601. Chapter 601 Return(1/2)
After leaving Xuchang, the journey back was uneventful, with no major movements. All the major forces that had suffered losses in Xuchang also ceased their activities, and no catastrophe occurred along the way.
Comfortable and refreshing! At the very least, the trip to Xuchang gave Zeng Yu more than just a good meal at the city gate. The most important thing was that it made him feel in control of his own destiny and the feeling of being a master!
The emperor is the strongest in this feudal society
Although the great leader of the altar no longer had any authority in this late Han Dynasty, he was still the pinnacle figure on the altar and could command all major forces to serve him! Zeng Yu was able to withstand his revenge, which was indeed a sign of letting go.
A big, big baggage.
Of course, at this time, the world's disputes are still continuing. Revolving around the huge interests of the three states of the Yuan family, all parties are still like a snowball, desperately investing their own troops and horses in order to win the hegemony in the Central Plains.
After Cao Cao failed in Guandu and Bingzhou one after another, his focus gradually shifted to Qingzhou, one of the important towns in the three states of the Yuan family! Qingzhou was originally the place where he started to suppress the Yellow Turbans. Although he attached himself to Yuan Shao, many people still felt that
Still facing Cao Cao, Cao Cao, who suffered successive defeats, must regain his lost face in Qingzhou.
Lu Bu, who was dedicated to helping the Yuan family, also came to a stalemate with Cao Cao. He mobilized large armies from Bingzhou to aid Qingzhou and confront Cao Cao.
For Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the interests of Qingzhou are not important. Capturing Jizhou is their key project. Jizhou is the hometown of Yuan Shao. It has abundant land and simple people, and most importantly, it is located in the center of the Central Plains.
, is a land of dragon prosperity! If you occupy this place, you may inherit the Yuan family’s political wealth and radiate to the Central Plains!
This kind of stakes caused Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who were repeatedly frustrated by Yuan Shang's counterattacks, not to be discouraged. Instead, they snowballed and kept investing their troops.
All of this is still far away from Zeng Yu for the time being. When troubled times come, the only important thing is to protect yourself before considering other things.
So along the way, despite having a super-large team of more than a dozen first-class generals, Zeng Yu never thought of joining the battle for Yuan's three states. He returned to Liangzhou to recuperate and adjust the staff of various departments. That was what he had to do first.
matter. Similarly, this view was also shared by Jia Xu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui
Everyone agreed. With the addition of Jia Xu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, Liangzhou is no longer Zeng Yu’s sole proprietor. The status and personal strength of these three bosses have to be kept aside by Zeng Yu.
All ears, this is something Zeng Yu is happy to see. This is a very good learning opportunity.
After a month of travel and dust, the team returned safely to Guzang, Prefecture, Liangzhou.
At the foot of Guzang City, Su Ze, Ma Ai, Yang Qiu, and Yin Feng, who had come after hearing the news, led the people from Liangzhou to prepare a battle array to greet them. The cheers here were like a tide pouring into the foreign land that they had traveled all the way back to Liangzhou.
Wanderer.
"How many years of wind and frost!" Ma Teng said with emotion as he squinted his eyes and looked at the ancient city in front of him with ups and downs of emotions.
Han Sui's wrinkled face bloomed with life again. He squinted his shining eyes and looked at the people who came to greet him happily. He stroked his beard and sighed: "This is us Liangzhou people! This is the most beautiful person in our hearts."
!”
Jia Xu, who had not returned to Liangzhou for many years, was already in tears, his face was red and his voice was hoarse, "Liangzhou! Liangzhou! Jia Wenhe is back!" The protracted tone and emotional expression are all the words of a foreigner about his hometown.
look forward to.
In fact, excluding Jia Xu, Ma Teng and Han Sui had not left Liangzhou for too long, but the cold reception they received in Xuchang and the warm reception they received in Guzang were simply earth-shaking. All the contrasts, everything
It's still so kind, everything is so familiar, the local accent is ringing in their ears, everything makes them feel a lot.
It turns out that they have truly returned to their hometown!
Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Jia Xu looked at each other. This was the home they had longed for! The so-called diligent king, the so-called support of the Han Dynasty, the so-called painstaking efforts for the Han Empire? What did these so-called bring to them?
What? They have self-knowledge in their hearts! At this moment, these past pursuits are left behind! Building a beautiful Liangzhou together is what they are pursuing now!
Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De and other young people from Liangzhou all had expressions of emotion on their faces. As early as a month ago, they could not imagine the scene of returning to their hometown. In the past few years, they have been working day and night for the benefit of the emperor.
