Chapter 649: Everyone Returns to the Han and Qi Offers Captives
There are troops all around the Zen platform. How could anyone cause trouble? If Princess Wannian was not Liu Zhang's niece, she would never even get even half a step closer to the Zen platform. When smoke and dust rose in the distance, the veteran generals who had been fighting for decades immediately
It was seen that there was a large army marching. But with Liu Zhang ascending the throne, which army would dare to act randomly? For a moment, everyone was in a daze!
"Come here, let's see which bastard dares to make trouble at this time!" Others didn't react, but Liu Zhang, who was standing on the high platform, was angry. He didn't want to ascend the throne, but under Huang Zhong's instigation, he decided to give everyone a
Explain. But someone made trouble at the most glorious moment, and a raging fire suddenly ignited in his heart!
"No!" As soon as Liu Zhang gave the order, Dianman rushed out, but before he had gone far, he heard a loud shout, which stopped him!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, big brother is on the throne, how can you not be without me..." The muffled voice was like thunder, the knight in black armor, black horse, and black body took the lead. The beard on his face stood up, his eyes widened, and the eight-foot-long sword in his hand
The snake spear shines brightly!
"Yide, it's Yide!" Seeing this person, Liu Zhang was stunned, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he roared: "Get out of the way, let them come over!"
"No!" After hearing Liu Zhang's order, the soldiers immediately opened a road to let the visitors pass.
The horses' hooves hit the ground with a loud roar. The army stopped outside the crowd. Only five riders rushed over. It was these five riders that made Liu Zhang's face full of excitement.
"See Your Majesty!" The five people rushed to the foot of the meditation platform, immediately jumped off their horses, and knelt on the ground. Seeing the dragon robe on Liu Zhang's body and the crown on his head, the visitors knew that he had proclaimed himself emperor and would no longer call him emperor.
He is the king!
"Shi Yuan, Yide, Meng Qi, Wen Yuan, Ling Ming!" Liu Zhang was extremely excited. He really didn't expect that on the day he ascended the throne, the disappeared brothers would actually come back. He rushed down from the Zen platform,
He lifted the five people up one by one, with excitement on their faces!
"Your Majesty, we are back late!" Pang Tong has not seen each other for ten years, and his temples are already gray, which shows that he has suffered a lot!
"It's not too late, it's not too late at all, just come back!" Holding Pang Tong's hand, Liu Zhang really didn't know what to say, so he could only look at them with excitement on his face.
"Brother, we have been traveling all the way to find out that you ascended the throne today. In order to rush, we did not wait for the report from the Ministry of Intelligence. Don't be angry!" It was indeed exciting to see Liu Zhang. After all, he had not seen him for ten years. But he just caused trouble
The mistake was not small. Zhang Fei had been afraid of Liu Zhang since he was a child, so he quickly apologized.
"It's okay!" Seeing Zhang Fei and others returning, Liu Zhang still remembered the chaos just now. He hugged Zhang Fei and said: "Where have you bastards been to die for me in the past ten years? The Intelligence Department has been repeatedly
I've searched around, but there's no news about you! You don't know that first Gongjin and Xingba disappeared at sea, and then you disappeared in Northern Xinjiang. You are stabbing my heart with a knife!"
"Brother, I'm sorry for you!" Zhang Fei knelt down again, tears streaming down his face. He was nearly sixty years old, crying like a child!
"Get up!" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "I have been waiting for a long time today, but it is a pity that Gongjin, Xingba died in the sea..."
"Your Majesty, we are all back. Xingba and Gongjin may be lucky and happy. Today is the day for you to ascend the throne and become emperor. How can you delay it for us and ask your Majesty to continue the ceremony?" Liu Zhang still thought when he saw it.
Asking, Pang Tong couldn't let him continue asking, otherwise when would the ceremony end?
"Mr. Pang's words make sense!" Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please continue the ceremony!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang walked back to the stage and shouted loudly: "Today is the day when I ascend the throne, but my brothers have returned. It can be said to be a double happiness. I will not hesitate to reward you. Now..."...
"Your Majesty, wait a moment!" Another voice interrupted Liu Zhang, and he saw Guo Jia and Jia Xu rushing over with a piece of information.
"Fengxiao, what's wrong?" Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, do you have some military affairs?"
"No, no!" Guo Jia said hurriedly: "It's not a military situation, it's a great joy!"
"Oh?" Liu Zhang asked, "Why are you so happy?"
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Xinfeng Port: Yesterday evening, a fleet entered the port, holding the Jinfan Army's traffic order, and hastily rushed to Chang'an. The guard suspected that it was Zhou Yu and Gan Ning's soldiers, so he did not dare to stop it.
, It should be here soon!" Jia Xu was also full of excitement. He knew that Liu Zhang had been thinking about Zhou Yu and others for ten years.
