"It's been a long time since we last met. It should be okay to say 'I'm back' to her now..."
"Perhaps it would be better if you added in the book, 'I won't leave when I come back this time.'"
"No, maybe I have to leave in the short term, because our 'roots' are not here, and it will take a long time for this place to become our 'roots', let those bastards like grass bandits do it."
What a waste."
"That proves that your requirements for military discipline in the army are too strict. It is actually necessary to relax appropriately."
"It's not like there are no slaves of other races, both male and female. We guarantee to satisfy their various tastes..."
"That's not enough. They still want to start a family and pass on the family line."
"How can we have a family if military discipline is so bad? At least who will own the children we give birth to? Or are you willing to let me be Xiao Lingqi's father?"
"I'm sorry, please don't let that person in your family reach out to my lovely daughter!"
Although I habitually crooked the building again, my excitement will not change.
Because three months, nearly three months since Li Shushi made the order to launch a full-scale attack on the Guanzhong forces, he could finally stand in front of this thousand-year-old capital.
Because three years, nearly three years since Li Shushi said goodbye to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an and sent troops to the Western Regions, he finally stood in front of this thousand-year-old capital again.
This is Chang'an, the center of Guanzhong, and the place where the dream of the Han Dynasty and even the unified dynasty of the Central Plains began.
Although the city in front of you has become dilapidated due to countless turmoils, nothing can conceal the majestic and majestic atmosphere here that can never be erased.
Standing in front of Chang'an, you feel so small, because you feel like you are being looked down upon by a giant. That is the sight of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty who created the beginning of the Han nation.
Standing in front of Chang'an, you feel that you are so great, because when you realize that you can become the new master of this place, the uncontrollable ambition in your heart is expanding and burning.
From Bingzhou to Guanzhong, this road may not have been trodden by ancestors, but it has been set foot on by descendants. And those descendants even created a civilization that was more splendid than the Han Dynasty today. It was a splendid civilization that made the world stunned.
, that is a country where all foreigners regard having a green card as the highest honor.
Maybe no one would see this originally, but now there is such a special existence outside Chang'an City.
Therefore, his inner agitation far exceeds that of others.
It's probably equivalent to getting a promotion and a salary increase. Becoming a general manager. Becoming a CEO, marrying Bai Fumei...
Thinking about it, I still feel a little excited.
"Wen You, was it you who let His Majesty go?"
At this time, there were only three people standing next to Li Shushi. Apart from Lu Bu, there were only three people - Su Xiaoluoli, who would not be missed, Nero Jiang, who would not leave no matter how hard Su Xiaoluoli used her eyes to drive her away, and Nero Jiang, who was being questioned by Li Shushi now.
Li Ru Li Wenyou.
The man who disappeared from the chaotic city of Chang'an and was never heard from again.
"My lord, you are the one who can inherit the will of Enxiang, so Ru does not want you to follow the path that Enxiang once walked."
"I am not Dong Zhongying, and the Bingzhou Army is not the Xiliang Army. The world now is very different from that of the time when the princes allied forces."
"But the Bingzhou Army still has a strength that makes Er Yuan and other princes tremble, giving them a reason to join forces."
"If the emperor is in the hands of other princes, they won't be able to unite! The Bingzhou Army will become the biggest rebellion!"
"Ru's views are exactly the opposite of those of my lord."
"Wouldn't this be the case?"
"Confucianism, I would like to ask: If a prince from a certain family orders the Lord to rebel, how should the Lord respond?"
"Either we can use all the strength of the whole country to fight a quick victory, or we can use high walls and deep fortresses to dampen the enemy's spirit, and then we can sort out our internal affairs and wait for the changes in the world."
"If my lord has high walls and deep fortifications, the enemy will always have millions of troops but no chance to take advantage of them. There are many conflicts among the princes. As time goes by, they will become like a coalition of princes and attack each other. Then my lord can march eastward and take over the world."
"Why didn't Dong Zhongying come out of Hangu again and conquer the world?"
"At the beginning of the En Prime Minister's term, he was very high-spirited and complacent, thinking that with the new emperor, he could command the world. Who would have thought that in a battle at the Gate of the Gate, divine thunder fell from the sky, killing most of the bodyguards, and there were also ministers in the DPRK who hindered the rear, so the ambition was reduced.
