In the fourth year of Tianji, all those who returned to the country were eliminated and counties were established.
Sitting in the Tai Palace, listening to Handan Chun's jokes, Liu Qu smiled from ear to ear, feeling extremely happy. While listening, someone from Huangmen suddenly came in and informed Zhuge Linggong that he wanted to see him. Liu Qu quickly asked someone to invite him.
After Zhuge Liang came in, he walked into the Tai Palace and bowed. Liu Qu had known that he would be like this. He quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't do this. Your Majesty is my superior!"
Zhuge Liang's face looked a little bad, and he said: "Your Majesty... there are thieves invading Jiaozhou... The Jiaozhou pastor led his people to develop the mountains and forests outside the state. He did not bring any officers and soldiers, but he was attacked by the bandits. The state pastor Duwei was seriously injured.
Two thousand people were plundered...and hundreds more were killed!" For a moment, Liu Quyuan stared with a fierce look in his eyes, "What?! Who is this thief?! How dare you act like this!!"
"It should be the indigenous people outside Jiaozhou. In recent years, Jiaozhou has continuously developed the surrounding mountains and forests, and now it has become a huge state and county. However, this has oppressed the indigenous people in the mountains and forests..."
"Bullshit! Didn't I give an order that as long as it belongs to my Han Dynasty, the land should be given to the people of my Han Dynasty?! These damn people dare to hurt my state pastors!!" Liu Qu gritted his teeth and looked furious, making him
He became extremely scary. Zhuge Liang was not short, but he still looked very thin in front of Liu Qu. Liu Qu's momentum was too oppressive. Seeing the emperor look so angry.
"Your Majesty...the ministers are waiting in the Houde Hall..."
"Let's go!" Liu Qu shouted and walked towards the Houde Hall. Zhuge Liang followed him, and the two walked into the Houde Hall together. There was still some noise in the Houde Hall before Liu Qu.
After Qu walked in, the Houde Hall suddenly became extremely quiet. Liu Qu sat on the throne angrily. Pang Tong led everyone to salute him. Liu Qu looked at everyone and said, "I want to send troops immediately. He will kill Zhenzhou."
Mu, I will kill him as a traitor to the chief, he will hurt my people, and I will massacre his country!!"
"Your Majesty, no!" The first person to speak was Pang Tong. Pang Tong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, apart from the countries that have just surrendered, there are still many countries outside Guishang and even outside the Great Wall that are waiting and watching.
I believe that these people can all join the Han Dynasty, and if we kill these people, I am afraid that..."
"I have made up my mind! Stop trying to persuade me!" Liu Qu said coldly.
Seeing Liu Qu's appearance, Pang Tong looked helplessly at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang just shook his head gently and did not speak. Pang Tong sighed and stopped trying to persuade Liu Qu. "The Northern Army is guarding Xizhou and Guishang."
, The Southern Army is still in Hezhou, commanding the entire north. I will take the Southern Army in Luo County with three thousand elites to conquer!" The officials were shocked by the emperor's idea.
"His Majesty wants to conquer it himself? How can this be done?!"
"Why can't you do it?! As the emperor, it is natural for me to avenge the people under my command!" Liu Qu said loudly, then looked at Zhuge Liang aside and said: "Your Majesty, after I leave, this Luoxian County
Let your Lord watch over it for the time being!"
"There are many generals in the Northern and Southern Army... Your Majesty actually does not need to go there in person." Zhuge Liang just said at this time. He did not object to the emperor's foreign expedition, but he did not want the emperor to go there in person. He was very afraid, even if it happened again.
Even a brave man cannot stop a sharp arrow. If something unexpected happened to the emperor, Liu Qu would not be as irritable as before when facing Zhuge Liang. He thought for a moment and then said:
"I am just sitting in Jiaozhou to reassure you. In this battle, I will bring the Wei Mansion with me. With them guarding the surroundings, nothing will happen. Provocations like this must be attacked with all our strength, otherwise we will only
There will be more and more..." Seeing Liu Qu's firm attitude, Zhuge Liang did not persuade him to say anything more and nodded helplessly. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not object, and the other ministers had no idea of refutation.
After a brief discussion, Liu Qu has already issued an order, and he will set off tomorrow to Jiaozhou to conquer those traitors!!
When he returned to Taidian, Liu Qu was no longer as angry as before. He was a little excited. He finally waited for the opportunity to conquer, but he was only excited. So many people were injured and died. Even if he could go to war, he would not be happy.
I got up and just returned to the Tai Palace when I saw the Queen walking in in a hurry. The Queen looked a little worried and asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to Jiaozhou?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"The Huangmen are discussing this matter. Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty, why do you need to personally..."
"Yuanji, please stop trying to persuade me. Others don't believe me, so why don't you still believe me? I can wipe out all those thieves even without my troops and my bare hands!" Liu Qu said domineeringly, and Wang Yuanji thought about it.
For a moment, he didn't say anything more. He lowered his head, his face full of melancholy, "Hey, don't worry, it won't take a few months. I can defeat them all with one blow!!"
