Just when Gan Ning successfully captured the Strait of Malacca, Lu Bu was riding the Red Rabbit. The Red Rabbit stood on the bow of the Kun battleship and calmly pursued the Kushan navy that had escaped.
On the other side, Chen Xi finally successfully arrived at Mount Tai. Compared with when he left before, Mount Tai was still dazzlingly prosperous. The tall city walls, clean environment, and bustling pedestrians all made Chen Xi feel... to satisfaction.
"Marquis Chen, Sheriff Wang has come to greet you." Sitting in the carriage, he walked all the way in, and when he was about to arrive at the government office, Hua Xiong's voice appeared.
"Hey, Uncle Zhi, you look rich. This is good news. How about Taishan County guarding it?" Chen Xi jumped off the carriage and said to Wang Xiu with a smile.
"Except for paying attention to business from time to time, I am actually very free. Chen Hou and Lu Prefect have arranged everything. According to what was said in the past, Xiao Gui and Cao can just go." Wang Xiu shook his head slightly and said with a smile.
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. Now he has gradually gained his own understanding of these words. However, Wang Xiu did a good job, and it is indeed very possible to take over Lu Su's job in the future.
"Then work hard. This is where we started. You are responsible for many supplies. Zijing went to Yecheng, and you are half a housekeeper." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, and then he returned to his respectful expression again, "Marquis Chen has invited you, and a private banquet has been prepared in the back hall."
Chen Xi smiled and followed Wang Xiu towards the inside. Hua Xiong shouldered his own weapon and followed him in. How could he be left out of things like eating?
On the other side, Wu Xi took the envoys arranged by Ganassis and the envoys forcibly formed by Li Jue and traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally reached Fenggao safely.
In fact, after arriving in Xuzhou, Wu Xi and An Yu were no longer the leaders of the envoy, but Chen Deng ordered people to escort them over. Although Chen Deng also knew that it was the right way for such envoys to go to Chang'an. But Chen Deng ordered people to send him directly to Yecheng.
Wu Xi was angry with Chen Deng, saying that Li Jue ordered them to send the delegation to Liu Bei. The trick in this made Chen Deng furious.
Chen Deng and Li You have worked together for a long time, which is why Chen Deng is very clear about Li You's ruthlessness and calmness. Half of the nephews of the Xuzhou family are still serving as officials in Qingzhou, and the strength of the local family has not slowed down to this day. gas.
It is also because of this that Chen Deng is still suppressing and guiding the Xuzhou family in accordance with Li You's original request. Thanks to Chen Xi's favor, the suppressed family breathed a sigh of relief, so no major problems occurred.
However, Chen Deng's IQ also guessed that Li You might have known that Chen Xi might betray him early on, so he used this method to force through the chaotic period of Xuzhou's transition.
Chen Deng was in awe of Li You. Because he had worked with him before, he had a deep understanding of him. He was a very dangerous person. Chen Deng had also been curious about Li You's identity, but he had never thought about Li Ru.
As a result, Chen Deng's first reaction after Wu Xi's words was that Li You was Li Ru. This thought made Chen Deng furious. At the same time, he also realized that it was a good thing that he did not commit suicide. For such a terrifying person , there is no special feeling at all when you kill yourself.
Even the Young Emperor is someone who kills at will. Chen Deng really doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't be killed if he gets into the hands of the other party.
However, after having this idea, what Chen Deng felt was not fear, but a kind of excitement from the heart.
This guy who had singled out all the Central Plains was actually under the command of his lord. No matter how you say it, this is good news.
Maybe when the Eighteenth Route Princes attacked Dong, some people still thought that Li Ru was not good enough, but after Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and among the four armies, only Fan Chou defeated Lu Bu in the field.
beat.
After that, the Xiliang cavalry was like cheating, crushing them everywhere, and Lu Bu also improved his field record everywhere. This situation proved the fact that it was not Li Ru who was weak, but Li Ru who wanted to take him away in one wave.
Pick all the eighteen princes at once!
Based on the strength shown by those guys in Xiliang in the later period, Dong Zhuo was not afraid. The eighteen princes might really be taken away by Li Ru in a wave, and then forcibly take over the entire north. The only enemies left were the three Zhoumu surnamed Liu on the other side of the Yangtze River.
.
This is basically a stable and unified rhythm, but Dong Zhuo got scared...
For a guy like Chen Deng who only loves his family, no matter what Li You has done in the past, as long as this character can make his family's inheritance last longer, he will lose his integrity if he loses it.
Therefore, after Chen Deng received the envoy, he sent people to Yecheng to inform him. He did not intend to show off his carriage, but he also wanted to create established facts.
Therefore, after Wu Xi and his party entered Xuzhou, Chen Deng actually sent people to escort them all the way to Yecheng via the official road.
This is also the reason why the Roman mission was shocked all the way since entering Xuzhou. Compared with the difficulties when entering Sichuan and the bumpy boat ride on the Yangtze River, the Roman mission sent by Ganassis finally felt the powerful power when they arrived in Xuzhou.
breath.
If when they first entered Sichuan and Shu and the Land of Abundance, they felt rich and prosperous, then after traveling all the way from the Yangtze River and entering Xuzhou, they felt powerful, truly powerful.
This is a powerful empire that is no different than Rome. It walks on a wide official road. Soon after registration, the army appeared and escorted all the way to a huge city. The neat and simple city and the tall and thick city walls really revealed the imperial capital.
meteorological.
"Have we finally reached the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty?" The Roman envoy began to comment on the newly built Xiapi New City. It must be said that the prosperous Xuzhou did have the atmosphere of an imperial capital after the expansion of the new city.
An Yu translated this to Wu Xi. Wu Xi rolled his eyes. Although he was quite shocked. He had also been to Xuzhou back then. However, compared with more than ten years ago, the city of Xuzhou has changed a lot, at least in terms of momentum.
It does have a bit of an imperial capital scene.
"This is Xiapi City, which is considered to be a relatively important city among the imperial cities, but starting from here it enters the essence of the empire." An Yue translated these words to Ganassis's envoy with a smile on his face.
The envoys who just moments ago were saying that this place in Xiapi City is not as good as Rome, and that there is not as good as Rome, all shut up and looked a little ugly. This is actually just an important city. Are you sure this is not the imperial capital?
"Let's go, let's go in and take a look. The governor of Xuzhou is already waiting for us there. It will be safe when we get here." Wu Xi said with a happy heart.
I don't know when he started, but he always had the urge to slap these Roman envoys in the face who liked to comment, but this time he was finally satisfied.
