5. Please call me the head of the Xihe Mercenary Corps (Part 1)
"In fact, if you leave here, although it will affect your official reputation, it will be a very good thing for the emperor in Luoyang. At least he does not need to sleep well all night every day."
After a beautiful and caring big sister persuaded the lost ordinary boy to return to the right path, his face suddenly became serious.
"Why? Could it be that the military power in my hands has made the emperor restless? What can I do for a guy like this?"
Although Li Shushi, who comes from the era of information explosion, has already figured out what Su Xiaoluoli wants to express, it is also refreshing to pretend to be stupid and watch the beautiful woman coquettishly. Well, it would be better if you shake your body a little...
"Hmph~ You are pretending to be confused. Besides, with a successful precedent like yours, will other important towns in the Sifang frontier follow this precedent? Besides, the Han Dynasty has more than one baby emperor. Once the prefect and his relatives take over the military power,
If there is friction between eunuchs, then this alone is enough to make the big man
Falling into unprecedented civil strife. Oh, by the way, I heard from Cheng Zhongde that there is a heated discussion in the court recently about a proposal put forward by a guy named Liu Yan, hoping to reset the prefecture. If you follow the agreement between you and the emperor, the seal will be
If you become the shepherd of Bingzhou, your power will be greater than those of the royal nobles who founded the country."
Zhou Mu? Li Shushi vaguely remembered that it seemed that Liu Yan had only proposed it after the death of the governor of Yizhou, or maybe he had proposed it long ago but only passed it at that time? Li Shushi didn't have much impression of this paragraph, but
What is certain is that the power of the Zhou Mu is far superior to that of the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to not having a clear right of inheritance, the Zhou Mu is an enhanced version of the Jiedushi.
"So I have to taint myself so that His Majesty can feel at ease? I feel like this method is not very reliable..."
"No, no matter what the method is, it's a good idea to go out and have some fun."
Facing Li Shushi's questions, Su Xiaololi instantly completely defeated Li Shushi, who still had a sense of shame and ambition.
"Okay, you tell me where to go." Li Shushi felt that he had now become a typical negative example of bowing to evil forces without integrity, but bowing to Su Xiaololi didn't seem to be a very bad thing.
"Hmm~ You really need to think about it this way. There are really many places I want to visit. I want to see Yunmengze. The strange-looking deer there is delicious when grilled.
It’s also great to go boating on the Yangtze River and watch the Bayu war dance in Danqu. It’s also great to go to the South China Sea to watch the sunrise, and you can also get very beautiful beads...”
Well, I've told you all over the country, and the way your eyes are shining is so scary.
Just when Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli were bragging and spanking each other, the guards informed Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun to come and ask for a meeting.
Li Shushi was also a little puzzled by the sudden visit of these two people. After all, the competition between the two for the Zhangba Snake Spear was over. Although Zhang Xiu worked extra hard, he was still a little behind Zhao Yun. After all, although Zhao Yun's knowledge was complicated, he could not stand up to them.

He is very talented and has made great progress in actual combat after the recent series of battles. If he is focused and focused, Zhang Xiu may not even be able to make thirty moves in Zhao Yun's hands before he will be defeated. However, I don't think he will be over eighty now.
After the attack, he returned with a slight defeat.
Now that the competition has ended long ago, what else needs two people to come together? Just when Li Shushi was thinking a lot about this issue, suddenly a flash of light reminded Li Shushi of the battle taking place in the northwest, so for the two of them
Li Shushi also understood the reason for coming. But when he looked at Su Xiaoluoli, who was still talking to herself with bright eyes, Li Shushi smiled strangely.
"Lord, Xiu... Speaking of which, the situation has stabilized now, and we don't have any strong enemies for the time being, so..."
"So you want to take leave to help your uncle and abduct Zilong at the same time. I'm right. I've heard about Dong Zhongying's resurgence from Zhongde. Speaking of which, the Qiang rebellion is very fierce this time.
, Sure enough, hatred and other things cannot be solved by killing alone. Northwest, I always feel very mysterious when talking about it. So, Wen Qiao, I want to ask you a favor."
"My lord, please speak." Seeing that Li Shushi didn't show any anger, Zhang Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Yun had already lowered his attractive red face. After all, he was running away.
After all, it makes people unable to hold their heads up.
"For some unspeakable reasons, I plan to travel with Su Yu for a while. As Wen Qiao said just now, the situation in Xihe has stabilized now, so I can rest assured and be lazy. I didn't know where to go at first.
Now that you and Zilong have come here, you can avoid this trouble, and with more people, your uncle will be able to fight more easily, right?"
"My lord, are you worried about other people's gossip?" Zhang Xiu frowned. Although he had followed Tong Yuan for many years, he had used his outstanding martial arts to organize a volunteer army in Liangzhou some time ago.
His uncle Zhang Ji saw with his own eyes that Dong Zhuo had to bite the bullet and lose to Zhang Jue's army that had little combat effectiveness in order to avoid trouble. He had some understanding of these things, so although Li Shushi did not explain the reasons clearly, he
I guessed his reason.
"Yes, although I am not afraid of being distorted by my shadow, after all, one more thing is worse than one less thing. In this way, I can stay here for a few more years and do more things for the people here. The current situation is hard-won, and I don't want to I had to give up this great opportunity because of some avoidable troubles, and I hope Wenqiao can understand my views."
"My lord is overly worried. Xiu just feels a little helpless. However, after all, your majesty needs to face the numerous people in our territory, and you will have to make sacrifices in the future. But if my lord is willing to go with Xiu, that would be the best thing.
