Chapter 726: One hundred years ago, who is the father?
There are no cities in the desert. The only place that can barely be called a city is probably the location of the Barbarian Royal Court.
It’s just that this city wall is too short, and the surrounding layout is too loose.
A hundred years ago, under the leadership of the royal court, the barbarians conquered east and west and plundered many people from various places. Naturally, there were a large number of craftsmen here, and the craftsmen here included various craftsmen.
Furthermore, building a city is not too difficult as long as the manpower and material resources are sufficient, unless you want to build a majestic city that can rival the capitals of the East and the West.
However, just as the Yan people have always looked down on the so-called culture and education of the Qian people;
When your sword and horse can take advantage of the confrontation between the two sides, you will naturally think that your system Culture is stronger, so when the royal court was at its peak, it never thought of learning some of the best of Eastern and Western systems and cultures, and firmly believed that this way of life of its own was the healthiest and most suitable for the growth of warriors.
I have to say that for a long time, the barbarians did have this kind of self-confidence, but as the Yan State fought back again and again, they would rather die than surrender, especially the battle between the barbarians and the Yan people in the desert a hundred years ago. After the decisive battle that broke out on the border;
The Barbarian Royal Court, which gathered most of the warriors from the desert tribes, under the leadership of their Barbarian King, fought with the Yan people for a full year.
During this period, the Yan people also defeated the Northern Expedition of Qian State.
In the end,
The Barbarian King had to admit that he really couldn't fight or gnaw down his imperial neighbor in the east called "Yan".
The Yan people finally forced the barbarians to give in after hundreds of years of bloody battles, as well as the cost of several emperors dying in battle.
After this,
the barbarian king made a decision that seemed very wise but was actually foolish;
Because of the decisive battle with the Yan State, the desert barbarian tribes suffered great losses, not only the death of tribal warriors, but also the disruption in production. The barbarians, whose production economic model was more fragile, began to live extremely difficult lives.
As the alpha wolf, the foundation of Wang Ting’s power and the integrity of his power come from the ability to lead the tribes that follow you to eat meat.
Since Dongfang is not easy to fight, and the Yan people are too stubborn,
Yes,
Turn around,
Go west and touch it!
In this way, after the decisive battle a hundred years ago, the barbarians and the Yan people took two different paths because of the cessation of large-scale wars.
On the side of the Yan people, the general who made world-renowned achievements in the battle against the Qian Kingdom was granted the title of Beihou and forever in the desert;
In the Yan Kingdom, in the early years, in order to cooperate with the barbarians for many years, The system similar to the emperor and princes formed during the great wars evolved into a situation where many aristocratic families threatened the imperial power;
As for the barbarians,
After finishing the exploration to the east, he turned around and went to the west to explore. He didn’t know it until he touched it, and he was shocked when he touched it;
The barbarian warriors who were accustomed to the bravery and fearlessness of the Yan people, in the west, were Lost happiness!
The small countries in the West are really easy to fight. They are also rich and fertile, and their women are more charming.
Because of the westward advance of the barbarians, there was a risk of overthrow in the west;
Later, the barbarian king underestimated the enemy and rushed in, was ambushed, and died in battle, taking the Golden Horde King with him. Most of the direct descendants of the court were buried with him, and the barbarians were divided since then;
Most of the barbarians were expelled back to the desert, while some remained and were Westernized. They no longer believed in barbarian gods but began to believe in God and became mercenary tribes.
At this time,
the royal capital that appeared in front of Li Fei was actually built under the order of the barbarian king.
"The fact that the barbarian king was able to order the construction of the capital means that he already knew in his heart who he should learn from." Li Fei said.
"Your Highness, although the desert is vast, oases are scarce and the land is barren. In fact, it is not suitable for building a city." Chang Shi explained.
"This is different. If it is just a royal city, it can still be supported. With this city and without this city, it is completely different.
