"Gongsun Bogui did well."
After returning from the sacrifice, Li Yunze was in a good mood. After all, there will never be a cousin in this world who is dedicated to restoring the country. Naturally, Gongsun Zan's benefits will not be missing here.
"The imperial court will naturally provide you with various rewards when you add officers and nobles, but the imperial court can only give out so much, you know."
Gongsun Xu, who came as an envoy, nodded repeatedly, indicating that his father and son understood the court's difficulties very well.
After all, the court at this time had nothing to offer except officials and titles.
"On my side, I have some small gifts for your father."
Li Yunze took Gongsun Xu to the warehouse in the backyard of Tianyi Building. Dian Wei first dragged out a large box. After opening it, as expected, there was a box full of golden gold bars.
"Here is ten thousand gold."
Li Yunze patted Gongsun Xu on the shoulder, "This is the reward from the thief chief."
Gongsun Xu was stunned, "The head of a slave chief is worth ten thousand gold. This is really rich." As for that tribe, all the cattle, sheep, horses and so on were packed up and sold, and they couldn't get back 10,000 gold. '
'As expected of an immortal, he must have the ability to turn stone into gold. If someone can have an immortal as his teacher.'
With the exciting fantasy in his mind, Li Yunze dragged him into the warehouse.
As soon as I entered, I felt dazzled.
It's not gold and silver, nor silk and copper coins, but pieces of horse armor!
The horse armor was polished very brightly, and the sunlight fell on the horse armor through the window. The bright light illuminated Gongsun Xu, who was in a trance and couldn't open his eyes.
"There are four hundred pairs of horse armor here." Li Yunze, who stood with his hands behind his back, said, "Choose tall horses to wear, choose elite warriors to wear three layers of iron armor to ride on, and after rigorous training, form a formation to charge, and no one can stop it on the prairie. "
This is true.
The grassland tribes did not have a large number of well-trained spearmen who dared to form a formation to fight. If you rely solely on cavalry for hedging, those light cavalry cannot defeat the heavy cavalry.
Gongsun Xu has been riding with his father to fight since he was a child, so he naturally knows the power of wearing horse armor.
Seeing so many fine horse armors, I was so excited that I was speechless.
"Anyone who works for someone will never be treated badly." Li Yunze's deception skills went online directly. "You can have whatever you want. Even if you want to practice Taoism in the future, it's not impossible."
Gongsun Xu was so excited that he saluted directly, "Don't you dare to die for the imperial master!"
There are many people who are willing to die for Li Yunze, especially after seeing the benefits.
Seeing Gongsun Xu transport away hundreds of pairs of extremely fine armors, Lu Bu's eyes were so hot that he almost shot out a laser.
If he hadn't known that Li Yunze had given these to Gongsun Zan, he would have definitely grabbed them.
Since you can't steal it, you can only ask for it.
"You came just in time."
When Lu Bu came to ask his adoptive father for some horse armor, Li Yunze happened to have something to do with him.
Standing aside was Yue Jin, the envoy sent by Cao Cao. In addition to Cao Cao's letter, there was also a lacquered letter from Jia Xu.
Cao Cao came to ask for help. The powerful families in Yanyu gathered together to attack Cao Cao's back and join forces with Xuzhou to lay siege.
Cao Cao, who was surrounded by enemies from both sides, had no choice but to ask someone to help him.
As for Jia Xu's letter, it mainly talks about the things he was supervising at Cao Cao's place during these days, and casually said something about Cao Cao being besieged.
Li Yunze didn't want to go out personally, but Lu Bu caught up with him, "Fengxian my son, you lead four thousand Bingzhou cavalry to rescue Cao Cao."
He is generous, and the benefits he should give will naturally be no less. "I will give you food, money, and silk, and I will give you four hundred sets of horse armor. You will share all the trophies captured with Cao Cao. If you win the battle and come back, the reward will naturally be no less." .In addition to gold bars, money and silk, I will give you four hundred pairs of horse armor.
. "
Looking at the happy Lu Bu, Li Yunze smiled and said, "But if we lose, or if those powerful families fail to clean up, I will not recognize you as my son."
Lu Bu, who was filled with awe, bowed respectfully and said, "Don't worry, foster father, my child will definitely live up to his trust!"
"Do a good job." Satisfied Li Yunze patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, "Work hard, and my father will marry you a eldest mother next year."
Lu Bu'⊙﹏⊙'
Shouldn’t a wife be married for her children? Foster father, if you marry your own wife, how come you are marrying the eldest mother for your children? Lord foster father, is this implying that someone is asking someone to find a beauty for him?
Lu Bu, who felt a little disappointed, gathered his troops and made arrangements for the expedition.
The soldiers distributed rewards and prepared supplies for dispatching troops. Just as they were preparing to set off, Lu Bu was called to Tianyi Tower by Li Yunze.
He originally thought that Li Yunze came to give instructions about the battle, but he changed his mind before he thought.
This time the envoy beside Li Yunze was changed, and was replaced by Liu Bei's envoy Jian Yong who came from Guanzhong.
"This time we send troops to the land of Yannan and Xu to wipe out the powerful families, and at the same time, we can escort the young and strong members of their families to Guanzhong."
When Lu Bu heard this, he glanced at Jian Yong, saluted and said, "Here."
"That thief Liu Yan burned down the plank road into Shu."
