Chapter 123 Wearing Tiger Skin and Calling the King
The fifty or sixty Guandong thieves led by Du Chang, who were defeated and dispersed in the battle with Yuan Shao in the north, met the powerful Liu Qi in Nanyang Xinye. The entire army was wiped out, leaving no one alive.
After the battle, Liu Qi and Huang Wudie walked side by side to the road leading to Xinye City, waiting for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield before setting off.
Although the sunset was beautiful at this time, it was getting dusk and the night was slowly coming over.
Walking to the main road, to express his gratitude, Liu Qi said without any words: "Junior sister, you helped me again."
After fighting against the thieves, Huang Wudie looked very excited after scattering a handful of pear blossom needles. This was the second time she fought side by side with the young master Liu Qi. After a fierce battle, the grievances she suffered when leaving Xiangyang were wiped away.
It feels good to think about killing people, especially bad guys.
"Sir, I'm not helping you. You have so many personal guards, so you don't need my help. I'm helping the unarmed villagers." Huang Wudie replied quietly.
Liu Qi chuckled: "Junior sister, you are so noble. How about this county magistrate appoints you as the head of this village and leads these people to open up wasteland and farm and live and work in peace and contentment?"
Huang Wudie was startled, stopped and glared at Liu Qi, teasing: "No, young master, if you want to send me away, you should have told me earlier. Why do you need a little village chief to send me away? I won't do it."
Well. Young Master, I think you will be a high official in the future, and I don’t want to be the village chief."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to do..."
Liu Qi felt quite uncomfortable seeing Huang Wudie's serious look. It turns out that chivalrous women also have soft bones, but Huang Wudie said: "I haven't thought about it yet, so I won't tell you now."
Liu Qi said: "Okay, junior sister, tell me after you think about it, as long as I can do it." Liu Qi said with ulterior motives and glanced at Huang Wudie, who had a faint blush on his face, thinking that he wanted to be my husband.
The talent is good.
At this time, Chen Wen was cleaning the battlefield with his soldiers, and Wen Dai had also driven two carriages down to the foot of the mountain with his personal guards, Huan'er and the maid in the mansion.
Huan'er hurriedly ran towards Liu Qi and asked anxiously: "Master, are you okay?" He blushed and called Huang Wudie in a low voice, Sister Wudie. His heart was full of thoughts, if he could be as skilled as Huang Wudie.
, at this time, he must have been accompanied by the young master Liu Qi in a heroic manner.
Of course Liu Qi could see Huan'er's concerned look, stretched his muscles, pointed to the corpses of people and horses on the ground, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, my junior sister and soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. My master is blessed with great fortune, and I haven't yet seen him."
People can hurt me, look what will happen to these gangsters."
"Young master, with his good fortune, he will definitely be safe." Huang Wudie said, and she could see Huan'er's special concern for Liu Qi. Suddenly, a sour taste came out of her heart, and she said, "Sister Huan'er, help me."
My sister took out the tiger-skin cloak. At this moment, the young master is ready to win, and it is the time for him to show off his power as a tiger."
Huan'er left in response, but Huang Wudie thought about it in her mind. Young Master Liu Qi has a sense of justice and a bloody spirit. He is an upright and beautiful man. He has the same temper with himself, and I am afraid he can have the same temper with any woman. What is this young master like?
All good, but one major drawback is that he is too good to women. I am afraid that he will be a passionate person in the future, and he cannot let Mr. Liu Qi be tempted by a pretty woman when he sees her.
Before Huang Wudie left Xiangyang, she got some words from her brother Huang Xu about the women around Liu Qi. She knew that Huan'er was Liu Qi's personal maid. Although she was a maid, her status was quite high in the young master's house.
If Huan'er's life experience were not unknown, there is a high probability that she would be the child bride-in-law of the young master Liu Qi.
Huang Wudie's mind was very strange. He thought about it in a mess. After much deliberation, he finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to tie up Liu Qi's heart with Huan'er in the future. Huang Wudie would
Do you not believe that with two beautiful women accompanying the young master Liu Qi, the young master can still look for flowers and make love?
Liu Qi didn't know that the ancient woman Huang Wudie would have such a strong desire to tie up a man's heart. Facing the current situation, Liu Qi was not considering the love between his children, but the military intelligence provided by the thieves in Guandong. Now Xinye City is under duress.
The commander-in-chief took control, and there were also bandits in surrounding counties. No wonder there are a lot of records in history books about the bandits and clans who caused chaos during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the chaos reached such an extent that even the county magistrate dared to kill and even take the county seat. Such
The troubled times are simply chaotic.
Liu Qi stood on a yellow rock by the side of the road, his heart racing, thinking about what to do next, how to start from a small new wild order in the rebirth of the Three Kingdoms, how to grow from small to big, from weak to strong.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Qi thinks that the main focus for the next step is to find out the banditry situation in Nanyang County, eliminate the bandits in Xinye City, occupy Xinye City as a base, farm and develop production, recruit troops and strengthen the strength, and then step by step, battalion by battalion.
Gradually wipe out the bandits in the surrounding counties and establish a strong sphere of influence. When the time comes, you will have food in your hands and you will not panic; you will have soldiers in your hands, who dares to bully you?
Liu Qi ambitiously imagined that by going from Xinye to the entire Nanyang, and then controlling the seven counties of Jingzhou, he would then be able to compete with Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the east of the Yangtze, and Liu Bei in the Shu Kingdom to compete for world hegemony. How passionate and majestic he would be at that time
So arrogant...
As his thoughts flowed, in the cold wind of winter evening and the wisps of the setting sun before nightfall, Liu Qi became passionate and poetic. Unconsciously, he recited "Twenty Twenty" by Yang Shen, a writer in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with full emotion.
