Chapter Forty-Eight: The Emperor of Han Asks for a List of Crusades
Li Kui originally smiled and squinted when he heard the front, but when he heard the back, he opened his mouth wide and looked unconvinced: "This ...... Brother! Brother! How can you do this, my iron bull has guarded the Bishui Pass! ”
Xu Qi didn't answer, and laughed again: "Li Kui, Meng Liang listen to orders!" ”
Meng Liang came out and bowed his hand: "In!" ”
Only Li Kui was sullen and said very casually: "Yes." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Qi looked at Li Kui's childish appearance, and his heart blossomed, and he was separated for a while: "The two of you have meritorious service in guarding the water pass, and you will each enjoy 100 altars of wine!" ”
Li Kui was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and laughed: "Hahaha!" It's still good for my brother, not only did he really give me 50 altars, but he also gave me 50 more altars, hahaha, okay! ”
Xu Qi laughed when he saw that Li Kui was unhappy, and he also laughed, and the rest of the people also laughed, and the laughter was full of love for Li Kui's upright character.
But one person didn't laugh, Xu Jue noticed it, and asked, "General Meng Liang?" Why are you frowning and silent? Is my reward too little? ”
Meng Liang listened and hurriedly knelt down: "The subordinates don't dare, the last general just sighed, at that time we were only a few hundred people, but now we have the city, there are so many soldiers and horses, and there are so many brothers, the last general deeply feels that the military food in the city is a big problem, so the last general does not want the lord's reward, I hope that the lord will reward the brothers and families who died in the previous war, which can be regarded as an explanation." ”
Xu Jue sighed when he heard this: "General Meng is really merciful!" ”
Although there are few records of Meng Liang in history, in various related stories, novels, and wild histories, Meng Liang has something in common, that is, he is brave in battle, resolute, and thoughtful, but Xu Jue never imagined that he also had a side of thinking for the people.
Xu Jue couldn't help but sigh again, paused and ordered: "Meng Liangxin is a military and civilian, he can be a role model, 100 jars of wine as usual, and you are appointed as the patrol soldier and horse envoy, responsible for city defense and public security, if you have something, you can come to me directly, no matter when and where, you don't need to report!" ”
Meng Liang immediately knelt down and bowed: "Lord! In the end, even if the liver and brain are smeared, he will not hesitate! ”
At this time, Xiao Sanguo said: "Meng Liang's loyalty is fixed at 100. ”
Xu Jue remained silent: "General Meng, please get up." ”
Only then did Meng Liang get up.
Li Kui was not happy when he saw this, and shouted: "In this way, it seems that I Tieniu is a bad person who doesn't care about the army and the people!" Brother, I don't want the 100 jars of wine, and I will give them to the families of the fallen soldiers! ”
Xu Qi laughed: "Haha, no need, Brother Li Kui, I didn't mean that, you fought bravely and made many achievements, not to mention that this reward was promised by me in advance, even if you don't promise, you should be rewarded!" ”
Li Kui, who has always been arrogant, was silent this time, scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do, and everyone couldn't help laughing when he looked funny.
