On March 24th of this year, King Li Po of Han led his troops to Jiangjun.
At this point, the battle to cross the river and enter Kansai is imminent. Unless God is acting up, there should be nothing that can stop this battle from happening.
The people who greeted the King of Han outside the city gate of Jiangjun had been waiting for a long time.
They were divided into two groups. On one side were the civil servants headed by Pei Shiqing, the prefect of Jiangjun, who had regained the dukedom of Wenxi County, and on the other side were Yuchi Gong, Bu Qun and other military generals who had just arrived in Jiangjun.
When King Li Po of Han Dynasty arrived, the literati bowed to the ground and the military generals beat their chests hard. The momentum was really big.
But for such a scene, Li Posheng couldn't express too much emotion. He had long been accustomed to the life of people surrounding him and worshiping him, but what was different from before was that since he became the King of Han, many scenes had been solemn and solemn.
A lot.
Except for Luo Shixin and a few other people who didn't know what to do, no one would follow him casually, call him "general", and then complain about it, so what he felt was actually only the feelings of the emperor and his ministers.
Divide.
Even if Li Po himself feels uncomfortable sometimes, he will not deliberately change anything, because he understands very well that a person who can get along with everyone will definitely not be a good leader. As the King of Han, he needs
What is important is sufficient majesty, not deep friendship.
People's hearts are unpredictable. There are many people who fear power and few people who are virtuous. The ancients have long written this in books, but many people choose to turn a blind eye.
So Li Po waved his hands majestically, telling everyone to refrain from courtesy. At the same time, he ordered Zhao Shixun, the second leader on the left, and Ashina Danai, the second leader on the right, to lead the troops to find a place to camp. Only Luo Shixin, Liu Jingsheng, and Zhang Jin were left with them.
Fei Qingnu and others were escorted by personal guards.
It can be seen from the names of these people that he brought out all the people he could. Xu Shiji led the army in Henan, Ashina Danai supplemented it, and there were many generals in the army.
The generals of the Wei government who came to Jiangjun to greet him also arrived. Except for Zhang Lun who was guarding Hongnong, the others were all there. Even when he proclaimed himself King of Han, the generals in the army did not gather together as well as this time.
It can be seen that the so-called hitting with all your strength is no joke.
After a little arrangement of military affairs, Li Po got off his horse and walked forward. The crowd parted like waves, but he showed the leader just right in front of the King of Han.
Li Po chose to walk into the city, and the crowd surrounded him and moved slowly.
Among the crowd, Li Po chatted and laughed with his ministers. He first asked about Pei Shiqing's health, and then said a few words of hard work to the generals, which made the ministers feel the warmth of spring.
Obviously, there are still many differences between him and a son of aristocratic families like Li Shimin in terms of behavior, but they both have extraordinary affinity, even more than that. After all, he, Li Po, has no brothers, and he does not have a father over his head.
superior.
What's more important is that this great foundation was built by him with his own hands, and no one can sit on an equal footing with him and share the honor.
After entering the city gate and walking along the corridor, Li Po rolled his eyes and turned a corner, then walked up the stairs to the city wall.
The horizons here have been broadened a lot, but the excitement caused the ministers to be a little flustered, but no one dared to stop His Highness the King of Han's "elegant exuberance".
Li Po touched the city wall with his hand, looked around, and said with a smile: "In less than a year after we left, this place has become much more prosperous. If it were not disturbed by the war in the military camp, it would probably have a bit of peace... Commander Pei deserves all the credit."
Great, hard work."
These words must have sounded unpleasant to the generals, but they did not dare to compete with the King of Han. They only stared at Old Man Pei to see what he would say.
Pei Shiqing seemed unaware, smiling gently and bowing humbly, "This is the work of Governor Zhao, and I would never dare to live here. Furthermore, to this day, without the support of the spirit of war, who can live in peace?
?”
He created a little conflict between civil and military officials, but the reason was actually ordinary. He felt that a big boss in Hedong like Pei needed to be beaten and frightened from time to time.
Seeing that Pei Shiqing was still as flawless in his responses as before, Li Po didn't think too much about himself. He just followed the words and said, "You don't have to be too modest, Sheriff. When I first arrived here, I told people that the Pei family from Hedong is here.
It is actually a blessing for the people of Jiangjun County, but now we are just following his words..."
"But you should know that the world has been in chaos for more than ten years. People everywhere are devastated and devastated. I wish there were more Pei's in the world to ensure peace. Unfortunately, there are very few people in the world who can be like Pei's. Instead, they are like beasts.
They run rampant and treat the common people like pigs and dogs, yet they all claim to be heroes, which is ridiculous."
"The Li family from Guanxi stole Xijing and used their reputation as a virtuous person to confuse the world, but in fact they are just traitors. I have been organizing the army for many years, and now I have led my troops to the south to fight against the rebellion with righteousness. I am in line with the times and the people. However, I
We have very few manpower, so we still need everyone’s help to accomplish this task... Will you, gentlemen, help me?"
