The news of the White Tiger Army's victory in the first battle was quickly spread through the "Great Han Dragon and Tiger List".
For individuals with outstanding performance, the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" habitually opens a column.
The protagonist this time was Guan Yu who led a twenty-man artillery team to easily destroy the enemy's logistical equipment.
Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others were still preparing supplies in Luoyang. When they saw the report on the Dragon and Tiger List, a strange look flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.
"Second brother has really made a name for himself, alas!" Liu Bei looked melancholy, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed.
This scene happened to fall in Liu Biao's eyes, and Liu Biao secretly said that it was not good, because he was afraid that if it dragged on any longer, Liu Bei would have to stay.
The plan to cross the Japanese island eastward that he had finally prepared was completely ruined this time, and he could not stop it because of Liu Bei.
Both of them have their own thoughts, but one person is acting vigorously and resolutely.
In the palace.
Wei Cheng was meeting someone who surprised him.
"Cao Cao has met Jun Wei and wishes to express his condolences to you."
Wei Teng nodded slightly and looked curiously at the boxes behind Cao Cao.
"Mengde, what are you doing?"
Cao Cao bowed to Wei Cheng, walked to a box, and opened the lid with force.
Wei Cheng narrowed his eyes, because the box was full of all kinds of treasures, the value of which was probably no less than a few small targets.
Unfortunately, some of the bronzes were as good as national treasures. Even if Wei Cheng took them back, he could only keep them secretly.
"I beg the Lord Wei to lend Cao three ships. Cao promises to capture the Japanese island within three years!" Cao Cao knelt down on one knee.
Wei Cheng's eyes moved away from the treasures and fell on Cao Cao's face. He asked curiously: "We haven't seen you for so long. Did Meng De go to Xuzhou?"
Cao Cao did not hide anything and answered with his hands raised: "That's right, Cao went to Xuzhou to visit the shipyard and had a very pleasant conversation with Brother Huang."
"How are Chengyan and the others doing in Xuzhou?" Wei Cheng asked with a smile.
Cao Cao nodded enviously and replied: "Everything is available. Brother Huang claims to be living a life like a god."
When Wei Cheng heard this, he laughed.
After a pause, he looked at Cao Cao, hesitated, and said, "I can lend it to you, but I have a small request."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Wei, please speak."
Wei Cheng leaned on the armrest and said slowly: "It is said that Liu Jingsheng is also going to the east. After all, his precious son was beheaded because of me. You should also know about this?"
Cao Cao was startled at first, then he raised his hand and said, "Cao knows what to do. Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will make sure he never comes back."
Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at Cao Cao with a blank expression. After a while, he said: "I will not let you work in vain. This time, in addition to ships, I will support you with some good items and keep them safe."
There will be no success in your journey."
Cao Cao was very excited in his heart, but he didn't dare to be too flattering on the outside. He bowed respectfully and kept everything in silence.
】
At this time, Wei Cheng suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way, where is your military advisor?"
Cao Cao showed a bitter expression, cupped his hands and said: "Fengxiao was seriously ill and died a month ago. I didn't expect Weijun to still remember him."
"do you died?"
Wei Cheng frowned and laughed in his heart. After drinking so much industrial alcohol, it was already a miracle that he could survive until now.
"My condolences, please leave if you have nothing to do. Someone will naturally contact you specifically for what will happen next. Just be prepared to cross eastward."
Cao Cao accepted the offer and Shi Shiran retreated.
Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure, Wei Cheng couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with a sinister arc.
Some people remain in this world as hidden dangers, and it would be better to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Liu Biao was one, after all, he had the revenge of killing his son.
Guo Jia is one. Cao Cao can dance like that, so he must be influenced by him.
Of course, there are many people, such as: those veterans in the DPRK...
Liu He and Liu Xie are already like this. Recently, some people have made a fuss about them. Especially after learning that Wei Cheng wants to accept Liu He as his concubine, some veterans of the former dynasty are even more ready to take action.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Liu He gave birth to a son and a half daughter for Wei Cheng, these people would be eager to extend their tentacles to the harem.
Looking at the fourteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were six puppet emperors, and the others were not much better. They either died of illness or died young.
Even Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, died of illness, what else can you expect?
Looking at the list of emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a history of blood and tears of the emperors. From Liu Xiu to Liu Xie, they either died of illness or were poisoned, or died young, and then died of kidney deficiency. There was no natural death.