Last time I attacked Chu, King Jingnan was at peace Why did the Marquis of Xi want to destroy the capital of Chu State despite risking thousands of miles to attack? This is why The truth.
The capital of a country is like a person's heart. If the heart is there, the blood will be connected, but if the heart is not there, the people will be scattered. "
Chang Shi was a little surprised, but he still said:
“Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness.”
Chang Shi knew that although His Royal Highness had been growing up outside, he had always had a good teacher.
Of course, the old Confucian scholar actually valued Chen Xianba, and Li Fei had always been listening in.
"As His Highness said, it would be a pity. If the barbarians were to build this city, then..."
"It could not be built. It was not foresighted when it was strong. If you do a good job in laying the foundation, it will be difficult to repair it when it declines.
If you can, don’t you think that the barbarian kings over the past hundred years would not want to build this capital?
First, it is too laborious to repair, and it is too difficult to rely on the power of the royal court itself;
Of course, it is not impossible to repair if you grit your teeth;
But at that time, I was the Marquis of Zhenbei. The mansion is already on the desert border, and the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army has also taken shape, attacking and defending in different positions.
If Wang Ting dares to really build this capital, then my father, my grandfather, and my great-great-grandfather will dare to personally lead the Zhenbei Army's cavalry to attack its capital.
Originally, the place where the Royal Court is stationed cannot be defeated, but it can still run, go around, and retreat;
The desert is huge, and if I don’t want to face you directly, there will naturally be a lot of room for you to move around. It will inevitably drag you until you are stranded and exhausted, with nothing to gain.
But if the capital is built,
there will be too many bottles and cans, and it will not be so easy to throw them away as much as you want.
When the time comes,
even if my Zhenbei Army cavalry arrives here, Wang Ting will have to bite the bullet and fight me here.
This is a situation that I, the Zhenbei Houfu, want to see. At the same time, it is also a situation that Wang Ting knows he will never win.
For a clan or a country,
if it is missed, it may be just a hundred years, or even several hundred years, just like this. It is difficult to make up for it even if you want to make up for it. ”
Speaking of this,
Li Fei reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and said while chewing:
"Just like me, Dayan, what was the situation like five years ago when my country opened up to the outside world?
To the west, the barbarians have long declined and are no longer as brave as they used to be;
To the south, Qian People pretend to be peaceful, but in reality the border troops are ineffective;
< br>To the east, the three families are divided into Jin, the king is not a king, and the ministers are not ministers;
It is the farthest state of Chu, where the great nobles control the court. It is so similar to my Yan Dynasty at the beginning, and at that time it was actually There was also rebellion among the princes
What a good opportunity, your majesty, father, and King Nan, fortunately they seized it. If we miss this period, my road in Dayan will be extremely difficult in the future.
Those who remain widowed and impoverished without cultivating martial virtues will surely perish;
Those who remain widowed and impoverished without knowing how to make progress will surely decline.
This is also what my husband said back then. When I was in the village, I only thought it made some sense. After I became the prince, my status was different and my perspective of seeing things was different, so I felt that this It makes sense. "
"Your Highness's teacher is really a great talent. I wonder if I can invite him to come out. I also want to see him and ask for advice. ”
"Teacher doesn't belong to me."
"This..."
"Besides, the teacher has such a temper that he doesn't want to come."
At this time,< br>
The head guard at the front came over to report:
"Your Highness, the royal court sent someone to greet you."
"Okay."
Li Fei put all the remaining cakes in his mouth into his mouth, clapped his hands, and chewed quickly in his mouth In his hands, he began to arrange his python robe.
Then,
he walked out of the carriage.
Outside,
there are a group of barbarian knights with bright armor standing in the forest. They are mighty, they are majestic, they have high morale, their nostrils are turned to the sky, with an aura of looking down on everything.
Li Fei remembered that Chen Xianba once said to him that when gangs in the town were fighting, they would often choose the biggest guy in their gang to hold the best knife and place them in the most conspicuous front row. Come to suppress the battle.
