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

"What should we do? Li Hong has actually returned to the court, and he has returned to the Han Dynasty at this time!"

In the general's mansion, Dong Zhuo walked up and down the hall with a look of anxiety and panic on his face.

Today, they learned that Li Hong had returned to the Han Dynasty with his unprecedented achievements in conquering the vast grasslands south and north of the desert, intimidating the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, and suppressing the Wusun Kingdom. All officials were delighted and excited, but Dong Zhuo felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck him.

If we say that in the entire Han Dynasty, there are really not many people that Dong Zhuo fears and dreads.

And Li Hong is the first one.

A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Li Hong defeated the grassland coalition forces several times, forced the grassland overlord Xianbei to surrender, pacified millions of Yellow Turbans, and conquered the vast grasslands in the south and north of the desert for the Han Dynasty. In front of Li Hong, Dong Zhuo was just a small general. How could he not be afraid of Li Hong?
Inside the hall, Li Ru, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Wei, Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Fan, Zhang Ji, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others all looked unhappy, even worried.

"Wenyou, what should we do? We deposed the emperor, established a new emperor, and appointed a general. I'm afraid Li Hong won't let us off, right?"

Dong Zhuo turned around and asked Li Ru anxiously.

Li Ru sighed slightly when he saw Dong Zhuo's anxious and frightened look, but he could also understand Dong Zhuo.

With Li Hong in the north, who dares to be arrogant and presumptuous?
If Li Hong had not been old and had not led the elite Han army to the grassland for several years without returning, even if Dong Zhuo had had some ideas about Luoyang, I am afraid he would not dare to act recklessly!

After a slight hesitation, Li Ru frowned and said:

"Father-in-law, the most urgent thing is to find out what Li Hong's attitude is. Why don't we send an envoy from the court to comfort Li Hong on the one hand, and to see Li Hong's attitude on the other hand, and then we can make plans? In fact, although we deposed the eldest prince in Luoyang, this can't be blamed entirely on us. When riots broke out in Luoyang City, we suppressed the riots and stabilized the court. If Li Hong really wants to return to the court, father-in-law will give up the position of general to Li Hong!"

Li Ru did not dare to neglect Li Hong and comforted Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's consolation, he thought carefully and realized that he really didn't have time to do anything too outrageous.

Dong Zhuo had come to Luoyang to serve the king in the name of He Jin, and had also saved the emperor. He changed the emperor to a new one because he saw that Liu Bian did not have the majesty of an emperor, while Liu Xie had more majesty of a son of heaven, which was also for the good of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, okay, immediately send an imperial envoy to Bingzhou to find out what General Li thinks. If General Li is willing, we can give him this great general!"

Dong Zhuo said hurriedly, but he was directly scared when facing Li Hong.

However, Dong Zhuo's cowardly behavior and his willingness to give up the position of general were not an exaggeration in the eyes of generals such as Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Wei, Hu Zhen, and Li Jue.

After all, that was Li Hong, General Li!
Soon, Dong Zhuo sent his subordinate Li Su to Bingzhou with the court envoys.

……

Li Hong returned to Bingzhou with an unprecedentedly victorious army, which made all the people excited and cheer.

However, the people of Jinyang did not have long to be happy.

Just when the entire city was out to welcome Li Hong and to celebrate the unprecedented historical achievement of conquering the vast grasslands in the south and north of the desert, they didn't even see Li Hong?

Instead, they only saw a tightly covered carriage quickly entering Jinyang City under the escort of serious-looking soldiers. Just when the people in the city were all at a loss.

Marquis Shenwu then broke the news that caused a sensation and shocked Jinyang.

General Li was seriously ill, so he asked a famous doctor from Bingzhou, a world-famous doctor, to treat him, even if it cost billions of dollars.

When the news spread, all the people and noble families in Jinyang City were shocked and in an uproar.

The news quickly spread to the entire Bingzhou, and the entire Bingzhou was shaken.

Fortunately, Li Li immediately mobilized a large number of troops, and the Yellow Turban captives did not dare to riot.

But many people cried, worried and prayed for Li Hong.

This included hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives. When they arrived in Bingzhou, they really felt that their lives had a purpose and hope. Moreover, they were not killed by the imperial court and had a new life. All of this was brought by Li Hong.

Millions of people in Bingzhou gathered in villages to pray for Li Hong, hoping that his condition would improve.

……

"Is the Marquis of Shenwu really seriously ill? The Marquis of Shenwu is the pillar of the Han Dynasty. How could this happen? He just conquered the southern and northern deserts for the Han Dynasty. Alas, I wonder if I can see the Marquis of Shenwu again?"

In Jinyang City, outside the mansion of Marquis Shenwu, Li Su was pleasantly surprised in his heart but said with a look of sorrow on his face.

After entering Bingzhou, Li Su was shocked to find that Li Hong was seriously ill and was recruiting miracle doctors everywhere.

Whenever Li Su passed through the counties and towns in the southern part of Bingzhou, he could clearly see that all the people had sorrow on their faces, without the slightest smile.

"General Li is an imperial envoy. Xu will wait until the old general wakes up and ask him more questions. The envoy can stay at the post house first."

Jia Xu looked at Li Su and replied.

"Yes, yes, don't delay Marquis Shenwu. Marquis Shenwu's health is the most important. Su can wait. Marquis Shenwu's health is the most important!" Li Su responded hurriedly, but behaved quite humbly and instructed Jia Xu.

"Come here, send the envoy to the post house!" Jia Xu responded to Li Su, and arranged for someone to take the other party to the post house.

Jia Xu looked at Li Su's departing back, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and returned to the residence of Marquis Shenwu.

After Li Su arrived at the posthouse, he did not sit idle, but went to various places to inquire about the news. He wanted to make sure whether Li Hong was really seriously ill!