So what are you willing to do or not? This is similar to a declaration of war, but not as formal. Everyone bowed to listen. As soon as the words were finished, Pei Shiqing said loudly.
"I am willing to follow the king to bring peace to the rebels and thieves, and to save the people from water and fire."
Everyone was slow for a moment, but they all responded one after another. Only Wang Ze, who was also the head of a big family in Jin Dynasty, secretly glanced at Pei Shiqing several times and said to himself, where has that gentleman who read poetry and books gone? Why does he look like this?
Is there an extra sycophant in the world?
He didn't know that the torture that the Pei family leader had to endure from the mind to the body, after going from being a subordinate of Li Tang to being under the command of the King of Han, and then taking turns to serve in Jiang County, Shangdang, was comparable to what the Wang family of Jinyang endured back then.
Worse than that.
With too many worries, I can no longer be pretentious. If I put myself in their shoes, they, the Wang family, are not the same. Otherwise, how could the leader of the Wang family be willing to risk a stone and go on an expedition with the army?
Look at how great the momentum was during the expedition to Liaodong. Have you seen the Wang family and the Pei family moving around? There are not a few children who escaped military service.
Li Pozhuang nodded repeatedly as if he was satisfied, and after a long time he smiled again: "If we are united, we can do something. I have been established in the near future. You take a look, but nothing has been accomplished. How can I be worthy of my ancestors? If I can fight.
And Ksytin is just a little bit more reasonable, don’t you think?"
His way of speaking is really hard for others to imitate, but the effect is good. When the literati feel tight, they must feel a little inappropriate. They have to mutter a few words in their hearts, but nothing is achieved? How do you expect us to live like this?
Those who know Li Po's family history may go one step further, where are your ancestors? Even if Li Guang is alive, I'm afraid he can't compare to you? Is there smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb? What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
It's just that the King of Han made a joke to show that it was a good thing to be confident, and they would naturally feel more at ease.
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then a group of people burst into laughter. In a vicious manner, just like when they followed Li Po to fight in the border counties, even in the most difficult time, His Highness the King of Han could "
"Easy" leads everyone to defeat powerful enemies. For them, the sense of intimacy is overwhelming.
Bu Qun was still so shameless. He had already squeezed Yu Chi Gong out of the way to get himself a good position closer to the King of Han. If Luo Shixin hadn't placed his body there and was so fierce, he would have been squeezed out by him.
At this time, Bu Qun put his head around and laughed, "The general has accomplished nothing, so why not the junior generals? We also want to add a general title. When the general enters Chang'an, won't we also be able to get some glory?"
"
Li Po also felt very close to Bu Qun, who had made great progress, and looked at Bu Qun who was smiling with his teeth bared and his eyes almost missing.
Of course, it sounds like a joke, but Buqun has indeed made some progress. These words are to prepare the generals. Didn't you see that everyone was laughing happily, but their ears were raised? Even Yuchi was rare.
Give it to Buqun.
Li Posui waved his hand grandly, "All the glory and wealth are here, it depends on how you come to get them."
After saying that, he slapped the battlements and chanted: "The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy in my heart. Yazhang said goodbye to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled the dragon city. The flags and paintings were withered in the dark snow, and the wind was full of drums. I would rather be a centurion than a commander.
A scholar."
"You can see the towers of Xijing from here. If you can move forward with all your strength, how can I fail you?"
Pei Shiqing, Wang Ze and others were stunned for a moment, and they smacked their lips. The poem was a good poem, but it did not match the status of the king. The meaning of the poem could also be pondered. Well, in short, it was not very suitable for the occasion, but it was undoubtedly a rare and powerful word.
.
The generals didn't care so much, and most of them couldn't understand it. They only knew that His Highness the King of Han rarely promised anything personally before the war, but this time it was different. Since it was rare, it was very precious, and the King of Han never fooled people.
.
The hearts of the solid generals were as hot as coals of fire. Even Yu Chigong's dark face turned dark red, and he was still muttering in his heart, although Bu Qun is still so annoying,
But this time I really spoke for everyone, which is good.
After showing off his "literary talent", no one dared to look into it in detail. Instead, they kept praising him. Wang Ze even asked someone to get a pen and paper to write it down himself, and then put it into the category.
The Han Dynasty Palace archives, which can be regarded as stealing Yang Xu's business, and also "flattering" to prevent Pei from being more beautiful than before.
In fact, this can only slightly boost the morale of the army. Before the war, no matter what words you use to speak, the atmosphere is still mostly solemn.
The barracks around Jiangjun County are already full, the granaries and storehouses are also very full, and grain, grass and military equipment are constantly being transported from the north.
The officials in Jiang County were so busy that even the reception banquet held for His Highness the King of Han at the county government was hasty. The generals were even more busy with military affairs and eager to obey the military orders of the King of Han.
Therefore, as soon as Li Po arrived in Jiangjun, he actually entered a busy state...
(The World Cup is here, and it is actually a strange thing to be held in Russia. Although Ah Cao has no interest in football, he still wants to watch it. Well, he is sleep deprived.)
