Chapter 450 The Second King

On February 13th, the [-]th year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the weather was excellent, the sky was clear and there was no wind, and the few white clouds floating in the sky seemed to be embedded there, motionless.In mid-February, some brave little grasses broke through the small stones on their heads and stretched their bodies vigorously in the still somewhat cold morning.

Juye Ze was very lively on this day. In the early morning, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and the soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate seemed to be more energetic than before. Someone kept secretly looking far away from the road.Everyone knows that today is a special day, and there are many people who don't see each other on weekdays and want to come back.

A soldier looked sideways and saw that the team was not paying attention to him, so he asked Pao Ze next to him in a low voice: "Do you know who is coming back today?"

"Nonsense, Daxi Elder Confucian General and our old head Zhang called the generals back to discuss the advancement of our big head. Of course, everyone with status must come back!"

"General Xiong Kuohai is coming back too?"

"That's natural!"

"Hey!"

The soldier on duty waved his fist slightly, fearing that the team would see his little action: "You don't know, when I joined the army, I thought of the heavy armored battalion of General Xiong Kuohai, but General Xiong is in my heart." The hero, that figure, and that Damo Dao, look majestic. It's a pity, I failed the assessment at the beginning, and couldn't enter the heavy armor battalion."

"How can you fail? Your kid is strong enough."

"Still not strong enough!"

He sighed and said, "I can easily lift a 150-jin stone lock, but I can't move it. You don't know how harsh the recruiting conditions are for the Heavy Armored Battalion. Up to now, the Heavy Armored Battalion has no more than 4000 people. Just think about it." You know, out of the 10,000+ soldiers in our Yanyun Village, only 4000 were selected from the millions of people in the three counties, tsk..."

"Shh...here we come!"

A puff of dust and smoke rose from the distance of the road, and a big red flag fluttered in front of the team with the leaping horses.The soldier's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the burly man on the front of the steed Tellerpis was Xiong Kuo Hai.There is no other person in Yanyun Village who is more majestic than Xiong Kuo Hai, even the very tall Teller Piao sat down in Xiong Kuo Hai, looking extremely aggrieved.

Li Xian has been thinking about when to find an old scalper who travels thousands of miles a day, and ride a horse. No matter how good the horse is, it will lose its former style if it is ridden by Xiong Kuohai.It's a pity that although Da Sui has a vast land and rich resources, it is really difficult to find a cow that can run fast than Beatler.So Li Xian changed his target to pigs, and later felt that pigs were even more unreliable...

The guard at the gate of the city stood upright with a snap, and gave a military salute with one hand across his chest.

Xiong Kuohai waved his hand, and when he got to the door, he jumped off the horse. Natler could not help but let out a cry of joy, and he didn't know how much pain he had endured along the way.

Li Xian, dressed in black brocade, waited at the door in person, behind him were Qin Qiong, Pei Xingyan, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, Du Ruhui and others.

"My subordinate, Xiong Kuo Hai, has seen the lord!"

Xiong Kuo Hai stood upright, and then gave a very standard military salute.

"How strong is the wind on the bank of the Yellow River? How cruel is the sun? It has made you so dark."

Li Xian sighed with emotion.

Xiong Kuohai smiled and said: "Master, do you know what the people in Su Dingfang on the other side of the Yellow River say about me? They say that the face is born from the heart, and the face is black when the heart is black. A while ago, my subordinates lured the enemy over and swallowed him for [-] yuan." The navy sank more than a dozen of his ships, Su Dingfang scolded me as a black-faced ghost, but he just couldn't win, haha."

"A dark heart makes a dark face..."

Li Xian smiled and said: "If Luo Shixin hears your words, be careful that he will not end with you."

Xiong Kuohai laughed loudly, and asked in a low voice: "The black-faced boy is here too?"

Li Xian shook his head and said, "He returned to Youzhou, how could Luo Yi let him out so easily?"

"Then what am I afraid of!"

Xiong Kuohai smiled proudly, with a proud expression on his face.

He greeted Qin Qiong and the others with a smile. It had been more than a year since they had seen each other. Everyone had something to say, and while they were talking, another group of people arrived on the official road. It was Xu Shiji, the military commander of Yanyunzhai who was stationed in the two counties of Qi and Lu, There is also Cheng Zhijie, General of the Ma Jun, and Wu Yunzhao, who has been promoted to General Lang.

Xu Shiji wore a Confucian shirt and looked very elegant. He got off his horse and walked a long distance away. He quickly walked up to Li Xian, bowed deeply, and said, "My subordinate Xu Shiji, pay my respects to the lord."

"Subordinate Cheng Zhijie, pay my respects to the lord."

"Subordinate Wu Yunzhao, pay my respects to the lord."

Li Xian helped them up with a smile, and said with a smile: "Why are there so many rules? When we were in Yuncheng, we were all brothers, so it's awkward to pay homage to each other like this."