Many Liangzhou children were killed and injured, and they all thought that they would have no face to face the Liangzhou elders when they returned to Liangzhou. However, the cheers that filled the sky at this moment made them forget all their worries, and they were filled with only loyalty to Liangzhou and guilt.
"Shou Chenggong, Wen Yue Gong, Wen He Gong! As well as Meng Qi, Ling Ming and so on! They are all the pillars of our Liangzhou! Isn't this scene a true portrayal?" Zeng Yu jumped on his horse.
After coming down, they hugged and cheered Su Ze, Ma Ai and others who came to greet them, and then pulled a group of people to come and meet Ma Teng, Han Sui and Jia Xu.
Su Ze was a representative of a famous family in Liangzhou and had a very deep relationship with Ma Teng and Han Sui. As soon as they walked up, they looked at each other and felt a lot of emotions. They stepped forward and bowed: "My lords, I am returning to Liangzhou. This is Liangzhou."
What a blessing! What a blessing to all people!”
Ma Ai, Yang Qiu, and Yin Feng are all members of the younger generation. Under the current scene, they can only lean aside and bow with smiling faces.
Although Yang Qiu and Yin Feng are first-class famous generals, there are a lot of them in the camp of famous generals such as Han Sui and Ma Teng, and they are not worth money at all. It is not surprising that they are treated like this. Ma Teng
Matthew, the incompetent youngest son of the family, can become a first-class general. Think about it, what kind of prominent position can other people have in front of them?
"There are so many famous generals!" Some people who were close to him were deeply shocked when they saw this scene. They couldn't help but said: "With such a grand scene! Then do you have any doubts about the prosperity of Liangzhou?
?”
Next to him, a businessman from the Western Regions who had just arrived in Liangzhou shook his head repeatedly and said: "There is absolutely no doubt! It can be imagined that this kind of camp is a devastating super force for us in Central Asia and West Asia!" This person is from the Wusun Kingdom of the Western Regions.
A spy came in in disguise. Seeing such a shocking scene, his face trembled with fright, and he couldn't help but express his inner fear.
As Liangzhou intensifies its efforts to develop the Western Regions, the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions have collapsed. In addition to a few large countries that have received support from the Persian Empire in West Asia, many small countries have joined the Liangzhou camp and traveled to and from the Western Regions in Liangzhou.
The proportion of merchants has reached a very high level. This time, the addition of Han Sui and Ma Teng to Liangzhou will shock the people of the Western Regions even more! Compared with the chaotic Yuan family's three states, the Western Regions and West Asia are Zeng Yu's future development direction.
Of course, the Liangzhou people have not noticed this tendency. They are just shouting, jumping, and encouraging in the crowd. The joining of the three big guys and their respective camps has laid the foundation for the rise of the Liangzhou people.
Lu Lu, as a native of Liangzhou City, has reasons, obligations and responsibilities to welcome distinguished guests from afar.
Regarding the sighs of the people from the Western Regions, only a few Guzang people came out of the crowd and shouted with great disdain: "The Western Regions? In front of Duke Shoucheng and Duke Wen Yue! Who are you in front of these two indomitable bosses? Are you in Liangzhou?
Do you need to know the history of our Liangzhou just to make a living? In the past few decades, except for Dong Zhuo and Dong Chengxiang, our Liangzhou belongs to these two heroes.
The world! Even Prime Minister Dong was once defeated by them together! Even our invincible Master Zhou Mu is just their junior! Western Regions! Humph! Don’t look at some small broken countries, relying on material abundance, they have never been able to survive.
Ignore the surrender of our Lord Zhou Mu! They will definitely regret it! The era of famous generals has arrived! Are they, a small country in the Western Region, nothing?"
"Hey! Brother from the Western Regions, I see you should return home quickly to persuade the remaining small countries that are lucky enough not to surrender! When the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will all turn into powder! Don't take any chances!"
The laughter of the people in Liangzhou and the great momentum of the heroes of Liangzhou who were approaching made the man from the Western Regions in the middle who was chatting just now turned pale with shock. He had come to Liangzhou and looked down upon it.
People thought that the Liangzhou people were able to dominate the Western Regions only with the help of extremely shameless spies and spies disguised as businessmen! Now after seeing this kind of prestige, I realized that the Liangzhou people’s domination of the Western Regions was no accident!
Under such a general situation, where should the countries in the Western Regions go? Should they rely on Liangzhou or the great power of Persia? This businessman in the Western Regions was hesitant, with a gloomy expression on his face.
