Chapter 193 The First Gathering of Power
The next morning, the whole Xiangyang was decorated with lanterns, which was several times more lively than the last time Liu Biao's birthday. The streets in Xiangyang were all covered with red lanterns, the streets near Liu Qi's mansion were covered with red silk, and the streets in front of Liu Qi's mansion were covered with a thick red carpet. Soft and extremely comfortable.
The whole people in Xiangyang flocked to Liu Qi's mansion. Liu Qi's mansion has been expanded several times, expanding a huge campus on the original foundation. At this time, the campus was already full of tables. These tables happened to be surrounded by a circle, and a red carpet ran through the middle of the campus.
A maid was busy on the school yard, putting melons and fruit tea on the table. Hundreds of flying tiger guards around her stood solemnly and were heavily guarded. For today's wedding, it can be said that the city of Xiangyang was heavily guarded. Wang Wei and his son joined hands to take charge of the safety in Xiangyang City. Wang Wei was responsible for the whole city of Xiangyang, and Wang Yi He is responsible for Liu Qi's house.
Before dawn, a carriage drove to the door of the house. The carriage slowly stopped and walked down from the carriage. It was Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. As soon as they got out of the carriage, another man and a woman came over, but it was Zhao Yun brothers and sisters. The two rode the horse and followed the carriage until the carriage stopped. Right ahead.
"Military division." Zhao Yun arched his hand.
"Well, Zilong, let's go in."
Zhuge highlights nodded and walked into the house with Zhao Yun. Behind him, Huang Yueying pulled Zhao Yu and then followed.
In the backyard, Liu Qi has put on a big red dress under the service of Wan'er and Qing'er. Since Wan'er became Liu Qi's concubine, Qing'er has been following Wan'er. At this time, the two girls are fiddling with the big red dress with a happy face, while Liu Qi beside her is bitter.
"My husband is fine." Wan'er put on her belt for Liu Qi and whispered.
"It's finally over." Liu Qi exhaled and came to the bronze mirror to look at it and thought it was okay.
"Okay, that's all for me. How's it going to see your wife? They are few people there. Go and see what you can do to help. Liu Qi turned his head and said, "Today, Xin Xianying and the Big Qiao sisters married him at the same time. For convenience, the three daughters went to the school yard from the house to worship him.
"My husband is resting here. Don't mess up your clothes." With that, Wan'er pulled Qinger and walked to the courtyard not far away.
Liu Qi looked around with a sigh of relief. Today is his first marriage in his life and this life. He is a little excited. After today, he has a family and a career, and this family is not small. In the past, he tried to compete with the princes of the world in order to live, so he will fight for this family in the future.
In his previous life, he fought alone in the mall. Even if he failed, there was nothing, but now he has no way out. If he is invincible on the battlefield, he will die. He has no third way to go.
Today is the day of his wedding, and it is also the time for him to show his strength to the world. He set up a family and establish achievements today. Pang Tong and Gan Ning, who are far away from Wancheng, will also take Wancheng for him today, and once to open the prelude to his expansion. After that, he will pacify the five streams in the south and annex Yizhou and Han in the west. In the middle, he swept the world with the momentum of victory.
This is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to realize it. The reason why he asked Pang Tong to go to Wancheng to recover Wancheng is that he did not want Pang Tong to attack Yizhou. In the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong fell in Luofengpo when he attacked Yizhou. Whether the rumors of Luofengpo are true or not, Liu Qidu I don't want Pang Tong to take risks. Pang Tong made a contribution to the capture of Wancheng this time, and the subsequent attack on Yizhou will not compete with Zhuge Liang, because Pang Tong and Xu Shu have made contributions, but Zhuge Liang has not made any credit. As good friends for many years, Pang Tong and Xu Shu will definitely not compete with Zhuge Liang, and even want to make it.
"The eldest son Zhuge Kongming is here and is waiting in the study." A maid ran in.
"I know." Waving his hand to let the maid retreat, Liu Qi got up and walked to the study. He was going to see if Zhao Yun was as powerful as the legend.
Not long after, Liu Qi arrived at the study. In the study, there were not only Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, but also Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Yang Ling, Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong. Even Ma Liang, Liu Xiu and Liu Pan were all here. It can be said that in addition to Gan Ning, the forces of Pang Tong and Liu Qi were basically gathered here.
"Lord." Seeing Liu Qi coming in, everyone got up and saluted.
"Get up." Liu Qi sat down and said.
"When did General Huang arrive in Xiangyang?" Liu Qi first looked at Huang Zhong. This time, Huang Zhong and Yang Ling came to Changsha. Huo Jun, Han Xuan, Su Fei and others stayed in Changsha to guard against Jiangdong.
"The last general arrived yesterday evening, so he didn't come to disturb the master." Huang Zhong got up and said.
"How's your son's illness?" Huang Zhong's son has been seriously ill over the years. Last time, Liu Qi specially asked Hua Tuo to rush to Changsha to treat him.
"Thank you, Lord, the dog's illness has been cured." Huang Zhong said gratefully. Originally, he no longer had any hope, but he didn't expect that Liu Qi invited Hua Tuo. If it hadn't been for this, he wouldn't have left Changsha.
