Chapter 230: Shining Debut
(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ufgw)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is not Uncle Zhang Zhi's Hanoi Army." Dong Cheng was the first to open his mouth and overturned Liu Xie's speculation in one fell swoop. Dong Cheng himself is also a member of the Xiliang Army, to be precise, he is Niu Fu's general. In those years, I had dealt with many generals of the Bingzhou Army, such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yang, and it was easy to see that this support army was completely different from Zhang Yang and his Hanoi army, which had more than enough courage and insufficient momentum.
Taiwei Yang Biao frowned and thought hard, and muttered: "With the wolf's head as the banner, it seems that I have heard someone say it before, who said it......"
Liu Ai said: "Why should Yang Gong bother to guess, the generals who recruited his leaders will come and ask." β
As the highest military attache in the country, Taiwei naturally has the right to recruit any army general to come and ask, but at this time and then, in such a field at the moment, how dare Yang Biao come forward at will? At the beginning, he disobeyed Guo Yan several times and was almost cut down. These warlords are more violent than the other, and before he understands the situation, he doesn't want to bring humiliation on himself with the dignity of the three dukes. At the moment, he turned his attention to Dong Cheng.
Not only Yang Biao, but everyone, including the Son of Heaven, turned their attention to Dong Cheng - if you want to deal with these military leaders, it is naturally more suitable for you, the military leader.
Dong Cheng didn't refuse, and left happily. He also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, although he doesn't know where this "wolf army" is sacred, but if he can climb some sources and win over one or two, he will definitely be able to suppress Yang Feng. After this fiasco, Dong Cheng's men died, they ran, there were few soldiers left, and the Huns were not familiar with it, and Yang Feng and his group of Baibo army brothers had thousands no matter what, so they didn't hurry up to find a way to attract foreign aid. Sooner or later, he will be stepped on by Yang Feng.
As soon as Dong Cheng left, Li Le couldn't sit still, he had to quickly summon the scattered soldiers back, otherwise how could he get mixed up with just a few guards around him?
While the monarchs and ministers were waiting anxiously, Liu Xie turned his face to the gradually clear river in the distance, where there were indeed dozens of large and small ships, the most eye-catching were the three building boats. To tell the truth, since Luoyang was burned down by Dong thieves, all the naval warships on Kunming Pool have been affected. It had been a long time since he had seen such a large, armored ship.
Alas! If there was such a building ship last night, why would it be in a desperate situation?
For some reason, Liu Xie felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he felt very close to this ship. Oh, it must be touching the scene, remembering the scene when the imperial sister held her hand many years ago and traveled to Kunming Pool with the imperial brother......
Liu Xiezheng was sad, and suddenly heard Dong Cheng's jubilant voice outside: "Your Majesty! ιxiΓ ! The royal chariot is back, please enter the chariot. β
Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Liu Ai, Han Rong and others were overjoyed. The Imperial Rim is a symbol of the status of the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven is on his way, only by sitting here to meet the foreign ministers can he not lose the courtesy of the king and the etiquette of the Son of Heaven. When they went out of Chang'an. The Son of Heaven sat on the imperial chariot, but in the battle of Dongjian , all the imperial objects were abandoned, including the imperial chariot. I didn't expect to be able to find it, what a big surprise!
Gentlemen, you take me and help me out of the reeds together. Really. Under the rising sun, the wrong gold inlaid jade, cinnabar lacquered Son of Heaven is standing quietly, brilliant, gorgeous and gorgeous. In addition to the fact that the royal horse is no longer the original two five-flowered horses, but replaced by two jujube horses, it seems to be a taller and more divine horse.
Liu Xie was pleasantly surprised: "Dong Jun, where did you get this?" β
Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, it is naturally from Li Wei's camp. This is when the Liaodong Army cleaned up the enemy camp, it was found from the stable, and it was specially presented to His Majesty. β
"Liaodong Army!"
Everyone keenly noticed the key words in Dong Cheng's words.
Yang Biao suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remembered!" Last year, Xuzhou Mu Tao Gongzu once made a watch, mentioning that there was a wolf cavalry army in Liaodong, which helped it fight thieves and save tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou - the banner of that army was a wolf head. β
It turned out to be the Liaodong Army! No wonder the cavalry was so fierce. But Liaodong is thousands of miles away, how can there be an army here?
Dong Cheng said with a smile: "This matter is still up to Liaodong Taishou Ma Jun to say it for His Majesty." After saying that, he waved his arm to the high bank, where more than ten horsemen were looking over here, and when they saw Dong Cheng gesticulating, they rode their horses downhill together, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust.
