Chapter 39: I'm in charge here
There were still more than 4,000 soldiers waiting outside the city to register to enter the city. See this scenario. They all started swords and guns. Liu Yu shouted on the side. The soldiers who were able to stay were all full of blood. Scrappy. Even with infantry against cavalry . And there is no fear.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. said: "Don't be nervous. It shouldn't be an enemy."
Successfully took control of the city of Weiding. Integrate the West Sea Clan. Liu Ziqiu did not take it lightly. He selected some young herdsmen from the Xihai tribe who were more familiar with the surrounding situation. A troop of five hundred scouts was organized. The entire scout cavalry team was in groups of twenty people. Take turns out of town. Reconnoiter the surroundings around the clock.
Not all twenty of each group of scout cavalry stayed together. but there is light and darkness. Ming's ten people are in front. The dark ten people are behind. A distance of one hundred and ten paces from each other. Such. Even in the event of an enemy attack. It is also guaranteed that ten people can rush back in time to report the news.
Right now. A squad of cavalry appeared in the distance. But no scouts came back. Apparently the scouts had confirmed that the cavalry was not an enemy. It seems that these improvised scout cavalry are not professional enough. It doesn't matter if the other party is friend or foe. You should all come back and report the news first.
Really. When the cavalry came near. Liu Ziqiu saw it clearly. It was a group of scouts he sent out to lead the way. All with smiles on their faces. It's like a loved one. Look behind them. Liu Ziqiu understood. Tuoba Yuanju and Xiang Liduoyun are walking side by side.
The Xihai tribe is formed by the union of thirteen small tribes. Although their current strength is no weaker than any medium tribe. But in the eyes of the herders. The strength of the Dangxiang and Xianbei ethnic groups is still unattainable for them. learned that their "housemother" Tuoba Qianyu was actually the princess of the party. The excitement of these herders can be imagined. See the Tuoba Department and the Xiangli Department that married with the Tuoba Department. Isn't it like seeing a loved one?
Liu Ziqiu secretly wrote it down. When you go back, you must train the scout team strictly. The main thing is to make them understand a truth. Friends and foes are only temporary. It's not uncommon to get stabbed in the back by a friend.
In the blink of an eye. The cavalry was already in front of us. Tuoba Yuanju turned over and dismounted. Clenched his fists and said, "Liu Ziqiu. We'll meet again."
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Prince Yuanju. What wind is blowing you?"
Tuoba Yuanju didn't beat around the bush: "Come to find my sister. What about the Qianyu people."
Liu Ziqiu pointed to Weiding City behind him: "It's still lying down and hasn't gotten up."
Tuoba Yuanju nodded. said, "I'm going to take her home. Three days later, it was my rì son who married the girl on a sunny day. She can't be absent."
It is very common for a party woman to have a private meeting with her lover before she gets married. Tuoba Yuanju didn't care what Liu Ziqiu had done to his sister. Just because they're together now doesn't mean they'll be together in the future. The daughter of a tribal leader. Her marriage should be in the interests of the tribe. Tuoba Qianyu should have this awareness.
The wedding of Tuoba Yuanju and Xiangli Qingtian. It's a big deal for the Tuoba Department. Important figures from the eight departments of the party were invited. At that time, the heads of various tribes and the sons of the elders' families will also go. According to the meaning of Tuoba Mumi. To be at the wedding of Tuoba Yuanju. Set the family affairs of Tuoba Qianyu. Such. The Tuoba can win at least two alliances. The hope of unifying and integrating the eight departments of the party has increased by one point.
My brother got married. Of course my sister is coming. Liu Ziqiu didn't think about it that much at all. His gaze stayed in the middle of the line. It's right there on a sunny day. See Liu Ziqiu. The gaze is a little evasive. It's a bit resentful.
Liu Ziqiu is above board. He smiled and said, "Sunny girl. Yuanju Brothers. Liu, congratulations to the two of you. I wish you all a long life. Born a noble son early. In a while, Liu asked Qianyu to pick a few gifts for you."
Xiang Li Qingtian sighed. Didn't speak. But she knew that Tuoba Qianyu was about to face the same fate as her. The second sister is destined to have no chance with him.
"Thank you. Thank you." Tuoba Yuanju snorted haha. The conversation changed. asked. Brother Liu. I don't know if Lord Yuwen is in the city."
Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "What are you looking for him?"
Tuoba Yuanju smiled: "I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes. If you can invite Ubun-sama to attend the wedding below. Both are on the underside. Or to the Ministry of Tuoba. It's a great honor."
Liu Ziqiu laughed: "You can't invite him."
Tuoba Yuanju said unhappily: "Why. Does he look down on our Tuoba Division?"
"He can afford to look down on you. Liu is not clear. It's just that he really can't go." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. Said word by word." Because he's dead."
"Dead. How did you die?" This time it's not just Tuoba Yuanju. Even Xiang Liduoyun was taken aback.
"I didn't kill him with my own hands, though. But it's not much worse." Liu Ziqiu's tone was very flat. Right now. I'm in charge here."
Tuoba Yuanju met Liu Ziqiu for the first time. Liu Ziqiu is just a gang leader. When I met Liu Ziqiu for the second time. Liu Ziqiu has become a brigade commander. Just on the way here. He also heard from the scouts of the West Sea tribe told him. Liu Ziqiu is now the leader of the Xihai Clan.
