Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 210 Your Majesty is Strong!

Before you know it, it's almost the end of the year and it's winter.

Snowflakes floated in the night sky in the deep winter, covering the Dahan Xingong with a layer of white snow.

The orange fire lamps were distributed little by little, illuminating the dark new palace. Snowflakes fell from the firelight, crystal and fine, and fell on the red cotton robes of Habayashi Wei. The moment was so peaceful.

The wind in the snowy night was biting, blowing through the new palace, the snowflakes shattered and fell down, the attendants outside the palace couldn't help tightening their clothes.

Although the weather was cold, it could not dispel the festive atmosphere.In the new palace, another lady was welcomed into the palace to serve the emperor of Han Dynasty.

On the steps of the palace, several teams of Habayashi guards patrol and watch the night.

The patrolling Habayashi guards walked in an orderly manner, and the metallic sound of the collision between armors resounded through the silent palace.

Habayashi Lang Li Gui held a long halberd and walked tall and straight in the snow. His task was to replace the former Habayashi guards of the palace.

The Habayashi guard who changed his guard braved the snow and marched to the steps.

Behind Li Gui, Habayashi Wei stopped in his tracks. Exhaling whitely alone, he took off his hood, walked up the steps slowly, and took out the official changing of guard document from the cuff of his cloak.

Habayashi Lang Zhao Ming, who was on guard at night, went down the steps, saluted slightly, took Li Gui's official document for the changing of the guard, and examined it carefully with the help of the faint light of the torch.

After confirming that it was correct, Zhao Ming showed a smile on his serious face, and said, "Wen Yi (Li Guizi), why are you here to change the guard tonight?"

Li Gui put the official document back on the cuff of his cloak and said with a smile, "Why can't it be me? I am also a member of the left guard of Habayashi."

After Liu Chan restored the Habayashi Guard, he divided the Habayashi Guard into two guards, left and right.Zuo Wei was selected from the great surname of Longyou and a son of a good family in Shu; the right guard was renamed from Xuanjiawei, selected from Nanzhong Liang's family and elite soldiers from the Three Guards.

Zhao Ming smiled sheepishly and said, "After Your Majesty accepted Mrs. Li, I thought you would no longer keep vigil!"

Li Gui smiled and said nothing, instead of dwelling too much on this topic, he clasped his fists and said, "Resolutely (Zhao Ming) can go back to the camp to rest, and we have to leave for Hanzhong tomorrow, so don't delay. The next few hours will be with you."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, signaling his subordinates to line up and prepare to return to camp.

Li Gui waved his hand, and the dozens of Habayashi guards who followed him jumped up the steps to take over their posts.

The Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty was wearing underwear at the window of the palace, seeing all this in his eyes.

Suddenly, a burst of fragrance hit, and Li Shu fell into her arms, leaning her head on Liu Chan's chest.Liu Chan embraced the unbearable slender waist, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of the beauty's hair.

"Your Majesty doesn't sleep on the couch, why are you here?" Li Shu asked gently.

Liu Chan sniffed the fragrance of his hair and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be beautiful to watch the snow scene with nephrite in his arms!"

Li Shu raised her head, looked at Liu Chan with a pair of deep beautiful eyes, lightly parted her red lips and said, "Although the concubine married to His Majesty not long ago, His Majesty has a sad look on his face, how can the concubine not see it?"

Liu Chan looked at the exquisite exotic beauty in his arms, and couldn't help rubbing her a little tighter lovingly.

After seizing Long, in order to further win over the relationship between the surname of Longyou and the great Han, the imperial court began to non-stop looking for women of the right age for the Han royal family.

The surnames of Longyou were also moved upon hearing the news, Li, Niu, Xin, Dong, Zhao and other dozens of families, hundreds of women entered the palace, and the Empress Dowager Wu and the Son of Heaven personally selected them.

Under the careful selection of the emperor, Li Shu, who is of the Li family in Longxi, who has the blood of the Western Regions, is ordered to serve in the palace.

And Li Shu's half-brother is Li Gui, the guard outside the palace.

Li Gui, styled Wenyi, was the son of the Li family of Didao in Longxi. He was good at bowing horses, discussing military affairs, and studying scriptures. He was an outstanding young talent in Longyou.

