Chapter 479 Sima Swears! [Ask for Monthly Votes]

Xia Houlan?

Hearing this name, Ma Chao almost laughed out loud. Isn't this the unlucky guy who was stabbed to death by Master Zhang with a snake spear in Bowangpo?

In the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xia Houlan is a soy sauce.

When Zhuge Liang burned Bowang, Cao Jun's generals Xiahoulan and Han Hao were saving food and grass, and they met Zhang Fei face to face. After a short battle, Zhang Fei stabbed him to death under his horse.

However, in the official history, Xiahoulan was not killed, but was captured alive during the Battle of Bowang. Zhao Yun asked Liu Bei not to kill his fellow villagers, and also said that Xiahoulan knew the law and recommended him to be the military commander in charge of military law. .

There were not many talents recommended by Zhao Yun. Apart from Xia Houlan, it was probably Jiang Boyue, the young man from Tianshui whom he met in his later years.

"Landi has held law-related official positions in the county government in recent years, and he knows a lot about my Han Dynasty's Little Du Law and other provisions."

Zhao Yun was afraid that everyone would look down on his fellow countryman, so he quickly said a few nice words.

Xia Houlan also bowed to everyone:

"Please also take care of me."

Gao Shun liked generals who understood the law and took the initiative to express his welcome:

"Our army is short of someone to enforce military discipline. The arrival of General Xiahou is really a timely help!"

As soon as he took the lead, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Hao Zhao and others quickly expressed their welcome. Hao Zhao also took the initiative to cook vermicelli and prepared to make hot and sour vermicelli for everyone.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a man as handsome as Zhao Yun but with a somewhat pale face got out of the carriage:

"Commoner Zhao Feng, pays homage to the generals."

He held on to the shaft of the cart and got down with difficulty, then bowed and saluted everyone.

Zhao Yun quickly took off his cloak and put it on his brother:

"It's cold outside, brother, don't get out of the car."

"This is not okay. Although my Zhao family has declined, we cannot lose our etiquette."

Perhaps because his parents died when he was young, when Zhao Feng spoke to Zhao Yun, his tone became stern unconsciously, and he sounded like an elder brother like a father.

However, Zhao Feng was much more amiable to Gao Shun and others, and even told some country jokes from Changshan County to liven up the atmosphere.

As the eldest son of Zhao who raised his younger brothers and sisters single-handedly, Zhao Feng is stern yet diplomatic and knows how to deal with the world.

Thinking about it, Zhao Feng might not have reached adulthood when his parents passed away. He not only had to support his younger brother to practice martial arts, but also had to guard against those around him who coveted the family property.

If you had been stubborn and didn't know how to adapt, you would have been wiped out by people with ulterior motives.

After the greetings were completed, Zhao Feng got back into the carriage. After the mats inside were spread out, there was a large bed. It was not only comfortable, but also had a strong effect of keeping cold and warm.

Jingxingguan is relatively small, and now there is a large army stationed there, so all the rooms are full. Relatively speaking, the carriage is much spacious and more suitable for people.

Soon, dinner began. Zhao Yun brought hot and sour noodles to his brother, sister-in-law and nephew respectively. Then he took off the horses' bridles and led them to the stables to feed them feed and water.

While he was busy, the door of another carriage opened, and a young woman in white jumped out of the carriage, her pretty face full of excitement:

"Second brother, when can we arrive in Chang'an?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said:

"It's still early. It takes several hundred miles from Jingxing to Taiyuan, and it's nearly a thousand miles from Taiyuan to Chang'an. Our journey will take at least half a month... Xiaoxue, please don't run around and get back to the car."

Zhao Xue pouted and said:

"It's so boring in the car. I can't stay here unless...unless you let me play mobile games."

Good guy, you must be a game addict after wandering around for a long time... Zhao Yun thought for a while, opened the hidden compartment of the carriage, and took out a PSP handheld game console from inside:

"I didn't want to give it to you. Get in the car quickly and don't let big brother see it."

"I know that my second brother is the best to me!"

Zhao Xue got into the car with the game console and locked the door on purpose to keep it secret.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that this sister was really spoiled.

He went to get a bowl of hot and sour noodles and put some mutton oil chili. He originally wanted to get the pancakes, but after thinking about it, he changed it to the sandwich ribba, which has a richer taste.

