Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 325 Things in Liao City (Two in One)

Liu De went to visit Princess Shiyi on the second day. There is no imperial palace in Liaocheng, so of course Her Royal Highness should not be wronged too much, so Xun Yu arranged Her Royal Highness in a relatively gorgeous mansion. He was ransacked and executed.

Although the mansion is large, there are not many people in the mansion except for a few serving maids and doorkeepers. It is said that Her Highness the Princess likes to be quiet and thinks there are too many people making noise.

"My minister pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Liu De kowtowed to Her Highness the Princess in front of him.

Eunuch Xi happily wiped his tears beside him and said: "As soon as the chariot general is on the horse, he will surely succeed. Now that the Cao thief is dead, the emperor must have known it, so he can rest in peace!"

When Princess Shiyi learned that Liu De led the army back and Cao thief was dead, she wept with joy on the spot, and the tears couldn't stop falling down. The mother and concubine committed suicide, the family was slaughtered, and they fled desperately all the way. They were even nearly killed several times. Thanks to Xi Gonggong's vigilance, he survived.

Princess Shiyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "I said before, if you take the head of Cao thief, I will marry you! I mean what I say."

Sweat broke out on Liu De's forehead in an instant, not to mention the AA-level scenic spot of Her Highness the Princess, and she is still 12 years old.

The identity of the princess is enough for me to worry about. It doesn't matter if the princess is subjugated, but Ji Yuanxu of Luanzhou established a new monarch, continued the imperial line, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is not dead. The state shepherds and eunuchs of various places, no matter whether they are sincere or false, all profess their ministers.

Only Yang Tianlong, relying on the wealth of Jizhou and the tyrannical soldiers under his command, was called the emperor and founded the country, but he was not recognized by the people of the world at all, calling Yang Tianlong a false emperor.

Although Liu De himself is ambitious, his current military power is not even half of Yang Tianlong's, so he must pretend to be a courtier of the Great Zhou on the surface.

Therefore, as a courtier of the Great Zhou, Liu De was not willing to offend Shi Yi at all. Judging from Shi Yi's current status, he should be the eldest princess of the Great Zhou, what a noble status.

Liu De organized his speech and said: "I am terrified. It is my duty to kill the Cao thief. The princess must not do this. Besides, the minister has already been engaged. The princess has a noble status. How can she be the queen?"

Liu De's meaning is very obvious, please don't make trouble, Your Highness, I'm about to marry a wife, and with your noble status, you definitely can't be a small one!Let's take it back!
"Then you withdraw the kiss!"

Princess Shiyi said domineeringly.

Liu De: "."

Liu De has seen the character of this Shiyi princess clearly, she is an aunt!Although she has sharpened a lot due to a series of things, she still has the dominance of being a princess.

It is impossible for Liu De to marry the princess, at least it is impossible now. The main reason is that if he marries Shi Yi, then Chen Ying's status will definitely drop a lot. Chen Ying may not care about it from the main wife to the concubine. , but don't you take Chen Shuo and the others seriously?

What will they think?
These are things that Liu De needs to consider. Marrying a wife as a feudal lord has little to do with love, and only involves the interests of all parties.

In fact, with Liu De's ability, it is very simple not to marry Princess Shiyi, and he directly sent someone to imprison Shiyi, but still the same sentence, as a courtier of the Great Zhou, imprisoning the princess is not a rebellion!
Liu De is not Cao Zhuo!
It is also a kind of damage to Liu De's reputation!
Still, Mr. Xi, who was on the side, had good vision and said to Princess Shiyi: "Your Highness, marriage is a trivial matter, especially when it is about you, but it must not be sloppy! Now that the new emperor is enthroned, we must first contact the current royal family and court. !"

Liu De secretly gave Eunuch Xi a thumbs up, this teammate is reliable!
Princess Shiyi thought about it, and it was the same, so she nodded and agreed.

As far as Liu De is concerned, as long as the princess is dragged slowly, she will be out of control in the future.The most important thing now is to deal with the attack of Yang Tianlong's 30 army.

Liu De paid homage to Princess Lishiyi and went directly to the government office.

Liu De told Dian Wei: "Go to the prison and bring Yang Tianhao to the government office!"

Yang Tianhao was a member of the Yang clan and served as the garrison of Liaocheng. However, after the fall of Liaocheng, he was captured by the East Yu army and has been imprisoned ever since.

After a while, Dian Wei walked into the government office and reported to Liu De: "Master, Yang Tianhao has been brought here!"