Chen Xianba also said that when two gangs were fighting, two government servants came over while yawning, as if they had been too happy in the red tent last night and had not slept well, but As soon as they came out, both sides immediately became frightened.
True self-confidence does not need to be deliberately expressed or displayed;
Just like the scene in front of me,
the Barbarian Royal Court,
this is to show its most "powerful" side to myself, the prince of Zhenbei.
Li Fei thought this in his heart, but his body began to tremble, and then he became unsteady and almost fell off the carriage. Fortunately, Chang Shi beside him helped him.
Chang Shi was shocked at first. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince, who had been chatting with him in the carriage about the general situation, was not someone who would be frightened so easily.
However, in the final analysis, the Kingdom of Zhu Xia plays conspiracies and scheming. Well, even the Yan people, who are the most "barbaric" in the eyes of Qian Chu, are actually much superior to the barbarians.
This is showing weakness to the enemy.
"Hahahaha."
A middle-aged man with a strong physique wearing black armor laughed and walked to the carriage. There was an eagle standing on his shoulder.
“I have met the Crown Prince, and I am very polite.”
The little barbarian prince gave a gesture similar to that of a young actor on the stage. With his attire and size, he looked nondescript.
“Oh, I’ve seen the little prince.”
“Come on, get off the car!”
The little prince stretched out his hand to pick Li Fei off.
Li Fei smiled, stretched out his hand and put it on the hand of the little barbarian prince.
Unexpectedly, the little barbarian prince put his other hand on Li Fei's waist, almost lifting Li Fei up and then landing him on the ground.
“Ouch, it scared me to death, it scared me to death.”
Li Fei patted his chest and said.
"Haha, Your Majesty, don't be offended. I'm a rough guy, hahaha."
"Don't be offended, don't be offended."
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
"Please, please, please."
Chang Shi followed as a follower.
The little prince of the barbarians is really not young. The reason why he is still called the little prince at such an old age is because the old barbarian king has lived too long.
The little prince's behavior was free and easy, even rude, but after Chang Shi saw the change of face of his eldest son, he was not sure whether the other party was also deliberately acting.
Next,
The crown prince of Zhenbei Palace entered Wangting City under the leadership of the young barbarian prince.
Along the way, barbarian warriors stood on both sides of the road, each with bright armor.
"Your Highness, what do you think of me, the barbarian warrior?"
Li Fei immediately replied:
"Mighty and majestic, colorful!"
"Hahaha, it is not comparable to the Zhenbei Army of the Shizi family."
"What is this comparison? The barbarians and I, Dayan, have long been at peace. Let's all live in harmony like this Isn’t it good? There is no need to use swords or guns anymore?”
“Yes, that’s right, that’s right.”
After entering the royal city, I saw many tribal flags. The little prince Iguci introduced Li Fei.
Those who can enter the royal city to set up flags are the big and respectable tribes in the desert, with powerful strength and large population. Of course, there are more small tribes who can only set up tents and flags outside the city.
At first, Li Fei was a little nervous.
But gradually, he did not panic;
Because it is more difficult for him to be a qualified prince of Zhenbei Palace now, but let him be the shy person in the village Xiang has never seen a young man in the world, and he is good at it, just acting in his true colors.
So,
The next scene is extremely harmonious.
In front of the little prince, the prince of Zhenbei Palace was a little submissive and a little trembling. He had a very strange feeling in everything he saw.
Actually, many people were paying attention to him, but he just didn't show any flaws.
No matter how good the disguise is, it cannot withstand the life of more than ten years.
The Golden Horde Alliance Conference was large in scale, and there were many leaders from various departments gathered. Some leaders also came specially to pay homage to Li Fei, the eldest son of Zhenbei Palace.
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion has guarded the desert for hundreds of years, and its power among the barbarians needs no mention.
Li Fei returned the greetings one by one, showing no sign of impatience.
There are also houses in the city;
But in the center area, there is a large tent. The tent is very high and covers a large area. It is like a small palace built with tents. .
