【Chapter 348】 Grace and power

Sigh!

Just when Ma Yunluo was sleepy and lacking horses, he saw the snow shadow BMW rushing on the opposite side hissed, and after galloping for more than ten steps, he suddenly jumped up with Dian Wufang, soared nearly two feet into the air, and pounced on Ma Yunluo and the fire mount under her with great speed.

"Phew!" The prancing horse soared into the air, and the spear in his hand struck condescendingly, smashing at Ma Yunluo in the air. In the face of such a ferocious attack, Ma Yunluo didn't have time to think about it, a ruthlessness appeared on her flushed cheeks, her red lips tightened together, she clenched her teeth, and brazenly raised her gun with both hands, intending to resist Dian Wufang's imminent blow.

"Qiang ———"

"Oooo Under the sudden blow, Ma Yunluo's pretty face changed drastically, a smear of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and her hands cracked, and the blood flowed like an infusion. But she took Dian Flawless's volley alive, and tried her best to prop up the spear that was pressing on top of her head, so that Dian Flawless's inevitable blow failed to defeat her. However, the fire of the war horse under Ma Yunluo's seat could not support the huge force on his back, and his four hooves were weak, and after holding on for a while, the horse's hooves retreated in a panic, and he retreated more than ten steps in a row before he could stand firm.

"Kill!" After a blow hit Ma Yunluo hard, but seeing that Dian Wufang took advantage of the snow shadow horse to land, he suddenly broke away from the horse's back, jumped up again, swung the gun away from the bright silver gun in Ma Yunluo's hand, leaned back, and kicked Ma Yunluo with his left foot straight to his chest.

"Ahh In the crisp scream of pain, Ma Yunluo did not dodge the left foot of Dian Wuflaw's volley this time, and was kicked in the left shoulder by Dian Wufang, flew upside down for five or six meters, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Ahem, ahem!"

After landing on the ground, Ma Yunluo coughed violently, her helmet and the bright silver gun in her hand were already lost, and her long wet hair hung down on the ground. It wasn't until she spat out a mouthful of blood that the painful look on her face eased and struggled to her feet.

"Thank you sister for not killing. Great grace is not grateful. This battle was lost by the little sister, and the sister was left to lose. ”

Looking at the oncoming Dian Flawless, Ma Yunluo did not have the slightest decadence on his face, nor did he resent Dian Flawless, but calmly admitted the defeat and fulfilled the previous covenant.

It is true that Ma Yunluo really has no reason to resent Dian Wufang, but should be grateful to her. Because Dian Wufang had every chance to kick Ma Yunluo in the chest, so that even if she was lucky enough not to die, she would inevitably be seriously injured; Most importantly. A flawless volley is highly likely to hit her left chest. However, Dian Wufang changed the position of the blow on the spot, and instead kicked Ma Yunluo's left shoulder, kicking her off the horse's back.

As a result, the attack from Dian Flawless's accumulated power changed direction in the middle of the way, causing the strength to be greatly reduced. just kicked Ma Yunluo off the horse, but did not hit him hard. And Ma Yunluo seems to be injured a lot. Spit blood from the mouth. In fact, the injury was not serious, only the chest cavity was staggered and agitated, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, it was much more relaxed, and there was no major problem.

The reason why Ma Yunluo calmly admits defeat is that Dian Wufang did not kill her. is also because in this battle, both sides did not cheat, and it was an upright battle.

Because of this, Ma Yunluo lost convincingly. No complaints. The defeat is only because her skills are not as good as others, and there is no reason why she can't accept such a failure, unless she is a person with a small belly and a chicken intestine and a person who will be retribution.

"It doesn't matter my sister's injury, right?" After seeing Ma Yunluo's frank expression and admit defeat, Dian Wufang immediately put down his weapon, walked forward to support her, and asked with concern.

