110. Chapter One Hundred and Ten(1/2)
"…The champion Hou Li Lian was the marshal, and the Duke of Zhao He Qi was the lieutenant general... The eunuch Feng Zizhi was the supervisor of the Sili Supervisor... The commander of the seal was Feng Zizhi, the military supervisor... led 450,000 soldiers to attack the Xiongnu, restrained the border... and announced to the world. The envoys heard this and said, "On May 13, Jinghe 11th year."
Li Lian became a marshal!
Although in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the position of marshal was not permanent, and it was temporary. It was not included in the formal bureaucratic system of the court. But this was the most dream position of countless generals in their lives. This not only meant that they were in the heart of the emperor, but also meant that they were at the top of the military men in the court.
What!?
Li Lian was stunned.
But the reason why he was confused was not that he was named Marshal. But whether he was Huaining wrongly heard that he actually heard Xiaozhi was appointed as the military supervisor and was about to follow him to the grassland north!?
Li Lian stared at Feng Zizhi who was standing aside in disbelief.
The young and beautiful new military inspector turned his face away with a little guilty conscience, without facing Li Lian's eyes.
The emperor didn't know what his new marshal was thinking. He stood forward and said sincerely: "This time I go to the expedition, I will entrust all the affairs of the border to my two beloved ministers. I hope you will live up to me." He held Li Lian's hand tightly.
Don’t let me down? What do you want to let me down?
Live up to my expectations and pacify the grassland?
Don’t let me down, don’t...do that kind of unfaithful rebellion?
He Qi, who was mentioned by words but ignored by actions, sensitively sensed the emperor's unfinished words.
He Qi was able to support the military for more than ten years after Niu Jin's death, and even peacefully transitioned to Li Lian, and not only rely on his outstanding prestige and the trust of the two emperors, but also on extraordinary wisdom and outstanding political sensitivity. He can always protect the military from avoiding the numerous cold guns and hidden arrows in the court. However, everyone only noticed the first two factors on weekdays and ignored his last two extraordinary things.
Before leaving the war, the emperor actually had a grudge against Jingya. This is really...
He Qi's face was not revealed, but he shook his head secretly.
I wanted to resolve it, but there was no good way to immediately eliminate the emperor's suspicion.
He Qi couldn't help but feel worried.
The Supreme Emperor, who was even more sensitive than He Qi, also had his eyes hopped and glanced at his own son suspiciously.
Looking back on the expression of my son's expression as if he was dead when he issued this order...
It is said that children are the creditors of their parents’ previous lives. The Supreme Emperor did not believe it before, but now he finds that he has to believe it!
His previous life must have been more than just ordinary debt. He must have been poor, lost his wallet, robbed when he went out, and suffered wages when he was working, and the debts were owed and the level of people in the capital!
The Supreme Emperor suddenly squeezed away the emperor and signaled him to cheer for the other soldiers, reminding himself that he must find some time to have a good chat with this stupid son.
The emperor felt wronged.
Father! Father! Xu Lilian is the marshal and it is already very dangerous to control the border. I pinched my nose and accepted it when I saw He Qi checking and balance. You still insisted on letting Feng Yannian be the military supervisor! I don’t deny his ability, but what is military supervisor!? Those who can suppress and suppress military generals are military supervisors! Can Feng Yannian? Can he?
Now, I don’t even allow me to say a few words and drive me away. Is I your own son or Li Jingya your own son?
Although he felt angry, he had to hold his breath and encourage the other generals one by one due to the "power of the Supreme Emperor" for many years.
With the emperor who has been the emperor for decades and has always been domineering, he ignored the emperor's grievances.
I feel wronged? I am not convinced. I am holding it in my arms!
"Are you sure about this northern expedition?" The Supreme Emperor stared at Li Lian.
Li Lian came back to his senses and replied seriously: "Liang is not sure."
"Oh?" The Supreme Emperor's eyes were not surprised at all.