For Liu Ziqiu's martial arts. Tuoba Yuan was deeply impressed. Personally. He is very willing to make Liu Ziqiu a friend. In terms of tribal interests. Liu Ziqiu is a brigade marshal. It doesn't matter if he's the leader of the West Sea tribe. In the Tuoba Yuanju look. None of them are worthy of their sister.
But now it's different. Liu Ziqiu killed Yu Wenjing. Occupy the city of Waiting. It's like a big guy. Tuoba Yuanju had to reconsider the relationship between Liu Ziqiu and Tuoba Qianyu. But. Tuoba Yuanju can't be the master of this matter. I still need to go back and ask my father.
Over the years. Tuoba Yuanju has always helped his father with tribal affairs. The response is extremely fast. Hear this. He was only slightly stunned. Xuan even laughed. He said, "It's better this way. Please be sure to attend the wedding below."
"Well said. Well said." Liu Ziqiu said with a smile. It's that the prince doesn't invite Liu. Liu will also go to ask for a cup of wine to drink."
Public and private. Liu Ziqiu must agree. YU Gong. What Zhao Ling said makes a lot of sense. As long as the Dangxiang, Murowei and other tribes do not support the Xianbei people. Murong Fuyun said that he couldn't make any big waves. Privately. It's his sister-in-law on a sunny day. Tuoba Yuanju is also Tuoba Qianyu's elder brother. Whether it's for the man or the woman. There is no reason to be absent.
Tuoba Yuanju also laughed. Xiang Li Duoyun, who was standing beside him, regretted it a little. I knew that Liu Ziqiu could have today. And he didn't go to the Tuoba tribe. Instead, he directly married his sister to Liu Ziqiu. Isn't it much stronger than being attached to the Tuoba Division?
Liu Ziqiu also laughed with him. waved his hand. Said: "Ji Rentai. Take the prince of Yuanju to the government office."
"Yes. Lord." Ji Rentai clenched his hands into fists. He made a gesture towards Tuoba Yuanju. Prince please."
Ji Rentai did not have cavalry. Tuoba Yuanju is helpless. I had to throw the reins to my retinue. Walk with Ji Rentai. Original. These are all the rules newly established by Liu Ziqiu. No horses are allowed in the city of Weiding. In addition to patrolling the streets of soldiers and urgent missions. No one is allowed to cavalry. You can only walk on foot or lead a horse. For the status of Witting City. Liu Ziqiu is very clear. It is an important node connecting the trade routes between the East and the West. Don't look at the depression right now. Wait for the world to be peaceful in the future. There will be a lot of businessmen coming here. The streets can get very crowded. He now forbids horses in the city. It is to let everyone adapt to the future situation in advance.
Liu Ziqiu did not accompany Tuoba Yuanju into the city. He had promised to attend Tuoba Yuanju's wedding in three days. It is necessary to seize the time to integrate the troops in place. There's a lot to be done. Can't relax for a moment.
……
Luoyang City. Li Yuan is also hurrying up. Got the jade waist card. Li Yuan can zìyou enter and exit the palace forbidden. He was in the palace last night. Although the beautiful scenery when Concubine Xiao came out of the bath made him have an endless aftertaste. But he didn't go to the harem. And they visited several lieutenants of the right reserve mansion.
The Great Sui is outside the Twelve Guards. It also set up the left and right reserve houses and the left and right prison gates. The left and right guards are in charge of the palace guards. The left and right prison gates are in charge of the palace guards. All are the emperor's pro-army. It is equivalent to the former Forbidden Army or the Imperial Forest Army.
Li Yuan once served as a thousand cattle reserves. It is equivalent to the captain of the current left and right reserve houses. Now among the captains of the Guards. Some were his former comrades. Some are still his old ministry. Over the years. Li Yuan has been quietly keeping in touch with them. But. The guards of the Zuo Beishen Mansion all went with Yang Guangxi. All he could find was the right side of the body.
A night of activity down. The effect is very obvious. The entire Right Reserve Mansion pledged to support Li Yuan. He is equivalent to mastering the power closest to the emperor. The left and right prison houses are equally important. But Li Yuanping didn't have much intersection with them. At this time, there is no time to move. He must hurry up to meet Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao also stayed awake almost all night. Both eyes are already a little puffy. Li Yuan is trying to buy power for his own use. No time to sleep. And Concubine Xiao was lying in bed and couldn't sleep. She was excited, worried, panicked, excited. All kinds of complex feelings come together. Gave her insomnia.
Yesterday, when I was bathing, I let Li Yuan see it full. This made Xiao Concubine unable to put on the prestige of the superior in front of Li Yuan. As soon as I saw Li Yuan. Concubine Xiao's face turned red. Unexpectedly, the ghost took the initiative to salute Li Yuan first. It completely reverses the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
In fact. This is the real reason why Li Yuan insisted on staying in the palace yesterday. He just wants to make Concubine Xiao make a fool of herself in front of her. In the future, I will be able to better control Xiao Concubine.
It's been a while. Concubine Xiao calmed down from her panic. He sat up straight and asked, "Master Li. Isn't it time to gather the ministers to discuss the new emperor's accession to the throne?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. There's one more thing that has to be resolved first."