Ma Yunluo gently wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth and said in a low voice: "Thank you sister for your concern, my little sister's injury is fine, and she can heal after a little rest." ”

"That's fine." Dian Wufang let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "Sister Yunluo, if you don't dislike it, you and I will become sisters of the opposite sex, right?" In the future, if my sister still wants to lead the troops, she will serve as a military commander under my account and control the soldiers under my account; If my sister doesn't want to join the army, she can also be my companion, so that I don't have to be too lonely in the army alone. I wonder what my sister thinks? ”

"Ahh Ma Yunluo exclaimed in astonishment, and said in surprise: "My sister treats me so well, and my little sister is afraid that she can't afford it." Why does my sister 、、、、、、?"

"Hehehe!" Dian Wufang interrupted Ma Yunluo's words with a smile, and said with a smile: "My sister wants to ask me why I value you so much, right?" In fact, Sister Yunluo underestimated your own abilities. Your brother Ma Chao is now a general under my husband's command, and he is very important, and you are an extremely rare heroine among women, with superb martial arts and skilled bows and horses. My sister, my name is Deputy Commander Jin Yiwei, and I have thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, but I am inconvenient to participate in military affairs because of my identity. If my sister comes to my aid, trains soldiers and horses for me, and handles military affairs, then I deserve to be the deputy commander. ”

"This 、、、、、、" Ma Yunluo thought for a while, and then replied happily: "Since my sister doesn't think that my little sister is from a humble background and deigns to hand it over, my little sister is willing to listen to my sister's dispatch!" ”

Dian Wuflawless smiled heartily: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" From now on, you and I will be sisters, sharing weal and woe. However, Sister Yunluo is my third sister, and we also have a righteous sister, her name is Zou Jing, and she is now the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, and she is your second sister. Hehehe! ”

Ma Yunluo's eyebrows were filled with a strong joy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It's so good." My little sister has been lonely since she was a child, and she and her brother Ma Chao depend on each other, and my father and several younger brothers don't like me. Now that I have an eldest sister and a second sister, I can serve in the army with my eldest brother Ma Chao, it's great! Hee-hee-hee-hee———"

"Sister Yunluo, don't say stupid things. You, like my sister and me, are daughters after all, how can you stay in the barracks for the rest of your life? You will have to marry sooner or later, and at that time, you will not be able to continue to stay in the army, but you should be a virtuous and virtuous wife. Dian Wufang said with a straight face.

"Sister!" Ma Yunluo was embarrassed when she heard this, and her pretty face showed a flush, and it was only at this time that her gentle and tender side was revealed.

Dian Wufang pulled Ma Yunluo towards the Xiliang army formation with a smile, and said as he walked: "Yunluo, my husband didn't smile when he was in charge of the army, and kept a straight face all day long, don't be afraid of him later, don't kneel down." ”

Ma Yunluo was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Why did my sister say that?" When she saw General Li, the little sister should have knelt down and asked for surrender, how could she be rude? ”

Dian Wufang turned his head to look at the snow-white skin on Ma Yunluo's chest, and laughed in a low voice: "Silly sister, your battle armor is already soaked, hanging diagonally on your body. If you bow down, don't you expose your chest and your back? If that's the case, how will you meet people in the future? Isn't it ridiculous? ”

"Ahh Ma Yunluo screamed, pressed her hands on her chest, her pretty face was blushing, and she was embarrassed. It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she was gone, revealing a small half of her breasts, and the half-body armor on her body could barely cover a pair of huge twin peaks on her chest, and her navel was exposed.

————————————————————

With the defeat and surrender of Ma Yunluo, the Xiliang army took Huaili City without blood.

Huaili City is down, and the counties of Youfufeng County hear the wind and fall.

Li Li's army was stationed in Huaili City, and Jia Xu, the military division, led the troops to take over the counties. Count the books of soldiers and horses and the money and grain of the government treasury, and rearrange the officials of each county.

