King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 117 Heading to Ji County
Li Lin thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay! Your strategy is very good, sir."

Wang Lie cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I'll go first."

Li Lin nodded and asked, "Oh? Don't I need to meet the Goguryeo envoy?"

Wang Lie shook his head with a smile, "No need, I have everything. Since Liu Yu invited you, my lord, let's go on the road as soon as possible!"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, with Mr. Lin, Lin really saves a lot of trouble! Haha, thank you sir!"

Wang Lie smiled and backed away slowly, Li Lin thought for a moment.He said to himself, "Hehe, go back and ask my wife if you want to go, hehe..." After finishing speaking, he ran to the backyard like a child, and the maid on the side was stunned... …

"Hahaha, look at my good wife!" Li Lin smiled and handed Liu Ying the letter from Liu Yu.

Liu Ying handed Li Ping in her hand to Yu'er, took a look at it, her brows became more and more wrinkled, and after reading it, she raised her head and asked, "Husband, what do you mean?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, I listen to my wife!"

Liu Ying blushed, but she was also very happy in her heart. No matter whether Li Lin would listen to her or not, Li Lin's ability to say this showed her status in his heart.

Liu Ying said, "Husband, Uncle Liu is able to make friends with us because my husband is in charge of the four counties in Eastern Liaodong. How dare I, a woman, influence my husband's judgment?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, it is said in this letter that Liu Yu invited his niece and nephew. This has something to do with you. I am not Liu Yu's relative, so if you say go, wife, let's go." , we won’t go if you say no.”

Liu Yu's face darkened, "That day, my father was forced to death, and you and I escaped from Xiangping City in embarrassment with our family. At that time, my uncle ignored me, my niece from afar. Now that my husband has become prosperous, he came to make friends again, hum ! If he had intervened back then, my husband and I would not have suffered so much!" As she spoke, Liu Ying's eyes turned red and she was about to shed tears.

Li Lin hurried over to hug Liu Ying, and comforted him, "Hey... my good wife, we don't want this anymore, Liu Yu please let us ignore him and leave him alone! We won't go, we won't go Don't think about those sad things, my good wife!" Li Lin said in a coquettish tone while shaking Liu Ying's shoulder.

Seeing Li Lin's appearance, Liu Ying "puchi!" laughed, and Yu'er beside her couldn't help laughing.

Liu Ying's complexion changed suddenly, and Li Lin was taken aback by then, "Husband, although you now own the four counties in Liaodong, there are barbarians outside, Goguryeo, and Gongsun Zan in the west. If we can make friends with Liu Yu , it must be a good help, and it will be of great help to my husband's future development. After all, Liu Yu is also my uncle in name, and he will definitely not plot us in the open. In this way, my husband and Liu Yu climbed up. The relatives also have a background of Han family clan."

Li Lin's heart was agitated. He never thought that his wife, a girl, would have such a unique insight, which was similar to what he and Wang Lie imagined. In fact, Liu Ying didn't want to go to Liu Yu's place, and Li Lin wouldn't force it. It's just an exchange of letters, it can be regarded as a superficial acquaintance, now Liu Ying is so reasonable, but Jin's wife is really not a simple person!
Li Lin excitedly kissed Liu Ying, "Haha, what a good wife, she always thinks about your husband."

Liu Ying blushed and said, "My husband is my heaven and everything to me, so I should be like this."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Haha, since this is the case, Yu'er packs up her things and takes Ping'er to Ji County tomorrow!"

Liu Ying said in surprise, "Huh? So fast?"

Li Lin nodded and said, "That's right, there are a lot of things that I have to deal with in the house now, and I'm almost exhausted. Such a good reason why don't we go out to play?"

Liu Ying said, "Then, this important matter?"

Li Lin waved his hands indifferently and said, "Don't worry, there is Wang Lie, and Uncle Bing Yuan and his sons! I will also add to the chaos by meddling!"

Liu Ying suddenly regretted agreeing to her husband. She should think about it for a few days before saying it. Seeing that Li Lin had a look of hating iron but not steel.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, Li Lin set off with large and small bags of gifts, accompanied only by Fang Fang, ten personal guards, and ten escort soldiers.

Li Lin has already explained everything. Now that Gongsun Zan is fighting in Jizhou, he should not find fault with him. There is really something wrong with the military. Now Tai Shici, Xu Liang, Yan Rou, and Yan Zhi are also generals The wind is revealed, and it will definitely be able to withstand it for a while. In addition, under the hard training of several people in the four counties of Liaodong, they have already raised [-] regular troops and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

In the carriage, Li Lin teased his son who was a few months old, and at the same time gave Liu Ying and Yu'er a hand. Li Lin was also enjoying himself, and he was not alone along the way.

After passing Beiping and Yuyang counties, I heard a lot of news about Gongsun Zan in Jizhou along the way. Gongsun Zan was really brave, and now he has beaten Han Fu enough. Han Fu must have asked Yuan Shao to come out. Yuan Shao's.

