Chapter 162 The Four Great Diamonds

Early in the morning on January 9, the 20th year of Jianping, Li Bin entered the palace to participate in the morning court, and reported to the emperor Zhao Zhe and the civil and military ministers of the court on the conquest of the various tribes of the Eastern Qiang in the morning court.

When he heard that the Zhennan Army under Li Bin had conquered more than 150 barbarian tribes by force, controlled more than 5 million people of each barbarian, and planned forty-six new counties, the emperor Zhao Zhe and the civil and military ministers in the court couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the five prefectures where the Zhennan Army is located are separated from the other fifteen prefectures and capital roads of the Dayan Empire by the Jinluo Kingdom, it is very difficult to convey information between the two sides.

The Dayan court only knew that the Zhennan Army had launched an attack on the various ethnic groups of the Eastern Qiang, but did not know the specific progress. As a result, the Zhennan Army only took less than a year to capture almost a mansion, which shocked the emperor Zhao Zhe and the civil and military ministers of the court.

Emperor Zhao Zhe said with emotion: "The Marquis of Zhennan has made another great contribution to my Dayan this time. If my Dayan can completely conquer the various tribes of the Eastern Qiang, the threat of the Jin Luo Kingdom to my Dayan will be completely lifted in the future."

Li Bin immediately asked Emperor Zhao Zhe: "Your Majesty, the 46 new counties are currently under the jurisdiction of Guizhou Prefecture. However, Guizhou Prefecture is already large in area and has nine counties and seventy-five counties. Will it set up another state prefecture in the Dongman land?"

Emperor Zhao Zhe hesitated for a moment and asked Li Bin: "What suggestions does Zhennan Hou have for this?"

Li Bin said loudly: "Your Majesty, most of the barbarians are unruly, so I suggest that you follow the example of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate of Wei State and establish the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate of our Dayan, and temporarily be under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Grand Commander's Office."

Emperor Zhao Zhe nodded slightly, and asked the civil and military ministers in the court, "What do the ministers think?"

Xie Zhitong, the Minister of War, immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with the suggestion of Zhennan Hou. The barbarians are unruly. After the establishment of the Eastern Man Protectorate, if Zhennan Army is in charge of the Eastern Man Protectorate, the Eastern Man Protectorate will be intimidated by the Eastern Man who surrendered to our Dayan."

Next, many military officers came out to support the imperial court in establishing the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate.

The civil servants did not stop the establishment of the Dongman Protectorate's Office, but only asked the county magistrates and county magistrates of the Dongman Protectorate's Office to establish new counties and counties, which must be appointed by the Ministry of Personnel of the court.

The military affairs of the Dongman Protectorate's Office can be fully responsible for the Zhennan Grand Commander's Office.

Emperor Zhao Zhe didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said to Li Bin with a smile: "There is a general Tu in Wei State, and my Dayan has a Zhennan Army. I hope the Zhennan Army can also capture a large Dongman Protectorate Palace for my Dayan like the Tu family army!"

Li Bin said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Zhennan Army will definitely strive to unify the Eastern Barbarian tribes for our Dayan!"

After the morning court ended, Emperor Zhao Zhe kept Li Bin and encouraged Li Bin for a while. Emperor Zhao Zhe asked Li Bin: "Is Zhennan Hou confident in the competition with the Dongqiang people on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

The Dongqiang delegation set the competition on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and there are still six days left before the competition.

Li Bin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have brought many powerful generals by my side this time, so I will not lose my face as a big Yan."

Emperor Zhao Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "According to the Dong Qiang people, the competition is not set for several specific games. The Dong Qiang people will send people to challenge them in turn. It is up to you to choose whether to agree to the challenge. Such a setting is a bit of a loss for you. Do you need to re-convene the rules of the competition with the Dong Qiang people?"

Li Bin shook his head and said, "I feel that it is not necessary, so I will follow the rules set by the Dong Qiang people. This time I will convince the Dong Qiang people of losing."

