"Third General, wait a minute!" Guo Jia saw Zhang Fei being so irritable and quickly stopped him.
Zhang Feihuan glared and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, how come? Now that dog thief has bullied us, and you still want me to be slow, are you afraid?"
"Third brother, shut up! Calm down. You are not alone now. You are a general, and you have your subordinates." Liu Ming said loudly to Zhang Fei.
When Zhang Fei heard Liu Ming's words, he shivered. Yes! I am a general, I can't be anxious. I want to be calm. I still have my subordinates, and I have to consider the overall situation. Zhang Fei muttered to himself. At this time, Zhang Fei was being tortured
Later, the Qi nourishing technique he learned from Hua Tuo worked wonders, and Zhang Fei gradually calmed down and apologized to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia quickly replied: "The three generals have made progress in cultivating their minds."
Although Zhang Fei has an impatient temper, he is not stupid at all. After calming down, he immediately knew that Guo Jia had a deep meaning in blocking him. At that moment, Zhang Fei smiled and said to everyone and Guo Jia:
"Fengxiao, I also understand that I have a bad temper and sometimes I can't control myself. You and everyone here must bear with me and remind me at any time. However, Fengxiao, since you stopped me just now, there must be no
That’s very profound, I wonder what Feng Xiao has to say about this?”
Before Guo Jia could answer, Yang Jun said with a smile: "The third general is too praised. This temperament changes little by little. As long as the third general has this intention, the third general will become a general sooner or later."
." At this point, Yang Jun looked at Zhang Fei approvingly, and then continued: "Let me speak for Feng Xiao on behalf of the three generals."
Yang Jun looked at Guo Jia and saw that Guo Jia had no objections, and then he analyzed triumphantly: "Actually, it was a helpless move for Fengxiao to stop the three generals just now. Although we all know that this matter must have been caused by Gongsun Zan and the others.
, but we have no evidence. Although the Wuheng envoy defeated the troops pretending to be bandits sent by Gongsun Zan, they did not capture anyone alive. They could only infer from the fighting methods of those bandits that it might be Gongsun Zan.
Empirically, how can we determine the guilt of Gongsun Zan? Now my lord and Gongsun Zan are ministers in the same palace, and they are both officials of the Han Dynasty. If the three generals cannot convict Gongsun Zan of his guilt and rashly raise an army to attack, they will definitely be killed.
The imperial court is criticizing! This is a sensitive time for rebellions in various places. If the imperial court determines that we are disobedient and intend to rebel, and arrests us for questioning, won't the lord's foundation be destroyed in one day? Even if we are beaten by then.
We resisted stubbornly, but how could we, as a state with an unstable foundation when we first took over Youzhou, resist the soldiers and horses from all over the country? With the momentum of millions of Yellow Turbans, it was just destroyed. Zhang Chun, Zhang
Even if we gather 100,000 soldiers and horses internally and contact all the Wuheng clans externally, we can't escape the public display. Although our soldiers and horses are stronger than them in combat effectiveness, they are far less in number than them. How can we..."
When Yang Jun just said this, Guo Jia interjected: "Yang Lao Shenyan. How can we go against the imperial court?"
Yang Jun quickly stopped the topic and secretly blamed himself: Oh! Why did I get carried away? Although everyone here is the lord's confidant, there is no possibility of the news leaking. But such a secret matter, how can we talk about it lightly! If this is spread
If I go out, won't it ruin the lord's important affairs? It seems that my handling of things is still inferior to Fengxiao. It is really a blessing for the lord to have Fuxiao. At that moment, Yang Jun complained to Liu Ming: "Old old man
I was confused and spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, my lord."
Liu Ming didn't care much about this, because Liu Ming knew that the Han Dynasty would not survive for a few more years, but Liu Ming still admired and appreciated Guo Jiade's rigor and meticulousness. So he said to Yang Jun: "Mr. Yang, you don't have to
I care. Everyone here is well aware of my ambitions. They will not lie and they will not blame Mr. Yang. However, the words of filial piety are not unreasonable. Mr. Yang can just pay attention."
After Liu Ming finished speaking to Yang Jun, he turned to Guo Jiayan and said: "We all know the reason why we cannot use troops against Gongsun Zan because of our filial piety. But now that the matter has come to this, what countermeasures should we take now?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia reported back to Liu Ming: "My lord, Gongsun Zan intercepted and killed the Wu Heng envoy just to destroy my lord's appeasement of the Wu Heng tribes. Now that the Wu Heng envoy has come to us safely, we just need to hurry up."