He comforted the queen for a long time, and then she calmed down and sent the queen away. Liu Qu sent someone to invite Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang walked into the Tai Palace and bowed to the emperor. Liu Qu just said with a smile: "
Recently, there are a few guys in the temple who always like to talk nonsense. I am very unhappy. Go and check and see who is leaking the words in Houde Hall to the outside world. After you find out, you don’t have to wait for me.
When you come back, you will be captured and executed immediately."
"Sincerely."
"Remember, you have to execute him immediately before I come back."
"Please keep this in mind."
Liu Qu was still smiling, but that smiling face looked a little scary.
Three days later, the emperor led a battalion of the southern army responsible for guarding the palace and quickly rushed towards Jiaozhou. He did not make it known to passersby. Speaking of which, even many ministers did not know about it. Zhuge Liang ordered
, this matter is still kept strictly confidential. The emperor's whereabouts cannot be leaked easily. The emperor is leading a battalion of the Southern Army this time, and the captain is called Gan Ning, and he is a warrior who is familiar with Jiaozhou.
Liu Qu was no stranger to him. To be precise, Liu Qu knew every general in the army. Many of them had good friendships with him. He even knew most of the students in the military science.
Because he often went to the military camp or to the military academy, Gan Ning was not easy to get along with in terms of appearance. He was quite arrogant, but he talked a lot. I don’t know where he learned it from, and he was familiar with it.
People who start talking can't stop.
Liu Qu was accompanied by another person, it was Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was the servant of the Wei Mansion and was responsible for the safety of the emperor. The emperor was going to the battlefield, so he naturally followed the emperor. However, along the way, this young man had no feelings for Gan Ning.
He was quite unconvinced. He felt that this guy was just an old man who liked to brag and rely on his elders. Gan Ning was not used to him and was always sarcastic towards him. Out of self-cultivation, Jiang Wei did not get angry with this old guy.
"Your Majesty, those bandits outside Jiaozhou have surprisingly low combat power. Even ordinary people can defeat them. This time, I don't know what happened, but it is definitely not that simple. I don't believe that the natives can hurt the bandits.
The Jiaozhou pastoralists who control thousands of people, unless they come with tens of thousands of people, most of the people in Jiaozhou are martial arts and are definitely not that easy to bully..."
Gan Ning said profusely, "Those natives probably have some support, or they may have a wiser chief. Anyway, I haven't been back for more than ten years. Maybe the situation is a little different, right.
Well, after Your Majesty rushes to Jiaozhou, you must not say the word "barbarian". This word is not allowed to be spoken in the local area, and can only be used to refer to traitors and the like."
"Oh? I really don't know about this. Is it because there are many foreign ethnic groups in Jiaozhou itself?" Liu Qu asked curiously.
Gan Ning grinned, "No, your Majesty doesn't know. Many, many years ago, there was a local official in Jiaozhou..." When Gan Ning opened his mouth, he talked about the past, and Liu Qu listened with interest.
, maybe it was passed down from his ancestors, he just liked listening to these stories. Along the way, listening to Gan Ning's chatter, he did not find it annoying, but instead felt very happy. Only Jiang Wei's face gradually turned dark.
"What a pity... He didn't want to implicate me. After his death, I took his belongings to see Zhuge Liang."
"Then what?"
"I'm very disappointed. He is much worse than his master." Gan Ning said, shaking his head.
Liu Qu didn't look happy. He respected Zhuge Liang very much. Even if the person Gan Ning was talking about was Zhuge Liang's master, he shouldn't have said that about Zhuge Liang. Jiang Wei couldn't help it anymore. He followed Zhuge Liang.
After studying for a period of time, Zhuge Liang was unwilling to accept him as his disciple. However, at the request of the emperor, he was still very close to Jiang Wei. Whenever Jiang Wei had any confusion, he would always go to his father-in-law, who would help him every time.
Explain it, no matter what it is.
"Zhuge Linggong is the most capable minister of the Han Dynasty. Even if you brag, you shouldn't do so." Jiang Wei said displeased.
Gan Ning glanced at him, raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and smiled, "I'm not talking about ability. If you haven't seen him, you don't understand. I have lived in vain for so long, but I have never
I have seen such kind-hearted people like him... He will not look down on anyone..." After saying that, he said no more and left on horseback to explore ahead.
Only Jiang Wei and Liu Qu were left looking at each other.
With Gan Ning, the road was not so boring. The Southern Army who came with Liu Qu this time were all elite troops. They marched through mountains and rivers without any complaints. They started at full speed and rarely stopped to rest along the way.
It is getting closer and closer to Jiaozhou.
When the emperor led his soldiers to Yangzhou, they finally met the people who came to greet him.
Those who came to greet them were the elite Yangzhou navy, led by the governor Zhou Yu himself. They were waiting for the arrival of the emperor. Zhuge Liang was still not worried about the emperor, so he talked to Zhou Yu, hoping to escort him with the navy.
