Chapter 045: Strike
I'm Liu Bei.
This time, it was Zhang Jiao's turn to be nervous. He is also worthy of doing great things, and he has not forgotten the trump card in his hand because of this.
"General Dong." Zhang Jiao said slightly politely: "You and I have no grievances, and the owner of this village does not want to make enemies with the general." How about we make a pact? β
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Tie up the general, don't talk about everything!" β
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and ordered the unties. With his martial arts, there was no need to worry that Dong Zhuo would wait for an opportunity to escape. And Dong Zhuo didn't mean to run away,
"All the people in the White Snake Village sent General Dong down the mountain, and then the owner of the village led the people to leave here, so that the general had an explanation for the court. What do you think? Zhang Jiao said in a rather consultative tone.
Such hypocritical words are straight to me, and I do evil! It's really two toads, calculating shameless deals.
"Well said!" Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and replied with a big belly. Step by step, striding down the stairs to us.
"Eh, General! Isn't it a brother? Zhang Jiao asked.
With a wave of Dong Zhuo's fat hand, Li Ru ordered Zhang Liang to be released. At the same time, Guo Bijun was also released.
The prisoners of both sides were returned to their respective teams.
When Dong Zhuo passed by, he saw that I was wearing a folk uniform. Asked Li Rudao: "What person?" β
"Lu Zhonglang's protΓ©gΓ©, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."
"Oh? Faux pas. Where do you find your job now? Dong Zhuo said with some seriousness.
"White body!" I arched my hand. Because he was unhappy in his heart, he was too lazy to report to his home.
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo's face turned gloomy, and he went down the mountain with disdain. Li Ru, Hua Xiong and others followed closely.
Seeing the whole process of this shameless agreement, I can't help but feel upset in my heart. Seeing Dong Zhuo so powerful, he sighed in his heart that he shouldn't have saved him.
"How can this be true? I'm angry! Zhang Fei shouted. As he spoke, he was about to catch up.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?" Guan Yu said.
"If you don't kill this guy, you will be blinded by him." Now I have to listen to his orders, I want to tear this guy! Zhang Fei shouted with thick eyebrows.
Dong Zhuo heard Zhang Fei's words and turned his head and glared angrily. Zhang Fei opened his eyes angrily and did not give in. Guan Yu blocked his sight and said, "He is an official of the court, how can he kill without permission?" β
Seeing Dong Zhuo leave angrily, he stopped in front of Zhang Fei and said, "Wouldn't killing him dirty the hands of the virtuous brother?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Jiao staring at this side.
"The old man thought who could break the Big Dipper Array, but it turned out to be you again!"
"Well said!" I replied dismissively.
"What a sinister villain. A few days ago, he also traded with Benzhai and promised to fight against the Han soldiers. Now he is helping the Han army to attack the cottage, and he is really the first untrustworthy villain in ancient and modern times. Zhang Jiao scolded hatefully.
"Zhang Jiao! You talk nonsense, I can treat you as if you are farting. But don't think of yourself too much. Because you have already fallen into my hands twice. Haha......"
After speaking, he pulled Guan Zhang and the two of them to quickly follow the Han army in front. If you don't flash again, you may be killed by him.
****** ****** ******
By the narrow road at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark. Dong Zhuo had already led his troops back to the boundary bridge. Only Hua Xiong remained.
"My brother-in-law promised that my younger brother would learn martial arts here for half a year, and Brother Liu, Second Brother Guan, and Third Brother Zhang would give me more advice." Hua Xiong is a few months younger than Guan Yu, but older than me and Zhang Fei, and now he calls himself a younger brother, of course, he hopes to learn more skills from Guan Yu.
"You're not afraid that Dong Zhuo's old thief will trouble you?" Zhang Fei asked.
"With my brother-in-law here, my younger brother is not afraid of this. The father-in-law is actually good, don't misunderstand Brother Zhang. After Hua Xiong finished speaking, he pulled me aside and whispered: "Brother-in-law wants my younger brother to pass the word, the general of the Che Cavalry is small-minded, I just heard that Zhang Fei was going to kill him, and I will definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult in the canyon after returning to the capital." The brother-in-law means that if Brother Liu wants to be the patriarch here, this White Snake Cottage must be occupied, and this narrow road must be set up with high-rise barriers in case of accidents. β
Of course, I knew in my heart that what Hua Xiong said was that Dong Zhuo instigated Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to send troops to encircle and suppress the canyon.
"Brother Liu, this is something that my brother-in-law gave you." After Hua Xiong finished speaking, he took out a white linen cloth from his waist.
After taking the unfolded view, it is the deployment map from the canyon to the boundary bridge mountain crossing. After a cursory look, the entire layout is based on the canyon, with a base camp set up in the White Snake Village, and various defense facilities are built around it. At the same time, a small castle tower was set up at the exit from the canyon to Jieqiao Town. A trick is a trick, and if you build fortifications like this, the canyon will really become impregnable. If I had to design it, it wouldn't be so comprehensive.
I have endured Li Ru's friendship. In the future, Dong Zhuo's army will be defeated, and he must try to go to Chang'an to rescue him in order to repay today's kindness.
Back in the canyon, there's a whole bunch of things to take care of.
The first is the funeral of Elder Baili. After consulting the third grandfather and Elder Shan, it was decided to hold a family funeral. The funeral was held for three days.
The second is the rebellion of Zhao Youfu. Now that he is dead, there is no longer any accountability for his followers. Now that Elder Zhao's position is vacant, he wanted Zhao Zangmang to succeed him, but he was afraid of putting on the psychological burden of killing his father and seizing the throne, so he finally canceled this plan.
In the end, a large amount of gold was found in the dark pavilion of Zhao Youfu's private warehouse, and a little calculation showed that he was short of the amount, so all of it was confiscated.
Again, Elder Shan's Infernal Affairs. It turned out that he and Elder Baili had long been aware of Zhao Youfu's loss of treasury gold. Therefore, it was decided to let Elder Shan take refuge in him and then take the opportunity to act. Unexpectedly, Zhao Youfu would rebel and seize the throne. Thinking of this, I really sighed at Elder Baili's deep planning. His death means my greatest loss.
Now the old system in the clan has changed beyond recognition with the vacancy of the positions of the two elders and the addition of a new system of clan soldiers and army. Moreover, the White Snake Village has been empty after Zhang Jiao left, and it has been occupied by Guan Yu and his army. The actual territory of the canyon has almost doubled, so it is time to establish a new patriarchal system.
Now that the military and political power of the entire canyon is in my hands, the previous resistance no longer exists. Therefore, how to create a new clan law has become the most important thing at present.
Out of the consideration of competing for world dominance, the purpose of this restructuring is to enhance the military capability of the canyon and lay a solid foundation for future uprisings.
The canyon is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this time the fortifications were built on a large scale according to Li Ru's design plan, with the goal of building the canyon into one of the strongest bases in the city. Thinking of this, my heart is even more secretly happy.
However, in addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were two enemies of 10,000 people, Deng Mao, Qiu Ming, Ting Baihu and others were all second-rate generals. Therefore, there is an urgent shortage of domestic affairs talents.
Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have met each other, it is too difficult to bring them in. First of all, except for the golden sign of Gaozu's bloodline, he has no strength and no connections. If you want to recruit great talents, you can only wait for the opportunity.
As a result, the canyon is intended to be built into a talent reserve.
After YY, I got down to business. Enactment of clan law.
