Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Jinyang City, a spacious, magnificent, antique mansion with a back garden.

Cai Yan's eyes were filled with confusion as she stared blankly at the flowing stream.

She was kidnapped on the way to pick up her bride?
Moreover, the ones who kidnapped the bride were not real bandits!!
"Sister Zhaoji, where are you? Do you want to play hide-and-seek with Lizhi?"

A clear and lovely voice came, immediately bringing Cai Yan back to her senses.

On the day of her wedding, she was given the name "Zhao Ji".

The voice was calling her.

Cai Yan looked back and saw a cute, delicate and beautiful little girl with a ponytail jumping towards her.

"Sister Zhaoji, Lizhi has found you!" When the little girl saw Cai Yan, her big black eyes suddenly lit up and she called out.

Cai Yan's mood immediately improved when she saw the little girl, and she picked up the little girl who rushed towards her.

"Lizhi, what are you playing? Let your mother play with you!"

A pleasant voice was heard, and the charming lady Wang came over.

Seeing Concubine Wang coming over, Cai Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked Concubine Wang anxiously:
"Madam Wang, I wonder when General Li will send Yan'er back to Hedong?"

A few days ago, after being sent to this mansion, Cai Yan realized that she was not intercepted by bandits, but by Li Hong.

Of course, Cai Yan didn't know that the beautiful young woman in front of her was the deceased Concubine Wang in the palace.

Concubine Wang didn't know her specific situation either, she just said that she would go to Li Hong to ask today. Now that Concubine Wang was back, Cai Yan couldn't help but hurriedly ask about the situation.

Although she had no feelings for Wei Zhongdao, she even disliked Wei Zhongdao because of his frail body.

But she was nominally engaged to the Wei family in Hedong.

Now, what is the situation of being kidnapped by Li Hong?
Lady Wang looked at the anxious Cai Yan and said with a smile:

"I've asked clearly. He's doing this for your own good. He's met that Wei Zhongdao and has seen that he's already possessed by deathly aura. He'll be dead within a month and there's no cure. So, if he doesn't kidnap you and you marry into the Wei family, you'll just be a widow and your second half of life will be over. It's obvious that the Wei family is using you to bring good luck."

As Concubine Wang spoke to Cai Yan, she also felt somewhat unhappy with the Wei family of Hedong.

After a short time together, Concubine Wang also admired and liked Cai Yan's talent, beauty, and humble qualities as a lady from a noble family.

Naturally, like Li Hong, he was unwilling to let Cai Yan fall into the fire pit.

"Ah, Wei Zhongdao is already possessed by the spirit of death. He will die within a month. There is no cure?" When Cai Yan heard what Concubine Wang said, she was stunned on the spot.

However, the little maid Xiaoqing at the side glared, and the next moment, she suddenly became anxious.

……

After Li Hong had indulged himself with his wives and concubines in the mansion for three days, he comforted Concubine Wang and then summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss matters.

The truth is, there are a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with in Bingzhou.

……

Jinyang, the mansion of Marquis Shenwu.

Meeting hall.

Li Hong sat at the top with a majestic look.

Below, dozens of people including Jian Shuo, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Little Guo Jia, Mi Zhu, Zhen Yi, Huang Zhong, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zang Min, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, etc. gathered.

Li Hong was very satisfied when he saw the crowd of civil and military officials filling the hall. These people might become the backbone of his Li family in the future.

You know, the hall of the Shenwu Marquis's Mansion was enlarged and widened under his special instructions. It can't be compared with the Chengde Hall in the Imperial Palace, of course, but it is only one size smaller.

"I summoned you today because I want to first understand the situation in Bingzhou and the grasslands, and then make arrangements for our future affairs."

Li Hong looked at everyone and said, but after he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Jia Xu.

All of Jia Xu's abilities are top-notch in the world, which is very good. Moreover, his favorability has risen from 73 points at the beginning to 90 points now.

It can be said that Jia Xu has already identified very much with the Li family and believes that following the Li family has great prospects.

Li Hong has decided to support Jia Xu and make him his right-hand man.

Jia Xu is a man of top-notch abilities, but he is also afraid of death and is quite good at protecting himself.

Then, if Jia Xu is completely tied to the Li family, Jia Xu will naturally only hope that the Li family will get better and better.

And will not put the Li family in danger.

"Wenhe!"

Li Hong looked at Jia Xu, who was still sitting there calmly, as if he was an old monk and nothing had anything to do with him, and called out his name.

"this?"

Jia Xu immediately stood up, looked at Li Hong who was looking at him, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:
"My Lord, during this period of time, Xu has learned a lot about the situation in Bingzhou and the grassland."

"A large number of surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers have poured into several counties in the southern part of Bingzhou, and they are already overcrowded. However, under the governance of the talented people from Yingchuan, the counties are now well organized and full of vitality. The talented people from Yingchuan are quite capable!"

"Of course, we still have to guard against the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers. Although some diehards have surrendered, they are inevitably just lying dormant. We need to strengthen supervision. In addition, the ideological education that the Marquis formed before is pretty good."

"The grain captured by the Marquis from the Yellow Turbans is being stored in the granary. It is time to recapture the six counties of Bingzhou and move the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers there."

"In addition, there are frequent reports of victory on the grasslands. More than a month ago, news came back that Master Li Li, with the help of Ji Ling, Zhang He, Wang Lei, Ma Tie and other generals, led the Qihuo Army and the Kebineng Army to defeat the Eastern Desert Grassland Alliance and took over the Eastern Desert Grassland. Now they are resting and preparing to attack the Western Desert Grassland!"

Jia Xu started talking, and after listening to him, Li Hong nodded and said:

"Wenhe is right. The Yellow Turbans have been pacified and there is a lot of work to be done. But we cannot sit idle. I want to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty in my lifetime."

Li Hong's words instantly made everyone in the hall restless.

However, before anyone could say anything, Li Hong interrupted them with a wave of his hand.

"Bingzhou has a total of nine counties, namely Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Xihe County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County and Shang County. This gives you an idea of ​​how powerful Bingzhou once was."

"Originally, our Han people were merciful and gave the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei people a place to rest and recuperate, but, unfortunately, these people did not appreciate it and instead forgot who their master was."

"The Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei and Qiang people in Bingzhou are all encroaching on Bingzhou's land and population. They are burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. The six counties of Xihe, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and Shangjun have all fallen into the hands of the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang and other Hu people. Only Taiyuan, Shangdang and Yanmen counties are left to obey the imperial court. Do these Hu people really think that there is no one to support the Han Dynasty?"

Li Hong slammed the table in anger, causing Huang Zhong, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zang Min, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and other generals in the hall to immediately show murderous intent in their eyes and could not sit still.

"My lord, Huang Zhong wants to fight!"

"My lord, Yan Liang wants to fight!"

A large number of generals stood up and asked to fight.

"Okay, organize the troops, and set out in three days. Go north and kill all the way!!"

Li Hong also had murderous intent and shouted coldly.

Thinking that Bingzhou was already his own territory, but it was occupied by foreign races, Li Hong wished he could scrape off all the psoriasis immediately.