"What? Are you serious?" Liu Zhang was so happy that he couldn't believe it!
"Whoever dares to deceive Your Majesty, aren't they afraid that you will blame him?" The news was full of joy, and Jia Xu also made a rare joke.
"Okay..." Liu Zhang was overjoyed and shouted again: "Soldiers and subjects, today is not a double happiness, but a triple happiness. I hereby declare that the Jinfan Navy, which has made great achievements in the past, has also
They are coming back. I ask you, are you willing to wait for their return with me?"
"I am willing... I am willing..." Under the high platform, all the soldiers and people shouted in unison. They admired the generals who brought them a happy life from the bottom of their hearts.
Time passed by, and the sun slowly climbed to its highest peak, and it was almost noon, but Jinfan's soldiers had not appeared yet. Everyone was a little anxious, and Liu Zhang was no exception.
"Your Majesty, I might have been delayed on the road, so don't wait any longer!" Seeing that it was getting late, Guo Jia pulled Liu Zhang. Officials and soldiers can wait, but the people need to support their families and cannot go without work for a day.
"No!" Liu Zhang also looked at the sky. He pulled out the snake-killing sword from his waist and lay on the ground and said: "I will wait until noon. If they still can't come back by then, I won't wait any longer."
!”
"This..." Guo Jia wanted to persuade him again, but Jia Xu tugged on his sleeve, and the whole place fell into silence again.
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the sky is getting hotter and hotter. In order to prevent the people from suffering, Liu Zhang ordered that those who are willing to wait can stay and wait, and those who are unwilling to wait can leave. Faced with such a grand event, a person may not live a lifetime.
How could the people be willing to leave after meeting him once? Liu Zhang sympathized with the people and asked them to sit down and wait.
The sun finally reached its highest point, and the shadow of the snake-cutting sword also became a starting point, but there was still no movement in the north. Just when Liu Zhang was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats very clearly. He looked back and saw several horses galloping in the direction of Tongguan.
They came. The leader had bird feathers on his head and was wearing a brocade robe, which coincided with the image in Liu Zhang's memory.
"Are you late?" A loud shout echoed throughout the world. Apart from Zhang Fei, there were really few people who could compare with his voice.
"It's not too late!" Liu Zhang shouted and stood up. He raised his hands to greet those who came.
"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty, I have returned!" Gan Ning was also very excited, and when he remembered that he had been drifting on the sea for more than ten years, tears fell down his cheeks.
"Okay..." Liu Zhang hugged Gan Ning who was about to kneel down, and Liu Zhang's joy was beyond words. Although Gan Ning was not the first group of people to follow Liu Zhang, he was still considered a veteran under Liu Zhang. He had been worried about Gan Ning for more than ten years, and now he
How could Liu Zhang not be excited when he returned?
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I have been wandering overseas for more than ten years, which makes you worried!" As soon as he entered the Han Dynasty, Gan Ning inquired about the situation in the DPRK. At Xinfeng Port, he also asked the guard about Liu Zhang's situation. Naturally,
Knowing that Liu Zhang had not ascended the throne for more than ten years because of them, how could he not be moved?
"Just come back!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed that these old brothers could come back. Everything else was just a cloud. However, how could the return of Gan Ning and Zhang Fei be so simple?…
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited. I have good news for you!" Gan Ning smiled mysteriously. Unlike Zhang Fei, he only thought of brotherhood when he saw Liu Zhang. After all, his relationship with Liu Zhang was on a lower level, so he
More eager to show off his merits.
"Oh?" After the initial excitement, Liu Zhang also recovered. He glanced at everyone, but found that Zhou Yu was not among them. He immediately frowned and asked: "By the way, why don't you see Gong Jin?"
"This is the good news I want to tell your Majesty!" Gan Ning said with a smile: "We encountered a storm at sea and were accidentally blown to an island. There are many people on the island, but their clothes and language are different from those of the Han people. There are also some
The idea of imitating a big man. Seeing our suffering, the soldiers and civilians on the island actually wanted to rob us, but we defeated them. Later, we found out that it was called the Japanese country!"
"Japan?" Liu Zhang frowned and asked, "What did you do to those Japanese people?"
"How can we keep them if they dare to attack us? Anyone who resists will be killed by us! Not to mention, given our combat power, those Japanese people are as obedient as dogs!"
"Gan Ning smiled slightly. He didn't care about becoming an executioner and was even proud of it!
"Okay!" Liu Zhang sneered: "From today on, you will hunt down Japanese men for me, and I will use these people as my chamberlain!"
"Uh..." Gan Ning blinked and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear: "Your Majesty, you want the Japanese nation to be exterminated!"
