Chapter Forty-Seven: Master Li
After the meeting of the Meng family was dispersed, Meng Wu and Meng Chen also returned to their courtyard, Meng Wu asked Meng Chen to come to the study with him, and after sitting down with each other, he listened to Meng Wu say: "Chen'er, you should have heard your grandfather's words, I'm afraid it won't take a few days, your grandfather will make arrangements, what do you think of your two elder brothers?" ”
Meng Chen is only nineteen years old, not yet twenty years old, but since childhood martial arts, and led the army to capture the mountain bandits, although young, but is heroic and extraordinary, listening to his father's words, Meng Chen also said: "I grew up with my brothers since childhood, and I also know a lot about the character and character of the two elder brothers, and the willingness of the two elder brothers to join the army in the Han army is enough to show that the leaders of the Han army are by no means ordinary.

nodded approvingly, and then Meng Wu also sighed and said: "Your grandfather is too arrogant, even if the Meng family has 26,000 Mengjia troops, and encounters tens of thousands of Dongying people, he doesn't dare to say victory, but the Han army is less than 10,000 people who have annihilated more than 10,000 Dongying people, just this combat power is not something that my Meng family can stand by, now the Han army is expanding, after months of training, there will be an elite, not to mention the 26,000 Mengjia army, even the entire Rongcheng 100,000 army combined, may not be able to win." ”
After a pause, Meng Wu said again: "Chen'er, my father wants you to go to your two brothers, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Chen's face also showed a look of surprise, and said: "Father, I have long wanted to be with the two brothers, but at the beginning, except for our lineage, everyone in the Meng family opposed the two sisters-in-law entering the house, and then made the two brothers leave. ”
"In that case, you will go tomorrow." A gleam flashed in Meng Wu's eyes and said, "Now that your two elder brothers have soldiers in their hands, those people in the Meng family who look down on your brother will not talk nonsense now, when the time comes, you will tell your two elder brothers about the family's decision, and they will have their own decisions, by the way, you have also controlled more than 800 knights in the Meng family's army over the years, right?" Bring them with you, now the Han army is in urgent need of knights, if you go like this, you may be reused! ”
Unlike Meng Wu who wanted to take the Han army into his own possession, Meng Wu wanted to let his three sons be generals in the Han army, in his opinion, the rise of the Han army could not be resisted, even if it was the Meng family that had been inherited for nearly a hundred years.
"The child obeys!" Meng Chen replied with a smile.
。。。。。。
Li Guang, who is also the patriarch of the Li family, is talking about this in a courtyard with his only baby daughter at this time, Li Guang is more than forty years old, and he is middle-aged, he is no longer as heroic as when he was young, but he is dressed in Confucian costume, like a very learned scholar.
But don't be deceived by Li Guang's appearance, because those who are familiar with Li Guang know that Li Guang is definitely an excellent commander, who once led the army to fight for the East Dragon Empire for more than ten years, until he was thirty-six years old, he was named the Marquis of the East China Sea, and Rongcheng and a radius of 300 miles are Li Guang's fiefdoms.
After leaving the army, he took his wife and daughter to Rongcheng in Weihai County, accompanied by only two thousand guards, at that time Rongcheng had been divided by the Situ family, the Zhang family and the Meng family, but he relied on two thousand guards to gain a place in this Rongcheng, and now he has trained an elite soldier with 30,000 armor, becoming one of the four major forces of Rongcheng, the other three old families dare not offend Li Guang at will, in fact, if Li Guang is willing, with 30,000 soldiers in this hand, it is enough to sweep the three major families.
"Master, do you remember your Uncle Xiao He?" There was a hint of doting in Li Guang's eyes, and he asked a woman in her twenties beside her.
The woman gave birth to a flower and a moon-like appearance, a white and pure face, and soft and delicate skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, and the eyes are sparkling like stars. There is a small mouth under the bridge of the small nose, the lips are thin, the corners of the mouth are slightly bent upward, the whole face is delicate and beautiful, so refined, there is no trace of the smell of fireworks in the world, sitting there, dignified and noble, quiet and elegant, so pure, tender, like a budding hibiscus, fine and dusty.
