Although King Langya had a lot of blood to win over the heroes, the effect was not obvious, no matter what the considerations, not only the feudal towns that received the invitation planned to go to Jicheng, but others such as Zhang Yu of Hexi and Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, also sent envoys.

For a time, Jicheng has become a place where the world gathers, attracting the attention of everyone in the world!

"Wow! The walls are so high! ”

Under the gate of Jicheng, Yao Yisheng looked at the towering city wall of Jicheng and couldn't help but feel the strength of Liaodong from the bottom of his heart, and only a strong force could have the ability to build such a magnificent and tall city.

When the Qinzhou coalition army entered Chang'an in the east, Yao Yizhong was cornered, so he had to go north to Anding County to seek refuge in Liaodong. After receiving the report from the Settlement Zhechong Mansion, Liu Yao, the governor of Shuozhou, immediately ordered Yao Yizhong, father and son, nephew to go to Jicheng to meet General Zhenbei.

Since mid-October, starting from Anding, which lasted nearly a month, Yao Yizhong crossed the jurisdiction of Liaodong and finally arrived at Jicheng smoothly. As a result, as soon as I arrived in Jicheng, I was shocked by the grandeur of Jicheng.

Having said that along the way, Yao Yizhong can be regarded as an eye-opener, and finally saw the wealth and strength of Liaodong, which can be regarded as dispelling the unwillingness in his heart.

"Let's go! Go to the city to report to the General's Mansion, and then wait for General Zhenbei to summon you! ”

Yao Yizhong was carrying the documents issued by the Shuozhou Governor's Mansion, and he had to go to the General's Mansion to report it first, and then the General's Mansion would arrange a time for them to meet General Zhenbei.

Just as Yao Yizhong's father, son and nephew were about to pass through the city gate and enter Jicheng, they suddenly saw a group of people rushing behind them, and a middle-aged literati was riding on a horse, looking up and down Jicheng, followed by a personable young man.

"Uncle, look, Master Wen is here to greet us!"

The middle-aged man raised his eyes when he heard this, but saw Wen Qiao walking towards him with a smile, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly dismounted to meet him.

Wen Qiao arched his hand at Li Ju and Guo Yu and said, "Hahaha, welcome Master Li to Jicheng as a guest!" ”

"Don't you come here too much?" Li Ju took a step forward and took Wen Qiao's arm very enthusiastically.

Originally, if there was no Cai Bao, Li Juzhen did not want to get too close to Liaodong. It's really too chilling for King Langya to do this, thinking that Cai Bao is also from Chen Liucai's high-ranking family, but he was unjustly killed by King Langya, which makes Li Ju, who is also from a feudal town and a family, feel the same way.

Cai Bao's death made Li Ju realize that King Langya was not a way to rely on, on the contrary, through contact with Liaodong, he found that the Zhenbei general, who was demonized by the family, was not as bad as he imagined. Therefore, as soon as he received the invitation from Liaodong, Li Ju quickly took his nephew Guo Yu to Jicheng without saying a word.

"Thanks to the blessing of the pastor of Li Zhou, I can get by! Let's go! Please follow Wen to enter the city first to settle in the post house, and after all the guests from Qinghai, Hebei, Henan and Xu Prefectures have arrived, General Zhenbei will hold a grand welcome banquet in the house. ”

"Oh? General Zu, Master Shao, General Cao and others haven't arrived yet? Li Ju asked casually.

"Master Shao arrived early and is a guest at General Liu Yao's mansion."

"Look at this officer's memory! I forgot that Mr. Shao's daughter and son-in-law are the mainstays of Liaodong, and he is no different from his own home when he arrives here! ”

Watching Li Ju and Wen Qiao enter Jicheng in a majestic manner, Yao Yizhong is nothing, but Yao Yisheng and Yao Lan's two sons and nephews are not so comfortable.

I saw Yao Lan shouting at Yao Yizhong with anger on her face: "Uncle, Liaodong is too bullying, I think my uncle is also a famous hero in the northwest, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command. Now that the crowd has surrendered, Liaodong has tens of thousands of elite cavalry in vain, not to mention the general of Laojia Town, at least he has to send a figure with a head and a face! ”

"But until now, except for a Shuozhou governor Liu Yao who sent us a document, there is not even a person to greet us, and he asked me to go to the general's mansion to report in person, I really didn't take us seriously!"

