Chapter 174: A Beautiful Boy
"This is the key to the subordinates' concealment and seizure of Anyi!" Liu Wei asked about Wenxi and Yi, Xu Shu hugged his fists and said to him: "In the area of Hedong, I heard that His Highness has marched into the salt prison, and many officials are willing to join him, and these people have already agreed with the envoys sent by his subordinates that when His Highness sends someone to take over the city defense, they will immediately surrender the city." Now His Highness only needs to order the officers and soldiers of the battalion to take over the city defense! ”
Having said this, Xu Shu put down his picked hands, walked to Liu Wei's side, pointed to the names of several cities on the cloth and said: "These cities are either stupidly loyal to today's puppet Han family, or Dong Zhuo's subordinates, if you want to take them down without using swords, you can only use a strategy!" ”
"What do you think about the military advisor?" Looking at the names of several cities on Xu Shu's fingers, Liu Wei asked him: "Isn't the military advisor trying to ......?"
"Exactly!" Before Liu finished speaking, Xu Shu nodded and replied: "Your Majesty has already ordered people to pretend to be Wang Yi's entourage, and ordered these officials to go to Lianshui to wait for the transfer. His Highness delayed for several days in Lianshui, but he did not see these people, because His Majesty had already ordered people to wait halfway, and captured them to Anyi to wait for His Highness's whereabouts! ”
"The military advisor is thoughtful!" Raising his eyes to look at Xu Shu, Liu Wei said to him: "Immediately order the partial battalion to take over the defense of the city that has been surrendered to Chengcheng in various places, and in addition, all the officers and soldiers of Hedong who have handed over the defense will be concentrated ten miles north of Anyi, and this king will reorganize them." The strong are assigned to the main force, and the old and weak are incorporated into the partial battalion! As for those officials who are unwilling to surrender, order someone to kill them quietly! Loyal ministers and masters, even if they promise to return at this time, I am afraid that they are not the same, and it will be a disaster to keep them after all! ”
"No!" Xu Shu hugged his fists and bowed in response, turned around and walked out of the study.
After Xu Shu left, Liu Wei walked to the low table in the study and sat down. Reaching out and dragging a book from the pile of books on the side, he flipped through it casually.
Flipping through a few books at random, a book with "Hedong County Chronicles" written on the cover caught his attention. Now that he has occupied Anyi, and soon the whole of Hedong will be incorporated into his sphere of power, in order to manage it well and gain a firm foothold here, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the customs and customs of the people.
"Your Highness, it's dinner time!" Looking at the county chronicles, before I knew it, it was almost dusk, Liu Biangang turned another page, and was about to continue reading, when a sweet female voice came from the door.
Hearing the young woman's voice, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and looked up at the door.
A young maid about fourteen or fifteen years old was standing at the door with her hands folded in front of her, bowing slightly, and she didn't even dare to look at Liu Wei timidly.
The maid was dressed in a dark pink dress, and because of her young age, her body was not yet fully mature, which made her look thin and thin.
"Who are you? How did you not return home? Looking at the young maid standing at the door, Liu Wei asked her, "Didn't the military advisor already send back all the servants and servants in the county government?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked her identity, and the maid bowed slightly, and replied timidly: "The original intention of the military advisor was to dismiss all our servants, but I can remember that His Royal Highness will stay in it, and it will be inconvenient if there are no servants, so the slave maid and a few sisters stayed......"
"Oh!" After listening to the maid's explanation, Liu Wei nodded, waved his hand at her and said, "You can stand down and let the soldiers bring the food to the king!" ”
"No!" The maidservant softly replied, took two steps back, and then turned and left the room.
After a while, a personal soldier walked in from outside the house and placed a pot of barbecue in front of Liu Wei.
"Go and call General Zhao Yun!" Putting down the meat, as soon as the soldiers straightened up, Liu Wei said to him: "Tell General Zhao that this king has something important to look for him." ”
The soldiers answered, and when they saw that the light in the room was gradually dimming, they first lit all the white candles in the room before exiting the room.
Looking at the county chronicles of Hedong County, Liu Wei reached out and pinched the barbecue meat from the clay pot on the side, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The barbecue meat grilled by the county government is not comparable to the meat grilled in the field when the army is fighting. The barbecue in the clay pot was smooth and delicious, Liu Wei ate while reading a book, and it didn't take long, when his hand reached into the clay pot again to pinch the meat, it was empty.
He ate a whole pot of meat, but he didn't feel too full.
"Your Highness!" Turning his head to look at the empty and greasy clay pot on the table, Liu Wei smiled self-deprecatingly, and then the voice of the soldier came from outside the door: "General Zhao has arrived!" ”
"Please come in!" Hearing that Zhao Yun had arrived, Liu Wei pushed the book on the table, stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as Liu Wei took a few steps, Zhao Yun, who was wearing silver armor, entered the house, bowed down and stood near the door with his fists in his fists and said to him: "I heard that His Highness is calling for the last general, the last general will not dare to slack off, hurry up and come here, please show your Highness!" ”
"Zilong come in and speak!" Standing in the house, Liu Wei beckoned to Zhao Yun, and when Zhao Yun approached, he lowered his voice and said shyly: "This king called Zilong to come because he wanted to go to the market with Zilong to eat a few bowls of wine." ”
"Your Highness......" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Zhao Yun's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said to him with a look of trepidation: "Our army has just taken Anyi, and there are still Wang Yi in the city who are loyal and unclear, Your Highness is going out at this time, and it is close to dark......
