Chapter 11 Greeting Relatives on War Horseback
The next day, Li Zheng consumed and synthesized all the raw materials of all kinds of war horses that had been hoarded in the beast taming field in the past two months. Due to the gradual spread of the mercenary union system and on the right track, the folk ranger groups, and even the hunters and hunters among the peasants, have joined the ranks, making the raw materials in the animal taming field very abundant.
Over the course of half a day, all kinds of war horses were synthesized into dozens to hundreds.
Especially the mountain-breaking beasts that are urgently needed right now, plus the batch synthesized earlier, the number has reached more than two hundred and fifty.
In the afternoon, Xun You took away more than 250 mountain-breaking beasts, and the road project to Yizhou was officially scheduled.
In the following period, Liangzhou's troop movements were slightly more frequent. First of all, 10,000 elite soldiers of the Central Army were dispatched to Gaonu, and then the White Wolf Division of the Eastern Army began a series of small-scale military operations against the three counties in the northern part of the state. The Mengli Division of the Northern Army also had a series of local conflicts with the bordering western Xianbei.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's forces in Guanzhong, which was close to Liangzhou, also strengthened their defense against the north and west.
Chen Cang originally had three generals, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Lu Bu, totaling nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, but now he has mobilized 30,000 troops from the defense line east of the Guandong to continue to strengthen the defense line of Chen Cang.
Dong Min's department in the Hedong region in the northern part of Guanzhong originally only had about 40,000 people, but this time it also increased its strength by 40,000 troops, reaching a huge scale of 80,000 people, and confronted the Gaonu-Tongtian Mountain line.
In addition, the army led by Zhang Ji and Fan Chousuo to attack Hanzhong on two ways also stopped, and temporarily confronted Zhang Lu.
In early October, guests from Guanzhong visited.
After Xun You received him, he didn't dare to make up his mind, so Li Zheng could only come forward to meet him in person.
It turned out that this person turned out to be Li Ru.
As his name suggests, Li Confucianism is born elegant. When meeting Li Zheng, he was also courteous and respectful.
After submitting the edict, he cried and cried, looking like he was crying and grabbing the sky, which made Li Zheng frown.
This edict turned out to be a blood edict, in Li Ru's words, it was the little emperor who bit his finger and wrote it in blood. It's just that the Son of Heaven was coerced by Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't help himself, and every sentence was inseparable from how unfortunate the Han family was, how hateful Dong Zhuo was, and implored Li Zheng, the pastor of Liangzhou and the general of the expedition to the west, to send troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, to uphold the dynasty, and seek justice for the people of Limin!
In the end, he was allowed to take the position of a general as a bait.
Li Zheng couldn't help but scoff when he saw it.
Putting down the blood edict in his hand, Li Zheng's face was indifferent, he looked at Li Ru, who was still howling in the hall, and said, "The Son of Heaven asked me to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo?" β
Li Ru hurriedly said: "Exactly! The general is the pillar of the Han Dynasty and the pillar of the west. And today's son is unfortunate, the general should respond to the heavens, in order to defeat Dong Zhuo and set things right! β
"Hehe" Li Zheng smiled, but asked instead: "How old is the Son of Heaven this year?" β
"Uh" Li Ru's mind didn't turn for a moment, and replied, "Ten years old." β
"That's right," Li Zheng said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven is ten years old, no matter how talented he is, I am afraid it is difficult to think of such an idea, and it is at such a suitable and appropriate time." Li Ru, you sue me, which ministers of the DPRK and China instigated this matter? β
Li Ru's face froze, and he was speechless.
"It's supposed to be a prince's division, right?" Li Zheng said to himself: "These wealthy families are actually not good things, Li Ru, have you thought about it, if you kill Dong Zhuo now, what will happen to the Han family?" Maybe the Son of Heaven falls into my hands and becomes a puppet, or maybe it falls into the hands of other princes, but he can't escape the puppet's life anyway. To put it bluntly, the Son of Heaven or something, the Han family or something, it doesn't matter to those wealthy families, the important thing is that they are in power! Do you think I'm going to be so stupid and being used as a gunman? β
"Even if I want to cut Dong Zhuo, I will sue you, not for the sake of the emperor of the Han family, let alone be cannon fodder for the wealthy family and be a gunman. When to kill Dong Zhuo, General Ben has his own plans, you go back and tell Prince SΓΉ, he can do whatever he likes, don't want to lead me by the nose! β
Li Ru's face was pale and he was speechless.
"Stand down." Li Zheng waved his hand, stood up, walked towards the inner hall, suddenly paused, and said: "I think you are also a talent, at least you look good, and you should be able to do diplomatic work." If you are interested, you can stay in my Liangzhou. β
With that, he turned and strode away.
Li Ru's mind went blank, and he exited the lobby in a daze.
For Li Zheng, sooner or later, Dong Zhuo will be attacked. But he will definitely not be led by the nose by Wang Yun and these people. If Wang Yun and the others were truly loyal to the Great Han, then Li Zheng would still look up to them, but Li Zheng knew that they were not.
In Li Zheng's memory, Dong Zhuo's death can be said to be a major turning point in the general trend of the whole world. Although Dong Zhuo bullied the emperor, on another level, he also ensured the only remaining prestige of the Han family. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the majesty of the Han family was completely swept away, and the Kwantung princes were able to straighten their waists and fight each other.
If Wang Yun and the others were really for the Han family, they would not have chosen such a violent act. This is completely pushing the Han family into the abyss, and there will be no return.
