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

Chapter 198 Jizhou Mu, the General Who Conquers the East

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, the grassland has entered summer, and the weather is getting warmer.

At this time, Li Wenhou, Li Yao and his son led the army to station in Guiyi City. Naturally, they made this arrangement to send troops outside the Great Wall.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort for the canonized imperial edict to be sent to Yunwu first and then here.

Guiyi City!

After Li Wenhou heard the decree, regardless of the envoy was still in front of him, he cursed and said:

"This Dong Zhongying, I'm still in Liangzhou, but he let me be the shepherd of Jizhou, so he won't let me be the shepherd of Liangzhou!"

Regarding Li Wenhou's attitude, the messenger could only say with a smile:

"General, after all, the country has its own laws, and Jizhou is a land of abundance in the world. Being a shepherd in Jizhou is more comfortable than a shepherd in Liangzhou!"

At this time Li Yao was also beside him, and he gradually realized that Dong Zhuo was a thief.

They asked for official positions, and Dong Zhuo did give them, but not to Liangzhou, but to Jizhou, which made them directly confront the princes of the Central Plains.

The state shepherds of Jizhou, who are now Han Fu and will be Yuan Shao in the future, must hate them so much that if they want to become Jizhou shepherds, they will drive away the Jizhou shepherds at that time.

I don't know if this method of coercing the emperor to command the princes came from Dong Zhuo or someone around Dong Zhuo.

In fact, this is not bad, they have already occupied half of Liangzhou, whether they are Liangzhou shepherds or not, it will not affect their control of Liangzhou.

On the contrary, it is also a very good excuse to be a shepherd in Jizhou and wait to send troops to the Central Plains in the future.

Then the messenger said again:
"Moreover, the general was appointed as the general who conquered the East. This is a heavy-ranked general among the four conquerors, not comparable to other miscellaneous generals!"

One Jizhou shepherd, one Zhengdong general, although Li Wenhou always felt a little awkward, he was the Jizhou shepherd, and he was also the general who conquered the east. Could it be that he was going to go all the way to the east, and finally hit the Central Plains, hit Jizhou...

Even he himself didn't believe it, but Li Wenhou was very satisfied with the position of state shepherd and general. After all, this was officially conferred by the imperial court, not self-proclaimed or made up.

Then he accepted the imperial decree, which means he accepted Jizhou Mu, General Zhengdong!
At this time, the messenger took out a letter again, held it in both hands, and said respectfully:
"General, there is another letter. This is a private letter from the Prime Minister!"

Li Wenhou was a little surprised. He reached out to take the letter, opened it, read it quickly, then raised his head, looked at Li Yao, and then at the messenger, and said very seriously:

"What does Dong Zhongying mean, let my son lead the army to help him!"

The envoy was stared at like this, his face looked a little flustered, so he said quickly:

"General, I'm just announcing the decree, I really don't know!"

Obviously Dong Zhuo underestimated one thing, that is, Li Wenhou attached great importance to Li Yao, how could he let him go just because of a few words.

But Li Yao was surprised at first, and then yearning, he wanted to go and have a look.

Since I came to this era, I have been wandering around Liangzhou, and the farthest is to go to Chang'an. Why not take this opportunity to visit Luoyang, and meet the princes of the Kanto, the heroes of the world.

By the way, let's see where the corners are easy to dig. If it is useful or not, first dig a hoe, make some arrangements, and lay the foundation for the future occupation of Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Yizhou.

So Li Yao said:
"We need to carefully consider this matter. It's hard for the angels to come all the way. Why don't we go down and rest first, and there will be gifts later..."

Hearing this, the emissary looked at Li Wenhou again, and found that he had no objection, he was finally relieved, and then immediately withdrew.

He is an angel, a messenger of the emperor, but now the emperor is unable to protect himself, and it is difficult for him to straighten his back, so he can only be respectful and obedient.

After the envoy left, Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao and said:

"You want to lead the troops there?"

Li Yao nodded, and then said:
"I want to go and have a look. We want to fight for stability. In the North, at least we have to wait until Hexi develops and the soldiers are trained well. Then there will be enough food, grass, and enough troops. The army will be dispatched to take the two places in one fell swoop. For the time being, we can only go outside the Great Wall to plunder the population..."

"With my father in Liangzhou, Liangzhou is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. My son will go to Luoyang to see if he can get some benefits. At the same time, he will see the heroes of the world, and let the heroes of the world know how brave and good at fighting my Li family's iron cavalry is, unparalleled in the world!"

The Han Dynasty valued reputation, no matter good reputation or bad reputation, in short, it is best to be famous first, after all, black and red are also red, and then find a way to wash white.

After Li Wenhou listened, he felt reasonable, but hesitant. After walking back and forth twice, he suddenly felt that he was too dependent on his son. He was shocked at first, then made a decision in his heart, and even his steps became firmer. Finally, he laughed boldly and said:
"That's right, if I rule Xizhou, how can I prevent those Kanto princes from knowing my reputation and how fierce my Li family's iron cavalry is..."

Liangzhou is located in the west of the Han Dynasty, so it is also called Xizhou, which is how Xiliang came from.

Then Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao:

"Going to Luoyang this time, how many soldiers and horses do you want to bring with you, please don't let others underestimate my Li family!"

Li Yao thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Father, we don't need to use our iron cavalry to help Father Zhong fight the Kwantung Allied Forces. We only take a thousand followers of mine, and at the same time recruit thousands of Hu cavalry to detain their families. At the same time, we promise them that as long as they come back alive, they will be released from slavery and join the army. How dare they not do their best!"

Li Wenhou was very surprised. Looking at Li Yao, he confirmed again:
"Only bring such a few people, there is no shortage of elites in the left and right cavalry, it is safer to bring more!"

Li Yao didn't really go to war, as long as there were enough troops, he went to dig walls and bury nails, so he shook his head again and said:

"That's enough, father, but I want to recruit some literate people from some powerful families and place them in the imperial court. They will pass on news and speak for us in the future. It will definitely help us a lot!"

After finishing speaking, Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao, and suddenly realized that his son was tall and straight, with a mature face. He had grown up, and he was also the father of two children.

I don't know how long it will take to go to Luoyang. He wanted to say a few soft words, but he couldn't say anything, so he just turned around and finally said calmly:
"If you want to recruit those people, go and recruit those people. If you go to Luoyang, don't embarrass me. If you are really in danger, it doesn't matter if those Huqi, even those righteous followers, are all dead. As long as you escape, as long as you return to Liangzhou, I will handle it myself!"

Hearing this, Li Yao looked at Li Wenhou's back, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:
"Baby takes orders, even if all the subordinates die, the boy will come back alive!"
