【Chapter 348】Benefits
Xi Yuyu!
Just when Ma Yunluo was in a state of trouble, the snow-shaded BMW rushed towards her opposite him, and then rushed for more than ten steps and suddenly jumped up with Dian Wuxia, nearly two feet high in the air, and rushed towards Ma Yunluo and the fire mount under her.
"Hao!" Dian Wuxia, who was jumping into the air, shouted lightly, and the spear in his palm was down and hit Ma Yunluo in the air. Faced with such a fierce attack, Ma Yunluo had no time to think about it, a ruthless force appeared on his flushed cheeks, his red lips tense together, gritted his teeth, and raised his gun with both hands, intending to resist Dian Wuxia's first attack.
"Clang——"
"Dou thud!" With a banging blow, Ma Yunluo's pretty face changed drastically, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and her hands cracked, and blood flowed like a stream. However, she took Dian Wuxia's shot in the air, and tried her best to push away the spear pressing on her head, so that Dian Wuxia's sure-fire attack could not defeat her. However, the fire of the war horse under Ma Yunluo could not hold on to the huge force on her back, and the four hooves became weak. After a while, the hooves took a step in a panic and retreated for more than ten steps in a row before they stood firm.
"Kill!" After the blow of the attack severely injured Ma Yunluo, Dian Wuxia took advantage of the snow-shading horse's landing and suddenly stepped off the horse's back. He jumped up again, swung his gun and drove away the bright silver spear in Ma Yunluo's hand, leaned back, and kicked Ma Yunluo's left foot straight to Ma Yunluo's chest.
"Ah!" Amid the crisp and painful screams, Ma Yunluo did not avoid Dian Wuxia's left foot, which was attacked in the air. Dian Wuxia kicked her left shoulder, flew backwards for five or six meters, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Ahem!!"
After landing, Ma Yunluo coughed violently. Her helmet and the bright silver spear in her hand were already lost, and her long wet hair hung on the ground. Until she spit out a mouthful of blood, the painful expression on her face became much more relaxed, and she struggled to stand up.
"Thank you for not killing me. I don't thank you for being grateful. My sister won't give me a thank you for this battle. I'm sorry, so I can't bear to leave my sister."
Looking at Dian Wuxia walking towards him, Ma Yunluo had no decadence on her face, nor did she resent Dian Wuxia. Instead, she admitted her defeat and fulfilled her previous agreement.
Indeed, Ma Yunluo did not have any reason to resent Dian Wuxia, but should be grateful to her. Because Dian Wuxia had a chance to hit Ma Yunluo in the chest, even if she was lucky enough to die, she would definitely be seriously injured. The most important thing is that Dian Wuxia was very likely to hit her left chest with one kick. However, Dian Wuxia changed the position of the attack and kicked Ma Yunluo on the left shoulder, knocking her off the horse.
In this way, the attack caused by Dian Wuxia's accumulation of energy changed direction in the middle, which greatly reduced its strength. It only kicked Ma Yunluo off the horse, but did not cause serious damage. Ma Yunluo seemed to be injured but vomited blood in his mouth, but in fact his injuries were not serious. It was just a suffocation of chest cavity. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his whole body was much more relaxed and it was not serious.
The reason why Ma Yunluo admitted defeat was that in addition to Dian Wuxia's failure to kill her was that neither side had cheated on her in this battle. It was a dignified battle.
Because of this, Ma Yunluo was convinced and had no complaints. She lost only because her skills were not as good as others. She had no reason to accept such failure unless she was a petty person who would be retaliated against him.
"It doesn't matter if my sister's injury is right?" After seeing Ma Yunluo admit defeat with a frank expression, Dian Wuxia immediately put down her weapon, walked up to support her, and asked with concern.
Ma Yunluo gently wiped off the blood stains from the corner of her mouth and whispered: "Thank you for your concern. My little sister's injuries are not hindered. You can heal after taking a short rest."
"That's good." Dian Wuxia breathed a long sigh and continued, "Sister Yunluo, if you don't dislike me, you and me will become sisters of the opposite sex? In the future, if my sister still wants to lead the army, she will serve as the military Sima under my tent and manage the soldiers under my tent. If my sister does not want to join the army, she can also be with me, so that I can't stay alone in the army and be too lonely. I wonder what my sister wants?"
"Ah!" Ma Yunluo screamed in surprise and said in surprise: "Sister treats me so well, I am afraid that I can't afford it. Why,,,,,,,?"