Li Yunze kindly explained to him, "Liu Xuande needs manpower to rebuild the plank road into Shu. His father does not allow him to recruit local people for corvee service, so this manpower will fall on you."
Lu Bu suddenly nodded and loudly accepted the order again.
"Here."
Looking at Lu Bu's leaving figure, Li Yunze felt inexplicably want to laugh.
You must know that in the novel, when Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou, it was Lu Bu who got the support of powerful families in the land of Yanyu and stabbed Cao Mengde in the back.
That betrayal was basically the most dangerous one in Cao Cao's military career, far more dangerous than Chibi, and even less dangerous than Guandu.
He really almost lost his entire army and exited the stage of history.
This time, the wealthy and powerful people in the land of Yanyu still chose to backstab, but it was Lu Bu who went to rescue Cao Cao, which is interesting to think about.
Liu Xuande has nothing to say for the time being.
The plank road was burned down, so they could only slowly advance to Shu. Li Yunze did not intend to interfere.
But another thing is becoming more and more conspicuous.
"Jian Yong." Li Yunze simply told Jian Yong, "After you go back, go to the land of Wuwei in Liangzhou to find Dong Zhuo and ask him when will the heads of the Hus who have been owed before be delivered? The longer the delay, the higher the late payment fine." There will be more. Let him not make any mistakes!"
Jian Yongxin said, I am from Xuande, and the lord's lord is not my lord.
But he was not stupid. Of course he didn't dare to say such things to his face. He could only go back to Guanzhong first and report to Liu Bei.
If Dong Zhuo thought that he could escape from death by escaping to the land of Wuwei in Liangzhou, he would be looking down on others.
If he still ignores him after a few days, then Li Yunze will send Dong Zhuo a magic weapon from the sky.
After arranging things, everyone dispersed, and Li Yunze also got up and went back to the inner house to enjoy Diao Chan's sword dance.
I have to say that Diao Chan dances really well, even if she is compared to Yang Yuhuan, she is not trying too hard.
Li Yunze admired her graceful dancing very much, especially when dancing with swords. The delicate woman had a touch of heroism, which added an inexplicable attraction.
He liked to step forward and fight with Diao Chan while she was dancing her sword. You advanced and I retreated, raising your legs and drawing back your waist, while the swords and spears kept attacking.
This is completely different from Cai Wenji's feeling of silently enduring the stabbing of a gun.
Here in Yanzhou, a group of representatives of local aristocratic families are trying to persuade Chen Gong, who is raising military supplies for Cao Cao, to betray Cao Cao.
"Cao Mengde is cruel and unkind."
Chen Gong, who looked upright, said sternly in front of everyone, "When he was in Yingchuan County, he launched an army to massacre and wiped out entire clans at every turn. He is really not a human being!"
"I have long wanted to escape from these cruel villains, and now I am joining hands with everyone to exterminate this wolf."
"good!"
All the powerful representatives of the aristocratic families clapped their hands with joy, praising Chen Gong for being really aware of current affairs.
What happened in Yingchuan County finally came out, and all the noble families in the world trembled.
They knew that the person behind Cao Cao was Li Xianchang, but before dealing with Li Xianchang, they had to kill his minions, eagles and dogs.
It doesn't matter whether you are a fairy or not. If you want our lives, then we will fight you desperately!
After the representatives of the aristocratic families left, Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and stood with his hands behind his back, saying softly, "You are worthy!"
Chen Gong is a smart man.
In the novel, he betrayed Cao Cao because he felt that Cao Cao's army was outside and his retreat would be taken away, and he would lose.
Not only did he have the support of powerful local families, but he also had the powerful outsider Lu Bu as foreign aid. No matter how you looked at it, Cao Cao was a dead man.
But now
Not to mention whether Cao Cao can be defeated, so what if he loses?
As long as Cao Cao runs away to find Li Guoshi, with the support of Guoshi's ability to turn stone into gold, it won't be long before he comes back.
What's even more terrible is that if Cao Cao is really killed, it is impossible for the Imperial Master to come by himself.
The national master's eagle dog was beaten to death. If he came to take revenge, who could withstand it?
Therefore, Chen Gong was very stable. After getting rid of the entanglement of these aristocratic families, he would immediately escort the grain and grass to join Cao Cao.
It's just that although he has been very careful, not all the children of the aristocratic family are useless, there are still smart people inside.
People were also on guard against him. Although he was deceived for some time, the food, grass and baggage were slow to move, and he was eventually caught up by the family's private soldiers.
Chen Gong sighed helplessly, so he could only prepare his horses and plan to break out first to find Cao Cao under the protection of the soldiers.
As for the food, grass and military supplies being transported, they could only be thrown away.
You can't burn it. If you stay, the private soldiers will still fight for it and can help you escape safely.
If it was burned, it would be a life-and-death pursuit.
On this point, Chen Gong could still see clearly.
But at this moment, a group of knights appeared in the forest on the west side of the avenue.
The knights, riding tall horses and wearing thick armor, looked on after coming out of the forest.
Chen Gong knew that those were the former army scouts.
Sure enough, after a short effort, countless cavalrymen filed out of the woods beside the road like a flood. The number was simply mind-numbing.
"Bitterness."
Chen Gong secretly complained. If these soldiers and horses were also private soldiers of aristocratic families, then he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Then, he saw a big flag coming out of the forest.
There is a big word 'LV' written on the big flag!
"Hahahahaha~~~"
Chen Gong laughed loudly, "The adopted son of the Imperial Master is here!"