"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded and looked at Zhou Cang and asked, "How are the 500 people training?"
The 500 people under Zhou Cang lost a lot last time. Zhou Cang picked another 500 people from the army and has been training in the mountains outside the city these days.
"My lord, according to the order of the lord, these five hundred people have all changed into heavy armor and equipped with heavy knives. Now they have all adapted to heavy armor and heavy knives, and there is absolutely no problem in charging into the battle." Zhou Cang said excitedly.
These 500 people are very strong. Liu Qi has specially created heavy armor for them. Even the knife in his hand is several times heavier than usual, which is most suitable for charging. This is what Liu Qi thought of according to the heavy cavalry of later generations. He doesn't have many horses to form heavy cavalry now, so he simply set up heavy infantry first. Although he moves slowly, it has a strong impact, and even the army can rush out a gap.
"Well, that's good." Liu Qi smiled. The heavy infantry was what he thought of. Although it was just a whim, the effect was very good. If you charge on the hills, everything in front of you will be destroyed. You can imagine the impact in the army. If there is such a soldier and horse in the battle between the two armies, the attack power will not be weak.
"What's wrong with Pandi's Fengya Camp?" Liu Qi looked at Liu Pan again.
The Fengya camp is somewhat similar to the death squads of later generations. They all joined with the determination of death. Liu Qi did not stop the Fengya camp formed by Liu Qi. Although the Fengya camp is very dangerous, it can hone people, and it can boost morale on the battlefield. Liu Qi's requirements for Liu Pan are fast and ruthless.
The Fengya Battalion is actually the tip of the army like the 500 heavy infantry in Zhoucang. The heavy infantry moves slowly, but the Fengya Battalion is fast. Even when fighting with the enemy, it rushes to the front, tearing the enemy and rushing into the enemy. In the middle, they do not like to fight. Among the enemy, the purpose is that the enemy will fall into chaos, but it is precisely because of this that the front arrow battalion is the most dangerous, which is most likely to be surrounded and abandoned. Therefore, the front arrow battalion must be fierce and able to tear a mouth and rush out of the encirclement circle in the chaos.
"Big brother, don't worry, Fengshi Camp is ready, waiting for the big brother's order." Liu Pan said in a low voice that after the last expedition, Liu Pan has matured a lot and has become stable, but he speaks less.
"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded and did not ask too much, but turned to look at Zhao Yun. At this time, Zhao Yun was dressed in white armor and looked like a flying tiger guard. Zhao Yun is also as handsome as a jade, but he looks resolute and heroic.
"My subordinate Zhao Zilong has met the lord." Zhao Yun took the initiative to go forward and worship without waiting for Liu Qi to speak. Yesterday, Zhuge Lian convinced him that today was the first time he saw Liu Qi, so he made this big gift.
"Well, Zilong doesn't have to be polite. Please get up." Liu Qi stretched out his hand and held it up.
"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Yun looked up and saw that Liu Qi's eyes were full of smiles. He was relieved. More than a dozen people in the study looked extraordinary, which made him feel a little panicked. He didn't expect that Liu Qi, who was only famous recently, had so many capable people under his command.
"You can follow Kong Ming in the future." Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang to protect him. It's a pity to put such a good general by his side. Putting Zhuge Liang's side can not only protect Zhuge Liang but also fight the world.
"No." Zhao Yun bowed.
"Thank you, Lord." Zhuge Liang also got up and saluted, and he was also very satisfied with Zhao Yun.
At this time, everyone in the study looked at Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun. Except for Ma Zhong and Xu Shu, no one knew who they were.
Liu Qi pointed to Zhuge Liang and said, "This is Wolong Zhuge Kongming named after Pang Shiyuan."
"I met Mr. Zhuge." Although everyone has not seen Zhuge Liang, they have also heard of this person. Seeing Liu Qi's introduction, it was a courtesy to everyone, but he was not as respectful as Xu Shu. Obviously, he was not very unconvinced.
Everyone had seen Xu Shu's means and knew that Xu Shu's talent was extraordinary, so they were extremely respectful to him. Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were new to him. Everyone didn't know how much strength they had. They just saluted in front of Liu Qi, and Liu Qi pretended not to see it.
"Kong Ming has met you." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted, not paying attention to everyone's attitude.
"This is Zhao Yun, Zilong. He comes from Baima Yicong. You should take care of each other in the future." Like Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi mentioned Zhao Yun slightly.
"I have met General Zhao." Everyone bowed their hands and saluted, which was much more polite to Zhuge Liang just now. They had heard of the reputation of Baima Yicong, who was the one who fought with the Xiongnu.
"Zilong has met you." Although he was a little dissatisfied with everyone's attitude towards Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun also saluted politely.
"Well, I called you today to tell you that today's wedding will not be too smooth, so you should be prepared. If you encounter provocation, just take action, just don't hurt your life. Of course, if the other party is polite to us, we can't be rude. Sitting on several people is almost all the forces under Liu Qi's command. Although it is not very strong, the lineup is definitely not weak.