"Hahaha!" Dian Wuxia interrupted Ma Yunluo with a smile and said with a laugh: "Sister is trying to ask me why I value you so much, right? In fact, Sister Yunluo underestimates your own abilities. Your brother Ma Chao is now a general under my husband and is highly valued. You are an extremely rare female hero with superb martial arts and skilled archery and horse skills. My name is the deputy commander of Jinqiuwei. I also have thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, but I take into account my identity and are inconvenient to participate in military affairs. If my sister comes to help me, train troops and handle military affairs for me, then I deserve it."
"This,,,,,,,," Ma Yunluo responded readily after thinking for a while: "Since my sister doesn't like her sister's background, she is condescending to her fellowship, I'm willing to listen to her sister's orders!"
Dian Wuxia smiled heartily and said, "Okay, one word is determined! From now on, you and I will be sisters, sharing honor and disgrace. However, Sister Yunluo is my third sister. We also have a sworn sister. Her name is Zou Jing, and she is now the steward of the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion of the West. She is your second sister. Hahaha!"
Ma Yunluo heard this and was filled with joy in her eyebrows and smiled and said, "It's so great. My younger sister was lonely since childhood and depended on her brother Ma Chao for life. Her father and several younger brothers didn't like me. Now I have my elder sister and second sister, and I can play in the army with my elder brother Ma Chao. It's so great! Hehehehe——"
"Sister Yunluo must not say stupid things. Like me, you are a daughter after all. How can you stay in the military camp for the rest of your life? You will get married sooner or later. By then, you will not be able to stay in the army. You should take care of your husband and children and be a virtuous wife." Dian Wuxia said with a serious face.
"Sister!" Ma Yunluo was embarrassed when she heard this, and her pretty face turned red, and her gentle and tender side was revealed at this moment.
Dian Wuxia smiled and pulled Ma Yunluo to the Xiliang Army Formation, and said as she walked: "Yunluo, my husband is serious when he is in charge of the army. He is stern all day long. Don't be afraid of him later, don't kneel down."
Ma Yunluo was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "Why do sister say that? When she saw General Li, her younger sister should kneel down and ask for surrender. How could she be rude?"
Dian Wuxia turned her head and looked at the snow-white skin on Ma Yunluo's chest, and laughed in a low voice: "Silly sister. Your armor is already wet and hung on her body. If you kneel down and bow your head, wouldn't you show your front chest and back waist? If that's true, how do you meet people in the future, won't it make people laugh at?"
"Ah!" Ma Yunluo screamed in surprise, pressing her hands on her chest, her pretty face blushing and embarrassed. It was not until this moment that she realized that she had exposed her breasts, and her half of her body could only barely cover the huge pair of breasts on her chest. Her navel was exposed.
———————————————————
With Ma Yunluo defeated and surrendered, the Xiliang army took down Huaili City without bloodshed.
After Huaili City was down, the counties in Youfufeng County surrendered when they heard the news.
Li Li's army entered Huaili City, and military advisor Jia Xu led his troops to take over the counties, checked the military orders and the treasury money and grain, and re-arranged the officials of each county.
In addition, Huang Zhong was ordered to lead 20,000 infantry troops to eliminate the bandits entrenched around him.
Over the past few days, the army of Xiliang spread across Youfufeng County, wiped out the remnants of Ma Teng's troops, eliminated bandits, cleaned up idle people and bullies in various counties, rectified officials and helped disaster victims, and encouraged refugees to cultivate farming.
Huaili City Lobby.
"I wonder what the general ordered the soldiers to come with the grass-roots?"
A man in his forties stood in the middle of the lobby, but when he saw this man looking at Li Li, his eyes were filled with anger, his expression was quite resentful, his tone was arrogant, and his words were full of irony.
"Yan Gong's words are heavy." Li Li, who was sitting upright in the main seat of the high hall, pondered with a deep voice. Then he slowly put down the book in his hand, looked up at the middle-aged man in the hall, and did not continue to speak, but took a teacup leisurely and took a sip of tea, before waved his hand to signal the man to sit down.
The man standing under the hall was also very unique. He turned a blind eye to Li Li's gestures and raised his head, as if he was looking at the wood carvings on the eaves of the lobby.
This move is clearly a tooth for tooth.
Li Li intends to neglect him just now, but now he ignores Li Li's gestures and pretends not to see them, still standing in the middle of the lobby.
"Yan Gong is a direct descendant of the Legal family. He is well-versed in history and knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. He is actually a great sage in Xiliang. However, Li heard that Yan Gong would rather hide than become an official. Li was very curious about this and specially ordered his personal soldiers to invite Yan Gong to speak. Unexpectedly, the soldiers were reckless and neglected Yan Gong and asked Yan Gong to let him go." Li Li also ignored the arrogance and anger of the middle-aged man, and slowly explained the whole story.
However, Li Li never mentioned the middle-aged man's seat again, and let him stand in the hall and admire himself.