The third paragraph of "Yi Shi Tan Ci" talks about the opening words of the Qin and Han Dynasties: The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and all the heroes are swept away by the wild flowers. Right and wrong, success or failure turns to nothing, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times...
When Liu Qi was about to recite the second half, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. What did the last sentence mean? "So many things in ancient and modern times were all laughed at?" Wouldn't the soldiers be very discouraged if they heard this?
"Success or failure turns to nothing." Perhaps the soldiers thought Liu Qi was referring to the thieves who were defeated and whose bodies were found in different places, but "the green hills are still there, and the sunsets are red several times" is quite suitable for the occasion, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Good poem." Chen Wen, who was helping to clean the battlefield, did not get close to Liu Qi due to the presence of Huang Wudie. When Liu Qi recited it, he pretended to listen carefully. Chen Wen naturally didn't know that Liu Qi was just reciting it.
The first half of Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortal" poem.
"Brother Wen, thank you." Liu Qi smiled slightly, neither criticizing nor being able to criticize who was the work of later generations. However, Liu Qi could basically praise Chen Wen as "good poetry" instead of "good lyrics".
Chen Wen, who must have a careful mind and rarely make mistakes, is not the master of Zhuge Liang or some later great talent who was reborn through time, because Liu Qi recited "ci" rather than "poetry".
"Sir, you can also recite poetry." Huang Wudie praised happily. Her daughter Huang Wudie, who has always loved wielding knives and guns as well as cutting and sewing, although not good at poetry, was fascinated by the majestic poems recited by Liu Qi.
Still quite happy.
"Haha, my master is capable of bringing peace and stability to the country with his martial arts, but my junior sister has underestimated me." Taking advantage of the opportunity to win, Liu Qi had a rare opportunity to win, and couldn't help but laugh, feeling high-spirited.
"Hmph, since ancient times, hardships have produced heroes, and there has always been a dandy." Huang Wudie hummed in his heart, and finally suppressed himself from saying these words that disappointed Liu Qi, but he was deeply attracted by Liu Qi's confidence and suaveness.
"Sister Wudie, I brought the tiger skin cloak." Huan'er held out the tiger skin.
Huang Wudie took the tiger skin and unfolded it, saying, "Sister Huan'er, come and help me put it on the young master."
Huan'er blushed and stood still. She didn't expect that in front of everyone, she and Huang Wudie would put a tiger skin cloak on Liu Qi. She always felt a little...
"Come on, sister." Huang Wudie pulled off Huan'er's little hand, and without explanation, she put it on Liu Qi. Huang Wudie turned to Liu Qi and tied the neck button of the cloak. A gust of wind blew up and lifted the cloak.
The tiger-skin cloak on Liu Qi's shoulders borrowed the brilliance of the tiger skin and showed the majesty of General Liu Qi.
Suddenly, another gust of wind swept by. Chen Wen squinted and saw a white shadow coming towards him. He shouted, "No, no!" and turned around to protect Liu Qi and block the intruder. However, the ape king, who was wounded by arrows and covered with white bandages, rushed towards him.
The ape king knocked Chen Wen aside. To be precise, the ape king should be the registered ape general at this time. However, he saw that the ape general ignored him and knelt down with a plop.
His mouth was squeaking and humming a tune that humans could not understand, which attracted sideways glances from the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Seeing the ape general like this, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't understand what the ape was shouting for a while, he understood from the ape general's kowtow and kneel posture imitating human beings. The ape general who dared to understand human nature saw that the young master Liu Qi was wearing a tiger skin, so he
Liu Qi was worshiped as the king of the mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Wen lost no time, knelt down and knelt down, raised his hands and shouted: "Congratulations to the young master for wearing the tiger skin, he will definitely be king one day. Please allow me, Chen Wen, to pay my respects first and wish the king to bring peace to the world, support the Han Dynasty, and protect the country of the Han Dynasty forever."
As solid as gold, I will always bless the people of the Han Dynasty to be as prosperous as the East Sea."
Chen Wu was not around, and when he saw Chen Wen calling his son Liu Qi the king, he was excited. He imitated the clever Chen Wen, picked up a spear from the ground, tapped the yellow earth rhythmically, and shouted slogans: "
A strong army will make a strong country." Immediately, two hundred soldiers also picked up their weapons and shouted, and the sound of a strong army spread dozens of miles with the wind.
"Brother Wen, hurry up and invite me, I'm sorry for you." Liu Qi was also happy. It felt so good to be called a king. It took Cao Cao the title of King of Wei and Liu Bei to call the King of Hanzhong for decades. I, Liu Qi,
Isn't it a great joy in life to be called a king by the soldiers based on a tiger skin?
"The ape's body is injured and needs intensive treatment. Huan'er needs to be more worried." Liu Qi told Chen Wen and the ape general to lift them up one by one. He looked up and saw Huang Wudie with a smile as bright as a flower, and Huang Wudie's eyes were overflowing.
tears of happiness.
No wonder Huang Wudie was so happy. She sewed the tiger-skin cloak overnight and saw the young master Liu Qi put on the tiger skin and proclaimed himself king. For Huang Wudie, there was nothing happier and happier than seeing the young master Liu Qi. Everyone left
The grievances and bitterness in Xiangyang and being able to be with the young master Liu Qi are not worth mentioning.
After Liu Qi helped Chen Wen up, he leaned close to Chen Wen's ear and carefully warned: "Brother Wen, joking about calling yourself king will cause trouble. You must laugh it off and don't spread it."
Chen Wen blinked at Liu Qi, smiled mysteriously, and replied: "Don't worry, young master, I have my own sense of propriety as a brother."