My uncle mentioned in the letter that there seemed to be many good fighters in the Qiang Rebellion, and even General Dong was in trouble, which is why I invited Zilong to go with him."
Zhang Xiu didn't have much resistance to Li Shushi's idea of running away. After all, Li Shushi's role in Xihe was more like a decoration, a decoration that made his subordinates famous. The real operation relied on the hard work of his subordinates.
Of course, it is undeniable that Li Shushi did contribute a lot in various decisions, otherwise Lu Zhi, the supervisor, would have called him out of class long ago.
And Zhang Xiu is actually very happy that Li Shushi can join. Firstly, with Li Shushi, the giant Buddha seems so insignificant against his request for leave, even with the charge of abducting Zhao Yun. Secondly, this time in Northwest China
The Qiang rebellion was so difficult that Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji, who was good at fighting, was looking for help everywhere.
The main reason for this situation is that this Qiang rebellion has not only been wiped out many times by the Han but has never been completely eliminated.
The most important thing about Lu Shuihu, who was very powerful in fighting, was that the leader of the various rebels who led the rebellion this time was Beigong Boyu from the Huangzhong area.
Let’s talk about the weakest Xianling Qiang first. This tribe can be said to be a quite ancient Qiang tribe, with a history that can be traced back to before the Western Han Dynasty. Moreover, disputes with the Han Dynasty began during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty and have continued until now. It can be said that
As long as the Han Dynasty has a history, the conflict between the Xianling Qiang and the Han Dynasty has been deep and long. They can be said to be the vanguard of hardcore anti-Han elements.
However, with the emergence of Huangfu Gui, a well-known civil and military general, and especially Duan Jue, the god of death, Xianling Qiang can be said to have experienced two major weakenings. First, they were defeated by Huangfu Gui, and more than 100,000 people had to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
, some of which were relocated close to Sanfu
The place where Xian Ling Qiang was able to accept Chinese culture. Then Xian Ling Qiang, who had gathered enough strength, met Duan Ji, the god of death. This time, Xian Ling Qiang was even worse. Last time, he still had a chance to surrender, but this time he was indeed killed by Duan Ji.
Directly slaughtering tens of thousands of young men can be said to be a huge defeat.
By the way, the battle between Huangfu Gui and Xian Lingqiang was the battle that shocked the Han people inside and outside the famous general. It was also because of this battle that the middle-aged Huangfu Gui became a famous general, and he was already famous.
Duan Jiao is juxtaposed. Another sentence is added, this
In fact, Duan Qiang, who was the captain of the Qiang Guard at the time, should have been in charge of the battle. However, Duan Qiang was also busy with battles in other areas at that time (at that time, the Dong Qiang was still in trouble with the Xiqiang where Xian Ling Qiang was).
As a result, Huangfu Gui had a chance to succeed.
With these two blows, no matter how powerful Xian Ling Qiang was, they would not be able to breathe for a while. It was only because of their sworn feud with the big man that they were driven to join the opposition again.
Among the rebels of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, compared to the other two main forces of the rebels, the Xianling Qiang, who had been defeated over and over again, was much stronger. Most of the soldiers who could fight were still teenagers, and they were far inferior in terms of combat skills and command ability.
Not as good as the top level.
Lu Shuihu, this is a super hodgepodge, you can classify them among the Huns, but they still have the blood of the Yuezhi people and the blood of the Qiang people in their bodies, so this tribe was also called Guolijie later.
Qiang. Li represents its fighting power, while Jie represents its Xiongnu and Yuezhi ancestry. However, because its main activities are in the Qiang area, it is more classified into the northwest Qiang lineage.
This tribe had a good relationship with the Han Dynasty. When the Eastern Han Dynasty was strong, soldiers from its tribe were often hired to help the Han Dynasty fight. However, Emperor Huan spent countless money and food to quell the Qiang rebellion. As a result, Liu Hong, who succeeded to the throne, jumped into the eyes of money.
Don't plan to come out again.
But this time, Lu Shuihu became a mercenary for the enemies of the Han who had no money to hire him to fight. It was normal for the generals of the Han Dynasty to have a headache when facing this Hu tribe who were quite familiar with the Han's fighting methods.
In addition, the bloodline of Lu Shuihu's hybrid breed is also partly suspected of being the blood of the Roman Eagle Banner Infantry. Although it is impossible to know whether it is true or not, Lu Shuihu can actually have extremely strong strength in the northern battlefield where cavalry is the main force.
The fighting habits of infantry are enough to make people think. Of course, if you think that their cavalry is not good, then you will die.
Just looking at these two is enough to give people a headache, so no matter how you look at Zhang Ji's battle, people can't help but worry about him. Although Li Shushi is traveling, he will bring enough people around him to prevent any accidents.
So for Zhang Xiu, whose parents died young and only had one uncle left, and his uncle's child also died young, so the relationship between the two is like that of a father and son. Zhang Xiu is undoubtedly adding an insurance policy to his uncle. Such a cost-effective thing is not natural for Zhang Xiu.
will refuse.
"Tamako-chan, don't think about it anymore. Didn't you say before that you wanted to discover the legendary Great Silk Road? So our goal for this trip will be the Sanfu area in Liangzhou, northwest of the Han Dynasty."
"Eh? What did you say?" Looking at Su Xiaoluoli with an "I'm confused" look on her face, Li Shushi suddenly felt exhausted and unable to get up again.
p.s. I probably won’t need the injection today...probably...
p.s. First update, but my condition today is quite bad, and I suddenly find it very difficult to code...