, I have lost my courage and only want to be a rich man. Now my lord is not too ambitious, so I can just wait for the changes in the world with a normal heart."
It sounded reasonable, and Li Shushi felt that he didn't have the strength to refute it for a while.
But he still vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find what the problem was.
"I am one of four people in the world, and Guanzhong is the land of kings and hegemons. I am afraid that all the princes in the world will regard me as their biggest enemy. This is like a sword hanging above my head, and I will feel the glow all the time.
I’m carrying it.”
"In this matter, hasn't my lord already thought of a countermeasure? Ru Ke is very impressed."
Eh? Am I so powerful? Li Shushi said that he really has the ability to take one step and see three steps. You must know that after such a long period of experience, Li Shushi has long admired the super counselors in history.
It’s not that he didn’t touch their bottom line, Li Shushi felt that the only way he could end up in trouble was to be played to death.
Hey, who says that his intellectual potential is only four times that of a mere 9? He is a bad student who has failed the test.
"Why didn't I know when I would make such a thoughtful move that you could use?"
"Haha, the master's thoughts are naturally not something that Ru can guess. But Ru has already done the things. Even if the master wants to regret it, there is nothing he can do. It is better to think about how to deal with it. Of course, these things are
Ru has made his own decisions, and if the lord wants to punish Ru, Ru will never say anything. But Ru’s family still asks the lord to take care of him, so Ru can rest in peace."
"Very good, very good. Li Wenyou, you are so stubborn that you are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. You even resorted to threats."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Confucian scholars are supposed to follow Enxiang, and then they framed their former colleagues in every possible way, and even did some extraordinary things to you without telling the Lord. What else should I miss? Well, maybe there is only the inability to
See the day when, my lord, you inherit Eun-sang’s will and achieve what Eun-sang wanted to do but was unable to do.”
"Okay! Li Wenyou, you want to die, don't you? Hehehe, I won't let you succeed! You should know a little bit about what happened to Cheng Zhongde when he offended me. Don't worry. You will be worse off than him. But you
Don’t worry, I won’t squeeze you to death, absolutely not!”
Looking at Li Ru's pale face, Li Shushi said that he always felt that something was not right.
Hmm. I always feel like there’s something wrong with the way a certain loli looks at me.
Sure enough, people with low IQ have to face strange looks like this.
However, the emperor's failure to obtain it did make Li Shushi somewhat unprepared.
However, it’s really only a little bit, and it’s not just trying to make someone look fat.
Although Li Ru was a ruthless counselor, there were also many smart people in the Bingzhou Army.
Although Li Ru was not actually punished, he also knew that some of his actions were indeed "overstepping", so he consciously did not continue to follow Li Shushi, but hid in an inconspicuous military tent.
Maybe this was his way of protecting himself. After all, no matter how he defended himself, he was the murderer of an orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty. No matter where the little emperor went, he asked Li Shushi to execute him on this charge. Now
It was difficult for Li Shushi to have an excuse to save him, especially since Li Shushi had no shortage of excellent counselors around him.
Therefore, it is the safest way to stay away from the center of power in Bingzhou and hide yourself from the court.
Perhaps as he said to himself, he is no longer the same person who pursued fame and wealth. Now he doesn't have much care in his heart, and what is left is just the last trace of obsession.
Apart from that, does he have other pursuits?
He felt that he was not Jia Xu, and as long as he could live, he could do anything. At least, his youth, his passion, the things he had pursued even if he had to sacrifice his life, passed away together on the day Dong Zhuo died.
This kind of thinking seems a bit sorry for my family.
But in the eyes of the world, maybe he should be such a selfish person.
Li Shushi, who parted ways with Li Ru, then walked into an extremely large military tent.
"My lord has arrived!"
Following the angry roar of Pan Sen, who had been guarding the door of the tent, Li Shushi could clearly hear the "swish" sound coming from inside the tent, making him somewhat like the famous bald man in the TV series.
Keshen's rush.
Of course, this statement is extremely unlucky.
In addition to the familiar generals such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Hua Xiong, and Xu Huang, as well as wise and resourceful people like Jia Xu, Ju Sue, Fu Xie, and Guo Jia, there were also many strangers in the big tent.