By making an alliance with the Wuheng tribes, Gongsun Zan's treacherous plan will be defeated. Then, we only need to report the heads of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, as well as the alliance of the Wuheng tribes to the imperial court, and then naturally
It will be a great achievement. It will also put an end to Gongsun Zan’s delusion. Then, we will force Gongsun Zan to garrison the garrison, reduce the army, and no longer support their money, food, troops and horses. Then it won’t take long for Gongsun Zan’s troops to be defeated.
Collapse. Even if Gongsun Zan uses local power to support himself, the situation where Gongsun Zan and Wu Heng and other clans are severely weakened will definitely not be able to sustain it for long. If he wants to develop and grow, it will be impossible. By then,
My lord, I don't have to waste a single soldier, I can take care of Gongsun Zan in the palm of my hand, why wouldn't I do it?"
After everyone listened to Guo Jia's plan, they all thought that Guo Jia was too cunning and poisonous. As the saying goes: There is no better way to plot poison than to run out of food. This Guo Jia is basically plotting against Gongsun Zan. But Guo Jia is his own person in this regard, and he is really ours.
Lucky.
Liu Ming was also very proud that he could get Guo Jia to his account in advance. Not only did Guo Jia think carefully about things, but every idea he recalled was so spot on. So Liu Ming concluded: "In this case, if everyone
If you don’t have anything to suggest for improvement, then we will act according to Guo Jiade’s suggestions.”
However, Liu Ming obviously forgot that before signing a contract with Wu Heng, he had to marry Wu Liya, the daughter of King Qiu Liju of Wu Heng, as his concubine. However, Liu Ming could not forget that Guo Jia and Yang
Can the military also be forgotten?
At that time, as Liu Ming's words fell, Yang Jun and Guo Jia looked at each other and said to Liu Ming at the same time: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we will prepare for the wedding of the Wu Heng woman as his concubine tomorrow."
Liu Ming, seeing the two of them talking so neatly, knew that these two people were angry, and this matter could be said to be inevitable. At the moment, Liu Ming had nothing to say, so he had to agree, whatever Yang Jun, Guo Jia
The two made arrangements as they pleased.
The next day, it was another lively day in Liu Ming's house. However, after all, Liu Ming was just taking a concubine. This behavior was far worse than when he married Cai Yan. It neither alarmed any dignitaries in the court nor did it.
Alarming officials from all over Youzhou, everything was going on in Liu Ming's mansion with great excitement, but the outside world was silent.
Liu Ming was still very tired from taking concubines this time, but this time he was not tired from the wedding, but was tired from having to receive envoys from various tribes in Wuheng before the wedding. Among the envoys, the one that attracted Liu Ming's attention the most
Just Tadun.
Tadun appears as Wu Liya's brother.
When Liu Minggang met Tadun, he felt that Tadun was extraordinary. He saw that Tadun was over ten feet tall, with a short neck and a thick neck, a big belly and a waist. His face was as big as a washbasin, he had broom eyebrows, and he had golden eyes.
, a big forked mouth, an aquiline nose, a set of yellow teeth, and a big thick lip. However, Tadun wore a beard with double pheasant feathers on his head, a brocade-woven Hu suit, and a red robe.
He is really very majestic and powerful. Liu Ming's first impression of Tadun is that Tadun is definitely a man of extraordinary bravery and perseverance.
Later, during the conversation between Liu Ming and Tadun, they discovered that Tadun was thoughtful and thoughtful. Although he looked rough and arrogant, he was actually a resourceful person. Fortunately, what he wanted to discuss during this meeting with the Wuheng envoys had already been discussed at the beginning.
It was settled, and there are no changes now. Both parties happily signed the agreement, and then congratulated Liu Ming and Wu Liya on their marriage. Tadun even used this to establish a relationship with Liu Ming and praised Liu Ming.
At the same time, he also constantly boasted about Wu Liya's beauty.
But Liu Ming felt great pity for this woman Wu Liya whom he had never met before. Such a pitiful woman was betrayed by her parents and brothers, and Liu Ming also felt guilty of abducting women.
Feeling. But no matter what, I must take this concubine Wu Liya.