"Huh! You Aiqing are so happy, can you share it with me? ”
Everyone followed the prestige, and when they saw Emperor Han stepping into the mansion, they flashed to both sides, making the already crowded mansion even more crowded: "Meet Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Han laughed: "You Aiqing are exempt, I don't know what happened just now?" Make you laugh like this? ”
Xu Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Emperor Han: "There must be something wrong with him coming this time, otherwise why did he appear for no reason?" I'll see what he does. ”
He opened his mouth to tell Emperor Han what had just happened, and Emperor Han exclaimed: "General Meng is benevolent and righteous! ”
Then he looked at Li Kui, who looked curious, and asked with a smile: "I have long heard that there is a black man under Xu Qi who is extremely brave in battle, so it must be you." ”
Li Kuihan smiled and said: "Yes, little emperor, I didn't expect my brother to mention me to you, I Tie Niu is very happy!" ”
Seeing this, Xu Qi reprimanded: "Tie Niu, don't be rude, you are so presumptuous to the emperor!" ”
Li Kui rolled his eyes and retreated, and Emperor Han smiled: "I just like sincere men, it's okay." ”
After speaking, he walked straight to Xu Jue: "General Xu, I came here to ask for something, and I ask the general to agree!" ”
Xu Jue hurriedly knelt down and bowed, not knowing what Emperor Han was thinking: "Your Majesty is serious, I don't know what to do, but I just said it." ”
Emperor Han turned around and looked at the generals and civil officials, and said: "I have learned a lot in the palace since I was a child, the poetry of the Han Fu, tunes and rhythms, court etiquette, etc., but I did not learn martial arts. ”
Xu Jue was very shocked in his heart, and everyone below was also discussing, Xu Jue thought about it, looked at Zhou Yu, and said: "Since the emperor has an order, the last general will let Mr. Zhou Tong teach you martial arts, first lay a good foundation, and then choose a general to teach you combat skills in the future, how about it?" ”
Emperor Han nodded: "But listen to what Aiqing said!" ”
Xu Jue continued: "The last general will nominate another person, this person is named Zhou Yu, sixteen years old, four years older than Your Majesty, but he is talented, well-informed, and intelligent, and at the same time, he is proficient in swordsmanship, and he can really be regarded as a personable and gentle person!" ”
Zhou Yu came out when he heard the voice, and Emperor Han raised his head to take a look, and suddenly had a feeling of amazement: "What a beautiful man with a handsome appearance and a graceful posture!" ”
Zhou Yu smiled very elegantly: "Your Majesty has won the award." ”
Emperor Han looked at Zhou Yu directly, and only after a while did he smile and say, "I thought that Bo Yu was already a first-class person, and I didn't want Your Excellency to be ten times better than him!" ”
After finishing speaking, Emperor Han also felt that it was inappropriate, and said to Xu Qi with a little apology: "Aiqing, don't be surprised, I was amazed for a while, and I didn't hold back. ”
Xu Qi hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is serious, the last general is indeed not as beautiful as Zhou Lang, and even if Your Majesty speaks ill of each other, the last general has nothing to say." ”
Emperor Han was very moved at this time, because his height was not enough, so he touched Xu Qi's arm to signal.
Xu Jue looked at this little Zhengtai, his heart was full of unbearability and joy, he paused and continued his work again, and ordered loudly: "Li Wenzhong!" ”
Li Wenzhong came out of the queue and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”
"Xu Da! Feng Sheng! ”
"The last general!" The two of them walked out.
Although the two of them are Xu Jue's elders, everyone understands the truth that there is no father and son in the army, let alone an uncle, so there should be rules.
"Xu Da is strong in martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and good at strategy, and now appoints you as the governor, commanding the city's military horses and supervising the soldiers' drills, there must be no mistakes!"
Xu Da arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”
"Li Wenzhong and Feng Sheng are partial generals, assisting Xu Da!"
"Yes!"
Xu Jue swept the people below again, and suddenly Xiao Sanguo prompted: "Lord, when Xu Da's trio goes out together, each commander can increase by 3 points." ”
"And this hidden attribute?" Xu Jue was slightly surprised, and continued to the next step:
"Xu Ning, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Wei Yan!"
"The last general!"
"Now that our army has just returned from the war, the military resources are insufficient, and now it is August, and I order you to lead a thousand soldiers to assist the people in managing the farmland and preparing for the autumn harvest!"
"Yes!"
"Hua Rong, Wang Yanzhang!"
"The last general!"
"A few days ago, the holy decree has been conveyed to all the princes, and I secretly thought that there must be those who do not obey, and it is inevitable that the time will be to conquer, and now I order you two to step up conscription and expand the source of troops for our army!"
"Yes!"
"Alright, that's all for today, everyone step aside!"
