Chapter 114: Nirvana
Beim Mountain, Ye Zhao once trained the first batch of Beigongwei here, which has special significance for the girls of Beigongwei.
The camp where the former training camp has now been dug up, and the craftsmen who were mobilized have busy placing the coffins that were made overnight neatly in the dug-out large graves, and then ordered people to cover the soil.
In Li Ru's somewhat surprised gaze, some masons poured white mud paste on it and applied it layer by layer, finally forming a huge white egg.
A tombstone as high as two feet tall was erected in front of Baidan. For some reason, Li Ru always felt that the white hemispherical orb seemed to be becoming stiff little by little, but at this moment, it was difficult for him to touch it. After all, it was a bit of a blasphemy of the dead.
Although he had seen such ages, not to mention blaspheming the dead, he had seen those fierce women who could not even praise Lu Bu stood at a distance of less than twenty steps away from him. Li Ru was not sure if he did this, he would anger these women.
During the three days after Ye Zhao left, he summoned craftsmen to build this tomb. Now, the construction has finally been completed. Three hundred Beigong Guards were buried here. Li Ru didn't know what the meaning of Ye Zhao did, but judging from the solemn feeling emitted by the female soldiers around him, this place must have a unique significance for these female soldiers.
"Four years ago, it was here that I, Ye Zhao, brought you palace maids who should have lived a carefree life in the palace into the army." Ye Zhao walked to the three armies, and tens of thousands of soldiers gathered around and looked at Ye Zhao silently.
"Military career is not a good destination in this era of war. This is especially true for women. Men can obtain merit and glory, but it is difficult for women. The times have too many injustice to women. It seems that from the moment they were born, women have become vassals of men. If they want to gain recognition from the world, even if they put in ten times more effort than men, they may not be able to do it."
"It seems that the meaning of women is to reproduce for men!" Ye Zhao looked at the silent female soldiers and took a deep breath: "This is the idea of many men, of course, including me!"
Li Ru turned his head and looked at Ye Zhao, not understanding what he wanted to express?
"But you are different!" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang and others, and his voice suddenly rose: "You have had countless opportunities to give up and live a more stable and prosperous life than you are now, but you use your blood and strength to tell me, tell the world that women can also take another path, even if this road is full of thorns and bumps, you can still do better than men."
"This grave is dedicated to the dead girls and also ruins your past." Ye Zhao pointed to the tombstone two feet high behind him, engraved with names, and said aloud: "Even if one day it is gone, I hope you will remember that there are military souls forged with your blood and life here. From today on, you will no longer be Beigong Wei. I, Ye Zhao, use my blood to give Ernifan!"
After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he pulled out Long Yuan from his waist, and stroked his palms, a blood line that ran across the palms. Blood gushed out and dripped on the tombstone. He looked at the female soldiers and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will live up to this name."
Five hundred female soldiers knelt all over the ground and shouted at Niefan.
An inexplicable sense of boiling flowed through Li Ru's body. He didn't know what happened at that moment, but at this moment, the more than 500 female soldiers in front of him had an unspeakable sense of sacredness. This was an army with military spirit and faith. Even though they were not many and were all composed of women, it did not hinder their strength.
"Get out!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, and amid the desolate horn, the tens of thousands of troops brought by Ye Zhao quickly formed a square formation and headed towards Hulao Pass.
"I hope that on the day Dong Xiang is in Luoyang, don't let this tombstone fall down." Ye Zhao looked at the tombstone in front of him and looked at Li Rudao beside him.
"This is something Ru can guarantee." Li Ru nodded and said, "Where is Ye Hou going?"
"Go back to Hanoi first!" Ye Zhao returned the Longyuan sword to sheath, and a military doctor stepped forward to help him bandage the wound.
"The prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, was the friend of Yuan Shao. Ye Hou brought so many people to him. I am afraid that Wang Kuang would be uneasy." Li Ru smiled and said that Ye Zhao's troops stationed in Hulao Pass and the troops brought by Ye Zhao from Luoyang were 27,000. There were so many people under the rule of so many people, I am afraid no one would be relieved.
"Wenyou will not worry about this." Ye Zhao looked at the bandaged palm, turned his head to look at Li Ru and smiled, "Wenyou is following me for three days, probably not just worried about Ye's future, right?"
"If Ye Hou is willing to give up his military power, with Ye Hou's ability, Prince Dong will not take you with him quickly!" Li Ru said with stern expression.
"I said that I will only stand on the side of the winner!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Ye Hou decided that my master would lose?" Li Ru said in confusion.
"I won't lose, but I will never win. Tell him to prepare early. Then Yuan Shao left. Even if an old Yuan Wei is in his hand, it will not be able to hinder the formation of the Guandong coalition. If I were Dong Zhuo, I should kill Yuan Wei first and shock some people, or use Yuan Wei as bait to lead some people out of the secret and then kill them." Ye Zhao said casually.