The middle-aged man standing in the hall is Fayan, a famous scholar in Youfufeng County. The Fajia family is currently the head of the family, and the Fajia family is indeed a famous clan in Youfufeng County. However, the Fajia family has now lost its family, and the big family of the past has now set aside. The family members have fallen apart and left their own lineage, leaving only one lineage and still settled in the county. In addition, the male lineage of the Fajia family is not prosperous and has been single-handed for three generations. Now, Fayan has only one son.
The reason why Li Li invited Fayan to speak was not because he valued Fayan's talent, nor because he invited him for the name of the Fajia, but because Fayan's son's name was Fazheng.
As a later generation, Li Li disdained the so-called famous scholars in the Han states nowadays. Because most of these famous scholars were from officials, either from famous families or from famous teachers, or were promoted everywhere by the teacher, and then they won the title of "Famous Scholar".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were at least hundreds of scholars who were famous for "famous scholars" in various prefectures and counties. The Chang'an Imperial Academy brought together more than 200 "famous scholars". This was just the famous scholars of the prefectures and counties around the Central Plains, including Yingchuan, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and other famous scholars gathering areas. If they were all added together, there would be no less than 500 "famous scholars".
There are very few famous scholars who can be truly famous in history, and only a handful of them. From this we can see that most of the famous scholars in various prefectures and counties are just empty names, but those who are truly talented are not very famous. For example, Xun Yu and Xun You under Cao Cao's command, as well as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others who will become famous in the world in the future, are still not famous now. At most, they are talented but far from being famous.
Fa Yan was arrogant, but his family was still in a state of decline, but he still kept the halo of his ancestors, pretending to be an alien, "hidden in the world and not an official." Unfortunately, according to the investigation by the soldiers, the father and son of the Fa family have now been barely able to survive by guarding the large mansion left by their ancestors. The servants and maids have disappeared and are too poor to lose their money.
However, looking at Fa Yan's words and deeds at this time, he still acted like a famous family, and still looked down on a rash hero like Li Li in his bones.
Li Li has always lacked patience and didn't want to talk to him too much about such a person who pretends to be fat. However, today he was abnormal and quite patient, at least he still swept Fayan out now.
Fa Yan stood in the hall, thinking that Li Li would solemnly invite him to take a seat, but unexpectedly, after Li Li explained the reason for asking him to come, he picked up the book again and read seriously, without even looking at him.
Standing for a while, Li Li didn't pay attention to him. At first, Fa Yan was full of anger. He was quite indignant, thinking that Li Li didn't know etiquette and did not understand etiquette and was polite. However, as time passed, his legs were sore, but he saw Li Li still ignored him. At this moment, Fa Yan wanted to turn around and leave, too lazy to look at Li Li's face again. Unfortunately, he wanted to leave but did not dare to leave. Because Youfufeng County was fully taken over by the Xiliang army under Li Li's command. If Li Li angered Li, then his family and young family would probably suffer.
After standing for half an hour, he saw that Li Li still didn't say a word. Fa Yan's legs became weak, and the arrogance on his face gradually dissipated. The anger in his eyes had already disappeared. At this moment, his heart was full of worries, worried about gains and losses, fearing that Li Li would surrender to him with a call.
"Please forgive me. I really don't know what the general is doing here. Please let the general make it clear." After standing for a long time, Fayan's qi cultivation skills were not as good as Li Li, so he took the initiative to apologize.
The situation is pressing. How can people not bow their heads under the eaves?
"Oh?" Li Li pondered, looked up at Fayan, and said slowly, "I am asking you to come and talk about this time. There is nothing important. I just heard that your mansion is short of clothes and food, so I gave you ten stones of grain and two pieces of silk to express my feelings."
"This,,,,,,,," Fa Yan's anger appeared again when he heard this, and he opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak. Li Li's words were a great humiliation for him, which made him indignant. However, Li Li's gift was the most urgent food and clothing for the Legalists. If he received this gift, he could solve the urgent needs of the Legalists and not sell the goods in the mansion at a low price in exchange for money and food.
With a violent struggle in his heart, Fayan's expression changed drastically, red and white, and finally turned into a disheartening state.
In the past, King Han Xin of Qi sold his sword to fill his stomach and was willing to suffer humiliation from his crotch in order to live in vain. Today, Fayan only lost a little face to get food and silk to support his family. Which one is more important than the two?
After thinking about this, Fayan's anger disappeared and his mentality gradually calmed down. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your kind gift. I just don't receive any rewards without any merits. I wonder what the general has to give?"
"Yeah!" Li Li nodded slightly, pondered, and waved his hand again to show Fa Yan to take his seat.
This time, Fa Yan was very well-behaved. After seeing Li Li's gesture, he immediately walked to the left side of the desk and sat down, sitting upright at Li Li.