The soldiers have no constant momentum, and the water has no constant state. The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable. It is not that there are many soldiers and a wide range of generals, but if the people are strong and the horse is strong, you will definitely win.
The Supreme Emperor's eyes flashed, "I understand the tricky aspects of the Huns, but... I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the grasslands returning to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Not only the Huns, but also the Turks, Xianbei and Rouran tribes, he will take them all.
"Huhanye is brave and heroic, and has ambition to sweep the world, judge the situation, those who follow the situation will be born, and those who go against it will perish. He lets go to the world with his heart, and his ambition will be added to the whole person, and he is unstoppable. He is an amazing hero." Even as an enemy, the Supreme Emperor has to give Huhanye a very high evaluation.
"The Huns have spent decades of rest and recuperation. Now they are strong and strong. Under the leadership of Huhanye, they have become the well-deserved overlord of the grassland. Moreover, the Hun soldiers under Huhanye no longer grazed and hunted as they used to do in their spare time, and went on wartime. Instead, they practiced day and night, which has become a climate." Although they abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, he still read the information about the grassland in the East Factory carefully.
Li Lian agreed: "The Huns grew up on horseback since childhood and were skilled in bowing and horses. Among them, the Legend of the Condor Heroes can form an army alone, which is really not to be despised." Having said that, he had absolute confidence in the Tiance soldiers he trained.
The Supreme Emperor's eyes burst out with a hot light and said confidently: "The more difficult things to obtain, the more aroused my ambitions. At this moment, my body and mind seem to feel the heat of my youth. It is burning like a raging fire!" Wearing a bright yellow nine-clawed golden dragon robe, carrying it with both hands, he has a temperament that looks down on the world, as if a high god looking down on all life.
Li Lian's eyes felt sore.
Since the palace change ten years ago and the emperor lost three sons at once, Li Lian has never seen him look so energetic.
Li Lian was so excited that he knelt on the ground with one foot and said sincerely: "Liang is willing to die for the Emperor! In this battle, the Huns will never destroy the grasslands and the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty will never return to the capital!"
He was not good at reading and had no interest in poetry. He only remembered a few poems that suited his own taste.
He remembered that Luo Binwang of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem like this:
"I have been very focused and my spirit is overflowing with the three armies.
The wild sun divides the shadow of the sword, and the sky stars combine with the sword.
The bow string embraces the moon in Han, and the horse's feet pierces the dust of Hu.
If you don’t seek to survive and enter the barrier, you will only be punished by death.”
Li Lian thought of Luo Binwang's mood at that moment, it should be almost the same as himself. He was willing to sprinkle blood on the battlefield for the sake of the emperor and repay him with death.
Suddenly, the emperor next to him felt so sad when he looked at it. He knew that it was like this when he muttered something, and his expression was extremely jealous.
But in the face of Li Lian's full of loyalty, the Supreme Emperor not only did not appreciate it, but instead scolded him: "Don't be fooled!"
Li Lian didn't know what he had done wrong, so he was scolded like this.
He grabbed Li Lian's arm and wanted to pull him up, but he forgot that Li Lian was no longer the four-year-old child back then. How could he, who was nearly 65 years old, be able to pull Li Lian? It's hard to say that with armor, Li Lian is now more than 200 pounds!
Li Lian was also afraid that the Supreme Emperor would dodge his waist, so he quickly stood up.
The Supreme Emperor made five fingers into claws and held Li Lian's arm firmly.
He scolded him without any scruples: "You are my loyal minister, my Wanhu Marquis, and my general! Have you been trained for so many years to let you wrap your body in this small war? Is it not that I have given you the title of Champion Marquis, but that you are like Champion Marquis!"
"The Emperor..." Li Lian's lips moved and murmured.
The Supreme Emperor clasped his arm more and more vigorously, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible, as if he wanted to use pain to make Li Lian remember what he said next.