Arriving at the door of the carriage, he knocked gently:

"After you finish eating, play again. Remember to set up the small table and don't spill the soup on the mat."

"Okay, okay, I know."

The carriage door opened, and Zhao Xue opened it. He looked around first, but didn't see his elder brother Zhao Feng. Then he brought the hot and sour noodles in, held Leba and ate it happily:

"Second brother, do you still have the seaweed pancake? I want to eat that."

"No, just eat well. If you don't eat, there won't be any snacks."

"Know it……"

But having said that, after Zhao Xue finished her meal, she still saw two packs of seaweed biscuits... Zhao Yun asked Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu for this. Fortunately, these two people like to bring snacks, otherwise it would be difficult to satisfy their gluttony. sister.

In the evening, Xiahoulan's family and Zhao Yun's family all rested on the carriage. Zhao Yun specially set up a marching tent next to the carriage to protect them.

In the captain's room not far away, Gao Shun hung the LED lighting on the beam, spread the compiled map on the table, and started a meeting with Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and Hao Zhao:

"You follow General Zilong all the way to Taiyuan along Jingxing, and ask Governor Han to send some food here. In addition, you must be prepared to welcome the people of Changshan."

Gao Shun planned to station himself at Jingxing Pass, pick up all the family members who had surrendered, and along the way, he asked people to spread rumors in the Zhending area, calling on the local people to flee to Taiyuan.

A war will surely break out in Jizhou next spring, and the people living here will definitely be affected.

If we can avoid it in advance, it would be great.

Ma Chao asked:

"Do you need anything else?"

"It would be great if we could have solar panels and signal base stations, but now that Wen Hou is not here, long-distance transportation is prone to problems, so forget it."

Although Gao Shun also likes various equipment in the real world, he has no equipment at the moment, so he has to find a way to be self-reliant.

For the Xianzhen Camp, as long as there are enough armor and weapons, even if there is not enough food and grass, everyone can "borrow" from Changshan County, so there is nothing to worry about.

Zhang Xiu said:

"I heard there is a kind of wind turbine. If Wen Hou comes here in the future, you can ask him to install some. There is electricity when there is wind, which is very suitable for the mountains."

"That's great. Jingxing Pass has wind all year round, which is indeed more suitable for wind power generation."

When they chatted, the Sima Mansion in Wen County, Henei, was decorated with lights and flowers, and half of the county was sprinkled with clean water. Sima Fang, who was retired at home, brought his sons and waited from dusk until dark, and finally waited for Lu Bu and his party.

Today, Lu Bu did not ride a horse, but drove his own off-road vehicle, carrying Zhong Yao, Xu Rong and others to Wen County at lightning speed. The guards of the two were still running on the road.

"I am a country man, I pay my respects to the General of the Cavalry, to the Governor Zhong, and to the Governor Xu."

In the past, Sima Fang would naturally not be so humble. These retired officials like to put on airs the most, and even curse if they are not polite.

But today, the eldest son Sima Lang rode to Wen County at full speed and told Sima Fang, who was originally planning to put on airs, about Zhang Daoling coming down to earth to eat hot pot with everyone. Sima Fang, who was originally planning to put on airs, immediately put away his contempt and even secretly regretted it.

I shouldn't have resigned from Luoyang at that time, otherwise I would have been a minister at least?

It was rumored before that your majesty could command the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother to rain, but everyone didn't believe it at that time. Unexpectedly, even Zhang Daoling came down to earth to eat with Lu Bu. What a great honor!

Sima Lang came all the way from Huai County and almost tired his horse to death. When he just got off the horse, Sima Fang was ready to scold him for being reckless.

But after listening to his son's words, he gave his mount to his son without saying a word.

Just this piece of information is worth it to tire ten horses to death.

As long as you hold on to the thigh of Wen Hou, it will be no problem for the Sima family to return to the top family.

Lü Bu greeted Sima Fang with a smile:

"Brother Jian is now picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. This leisurely life really makes us yearn for it."

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence?

Sima Fang was surprised:

"I have heard that Lü Huqi is very talented. Today, I see that it is true... It's a pity that when the general followed Lord Jianyang into Luoyang, Fang resigned in anger because he hated Dong Zhuo. If I had known the general's power, I would have visited the general even if I was beheaded by Dong Zhuo."