"Zilong rest assured!" Liu Wei smiled and patted Zhao Yun lightly on the shoulder, and said to him: "Previously, in Dayang, Yucheng and other places, there was no trace of pedestrians in the street market as soon as it was dark. The king just wants to see this Anyi, and it's the same at night! ”
"Your Highness!" After listening to Liu Wei's words, Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said to him: "Although Anyi City is a big city, most of the people are like blind ......people at night."
"Hehe, blind!" Without waiting for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to him: "The reason why the people, officers and soldiers are blind at night is not that they were born with night blindness, but that they were not well fed and clothed in the past, and they were hungry when they were children. At present, the people are like this, and it is also the mediocrity of the king's father and ancestors that makes the people miserable. ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei turned around and walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the fading sunset outside the window, and said as if talking to himself: "Officers and soldiers are fighting, if they are always limited by invisible objects at night, their military strength and combat power will be restricted!" Now that this king has gained Anyi, and if he gets Hedong in the future, he will not let the people here go hungry again! Ten or twenty years later, we will build an iron army that can fight day and night! ”
Standing in the room, looking at Liu Wei's back, listening to what he said, Zhao Yun's lips moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"This king wants Zilong to come, it is to take advantage of the evening to wander around this Anyi city to see how the people in the city spend their days at night!" As he spoke, Liu Wei stretched out his hand to untie the armor on his body and said to Zhao Yun: "You and I are just pretending to be ordinary people, wandering around the city, and I don't think too many people will recognize me and others." ”
"Obey the dispatch of His Highness!" Liu Wei insisted on going out at night, but Zhao Yun knew that it was not good to disobey, so he had to respond, follow his example, and take off the armor on his body.
"Someone!" The two took off their armor, and Liu Wei shouted outside the door: "Find two sets of coarse cloth deep clothes for this king and General Zhao!" ”
A personal soldier answered, and after a while, he walked into the house with two sets of brand-new deep clothes, bowed down and stood near the door, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there are only linen deep clothes in the county government......
"The silk coat is not cool to wear!" Liu Wei smiled, walked to the front of the soldiers, stretched out his hand to take the deep clothes, shook off the clothes and looked at them, handed one of the royal blue ones to Zhao Yun, and said to him: "Zilong has fair skin, and he is also handsome in life, wearing this royal blue deep clothes, he must be a beautiful young man." ”
Taking the deep clothes handed over by Liu Wei with both hands, Zhao Yun bowed and responded: "Your Highness praised it like this, and the general was extremely frightened. ”
"You and I are brothers!" Handing the deep clothes to Zhao Yun, Liu Wei shook off the crimson dark clothes in his hand and said to Zhao Yun: "In the future, when there are only you and me, you don't need to call yourself 'the last general', you just need to call 'me' directly or call yourself Zilong!" ”
"No!" Holding the deep coat, Zhao Yun bowed down and stood aside, watching Liu Wei take off the brocade shirt on his body and put on the crimson linen deep coat.
"Don't just watch me change, you can change it too!" Putting the deep clothes on his body, Liu Wei turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yun and said: "It's just dusk, and when I go to the street at this time, I think there are still a few wine shops that haven't closed yet!" ”
Zhao Yun replied again, and then took off the white brocade robe on his body and put on the deep clothes.
The two changed into deep clothes, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Zhao Yun who was standing in front of him with his head held high, held Zhao Yun's arm with both hands, looked at him from head to toe and said: "Changing into this clothes, Zilong is really like a beautiful boy in the folk, who would have thought that this is Changshan Zhao Zilong, who stabbed the famous general in Hedong with one shot!" ”
Being praised by Liu Wei so much, Zhao Yun lowered his head, and his expression was slightly ashamed.
"Ha Lu Ha!" Seeing Zhao Yun lowering his head, Liu Wei laughed twice, patted him lightly on the arm and said, "Zhao Zilong of the three armies of Megatron is also in such a situation!" Good! Very good! Let's go, you and my brothers, let's go to Anyi Wine Shop today, so that I can beg for a few bowls of wine to drink! ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei turned his head and walked towards the door. Zhao Yun hurriedly grabbed the long sword of him and Liu Wei from the side, chased him out of the house with the long sword, handed over Liu Wei's long sword and said, "Your Highness, walking at night, you can defend yourself with a sword!" ”
"That's right!" Looking at the long sword handed over by Zhao Yun, Liu Wei nodded, took the sword and tied it around his waist, and continued to walk towards the outer courtyard of the county mansion.
"Your Highness has General Ben by his side, and he must be safe if he comes!" Liu Wei had already taken a few steps, Zhao Yun turned his head and said to a few soldiers guarding the door: "General Ben and His Royal Highness are only walking around here, you can also find some people, change into people's clothes, and protect from afar!" ”
"No!" Several pro-soldiers responded with clenched fists, and one of them quickly ran to gather men.
Liu Wei didn't know that he wanted to go out at night on a whim, but he would make the soldiers who followed him feel like they were facing the enemy.
From the mouth of the pro-soldier who reported the news, it was learned that Liu Wei and Zhao Yun had already left the county government, and more than 100 pro-soldiers who had returned to their rooms to sleep hurriedly changed into deep clothes and chased after them with long swords.
But when they changed their clothes and ran out of the gate of the county government, there were still Liu Wei and Zhao Yun on the streets that were already shrouded in night!