"Yan Gong has always been famous for his reputation, and I have heard of it. I invited Yan Gong to come today because I wanted to entrust him as the governor of Youfufeng County. I wonder what Yan Gong wanted?" Li Li said with a gentle smile.
"Ah!" Fa Yan was shocked when he heard this, looked at Li Li with incredible expression, and asked carefully: "General wants to be appointed as the governor of Youfufeng County, should this be true?"
"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed loudly and said, "Li has always been a word of words. He will do what he says, and he will never be false! This time, you are appointed Fayan as the prefect of Youfufeng because you are upright and upright, and I will trust you. However, if you accept the appointment, you must follow the orders of this general and be directly under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Li Xuan. From now on, without the orders of this general, you must not accept any edicts or orders; in other words, you Fayan only need to be responsible to me, Li Li, and not be bound by other laws. Do you understand Fayan?"
"This,,,,,,,,,, I pay homage to the lord!" Fa Yan hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to the hall, kneeling down and bowed.
Although Fayan was arrogant and arrogant, he also longed for the opportunity to display his talents. He had pretended to be invisible and refused the enthronement of Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes many times because he saw that Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were not people who achieved great things. If he joined them, it would be like a secret bead to secretly seek it, and it would be difficult to get the opportunity to show his strengths. The current situation in Xiliang just shows that his previous judgment was correct. Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were not Li Li's opponents, and they would die sooner or later.
Fayan was not willing to flatter him today because he was already middle-aged and his thoughts of fame and fortune gradually faded away, and he no longer wanted to show his ambitions. However, at this moment, facing the huge temptation of Li Li's appointment of a prefect of a county, he finally couldn't suppress his mind and was excited to worship the Lord and accept Li Li's appointment. This was not that Fayan had no backbone, nor that he was inclined to be inclined to be in power, but that being a county magistrate could give him the opportunity to display his talents. He had been looking forward to this opportunity for more than ten years, and it was not until today that he had a long-cherished wish. Although he also heard the profound meaning of Li Li's words, he did not care and still happily worshiped the Lord and accepted the order.
To this day, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty has become weaker and has been destroyed in name only. Although today, Zi is still a descendant of the Liu family, this is just the time has not come. The Han Dynasty has been exhausted, the people have lost all their hearts, and has suffered repeated wars. The heroes in the world have risen everywhere. Once the time is ripe, the Han Dynasty will collapse in four hundred years and will be replaced by the princes.
In Fayan's view, although there are many princes in the world, there are not many princes who are truly capable and capable of taking over the Han Dynasty and replacing them. Yuan Shao, Jizhou, Yuan Shu, and Liu Yan, Yizhou, were the most likely to achieve the emperor's hegemony, but now the situation in the world has changed again. Li Li, Wuwei, emerged from a sudden army, and then in the Chang'an turmoil, annexed the Xiliang army in one fell swoop, took charge of Chang'an, held hundreds of thousands of troops, and jumped into the most powerful princes in the world.
That's right, to this day, Li Li has far less fame and money than Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao of Yanzhou, but the combat power and number of the Western Liang army under his command are indeed the strongest. However, Li Li's strength is limited to the large number of troops, that's all.
Fa Yan is already in his forties. If he hadn't been in his official position, he would have never had a chance in his life. He doesn't care at all about the world's general situation in decades, because decades are too long, he has to seize the day.
"Okay, hahaha!" Li Li laughed happily and seemed extremely happy to see Fayan worshipping him without hesitation.
After laughing, Li Li stood up and personally helped Fayan up. He smiled and said, "If you can get Fayan's help, you will have no worries about Fufeng County! Fayan, from today on, you will take office, and the imperial edict will be issued. In addition, I heard that you have a son named Fazheng, who is now seventeen years old, quite intelligent and talented. In this way, let your son Fazheng come to the Western General's Mansion to serve as an assistant official. After two years of training, you will become a great talent in the future!"
"Huh? Thank you for your kindness. Fayan has no way to repay you. I wish to repay you with this body!" Fayan was shocked and looked extremely excited. He leaned over and bowed, and he actually bowed, causing the wooden floor to make a "bang bang".
In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Li's move was to take Fayan's son as a hostage and use it to rob Fayan. But Fayan himself did not think so, because he knew that Li Li was the dominant family in the Xiliang realm, and no one dared to resist Li Li's orders in the Three Auxiliary Land of Chang'an. Since no one resisted, Li Li also wanted to mention his son Fazheng, which was a sign of wanting to use Fazheng, and it was also a manifestation of respecting Fayan.
With such great kindness, how could Fayan not cry out and bow down and bow to him sincerely!