However, no matter what the merchants from the Western Regions thought, his small body was just a drop in the ocean among the crowded crowd, and the topics he brought were soon drowned in the cheers welcoming the return of the Liangzhou general.
Jiang Yin, who was standing in the crowd, noticed the little incident in the crowd just now and frowned. From the abnormal behavior of the Western Region businessman, he could see that there was something wrong, but now he had no time to care about this matter. As Liang
As the head of a large family in Zhou Yinshi, such small things cannot make him moved.
The return of Liangzhou heroes to Liangzhou was such an earth-shattering event that made him upset! As a member of the Liangzhou people, the Jiang family had already surrendered to the party held by Zeng Yu a while ago.
Zeng Yu! However, the Jiang family, which only had him as a second-rate general, did not get Zeng Yu.
Zeng Yu paid too much attention to him, because at that time, with the expansion of Zeng Yu's power, countless hidden civil and military officials from various places took refuge. The Jiang family was only a second-rate famous general and was not of sufficient value, which made Jiang Yin, who was bent on climbing to a high position, very disappointed.
He missed a big opportunity by not joining Zeng Yu's staff at the first time.
Now, with so many famous generals coming to Liangzhou, it seems that the status of their Jiang family is going to drop again and again? Jiang Yin almost felt an invisible and breathless smell forcing him, making him a little bit nervous.
Bewildered and at a loss.
"This is Ma Shoucheng from Liangzhou! I am loyal to Lord Zhou Mu until death!" Just as Jiang Yin was thinking wildly, Ma Teng was already standing on a carriage, raising his arms and shouting.
"He is a descendant of General Fubo! He is the current patriarch of the Ma family!"
"Haha! It's really Mr. Shoucheng! With that proud and heroic appearance, who else would have given up his life to become Mr. Shoucheng?"
"Shou Chenggong! Descendants of General Fubo! The prosperity of us Liangzhou people is just around the corner!"
"Welcome! Welcome! Warm welcome!"
The people were excited, and what the people were vaguely muttering about was confirmed. Everyone cheered and jumped up, making the atmosphere here lively. But this was just the prologue. Han Sui, Ma Chao, etc. came on stage one after another.
Ma Dai, Pound, Ma Tie
Waiting to come out and shout, the people in Guzang City became even more enthusiastic. The huge momentum caused people from inside and outside the city to come running to watch the excitement. This was simply a small military parade. Perhaps it was the only military parade in Liangzhou in the past ten years.
It was so lively and lively this time.
At this time, Zeng Yu also started to make plans, and the expected results were achieved, which cheered up the people's hearts. The next thing to do was to hold a welcome banquet in the city and take the opportunity to recruit talents from all over Liangzhou. It made sense.
Looking at the moving ceremonial guard, the eyes of the people present were full of fiery enthusiasm, and they danced and cheered behind the ceremonial guard. How many years have they not been so excited? The active cells of the people always maintained a certain level, allowing them to
There is always an atmosphere of joy in the air.
Jiang Yin mingled among the crowd and did not participate in the spread of this passion. His face was cloudy and uncertain, and his eyes were complicated and hard to find. Just as the generals came on stage one after another, he had already made up his mind that the most outstanding descendant of the Jiang family must be killed.
Jiang Wei snatched it back from Liu Bei, otherwise the Jiang family would never regain its glory in Liangzhou, where they have lived for generations.
Jiang Yin's idea is not unique. There are also many spies from Liangzhou's big and small forces in the crowd. They got the news early and waited here. When they saw the rumored famous generals making their debut, they were stunned and hurried back.
Family, let the heads of the major families discuss future matters.
Maybe this is the result Zeng Yu wants? As early as the moment he entered Liangzhou, he ordered all the post stations to operate rapidly, spreading this earth-shattering news to every corner of every county in Liangzhou.
middle.
This is the power of public opinion! Although transportation in this era is not convenient, the power of public opinion will have an explosive effect in any era!
Finally seeing the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, which had been away for many days, Zeng Yu didn't have time to think too much, got off his mount, held hands with the three giants Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Jia Xu, and walked into the mansion together. This was a distinctive gesture.
Declare that Liangzhou still has a heart
Unruly people, Liangzhou is no longer what it used to be! With peerless generals like Ma Teng and Han Sui, and a perceptive mastermind like Jia Xu, who wants to cause trouble in this land of Liangzhou?
, you have to weigh one or two!
The world is in chaos, and those who can survive in troubled times must have extraordinary strength. Not only can Liangzhou survive without being manipulated by all forces, but it has also gradually expanded. This time, two overlords of Liangzhou have been introduced.
To be continued...