Face - such as bowing your head next to Guo Jia
The pensive Xun You, such as Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, the two veteran generals of the Xiliang Army standing next to Huang Zhong, and Ma Teng, another powerful member of the Xiliang Army who had just defected to Bingzhou, stood next to Hua Xiong.
Another example is a few strangers near the door.
Although I couldn't sit down one by one, I knew that Li Kan, Cheng Yin, Duan Xuan and others would probably not be surprised.
Among them, Li Kan and Ma Wan took the initiative to surrender and took advantage of their fellow villagers to persuade the strongman Cheng Yin, who was also from Hedong. Duan Xuan and Yang Qiu were forced to surrender under the pressure of the huge army.
Of course, these two were able to see the opportunity quickly and finally saved their lives. As for other small warlords like Zhang Heng and Liang Xing who had neither wisdom nor luck, they naturally became the only ones buried in this great chaos.
end.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for them, the soldiers would probably feel that such a battle was really boring - there would be absolutely no meritorious deeds that would be interesting to mention.
These are all the participants in the big tent, and they are also the main generals who will participate in the siege of Chang'an.
Of course, in addition to these people, there are also local powerful forces such as Qu Yan, Yin Feng, and Liang Kuan, as well as Hu Qi from the vassal states of Juyan and Zhangye, who will all gather under Chang'an City to participate in this grand event.
in the war.
However, their status determines that they cannot appear in such an occasion for the time being. After all, if they do not need to show their faces in front of Li Shushi, Li Kan and Cheng Yin, who are demoted generals, are not qualified to come here.
Without a higher status and background, nor strong strength, if they cannot make a comeback with great efforts in the future, it is basically impossible to get ahead.
After the meeting, there will naturally be generals assigned tasks by Li Shushi who will convey their tactical intentions and combat strategies to the various forces under his command, but that is no longer an area that Li Shushi will interfere with.
"Today, we are all gathered here to defeat the rebels Li Jue and Guo Si. Here, I would first like to express my personal gratitude to those in the Xiliang army who understand the righteousness and understand the situation clearly.
"Leave the traitors and stand on the side of justice. I believe you will understand in the future that our Bingzhou Army is a united group and a victorious group..."
Although Li Shushi's opening remarks seemed full of flaws, since he had betrayed the Xiliang Army and embarked on the "thief ship" of the Bingzhou Army, several newcomers also showed a considerable degree of recognition of Li Shushi's opening remarks.
At least Li Shushi did not show an overly condescending attitude in his attitude. It can even be said that he showed a quite polite attitude towards "old friends" like Zhang Ji and Fan Chou - of course these two were not wrong.
Although I understood Li Shushi's attitude, this feeling was undoubtedly warm to the two people, especially Fan Chou, who were marginalized by Li Jue and Guo Si.
As for Ma Teng...
Li Shushi felt that even compared with Li Kan, who had a small role as a candidate, the relationship between him and Ma Teng seemed a bit awkward - even though they were sitting not far from each other, they never dared to look at each other.
The other person’s face.
This is not because of any adultery between the two, it is completely embarrassing in the true sense.
This was entirely caused by what Ma Chao said.
In order to explain clearly the ins and outs of this matter, we must first talk about Ma Teng’s family composition.
Ma Teng now nominally has four sons - the eldest son Ma Chao, the second son Ma Dai, the third son Ma Xiu, the fourth son Ma Tie, and a pair of somewhat young daughters, well, they are the familiar Ma Yunlu and Ma Yunyang.
Among them, Ma Dai is not Ma Teng's biological son, but Ma Teng's ancestral son, which means that Ma Teng and Ma Dai's father have the same great-grandfather, and Ma Teng's grandfather and Ma Dai's great-grandfather are brothers.
Well, originally the blood between the two people was already somewhat sparse, but Ma Dai, like Ma Teng, both had their fathers die young and had to support their mothers alone at a young age. Therefore, he was already somewhat famous when he defected (although he was still
When Ma Teng, a traitor, Ma Teng not only did not refuse, but because he saw his past self in him, he adopted him as his adopted son and served him everywhere.
Ahem, as for whether this is good or bad...