Xu Rong sneered in his heart:

"The old man's words are nice. Half a month ago, your Sima family took the lead in confronting the prefectural government."

The reason why Sima Lang took his family to Yanzhou was that he was worried that Xu Rong would have time to deal with the Sima family.

After all, Xu Rong is not the kind of person who praises intellectuals to the sky like Zhang Yang. If Lü Bu had not explained it before, Xu Rong would have found a reason to wipe out the entire Sima family.

A general who has fought in the sea of ​​blood will not show any mercy.

After the greetings, everyone went into the city together.

The Sima family was particularly interested in Lu Bu's car, but Lu Bu neither invited them to ride nor introduced what it was. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator, kicked up a cloud of dust, and the car roared into the gate of Wen County.

"Father, this thing... is quite mysterious. If I can sit on it and experience it, I will have no regrets in my life."

Sima Yi, the second son of the Sima family, watched the car driving into the city with envy in his eyes.

Sima Fang said:

"Now that Wen Hou has given you an opportunity, you should seize it well, and you will naturally be able to ride this car one day... Although Wen Hou is easy-going, you should not be naughty, and you must show the proper respect."

The general of the cavalry is an official of the three dukes, and he has military power in his hands. If he offends him, the entire Sima family may not even see the sun tomorrow.

Sima Lang, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu brothers quickly agreed, then got on the carriage and returned to the city.

Lu Bu walked around the city and got a general understanding of the situation in Wen County. He said to Zhong Yao and Xu Rong:

"I guess Sima has embezzled a lot of farmland in the county. You two will remind them indirectly later. If they are sensible, we won't care so much. If they are fooling around, we should give them a warning. We are giving them a chance to survive, not visiting them three times to seek talents."

"Don't worry, Lord Wen. I know what to do."

"If Sima can't put himself in the right position, I will investigate Sima's land in the name of the Sizhou Provincial Governor's Department, and ask Jingzhao County to provide some evidence of Sima Fang's corruption."

It's easy to cheat people, especially in the late Han Dynasty, when moral cleanliness was the most serious. Any stain would be enough for Sima.

Of course, the moral decline in history also started with Sima.

After discussing these, the three drove to the gate of Sima Mansion. Sima Fang's family had already returned. They held lanterns and welcomed him again with their whole family, even more respectfully than before.

After Lu Bu got off the car, he saw the county magistrate of Wen County was also there, and asked curiously:

"This is your first time in my fiefdom. How many acres of arable land are there here?"

Just as the county magistrate was about to answer, Sima Fang spoke first:

"There are millions of acres of fertile land in the county. Marquis Wen is so busy that he has never sent anyone to take care of it. I, Sima, have taken care of 500,000 acres on my own initiative. Since Marquis Wen is here today, let's hand over these lands."

Damn, Sima Fang's eyelids are really active. No wonder he recommended Cao Cao in the early days and was respected by A Man for his whole life. His level is really high.

Lu Bu muttered in his heart, then smiled and said:

"Just hand over to the governor, I won't interfere in these matters."

In a few years, I will settle down in the real world. The arable land here can't be taken away. It's better to confiscate it directly to the court and distribute it to the people. 500,000 acres is enough for thousands of people to live and work in peace.

Walking into Sima Mansion, Lu Bu asked:

"Where is the statue of Zhang Tianshi placed?"

"There is a room in the backyard that has been specially vacated and cleaned up. Does Wenhou need to see it with his own eyes?"

"Lead the way. I will put Lao Zhang's statue in your house. You can worship it more often in the future. It can protect your family's safety."

Well, I will just bless you with safety. If you have any other thoughts, Lao Zhang doesn't mind letting your family travel to the underworld in advance.

Arriving at the backyard, Sima Fang pushed open a room, which was decorated very elegantly. There were futons, candlesticks, incense burners, offerings and everything else, except for a statue.

Lu Bu said:

"Don't move around here. I'll be back soon."

After that, he left the Three Kingdoms world from the door and carried a solid wood carved statue from the warehouse in the real world. It was about one meter high and was just right for placing in the room.

When Lü Bu disappeared, Sima Fang's family was terrified, and the county magistrate was looking for him everywhere, fearing that the general had an accident on his territory.

Fortunately, Lü Bu came carrying the statue soon after.

