1085 The king treats me with a countryman, and I will report it to the countryman
After hearing Li Tianqu say, Liu Ci suddenly condensed his face and his body became a little stiffer. After all, Yang Shihou did cause great trouble to the Wei Dynasty at the beginning... Even if the two sides have reached an agreement from the overall situation, he thought that as a general under Yang Shihou, the emperor Li Tianqu, and even a group of Wei Dynasty generals, he might not be able to have any possibility of hatred and resentment.
I had thought to myself: Since I was an old subordinate sent by Yang Jieshuai to surrender, I was not the same as the troops of the Wei Dynasty, but I was still against each other before, and I was afraid that someone would not be treated as his own. And Liu Ci was afraid that someone would still hate Yang Shihou's defeat of the Wei army, causing generals such as Huo Cun, Wang Chongshi to be defeated and died... I thought that people had to bow their heads under the roof, and they might have to survive a period of time when someone was wearing small shoes, and they should be more cautious...
However, today the Emperor of Wei Dynasty suddenly sent someone to Xuanshou to the palace to meet him. Liu Ci thought to himself that when I was serving under Yang Jieshou’s tent, I was just an infantry commander, nor a noble general with a heavy army in any force. This time I was ordered to escort Jieshou’s descendants to Bianjing, and now I have to wait for the recruitment. In the eyes of the emperor who occupied the Central Plains and had a vast territory, I was afraid that there would be no difference compared to a front pawn... So why did he deliberately summon me?
Liu Ci was originally nervous, but Li Tianqu summoned him to meet and said something, and then he directly broke the window paper. Naturally, he couldn't help but become nervous. Liu Ci listened more attention and saw Li Tianqu and said:
"This is not a secret past. If I and Yang Shihou were both wild and wild, and if he killed my close friends, it would certainly be considered a death vengeance. However, the heroes who fought in the late Tang Dynasty competed with each other, and the military men who joined the army had to work hard, of course they would also have to seek a more ambitious future. Zhu Wen was also a hero of a generation, and Yang Shihou had previously thought that he was more likely to dominate the world, so he became enemies of our dynasty many times... How many were the vassal states and the dynasty that were destroyed by me? Liang and Jin successively became enemies of our dynasty one after another, and now how many people have surrendered and supported us to achieve success?
Compared with personal grudges, I am seeking peace and chaos and clearing the world. As long as I have the ability of civil and military, I am willing to use it for my dynasty, I don’t care who he served for, and whether he was an enemy of our dynasty in the past, and I will promote and use it more. Otherwise, if I only had old grudges with Yang Shihou, I would make things difficult for you, a general who has already joined our dynasty. As the king of a country, this situation would be too small?
You are Yang Shihou's subordinate. You have been in our dynasty for a while and have always been hostile before, so I can probably understand your concerns. So this time I call you here, and I will meet you openly. Not only will you feel at ease, but it will not be long before you can make you a chance to make a name in our dynasty army..."
Li Tianqu was just talking, and there was also an eunuch Huangmen who came from the Zhenxiu Office of Guanglu Temple. Liang planned to present a few plates of delicacies and imperial wine, and was waiting at the gate of the hall. The scriptures reported that the wine and food were brought to the hall one after another. Li Tianqu filled the jade cups with imperial wine, and then said:
"Although the Wu Kingdom clearly surrendered to our dynasty, he regarded the Lord Wu as a puppet and controlled the court. Even if Xu Wen, the powerful minister who was in charge of military affairs and internal affairs, was no different from the lord of a country, he was extremely ambitious and unwilling to always submit to the Central Plains. However, Xu Wen secretly colluded with the Khitan, but the envoys had already obtained the case for our dynasty. Now the evidence is conclusive, so our dynasty also had the name of launching a army to question the crime.
Although we want to attack Wu, we will naturally have the main military forces such as Huainan, the vassal states in our dynasty... However, Chu and Wu will share weal and woe, and they will definitely send troops to restrain them and prevent our dynasty from easily killing Jiangnan. I was planning to take a two-pronged approach, so I dispatched you to Jiangling. Once Chu moves, you will immediately enter Hunan with the army.