Yang Biao and other ministers exchanged glances with each other while supporting the Son of Heaven to enter the chariot, and they all saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes: Isn't this Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Shengji? When did you change to a horse gentleman?
Liu Xie climbed back into the royal chariot, caressed the familiar gold-painted cloud and thunder pattern on the wall of the box, and felt the soft and comfortable sable cushion under his buttocks, a kind of sadness and joy that was lost and regained, which made his nose sour. At this time, I heard the noble man next to the car and said softly: "This Liaodong Taishou is really a caring person, and he knows that he will sacrifice the car first, and then visit him, so as to be the whole monarch." is far from being comparable to Li Le's generation, that is, Xingyi (Yang Feng) and Anji (Dong Cheng), which are also inferior, and it seems that they may be children of the family. β
Liu Xie nodded, and rushed to save the driver last night, he must be heavily rewarded, and if he is from a famous family, he will have to be reused.
But the sound of hooves was getting closer, and there was a metallic sonorous sound. The monarchs and the guards all raised their heads and looked at it - at this time, the morning sun was rising, the glow was shining, and the more than ten cavalry soldiers seemed to be plated with a layer of gold paint, shining brightly, which was dazzling. They rode on the sturdy horses of the tall gods, their bodies undulating briskly with the galloping horses, lightly and calmly, and the nails and leaves were sonorous, like the golden armor generals galloping out of the golden wuli.
At this moment, the momentum of this group of fallen monarchs and ministers was actually captured by a group of armored horsemen, and they were surprisingly quiet.
Come and gallop close, the first rider will stop the horse, and more than ten riders behind him will be reined at the same time, and turn over and dismount at the same time with the first knight. The movements are neat and neat. In the eyes of a group of monarchs and ministers, I felt that after a hundred and ten practices, I couldn't help but secretly praise it - but in fact, I hadn't practiced at all, it was just an instinctive habit, a habit of only the lord and the horse.
The first rider was covered in blood, and his silver armor was all vermilion, which was not difficult to remind people of the bloody battle last night. He raised a hand to untie the iron skullβat this time, all eyes were focused on this person, and he could see the details of his every movement very clearly, ordinary civil servants or attendants didn't notice anything, but Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, and Fu Wan, who had been military officers or were military generals themselves, felt quite strange. Everyone wears an iron tie with a ribbon knot, and when it is untied, it is a pull rope, but this rider has his fingers staggered, and he untied it with two twists. And it was strange that he was not bound by a long ribbon of tape, but by a short and wide leather belt.
The rider will hold both sides of the iron pocket with both hands, lift it gently, and the ground will sound softly, and as the iron pocket slowly rises, it finally reveals the true face of Lushan.
From Liu Xie downwards, all the ministers, including Dong Cheng, were all taken aback - Liaodong Taishou who guarded one side; The fierce general on the battlefield with the flag (under the big line, must be the boss. No one can replace it), everyone has preconceived ideas, imagining that this should be a majestic man with a wide waist and ten girths, and a bearded hedgehog Zhang, well, a bit like a small Dong someone.
Unexpectedly, this is actually a young man in his early twenties, heroic, handsome like a scholar!
This can't be the Liaodong Taishou that Dong Cheng said...... This thought floated in the minds of all the monarchs and ministers. But in the next moment, everyone knew that they had guessed wrong.
"The subordinate Liaodong is too guarded by the horse, knock to see His Majesty!" Ma Han's strong body was bent nearly ninety degrees, and he raised his hand to increase his forehead. bowed to Liu Xie, and more than a dozen knights behind him knelt on one knee. said that it was a kowtow, of course it would not kowtow, not to mention that the Han Dynasty did not have this kind of etiquette. Even if there is, with horses and armor on the body, it is still worshipping and not knocking.
Among them, the most surprising is Dong Cheng. He had some contact with this person who called himself Liaodong Taishou, although he couldn't fully see the other party's facial features, but the compelling and fierce aura exuded from this person was only felt in Dong Xiangguo and Lu Wenhou in his impression. At that time, Dong Cheng threw away the original idea of suppressing people with the style of generals and foreign powers, and talked about each other as equals, and at the same time strengthened the idea of befriending the other party. It's just that he didn't expect that this 2,000-stone county guard who made him look up to him was actually a figure of the same age as his own children.
"Ma Jun is flat, there is no need to be polite, I was fortunate to have Ma Jun's help last night, and I was able to get out of this big disaster. Ma Jun's work in escorting will be rewarded. Liu Xie said while carefully looking at this excessively young Liaodong Taishou, who has been accustomed to seeing many vulgar and reckless warlords in recent years, and this rare handsome and handsome Taishou is very much to him.
