Chapter 188 [Army chariots, disdain for the three armies]

————————————

It's another year of spring when flowers bloom, and weeping willows swaying, and only asakusa can lose horse hooves.

On the border road from Bingzhou to Youzhou, a line of carriages slowly moved forward. The leading route was three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, two thousand heavy armored cavalry on both sides of the carriage, and five thousand light cavalry supporters behind the palace.

The convoy is very large. The first half is a dozen high-pong double-horse carriages, and the second half is a sixteen luxuriously decorated four-horse carriage carriage, namely the carriage of the princes. Located in the middle of the convoy is the emperor's carriage. A golden flag is erected on the left side of the carriage carriage, with four large gold characters inlaid with the letter: "General Li".

It is obvious that this is the inspection of the general Li Li, the general of the world.

Among the various princes in the Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of cavalry escorted along the way were often drawn. This one was the only one, and there was no other semicolon.

This is not because other princes do not have so many cavalry and cannot use such a grand show. Instead, there are only one prince like Li Li who uses tens of thousands of elite cavalry when he goes out casually, and he is the only one. If other princes want to set up such a lineup, they must prepare carefully before they can make a journey. However, Li Li does not need such trouble. There are tens of thousands of cavalry when he waves to him. There are no preparations at all, and he can start at any time.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Li and his team set off from Chang'an City, passed Shangjun, Shuozhou, crossed the Yellow River, entered Bingzhou Yanmen, and then went directly eastward to Shanggu, along the grassland outside the border, heading to Youzhou.

The current patrol convoy has just left Bingzhou and entered Youzhou. He will stay in Shanggu County in five days and then continue to advance eastward.

Three days later, the temporary headquarters' tent, Huaxin, the Muslim Mu of Youzhou, and Xu Rong, the General of Zhendong, led three thousand soldiers to pick up the tent. At the same time, they arrived at the tent of Jizhou, including generals such as Ju Yi, Ma Dai and Xu Huang.

Hua Xin, Xu Rong and other civil and military officials in Youzhou rushed to the Zhengguan to meet him, and Ju Yi and Xu Huang and other generals arrived later. Two groups of people came in and out just in time to meet at the entrance of the Zhengguan, blocking the steps at the entrance of the Zhengguan.

Suddenly, the two groups of people were stunned. Almost at the moment when the two sides met, generals such as Ma Dai and Xu Huang couldn't help but take a few steps back, intending to give way to Hua Xin, Xu Rong and his party and let them pass first. After all, Hua Xin and Xu Rong have high positions and great power, and have extremely high qualifications. In addition, they are about to issue a bill, so they should let them go first, both feelings and reason.

However, while Xu Huang and Ma Dai gave in, Ju Yi, the governor of Jizhou, who was walking in front of them, did not stop, and strode forward with his head held high and his chest, walking towards Xu Rong who was walking opposite him, without any intention of giving way. At this moment, Ma Dai and Xu Huang, who were following Ju Yi, changed their expressions and reached out to pull Ju Yi, but it was too late. He grabbed Ju Yi's dark black battle robe, but did not hold his person. He could not stop his swaying figure.

Seeing Ju Yi coming straight, Xu Rong's face suddenly became gloomy and he had no intention of giving in. He walked towards him. However, just as he was about to meet Ju Yi, Hua Xin stepped forward quickly and politely with Ju Yi before Xu Rong and said, "I have met the governor of Jizhou in Xiahua Xin." When he bowed his hand, Hua Xin stood in front of Xu Rong to prevent the two of them from having a conflict.

"Oh. It turns out that it is the governor of Hua, and I am polite." Hua Xin stepped forward to see the ceremony. Ju Yi had to stop, but his expression and behavior were a little rude. He just clasped his hands and fists and then dispersed, looking very arrogant, as if he was posing as a Shangguan. But in fact, he was of the same official position as Hua Xin, but his qualifications were far less than Hua Xin. If it were someone else, he should have given Hua Xin three points and regarded himself as a general, so as to express his respect for Hua Xin, Xu Rong and other groups of old ministers. This is the minimum etiquette, and it is also the etiquette that later generations should have for their predecessors. This has been the case throughout history.

However, Ju Yi was a lofty and arrogant person. He acted as an official position, thinking that his official rank was not under Hua Xin, and he was on par with each other without having to pretend to be beautiful. Or, he believed that he had been in a short time to submit to Li Li's command. In order to avoid being bullied and angry in the future, he had the intention to establish his authority as soon as possible. His attitude clearly stated his position, and was not suppressed and restricted by his colleagues, and he was doing everything in public. No one would dare to rely on his seniority to be in front of him and despise him.

I have to say that Ju Yi was the former Ju Yi. Although he was a surrendered general under Li Li's command halfway, his nature has not changed at all. He has no new consciousness at all. He is as arrogant and strong as ever, and does his own way and does not give anyone face.

"Governor Ju Yi is also ordered to come to meet his lord?" Hua Xin asked with a smile on his face.

Ju Yi nodded slightly and said indifferently: "That's right. I received the lord's military order three days ago, so we arrived overnight and finally arrived at the lord's headquarters two days in advance to pay a visit." As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the four words "two days in advance", which seemed quite conceited and proud.

