Chapter 2410 Zhou Yu returns to court and envoys from Rome arrive
Chapter 2406: Zhou Yu returns to court, envoy from Rome comes
The reason why Arthur is not in Luoyang is actually that he took the Detachment of Women out of the city to train.
After all, this is a peaceful period of recuperation, and there are not many opportunities to fight and make meritorious deeds. Moreover, all the bandits and bandits in Sizhou have been wiped out long ago, so the garrison in Sizhou is not only training.
Since the Detachment of Women took on the role of palace guard, there has been a tendency to transform into an honor guard.
In addition, the Detachment of Women has the treatment of an elite battalion, and female soldiers do not have to worry about getting married. Non-commissioned officers are also married to middle- and high-level generals.
Most of the older female soldiers are already married, while the new female soldiers who have not been baptized by the fire of war are obviously not qualified soldiers yet.
The Detachment of Women has not fought for a long time. Coupled with the frequent changes in personnel, the combat effectiveness has naturally declined sharply.
In this regard, Arthur, Hua Mulan, Fan Lihua and other senior officials are also worried about this, but there is no good way. After all, they can't prevent those older female soldiers from getting married, right?
If this is really done, regardless of whether the female soldiers are willing or not, the male soldiers will probably be the first to be unhappy.
If this trend continues, the Detachment of Women may not be able to defend its position in the elite battalion in the next military competition. Once it loses its place in the elite battalion, the treatment of the Detachment of Women will be greatly reduced, and its combat effectiveness will be further reduced.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, Arthur and other senior leaders of the Detachment of Women decided to pull the new recruits out of the city for training to improve the overall quality of the entire army as much as possible.
Arthur, who was training his troops, immediately put down everything in his hands after receiving Ying Hao's order, and rushed back to Luoyang with only a few personal guards.
“General, Your Majesty is so anxious to recruit you back to the capital. Is there any important task that he wants to entrust to our Detachment of Women?” Li Huamei asked, with longing in her eyes.
She joined the Detachment of Women for just over a year, and with her outstanding military talents, she joined the ranks of reserve officers. Now she serves as a guard beside Arthur, which is both training and recognition.
Li Huamei has a delicate appearance and a soft appearance, but she cut off her long flowing hair and turned it into short hair with bangs. This hairstyle also added a third of her heroic spirit and made her look more heroic.
Hearing this, Arthur had the same expectation in her heart, but she knew that even if there was such an important task, it would not be possible for it to fall on the Detachment of Women.
Compared with other elite battalions, the gap between the current Detachment of Women is gradually widening, and it cannot defeat the Flying Tiger Army and the Beiwei Army.
With this thought, Arthur couldn't help but become more determined to train these new recruits.
The imperial concubine and the eldest princess handed over the Detachment of Women to her, and she would never allow the Detachment of Women to decline in her hands.
As soon as Arthur returned to Luoyang, he learned about Gawain and Lancelot and was immediately shocked.
She obviously didn’t expect that the two men would come to Luoyang to look for her, and they were captured on the spot by Kong Xuan for attacking the emperor.
Gawain and Lancelot committed serious or minor crimes. If the emperor cared about it, he would definitely be dead.
But now that the emperor has asked himself to recognize the person, it means that he may not care about the two people's offense, and intends to allow the two people to get away with their crimes and meritorious service.
"The Phoenix Marquis is worried too much. The fact that Gawain and Lancelot traveled thousands of miles to find you shows how loyal they are. How can I have the heart to kill such loyal and brave men?"
I hope they can serve the Qin Dynasty. Lord Fenghuang, you are their old master. It is up to you to persuade them. "Ying Hao said with a smile.
When Arthur heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely persuade you two to be loyal to our great Qin."
Gawain and Lancelot were originally characters summoned by Ying Hao. Although what they wanted in their hearts was to take Arthur back and save their hometown of Britain, Arthur obviously didn't want to return to that sad place, and there was nothing they could do about it. , he could only stay with Arthur to serve Great Qin.
With this move, Arthur recovered a war **** and a peak **** general for Ying Hao, but the placement of the two gave him a difficult time.
Gawain and Lancelot both want to follow Arthur, but Arthur is the leader of the Women's Army, and the women's army is all women. It is obviously inconvenient for them two grown men to go there.
After some thought, Ying Hao decided to let Gawain and Lancelot stay with Arthur first. After all, their temperament could not adapt to an environment like the Detachment of Women, and they would definitely ask to leave the Detachment of Women.
As expected by Ying Hao, Gawain and Lancelot only stayed in the Women's Army with Arthur for three days before taking the initiative to leave the Women's Army.
