116, bestow the talisman
Soon a middle-aged man strode forward, came to the outside of the main hall, took off his boots, walked barefoot, walked inside, knelt on the ground three times, then stood up and walked forward, knelt on the ground three times, and finally walked in front of Bai Ziyun, after three times, he said humbly: "Liaoxi Wuhuan barbarian Qiu Liju to meet the honorable!" ”
All the officials in the hall frowned, this guy just used the most solemn of the three bows and nine knocks to meet the honorable lord, which made them feel quite uncomfortable in the hearts of the Han Dynasty officials. Because this chief is the most solemn salute among the three bows and nine bows, it is generally only used when the courtiers meet the emperor, although Bai Ziyun is a god, but he is not the supreme in the world, this kind of behavior is arrogance. The officials estimated that Qiu Liju was a barbarian who did not understand the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and he heard from somewhere that this kind of salute was of the highest standard, so he used it indiscriminately, and he didn't know that it had been transgressed.
Bai Ziyun was happy, and said with a smile: "Qiu Liju, I am not a monarch father, why do you worship me so much?" ”
Qiu Liju straightened up when he heard this, and said respectfully: "I have always been obedient to power, and my lord burned thousands of Xianbei cavalry in an instant with the technique of Zhu Rong, and killed tens of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry with a snow sword, which is a god and a man." The great power of the honor, Qiu Liju in the heart of the awe, the heart of the sincere convinced, the head of the bow to worship, in order to show my tribe's respect for the honorable. ”
Bai Ziyun laughed and stared at Qiu Liju's bronze face for a long time before nodding and saying, "You are very smart, I like it!" Seated! ”
"No!"
A table has been placed on the lower head on the left, Qiu Liju is sitting inside, and arches his hand: "Your Excellency has summoned me here, there must be something important for me to do." Please respect the command, Guangyang County, my Wuhuan 5,000 cavalry, only respect the head of the horse. Obey orders. ”
Everyone was overjoyed and looked at Bai Ziyun one after another. Bai Ziyun frowned, and said with a straight face: "Everything has cause and effect, and there is a fate, you are afraid of me and respect me in your heart, so you obey me and please me." Those who convince others with strength are not convinced, and those who convince others with virtue are happy and sincere. Hehe. In fact, the two complement each other, and grace and power can be used for a long time. ”
As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone, and everyone nodded yes, and praised them all: "Your Excellency's words are like clearing the clouds and seeing the sky, let me wait for the hut to open, and even the famous words, I will be taught." ”
Bai Ziyun laughed again, scolding in his heart. A bunch of sycophants. How could they not understand such a simple truth? It's just that I can't do it, and I can only hope to convince people with virtue, and it has been a long time. I believed it all, constructed a castle in the sky, and fantasized that I could influence the barbarians with the way of a saint. But these Confucian scholars on the frontier were accustomed to the barbarism of barbarism after all. The illusion in my heart is not firm, and I know the importance of force. Today, there are gods like Bai Ziyun, which can be said to be on their hearts. Now this admiration is genuine.
Qiu Liju's face was expressionless, his eyebrows were lowered, and he looked at Bai Ziyun expectantly, "Your Excellency, what will you use to educate us and other Wuhuan people?" ”
Bai Ziyun said: "The sea is inclusive, tolerance is great, I will stay in the Xianmen for a long time, regardless of race, regardless of high and low, as long as I get my approval, you can become my disciple, Qiu Liju, whether you, including your clansmen, are qualified to be my disciples, it depends on your performance." ”
Naturally, it is impossible for him to accept Hu people as his disciples, Hu and Han are different, Hu people are not sinicized, it is impossible for him to teach important knowledge to Hu people, he said that the disciples under the seat are only disciples of the Xianmen for a long time, he plans to recruit some registered disciples of the Hu people, outer disciples, and use the number of low-level disciples to attract Hu people to join the camp of the Changliu Xianmen, for their use, for their drive.
Qiu Liju was overjoyed, got up and walked to the center, knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "I, Liaoxi Wuhuan, swear allegiance to the Lord!" ”
Everyone saw Qiu Liju openly worshipping his eldest brother, and they were very uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Hmm." Bai Ziyun nodded slightly, shook his head again, and said: "I am a person outside the party, and I shouldn't care about this trivial matter, but Xianbei Hulu does not obey the teaching, lives up to the emperor's grace, and acts unscrupulously, like evil as a demon, I will follow the ancient fire god Zhurong to purify these damn Xianbei Hulu, and after the matter is done, I will return to Changliu to concentrate on cultivation." ”
This is Bai Ziyun's coy posture and self-proclaimedness, and it also implies that the officials sitting here are themselves high-ranking people outside the world and have no interest in secular power.
His hypocrisy, some people here understood it, and some people didn't understand it, but no matter whether they understood it or not, no one had the courage to stand up and accuse, Bai Ziyun's killing yesterday was too terrifying, which made them remember it deeply, and they were extremely afraid in their hearts.
"Xianbei is not only the Kouluo Han people, but also robbed my Wuhuan people, I am equal to the enemy, please rest assured, I swear to kill all the Xianbei iron horsemen, the Xianbei prince will be beheaded." Qiu Liju patted his chest and reassured.
"Good!" Bai Ziyun nodded in satisfaction.
The military situation was urgent, and without further ado, Qiu Liju left the government and ran to the camp to gather his soldiers and horses.
