Lords of War: Sinicized Dragonborn

Chapter 71, Turn Passive into Active, Required for the Sworn Ceremony
More than 50 people were arranged in a small private house, which was a bit crowded to be honest.

Li Di, who thought that he might be summoned alone later, did not expect that Li Yue and the others had just sat down for a while, and they hadn't finished drinking a bowl of water.

The big Han Wuji Captain who left the legend of Geng Gong worshiping the well personally led a team of personal guards and ran to this small courtyard to meet Li Di and others.

Li Di, who chose to stay in the courtyard because he disliked the crowding in the house, was dragged and introduced to Geng Gong by Geng He, the captain of the cavalry who entered the door.

"General, this is the dragon descendant from another land that I mentioned to you just now, Emperor Li..."

Li Di, who was brought before Geng Gong, did not show any stage fright, and immediately clasped his fists at Geng Gong and said:

"This general, Li Di, the owner of the Dragonborn Manor (lord) of the Liyue Territory in the foreign land, this time he went to the Central Plains. In addition to returning to his hometown to find his roots and ancestors, he also wanted to go out for some experience and listen to the elders at home every day. , A good man should aim in all directions, gallop on the battlefield, make great achievements, and seal his wife and son, then he is a real hero, a real hero."

After finishing the beautiful words that are very suitable for Li Di's age, and he can carry more than 50 family generals, Li Di paused, and after giving Geng Gong, the captain of Wuji, a little time to digest, Said again:

"Even though Emperor Li grew up in a foreign country, he was lucky to have a decent family education. He understands the principle of not forgetting one's roots in life, and knows where the roots of the Li family are. Now, Li Yueling and others, since by chance, they are in trouble because of the evil enemies of the Huns. The general is under the protection of the city, and Li Di leads Liyue to lead fifty generals who are proficient in martial arts. He is willing to use the general's dispatch to defend the city and kill the enemy..."

These two beautiful words of Li Di have a remarkable effect!

The way Geng Gong looked at him, from the surprise and expectation when he first saw his tall and strong figure, and the fact that among the more than 50 people in Liyue's leadership, there are still a lot of well-armed generals, to the moment when he heard Li Di After these two words, a smile was unconsciously on his face, and his eyes were full of admiration for Li Di and his admiration for his enlightenment.

It can be said that Li Di's two words directly changed Geng Gong's favorability from stranger to friendliness.

"Okay, okay, the current situation in Shule City is difficult, my Geng Gong Geng Bozong, I won't say much nonsense, and I can't give you any promises, but as long as I am still alive in Shule City, I will definitely not be called a Hun hurt your life."

Hearing Li Di's bold declaration of ambition, Geng Gong excitedly praised him again and again, and hastily lined up his chest to make this minimum guarantee to him.

In fact, when Emperor Li saw Geng Gong, the Wuji Colonel with the greatest real power and official position in Shule City, he chose to come to meet him in person regardless of his identity and status.

He roughly guessed Geng Gong's reason for coming, obviously the other party chose to lower his figure because he wanted something from others.

Of course, it may also be that Geng Gong's character is good enough and he doesn't like to put on airs?
But as long as Li Di is not stupid, he will not think so naively.

Both Li Di and Geng Gong were very aware of the crisis situation Shule City was facing, but Geng Gong didn't know about it. In fact, Li Di had a general understanding of his situation.

Not to mention Li Di, who carried dozens of generals with complete armour, even if the residents of Shule City were really in danger, when it was time to arrest the strong men, Geng Gong would still be merciless. Without hesitation, he went to catch the strong man.

Even if he, Geng Gong, is a hero through the ages in the legends of the Shi Ji, it is the same. Since then, when the food in the city is cut off, he can make the decision to cook the Xiongnu and eat people to feed their hunger.

It can be seen that Geng Gong is a resolute general who will do whatever it takes to achieve victory.

Although what was eaten was the corpse of the alien enemy Huns, after all, it still cannot escape the essence of cannibalism.

In the troubled times of ancient times, those who could come up with the idea of ​​cannibalism to satisfy their hunger and survive by eating their own people were all ruthless people.

Anyone with a softer heart and a softer personality can't cross the moral bottom line in their hearts.

Because cannibalism will make people feel emotional and think of themselves and their relatives who are related to them. They may also be reduced to such a miserable situation in the future. It is the second biggest fear after death.

Therefore, in modern times, cannibalism can be regarded as the most hated crime by human beings, because this kind of fear has long been deeply rooted in the blood of human beings.

Because cannibalism has really happened too many times, and it has never completely disappeared from human history.

It is the same even in the modern civilized society. Whenever there is chaos in the army, natural disasters and disasters, on the way to escape from the famine, tragedies like gnawing corpses and changing children to eat always happen from time to time.

For example, to record the recent Great Famine in the Central Plains...

Therefore, instead of waiting for Geng Gong to open his mouth to force the strong men and make the scene embarrassing, it is better for him, Li Di, to take the lead and speak clearly.

You don't need Geng Gong to think of ways to find a reason. I, Li Di, brought my own generals, so I voluntarily sent them to my door and signed up to join the army on the spot.

In this way, Li Di changed from passive to active, changing his impression in the minds of these big Han border guards.

After changing himself, his identity and situation in Shule City.

It is also necessary to climb the wall to defend the city, voluntary and involuntary passive, there is still a big difference in treatment between the two.

