Chapter 118: The Hou Mansion is Humiliated (Part 1)
The book is followed last time.
But when General Huangfu heard that the selection was completed, he hurriedly came to ask Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi saw that he was anxious, he immediately replied: "Report to the old general, my nephew has selected more than 10,000 elite troops, and then selected five thousand people from your and my army, a total of 20,000 people, which is enough to rescue Duke Lu.
Moreover, my nephew has ordered Gongming to return home and dispatch the 10,000 troops trained at home. In this way, our soldiers will be enough to fight against Zhang Jiao."
"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, the old general Huangfu cheered repeatedly, looked at Li Zhi with relief, stroked Xu Wenyan and said, "I'm a good nephew. After I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely express my merits to His Majesty's nephew!"
Li Zhi waved his hand and said indifferently: "My nephew is just worried about Mr. Lu's comfort. As for the matter of showing merits... it's better not to say it!"
General Huangfu was very satisfied with Li Zhi's humble performance.
Then he looked at the Yellow Turbans and asked, "These people who are still standing are the soldiers selected by their nephews?"
When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head, pointed at the people lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face and said, "These people who fall on the ground are the soldiers selected by the little nephew."
When General Huangfu frowned and looked at those people, he asked in confusion: "Are you a virtuous nephew wrong? How can these fallen people be considered elite?"
Li Zhijian, General Huangfu was shocked and shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that his method of selecting soldiers would inevitably lead to confusion among others.
However, Li Zhi did not change his mind and nodded firmly: "I'm not wrong, it's this group of people!"
When the old general Huangfu saw him nodding, he was puzzled and asked in suspicion: "Why can these people lying on the ground be selected by someone knocking down?"
When Li Zhi heard this, he opened the folding fan with a swish, shook it twice, and said sadly: "Although these people were knocked down by others, it is not that they are too brave, but that they are unwilling to wave to their comrades."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed and continued, "I am not afraid of the lack of abilities of the soldiers under my command, but I am afraid that their temperament is too poor.
If you lack abilities, you can use other methods to make up for it. However, if you have too poor temper, there is no way to make up for it.
My nephew chose a loyal and righteous army for the country and the people, but he didn't want a group of bandits under his command!"
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the old general Huangfu sighed and said with emotion: "What the nephew said is reasonable, but now none of the Han army can do it. They are all bandits that nephew said!"
Speaking of this, General Huangfu closed his eyes and sighed with regret, stopping his words.
Seeing that he was so decadent, Li Zhi comforted him: "The old general doesn't have to be like this."
After the Yellow Turban incident, the old general will inevitably receive a great reward when he returns to the court.
By then, the old general will take those troops
Wu Zhiren is well trained and taught.”
"Oh!" Hearing Li Zhi's comforting words, Old General Huangfu sighed and said helplessly: "That's all!"
At this time, Xu Huang had already returned to Erxianzhuang and saw a convoy outside the city gate of Erxianzhuang, holding a dragon flag, like a man in the palace.
Seeing this, Xu Huang asked the soldiers guarding the city: "Who is this? What's the matter here?"
The soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Xu Huang, so they did not dare to neglect it. They bowed and said, "Report to General, these people claim to be people from the palace and come to Xuanshou."
"Announcement?" Xu Huang was even more puzzled and asked, "Aren't Xingzhi's brother in Wancheng at this time? Who are these people proclaiming the imperial edict?"
The soldiers guarding the city replied, "I heard that they were promulgating the decree to the mistress."
"Madam?" Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this. He was afraid of something unexpected, so he stopped talking to the city guardian and hurried to the city lord's mansion.
After Xu Huang came to Master Li's residence, he saw a group of people from the palace proclaiming an imperial edict to Xun Yuan, so he hurried over.
At this time, the eunuch who announced the edict had finished reading the edict, and Xun Yuan was about to take it with both hands.
At this moment, among the crowd of people who announced the imperial edict, an ugly man came out and looked at Xun Yuan lustfully and said, "We are here to preach the imperial edict. Could it be that Mrs. Don't you treat me well?"