Emperor Zhao Zhe felt that Li Bin was a little too arrogant, but he did not reveal it. "Among the imperial guards and imperial guards in the capital, many generals are master warriors. I think that on the day of the competition, these generals can be temporarily transferred to your command to prevent any situation. Although the Dongqiang people nominally challenged the mighty generals under your command, they are actually challenging our entire Great Yan!"

Li Bin did not reject the kindness of Emperor Zhao Zhe. "Your Majesty has considered it carefully. With the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard, I have a greater grasp of this competition."

After Li Bin returned from the palace to his house in the inner city, Xie Yingying handed Li Bin a few pieces of paper, "Husband, these are all the information about the Eastern Qiang Mission that can be collected, including the so-called Four God Generals of the Eastern Qiang Mission. In addition to some information about the Eastern Qiang Mission from the court, some of them were collected by ourselves."

Li Bin took it and saw that the names of dozens of Eastern Qiang generals listed on several sheets of paper, as well as the most basic information of these Eastern Qiang generals.

Xie Yingying has not been idle in Yong'an City in recent years. With Li Bin's financial support, Xie Yingying spent three years opening the Li Family Hotpot Restaurant all the prefectures, counties and counties in the Dayan Empire.

In addition, Xie Yingying also relied on more than 1,000 Lijia hot pot restaurants to weave a huge intelligence network in the fifteen prefectures and capital roads of the Dayan Empire.

When Li Bin saw the information from the four gods, he couldn't help frowning.

In fact, the information that can be collected for the Eastern Qiang delegation is limited, but the paper introduces that the weapons of the four Eastern Qiang generals are all pairs of copper hammers. According to the size of the copper hammer, it is estimated that each copper hammer will exceed 250 kilograms, and a pair of copper hammers will exceed 500 kilograms. Moreover, the copper hammers used by the four Eastern Qiang generals are the same in size.

You should know that in the entire Zhennan Army, there were only Li Bin's weapons, weighing more than 500 kilograms. A pair of black iron hammers weighed 536 kilograms. Now four strong men who used more than 500 kilograms of weapons suddenly appeared. Li Bin couldn't help but feel shocked.

"This Four God General is a trouble. If all four of them use a pair of copper hammers worth more than 500 kilograms, there are not necessarily too many people under my command who can beat them."

Xie Yingying said with some concern: "Husband, what should I do? This competition not only involves the face of Dayan, but also affects his husband's reputation among the army and the people. We must not lose it!"

Li Bin smiled slightly, "Yingying, don't worry. Although there are not many people under my command who can beat the four divine generals of the Dongqiang tribe, it's not that there are none. I believe that Fan Kuai, Long Jie, Yuwen Chengdu, and Gao Chong can defeat the four divine generals of the Dongqiang tribe."

Next, Li Bin said to Xie Yingying: "Yingying, let me tell you something, don't tell me about it. In fact, Fan Kuai and Long are both great masters, and Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong can also be regarded as great master-level generals."

"What! Grand Master? Husband, are you not kidding?"

"Haha, not only Fan Kuai and Long are the great masters, Xue Li and Yang Zaixing are also the great masters. In addition, I have Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai, who are also powerful generals at the level of the great masters."

Li Bin's words made Xie Yingying a little stunned, "Husband, this is simply unbelievable. You know, for more than 600 years, the only Martial Saint Han Xiu was successfully promoted to the Grand Master Warrior."

Li Bin smiled and said, "Maybe there were people who were promoted to Grandmasters before, but they were just indifferent to fame and fortune and did not appear in the world. If I don't tell you, wouldn't you know that there are eight powerful generals under my command at the level of Grandmaster?"

Xie Yingying immediately showed a bright smile, "Since Fan Kuai, Long Jie, Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong are both powerful generals at the level of the Grand Master, there is no need to worry about the competition. With four powerful generals at the level of the Grand Master, it is difficult for us to lose."

On the evening of the 12th day of the first lunar month, Li Bin was playing with his son Li Jie. Xie Yingying hurried over and whispered to Li Bin: "Husband, the four so-called gods of the Eastern Qiang tribe are eating hot pot at a Li family hot pot restaurant in the east of the outer city. There are only more than twenty imperial guards and soldiers following him. This should be a good opportunity!"

