Chapter three hundred and fiftieth IX

On this day, the sky was clear and the Anmin Army was practicing wildly outside the city. The scene was spectacular.

While resting halfway, Liu He and others sat under a big tree together and drank a few sips of water.

"I really didn't expect that three years ago, when we went to Shangdang to conquer Zhangjiao, there were only a few thousand troops, but now we have more than 100,000 troops. We really have impermanent things."

Liu He sighed.

"It's all the elder brother who leads his troops well and loves the people as well as his sons. Only the people and soldiers support him so much. Nowadays, even many Xianbei people admire the elder brother, which is really wonderful."

Guan Yu said.

"Haha, these Xianbei people have always admired the strong, not to mention that most of the people who have defected to them now are ordinary Xianbei people, or small and medium-sized tribes. They have been oppressed and bullied by the large tribes and royal nobles for a long time. Since joining our army, our former enemies have not only not bullied them, but have made their lives much better than before. Naturally, they highly respected their elder brother."

Zhang Yong said with a smile while wiping his axe.

"When I mention the Xianbei, I don't know how the Xianbei tribe is now in the situation after the three leaders returned. Hehe, I always think it should be very interesting."

Zhu Ye touched his chin, looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something fun.

Liu He patted his head and cursed with a smile: "You just think too much. This is not a fun thing. After the three of them returned, they soon found their loyal supporters. With the help of the two credits of bringing back a group of prisoners of war and signing the documents to open Hu City, everyone was not so concerned about them when they took prisoners."

"Now the Xianbei tribe has been divided into four major forces. Kuitou led about twenty tribes to drive away Ke Bineng, who was originally on the west side of Shuofang County, and occupied hundreds of miles of grassland on the north side of Liangzhou and the northwest side of Shuofang County."

"Qianman also has more than 30 tribes to support it, occupying a grassland north of Shuofang County and north of the Yinshan Mountains."

"Of the three, Nabu Dugen has received the most support, with about forty tribes supporting it, occupying a large area of ​​grassland from Wuyuan County to Yanmen County, and even to Dai County in Youzhou, his sphere of influence, and his troops are the most majestic."

"The last one is the unlucky Ke Bineng. He had the opportunity to unify the Xianbei, but after the three leaders returned, some tribes that originally supported him turned against him. He took his first batch of troops and a very small number of tribes that still supported him, so he had to escape back to the northern part of Youzhou in shame. In addition to him, there were some independent Xianbei tribes, including Wuhuan, Fuyu and other tribes. Their forces were complex, and even Bu Dugen could not intervene in for a while."

Listening to Liu He's explanation, everyone nodded frequently.

Cheng Liang asked with some confusion: "Hey? Haven't the vast majority of the Flying Eagle Guards transferred their men to Luoyang and other places? Why do you still know so much about the Xianbei incident?"

Liu He smiled and said, "It doesn't have to rely on the Feiying Guard to investigate the news."

After saying this, Cheng Liang became even more puzzled: "What else can you rely on? Will the Xianbei people send us the news?"

Zhang Yong, who was standing beside him, burst into laughter.

"San brother, you really guessed it right this time. These news were sent by the Xianbei people themselves."

"How is it possible? Why don't I believe that they are so obedient?"

Cheng Liang kept shaking his head.

"San brother, do you think the eldest brother set up three Hu cities just to do business with the Xianbei people? Among the three Hu cities, the Kuitou people mainly go to Linrong City, Shuofang County, while the Budugen forces are all over the Jiuyuan City of Wuyuan County and Qianyin City of Yanmen County, while the Qianman forces have contacts in Linrong City and Jiuyuan City. It is too easy to find out these things from the Xianbei people who came to trade."

"Oh by the way, in addition to the Xianbei people, in the Hu City of Linrong City, there are occasionally some people from the Xiongnu tribes coming to trade. Many of the Xiongnu people complained about why Hu City was not established in Shangjun. Now the Huns who have always been against our Han Dynasty are mainly the Xiutu King and Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu. Among them, Xiutu King is the strongest. Now that he dies, Zuoxian King and some other idle tribes have the courage to become enemies with us? I am afraid that it won't take long to take over the Hun tribes alone."

"My mother, the power of this Hu City is much stronger than our army!"

Cheng Liang's mouth was so wide that he could stuff an egg.

Liu He smiled and said, "My third brother is wrong again. If he had not wiped out his main force in the military, there would be no such possibility of success in Hu City now. Only when someone is beaten and afraid of being beaten will the other party listen to you and sit down quietly and do business with you. Otherwise, where can I buy it quickly?"

Cheng Liang seemed to have some understanding: "Well, I understand."

"Okay, the gold, silver and jewelry of the Xianbei and Xiongnu that were seized before, as well as the war horses, have been sold one after another. This batch of goods and three Hu market transactions have made a fortune. This morning, the three in-laws have arrived in Yinguan City. One is to handle some business, and the other is to reunite with us. They hold a banquet in the Zhen family's restaurant, and we have a good banquet tonight."