Secondly, Li Zheng still remembered that in the history of later generations, Wang Yun colluded with Lu Bu and killed Dong Zhuo, and did not allow Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to surrender!
If you think about the bigger picture, you can't do that. To put it bluntly, Wang Yun doesn't want Li Dao and Guo Yan to share his rights!
It seems that he was killing Dong Zhuo, and during the period of time when Wang Yun was in power, this person wantonly excluded dissidents, and even the emperor did not take it seriously, and even his former friends had to be put to death, which shows that he is like that. is still based on the perspective of the family, the purpose is to obtain greater rights, not for the Han family, for the Son of Heaven.
He's not a loyal servant!
And this person, now he has hit Li Zheng's head with the idea, he simply doesn't know what to say.
The so-called position of a great general has no effect at all for the current Li Zheng. Li Zheng's power has grown to the present point, and in his opinion, if he wants to conquer anyone, he no longer needs any excuse or name.
He fought for himself, not for the Han family, so the position of the general of the Han family was not attractive.
As for Liu Xie, the son of heaven, Li Zheng could only sneer.
Just like Li Zheng's earlier speculation, Liu Wei's death was committed by Liu Xie. This person is only ten years old, so cold and vicious, even his brother did not hesitate to poison him, how was he bullied by Dong Zhuo, Li Zheng would never have any pity for him!
In mid-October, Yizhou Huang Quan came to Liangzhou again.
This time I came to Liangzhou for the sake of marriage.
The marriage between Yizhou and Liangzhou, even if it is only Li Zheng's concubine, but because of the height of the political level, it is necessary to make a pomp.
Therefore, all aspects of etiquette must be in place.
The relevant dowry, the determination of the auspicious day of the zodiac, etc., all need to be organized
On the third day of the winter month, it is advisable to get married.
Chengdu, the state of the pastor's house.
Because of the marriage with Li Zheng, in order to maintain the nominal regularity, Liu Yan adopted Wu Amaranth as a righteous daughter. On this day, the entire state pastoral office was dressed up in joy, and the clothes on the doors and windows, and even on the people, were mainly red.
Liu Yan sat high-end, dressed in a bright red regular clothes, and his face looked very ruddy.
Since Li Zheng took Hexi and Shangjun, it caused pressure on Guanzhong, which made Dong Zhuo's pace of going south temporarily stopped, and Hanzhong was temporarily in a safe situation, so Liu Yan's mood relaxed a lot.
Therefore, more attention is paid to this marriage.
"Gong Heng, Liangzhou's welcoming team, can you arrive today?"
Liu Yan asked.
Huang Quan was actually a little dazed in his heart. The last time he went to Liangzhou to discuss the auspicious day, Huang Quan thought that it would be set in the lunar month or the new year. But I didn't expect Liangzhou to set it on the third day of the winter month.
In this way, it is always too late.
But Liangzhou insisted on this, and Huang Quan was helpless.
"Liangzhou promises to arrive today." Huang Quan replied.
As he was talking, there were bursts of exclamations outside the hall, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, and under the leadership of Liu Yan, they all walked out of the hall and into the courtyard.
But when they saw many attendants and guards, they all looked up at the sky, and Liu Yan and the others couldn't help but look up and were shocked.
It turned out to be hundreds of huge monsters hovering over the governor's mansion!
"Lord, quickly avoid the house!"
Zhang Ren and other generals on the side hurriedly surrounded Liu Yan in it.
At this moment, a voice came from above.
"We are waiting for the Liangzhou family welcoming team, please retreat for the time being!"
"This"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
It turned out to be a welcoming team!
It's incredible!
This is the first of its kind in history!
"Get out of the way!"
Liu Yan is finally the lord of a state, although his heart is still pounding, but his face is calm.
In the courtyard, everyone and others avoided the side, and then, the five hundred golden-winged tiger riders hovering in the sky slowly descended.
Fortunately, the courtyard of this state pastoral mansion is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to hold so many behemoths.
The golden-winged tiger rode to the ground, setting off a gust of wind, blowing the evergreen trees in the courtyard with a strong sound, rolling up a little dust on the ground.
When the dust cleared, everyone finally witnessed the full picture of this sky greeting procession.
The behemoth monster with a head as long as a foot and a wingspan of three or four sheets is a tiger and a bird's head, and its eyes are so sharp that it makes people chill when they stare at it.
And these huge monsters are dressed in leather armor, with red silk around their necks, and a large red flower hanging. If you ignore its fierce momentum, then it is also a little festive.
But when I saw the people on the backs of these monsters, they all turned over and jumped down. The one who is the leader, but isn't it Zhao Wu?!
Although Zhao Wu seems to have little power, he has always controlled the Shenzhou Grassland, and he is completely Li Zheng's housekeeper. No one is as close as Zhao Wu and Li Zheng.
Huang Quan knew Zhao Wu, because the last time he went to Liangzhou to discuss the marriage date with Li Zheng, Zhao Wu was also on his side.
"Lord, this is the closest person to Li Chongxiao in Liangzhou, and it seems to be a housekeeper." Huang Quan stood beside Liu Yan and said in a low voice.
"In Xia Zhao Wu, meet Liu Yizhou!"
Zhao Wu got down from the back of the Golden Winged Tiger, his eyes swept around, and fell on Liu Yan, so he stepped forward a few steps, bowed, and said: "On the orders of the master, I came to greet the master for the master, and if it is rude, I also hope that Liu Yizhou Haihan!" β
Liu Yan immediately put a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to help him: "No need to be polite!" β
