Chapter 59: Cao Cao Holds a Banquet
"My lord, this is the dock we built. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Wang looked carefully, although this dock looked simple, but the advantage was that there were enough people to not delay the construction period.
Li Jing introduced as he walked: "The Yellow River is turbulent, and the movement of large warships will be hindered, and in some places it is even higher and lower, forming waterfalls, which greatly limits the practicality of our warships in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, so I do not manufacture large-scale warships such as building ships." ”
Li Wang nodded while listening, and the first thing he thought of was the reservoir dam in the future, which would not only be conducive to the production of the people on both sides of the river, but also help the dangerous places with a large difference in the water level between the upper and lower water levels of the boats, so that the facilities for the benefit of the people and the army could be prepared.
Hundreds of warships are laid out in a row, and it is even more magnificent in the place where the three rivers converge, and there are more three-storey buildings and ships dotted among them, which are expensive, if it were not for the taxes and other revenues of Wei County and Changshan County, it may be difficult to maintain such a huge capital consumption by the economy of the state alone, and the Daxing shipbuilding industry has become a joke.
"The last generals, Wang Haomin and Pu Fei, knock to see the lord."
King Li smiled and helped the two of them up: "The two generals don't have to be polite, you supervise the shipbuilding for me, do your duty, run around day and night, and I can't look directly at the amount of credit." ”
Li Wang looked directly at him and made a casual joke, but it scared Wang Haomin and the others, could it be that King Li meant to be a master of high merit? Immediately fell to the ground again and did not dare to get up.
Even Li Jing couldn't understand King Li's attitude, and King Li realized that he had said the wrong thing, but as the overlord of one side, there was no need to explain, and said with a smile: "The two generals should be panicked, and there is a great good thing to explain to the two of them today." ”
King Li helped the two of them up one by one, and then said: "The establishment of the Death Chase Army is about to be, how about you two stay in the Life Chase Army as deputy commanders." ”
Wang Haomin and Pu Fei glanced at each other, and then put down the heart they were carrying, and couldn't hide the joy in their eyes, Li Wang had mentioned to Wang Wei before he was promoted to Wei Juntai Punctuality that he wanted to re-organize the life-chasing army, but Wang Wei's sudden death paused the matter, and at this time Li Wang mentioned it again, thinking that he was already preparing.
"Everything but according to the orders of the lord, I will wait for the two of us to saddle the horse before and after, and dare not serve to die."
Saying that, the two knelt down on one knee and arched their hands to express their hearts.
"I have already communicated with General Annan last night, the two of you will withdraw from the shipyard from now on, exercise the position of commander, and select 500 people from the tens of thousands of migrant workers and 50,000 soldiers to form a life-chasing army, remember that the noble essence is not much expensive, the military servant should be at least ten enemies if he does not say that there are 100 enemies, and the first person does not say what his merits are, but I can promise to enter the third layer of the Cloud Pavilion."
"The lord is wise." The two of them were overjoyed, and fell on their knees and prostrated to the ground.
Speaking of this Yunxiao Pavilion, King Li is not imitating the Lingyan Pavilion of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but intends to build a pavilion with a height of 20 meters, which is divided into four floors, counting from top to bottom, the first layer represents the great sages of the world who set up their lives for the people, the second layer is the people who open the world for the country and have contributed to the society, and then the next is the leader of ten thousand soldiers, representing loyalty, and the last layer is the place where the achievements of the people are recorded.
It is precisely because of this glory and this name that has been celebrated for centuries that Wang Haomin and Pu Fei are so overjoyed.
Pu Fei asked at this time: "I don't know who the commander we are waiting for is." ”
Li Wang smiled and said nothing, and walked away hand in hand with Li Jing, leaving the two of them confused, which can be regarded as a sale.
"Cousin, just send me here."
"That's fine, then I'll wait here for the return of the lord." Li Jing gave up his hand and personally sent Li Wang and others onto the ship.
It turned out that Cao Cao learned the news of King Li's inspection of the Yellow River, and sent someone to invite King Li to cross the river for a banquet early.
King Li didn't stop, he boarded the new ship directly, and only brought Yuwen Chengdu and Wanyan Zongwang, in order to deepen Wanyan Zongwang's favorability, King Li took great pains.
There is no port in Tongguan, it is difficult for the building ship to dock, but the scout ship such as Wuye Boat can be berthed safely, King Li got off the building boat, with the help of a small boat, just stayed not far outside Tongguan, Cao Cao personally led the soldiers to wait for the driver.