Whether it was the jewelry and war horses that Liu He had sold in more than half a year, or the transactions between the Zhong and Xianbei people in Hu City, although many caravans of all sizes participated, the big head was still taken away by the Zhang, Su and Zhen families. These three giant merchants, relying solely on these business transactions, made no less than billions of dollars in total, which was equivalent to the past few years of hard work. At the same time, these businesses also greatly promoted the development of the business. By the end of the year, I don’t know how many dividends would be, but Zhang Ding, Su Shuang and Zhen Yi were smiling so hard that their faces were almost tilted.

When they heard that there was a banquet, Guan Yu and others were naturally very happy.

At night, in the center of Yinguan City, a four-story restaurant called Wangyun Tower was located on the center of Yinguan City. The entire restaurant closed its doors to greet guests without entertaining outsiders. There were bursts of laughter and joy among the four dews.

However, on the same night, Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was solemn in the majestic palace.

Several figures were walking in a hurry on the palace road, and everyone's faces were filled with anxiety.

Among them, the leader was the General He Jin and the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.

They entered the palace late at night, and for nothing else, because they were summoned by Emperor Ling of Han, Xuan and they immediately entered the palace.

According to the news they received, His Majesty Ling Emperor suddenly fainted while playing with the palace maids yesterday, and did not wake up until more than half an hour ago.

Both of them knew in their hearts that the current emperor would probably be exhausted, so they would naturally explain their funeral to the future.

These two are the heads of the Han civil and military officials, but at this moment they seem to be competing on the palace road, as if they are afraid that the other party will meet the emperor one step earlier than him and thus get more things than him.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the bedroom, they quickly tidied up their appearance. Then the door of the bedroom slowly opened, and the two hurriedly walked in.

His Majesty Ling Emperor had only met the two of them a few days ago. At that time, although he was a little thin and weak, his face was still normal. But now, his lips were purple, his face was pale, and his cheeks were sunken, as if he had been hungry for several days.

He Jin and Yuan Wei looked at each other and saw various emotions in each other's eyes.

"He Qing, Yuan Qing, you are here..."

As soon as Emperor Ling saw them, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had the strength to speak. He stretched out a hand and tried to grab the two of them.

The two hurried over and held his hand, with a look of grief on their faces.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body. The great man's country depends on you."

"Cough cough..." Emperor Ling coughed a few times and shook his head.

"The two ministers do not need to be relieved. I know that there is not much time left. It is said that the two ministers entered the palace late at night and were about to commit a major event."

"His Majesty……"

The two of them had tears in their eyes, as if they were heartbroken.

The Ling Emperor held the two of them and suddenly increased some strength.

"I have two sons, the eldest son Bian, who was born by Empress He. He was originally orthodox, but he was cowardly by nature. The youngest son Xie was born by the Wang Meiren. He was raised by the Empress Dowager since childhood. He was smart and clever by nature and loved by me..."

With just saying this, He Jin's heart tightened and the force on his hands couldn't help but heavier.

The Spirit Emperor felt the power coming from his hand, his expression changed slightly, and his tone changed.

"However, abolishing the elders and establishing the young people is not the right way. In my life, I am actually a fool, and I have no achievements in the country and the people. I cannot create disaster for the country anymore, otherwise I will see my ancestors without any face after death."

He Jin felt relieved when he heard this, and then kowtowed and bowed.

"Your Majesty is a blessing in the world!"

Yuan Wei, who was standing beside him, looked inexplicable, but he could not see his joy or anger.

"The two dear ministers received the order...ahem..."

"I will accept the order!"

"I have inherited the great fortune and kept the martial arts and literature. I have never achieved success. Now that I have not achieved success, my destiny is about to end. The eldest prince debates, the eldest son, and should continue the throne. I hope that his youngest tortures the world and bring blessings to the world, and live up to the foundation of his ancestors. I will live up to the foundation of his ancestors... Cough cough... Cough cough..."

After saying this, Emperor Ling's cough became stronger and stronger, and his eyes no longer had the same glory as before.

"Now the new emperor is young, he specializes in............ cough cough..."

He Jin and Yuan Wei knew that this was the most critical moment, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Recruiting General He Jin, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and assisting Xinjun together... Cough cough..."

When the two heard this, they were overjoyed. They were about to thank him, but Emperor Ling had not finished speaking yet.

"In addition, the current Zongzheng was moved, and the emperor's brother Liu Yu was...cough cough...because...because the Grand Sima and was granted the title of Danghou. The prefect of Shuofang, and the emperor's brother Liu He was...cough cough...because the Sili lieutenant, and the left general, and was granted the title of Yuhou...cough cough..."

"Your and four others will assist... to assist Xin... Xin..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ling suddenly relaxed his hand and tilted his head. The emperor of the Han Dynasty passed away, leaving behind He Jin and Yuan Wei with shocked expressions.