"Remember! Living means loyalty. Only by living can you do more things!"
"I want to see my champion Hou return with my own eyes and accept the moment when thousands of people admire it! This is my will and must not be contrary to it!" The Supreme Emperor began to regret why he was so mean and did not choose so many good-sounding titles, but chose Champ Hou, a short-lived ghost who fought against the Huns, as the title. If time had time, he really didn't mind going on with a decree and changing a better title for Li Lian.
It is obvious that this order that must not be violated is to ask Li Lian to protect his life.
"Li Lian's nose was sore, and his eyes were filled with tears.
The Supreme Emperor smiled with relief, his eyes slightly red.
He pretended to be complaining, "The wind is so strong today, and the sand is blowing into his eyes." He turned his face and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Yes, the wind is so strong." Li Lian raised his feet to agree, and turned his face away and wiped the water vapor on his face with the back of his hand.
As the leader of the army, he could not let his subordinates see his ugly crying behavior.
After the Supreme Emperor patted Li Lian's arm, he walked towards He Qi without saying anything.
Li Lian understood what he had not said - to come back alive.
When the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor encouraged the generals one by one, boosted morale and won people's hearts, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince looked at them enviously.
The fourth prince and the sixth prince really wanted to come out and publish passionate words at this time and scold Fang Chief. It is hard to say that the tiger's body shook and the whole body exuded a domineering aura. Generals such as Li Lian took the head and bowed. At least, they could show their presence and vigorously exude a round of favorable feelings in the hearts of generals such as Li Lian.
Although the military will not participate in the dispute over the throne, there will always be one or two people who are eager to follow the Dragon or to serve them for other reasons. Moreover, they know that their father was able to successfully attack the prince's second uncle, uncle, fourth uncle, and uncle, which is due to the military's strength!
The third prince did not have as many thoughts as his two legitimate brothers. He just felt that all the brothers in the Tiance Mansion could go to the battlefield, but he could only stay in the capital as usual, and he could not use all his skills at all. Therefore, he envied the brothers in the Tiance Mansion.
But no matter what the three princes were thinking, how eager they were to come forward and talk to Li Lian and others, if they were not sent to the page, they would never dare to take a step forward. You should know when and where it is now! The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are inviting people to buy people's hearts as emperors, and what is your identity and dare to show off!
Even if they are the legitimate princes, even if they are the princes, they will definitely not be able to take advantage of the emperor's permission and go forward without permission!
However, at this time, a person who "don't know how to die" came out.
I saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes, smelling of alcohol, and holding a wine pot and two priceless Ming Dynasty lotus-patterned jade cups in his hand, shaking but purposefully approaching Li Lian.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, but did not stop him.
When the emperor saw that the Supreme Emperor had no intention of obstructing him, he remembered the grudges between Li Lian and the drunk young man, and stood there, leisurely looking at what his brother wanted.
"…Jia…Liang…” the drunk young man shouted vaguely.
He stuffed one of the jade cups into Li Lian's hand, then raised the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for himself and Li Lian respectively. But he didn't know whether it was drunk or intentional relationship, but his accuracy was very poor. He only barely filled half of the cup, and most of the rest were poured on the back of Li Lian's hand.
"Drink!"
Li Lian was not angry either, and looked at him calmly and said, "You are drunk."
"I didn't say it! I'm not drunk!" The other party glanced at Li Lian diagonally and waved his hand.
The Supreme Emperor in the distance stared at him unhappily. Just as he was about to stop drinking, he heard the next sentence of the drunken young man, he lowered his hand dejectedly and sighed.
"I'll tell you to drink! Today is my ninth brother's death anniversary, so you won't be so disrespectful!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was quiet.
Li Lian held the jade cup and quickly relaxed again.
I pursed my lips and raised my neck, and the jade cup was empty.
"Okay! It's refreshing enough!" The drunk young man applauded.