The two tiger guards behind Dian Wei escorted Yang Tianhao, but Yang Tianhao looked pretty good, although he was not free, he was not abused either.

"Untie General Yang!" Liu De said with a wave.

A tiger guard untied the rope tied around Yang Tianhao's hand. Yang Tianhao shook his wrist, and the rope made several rope marks on his wrist.

Yang Tianhao said with a smile: "General Liu is still handsome now! I heard that the general killed Cao Zhuo who had cholera, and has been named Yanzhou Mu and General Cheqi by the newly established court. It is a great joy! I want to congratulate the general Already!"

"I didn't expect General Yang to be so well-informed in prison!"

Liu De ordered Huwei to serve two cups of hot tea, and gestured with his hand.

Yang Tianhao was not polite, picked up the teacup, blew on it lightly, took a sip slowly, and replied: "These are all obtained from the jailer. After all, in prison, there are no other books except some books. Things to do."

Liu De nodded, noncommittal, and stopped talking nonsense, and asked directly: "The general must know why I called you here!"

Yang Tianhao said: "As expected, it's something about the Yang family! After all, now that the Yang family's 30 troops are gathered under Jinyang Pass, even if Jinyang Pass is strong, it will still be breached sooner or later. Is there an impenetrable city in the world?"

After a pause, Yang Tianhao continued: "But I'm afraid I will disappoint General Cheqi. Although I am a member of the Yang family, I can even call Yang Tianlong a brother, but in fact, I am not valued by the Yang family. Knowing the Yang family’s confidential information doesn’t count, not to mention that I’ve been imprisoned for several months, even if I know something, it’s probably outdated!”

"Haha, General Yang, don't worry about anything, and I won't coerce you into revealing some secrets of the Yang family, but let's talk about the generals under Yang Tianlong's command!" Liu De said, taking a sip of his tea.

"General Chaqi still wants to get some information from this place!"

Of course Yang Tianhao saw Liu De's intentions, but he didn't refute. When Yang Tianhao was first captured, he wanted to die and was unwilling to betray the Yang family.

Now Yang Tianhao would not betray the Yang family, but after being imprisoned for such a long time, his desire to die has long been extinguished, and he does not want to die.

Although Yang Tianhao is in prison, in fact his wife and children live in Liaocheng, but they are under surveillance, at least they are free, and they often go to prison to visit Yang Tianhao. Yang Tianhao's inner line of defense.

You see, we have done our best to you and your wife and children!

You should at least show some face!
Yang Tianhao has an iron heart, and gradually lost his hostility towards Liu De. If he wanted to protect his wife and children, he had to cooperate with Liu De and tell him what he wanted to know. It's not a secret either, if you inquire deeply, you can find out, and for Yang Tianhao, he feels less guilty.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Yang Tianhao said, "Then what does the general want to know?"

Liu De crossed his arms and said, "I heard Yan He talk about Uncle Yang, saying that he is the number one general under Yang Tianlong?"

"Uncle Yang! He is very powerful!"

Yang Tianhao fell into the memory, "He was a few years older than me, and his mother was originally a maid, but later died of illness, but according to gossip, Uncle Yang's mother was beaten to death by Yang Tianlong's mother, and later this rumor was dispelled. It was suppressed, and finally nothing happened. Uncle Yang's father, who was the head of the Yang family at the time, didn't even remember that he had such a son."

Liu De kept this in mind, perhaps at critical times, this rumor could play a huge role.

"At that time, some people from the collateral clan saw that Uncle Yang was pitiful, so they adopted him. Later, Uncle Yang joined the army and went to Beizhou. Because of the Qiang people's rebellion, they invaded our border. , was gradually promoted, and won several battles in Beizhou, and his reputation spread throughout half of Hebei! Only then did the Patriarch know that Uncle Yang is his son!"

When Yang Tianhao said this, he chuckled lightly: "It's really ridiculous!"

Then he continued: "When the war on the border gradually subsided, the Patriarch recalled Uncle Yang to Beiping and entrusted him with important tasks to quell the banditry several times, and even once attacked a Dazhai with nearly ten thousand people. Before that, there were already several generals Returning from defeat, Uncle Yang only led a thousand soldiers to pacify the bandit camp without a single casualty. Such a record shocked too many people.