In the past three days, these two grown men felt like monkeys among a group of female soldiers, especially the group of female soldiers who teased them from time to time. They were just like gangsters. The two of them really couldn't stand it. You can only ask to leave.
Ying Hao smiled and agreed to the two of them, and then transferred them to the Nine Dragon Guards, allowing them to study in the Nine Dragon Guards and adapt to the life in the East.
“Your Majesty, there is important information coming from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Aixinjueluo Yinzhen has been a little restless recently.
After he and Dorgon had a conflict for unknown reasons, he began to win over the generals in charge of military power, and he had a strong intention of ousting Dorgon. "Jia Xu reported the report with a serious face.
"Yinzhen?"
Ying Hao also showed a serious look. Yinzhen may not be outstanding in the eyes of outsiders, but only he knew that this Yinzhen was not only Yongzheng, but also a time traveler. His ability and knowledge far exceeded most people of this era, even if Even he had to take it seriously.
"Yinzhen actually wants to oust Dorgon? Didn't he always support Dorgon before? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?"
Ying Hao showed a look of confusion, completely unaware that the Qin Dynasty was too powerful and that Yinzhen could not see any hope of victory. This forced him to consider a retreat and wanted to take Man Qin to the west. There was a conflict with Dorgon.
If Ying Hao knew what Yinzhen was thinking, he would definitely support it and send Yinzhen to leave East Asia as a gift.
East Asian forces have become too involved. In Ying Hao's view, there is nothing wrong with letting these forces bring Eastern culture to the West.
But the key point is that Ying Hao didn't know what Yinzhen was thinking, and thought that Yinzhen couldn't control his ambition, so he was preparing to plot against him.
"Manqin is really miserable. The Aguda Rebellion has not yet been resolved, and now there is a tendency for internal strife between Dorgon and Yinzhen."
Ying Hao said with a gloating look on his face. The harder Manqin's life was, the happier he was. He didn't have any good impressions of braids.
"But Your Majesty, once Dorgon and Yinzhen are in conflict, no matter which side wins, their strength will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the annexation of Aguda. This goes against Great Qin's balancing strategy in the northeast and the continued internal stability of Manqin. Internal strife strategy," Liu Bowen said.
"What the Minister of Civil Affairs said is reasonable. Although the internal strife in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties only lasted for two years, during these two years, the Yuan and Qing Dynasties have been in turmoil and have basically not achieved any effective development. Instead, they have invested all their limited national power in internal strife. He became weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, Great Qin took advantage of the internal strife between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to continue to develop and strengthen its national power, which far exceeded the combined power of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties.
This is enough to show that the strategy of balancing the grassland and allowing the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to continue fighting among themselves is correct and must be persisted. "Ying Hao said.
"But now Dorgon and Yinzhen are in conflict. No matter who wins or loses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist Aguda." Han Fei said. "Dorgon and Yinzhen must also know this, so no matter how they fight, they will not fight each other, but stay at the level of political fighting." Ying Hao concluded.
"Then there's nothing to worry about. If it's just a political fight, it's impossible for Yinzhen, who comes from a clan, to fight against the prince Dorgon." Xi Zhicai said with a chuckle.
This statement also aroused the resonance of everyone. They all believed that it was impossible for Yinzhen to defeat Dorgon. However, only Ying Hao knew that Dorgon's ability to lead the army was indeed stronger than that of Yinzhen. But when it comes to political fights, Dorgon Definitely not Yinzhen's opponent.
Yin Zhen was the one who had the last laugh in the contest between the nine sons and his political attributes were stable and over 100.
When Dorgon and Yinzhen fought in politics, they used their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. It would be surprising if they could win.
“Yin Zhen is not a simple person, he is very scheming and good at forbearance. If Dorgon is careless, the boat may capsize in the gutter, so it is better to be cautious.
Once Dorgon is at a disadvantage, Huang Taiji can be put back when necessary and Huang Taiji can deal with Yinzhen. "
Ying Hao is more afraid of Yinzhen than Aguda and Dorgon, so he would rather put Huang Taiji back than allow Yinzhen, a time traveler, to take power.
One Wang Mang is enough to give Ying Hao a headache. If there is another Yinzhen, will he still have time to relax?
Ying Hao's emphasis on Yinzhen was beyond the understanding of the officials. However, it was also a good thing for the Qin Dynasty that the emperor was cautious. After all, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
“Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yu landed at Qingzhou Beihai Port three days ago and will arrive in Luoyang in three days.”