The little prince came over with Li Fei, and the guards at the door all bowed and stepped away.
In the end, only a barbarian who didn't look like a barbarian stood at the door.
His hair is red, his eyes are glowing with amber, but his face is dark and rough like a barbarian.
“Come, Crown Prince, let me introduce to you, this is King Youguli of my royal court, Sabedo.
King Youguli, this is Zhenbei The crown prince of the palace.”
“I’ve met the crown prince,” Sabado saluted.
"I have met King Youguli."
"I want to take the prince to see his father."
King Youguli nodded and stepped aside.
Immediately,
Li Fei walked into the king's tent under the leadership of the little prince.
In the king's tent,
the old barbarian king was wearing a tiger skin and was sitting there.
Tiger skin is very powerful, but at first glance, one can instinctively feel that the thin old man inside the tiger skin is the real king of beasts.
“I have met the Barbarian King.”
Li Fei saluted the old Barbarian King, so there was no need to kneel down.
"The Li family's baby is here, haha, okay, sit down."
Two maids came forward and gave them blankets.
Li Fei and the little prince sat opposite each other.
Sitting down, Li Fei took out a letter from his arms and said:
"King Man, this is a personal letter from my mother to you."
"Oh, okay, let me take a look."
The maid presented the letter.
After reading the letter, the old barbarian king nodded,
said:
"Chidu."
"Father."
"The wife of the Li family wants to marry my family."
The little prince looked at him in surprise. Li Fei.
“Haha.”
The old barbarian king smiled and said:
"I think it seems that Wang Ting has already married the Ji family, and then married the Li family. From now on, my family will With Dayan, there will be harmony, and the two peoples will share peace."
"Please ask the barbarian king to make it complete," Li Fei said, bending down.
At this time,
The little prince suddenly said, "Why do we women from the desert always marry into the Yan? Don't you Yan people have a saying, it's not rude to call but not to return.
Let's do this,
< br>Your Majesty, your sister is not here At home, let her marry me. From now on, we will be real brothers. Wouldn’t it be better?” , didn’t make a sound, just half-closed his eyes.
In the tent,
the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Li Fei was not furious,
but thought about it seriously,
said:
"If I marry your daughter, you will be my husband-in-law. If you marry my sister, you will become my brother-in-law. Doesn't this mess up the hierarchy?"
"Hahaha, that's what I said. , in my desert, if I don’t pay attention to this, I am my father’s woman, The son can also inherit."
Li Fei looked at the old barbarian king,
the old barbarian king smiled and scolded:
"You beast, I have long known that you are thinking about you. It’s been a long time for a few girls.”
"Hehe."
"This can't be done. Barbarians are barbarians. After all, I am a Yan person. If this matter gets out, how can I continue to be the heir apparent in the future?
Barbarian King, Prince, you should know that the Prince of Zhenbei has been worse than ever in the past few years. Years have passed, the army has been dismantled, and the imperial court has been taking action against my palace.
You think, if this information is revealed, wouldn’t my palace become even more passive? "
The old barbarian king smiled. He nodded and said: "Yes, you Yan people just have a lot of rules."
"That's because you haven't seen the Gan people. In the eyes of the Gan people, I, the Yan people, are actually barbarians."
"Hahahahaha." The old barbarian king laughed, and then began to cough.
Then,
he waved his hand,
said:
"That's all, let's marry the granddaughter, Zhidu, give him the eldest daughter."
"Yes, father."
After the brief meeting, Li Fei left the tent .
The little prince stayed.
"Father, what do you think?"
"What is it?"
"He?"
"Who is it?"
"The crown prince of Zhenbei Palace."
"He is Li The older generation of the family is not dead yet, that’s something you should look at, as a father is too lazy to look at this.”
"This..."
"He is a real coward, so what's the use? He's pretending, so what's the use? If he doesn't sit in the position of King of Zhenbei, he is just a monster, so what's the use? What?