After signing the peace treaty, Guo Jia sent a battalion of strong cavalry to escort Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju's heads, and the surrender letters of the Wuheng clan to Luoyang, to hand over to Houde, and let Houde pass Zhang Rang's
Of course, in the surrender letter, compensation for horses to the Wu Heng and other tribes, and the opening of the market in Tianma City were not mentioned. They only expressed surrender to the Han Dynasty.
the meaning of.
Although the wedding held for Wu Liya later was still lively and grand, it was only for the Wuheng clan to see. Guo Jia did not hold a ceremony of worship for Liu Ming and Wu Liya at all. Then Wu Liya even
When entering Liu Ming's house, he was also carried into Liu Ming's house through the side door. After entering the house, he first saluted Cai Yan and then walked into the new house. So that Liu Ming had never seen Wu Liya at all.
Liu Ming had nothing to say about this. Guo Jia said: "Concubinage is just like this. The identity of a concubine is just better than that of a maid. How can it be too showy? Even if you are the emperor, where
The "Book of Rites" also stipulates: "After the emperor, there are six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives." And the "Book of Rites" also stipulates: "The king's concubines have hundreds of concubines."
Twenty people: one queen, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven married women, and eighty-one female concubines.' With your current status, Lord, since you have a wife, of course the other concubines cannot be called
Madam, I can only receive such a standard of treatment." At this point, Liu Ming had nothing to say, so he had to admit it. He put Wu Liya aside and greeted the guests resignedly.
No matter what, the lively and tiring day will eventually pass. Liu Ming finally walked into the new house for the second time. But as soon as he entered the new house, Liu Ming was stunned.
What's the matter? Last time Liu Ming and Cai Yan went to the wedding hall to get married, Cai Yan was the only one in the bridal chamber and the new house. Even if he went in by himself, there were only two of them. But now it's better, the new house is actually full of people.
Liu Ming carefully counted the people in the room. Except for the woman sitting on the bed, who should be Wu Liya, the daughter of Wu Hengqiu Liju, there were nine Wu Heng beauties standing in the new house.
.These nine women are all stunningly beautiful, tall and full of exotic charm, but the most outstanding one is Wu Liya sitting on the bedside. This Wu Liya's beauty and temperament are no better than Cai Yan's.
There is only a slight difference, and this woman is half a head taller than Cai Yan, and only a point or two shorter than Liu Ming himself. There is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which makes her appear graceful and graceful.
She has a hint of virility, especially when Wu Liya wears orange embroidered trousers, embroidered deerskin boots, and a goose-yellow petticoat. This petticoat may be for the convenience of horseback riding.
Liya's legs are so slender and strong.
Liu Ming was watching the women in the house in a daze. The nine women standing in the house knelt down and saluted Liu Ming. They said to Liu Ming in Chinese dialect that was not very fluent: "Welcome to your room, my lord. I'll wait for you."
Your regards, my lord."
Liu Ming was immediately startled and thought: What happened to Guo Jia? Didn't Guo Jia agree to take a concubine? How come there are so many people now? Liu Ming blurted out: "You all get up and talk first. Are you?
Isn't it a mistake?" As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. Some people bought the wrong things, some admitted that they were wrong about their husbands, and even if there were, there was not a bunch of people admitting that they were wrong. There must be some of them.
Things you don’t understand.
The Wu Heng women who gave Liu Ming a gift didn't know what Liu Ming was talking about, so they all looked at the woman sitting on the bed.
The woman waved her hand and casually said something in Wu Heng's language. The women who were kneeling on the ground all stood up and stepped aside. At this time, the woman said in a skilled Central Plains dialect: "Liu
Lord Ming, the little girl is Wu Liya, the daughter of King Qiu Liju of Wuheng. They are all sisters of my own clan and are my concubines. The little girl has been taught by her father since she was a child, and she admires the culture of the Central Plains very much.
He is a hero who loves the Central Plains. It is a blessing for the little girl to marry an adult now. However, the little girl has only listened to others talk about him and has never seen it with her own eyes.
Moreover, I, the sisters who are dowry, have practiced crude martial arts for a few days, and learned rudimentary poetry for a few days. I have long wanted to ask a hero for advice. Now that we are marrying you, we will use your martial arts to
, Cai Xue should be able to give them some advice, and besides, our sisters are already your lord’s wives and concubines, so your lord should not be stingy with giving us some advice, right?”