"You are right!" Liu Zhang said: "Originally, I established the navy to make the surrounding countries surrender. Since you did it first, I will naturally continue! However, the Japanese country is very close to us. Why did it take you ten years to come back?
?”
Gan Ning smiled bitterly and said: "It's not our fault. When we arrived in Japan, we didn't know the direction. Although there was Sinan in Japan, we didn't know which direction the Han Dynasty was in Japan. Those who knew how to get to Han Dynasty were all nobles of Japan, but
They were all slaughtered by us. So, we walked eastward and met a big island, so we went up to camp. Who knew, the indigenous people on the island actually dared to attack us, so we conquered the island. Not to mention, for
It took four years to conquer the people on the island!"
"Big island?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "How big is that island?"
"About three or four times that of the Japanese country! Unfortunately, the people on the island are still living a life of slash-and-burn farming. After we conquered it, we left a group of soldiers to guard it, teach the islanders writing, and also told them that from now on,
They are the subjects of the Han Dynasty!" Gan Ning said with a shy face: "Your Majesty, you said that if you expand the territory for thousands of miles, you can be granted the title of marquis, and if you expand the territory for thousands of miles, you can be granted the title of king! If I don't want to be granted the title of king, I will be satisfied with the title of a duke.
Got it!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang laughed and patted Gan Ning's shoulder. Although he didn't know where Gan Ning and Zhou Yu had conquered, he knew how big the Japanese country was. There were three or four islands as big as the Japanese country, either in Australia or in the north and south.
America. If these two places are really the case, let alone the king, they can even be the emperor! Anyway, the emperor is far away, and Gan Ning and Zhou Yu stay there to proclaim themselves emperors, and Liu Zhang can't control them. Since they can come back, it means that they
Loyal. Liu Zhang was never stingy with those who were loyal to him.
"Tch, what is this?" Zhang Fei, who was standing aside, heard Gan Ning boasting and said with some dissatisfaction: "Commander Pang and I also fought in many places, one of which was called Junsha Fort, and another...
In the horse place, there were several gangs of people who were fighting fiercely, and it was very chaotic. We directly captured their emperor, what is the name of it, it is too complicated, I can't remember it!"
"Constantinople and Rome?" Liu Zhang's eyes flashed. Today's Rome, like the Han Dynasty, is in a period of war. Of course, Rome also had a great king at this time. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang was not familiar with Western history.
I don’t know the name of that king!….
"The eldest brother is the eldest brother. You can guess this. It's not easy!" Zhang Fei raised his thumbs up with admiration on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, what happened next?" Liu Zhang was also a little excited when he heard that Zhang Fei and others had reached Rome.
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Actually, at the beginning, we just wanted to ask for directions, but who would have thought that they would dare to scold us. In anger, I led troops to rush into their city. Who would have thought that they would dare to lead troops to encircle and suppress us?
We, we are not vegetarians. We had more than 200,000 cavalry, and they were defeated directly. In the end, there was no way, their emperor actually wanted to challenge us. I thought the emperor of the other side was brave, but he was a silver man.
Wen Yuan didn't even take three moves with the wax gun head!"
"You destroyed Rome?" Liu Zhang blinked in disbelief. Although Pang Tong led all elite cavalry, Rome was still a powerful country in the West, so how could it be destroyed so easily?
"How can we keep it?" Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Big Brother once said that anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is. If you don't defeat him, wouldn't you be disrespecting Big Brother's teachings?"
"Well said!" Liu Zhang said with a smile, stroking his hands: "Now that you are gone, aren't you afraid of rebellion over there?"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Fei and Gan Ning said in unison; "Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed! Those monkeys who cannot speak human language have already been killed by us!"
"You are all heroes, my heroes!" Liu Zhang took the hands of the two of them and said: "I said that if you expand your territory to a thousand miles, you can be crowned a prince, if you expand your territory to thousands of miles, you can be crowned a king, and if you expand your territory to a million miles, you can be an emperor. Now you guys
I have conquered so much land, more than a million miles away, and I have made you emperor. Which of you is willing to govern the country?"
"We don't want to!" Not to mention Gan Ning, Zhang Fei, even Pang Tong, Ma Chao and others all knelt down. Under the encouragement of everyone, Pang Tong, the most resourceful, held up his hands and said: "We would rather be unknown people in the Han Dynasty.
If you don’t want to go to another country to become the king and hegemon, what fun is there in being with people who can’t even speak human words! Besides, we are not made to be emperors!”
"I am telling the truth, you don't have to doubt it!" Liu Zhang naturally knew how tempting it was to be an emperor, and he thought Pang Tong and others were being modest.
"What we are saying is true!" Pang Tong knelt on the ground and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want us anymore?"
"How could that happen?" Liu Zhang quickly helped a few people up and said, "There must be someone to manage the place that was conquered. Is it possible to return it to others?"