Xu Shiji said: "The present is different from the past, there is a difference in respect and inferiority, how dare the subordinates forget the rules."

"No fun!"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the village first."

Everyone responded and followed Li Xian into the city gate.The soldier looked at those generals enviously, and whispered: "One day, sooner or later, I will also make unworldly military exploits. At that time, I may not know that the lord will wait for me in front of the door to return from victory! Have a drink and talk with the lord! Fame and fame can only be obtained immediately, how can a man be willing to do nothing and be a pawn?"

In such a troubled world, which man who can hold a knife in his hand doesn't have a bit of ambition in his heart?

……

……

On the thirteenth day of the second month, almost all the important generals in Yanyunzhai came back to discuss Li Xian's promotion to the throne, and none of the 36 people in the Juyi Hall objected.

Li Xian also knew that if he refused at this time, not only would it appear a little hypocritical, but it would also chill the hearts of many people.So he just said that he was promoted to Duke Dongping, but he refused to be king.The generals bowed down twice and begged, Li Xian finally agreed.Sitting on the big chair covered with a white tiger skin, looking at the bowed generals below, he couldn't help but think of the white-faced Cao Cao in his heart.Then he thought with some annoyance that his face seemed to be very white too.

Cao Cao said that the day when King Wei was also similar to the scene in front of him?

Cao Bailian frightened the courtiers at the end of the Han Dynasty with his military might and power, and the courtiers dared not refuse to accept.Taking the Son of Heaven to command the princes, was Cao Bailian as high-spirited as he is now when he was promoted to the King of Wei?It's just that Li Bailian's achievements at this time are far from being comparable to Cao Cao's.

Seven years have passed since Daye went out of the fortress six years ago, and now he has his own foundation. No matter how calm Li Xian is, how can he not feel complacent?So he was smiling, a pure smile without any other meaning.He knew that he had taken the first step to success. From the little boy who had to flee to the end of the world in order to save his life, he had transformed into a big man who turned his hands into clouds and rain.

Ambition is something that always grows bigger as the status continues to rise.

Li Xian never denies that he has ambitions, but his ambition is calm enough.

称王

This is something that so many men in this troubled world only dare to imagine secretly in their hearts. Occasionally, in their dreams, they become a hero who can freely guide the country. That feeling of standing on top of power can be intoxicating.It's just that most people can only fantasize and envy the success of others.But Li Xian did it. It took seven years. It was not too fast, but every step was solid and steady.

Recalling the time when Zhang Zhongjian led people to protect him out of Daxing City, the time when he lived in seclusion in a small village in Bazhou, Hebei, and the time when he first met Daxi Changru in Yuyang and said that his predecessor was good at swordsmanship, I remembered the time when I practiced swordsmanship and studied military books hard on the nameless hill in the Saibei grassland, I remembered that when I returned to the Central Plains for the first battle, I almost lost Tiefutu and Xueqi, I remembered that I took only [-] people to Liaodong, I remembered that in the When recapturing the body of Mai Tiezhang by the Liaoshui River, I remembered when I took [-] government soldiers all the way back to the west bank of Liaoshui River when I withdrew from Sashui. When Zhishilang Wang Bo was disabled, he remembered when Zhang Xutuo handed over Qi County and Lu County to himself, when he fought against Wagang Village one after another, and when he returned to Jiangdu and beat Yang Guang hard , In the past seven years, the past is vivid.

Li Xian let out a long sigh of relief, and then told himself, from now on I will be called lonely, I am already a king!

Among the various anti-kings in the Sui Dynasty, Li Xian has a seat!

"Shouldn't we discuss the name of the lord next?"

Pei Xingyan said eagerly.

He was impatient, and when Li Xian agreed, he immediately raised a second topic.

"Dou Jiande is called the King of Xia, and Li Mi is called the King of Wei... According to the humble opinion of my subordinates, our Yanyun Village is based in Dongping County, so how about calling the lord the East King?"

Cheng Zhijie thought for a while and said, "I'm a rough person, and I think the title Dongwang is imposing enough."

Qin Qiong said: "Then why can't it be King Qi?"

Yuwen Shiji smiled and said: "I think it's best to take the first character of Yanyun Village, and the lord is called King Yan. Is it weaker than Dongwang in terms of momentum?"

"King Yan is not bad!"

The eldest grandson Wuji who was invited to attend today's meeting was still a little annoyed at first, thinking that you are king, why bother to find me, and scolded Li Xian severely in his heart, but he just sat in the Juyi hall for a while. Infected by the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "The name of King Yan can best represent Yanyun Village. General Li used to be named Yanyun when he was in Liaodong, so no matter how you think about it, King Yan is the best."

"King Yan?"

Li Xian couldn't help but think of another famous King Yan, but he would not appear until a long time later. He brought eight hundred slaves to fight and defeated a million kings.
