Chapter 492: News from the Liu Family
"What are you talking about, is what you said true?" Ximen Yan sat behind and looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief. Zhao Yun was the only one left here, Xiang Yu left early under the pretext of checking the vigilance of the soldiers, even if these princesses were approachable and had no shelves, Xiang Yu didn't have the time to serve these people. Xiang Yu couldn't get along with these princes and nobles, although he himself was also a prince and nobleman, but the princes and nobles who died in his hands were really uncountable.
"Yes, everything the Admiral said is true. Zhao Yun looked at everyone without changing his face, he didn't know that these high-ranking princesses had been isolated from the world for a long time, and they didn't know what was happening outside. Especially Ximen Yan, who had been paying attention to Yuwen Chengdu for a long time, but she didn't expect Zhao Yun to tell her today that they were all members of the Liu family army and Liu Fan's subordinates, and they also told the master the news that Liu Fan was going to get married.
Ximen Yu looked at Zhao Yun with a sad face, since they were imprisoned in the imperial turmoil, there has been no news of Liu Long. Now that I heard that the Liu family had taken root in the south, I wanted to ask Zhao Yun about the news of Liulong, but my lips moved several times and finally I didn't say it. However, Ximen Yan saw Ximen Yu's thoughts, and asked in a slightly low tone: "How is the Liu family? How many people died in that chaos?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said to Ximen Yan: "The situation is not very good, the Liu family army has suffered heavy losses since the beginning of the turmoil in the imperial capital, and there are even ten children in the clan, even a dozen brothers of the lord, and now there are only a few minor brothers left in addition to the lord and the eldest son." But there are a lot of sisters and sisters in the lord, and they are very safe. As for the second question asked by the fourth princess. I will not be able to answer. Because after that turmoil, our Liu family army was not able to step into the imperial capital. ”
Zhao Yun told the four older princesses everything he knew, and each of them had an incredible expression on their faces, they didn't expect that so much had happened in the more than two years they had been locked up. Especially Ximen Yu, his face turned pale with fright after hearing about Liu Long's cripplement, and the small news of the death of the children of the Liu family made Ximen Yan also surprised, only the Liu family could change the fate of the royal family, and now there are not many people left in the Liu family.
"The Liu family now has two states and more than one million troops. Then they didn't attack the imperial capital?" The rapid development of the Liu family more or less made Ximen Yan feel a little relieved, the Liu family was not eliminated by Zhang Rang, which was good news for her, at least the royal family was saved. But what puzzled her was that since the Liu family already owned the land of two states, and there were armies such as Yuwen Chengdu and Zhu You in the north, why didn't Weishenme directly attack the imperial capital?
Zhao Yun smiled helplessly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we have just pacified the land of the two states not long ago, and the Liujia army has a million troops, but how many troops does Zhang Rang have in his hands? Not to mention that there are many new recruits in our Liujia army." These people can't be compared with the army in Zhang Rang's hands at all, not to mention that Zhang Rang still occupies a geographical advantage. One million troops, this is already the limit of the expansion of our Liu family's army. The land of Yangzhou and Jingzhou cannot provide us with enough armor, and now the weapons and armor of our Liujia army are not complete, and the combat effectiveness of our Liujia army has been seriously limited. ”
"And there is one more thing that the lord has to think about carefully. The Sea Clan has attacked Yizhou, and the naval corps in Yizhou has been wiped out, and the Jiaozhou Corps and the Bingzhou Corps are now also struggling to support under the attack of the demon clan and the barbarians. My lord didn't want to provoke the civil strife in the empire early, and now the Liu family army is gathering the heroes of the world to prepare to send troops to Yizhou to fight against the Hai Clan. Zhao Yun threw another explosive message to the four princesses who were completely unaware of the state of the empire.
After hearing this, the four of them all couldn't believe the fact that Zhao Yun said, the Imperial Navy Corps was completely wiped out? The Unexplained Bingzhou Corps and the Jiaozhou Corps were also defeated? Ximen Yan sat there a little godlessly, the form of the empire was already bad, and it couldn't be bad. Ximen Yan didn't even feel that there was any worse news than this, Zhao Yun sat there motionless, and the expressions of several princesses were also different.
"General, is the Liu family army really going to send troops to fight against the Sea Clan? What about the Praetorian Guards besieging Jianye City and Jian'an City? The sea clan attacked the empire, and it was an attack by the elite forces of the tribe, which was no longer something that the growing Liu family army could fight against, Ximen Yu was most worried that once the elite of the Liu family army was transferred to Yizhou to fight against the sea tribe, then Zhang Rang in the imperial capital was likely to take this opportunity to continue to attack Yangzhou, and then the Liu family army would not be able to guarantee the back road.
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "This princess doesn't have to worry, our Liu family army has already taken precautions against this." Moreover, the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion has now surrendered to our Liujia Army, and Zhang Rang also has a lot of distrust of these Praetorian Guard soldiers. Moreover, the news that our Liu family army is going to send troops to fight against the Sea Clan has spread, and now the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard who besieged us have stopped fighting, and there are even deserters. ”
When everyone heard this, they finally heard good news, the Imperial Praetorian Guard was the guarantee of the Empire after all. They haven't given up on the empire yet, as long as they have them, the empire will be able to make a comeback one day. Ximen Yan couldn't help but think of what her father said before he died, if he really needed the throne, he could even give it to Liu Fan, what secrets were hidden in this? Could it be that his father was really so godly that he had already expected Liu Fan to have today's achievements? But all this was weishenme? How to explain all this?
"Is Liu Fan really going to get married?" Ximen Yan suddenly asked a question that made everyone a little clueless, no one knew what Ximen Yan was thinking, only Ximen Yan himself knew. If it is really as predicted by her father, then the only thing their Ximen family can rely on at present is the Liu family, she must firmly tie the Liu family to her chariot, and there must be no second Zhang Rang, and all this must pay a price, and the only thing that Ximen Yan has now, what can be used is her body.
"Yes, the generals and I rushed back from the north after receiving the lord's conscription order, and the lord will marry Yang Yayue, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Wenwu, He Ying, the county lord of Heyuan, the county lord of Xia Xuelian and Sun Yan of the four great families of Yangzhou, and the date of the wedding is on the twentieth day of August in the lunar calendar, and there are still eight days to go. ”
"Political marriage!" Ximen Yan keenly discovered something from Liu Fan's marriage, behind every bride represents a shili, and these shili can help Liu Fan further strengthen his strength. Yang Yayue can bring Liu Fan the military heart and the hearts of the people in Yizhou, and He Ying is able to collect He Muping's old loyalty, and even be able to receive some hidden deep blood drops, the value of these people is no longer comparable to the army of a city or a division, Xia Xuelian stands behind the Pingdong Wang family, and behind Sun Yan is Yangzhou's local shili, this is a political marriage.