Bai Ziyun, Xia Yu, Liu He and others rode out of Jixian County, and everyone waited outside the city gate.
Liu He remembered that his father was still in the hands of thieves, and he was worried, and remembered the treachery of the Xianbei Hu people yesterday, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "I heard that Qiu Liju has always been unruly, this time he is so extremely groveling, will there be fraud?" ”
Xia Yu smiled: "No, he doesn't dare." ”
"Why?" Liu He asked tightly.
Xia Yu just smiled, but didn't answer.
The person next to him rolled his eyes, isn't it obvious? There is respect, who has the courage to go back on his word? Although the Hu people are vulgar, they also spare their lives.
Liu He saw the smile on Xia Yu's face, and immediately reacted, realizing that he had asked a stupid question, with such a god as Venerable, Qiu Liju really didn't have the courage to play tricks.
In fact, there is another meaning in Xia Yu's smile, compared to other barbarians, the Han people are more at ease with the Wu Dynasty, the Wuhuan people have been attached to the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they have been divided into many tribes, scattered in Youzhou, Bingzhou and other regions, the forces are scattered, each has its own government, although the number is large, but it has not been condensed into a whole like Xianbei, as long as there are no major problems within the Han Dynasty, most of the Wuhuan people do not have the courage to fight the Han Dynasty on a large scale, that is, to be a small thief on the border, and loot on a small scale. Qiu Liju's five thousand cavalry, perennial stay in Youzhou, although barbaric, unruly, but perennial by the Han Dynasty constraints, has learned a lot of Han people's way of life, quite identified with the Han Dynasty, as long as the Han Dynasty pays their satisfaction with the bargaining chips, they will basically concentrate on doing things, and the Xianbei people are completely different.
After coming over for a long time, he didn't see Qiu Liju and his cavalry, Liu He was already impatient, and complained: "Why hasn't Qiu Liju come yet?" ”
Bai Ziyun looked ahead and said with a smile: "They are already here!" ”
Everyone looked along his line of sight, and there was an empty hillside in front of them, and there was no figure in sight, and they couldn't help but feel strange.
After a long time, there was the neighing of horses in front of me, and then the sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, from weak to strong, and finally into a thunderous rumbling sound, and a horse appeared on the hillside, and then a field of cavalry appeared, rolling like a torrent. Everyone immediately admired secretly, sure enough, the gods and men were extraordinary, and at such a distance, the Venerable One had already seen it at a glance.
In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, a black oppressive cavalry rolled in, and a momentum of compelling slaughter came towards them, Bai Ziyun and Xia Yu were calm, but Liu He couldn't stand this momentum, and his body trembled slightly.
Thousands of iron horsemen galloped and galloped, with extraordinary momentum, and the first person was strong and strong, with sharp eyes, it was Qiu Liju. Thousands of iron horsemen followed, and soon approached, Qiu Liju waved his right hand, reined in the horse and slowed down, and the speed of the cavalry suddenly slowed down, stopping in front of everyone. The military appearance is quite casual, but the momentum is like a rainbow, and he is obviously a veteran who is used to the battlefield.
Xia Yu and Liu He secretly praised in their hearts, such a mighty cavalry. Bai Ziyun didn't care, glanced at it casually, and nodded slightly.
Qiu Liju jumped down from his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Bai Ziyun and said, "Subordinate Qiu Liju brought five thousand cavalry to meet His Excellency!" ”
"Meet Your Excellency!" Five thousand cavalry shouted in unison, shaking the earth.
"Okay." Bai Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, drove forward, slowly swept his eyes, and said: "This time, I borrowed your strength to drive out the Xianbei Hu people, but whoever bravely kills the enemy will be rewarded by the court, and I will stay in the immortal gate for a long time and will also reward the talisman to the warriors, you are Hu people, you may not know the role of the talisman, the talisman is the magic weapon in the hands of your shaman, which can govern all the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth, subdue the evil demons, kill the goblins, recruit the spirit and summon the qi, control the mountains and rivers, cleanse the qi, play the post, and reach the immortals, of course, this thing is a treasure of the heavenly realm, It will not be taught lightly, but only to the strongest warriors, the most loyal warriors. ”
"We will fight to kill the enemy!" The Wuhuan cavalry shouted with joy.
Hearing that Bai Ziyun's talisman was so wonderful, everyone's eyes lit up, and they secretly made up their minds that when they went to the battlefield, they must fight bravely to kill the enemy and become the strongest warrior. Bai Ziyun's immortal name is widely rumored in Youzhou, and these Wuhuan are convinced of what he says.
Seeing that the morale of the Wuhuan cavalry skyrocketed, Bai Ziyun smiled with satisfaction, the so-called talisman is just a piece of yellow paper and then drawn with unknown symbols, such a cheap thing can be exchanged for a group of invincible soldiers, and he is very happy to use it to fool.
However, the talisman is not a deceptive thing, it is real, and there is a way to make the talisman in his system, but the production is very cumbersome, and the materials are also very precious and rare, not so easy to make. He had been learning runes for some time, he had mastered quite a few runes, and if he had the materials, he now had the ability to make simple runes. He plans to make some real talismans after gathering the materials in the future, and use them to give to those loyal subordinates, instead of just fooling around now.
"Let's go!" Bai Ziyun waved his hand.
"No!" (To be continued......)