Are the Li family’s Zhenbei Army listening to him now?”
“Yes, my father said so. "Yes."
"Ahem...cough...you go and do your work and pay more attention to the news in the east. Instead of caring about the temperament of this Li family doll now, it is better to care about the rumors in the east." Is the death of the Emperor of Yan really true? ”
"Yes, Father."
......
That night, Li Fei lived in another very exquisite and spacious tent not far from the king's tent. Then, a group of young barbarians The nobleman took him to drink at night.
This is really a trick.
Li Fei’s ability to drink is not good, and he was quickly knocked unconscious.
Then,
a barbarian woman was sent to his tent.
After changing his clothes and cleaning his body, Li Fei felt that this girl's hands were so soft and his body was so hot.
……
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Li Fei looked at the woman in his arms, who was older than him.
She should have woken up long ago when she woke up.
“You are...”
“Didn’t you come to propose marriage to my grandfather?”
“Oh, yes, so you are...”
"Your wife."
"Oh, okay."
Li Fei got married like this;
He really didn't expect that the barbarian marriage ceremony, It’s so simple, direct and fast!
I would not be able to return to Zhenbei Palace as a heir so quickly,
After all, he knew that his father was Li Liangting when he was very young, and he was mentally prepared for it.
He got married,
His first time was given to her.
Li Fei also checked the bed, but found no red.
"You are me, the first man." she said.
"I know."
Mommy once told herself that some girls will not be popular.
My wife is taller than him, and my daughter-in-law is stronger than him;
Of course, she is not fat, her skin color is fair among barbarians, her smile is generous, and she is quite good-looking.
She should be the woman that grandma once said would give birth to children and have a prosperous husband.
In the afternoon,
Li Fei was taken by his new wife to meet the little prince.
The little prince who was comparable to his brothers yesterday is now a generation higher than him.
Li Fei knelt down and toasted him.
Then,
Li Fei went to see the old barbarian king again, kowtowed and saluted.
This is not called losing power and humiliating the country. Marrying someone else’s girl is a proper etiquette.
Then, I went to the sacrificial place and asked the priest to bless me.
After this series of events,
Li Fei felt that he had not married a wife, but that he had been married into the family.
On the road to the royal city,
Li Fei was stopped by a group of barbarian noble teenagers.
Young people are often the most impulsive and passionate;
Because unlike their parents and ancestors, they were educated by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
“Die lame, die lame!”
"You lame man, just wait. Sooner or later, I'm going to take your head!"
"I will take back my pearls in the desert!"
"Iguna is what I'm going to do. The woman you want to marry is not worthy of her!”
Li Fei was forced to the ground by flying horse hooves.
His wife was resolute, and she actually pulled out a knife that she didn't know where she had hidden before, and blocked it in front of him.
"He is my man. No matter whose family you are from, if you dare to take a step forward, I will chop him to death!
Believe it or not,
I will chop you to death,
< br>Your father and your grandfather don’t dare to come to me to ask for an explanation!”
Li Fei, lying on the ground, looked at his wife’s back.
Suddenly I felt that my daughter-in-law was so beautiful, even more beautiful than she looked when she sobered up during the day.
Then,
Another young man on horseback came, holding a bow and arrow, and scolded the young nobles.
"This is a family matter of my Golden Horde family. If you don't want to be shot to death by my arrow, just get out!"
Li Fei remembered that this young man was his brother-in-law.
When he went to kowtow to his father-in-law, he stood by the side, gnashing his teeth in hatred towards himself.
The young nobles retreated,
Then,
The brother-in-law turned the horse's head,
glaring at Li Fei who was still lying on the ground,
He cursed:
"If you haven't stood up yet, are you considered a man? You actually let my sister stand in front to protect you!"
Li Fei got up with the help of Iguna. .
What a pity,
The roads in the royal city are very dirty, and the python robes that my mother and sister embroidered for themselves were stained.
However, Li Fei still took out a dagger and threw it at his brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law reached out to catch it and looked at Li Fei suspiciously.