In addition, Huang Zhong was ordered to lead 20,000 infantry troops to clear out the grass bandits entrenched in the surrounding area.

In a few days, the Xiliang army spread all over Youfufeng County, exterminating the remnants of Ma Teng. Eliminate bandits, idle people and bullies in all counties. Rectify the rule of officials. Relief for the victims and encouragement of displaced people to cultivate their farms.

Huaili City Lobby.

"I don't know why the general ordered the sergeant to bring the grass people?"

In the middle of the lobby stood a man about forty years old, but when he saw that this person's eyes were full of annoyance, his expression was quite angry, his tone was arrogant, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Yan Gong's words are serious." Li Li sat on the throne of the high hall. Hearing the man's words, he groaned, slowly put down the book in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man in the hall. did not continue to speak, but took a sip of tea from the teacup for a long time, and then waved his hand to signal the man to sit down.

And the man standing at the foot of the hall was also very individualistic, he ignored Li Li's gestures, and held his head high, as if looking at the wood carvings on the eaves of the lobby.

This move is clearly a tooth for a tooth.

Li Li deliberately snubbed him, but now he ignored Li Li's gestures, pretended not to see it, and still stood in the middle of the lobby.

"Yan Gong is a descendant of the Fa family, Bo Gu and the present, knows astronomy and geography, and is really a great sage who is not born in my Xiliang. However, Li heard that Yan Gong would rather be hidden than become an official, Li was very curious about this, and specially ordered his own soldiers to invite Yan Gong to talk. I didn't think that the sergeant was reckless, neglected Yan Gong, and invited Yan Gong Haihan. Li Li also ignored the arrogance and anger of the middle-aged man, and slowly explained the reason.

However, Li Li never mentioned the matter of letting the middle-aged man sit down, and let him stand under the hall and admire himself.

The middle-aged man standing in the hall is Fa Yan, a famous scholar of Right Fufeng County, the current head of the Legalist family, and the Legalist family is indeed a well-known clan in Right Fufeng County. However, the Fa family is now in the middle of the road, and the former big family is now in Xishan, and the family members are falling apart and leaving, leaving only the lineage still settled in this county. In addition, the descendants of the Fa family are not prosperous, and there are three generations of single transmission, and now Fa Yan has only one son under his knees.

The reason why Li Li invited Fa Yan to come to talk was not because he valued Fa Yan's talent, let alone because he invited him for the name of the Legalist, but because Fa Yan's son was named Fa Zheng.

As a person of later generations, Li Li has no disdain for the so-called celebrities in the current Han states. Because most of these celebrities are eunuchs, or from famous families, or worship famous teachers, and use the banner of teachers to publicize everywhere, only to obtain the title of "celebrities".

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were at least hundreds of scribes who enjoyed the reputation of "famous scholars" in various states and counties, and Chang'an Taixue brought together more than 200 "famous scholars". This is only the celebrities of the surrounding states and counties of the Central Plains, Yingchuan, Jingzhou and Yangzhou and other celebrity gathering areas have not been counted, if they are all added together, there are no less than 500 "celebrities".

There are so many celebrities, but there are very few people who can really go down in history, and there are only a handful. It can be seen that most of the celebrities and scholars in various states and counties are in vain, and those who are really talented and learned are not very famous. For example, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncles and nephews under Cao Cao, as well as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others, who will be famous all over the world in the future, are still not famous, at most they are famous, but they are far from being celebrities.

The law is derived from arrogance, but the family is in the middle of the road, but he still guards the aura of his ancestors, pretending to be a master outside the world, "hidden in the world". It's a pity that according to the sergeant's report, the two generations of the father and son of the Fa family are now barely living in the big mansion left by their ancestors, and the domestic servants and maids are scattered, and they are already too poor to open the pot.

However, looking at Fa Yan's words and deeds at this time, he still put on a posture of being a famous family, and he still looked down on a reckless hero like Li Li in his bones.