As for the commander-in-chief of the army in the State of Chu, I know that he promised you a heavy responsibility. If you make contributions to defeating the enemy, you will be rewarded. After saying so much, I also want to let you understand that since you have served our dynasty, I will only look at your ability to fight and fight, and whether you are worthy of being a key position and taking on a great responsibility in the future. Although I have given you this opportunity, it will also depend on whether you can grasp it at that time..."
Liu Ci listened in a daze. He thought that Li Tianqu was summoning him to meet him this time, because he planned to inquire about the mountains, rivers and terrain in the Yunnan region, and even the customs and customs of the local tribes. It is said that the Wei Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, so there is no need to deliberately dispatch him to surrender soon, not to mention that the Ya of Yang Shihou's old subordinates will participate in the upcoming war.
To make the worst plan, Liu Ci thought that he had no foundation in the Wei Dynasty army and had no human relationships to rely on, so he would likely be stationed in the local area for a long time and would not have the opportunity to go to war to achieve success. He was afraid that he would have to endure hard for more than a decade and could not have hoped for the opportunity to be promoted... However, he was nervous, but he did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly. Liu Ci could not even imagine that this was the Emperor Li Tianqu of the Wei Dynasty who called him to discuss and personally gave him an opportunity that he had never imagined.
First, he said it out loud. Li Tianqu did not hesitate to mention the gangs that Yang Shihou had formed with the Wei Dynasty in front of him, and had already expressed his attitude, which really made Liu Ci feel much more at ease. What was even more surprising was that the national war that would soon be started would not be left behind. The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty personally arranged it to be transferred to Jiangling to show his skills.
Liu Ci was just a little puzzled, thinking that when he was conquering the Kingdom of Shu as Yang Shihou surrendered to Shu, he was fighting against the Dachanghe Kingdom in the south. Although he was fierce and unstoppable, he destroyed the enemy's troops and defeated repeatedly, and killed the old people of Nanzhao. However, he was just a commander of the vassal state Ya Army and turned to Shu. Although he had made a name for himself in Yunnan, he was still an unknown person in the Central Plains.
In theory, whether it is identity and status, or not, when he was short of his submission to the Wei Dynasty, he was far from qualified to receive and encourage the Emperor, and he personally thought about his ability to make achievements as soon as possible... The opportunity came too quickly, and he didn't dare to think about such good things, so Liu Ci was a little unbelievable...
However, with Liu Ci's nature, he wore strong armor and fell asleep for many years, and became the source of the idiom "Shoulder" of the quilt. A year before his death, he had to command troops and command generals, but personally entered the enemy's camp. Even if he had been in the army for more than ten years for suppression, he would be able to make a name immediately once he was given a chance. Of course, he was of course the kind of person who hoped to go out to make achievements in the war and would never be willing to live a peaceful life.
What I am most afraid of is that I am not valued and will not be able to make a successful war for a few years, otherwise I will have to surrender my subordinates, and my abilities are gradually abandoned, and I have only wasted my time... And Emperor Wei... Why does Your Majesty value me, the general who surrendered to the Southern Central Army, so I don't have to think about so many now. Since I trust me so much... Isn't it just that as the ancients said, "Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, I will repay you."
In short, when there is an opportunity, I have to go forward. I was forced to fight with Yang Jieshuai to Yunnan. But now, since Yang Jieshuai has reached an agreement with His Majesty, I escort Jieshuai's descendants to Bianjing under the order of Jun, and then surrender to the Wei Dynasty... I have been hoping to return to the Central Plains to become more famous and to compete for its martial arts reputation!?
Liu Ci was thinking in his heart, and his mood was undulating like waves, and he became more and more excited... Seeing Li Tianqu smile on his face, he held up his jade cup and gestured to him, Liu Ci suddenly felt a stream of passionate blood surge in his chest. He nodded and thanked him. Then he raised his neck, drank the wine in the cup, and immediately left the chair and stood up, bowed to Li Tianqu and said:
"What kind of virtue is the last general? He is really flattered by His Majesty's attention so much. He is deeply moved to Jiangling! In order to protect His Majesty's great kindness, the last general rushed to Jiangling. At that time, he was ordered to fight and would definitely use troops to die. Even if our dynasty is heartbroken, he will not be hated!"