"Meeting gift." Li Fei explained.
"Ha."
The brother-in-law snorted disdainfully, then turned the horse's head and left.
"Husband, I scared you."
"It's okay." Li Fei didn't take it seriously.
When the little prince said he wanted to marry his sister, he was not angry;
Now when he was humiliated by a group of barbarians, he was not angry either;
Because he did not know why he Be angry,
Why,
are you angry with a group of dying people?
In the evening,
Iguna wanted to wash her feet, but Li Fei refused.
She said she should serve him, and he said he was not used to being served.
Then
the two people put their feet in the tub and wash them together.
Blow out the lamps,
rest.
But before I had time to reflect on last night, suddenly, violent cheers came from outside.
Li Fei sat up on the bed, and Iguna also got up and dressed.
"Husband, let me go outside and take a look."
Li Fei nodded.
The entire barbarian royal court, inside and outside the city, has turned into a sea of joy.
They are laughing, they are laughing;
The leaders and nobles of each tribe hugged each other tightly, drank precious wine together, and kept howling at the starry sky with real wolves.
This is an expression of joy from the heart.
Li Fei waited until Iguna came back,
Iguna sat next to him, holding Li Fei’s hand,
said:
"Grandpa just announced to his people that the great emperor of your Yan Kingdom has really passed away."
The Emperor of Yan has passed away,
The people of the Yan Kingdom are here Crying;
The barbarians are laughing;
Li Fei feels,
This is what the emperor of Dayan should really look like.
In his entire life, Emperor Yan never used large-scale military force in the desert.
But after Dayan won great victories in foreign conquests again and again, the barbarian people, especially the barbarian nobles, felt even more depressed.
They were really worried. They were worried that the Yan people would turn around and attack them after they had eaten enough to expand their territory in other directions.
Maybe, because they are also thinking in their hearts that when they become strong again, they will take revenge on the Yan people.
At this time,
a maid came over.
Iguna got up, went to talk to her, and then came back and said to Li Fei, who was sitting by the bed:
"Father said that the Golden Horde Alliance Conference will be held tomorrow."
< br>Li Fei was stunned for a moment,
Then he nodded and said
"Oh, okay."
At this time,
someone opened the tent and walked in.
It's his brother-in-law, Yi Guxie.
On his waist hung the dagger he had given him during the day.
Iguxie pointed at Li Fei and said
"Brother-in-law from Yanren, your emperor of Yan is dead."
"I already knew it when I came here." Li Fei replied.
Igu smiled evilly,
said:
“You will be proud of marrying my sister, because in the future, I will give you honor and care, I, I will become your Li family’s backer.”
Li Fei nodded,
Said:
“I should say this to you.”
“Treat my sister well. If you let me know that you bully my sister, I will lead the warriors in the clan to The Li family will teach you a lesson with their own hands!”
“Igu Xie, don’t behave yourself, get out of here!” Igu Na scolded.
Iguxie listened to his sister. To be precise, they did have a deep love for each other;
Therefore, for him, he was very angry when he learned that his sister was married to a Yan man by his father and grandfather.
Igu Xie turned around, but before he could walk out of the tent, he was stopped by Li Fei.
Li Fei said:
"I will protect your sister... and you ”
“You’re the cripple?”
"Yes."
"I feel pity for my sister, even if she marries a cripple, she also likes to talk big words."
"Hahahaha..."
Become the King Li Fei, who had always behaved like a village boy since entering the court, suddenly became bold and heroic at this moment.
One of his lame legs was resting on the bed,
With his hand,
patted it,
pointed to the top of his head,
said to his brother-in-law:
“Are you talking big?”
"Yes."
"Well, you can go out and ask, ask your dad, oh no, it's our dad now, and our grandpa.
Go and ask those The great nobles of the barbarians, the big-headed men, ask those older people;
Ask,
This desert,
Counting a hundred years forward,
Who is the father? ”