"Okay, this time the Japanese army conquered the Japanese country and made great contributions to our Qin Dynasty. The welcome ceremony should be more grand. Where is the Prime Minister?"
“The minister is here.”
“Prime Minister Wang Meng, please take my place and go out ten miles from the city to welcome back the Japanese soldiers.”
“I obey the order.”
As soon as Wang Mengcai retreated, Xi Zhicai, the Minister of Rites, stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, a blond and blue-eyed foreigner came to the embassy today, claiming to be an envoy from the Roman Empire, and their envoy will also Arriving in Luoyang two days later, Gu requested to see His Majesty."
“Messenger of the Roman Empire?”
Ying Hao suddenly became energetic. He did not expect that Rome would send an envoy to the Central Plains at this time.
You must know that Rome at this time had been torn into pieces, with various princes rising up and dividing the empire. The level of chaos was no less than that of the Central Plains after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Roman Empire was on the verge of collapse, but what was the purpose of sending envoys to the Central Plains?
Ying Hao wanted to understand this, so he immediately said: "Then after the conferment of the Japanese army is completed, we can meet the Roman envoy together."
Three days passed quickly, and Zhou Yu returned to Luoyang with three thousand representatives of the Japanese army, and was welcomed by Prime Minister Wang Meng ten miles outside the city.
"Prime Minister Wang, why are you here in person? How dare you benefit from the Prime Minister's great achievements with just a small achievement." Zhou Yu said humbly.
Wang Meng gently held his short beard and laughed loudly: "Captain Zhou, you have captured Iwami Ginzan, Echigo Jinshan, and Musashi mines this time, which has greatly increased our gold and silver reserves in Daqin. This is not a small achievement, but a huge achievement." great merit.
If you didn't want to cause too much noise, Your Majesty would even want to come to greet you personally. "
After hearing what Wang Meng said, the three thousand Japanese expedition representatives all showed excitement on their faces.
The emperor wanted to come to greet them in person, which shows that their meritorious service has been affirmed, which is the highest honor for soldiers.
After Wang Meng encouraged Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals, his eyes fell on Wang Jian again.
He knew that Wang Jian, his uncle, was a master of war, but he never expected that he would achieve such great success in conquering Japan, and even outshine Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief.
The Wang family has become a very popular minister, and Wang Meng is also the prime minister. Countless people below are watching him make mistakes. Although he has intentions for his own people, he can't show it too obviously, so in the end he didn't say anything, he just yelled at Wang Jian. nodded.
Wang Jian knew what Wang Meng meant, so he nodded in response.
“Let’s go quickly, all the people in Luoyang are waiting for your hero’s return.” Wang Meng said with a smile.
Zhou Yu nodded, then waved his hand, and the three thousand representatives, like one person, walked towards Luoyang in neat steps.
East Gate of Luoyang.
Li Cunxiao, Yuwen Chengdu, Sun Lingming, Qin Yong, Xiong Kuohai, Pei Yuanqing and other generals had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the Japanese army returning, they immediately rode up to meet it.
Yuwen Chengdu smiled and gave Lu Bu a slap, and joked: "Fengxian, you are finally back. This time you showed off your power in the Japanese country. You are in the limelight. Your achievements are spread among the people. We are so envious." Brother."
He and Lu Bu were both Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and both later surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, so they had the best friendship in private.
Hearing this, Lu Bu raised his head and said with an arrogant look: "Since I, Lu Bu, have taken action, how can I let them be arrogant?"
“Fengxian’s one-on-three and one-on-four performance is indeed wonderful, but it’s a pity that he didn’t even win a single battle.”
Li Cunxiao chuckled and said, what can be said is also true.
When Lu Bu fought against three, he retreated after breaking through, so that battle was technically lost. Although the God of Thunder, Yu Jianlei, was killed in the end, it was Huang Zhong who shot him, and it had nothing to do with Lu Bu.
As for the subsequent one-on-four, Lu Bu was at a disadvantage. Although Zhao Yun won the battle and beheaded Feng Shenzhi Nadubigu, the head was still not Lu Bu's, but Zhao Yun's.
So, despite Lu Bu's outstanding record in Japan, Li Cunxiao said that there was nothing wrong with him saying that he didn't win a single battle.
If other people said this, Lu Bu would definitely be angry, but Li Cunxiao was stronger than him, and he was much more tolerant of the strong.
Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Li Cunxiao's joke, but showed a thoughtful look. He was considering whether to tell Li Cunxiao the news that Xiang Yu was still alive.
Li Cunxiao, who is also eager for an opponent, would be very excited if he knew that Xiang Yu was still alive.