However, Li Di, who had achieved this, was still not satisfied, and clasped his fists to Geng Gong again and said:

"Emperor Li has just turned eighteen this year, and he often envies his father for having eight sworn brothers who have died in friendship. It's a pity that foreign countries do not accept sworn brothers. I don't know if Li Di has the blessing to be sworn brothers with Brother Geng?"

That's right, since I've come to this romance epic, even though it's only the Eastern Han Dynasty, since I haven't been able to fulfill my heroic dream of attacking the enemy's camp at night, it's not bad to come to Taoyuan in Shule City in the Eastern Han Dynasty to become sworn brothers.

Especially the sworn partner is this Geng Gong who left history and beat Su Wu.

In the next half a year, Li Di will still count on Geng Gong to take care of him, so why not make more connections to stabilize Geng Gong's friendship with him.

It's not that Li Di didn't learn from his father in his previous life, finding a few sworn brothers, but it turned out to be a joke in the end.

Five, fifteen, and sixteen-year-old children worshiped the master, but they have been in the middle of the school for 20 years, and the result?

The eldest brother started a company, and the third child went there. At the beginning, he made money, but after working for two or three years, the third child did not make any money, and almost lost his capital.

The fourth child sees that the boss's business is good and the money comes quickly, but the boss is used to spending money lavishly, so he is lucky to gamble, and the company is struggling to maintain it because he can't save money. He brings his own desk to study in the boss's company for half a year. He directly pulled the third child to start anew.

The fifth child got up early and lost contact with his brothers a long time ago.

As for the second son, Li Di himself, he firmly believed in the teachings of the elders in the family, the brothers did not join forces, and did not participate in the fucking business of several people.

On the contrary, the boss and the fourth brother took turns to say that they were not brothers and would not help them...

……

Originally, he was overwhelmed with emotions because of Li Di's figure, speech and behavior, and Shule City unexpectedly received the support of fifty strong and strong men brought by Li Di. At first, Geng Gong felt that something was missing. Express how you feel at the moment.

Upon hearing Li Di's prompt, he immediately took a step forward, grabbed Li Di's arm and said excitedly.

"What kind of luck is it? I want to call you little brother. My brother has taken advantage of my brother this time. It's really a timely rain for my brother... Let's go, let's go to worship!"

While talking, Geng Gong kept holding on to Li Di's arm, and quickly ordered his men to cut off the chicken's head, fill it with chicken blood, and prepare the things needed for sworn worship.

Although the worship ceremony has been similar since ancient times, it is nothing more than that the rituals prepared are different according to the different environments.

Knowing that the situation in Shule City would get worse in the coming time, Li Di hurriedly held Geng Gong back.

"Brother Geng, the current situation in Shule City is difficult. I don't know how long the Xiongnu will besiege the city. The ceremony of sworn worship doesn't need to be so expensive and frugal."

Of course, there is one thing that Li Di didn't say. When he heard that Geng Gong planned to chop off the chicken head and fill it with chicken blood, Li Di thought of an anecdote in his previous life. , but ask for the oath of sworn death in the same year, the same month and the same day.

Just let Geng Gong order someone to fetch three sticks of incense and take him to the top of Shule City.

Emperor Li raised his eyes and looked around outside Shule City, where the Huns riding their horses Shen Ge were just a stone's throw away.

Thanks to the enhanced double vision of Feng Shui Kanyu, Li Di can clearly see the vicissitudes of each Xiongnu Ranger.

"Brother Geng, today we two are sworn brothers. We don't need common things like chicken blood and livestock. If we want to use them, we use the heads of these Huns who dared to invade the Central Plains as the sacrifices we need for the sworn ceremony between you and me!"

While talking, Li Di took off the horned bow that he had been slung over his shoulder all the time.

He opened his bow and set his arrows up to the sky, squinted his eyes slightly to aim and estimated the approximate distance, and then shot three arrows into the air in a row.

Then Li Di retracted his bow, folded his arms and confidently said to Geng Gong beside him, and also said to the other big Han border guards under him:
"Brother Geng, just watch!"

When the arrows had just been shot, Geng Gong and others standing on the top of the wall could still barely observe the three arrows shot by Li Di.

But after the front and rear arrows have risen to high altitudes one after another, and the distance between them and the crowd is getting farther and farther away, it is very difficult to observe the flight trajectory of the arrows.

On the current Shule city wall, except for a few people such as Geng Gong and Geng He, who can keep their eyes on Li Di's arrows, the rest of the people can only watch, and the distance is so small and blurred that only a black shadow can be seen Huns ranger army.

At this time, everyone felt that the time seemed to be slowed down suddenly. After about four or five breaths, Geng Gong beside Li Di took a deep breath, and at the same time gave Li Di a thumbs up and praised:
"I didn't expect, brother, you are not only a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but also has such a superb archery ability!"

Just when the rest of the border guards were at a loss, Geng He, the ranger captain who was half a stature behind Geng Gong, explained to the others:

"Just now, the young hero Li Di shot three arrows at a range close to two arrows. The first arrow shot two birds with one arrow. After shooting down the wolf-skin flag of the Zuokuer tribe of the Xiongnu ranger, it shot into the Huns holding the flag. The neck of another Hun ranger behind the rider."

"The second arrow shot into the left eye of a Hun cavalry centurion, and the third arrow shot into the right eye of a Hun centurion. Li Di Shaoxia's archery skills can be called superior." Where did you hit..."