And if all of this has nothing to do with those ministers, Wei Cheng doesn't believe it.
Eunuchs, relatives, and important ministers, the political affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty have always circulated among these three parties, and never really fell into the hands of the emperor.
Nowadays, Wei Cheng has asked Xie Yu to focus on training female guards, thus avoiding the risk of eunuchs.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no possibility that the female guard will be taken advantage of, but at least at this stage, the loyalty of the female guard is unquestionable.
In terms of relatives, Wei Cheng only had one brother-in-law, Cai Heng. As for Cai's other brothers, Wei Cheng had no intention of re-employing any of them. Even if they were talented, he would let them serve as officials in other places.
Therefore, this hidden danger can be considered blocked.
As for the other girls, Hao Niang was born in a poor peasant family, Zhong Chan's family was ruined and only had a mute father, and Bai Chuyi was even worse. The three girls could not be taken advantage of, and they did not have the conditions.
The only two people who should be concerned about are Xie Yu, who comes from a famous family, and Liu He, an orphan from the former dynasty. One of them comes from the top family of the Han Dynasty; the other is a princess of the former dynasty, and is quite supported and loved by the veterans in the court.
Especially Liu He. You must know that more than half of the people with the surname Liu in the world are from her family.
Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, Liu Bei... these people are all members of the Han clan. If given the chance, they would definitely stand behind Liu He.
Wei Cheng, on the other hand, refused to give them any chance to take advantage of him.
No matter who wants to destroy my family harmony, there is only death waiting for you.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am Wei, and I have never been a soft-hearted person.
Since the emperor can die of illness, then senior ministers in the court are also at risk, right?
Wei Cheng, a pharmacist by training, had 10,000 ways to put them into deep sleep without even realizing it.
···
Half a month later.
"What? All the ships in the shipyard are on loan?"
At the junction of Donghai County and Langya County in Xuzhou, there is a huge shipbuilding yard, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres.
Because the ships of this era were all built with a wood theme, this place looks more like a lumber factory.
All kinds of wood are piled up everywhere, and aniseed materials that will be rare in future generations can be seen everywhere here.
Huang Chengyan was dressed in a short game. It was already very hot in Xuzhou in mid-May. There was enough sunshine on the beach and the salty sea breeze blew against his face, which made him feel a little cooler.
Huang Chengyan always does things by himself. After working all morning, he is already sweating.
Hearing Liu Biao's dissatisfied tone, he frowned and said: "The ships in the shipyard all belong to the imperial court. The imperial court has issued documents. How dare Huang disobey? Brother Jing Sheng, please don't embarrass Huang. Huang is just a small shipbuilder."
Just a craftsman."
Liu Bei, who was behind Liu Biao, pulled him secretly and whispered: "Let me ask who borrowed all the boats."
Liu Biao suppressed his displeasure and asked Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Biao and Liu Bei, and asked doubtfully: "Don't you know? Cao, the governor of Yanzhou."
"Assassin Cao?"
"Cao Cao!"
Liu Biao and Liu Bei exclaimed at the same time, and the latter asked in disbelief: "How could it be him? Where did he get the document?"
Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "This is your problem. Huang only accepts paperwork to do things."
Liu Biao's expression was gloomy. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Chengyan, you and I are old friends. Now we should not be upset over such a trivial matter. Liu will apologize to you here."
Already."
Huang Chengyan was originally a casual person. Seeing Liu Biao's behavior, he returned the favor and said: "You have also seen the current situation. The three sea-going ships we built were all borrowed by Brother Meng De. The remaining
The ship has not been completed yet, if you can afford to wait, Huang can help you put in a good word to your superiors."
Liu Biao and Liu Bei looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions, and secretly scolded Cao Mengde in their hearts.
However, it is obviously not possible to ask them to wait for the next batch of sea ships. If they are too late, they will be too late.
Liu Biao had a plan in mind and said goodbye to Huang Chengyan.
···
"Dad, they won't do anything bad, right?"
Watching Er Liu leave, Huang Yueying, who had been standing aside without speaking, suddenly asked.
Huang Chengyan still looks like an old farmer like before. His wise eyes flashed slightly, and he twisted his beard and said, "They don't dare."
Huang Yueying nodded slightly and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, we cannot take it lightly. We still need to ask the city guards to pay more attention."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll just mention this to Brother Shi later."
Speaking of Shi Tao, Huang Yueying's face suddenly darkened.