He placed Zhang Tianshi in the shrine, and Sima Fang quickly grabbed a handful of incense and lit it. As soon as he inserted it into the incense burner, the statue of Zhang Daoling lit up, and golden light emanated, illuminating the whole room like daylight.

Sima Fang quickly knelt down to salute, and Sima Lang and others also knelt down.

Lu Bu stood aside, pinched the rock honey on the offering and tasted it, then said:

"The purity of this rock sugar is not high, it is astringent... Brother Jiangong, tell the truth in front of the gods, you will not have second thoughts when you serve the court in the future, right?"

Sima Fang hurriedly said:

"I, Sima Fang, swear to the Heavenly Master that if our family does anything to offend the Han Dynasty in the future, we will be trampled into meat paste by thousands of troops, struck by five thunders, pierced by thousands of arrows, and die a miserable death!"

He was excited for a while and deliberately said a few more harsh words. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded outside, and the county magistrate who knelt down and kowtowed was almost fainted.

Okay, the oath has been filed with Lao Zhang.

Although the Sima Eight are not complete at this time, the main rioters are Sima Yi's branch. Sima Lang's descendants are quite honest, and Sima Fu even regarded himself as a minister of Wei until his death.

When Sima Yi comes of age, we can add additional clauses. Anyway, the gods are on the side of the court, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the court.

After swearing, Lu Bu seemed to have changed his face and became brothers with Sima Fang. He even took out two boxes of Huadiao wine left over from lunch from the trunk, ready to get drunk.

In the real world, when Li Yu was counting the supplies, he found that a wooden statue of Zhang Daoling was missing from the warehouse:

"Did Brother Fengxian carry this away? He's really quick."

While he was muttering, Yue Fei came to the real world and saw Li Yu. He bowed first and then said:

"Sir, my brother-in-law has conquered a piece of territory in the Weizhou area and won the support of local herdsmen and people. Everyone is busy building a temple for Zhang Tianshi."

Li Yu opened the map of the Song Dynasty saved on his mobile phone and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Yide is really amazing!"

He actually took advantage of the heavy snow to quietly conquer a piece of territory in the Liao Kingdom. As long as he manages it well in the future, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will all return to the embrace of the Han people.

With the merits and reputation of regaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the people on the Song side will definitely take the initiative to surrender.

Li Yu said:

"Let Yide be on guard and don't let him be attacked again."

"Don't worry, sir. The emperor's uncle asked us to bring troops to support and make sure to keep Weizhou firmly in our hands."

With Qiao Daoqing, the national teacher, following, and Wen Huanzhang remotely commanding in Zhending Prefecture, there is a high probability that there will be no problems. Of course, the signal tower should be repaired so that any situation can be reported in time.

Yue Fei wanted to build a few signal towers along the way, but he felt it was too much trouble, so he changed his mind. When he arrived in Xingzhou, he bought a yard with Ma Lin and built a batch of solar panels and a relay antenna.

After testing, it was found that it could actually connect with Handan City, Qilin Village, Damingfu Mountain Stronghold and other places, so he went down this path.

When he arrived in Zhaozhou, he also bought a yard and built a relay antenna to make do with it.

Each yard was guarded by people from the Intelligence Department, so security was not a problem.

This time, Yue Fei planned to report, then go to Weizhou to build a large signal tower and some wind power stations, and build a communication network between the two sides in the territory of Liao.

After finishing these, he will go to Zhending Prefecture to build two hydropower stations on the Hutuo River to solve the electricity problem of Zhending Prefecture.

Li Yu thought of the investigation team in Cai Mansion and asked curiously:

"How did those people deal with it?"

"The uncle gave them two hundred horses and let them go back. The leader, Wang Sheng, was completely loyal and swore an oath in the temple of the empress... When the horses arrived at Damingfu, the second brother Shan would rob them and form a cavalry squad in the mountain stronghold."

With Wang Sheng as an insider, the whole looting process would definitely be very smooth and there would be no accidents.

This method of using the government to deliver supplies is quite unique...Li Yu said:

"It's time for dinner. Let's go back after dinner. I just made a flame drunken goose. I don't know how it tastes."

"It must be delicious!"

The two left the warehouse and prepared to go to the restaurant to enjoy tonight's delicious dinner.

At the same time, in Chang'an City in the Journey to the West world, a bald monk holding a cassock and leading a white-clothed boy carrying a nine-ring tin staff appeared in the downtown area...