Ma Chao, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are naturally Ma Teng's cubs, but these three brothers were not born to the same mother - Ma Chao's mother was a Qiang girl, and not long after giving birth to Ma Chao, she contracted a cold due to her weak body and died.
Go west, Matena
After all, he did not have much status at that time, and naturally he could not hire famous doctors or Feng Shui practitioners or Taoist priests who were proficient in medical skills or Qihuang. Therefore, he not only had a physical affection for the eldest son, but maybe also mixed with a little attachment to his deceased wife.
(Mysterious voice: This is not a little bit, it is enough to reach the level of perversion!)
Ahem, let’s not mention the roar of the mysterious voice for the moment. Both Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are the flesh and blood of Ma Teng and his stepmother, and this stepmother is a person from Guanzhong who has gained some status after Ma Teng gained a certain status.
Married by force...in a powerful family.
Just like Mr. Zhang, the little girl looks young and beautiful, but he is so hungry and thirsty that he can't sleep at night, so... you know. Then cook the rice, and add Ma Teng.
With a large number of generals at his disposal, no one dared to question the legality of this marriage.
Besides, the custom of snatching marriages was still prevalent in many areas of ancient China. Isn’t that true?
So the two of them are still runny-nosed brats, and it's absolutely no fun to play with them.
Huh? Did you say something strange? Forget it, those are not important.
As for the two sisters Ma Yunlu and Ma Yunyang, they were born to the daughter of a beautiful Qiang tribe leader. Although the girl could only be regarded as a concubine with little status in Han people's etiquette, but considering that the Qiang leader
Support for Ma Teng, and Ma Chao's love for his sister who also has more Qiang blood flowing through her body, whether it is the Qiang girl or the two infants, they are still treated quite well in the Ma family
Not bad.
Of course, the two young ones who had not been attacked by possible murderers had already been closely protected by Ma Chao. This made a father who was planning to consider a part-time job as a daughter-in-law sigh for a long time.
Well, having said so much, you should have already figured out the true face of a certain ghost father.
(Ma Teng: Please call me a moral and loving father.)
It can be said that judging from the "history of blood and tears" narrated by Ma Chao and the tacit attitude of a certain father, fortunately in this era there are neither high-tech equipment such as cameras nor magical equipment such as memory crystals, otherwise it would be difficult to protect a certain ghost father.
I will learn from the father of a certain zombie eldest lady and give our future "Mighty General" a coming-of-age photo album that is so shameful that it can be thrown into the trash heap of black history.
Just think about the various shameful cosplay photos of beautiful boys in a room, and I always feel that they can blind all the innocent eyes.
It was truly a magnificent existence.
Of course, even without so many high-tech things, Ma Chao and Ma Dai, especially the former, also encountered many humiliating experiences, such as physical examinations, physical examinations, and physical examinations.
Ahem, in short, the precocious naughty boy met a father who took care of him a little too much, which seriously challenged the naughty boy's premature dignity, and as a result, he entered the rebellious stage - that's probably what happened
.
"Ahem, Shu Shi, can we start studying how to conduct this battle?"
Although Xiaoqiang's moral integrity in private has been lowered to a considerable extent by Li Shushi, well, Su Xiaololi also definitely contributed. But probably because of his own moral integrity, Xiaoqiang's moral integrity in public seems to be on the rise.
.
Well, of course it's possible that he wanted to play a slightly more positive role in front of his daughter.
It's a pity that even so, it's easy for a loli to find a place to hack him.
"This time we have only one target, and that is the two leaders of the rebellious party, Li Jue and Guo Si!"
Everyone present has no objection to this point. With the massive invasion of Guanzhong by the Bingzhou Army, the original Xiliang Army has already been torn apart. The only one who still bears the name of Xiliang Army is now trapped in Chang'an City.
The two Li and Guo.
It can be said that as long as Li Guo and Li Guo fall, the Xiliang Army, a glorious group that once left huge waves in the late Han Dynasty, will be completely swept into the past. Those who were once part of that group and now rebel will also
Calm down.
Therefore, to bury the Xiliang army, Li Guo, the two biggest successors, must be buried with them.
However, how many people will these two former Xiliang generals bury with them before they die? (To be continued...)