When Huang Chengyan saw this, he frowned and said, "Why, are you blaming your father again?"
Huang Yueying pursed her lips and shook her head, "My daughter would not dare to tell a matchmaker if her parents ordered her to do so."
Huang Chengyan sighed deeply and said with relief: "Silly boy, you are still young, and there are still many things you don't understand. That boy Shi Tao has a free and easy temper, and he is also righteous. He is indeed a good man, but he is too casual and casual.
Sexual people generally don’t care about their families.”
"Dad is also doing it for your own good. The most important thing in getting married is that you are a good match. It's not that your father dislikes Shi Tao. You also see what he does. You can spend as much as you earn. Sometimes if you don't have enough money, he will ask you to borrow it. If he
It's about buying books and real estate, and my father won't say that he's not good at all, but look at him, he spends his whole day drinking and drinking with a bunch of so-called brothers, and if things go on like this, what's going on?"
"The Zhuge family is considered a prominent family in Langya, and is on the same level as my Huang family. The boy from the Zhuge family is now famous and has won many titles in Luodu. He is even more fortunate to be valued by Lord Wei. Such a child is your good choice.
It matches."
Huang Chengyan talked so earnestly, but he didn't know if his daughter heard it.
"But, he is much smaller than me, and my face..." Huang Yueying touched her slightly sallow face with a miserable expression.
Huang Chengyan saw this and comforted him with a smile: "It doesn't matter how old you are. As for your face, it's already much better. It can be seen that Wei Jun's ointment is useful. This time you return to Beijing to report on your father's duties, so take the opportunity to report to me."
Mr. Wei, please ask for some more medicine, and I think he will be able to recover in another half a year."
Huang Yueying nodded, finally there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
···
After leaving the shipyard, Liu Bei quickly caught up with Liu Biao and asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
A trace of impatience flashed in Liu Biao's eyes. He took a deep breath and responded with a smile: "What else can we do? Let's land on the beach."
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, "Search for a beach landing?"
Liu Biao squinted, looked at the rough coast, and said: "While Cao Mengde hasn't crossed east yet, let's go to the island ahead of him. Our boat is small and much faster than his, so we should be able to arrive a few days in advance."
Liu Bei frowned and asked: "You also know that our boat is small, so what's the point of just rushing over there like this? At least we don't have all the people and supplies, so what's the difference between going and dying?"
Liu Biao stared at Liu Bei impatiently and said in a deep voice: "Then what do you think we should do, just wait and see? Just watch the Japanese island being captured by Cao Mengde's guys? Are you willing to do it?"
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.
Liu Biao snorted coldly, pushed him away, and said: "If you have time to hesitate, why not think more about how to reach the Japanese island safely? Do you really think that who can cross this sea in front of you if they just want to?"
Liu Bei was pushed and staggered. He raised his eyes and looked at the blue sea aside, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
He reached into his arms and took out the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" that he carried with him.
On the cover, Guan Yu is dressed in green tiger armor, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, twirling his beard and frowning, with shining phoenix eyes, showing his extraordinary majesty.
"Presumably in the near future, the Temple of War will have another new member." Liu Bei laughed at himself.
Both brothers are now prosperous, but he is the only one who still relies on others to survive in the cracks.
He could clearly see Liu Biao's impatient look just now, and he felt a little more uneasy about this trip to the Japanese island.
Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Biao were easy to get along with. Is it really the right choice to go east to the Japanese island?
Liu Bei couldn't help but ask himself.
But Liu Biao didn't give him a chance to hesitate.
In just two days, the first batch of people and materials for the eastward journey were organized, and Liu Bei was among them.
In the small cabin, Liu Biao put his arm around Liu Bei's shoulders and said with drunken eyes: "Don't worry, when we get to the Japanese island, we will make ourselves an emperor. Isn't he a king? Then I will be the emperor. Who will care about him then?"
Mr. Wei... hiccup, do you think so, Brother Xuande?"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and tried to persuade him to avoid disaster, but in the face of Liu Biao's men who were eyeing him, he felt deeply lonely and powerless.
It would be great if my second brother could be here at this time, so that I could speak more forcefully and not be so passive.
Liu Bei had never missed someone as much as he did today, especially a man.
Looking at the sparkling sea outside the window, Liu Bei sighed quietly, raised his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and two tears fell down.
"Second brother, third brother, sorry for my brother!"