For this kind of person who slaps a swollen face and pretends to be fat, Li Li has always been impatient and doesn't want to say much to him. Today, however, he was uncharacteristically patient and patient. At least for now, Fa Yan is swept out of the house.

Fa Yan stood at the bottom of the hall, thinking that Li Li would solemnly invite him to take a seat, but he didn't expect that after Li Li explained the reason for inviting him to come, he picked up the book again and read it seriously, without looking at him.

stood for a long time, but I didn't see Li Lili paying attention. At first, Fa Yan was full of anger, and he was quite indignant in his heart, thinking that Li Li did not know etiquette and did not understand Corporal Lixian. But as time passed, his legs were sore. saw that Li Li still ignored him. At this moment, Fa Yan hated to turn around and leave, too lazy to look at Li Li's face again. It's a pity that he wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, because Youfufeng County had already been taken over by the Xiliang Army under Li Li, once he angered Li Li. Then his family is full of old and young, and I am afraid that he will suffer.

After standing for half an hour, Li Li still didn't say a word. Fa Yan's legs were weak. The look of arrogance on his face gradually dissipated, and the anger in his eyes had long since disappeared. At this moment, his heart was full of worries, suffering from gains and losses, for fear that Li Li would give him an order.

"Please forgive the general, I really don't know what the general is doing here, and I ask the general to make it clear." I stood for a long time. After all, Fa Yan's Qi cultivation kung fu was not as good as Li Li's, so he took the initiative to ask for sin.

The situation is pressing, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves.

"Oh?" Li Li groaned and looked up at Fa Yan. He said unhurriedly: "General Ben invited you to come to talk this time, and there is nothing important, but I heard that your house is short of clothes and food, so he will give you ten stones of grain and two pieces of silk to express your feelings." ”

"This 、、、、、、" The anger on Fa Yan's face resurfaced when he heard this, and he opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak. Li Li's words were simply a great humiliation to him, and he was filled with righteous indignation. However, Li Li's gift was the most urgently needed food and clothing for the Legalists. If you get this gift, you will be able to solve the urgent needs of the Dharma, and you will not be able to sell the utensils in the house in exchange for money and food.

With a violent struggle in his heart, the expression on Fa Yan's face changed sharply, red and white, and finally turned into discouragement.

In the past, Han Xin, the king of Qi, sold his sword in order to fill his stomach, and was willing to suffer the humiliation of his crotch in order to steal his life, but today he Fa Yan can get food and silk to support his family just by losing a little face. Which is more important than the two?

Thinking like this, the anger in Fa Yan's heart disappeared, and his mentality gradually calmed down. Immediately, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, general, for your generous kindness." It's just that it's useless, I don't know what the general commands? ”

"Hmm!" Li Li bowed slightly, groaned, and waved his hand again to signal Fa Yan to take a seat.

This time, Fa Yan was very well-behaved, and after seeing Li Li's gesture, he immediately walked to the left side of the table and sat down, looking at Li Li with a precarious position.

"Yan Gong is known as a virtuous person, and he has also heard of it. I invite Yan Gong to come today, just to entrust him with the duty of the right Fufeng County Guard, I don't know what Yan Gong will do? Li Li said with a warm smile.

"Ahh Fa Yan was shocked when he heard this, looked at Li Li with an incredulous face, and cautiously asked: "The general wants to let Zai Xia serve as the right Fufeng county guard, is this true?" ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li said loudly and said: "Li has always been true to his word, and he must do what he says, and he never lies!" This time, you are appointed as the right Fufeng Taishou, because you are upright and upright, and I will trust you. However, if you accept the appointment, you will henceforth follow the orders of the general and be under the direct authority of Shangshu Li Xuan. From now on, no edicts or orders shall be accepted without a warrant from the general; In other words, you Fa Yan only need to be responsible for me, Li Li, and are not bound by other laws and regulations. Fa Yan, do you understand? ”

"This 、、、、、、 subordinates meet the lord!" After a slight hesitation, Fa Yan got up and walked to the bottom of the hall, kneeling and bowing.