Yao Lan's complaint made Yao Yizhong's father and son look very ugly, but fortunately, Yao Yizhong could see it clearly, and today's Liaodong is no longer what it used to be. If it was changed to two years ago, when Liaodong first entered the customs, Yao Yizhong would have been warmly welcomed by Liaodong.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense! With the power of the current Zhenbei general, how can he take us in his eyes? Do you know who the man who has just entered the city is? That is the Sizhou Mu Li Ju Li Shihui who has just been canonized by the imperial court, Li Shihui is sitting in Henan, and he is responsible for intercepting Shi Lexi from entering the customs, how can we compare with others? ”

"But even so, Liaodong shouldn't be so despise his father!" Yao Yisheng was also dissatisfied with Liaodong's differential treatment.

"Humph! Liaodong dares to belittle us, that is because people have the confidence and strength! But do you and I dare to leave in a fit of rage? ”

Yao Yizhong looked at his son and nephew with an embarrassed face, and said seriously: "The way of the world has changed, and now it is the Liaodong people who are in charge, and their style is different from the previous Jin people, and it is impossible to treat the Hu people as favorably as in the past." If you still have the same thoughts, I think you will lose your lives sooner or later. ”

"If you don't believe it, take a look at the heroic Peng Tianhu who once shocked the northwest, and now you have heard of him? What Liaodong needs is Sumaru, Nengchen, and Duan Wenyang, and there will never be a Peng Tianhu, understand? ”

"No!"

……

In the days that followed, there were constantly heroes arriving in Jicheng, first Cao Wei, Tian Hua, and then the Zu brothers. With the continuous arrival of guests, in order to protect the safety of everyone, the general's mansion dispatched two elite guards, under the leadership of the guard commanders Chen An and Zhang Biao, the post house was strictly protected, and people were prohibited from entering and leaving at will.

"Huhou, Erlang, with the arrival of General Zu and others, Jicheng has been mixed for a while, and many spies from all over the city are lurking in the city to find out the news, and there must be someone who wants to make trouble secretly, so your guards have to work hard a little more these days, pay attention to strictly investigate suspicious characters, and never make any mistakes! Do you understand? ”

"Please rest assured, the last general will know the severity!" Chen An and Zhang Biao arched their hands.

"Well, there are two of them, I'm carefree!"

Since Chen An joined the guard army, with his help, the guard army has developed greatly, and now there are a total of 9,000 guards in the entire Liaodong, and each of them is selected from the elite of the Xiang army, although they do not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"Lord, Pei Changshi and Mo Changshi ask to see!" Huangfu really came in to report.

"Huhou, Erlang, you go and get busy, I have something to discuss with Wen Ji and Shirong."

"No!" Chen An and Zhang Biao turned around and left as soon as they gave up their hands.

"Wait for the lord to meet the lord!"

"Wen Ji and Shirong, I don't know what happened to the two of you?"

"Back to the lord, I just received news that the envoy sent by Zhang Yu, the assassin of Liangzhou, has arrived in Jicheng."

Hearing this, Wei Shuo's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Liangzhou Zhang Yu?" Did he send a messenger too? I don't know who it is? ”

"My lord, not only did Zhang Yu send a messenger, but even the king of Nanyang also sent someone to Jicheng. If it weren't for King Langya's embarrassment to pull down his face, I think he would definitely send someone here. Among them, the person sent by Liangzhou is Zhang Yu's chief mastermind Song Pei, which shows that Liangzhou still values Liaodong. Pei Wei replied solemnly.

Mo Han said with disdain: "Hmph! Where is the value of Liaodong? It's just that he was worried that Liaodong and Qinzhou would jointly plot Hexi, so he sent individuals from thousands of miles away. ”

"As for Chun Yuding from Qinzhou, the minister thought that he must be the most worried one at the moment, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liaodong was determined to win Guanzhong, and there would be a war between Qinzhou and Liaodong in the future. Unless the king of Nanyang took the initiative to withdraw from Guanzhong, no matter who he sent, he would not be able to change the decision of Liaodong. ”

Wei Shuo couldn't help but remind: "Having said that, you still need to confuse the other party, I heard that Chun Yuding is resourceful, and it's not easy to fool, don't be careless before you let him see the flaws and affect the plan of Liaodong to enter Guanzhong in the future, but it will be troublesome." ”

"Please rest assured, the ministers know the severity! But even if Chun Yuding saw anything, he didn't care, because the person who made the decision was King Nanyang, and judging from King Nanyang's consistent performance, his stupidity was obvious. ”

"By the way, there is one more thing to report to the lord, Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Nan'an Qiang people, has arrived, and is waiting for the lord to meet him, when do you think you will summon the other party?"

"Yao Yizhong has arrived? Let him come over tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
