Wulihan was born in a small tribe of Rong people, which cannot even be called a tribe, because the whole tribe only has a dozen people.
If she had not met Nohara Huo, she would either have become the plaything of a certain Rong tribe, or she would have died of hunger and cold. This war not only devastated the empire, but also the Rong tribe.
Even Wulihan didn't understand why Nohara Huo treated him so well, and even his parents were sent to heaven because of it. If he coveted his own beauty, he couldn't even talk about being beautiful. Moreover, with Nohara Huo's identity, what kind of beauty could he not get?
.And throughout the whole process, Nohara Huo said that he had done nothing wrong with him, and even intended to marry him to Li Letian.
Wulihan didn't have any scheming ideas at all, and she didn't know a single word of Douda. She did whatever Nohara Huo asked her to do, and she happily lived a life of fine clothing and fine food.
But for the first time in her life, someone asked her what she wanted to do, and her mind went blank.
"How about I take you back to the grassland?" Cheng Dalei asked tentatively.
Wulihan immediately shook his head: "I don't want to go back to the grassland."
Having seen the prosperity of the empire, how could she be willing to return to a bitter and cold place like the grassland?
"Then where do you want to go?"
Ullihan was silent again.
Cheng Dalei also felt a little headache. She was not in the mood to waste too much time on Wulihan.
"In this case, you can follow me from now on. When things here are resolved, you can follow me back to Liangzhou."
"Then will you eat me?"
Cheng Dalei felt a headache coming from him, wondering how the rumors outside were spreading. He really didn't want to pay attention to Wulihan, so he walked away.
Wulihan squatted on the chair with his hands on his knees, feeling slightly relieved. It seemed that Cheng Dalei didn't eat people.
In this way, I can rest assured and finally return to the life of someone taking care of me. This is good, this is good.
He raised his head and looked at Diao Chan with sharp eyes: "Is there anything to eat?"
…
Only at this time did Cheng Dalei have time to gather with Xu Shenji, Cui Baiyu and others to discuss tonight's conversation with Li Xingzai.
"Master, why did Li Xingzai invite you over tonight?" Xu Shenji asked.
"It's okay. Li Xingzai promised me to establish myself as king in Liangzhou and let us plan for autonomy."
Cui Baiyu and others looked at each other, and Cui Baiyu said, "Li Xingzai is so generous."
"Of course it's impossible to be so generous. Li Xingzai is a very thief, how can anything be so cheap?" Cheng Dalei said: "Now Jingzhou and Yizhou don't know how to react. Li Xingzai plans to let us take care of them."
Jingzhou and Yizhou respected their own troops. Like Cheng Dalei, they did not get involved in this troubled times and preserved their own strength. It was okay for them to admit that Li Xingzai was the emperor. If they did not admit it, it would be a difficult thing for Li Xingzai.
.
"Could this be Li Xingzai's plan to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers? When both our families suffer, he will reap the benefits." Cui Baiyu.
"Even if they are tigers, they are probably toothless and soft-footed tigers, and they are not to the point of breaking our muscles and bones. What's more, this battle may not necessarily be fought." Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said: "Here, pen and ink
Wait, I sent the first letter to Liu Bei and asked him to take care of these two princes."
Cheng Dalei spoke the words, Cui Baiyu polished the writing, and handed a letter to Liu Bei.
The letter described the meeting between Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai, as well as the general discussion between the two parties. After that, he ordered Liu Bei to lead a group of people, assisted by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Zilong, to take care of the affairs of Jingzhou and Yizhou.
At this time, Cheng Dalei just remembered something. In all things, one should have a good reputation. He also wanted to ask Li Xingzai for an imperial edict and let Liu Bei do things with it.
Cheng Dalei mentioned one more thing to Liu Bei's mind. This matter can be resolved peacefully, and it is best to resolve it peacefully. Don't start a war unless you are unable to do so.
Jing Yi is difficult to fight.
Fortunately, Yizhou is a wilderness land with not much population. Jingzhou is a famous land of abundance, and it is actually a neighbor of Liangzhou. For such a silent and breathless neighbor, Cheng Dalei would not understand at all.
Because of its advantageous terrain, Jingzhou is famously easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Li Manzi swept across the world, it took a lot of effort to conquer Jingzhou, so after the city was broken, he burned, killed and looted. That's why the old Shu Kingdom
The Li family dynasty hated him to the core.
When Cheng Dalei started to handle this matter, Li Xingzai's imperial edict had already spread throughout the world.
The Rong clan previously conquered most of the empire and wiped out all the powerful families who were old friends of the empire. This saved Li Xingzai a lot of effort.
Nowadays, no one dares to offend Li Xingzai's majesty. Of course, the princes in the north responded. And Jiangnan is where Li Xingzai started his career. When his order was issued, the princes in the south responded one by one.
It took two or three months to complete this matter one after another. Li Xingzai scheduled the meeting of princes for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, which also left time for princes from all over the country to go to Beijing.
At a time when all the princes in the world were willing to serve Li Xingzai as their master, only Jingzhou and Yizhou were silent, and it seemed that they had not received Li Xingzai's imperial edict at all.
Liu Bei, who was responsible for handling this matter, personally went to Jingzhou and failed to negotiate the matter. However, Liu Bei also couldn't stand it. He decided to march into Sichuan and mobilize 100,000 Liangzhou troops to Shu, forcing the other party to sign an alliance under the city.
.
When this matter was reported to Cheng Dalei, Liu Bei had already led his troops to conquer Shu. This was a bit like killing him first and reporting later, but since the other party was unwilling to have a good discussion, there was nothing Liu Bei could do about it.
Cheng Dalei had no choice but to write back and tell Liu Bei that soldiers are deadly weapons and should be used as a last resort. Liu Bei must be cautious and cautious to minimize casualties.
Now that the world has settled down, it is time to reward according to merit. It would be a pity if someone else sacrifices.
"Master, Song Youqu is here." Xu Shenji called from outside.
After Li Xingzai settled in Chang'an, Song Youqu had already taken over the post of prime minister. When he came here, he didn't know what was going on.
Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said, "Let him come in."
Song Youqu walked in quickly, bowed and said, "I am meeting the King of Liangzhou."
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Okay, okay, get up and talk. You don't need to be polite here. Tell me, why are you here this time?"
Song Youqu said: "I am following your Majesty's instructions to ask how the war in Jingzhou is going. Your Majesty has scheduled the meeting of princes on August 15th. If the war in Jingzhou fails, I am afraid things will be a little ugly."
"This is too impatient." Cheng Dalei said: "You also know how far apart Jingzhou is from Chang'an, even if there is news, it cannot be sent here immediately. Besides, the terrain in Jingzhou is extremely difficult to conquer, and it will not be possible for a while.
What’s the good news?”
"Your Majesty is also worried about losing the battle of Jingzhou, so he wants to mobilize 100,000 Jiangnan troops to Sichuan to assist the Liangzhou soldiers in fighting. What do you think, Prince Cheng?"