Although Fa Yan is arrogant and arrogant, he is also eager for the opportunity to display his talents. Previously, he pretended to be hidden from the world, and refused the conquest of Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes many times, because he saw that Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were not people who had achieved great things, and if they were cast under them, it was equivalent to a secret investment in the pearl, and it was difficult to get the opportunity to show their strengths. The current situation in Xiliang just shows that his previous judgment was right, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others are not Li Li's opponents, and they will die sooner or later.

On today's trip, Fa Yan was originally reluctant to bend his knees to flattery, because he was already over middle age, and the idea of fame gradually faded, and he no longer hoped for the opportunity to show his ambitions. However, at this moment, in the face of Li Li's great temptation to directly appoint him as a county guard, he finally couldn't hold back his thoughts, and was excited to be willing to worship the Lord and accept Li Li's appointment. It's not that he has no backbone, nor is it that he tends to be inflammatory, but that serving as a county guard gives him the opportunity to display his talents. He has been looking forward to this opportunity for more than ten years, and it is only today that his long-cherished wish has been granted. Although he also heard the deep meaning of Li Li's words, he did not care, and still gladly worshiped the Lord to receive the command.

Today, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han dynasty has been declining and has died in name. Although today's son is still a descendant of the Liu family, this is just the time has not yet come. Once the time is ripe, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty will definitely collapse and be replaced by the princes.

In Fa Yan's view, although there are many princes in the world, there are not many princes who really have the strength and ability to replace the Han family. Jizhou Yuan Shao, Nanyang Yuan Shu and Yizhou Liu Yan were originally the most likely to achieve imperial hegemony, but now the situation in the world has changed again. Wuwei Li Li's army suddenly rose, and then when Chang'an was in turmoil, he annexed the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop, took charge of Chang'an, held hundreds of thousands of troops, and became the most powerful prince in the world.

That's right, to this day, Li Li's fame and money are far inferior to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yanzhou Cao Cao, but the combat power and number of the Xiliang army under his command are indeed the strongest. However, Li Li's strength is limited to a large number of soldiers and horses, nothing more.

Fa Yan is now in his forties, and if he doesn't come out now, I'm afraid that he won't have a chance in this life. What will be the general trend of the world in a few decades, he doesn't care at all now, because decades are too long, and he only seizes the day.

"Okay, haha!" Seeing that Fa Yan actually worshiped himself as the master without hesitation, Li Li was very happy and happy.

After laughing, Li Li stood up, personally helped Fa Yan, and said with a smile: "If you can get Fa Yan's help, you can help Feng County without worry!" Fa Yan, you will take office from today, and the edict will come later. In addition, I have heard that you have a son named Fa Zheng, who is now seventeen years old, and is quite intelligent and famous. In this way, let your son Fa Zheng come to the Western General's Mansion to serve as an assistant, and after two years of training, he will become a great weapon in the future! ”

"Huh? Thank you for the kindness of the lord, Fa Yan has nothing to repay, and I am willing to swear to serve the lord with this remnant body! Fa Yan was stunned, his expression was extremely excited, and he leaned over and bowed, and it was a real bow, knocking the wooden floor "bang".

In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Li wanted to take Fa Yan's son as a hostage, so as to hold Fa Yan hostage. But Fa Yan himself didn't see it that way, because he knew that Li Li was the dominant family in the Xiliang Land Realm, and no one in the Sanfu Land of Chang'an dared to resist Li Li's orders. Since no one resisted, Li Li still wanted to mention his son Fazheng, which was a sign of wanting to reuse Fazheng, and it was also a manifestation of respecting his Fa Yan.

With such a great grace, Fa Yanyan can not be grateful, and bow down sincerely!