When people get along with each other, the first impression is very important, and the first impression that Ma Han gave to Liu Xie was very good.
Ma Han straightened up and said: "This is the blessing of the Son of Heaven, the protection of the emperor, and the ministers are just called by the heavens, and they meet at the right time." And fighting thieves and rebelling is the duty of the subordinates, so how can we talk about merit? The subordinates couldn't save the car and put the Son of Heaven in danger, which was really a big mistake. I only hope that His Majesty will remember that my Liaodong soldiers have come from afar, and they will be loyal and not blamed, which is the emperor's grace. β
To save the Son of Heaven, he does not take credit, but asks for sin, and calls it the will of God.
Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Han Rong, Liu Ai and others glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts, this is the real temple figure! is also a rush to help, compared with those Li Le, Hu Cai, Han Xianam and the like, they are not worthy of lifting shoes, even Dong Cheng and Yang Feng's generation, they are also inferior.
Ma Han's words suddenly made his favorability in Liu Xie's mind go up a lot.
And since Ma Han and his party approached, Fu Guiren and Dong Guiren, who hid back in the car, couldn't help but gently open the pane and peek at the young and heroic figure.
Although he also knew that it was out of place, Liu Xie couldn't help but ask curiously: "I only knew that Liaodong Taishou was Gongsun Shengji earlier, why did I ......?"
Ma Han calmly responded: "The Son of Heaven guarded Liaodong with Gongsun Shengji, intending to protect the territory and the people, and to suppress the border of my Han Town, but Gongsun Shengji did not want to repay the king's kindness, but instead proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong, and even divided Haidong, with five counties and one country in Liaodong as Pingzhou, and called himself Pingzhou Mu. His travel honor guard is like the supreme, and he seals the altar to worship the sky, and posthumously seals his grandfather......"
Before Ma Han finished speaking, he heard Yang Biao's angry voice: "If you act like this, you should be punished for conspiring against him!" β
This Yang Taiwei was born in the famous Hongnong Yang family, specializing in "Shangshu", and paid the most attention to etiquette. He may not care about the self-proclaimed Liaodong Marquis and Pingzhou Mu or something, but the honor guard overstepping, sealing the altar to worship the sky, and chasing the grandfather can touch his ideological bottom line, how can he not be angry.
Ma Han immediately said: "Exactly, as a Han minister, his heart is towards the Han family, and he is even more ashamed to be in the company of rebellious ministers and thieves." Therefore, the old department loyal to the Han family was summoned, and the Gongsun clan was punished, and the law of the country was corrected, and the prestige of the country was revealed. After that, he took out a copy of Gongsun Du's notice when he was first called the marquis, as well as the seals of the marquis of Liaodong and Pingzhou Muzhi, and presented it to Liu Xiejun.
Ma Han naturally expected to be questioned before he came, so he was prepared, but he didn't expect that it was the Son of Heaven who questioned first. This is better, directly show the evidence, and solve the problem at one time. With the Son of Heaven as proof, the page of his seizure of Liaodong will be turned forever, and no one else will find fault with it.
The facts are all there, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, in front of the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the three important ministers, Gongsun Du is completely characterized, and he can't turn over anymore.
Liu Xie announced on the spot: "The edict ordered Ma Jun to surprise the dragon, to guard Liaodong, supervise five counties and one country, and seal the ......"
Before the general could say anything, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The Son of Heaven, who had already looked like a frightened bird, trembled, and suddenly felt the cold pain of the little cock like a pinprick, and his face turned green and shrank to the corner of the car.
The ministers and the few guards also hurriedly protected the Son of Heaven's chariot.
Ma Han unhurriedly put the iron shackle back on and buttoned it. At this time, the rider had galloped nearly ten paces away, and several knights jumped down without waiting for the horse to stop, bowing their heads to the horse and kneeling: "My lord, there are two armies that want to rob us of the spoils, Zhou Sima and they reasoned, the other party's attitude is arrogant, and Zhou Sima has clashed with them." β
Ma Han remained silent and asked, "Which two armies are they?" β
"A self-proclaimed Jiande general Li Le; A self-proclaimed Zuo Zhonglang general Song Guo. β
Liu Xie and all the ministers were shocked, how could these two ...... Well, it seems like these two do a lot of things.
Ma Han let out a long laugh and turned over his horse: "Let's go, and look at what these two wolf-mouthed generals look like." (To be continued......)