King Li got off the ship, and Cao Cao took the lead to meet him, opened his arms, and hugged King Li Xiong.
"Captain Sili is really enthusiastic." King Li sighed.
This lieutenant was in a very high rank in the Western Han Dynasty, and even suppressed the history of the state thorn, but this is not the most commendable place, the most dazzling thing is his power, even if the Ming Dynasty's Dongchang, or Jinyiwei are not as good as him, which shows that his power is monstrous, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the generals are changed every year, and the position of the eight captains is not so precious.
Cao Cao and King Li held hands side by side, which was particularly intimate: "Although Mu Zhou and I only have two sides of each other, the two of us know each other, and even more so old friends for many years, Li Zhou Mu deserves the name of a hero, you should learn more." ”
All the soldiers agreed in unison, and King Li secretly said that the hero is the hero, and he did not forget to mention the soldiers while wooing me.
"Cao Shilang has an overreputation, you and I both started from Xiao Wall, both to save the people of Li from the dire situation, as an official should be, Cao Shilang must not praise."
Li Wangsan rode to the banquet, his courage was extraordinary, except for Cao Cao, only Dian Wei and Pei Xingyan had a relationship, and the other soldiers also had a good impression in their hearts, after all, there was no contradiction between the two forces for the time being, and there was no need to speak coldly to each other.
The affairs of the Lord are free for the two of them to handle, but Wanyan Zongwang and Yuwen Chengdu need to be greeted by the soldiers below, and suddenly there are several people around Yuwen Chengdu, including Pei Xingyan and Dian Wei.
After greeting each other for a while, they set off to Tongguan, because the distance was not far, and it didn't take much time.
The former official residence of Fan Chou has been replaced by Cao Cao's residence at this time, and this time the Allied banquet was arranged here.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "The general Zhang Xiu has already arrived at noon, and he has already entered the table at this moment, let's hurry up and go over." ”
Li Wang promised to walk towards the official residence together.
King Li held his head high and sat side by side with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's generals were not qualified to enter the inner room, so they had to arrange a feast in the front yard.
"Come, Li Zhoumu, let me introduce to you, this is the only son of Zhang Ji, the hussar general of the dynasty, such as the general who is named by the son today, and the head of the world's soldiers and horses." Cao Cao took King Li's hand and introduced: "General, this is King Li of Bingzhou, who fought in the south and in the north, made great achievements, and pacified the Dong thief and the Montenegrin army have outstanding achievements. ”
Zhang Xiu got up and arched his hand, speaking of which Zhang Xiu could be named a general, and he had to thank Yang Zaixing for taking down Dong Zhuo's head on a single horse, but unfortunately no one knew that Yang Zaixing did it, and even Lu Bu only knew about the army, but not Yang Zaixing.
"Li Zhou Mu is young and promising, brave and strategic, I live in Wancheng, and I have heard that Li Zhou Mu is under the wind and rain, the people do not close their doors, it can be described as a prosperous situation, Prime Minister Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun two great sages in my ear to talk a lot, this to the banquet, must personally pass the word to Li Zhoumu's ears, if you have time, you must invite Li Zhoumu to Wancheng to meet one or two."
King Li was shocked in his heart, but he instantly knew the reason, and said happily on the surface: "Thanks to the favor of the Prime Minister and Lord Situ, after the affairs of the coming Japan and the state are settled, and the border pass is calm, I will definitely turn back to the court and meet the two adults." ”
The Wancheng court is actually quite helpless, Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou in the south, divided the land and became the emperor of the soil, and Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Zhang Miao were at war with each other, and it was impossible to listen to the orders of the Son of Heaven, not to mention Yuan Shaogong, Sun Zan and others, only King Li and Cao Cao were different, and the two were adjacent to Wancheng under their rule, and King Li was promoted step by step by Yang Biao and Wang Yun with the footsteps of the Son of Heaven, which was the most likely to win over, so Zhang Xiu was a corporal of Lixian.
The two exchanged two more words and sat down, Cao Cao pointed to another person, and was about to introduce but suddenly remembered something, and said with a dark smile: "The two of you are also old acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce them more." ”
That person had been staring at King Li from the side from the beginning, with a cold look in his eyes, which was also the reason why Chengdu and Zongwang were inseparable.