After hearing this, Xun Yuan looked at him in disgust and said politely: "My husband is fighting for the Han Dynasty at this time. The family is full of women and children. There are no people in charge. It is inconvenient to welcome you into the mansion. I have neglected you, so please forgive me."
After hearing this, the ugly man became even more presumptuous, with a look of lust and soul-giving expression, and said with a slight slight : "Isn't your husband right?"
As long as the lady treats me well, after I go back, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for your husband!"
"Hmph!" Seeing his frivolous language, Xun Yuan snorted coldly and scolded unpleasantly: "Rareless! This is the residence of the ancient town of the Han Dynasty. My wife is also the county magistrate. Do you take Your Majesty seriously as a disciple?!"
"Ah~ this is a bad word!" The ugly man said relentlessly: "We came to announce the edict, and what we represent is Your Majesty. Is it a way to keep me out of the door?
Mrs. Don’t refuse, please take me in and arrange some fine wine and singers to treat me well.
I heard that Guxianghou had a lot of wine in his home, but he came down today to have a good time. As for the singer..."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xun Yuan lustfully: "This singer is as charming as her wife."
After saying that, the ugly man stretched out his right hand and wanted to touch Xun Yuan's face.
After the crowd, Xu Huang was furious when he saw the man so rude. He was about to come forward to stop him, but a child voice came: "Rareless! Who dares to insult his mother!"
Everyone looked in the sound and saw a child walking out of the mansion, about three or four years old, with a round face blushing and staring at her eyes. Although she looked angry, she looked very cute.
After the child walked to the ugly man, he pointed at his nose and scolded: "You are so ugly, you dare to come out and show your eyes, but you dare to bully your mother. Are you not afraid that my father will kill you after he comes back?!"
The ugly man was exposed and said furiously: "Whose dead child is this?! You are so rude! Let me educate you well for your father!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped the child's face.
"stop!"
“Bold!”
Just as he took action, two shouts of scolding came, but Xun Yuan and Xu Huang shouted when they saw that he was going to beat the child.
But the man turned a deaf ear and continued to beat the child.
The child was very flexible. When he saw the big man hit him, he hid himself from the big man's slap.
Then, he ran to the big man, stared at the big man in front of him with his big black eyes, bulged his mouth, raised his right foot, and kicked him hard between his legs...
The big man was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted, staring at the child who was kicking his crotch with his feet.
"ah……!"
Then, the big man fell to the ground with his hands covering his crotch, rolling in pain, screaming loudly.
"…!" Xu Huang, who was running towards this scene, blinked his eyes and said nothing, but was stunned by the child's performance.
At this time, Xun Yuan walked forward quickly, hugged the child, looked up and down, and asked anxiously: "Has Zheng'er been injured? Does his feet hurt?"
This child was Li Zheng. He heard that someone who sent the order came and was a little curious, so he secretly watched outside inside the door.
After seeing that his mother was bullied by that man, he ran out to vent his anger for his mother.
At this time, Li Zhengzheng looked at the screaming man with disdain. After hearing his mother's anxious inquiries, he patted his little breasts and said proudly: "Don't worry, mom, how can a mere scum, hurt the child?!"
"That's good, that's good!" Seeing that Li Zheng was really fine, Xun Yuan felt relieved and hugged him tightly, not daring to let go again.
Then, Xun Yuan thought that her husband was born and died for the Han Dynasty, and now her life and death were unknown, while her group of elderly, weak, women and children were bullied by others. Thinking of this, she started crying.
Seeing that his mother was crying, Li Zheng raised his little hand, wiped the tears on her face, and said loudly: "Don't cry, mom, although dad is not at home, Zheng'er has grown up and can protect her mother!"
When Xun Yuan heard the comforting voice of her youngest son, she not only did not stop crying, but instead she burst into tears and howled loudly.
She cried and said, "My husband is living and dying for the Han Dynasty, but she doesn't expect that the wife and children in the family are bullied by others.