When Xie Yingying saw that the sixty-four wolves generals under Li Bin were different from ordinary people, she couldn't help but ask what happened to Li Bin's wolves generals. Li Bin immediately told Xie Yingying the origin of these wolves generals in its original form, and asked Xie Yingying to keep the matter confidential, otherwise it would cause an uproar once it was spread.

The good opportunity that Xie Yingying mentioned refers to the medicine that can turn people into puppets on the four gods of the Eastern Qiang tribe.

The news brought by Xie Yingying made Li Bin's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to Dian Wei behind him and said, "Go and find the monk!"

In a Li Family Hotpot restaurant outside Yong'an City, four giants, like iron towers, were sitting in a private room, feasting at the mutton and cabbage in the hot pot.

More than 20 officers and soldiers of the Dayan Imperial Army sat in the two private rooms next door and were eating hot pot.

"Captain, how do you think those four monsters grow? They are eight feet and three inches tall, and they weigh even more than five hundred kilograms. I don't know if any of the powerful generals under Zhennan Hou can beat these four monsters on the 15th day of the first lunar month?"

The gang leader swallowed the mutton chewing in his mouth, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then said calmly: "Is anyone under Zhennan Hou able to defeat these four monsters? There is no need for us little men to worry about it. Our mission is to bring these four monsters back to the garrison of the East Qiang tribe's delegation safely, and not to cause any extraneous things."

The one who was talking just now was a leader, and he immediately said, "Captain, we have two brothers. If those four monsters are going to cause trouble, we can't stop them!"

The headmaster said: "Our mission is to prevent the people from provoking those four monsters. If those four monsters want to cause trouble, even if we pull out the entire team, we will not be able to stop the four of them."

After pausing, the team leader continued, "Zhennan Hou is the first general of my Great Yan, and he is even more powerful. Since Zhennan Hou dares to accept the challenge of the Eastern Qiang mission, I believe that someone under Zhennan Hou can defeat these four monsters. Let's not worry about it. When we walk back a while, everyone is smarter and don't let the people on the way collide with these four monsters."

"Captain, don't worry, the people on the street have been hiding far away when they see these four monsters. Who dares to provoke them?"

The quadruplet brothers in the private room had eaten more than 20 kilograms of mutton and several kilograms of cabbage, but the four of them still did not slow down.

The Dayan Empire did not have greenhouses, so in winter, the only green vegetables that can be served in the Li family hotpot restaurant in Beijing, which were stored in the cellar in autumn.

In fact, in addition to mutton and cabbage, this Lijia hot pot restaurant also has dozens of dishes, but the quadruplet brothers only ordered mutton and cabbage.

At this time, a waiter walked into the private room and said, "Several guests, I'll add some soup to your pot. Do you need anything else?"

The eldest among the quadruplet brothers said in the stiff Yan Guo dialect: "Add ten pounds of mutton, and two more pounds of cabbage."

The waiter added some thick soup to the pot and said with a smile: "Several customers use it slowly, ten pounds of mutton and two pounds of cabbage will come up soon."

After the waiter left the private room, he closed the private room door again, then suddenly let out a long sigh, and then made a gesture to a strong man in the civilian clothes in the distance.

Next, the waiter walked into a private room next to him, carrying a copper pot with thick soup, "Several soldiers, young men, come and add some more soup to it."

In the private room where the quadruplet brothers are located, the eldest of the quadruplet brothers said to the three younger brothers: "I finally came out today, so we four brothers must have a good time!"

The fourth brother swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said, "Brother, we came out without saying hello to Shaohan. If we don't do it, the Shaohan should get angry after we go back."

The boss waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He is not a Khan yet. He finally came to the capital of Yan State. He didn't let him do this or that. If it weren't for the fact that he was a little sweat, I would have hit him with one hammer!"

Because the quadruplet brothers have lived in the lion group for many years, even though they have lost some wildness, they are still bloodthirsty. Even in the Khan Court of the Dong Qiang tribe, the quadruplet brothers will cause several lives at any time.