"It seems that Ye Houzhi is not here." Li Ru sighed, and when he said this, it was obvious that Ye Zhao had no intention of Dong Zhuo at all.
"It's true that it's not here, but it doesn't hinder your cooperation." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"How to cooperate?" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao after hearing this.
"If the princes of Kanto emerge together, I will join in the internal and Chinese intelligence and military deployment, I will reveal it to you." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Condition." Li Ru did not think Ye Zhao would do this for no reason.
"Borrow the way." Ye Zhao said calmly.
"Borrowing the way?" Li Ru's heart moved and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "What way?"
"At that time, you will know. When you tell you at this time, Dong Zhuo will have some bad ideas." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"It seems that the Marquis Ye has planned a place to establish himself and will borrow from Luoyang. Guanzhong and Yizhou are impossible. In this way, only Hanzhong and Nanyang will be left." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "Nanyang has Yuan Shu in charge. In this way, it seems that Hanzhong is the place where Longxing is, but it is also good."
"It's a good thing to be smart, but it's wrong to be smart. Don't let me have a life of Dong Zhuo's cooperation." Ye Zhao was not surprised that Li Ru could guess these things, but just turned his head to look at Li Rudao: "Don't force me to help the princes of Guandong. Hulao Pass is known as the number one pass in the world, but I have been here for a long time, and it's not difficult to break it!"
"Don't worry, this matter will be broken in the heart of Confucianism before the cooperation between us breaks down." Li Ru smiled.
"It's working with Dong Zhuo, not you." Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and smiled: "In addition, having an unspeakable secret to the Lord is the beginning of betrayal. I am looking forward to the day Wen You joins my command."
"I am looking forward to working with Ye Hou!" Li Ru smiled. The two of them seemed to be no different, but they meant two.
Ye Zhao and Li Ru smiled knowingly and left each other.
On the same day, Ye Zhao arrived at Hulao Pass and met with Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun and others who were guarding this place.
"Congratulations to the lord." Xi Zhicai smiled and connected Ye Zhao to Hulao Pass.
"No matter whether it is a blessing or a disaster, will the princes of Guandong be in trouble?" Ye Zhao shook his head and brought Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Ji Ling, Zhang Liao and others into the mansion together with Xi Zhicai.
"There is no big news, but the princes of Kanto have been recruiting troops during this period. I have calculated that at the latest next year, there will be a big event. What is needed is just an opportunity." Xi Zhicai's complexion seemed much better than before. At this moment, he sat next to Ye Zhao and briefly introduced the movements of the princes of Kanto over the past few days, especially the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
No matter how Ye Zhao doesn’t like Yuan Shu, now Yuan Shu, as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, is even more in Nanyang, and the resources in his hands can crush Yuan Shao. This period was Yuan Shu’s peak period!
More importantly, Nanyang is not far from Hanzhong, and it is also a great enemy of Ye Zhao in the future.
As for Yuan Shao, although he is famous now, the Bohai Sea is remote. Before Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he had some innate shortcomings in taking this place as the foundation.
"Manchong has recently received a lot of good news. The craftsmen sent by the lord have begun to make a lot of farm tools. There is another kind of... The lord mentioned has also made great achievements last year. The harvest in just one year is the sum of the past three years. If this can be done every year, Hanzhong alone will be enough to feed all the soldiers and horses under the lord's current tent." Xi Zhicai smiled.
Considering not destroying the ecology under the rule, it is already a miracle to be able to raise 30,000 soldiers and horses by Hanzhong alone.
"Not bad." Ye Zhao nodded.
Xi Zhicai said curiously: "But my subordinates are more curious. What kind of fertilizer is, and it has such a miraculous effect?"
Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai with a smile and said, "It's better not to say it, otherwise you will not be able to eat in the next few days."
"The lord doesn't want to say it, and it's not convenient for my subordinates to ask more questions. But I still want to congratulate you on your lord. The princess gave birth to a son for her two months ago, and the mother and son are safe." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"It's not new news, I've known it long ago!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Have you ever thought of a name for the young master?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"I thought a lot and it was hard to make a decision. I'll talk about it when I got back." When talking about his son, Ye Zhao had a very strange feeling. It was the first time he had descendants in two lives. That feeling was hard to say and excited, but it seemed not that strong. It was more of a feeling of being home-oriented, wanting to see what his first son looked like.
"Lord, the soldiers in Hulao Guanzhong have crossed the river from Aocang in batches and arrived in Huai County as the lord's instructions. Do we leave some people to guard this pass?" Ji Ling asked.
"No need." Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Retreat all."
He was not interested in fighting the front station for the Kanto Alliance.
