People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 169 Longxi Ma Teng
The big account of the Chinese army!

After Li Yao came over, he was told that a discussion was going on inside, and no one could enter without permission.

Li Yao was quite surprised by this, he didn't even know what was being discussed.

After waiting outside for a while, he got permission before going in. After entering, Li Yao saw that basically all the high-ranking officers in the army were here, including his father Li Wenhou.

Li Yao didn't rush to ask, first he bowed his hands and said:

"Father!"

Li Wenhou was a little surprised, and then he said in doubt:
"Shouldn't my son Xiumu be at home today, with Yuaner and Huier, why are you back at the barracks now?"

Li Yao looked at Li Wenhou, and then at all the generals around, they were all confidantes of the Li family, so he directly told the truth:
"Of course it's a gift for my father. This is the military factory below. The newly made knives are even more superior than those Bailian long knives. How can such a treasure be hidden!"

Only then did Li Wenhou realize that the knife held by Li Yao looked a little different from the previous ones, so he became interested:
"Take a look!"

The generals and schools around were also full of curiosity at this time, but as long as they are martial arts, there is no one who is not interested in weapons.

Li Yao stepped forward and handed the cold knife in his hand to Li Wenhou. Li Wenhou took the cold knife and pulled it out. A cold light suddenly appeared.

After Li Wenhou checked it, he showed a look of shock, and stood up directly:

"Good knife, really good knife..."

Then he looked up at Li Yao, his eyes were full of fire, he said eagerly:
"Ayao, what is the output of this knife? Can it be mass produced?"

Li Yao shook his head when he heard the words, and said regretfully:
"This knife consumes steel, and the craftsmanship is complicated. There are only eight or ten pieces per month. We can use it ourselves, and we can also reward meritorious soldiers. It is difficult to use it as standard equipment!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhou frowned, and the high-ranking generals around him also raised their hearts to their throats. They were also sure that this is a good knife. If the output of this knife is very low, it would be difficult for even them to get it.

After a while, Li Wenhou accepted the reality, and he could only say regretfully:
"It's a pity, it's a pity... But if such a precious sword can be mass-produced, who else in the world is our army's opponent!"

But Li Yao spoke again, implying words of encouragement:
"That's true, but such a sharp sword, only heroes and warriors are worthy of owning one!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhou nodded in agreement, then looked at everyone and said:

"This sword is a precious sword. If you don't have the courage to conquer the city first, and the sharpness to defeat the enemy and cut the general, you are not worthy of owning this sword!"

Having said all this, everyone around stood up, some passionately, some firmly, and each clasped their hands and said loudly:
"I will live up to the general's expectations!"

"In the future, we will be the first to conquer the city, defeat the enemy and slay the general, and prove the bravery and sharpness of the last general!"

"..."

Li Wenhou nodded in satisfaction, then he put away the knife, looked at Li Yao again and said:

"Does this knife have a name?"

Li Yao shook his head and said:

"I haven't taken it yet. Although it is in the style of a long knife, it is built with a new method, and maybe it needs a new name..."

When Li Wenhou heard this, he was also very interested. He stroked his beard and thought for a while, and finally he made a decision and said:

"Since a brave man deserves to have a treasured sword, it was born for war, and it will shine on the battlefield in the future. From now on, this sword will be called a war sword. My Liangzhou war sword will surely make people in the world terrified!"

Li Yao flattered at first, then his eyes flickered, and he asked suspiciously:
"Father is wise, my sword in Liangzhou will sweep the world. Father called all the generals together today, but what happened?"

Li Wenhou didn't hide it either. Since Li Yao had already asked, he just said it directly:
"Ayao, the emperor is dead..."

The emperor is dead!

When Li Yao heard the news, he was a little surprised at first, but soon he fully realized it.

It has been six years since Zhongping, and Liu Hong is about to die, and the world will be in chaos.

At this time, Li Wenhou looked excited, his eyes seemed to be burning with ambition, and then continued to say in a deep voice:
"This news was only sent today, so even you don't know it. We have endured it for three years, and it's time to do it..."

After Li Wenhou finished speaking, he turned and looked behind him. There was a map of Liangzhou hanging there, and then he said in a deep voice again:

"Once the emperor dies, the imperial court will not be able to take care of us. I want to take this opportunity to seize Liangzhou. First, I must seize the southwestern part of Longxi to clear up all worries, and then send troops to the north to capture the four counties in Hexi. By that time, most of Liangzhou will be in my hands. I can even become king!"

Hearing Li Wenhou's words, the generals around were not only not afraid, but even eager to try.

After all, after Li Wenhou becomes king, their status will rise, and maybe they can also be captains, generals...

Li Yao shook his head secretly in his heart, this is indeed an opportunity to capture most of Liangzhou.

But it is not necessary to be king. Build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king. If you get ahead too early, you will be easily targeted.

But Li Wenhou wanted to become king, so he couldn't refute it directly, so he would advise him in the future.

As for now, it is indeed possible to expand. Once Liu Hong dies, the eunuch and his relatives will start a life-and-death struggle under the instigation of scholars.

If there is no major change in history, Dong Zhuo will only be cheaper in the end. Should he beg for Dong or help him?

This is what Li Yao said:
"First south and then north, this strategy is very good. However, after Ma Teng in the southwestern part of Longxi claims to be General Fubo Ma Yuan, we still need to pay attention!"

Hearing this, Li Wenhou turned to look at Li Yao, with a nonchalant smile on his face:

"After General Fubo and Ma Yuan? Even if it is General Fubo and after Ma Yuan! But his family is still gone. As long as our army aggressively attacks, can he still defeat our army..."

Speaking of this, Li Wenhou looked at Li Lin, and Li Lin immediately got up and began to introduce:
"Two years ago, Ma Teng defeated a group of thieves and became their leader. Then he occupied Zhan County and became the county magistrate himself. He recruited refugees and trained troops to garrison the fields. This was the climate. County, Xiangwu, Shouyang, Suoxi City, Longsang City, our people have already mixed in, if necessary, they can act as internal response and help us seize the city!"

Although Ma Teng's ability is good, Liangzhou no longer gave him a place to develop. He struggled to start in the south of Longxi, with Li Wenhou on one side, Beigong Boyu on the other, and Dong Zhuo who robbed him. Dong Zhuo's hometown is in Lintao, Longxi.

Time, fate!
　Ma Teng started his career as a rebel, and he became a rebel under the name of himself. The situation has changed, and the time is also destiny.
