In the village, the knights gathered together to discuss recent events.
"The Tuoba clan actually fell, it's unbelievable!"
"I heard that Marquis Lanling will leave for Yanzhou soon! It seems that because Marquis Lanling begged for mercy, Your Majesty spared no effort and did not implicate the Tuoba clan to the nine clans!"
"Isn't Marquis Lanling at loggerheads with those big families? Why does he want to plead for the Tuoba family?"
"Could it be that Marquis Lanling will become the next big family? Will he forget his original intention as he becomes more and more powerful?"
The leader who was reading a book heard everyone's discussion and raised his eyes to look over, with a hint of displeasure in his starry eyes.
The heroine next to her hummed: "I think Marquis Lanling has his own profound meaning. As long as what he does is for the country and the people, we should fully support him! Chief, are you right?"
She was stunned and nodded.
Everyone looked thoughtfully at a wooden sign hanging on a pillar.
The poem on the wooden sign was surprisingly the "Xia Ke Xing" that Liang Xiao wrote at the exchange meeting that day.
"Yes, yes!"
The surrounding heroines all agreed with admiration.
There was also an inexplicable smile in her eyes.
The name of Lanling Marquis has spread from the capital to Yanzhou with poetry and newspaper propaganda. It is said that he is handsome and handsome, and is highly appreciated by Prime Minister Zhuge.
More importantly, he spent all his wealth to help refugees before he became rich.
Later, he even set aside 10% of his business profits to continue supporting the cause of refugee relief.
The song "Xia Ke Xing" is even more popular among the knights.
Now, all the heroines in the valley are his fans.
"Boss, when Marquis Lanling comes to Yanzhou, should we go and see him~"
A female hero's scream rang out from the crowd.
"I want to go too, I want to go too~"
"I'll go too~"
She was lost in thought.
Go to see him?
Is it appropriate?
In the capital, in the military camp.
Pu Yuan and his sons stood in front of Liang Xiao, looking excited.
In front of Liang Xiao were placed a hundred long knives and a hundred swords, all of which he had carefully crafted.
Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry already have the best iron armor and leather armor specially equipped by the imperial court. They can serve as heavy cavalry or convert into light cavalry.
Their knives were also iron knives obtained from Xuanwei, but they were still not that effective in use.
Pu Yuan's hundred long knives shone coldly in the sunlight.
Liang Xiao pointed to the bamboo tube on the stone platform in front and said with a smile: "Try it."
Lei Hong raised his long knife with an expectant look on his face and slashed it hard at the bamboo tube.
"Crack!"
The bamboo tube was split into two pieces, and the iron ball inside rolled to the ground.
"Great knife!!"
The soldiers below cheered.
Liang Xiao publicly assigned one sword and one sword to each of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. As foreign guest generals, No. 17 and No. 18 were highly skilled in martial arts and were ordered to serve. Their treatment was equal to that of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. They were also assigned to each one. Two good horses from the Western Regions, one as a spare.
"Master Pu also needs to rest. There are currently eighty sets of swords and four hundred fine horses from the Western Regions rewarded by His Majesty. After arriving in Yanzhou, the Marching Director is responsible for recording outstanding performance, and each person is assigned a set of swords, two A good horse!”
As soon as Liang Xiao finished speaking, the eyes of the soldiers below shone brightly!
As a soldier, who can bear to refuse a good weapon and a good horse?
The sword made by Pu Yuan can easily cut through a bamboo tube filled with iron balls. On the battlefield, if the enemy does not have iron armor to protect him...
Liang Jiajun started to get excited.
Liang Xiao and Zhuge Ding looked at each other and smiled.
When Wu Tumu, a horse dealer in the Western Regions, sold 500 horses to Zhou Dynasty, Liang Xiao got dozens of them, and the rest were used by Xuanwei.
Now that the treasury is abundant, the Liang family army goes to the Yanzhou front line again. Duan Yunyi generously gives all the remaining war horses to Liang Xiao and lets him distribute them.
Now Zhuge Ding serves as the leader of Liang Xiao's army and is responsible for commanding, while Lei Hong serves as the captain of Liang Jiajun and is responsible for training.
"Commander Zhuge, you have been on the battlefield. Can you estimate the combat effectiveness of our unit?" Liang Xiao asked.
Zhuge Ding answered truthfully: "There is no doubt that they are a top elite force, but how elite they are can only be known on the battlefield!"
The document from the Ministry of Personnel was officially approved, confirming that Liang Xiao would serve as a member of the army in the northern border and the governor of Yanzhou.
The chain reaction brought about by the Tuoba clan's downfall made these aristocratic families frightened. They did not dare to have radical political opinions for the time being, and could only allow Liang Xiao to control the power of life and death in Yanzhou.
"We cannot let him rule Yanzhou, we must find ways to separate him from the Dongye clan!"
The Duanmu family, the Gongyang family, and the Dugu family were discussing in a secret room.
"Sir, Dugu Chen, a young scholar from Jiangbei, is here to visit!"
Duanmu Cao and others were surprised and happy, and immediately invited Dugu Chen inside to discuss.
Dugu Chen looked tired and sighed: "I heard about the Tuoba clan and came to the capital from Jiangbei. I really didn't expect that I heard about the Tuoba clan's downfall before I even entered the city. It's incredible, the Tuoba clan has always been They act calmly, and the brothers Tuoba Jun and Tuoba Ting, who are even more powerful, can actually fall easily..."
"It must be related to Liang Xiao!" Duanmu Yuncheng was full of hatred.
Liang Xiao, who was once an inconspicuous good-for-nothing, almost ruined the reputation of his two brothers. Now he is about to take over the power of a state. He is no different from a warlord, but he has won the trust of the empress.
The empress and princess were once the spouses that countless children of aristocratic families dreamed of.
Several aristocratic families believe that these sisters are theirs, and all they have to consider is whose family they will get.
But the appearance of Liang Xiao changed this situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye can understand at a glance that Liang Xiao will be either an emperor or an empress in the future.
This is also the reason why they can't wait for Liang Xiao to be transferred from outside.
Let Liang Xiao stay in the capital, sooner or later one of the sisters will be captured by him!
Dugu Chen pleaded: "My Dugu family has a good relationship with the Dongye family. I would also like to ask Shibo to arrange for me to be appointed and removed from official positions by the Ministry of Personnel. It is best to go to Yanzhou."
Duanmujie was ecstatic: "It would be great to have you there! If Gongyang Jing is here, why worry about the big thing happening!"
Dugu Chen just smiled and said nothing, feeling bitter in his heart.
When he, Gongyang Jing, and Tuoba Jun were all in the capital, there was nothing they could do against Liang Xiao.
Now that Tuoba Jun is on the run and Gong Yangjing is still in Jiangnan, he has no choice but to give it a try.
Thinking of Mu Qinxue's loving gaze on Liang Xiao, Dugu Chen was filled with jealousy.
"She will definitely go to Yanzhou too... Liang Xiao, you really deserve to die!"
In Nanyang County, the visiting Gong Yangjing looked at the closed door of Zhuge's house and gnashed his teeth.
He had just heard from the literati in Nanyang that Zhuge Yun seemed to admire Liang Xiao very much.
This fairy-like girl was the object of his admiration for two years...
"Liang Xiao, you really deserve to die!" Gongyang said with admiration and hatred.
North of Yanzhou, deep in the desert.
Tuoba Jun was disgraced and panting.
"This is the first time I'm in such a mess! Liang Xiao, you really deserve to die!"
"Go see Marshal Beihu!"