"So that's it. The governor and the generals are exhausted all the way. You should go first. Please, generals!" Before he finished speaking, Hua Xin bowed and raised his hand to invite him, and then retreated to the side of the tent. Seeing that Hua Xin had already made concessions, Xu Rong knew his intention to do so, and immediately waved his hand gently to signal the civil and military officials in Youzhou behind him to make way, asking Ju Yi and others to enter the tent first, and then go out.

Seeing Hua Xin, Xu Rong and more than ten civil and military officials in Youzhou pushed to both sides of the tent, Ju Yi didn't thank him, so he strided across the threshold and walked straight into the tent. Generals such as Xu Huang and Ma Dai, who were following him, couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, bowed to Hua Xin, Xu Rong and others with apologetic expression, and then followed Ju Yi into the tent. This was just a small matter, a small episode, but it revealed a lot of information that cannot be ignored, which was thought-provoking.

The scene that happened at the door of the coach's tent was seen by Li Li, who was sitting high in the upper ranks, but he just watched quietly, without interrupting or making a sound, and ignored it, as if he was ignoring and turning a blind eye to it. But no one knew what he was thinking and could not understand.

"The last general Ju Yi (Xu Huang, Ma Dai) pays homage to the lord!"

Facing Ju Yi and other more than ten generals bowed and bowed, Li Li smiled and said, "Hehe, it's coming very quickly! The original five-day itinerary is scheduled to arrive in three days. It's more than 200 miles a day and travels day and night. It's so hard, just sit down and talk."

Ju Yi, Xu Huang and other generals thanked him, so they stood up and walked to the sides of the tent to sit down. At this time, Ju Yi hesitated for a moment. He wanted to go to the right and sit down, but as soon as he raised his legs, he suddenly realized that the rules under Li Li's rule were different from those of the previous dynasty. He did not respect the right, but the left. So he immediately turned around and walked to the left. Unexpectedly, there were already people sitting on the top and second place on the left; the first one was the former Shangshu Ling, the current governor of Liangzhou and the general in charge of the army, Li Xuan and Li Yuanzhong, who was sitting under him was the Jinwu, the general general Li Ru and Li Wenyou, the famous "Two Li Chariots".

While hesitating, Ju Yi noticed that two mighty generals were also sitting on the right. The first one was a "giant" like an iron tower. The height of the general who knelt bent his knees was as high as that of an ordinary general. He was extremely strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a trembling light flashed in his half-open and half-closed eyes. At the first glance at this person, Ju Yi trembled inexplicably and called out to the master. Although he had not seen each other for several years, he still recognized this person at a glance. This mighty general who was as powerful as an iron tower was Huan Fei, who was known as the "No. 1 general of the Western Liang Army."

Ju Yi had no impression of the general sitting in Huan Fei's head. He just felt kind-faced and familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. Fortunately, Xu Huang walked to the right and sat down to Huan Fei and the others. Ju Yi finally heard who the general who was half a head shorter than Huan Fei, but whose body shape and skin color were almost the same as Huan Fei. It turned out that he was one of the "Five Tiger Generals" under Li Li's famous command, Jiuniu Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang.

After seeing the two literary and military officials who had already been sitting in the tent, Ju Yi was secretly shocked and immediately walked to Li Ru's lower head and sat down without any temper. Facing these four people under the tent, Ju Yi did not dare to act rashly, and did not dare to provoke face to face like he had used to treat Hua Xin and Xu Rong. He had to sit down without saying a word, and no longer dared to be picky and thin, and he was overwhelmed by his official rank. Although he was now in the rank of the Three Dukes, Li Xuan and Li Ru, his position was half a square higher than Huan Fei, and he was one level higher than Xu Chu, who was the same as the nine ministers, but he did not dare to say a word in front of these four people, nor did he dare to act wildly in front of Li Li.

The reputation of the "Two Li Chariots" has long been famous all over the world. Not only is it a high position and powerful position, but it is also a direct confidant around Li Li, and it is also a "relative relative" who has been associated with Li Li. Their status in the Xiliang army is definitely the top-level existence besides the head coach Li Li. Not to mention that Ju Yi dare not provoke him, even military advisors Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others must give in to them when they see them. Who dares to make a rash in front of them?

As for General Huan Fei, if he had not been lazy, free and casual by nature, and had no intention of pursuing fame and fortune, he would have been promoted to generals of the four towns and was more than the three dukes. In comparison, Xu Chu's record and position were slightly inferior, but he was equivalent to the nine ministers, and he was a famous tiger general in the army. The reason why Ju Yi did not dare to provoke them was because these two were famous "hot tempers" in the army. Once they annoyed them, the consequences would be very serious and they would definitely fight. The hero would not suffer any loss in front of him. Ju Yi held a distance from these two plague gods and would never provoke them on their own initiative.

After everyone sat down, Ju Yi, Xu Huang and Ma Dai reported on military affairs within their posts one after another, and reported them in detail, their achievements, mistakes, seizures and required weapons one by one. They were all truthfully and there was no falsehood. Therefore, the content of their report was roughly consistent with the military information that Li Li had known long ago.

Just as Ma Dai finished reporting, Li Ru, who had bowed and left a quarter of an hour ago, came back and informed Li Li and everyone in the tent of the information they had just sent.

"Is Sun Ce dead?" Li Li said in surprise when he heard the sound. But Li Ru's next words surprised him even more, and he was unexpectedly surprised.