Everyone was ordered to withdraw in turn, only Zhou Dong, Zhou Yu, and Emperor Han remained, and Xu Qi asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to learn martial arts?" ”
Emperor Han's eyes became firm: "I thought that learning martial arts could be self-improvement, and secondly, I could be self-disciplined, the first emperor did not know martial arts, and ignored the government, so the eunuchs were in charge, and the world was in turmoil, which led to the turmoil of the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo's chaos, and now I am lucky to be saved, Aiqing still obeys me, and I have secretly made up my mind to be a Ming Jun of civil and martial arts. Even if you can't turn the tide, you have to keep the foundation of my big man! ”
His words were impassioned, and they were very inconsistent with him when he was only twelve years old.
Zhou Yu was also shocked, looked at Xu Jue and smiled, and then knelt down: "Your Majesty is a young man with ambitions, and he cares about the country, and Weichen admires it!" ”
Emperor Han bowed to Zhou Tong and Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "I have the teachings of Lao and Liang." ”
The two hurriedly returned the salute: "No, you can't!" Your Majesty's golden body, why bother to make such a big gift and kill the last general! ”
Xu Jue looked at the secret analysis in his heart and sighed with emotion: In history, the Han Emperor was first held hostage by Dong Zhuo and used as a tool to order the princes; Later, he was rescued by Cao Cao, which is said to be a rescue, but it is actually equivalent to putting the Han Emperor from an iron cage to another golden cage, but it only gives him a certain amount of superficial power, such as being able to go to court, accept the worship of the ministers, and have the right to make holy decrees, in fact, it is Cao Cao who has the final say, so in history, the Han Emperor did not have the opportunity to learn literature and martial arts as he is now, maybe the Han Emperor is really talented!
Emperor Han then said to Xu Qi: "The poems recited by Aiqing in the past few days are still echoing in my ears, which is very impassioned, and Aiqing can also take the time to teach me. ”
Xu Jue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Emperor Han looked at it again: "Since this is the case, I will go back first, learn from the two Aiqing, and aspire to become a generation of Ming Jun!" ”
Xu Qi and the other three saluted together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Han left the palace in the eyes of the three of them, and Xu Jue asked Zhou Yu with a smile: "Gong Jin, what do you think of Emperor Han now?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded more than once, and praised repeatedly: "What a spirit! I thought that a puppet who had been oppressed all the year round would lose his ability, but I didn't want to have such a city and ambition, which is really a great blessing for my man! ”
Xu Qi smiled: "When he rescued the Han Emperor, he was still frightened, and his eyes were full of fear; Nowadays, you can often see a smile on your face, hey! Lucky! ”
Zhou Yu and Zhou Tong also smiled: "This is all thanks to the mercy of the lord!" ”
Xu Jue smiled very boldly: "I still rely on your assistance!" Then they exchanged pleasantries, and the matter came to an end.
In the next few days, the princes of all sizes who received the holy decree expressed their positions one after another, and Yuan Shu only replied with a letter, the language was vulgar and vulgar, to the effect: The orthodox emperor is that Liu Wei, and now he has braided his hair, you, the emperor, are just supported by the anti-thief Dong Fatzi, not orthodox, I will not be a subject to you! Emperor Han was furious, scolded Yuan Shu angrily, and threatened to crusade, Xu Qi, Zhou Yu and others persuaded Emperor Han, indicating that his strength was insufficient now and he could not act rashly, and Emperor Han reluctantly gave up.
Other minor princes, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, Liu Xuan, etc., did not reply, and after the bandit leader Yuan Xuan, they all entered Xu Qi's crusade list.
Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Sun Jian personally came to Chaisang to worship, expressed their heartfelt intentions, and sent countless gold and silver, and the Han Emperor also gave the three of them oral rewards; Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng, and Yuan Shao sent envoys to Chaisang with letters, first apologizing, saying that because of the long distance and inconvenient walking, they would not come in person, and finally expressed their loyalty.
Gongsun Zhan's envoy brought another letter to Xu Qi and the Han Emperor, opened it and looked, it turned out to be written by Liu Bei, first said that he had not seen him for a long time, and missed Xu Qi very much, and finally said his family tree in thick ink, and the Han Emperor was shocked after reading it: "So it seems that he is my imperial uncle!" Xu Jue looked cold on the side.
In the end, Xu Qi drew up a list of crusades, and the first one was Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou closest to him.