A hundred years later, Li Hao, the seventh generation grandson of Li Gui, established Xiliang, named King Wuzhao of Xiliang; hundreds of years later, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin pushed it to its peak.

Until late at night, Liu Chan didn't fall asleep. He lay on the imperial couch. Although he hugged the beauty, his mind was full of plans to seize Li Yan's military power. He didn't fall asleep until midnight...

Outside the palace, Li Gui was wearing armor, holding a halberd in his right hand, and a knife in his left hand, staring at the night with his eyes, guarding in front of the emperor's palace.

……

The next day, when Liu Chan got up early and was about to leave for Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang was heard outside the palace begging to see him.

Liu Chan was dressed in crimson clothes and hadn't put on his crown yet, but he didn't care about etiquette, so he went straight out of the palace gate to meet Zhuge Liang.

"Father Xiang came just in time. I wanted to summon Father Xiang into the palace for discussion this morning." Liu Chan asked as he came out of the palace holding the pheasant crown in his left hand.

Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised, clasped his hands and asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty led the Yulin cavalry to Hanzhong first, and let the former general follow?"

Liu Chan tied the rope under the crown and replied: "A few days ago, Li Yan used the reason that the soldiers were not ready, and postponed for six days to wait for the soldiers to be ready before raising troops to support Hanzhong. That's why I am worried about sending the Chinese army 40,000 people Going north will make Li Yan use this as an excuse to continue to refuse to go to Hanzhong. This matter should not be a long night and dreamy, everything needs to be careful."

After the Northern Expedition to Longyou, the great Han stayed in Qinzhou with 60,000 people, but these 60,000 people were not streamlined, and still contained a large number of old and weak.Only the soldiers who returned to Shu were left and Zhuge Liang screened out the old and the weak and sent troops to serve as the people. The Chinese army reduced the number of soldiers to 40,000 people.

"That's why I personally led the Yulin cavalry and headed for Hanzhong with light clothes. It will only take a few days to arrive in Hanzhong. After Li Yan arrives, General Zhao will host a banquet for him. I will take this opportunity to seize his military power and forgive my subordinates, so that we can be stable." Liu Chan straightened his crown and said.

"As for the army of 40,000 people in the Chinese army, after Li Yan's military power is seized, Xiang's father will lead the army to Qinzhou. I mentioned earlier that Xiang's father will go to Hanzhong in February next year. After thinking about it, I don't know when Cao Wei will attack me. The big man, but I think that Cao Wei's army will be sent in spring as early as possible, and autumn as late as possible, and Qinzhou needs to be deployed early." Liu Chan said.

"I don't know what Xiangfu thinks?" Liu Chan stopped his movements and asked.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. I have been planning Cao Wei for a long time. A few days ago, I received an official document from the governor of Qinzhou, which said that Guo Huai, the governor of Liangzhou in Cao Wei, would win over the Qiang people, hoard food and grass, and prepare the army for war. General Cao Zhen is also gathering soldiers in Guanzhong, stockpiling food and grass, ready to move."

"Father Xiang agrees, and if there is no objection, I will go to Hanzhong." Liu Chan took Ma Qian and said, ready to set off.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment. Seeing that today's son was determined, he swallowed back the words of advice in his mouth, and then said: "I have no objection, but your majesty still needs to be careful. If Li Yan is prepared, your majesty can't force him to do it. It's better to appease him." However, after repelling Cao Wei, Li Yan has nothing to worry about."

"Good! Xiangfu should pay attention to his health in Chengdu, and I will wait for Xiangfu in Hanzhong." Liu Chan replied refreshingly.

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan pressed the long sword with his left hand and the lance with his right, and quickly stepped down the steps, followed by his personal guards.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan's back and sighed in his heart.

Your Majesty is strong!

At the north gate of the Xingong Palace, General Fu Xun of Yubayashi Zhonglang had gathered [-] Yubayashi guards in advance to welcome Liu Chan.

Habayashi Zuowei 500 500 people, Zhao Yun's son Zhao Tong is Habayashi Zuojian, in charge of the department; Yubayashi Right Guard [-] [-] people, Li Hui's nephew Li Qiu is Habayashi Youjian, in charge of the department.