Our group of children of the same generation were also dumbfounded. At that time, we all thought that Uncle Yang had better luck, but I didn't expect him to rely on his real strength. "

"Afterwards, Yang Tianlong took over the position of the head of the Yang family and served as the prefect of Beiping. Then Yang Tianlong wanted to pacify Jizhou, so Yang Shuzi was the commander. Liyang, Changyang, etc., most of Jizhou was defeated by Yang Shuzi. Yes, I don't know much about the latter."

Liu De's expression is still quite solemn. It seems that Uncle Yang's ability is indeed very strong. According to Yan He's ability to guard Jinyang Pass, he can only last for two months, which can also explain some problems. That is Jinyang Pass what!
Only then did Liu De say: "However, Yang Tianlong is leading the army this time. Yang Tianlong did not appoint Uncle Yang as the general."

Yang Tianhao explained: "Uncle Yang has led the army for more than 20 years, and his prestige in the army is higher than that of Yang Tianlong. With 30 troops, it is understandable for Yang Tiantian not to let Uncle Yang be the main general!"

"It seems that Yang Tianlong is quite afraid of Uncle Yang!" Liu De said.

Yang Tianhao shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Liu De's statement.

"What do you think of Yang Tianlong proclaiming himself emperor!" Liu De suddenly changed the subject.

Yang Tianhao's face turned gloomy in an instant. Although his status was not high, judging from the signs of Yang Tianlong and Yang Zichuan, Yang Tianlong had long been waiting for the opportunity to become emperor.

Cao Zhuo's cholera chaos in Zhongzhou, the majesty of the court was lost, the little emperor was killed, and the jade seal was obtained. Yang Tianlong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and became the emperor!
Yang Tianhao is a sensible person, this is Liu De's evaluation of Yang Tianhao, but it's useless!
Yang Tianlong and a group of clan elders have long been dazzled by desire. They think that with the prestige and strength of the Yang family, even if they cannot unify the world, it is a simple matter to split the soil and seal the king, but they underestimate The reaction of the people of the world.

"They are too impatient, they can wait!"

In the end, Yang Tianhao uttered his true thoughts, maybe he held it in for too long!

Then Liu De questioned again, and Yang Tianhao, another famous general under Yang Tianlong's command, was taken back to prison.

"It's time to go to Jinyang Pass!"

Liu De thought.

At this time, Dian Wei came to report: "My lord, General Gongsun is here to pay my respects!"

Although most generals knew that Gongsun Qi had changed his name to Bai Qi, they still used to call him Gongsun Qi.

"Let him in!" Liu De said.

Bai Qi came in at a fast pace, kowtowed to Liu De and said, "The last general pays his respects to the lord!"

"Get up!"

Liu De waved his hand and asked, "General Bai is here, what's the matter?"

Bai Qi said: "The general wants to go to the grassland, first to see the war horses of Mayi, and second, to plunder some war horses to supplement the cavalry."

Liu De pondered for a moment and said, "General Bai, do you still remember what I said?"

"What does the lord mean?"

Liu De stretched out a finger and said, "I promise you to recruit 5000 infantry and [-] cavalry. I want you to recruit this team as soon as possible. Are you confident?"

Bai Qi looked up, cupped his hands and said: "The final general will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!"

"Okay! Let's go! I want to see the formation of the army within three months, don't let me down!" Liu De said.

"Yes!"

Bai Qi turned around and left. Liu De believed that with Bai Qi's ability, he would soon be able to train a powerful army. This is beyond doubt.

Three months later, that is, next spring, at that time, it will be the time for him to really counterattack.

The current tactics can be called:
Defensive counterattack!

Liu De summoned Chen Shuo, Xun Yu, Yan Nan and others to discuss the matter. After everyone arrived, Liu De stood up and said, "This general has decided to go to Jinyang Pass in person!"

"If my lord goes, it will definitely boost the morale of the army!" Yan Nan patted Liu De flatteringly.

Liu Dedao: "Next, Liao City will be handed over to you!"

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

Next, Liu De returned to the mansion, spent some time with the concubines, and then bid farewell to his sister-in-law.

The only thing that made Liu De feel embarrassed was little Liu Jia muttering, obviously because Liu De didn't fulfill his promise to play with her.

Liu De just rubbed Liu Jia's little head vigorously, and bluntly said that when he came back, he would definitely accompany Jiaer well.

Qian didn't say anything, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes, and she just told Liu De to be careful.

But when Ma Yuxuan was alone with Liu De, she said to Liu De: "My lord, General Guan has too many soldiers and horses, this is not a good thing!"

Liu De took a deep look at Ma Yuxuan, but said nothing.