Finally, I came to Yan State, which is the most developed place in Youzhou. Youzhou was originally a poor state, and it still needed aid from Jizhou and Qingzhou. , won the hearts of the people, and some advocated treating the Hu people and foreigners around Youzhou with a gentle policy, opened a trade market with the Hu people in Shanggu County, and developed the salt and iron industry in Yuyang, so that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Later, when the Yellow Turban came into power, Qingzhou and Jizhou, especially Xuzhou, the gentry and common people in Yanzhou came to Liu Yu for more than 100 million people in order to avoid disaster. He prefectures and counties were properly arranged, so Liu Yu had an excellent reputation in the world.

However, this also touched the brows of Gongsun Zan, who has always used strict laws and despised the outsiders. The two had been fighting fiercely because of their treatment of foreigners, and they had reached the point of using swords and guns. Dare to plunder the frontiers of the Han Dynasty again, but Liu Yu advocates appeasement and communicates with the Hu people.

Although Gongsun Zan has many soldiers and many generals, Beiping County is also a big county, but after all, the territory is still small, and he can't beat Liu Yu at all. Later, Gongsun Zan won Liaodong and he didn't like Liu Yu at all. Only then did Gongsun Zan's back gradually harden. Now Liaodong The master is Li Lin. Gongsun Zan fought Li Lin again, and he probably regrets it now. Both families are eager to make friends with Li Lin, and Liu Yu can rely on connections, so he quickly let Li Lin to attend his 60th birthday. .

A few days later, Li Lin and his party arrived at the foot of Jixian County. Jixian County was the capital of Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has been a big city since ancient times. Li Lin looked at the magnificent city, the huge gate, much larger than the city wall of Xiangping Li Lin said slowly, "In the future, we will definitely have several cities like this in Liaodong! It's even better than this!" His tone was full of ambition, which of course also showed Li Lin's heart. Dissatisfaction with Liaodong.

Fang Fang beside him said, "My lord, don't be too sad. Although my Liaodong city is not as good as this Ji County city, this Ji County is also a first-class big city among the great Han. Few can compare with it!"

Li Lin nodded and smiled, "Let's go into the city!"

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, the convoy was stopped, and the guards said, "Who are you and where are you from?"

Fang Fang said, "We are from Liaodong, and we are the guests invited by Zhou Mu Liu Yu!"

The soldiers watched Li Lin and his group for a long time. Of course, Li Lin, Liu Ying, Yu'er, and Li Ping were still in the carriage, and Li Lin was too lazy to go out.

The soldiers saw that the guards on the horse were all extremely mighty and looked around sharply. They were not simple characters at first glance, so the person they wanted to protect in the carriage was not an ordinary person.

The soldier said in a polite tone, "I'm sorry, it's about to be the birthday of Master Zhou Mu, so the inspection in Ji County is also very strict. I hope the guests will not be offended. Let me report to the Zhou Mu mansion."

Fang Fang looked in the carriage, intending to see what Li Lin meant, and was about to ask, when suddenly, "Wow!", Li Ping cried in the carriage, and immediately heard Li Lin's voice coaxing the child, " Yo... Yo... Yo, baby don't cry, baby don't cry, I'll get off the car in a while..."

Li Lin didn't hear any instructions from the other party. Fang Fang thought for a while, then nodded to the soldiers and said, "Okay! I'm sorry..."

The soldiers hurriedly sent someone to Liu Yu's mansion to inquire, and asked someone to pick him up. During this period of time, many people came to Liu Yu's mansion to celebrate his birthday. Because of this, the soldiers dared not be sloppy.

After a while, a soldier ran over with a servant. The servant must be someone from Liu Yu's mansion. The servant asked Fang Fang, "But Li Yuanjie from Liaodong, General Li?"

Fang Fang nodded and said, "Exactly!"

The servant hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay! Please follow me."

Fang Fang nodded, bowed to the soldiers guarding the city, and followed the servants to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

At the gate of Liu Yu's mansion, Li Ping's crying stopped. Li Lin smiled and got out of the car with the child in his arms. Liu Yu's mansion is not gorgeous, even worse than Li Lin living in the palace built by Gongsun Du. Many, Li Lin stood in front of the mansion and couldn't help sighing, "I heard that Uncle is very frugal, and it's true when I saw it today!" Then, the servants called Fang Fang and others, and there were gifts from him. The side door sent them in, and the servants hurriedly led Li Lin into the mansion.

Bringing everyone to the hall, the servant said, "I would like to invite General Li to drink some tea later, my master will arrive as soon as he finishes handling the political affairs."

Li Lin nodded and said, "Hehe, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, my uncle is busy with business, and he doesn't make mistakes because of his birthday. He is really my role model, and Lin admires him very much!" The servant smiled and went down up.
