot, but after they opened it, they found that it was not handwritten at all, but printed in ink very standardly, and then they couldn't bear their beating hearts, and they went to Liu Bei's mansion together before the dinner.
"Xuande, your set of books is quite good, it should have been printed somehow, right? I don't want it to be copied by Akihime, although it's Akihime's words. Cai Yong asked as soon as he came up!
"Yes, I compared the same words in several books, and found that they were exactly the same, so I knew that it should be from the same template, Xuande, tell me, what the hell is going on?"
In the face of the questions of the two elders, Liu Bei did not hide his secrets, and introduced them in general, but he did not say in detail! But he instructed: "Uncle Yue, teacher, please keep this method secret, if you let those big families know about it, it will not be far away!" After that, he told Lu Zhi and Cai Yong the truth he told Cai Yan, and the person who said it couldn't help but feel a chill in his back!
"In that case, what is your intention in telling me about this?" Lu Zhi was the first to ask!
"Teacher, father-in-law, it is not smooth sailing to lead the capital of the Western Regions, but there are many rebellions, and there are many thoughts, if you want to keep the Western Regions safe for a long time, you need to sinicize the people of the Western Regions, but no matter what kind of sinicization, how can you teach the Han language, writing, and culture to be efficient? Bei Min thought hard, and finally got this treasure, so he wanted to teach me the Han culture in the Western Regions, but he was empty and had a small end to learn, but it was not enough to take on the task of educating the world, Gu Cai thought of the father-in-law and the teacher, but if the father-in-law and the teacher were not satisfactory in Beijing, they could come to the Western Regions to educate the people of the Western Regions for His Majesty, so that the Western Regions would be stable for a long time! ”
Liu Bei's words are reasonable, and at the same time, he not only recruited these two people, but also pulled a big tiger skin for himself!
After that, he talked with Cai Yong and Lu Zhi for a long time, arranged some things in the Western Regions, and told Cai Yong and the two, who were surprised again and again, and then left the two of them to have dinner at home before leaving!
This time to send the book to Cai Yong and the two, Liu Bei's purpose was not to take the two away, but to express the purpose of recruiting talents to the two through the silver book, and the same achieved the effect that Liu Bei expected, in the next few years, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong really recommended a lot of disciples and friends, among which Gu Yong is the most famous one!
Emperor Han Ling did not let Liu Bei wait for a long time, and on the fifth day of Liu Bei's return to Beijing, Emperor Han Ling issued an edict to summon Liu Bei privately in the study!
This time it was still Zhang Rang who accompanied him, and at the same time, Liu Bei led dozens of soldiers to carry ten large boxes into the palace to meet Emperor Han Ling! It was only after noon that Emperor Han Ling had time to summon him!
After asking Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for peace, Liu Bei wanted to introduce the situation in the Western Regions, but Liu Hong didn't care about the governance of the Western Regions at all, and only asked Liu Bei with concern if he had made up the tribute at this age!
"On the sage, this year-old tribute was originally prepared, but due to the disobedience of the people in the Western Regions to my Han religion for a long time, it led to the attack of the small coalition forces in the Western Regions on the way back to Beijing, although I led the army to win the battle, but also lost a lot!" After a pause, and at the same time looking at Liu Hong's face, Liu Bei spoke again!
"Although I lost a lot, I also brought back 15 million money, as well as four treasures, and I hope that the saint will forgive my sins!"
As soon as he heard that Liu Bei actually brought back fifteen million money, Liu Hong's dissatisfaction disappeared instantly, and he hurriedly brought things in!
Looking at the money all over the ground, as well as the four treasures that Liu Bei paid tribute to, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty laughed heartily and said: "Yes, yes, although there are not 20 million, it is difficult for you to bring back 15 million under the eyes of strong enemies, not to mention that there are four treasures, it is not bad, Xuande, tell me, how do you need me to support you?" ”
"Return, the Holy One, Bei has nothing else to ask for, I only hope that the Holy One can increase the number of troops to 30,000 to protect all the wealth of the Holy One!"
"Well, are there so many Han soldiers in the Western Regions? Beware of raising tigers! Liu Hong asked a little disbelievingly!
"Don't worry, although there are not so many Han people in the Western Regions, there are many people who are close to my Han and have the confidence to control it, not to mention that there is an army in hand, and I believe that other countries will not dare to disagree with my Han!"
"Well, in that case, I'm ready!"
At this point, Liu Bei came to Liu Hong's side to prepare another 20,000 troops, making Liu Bei have a total of 30,000 troops, although it is far from enough for Liu Bei's current establishment of more than 70,000 in the Western Regions, but it can also solve a lot of trouble!
After that, Liu Bei also visited Zhang Rang and other eunuchs respectively, and gave them a lot of gifts, just hoping that Zhang Rang and others could say good things for him in front of Emperor Han Ling! Liu Bei knew that it was still the world of eunuchs, and these eunuchs could not be offended easily!
In Beijing, Liu Bei all the purposes were achieved, met with Emperor Han Ling and to the establishment of the army, met with Lu Zhi and Cai Yong expressed their willingness to recruit talents, and presented treasures to Zhang Rang and others, Liu Bei also had the need to stay in Beijing, so he handed over an excerpt through Zhang Rang, and after getting the approval, he took Cai Yan and others to leave the Beijing Division again, and then turned around after traveling west for only two days, and went to the southeast to meet the guards and tigers and leopards stationed in Nanyang!