There was even a Dongqiang general whose cultivation level reached the level of a master warrior, but was killed by the boss of the quadruplet brother with a copper hammer just because he had a few confrontations with the boss of the quadruplet brother.

Because the Eastern Qiang Khan Yilede's partial protection against the quadruplet brothers did not pursue the boss of the quadruplet brothers at all. Killing the Eastern Qiang general, an Eastern Qiang general with a cultivation level of a master warrior would be in vain.

The second brother among the quadruplets said at this time: "In a few days of competition with the people of Yan, Shaohan will rely on us four brothers. The four brothers are just coming out to have a hot pot, which is not a big deal. Shaohan will not be a bad deal to the four brothers for such a small matter!"

The third brother among the quadruplet brothers smiled and said, "This competition is the opportunity for us four brothers to become famous. We...oh, no, why... why do I feel dizzy."

"Not good... I'm... I'm confused too."

"Someone...someone is in the pot...she is in the pot!"

None of the quadruplet brothers could stand up and all fainted.

At the same time, more than 20 imperial guards in the two private rooms next door also fell into coma.

After a while, Li Bin led Lu Zhishen into the private room where the quadruplet brothers were.

Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "Lord, it's the sweat-burning medicine that Bian Que is good at. These four big guys were stunned in an instant."

Li Bin looked at the quadruplet brother who was fainted and immediately ordered Lu Zhishen: "Feed the medicine to the four of them, and each of them would add half an extra dose of the medicine."

Since there are not many medicines left that can make people turn into puppets, Li Bin did not dare to add this medicine directly to the hot pot of the quadruplet brothers, worried that the medicine would be diluted by a large pot of soup and would lose its effect.

So he sent someone to take the opportunity of adding soup to the quadruplet brothers to give sweat medicine. This sweat medicine was prepared by Bian Que a long time ago.

After Lu Zhishen forced the medicine to the quadruplet brothers, he waited for a while and then used cold water to wake up the quadruplet brothers.

Looking at the four giants standing in front of him honestly, Li Bin couldn't help but smile and said, "They should be the real King Kong. From now on, they will be the four King Kongs under my command. Their names are Li Jia, Li Yi, Li Bing and Li Ding. Let the monk be responsible for the commander."

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, I have finished some experience in training the wolf generals. I will soon be able to train these four great kings like the sixty-four wolf generals, and can execute various commands."

A bowl of cold water poured on the mate's face, and the mate who had passed out immediately woke up with a tremor.

The scene in front of him suddenly scared the gangster. More than a dozen soldiers under his command fell into the private room, while a strong man in a common man stood in front of him.

Just as the mate was about to pull out his waist knife, the strong man in a cloth clothes said in a deep voice: "I am from Zhennan Hou. The four giants of the Dongqiang tribe next door have been brought back to the Marquis' Mansion by Zhennan Hou. You can report this to the superiors. These silver notes were rewarded to you by Zhennan Hou. By the way, which inner guard do you belong to?"

After speaking, the strong man in a common man pointed to the few silver notes on the dining table, and the top one was 1,000 taels of silver.

The captain looked at the silver notes on the dining table and couldn't help swallowing, "We are from Youtun Guard. The imperial guards stationed around the Dongqiang delegation's garrison are all from our Youtun Guard."

The strong man in a common man nodded slightly and said, "You'd better report this matter directly to Cui Yuan, the commander of Youtun Guard. Zhennan Hou brought the four giants of the Dongqiang tribe back to the Hou's Mansion. Try not to let the people of the Dongqiang tribe know as much as possible."

The chief of staff hesitated and asked, "I don't know the name of the hero Gao?"

"Wu Song, Zhennan Hou Mansion! You don't have to worry. After you go back, you just need to tell the coach of the Youtun Guard Cui Yuan that the four giants of the Dongqiang tribe were taken away by Zhennan Hou."

After Wu Song left, the troupe directly put five silver notes worth 1,000 taels on the dining table into his arms, and then he used cold water to wake up more than 20 subordinates in the two private rooms.

"Captain, what's going on? What about those four monsters?"

"Don't ask, hurry up and go back with me!"