This woman is Li Guang's only daughter, Li Shishi, and is also recognized as the first beauty in Rongcheng, who knows all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what is even more rare is that Li Shishi is smart and refined.
After listening to his father's question, Master Li had a smile on his face and said, "Of course I remember, if it wasn't for Uncle Xiao He to help us seven years ago, I'm afraid our Li family wouldn't have become one of the four great families today!" ”
Nodding, Li Guang sighed and said: "Your Uncle Xiao He has a great kindness to our Li family, a few days ago, he sent a letter and told his father something, before that, I want to ask you, what do you think of the boiling Han army that has been rumored recently?" ”
"Han Jun?" Master Li muttered softly, and then after a little muttering, he said, "Like a spark in the prairie fire, it will surely shine in the world in the future!" ”
"Oh? Master, you actually have such a high opinion of this Han army? Li Guang was a little moved, and was very surprised by his daughter's evaluation of the Han army.
"Father, if there is chaos today, as long as the family or individual with a little strength thinks that one day they will be able to compete in the Central Plains, so that now the war is raging, and it is even more convenient for people of foreign races to take advantage of it, but even so, no force attaches importance to fighting foreign races, and thinks about how to overthrow the Donglong Empire, and then dominate the world, but the Han army is different, although the Han army is still weak, but it is deeply popular with the people!" Master Li said.
"It is undeniable that the Han army will also participate in the big chessboard of the world in the future, but as far as the current Han army is concerned, its establishment is still to fight against foreign races, although it is only limited to the land of Weihai County, but just like a spark can start a prairie fire, I think, it will not take many years for the Han army to rise completely in this Shandong province." Li Shishi made a final decision, and it seemed that he had seen the rise of the Han army.
Li Guang looked at Master Li in a daze, and then said, "Master, do you know? Your Uncle Xiao He's opinion is not much different from yours, and his letter to his father is to ask his father to assist Liu Chen in order to strengthen the Han army! ”
"Oh? Did Uncle Xiao He really say that? Now it was Master Li's turn to be surprised, because she also didn't expect that Uncle Xiao He, whom he had always respected, would also have such an evaluation, at least it seemed that her views were roughly the same, so she just heard her say, "What does my father mean?" Did you say yes? ”
"Do you think you should say yes as a father? You know, after all, the father is the marquis of the Eastern Dragon Empire! Li Guang asked Master Li rhetorically.
"Now that the Donglong Empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, domestic **** wars, and foreign invasions on the frontier, in my daughter's opinion, the Donglong Empire will become history, and it is likely that it will be a chaotic era of princes in the future, and in such an era, father, daughter feel that we need to make a choice." Master Li said categorically.
Glancing at Master Li, Li Guang was silent and did not speak, he was still a little conflicted in his heart, because no matter what, he was the marquis of the Eastern Dragon Empire, and he once led the army to fight for the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Fighting for hegemony in the world, Li Guang does not have this mind, because he knows that he is not a person who can achieve hegemony, so in the face of the upcoming chaotic era, Li Guang will naturally not sit still, and voting for a master is the best result.
"Let's think about it." Li Guang sighed and said,
"Father, I want to go to Yaxi County, I want to get to know this man named Liu Chen, I heard that he is only twenty-three or four years old, I am very curious, what kind of person can achieve such achievements at such an age!" Seeing that his father said that he should consider it, Master Li also said later.
As soon as these words came out, Li Guang was stunned, looked at his daughter in a daze, and looked at his daughter's face with a look of curiosity, Li Guang suddenly came back to his senses, his daughter has grown up, twenty years old, and it is time to get married, Liu Chen, the lord of the Han army, is young and promising, if the two of them can be combined, it is also a good thing, if it can really be like this, even if he takes his 30,000 army as a dowry, Li Guang is also willing, thinking about it, Li Guang's face also showed a smile.
Seeing his father smile inexplicably, Master Li was a little confused for a while, and said to his father: "Father, do you agree?" ”
Li Guang turned around at this time, smiled and said: "Yes, of course I agree, in this way, I will let Su Quan lead three hundred knights to escort you all the way, and now Rongcheng to Yaxi County is quite stable, there are three hundred knights to escort you, and I am at ease for my father!" ”
"Thank you, father!" Master Li is also very happy!
