Chapter 250 King of Xia

In the guest room of the Marquis' Mansion, Dai Licheng was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. He looked here and touched it, and was very unfamiliar with everything and was very curious about everything. Many of the furniture in the room were made by Han Zhongwei according to the memories of later generations, such as wardrobes, sofas, etc. When Dai Licheng sat on the bed to rest, the bed suddenly fell part of it, which scared him so much that he almost thought he was ambushed.

He quickly stood up and took the mat on the bed away, and soon found the reason. It turned out that the bed was indeed very elastic. This might be the soft bed called Simmons given to the emperor by the Marquis.

Since learning that Han Zhongwei had known his purpose in advance, Dai Licheng has been glad that this time it was a wise move to come to Heicheng. Before his own people came to the north, the Marquis knew what he did. Who would be enemies with such a person, I'm afraid he would have nightmares every night?

No wonder the emperor was not energetic and looked listless during this period. So that's it.

After putting down his psychological burden, Dai Licheng slept very well and sweetly. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. He was a guest at the Marquis' Mansion, of course he did not dare to be rude. It was a great grace for the Marquis to let him live in the mansion. If he still didn't know how to advance or retreat, it would be hopeless.

Dai Licheng had just dressed neatly, and a maid immediately brought a towel and basin. In addition, there was a cup with a stick that he didn't know.

"What is this?" Dai Licheng asked.

"Sir, this is a toothbrush, used to clean teeth," the maid introduced.

In addition to toothbrush and not home toothpaste, of course, it was also invented by Han Zhongwei. The maid introduced the use of toothbrush and toothpaste, and Dai Licheng would use it soon. But what surprised him was that the maid led him to a "secret room" in the room that he had not discovered before, and asked him to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Of course this is the bathroom. Dai Licheng has never lived in Heicheng Hotel, so there is no concept of a bathroom. And when he knew that he lived on the third floor, he might have urinated and defecated directly in this secret room, he was very surprised.

What’s even more surprising is that there is still living water in the secret room. There is a mechanism on a copper tube as thick as a thumb. With a light push, the pipe mouth will automatically flow out of clean water. When it is pushed back, the water will stop. This made Dai Licheng very surprised. He lives on the third floor. How could water flow in at such a high place?

In order to use tap water, Han Zhongwei took great pains to specially make two water trucks to supply water to the water tower on the roof regularly every day.

After Dai Licheng brushed his teeth and washed his face, he felt that he was not as refreshed as usual, but was drowsy as if he hadn't had enough sleep. Unfortunately, he was looking for a room pot everywhere last night, but later he couldn't find it and kept it in for a night. It turned out that there was a toilet in this room.

"This sister, the marquis should be upstairs, why have we gone downstairs?" Dai Licheng couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Dai, the Marquis is not upstairs at this time, he is in the martial arts training ground in the backyard." The maid who led the way in front smiled.

The Marquis still goes to the martial arts training ground every day? This is the first time Dai Licheng has heard of this. Although Han Zhongwei is in charge of the army, he has never heard of him being able to fight.

After arriving at the martial arts training ground, Dai Licheng knew how bad his idea was. At this time, Han Zhongwei was holding a long sword in his hand and was dancing there. The so-called expert knew whether he had it or not. With Dai Licheng's eyesight, of course, it could be seen that the Marquis' strength was very terrifying. Even if he was the deputy commander of the Proton Army, the three of them were probably not Han Zhongwei's opponents.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Han Zhongwei stopped. At this time, the sword in his hand had become soft because he did not inject his internal strength again. Dai Licheng was even more surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the Marquis was holding a soft sword. It seemed that his evaluation of him had to be increased by another level.

This soft sword was sold to him by He San when Han Zhongwei was in Lin'an. It only cost a few cents of money. Since he bought it, it has been used as a decoration by Han Zhongwei. Until last year, he grew up. Once after practicing the sword with Li Xiongba, he put the sword around his waist. Unexpectedly, it was quite fit. This soft sword could have been used as a belt, and there was a mechanism on the handle that could just jamm the tip of the sword. It was also very simple to remove it. Just press it on the handle and you can pull it out immediately.

"I didn't expect that the Marquis was both civil and military, and the villain was really ashamed of himself." Dai Licheng's words were not completely flattering. After seeing Han Zhongwei's performance just now, he believed that he was definitely not his opponent.

"Let Commander Dai laugh." Han Zhongwei smiled, took the towel sent by the maid next to him, wiped it a few randomly on his face, and then took Dai Licheng to the seat next to him.

"The Marquis is too humble." Dai Licheng smiled.

"Licheng, I am very pleased that you can come here this time. I wonder what you will think in the future?" Han Zhongwei sat down, stretched out his hand and let Dai Licheng sit down next to him.

"Everything is only followed by the leader of the marquis." Dai Licheng was originally just half of his butt was tied to the chair. When he heard the marquis inquiring, he immediately stood up and bowed and said.

"What if I ask you to return to Zhongxing Prefecture and become the deputy commander of the Proton Army?" Han Zhongwei raised his hand, pressed down slightly, and signaled Dai Licheng to sit down and speak.

"I... I listened to the Marquis." Although Dai Licheng was surprised, he hesitated and immediately said unwaveringly.

"Okay, you came to the north with a mission this time. After returning to Zhongxing Mansion, just tell Li An that everything goes well." Of course, Han Zhongwei would not let Dai Licheng go back like this. Since Li An wants to deal with him, it is that he is unkind. I believe that no one will say anything if he does that injustice in the future.

"But..." Dai Licheng didn't care whether Li An was the only source of information. If he secretly sent others to the north, this would be impossible to hide it no matter how it was.

"Don't worry, the north will soon be in chaos, and the Mongols will also invade my border." Han Zhongwei said immediately as if he had seen through Dai Licheng's thoughts.

"Mr. Marquis, it's not worth doing this for the sake of the villain..." Dai Licheng quickly stood up and said.

"I originally intended to abolish all tribal systems in my jurisdiction. All tribal leaders, including their families, must live in the city, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy." Han Zhongwei had actually had such a plan. Since Li An asked those leaders to cause trouble for himself this time, he could take this opportunity to clean up them.

"It turns out that everything is under the control of the Marquis." Dai Licheng showed admiration.

"It's still a hard time for you. According to Li An's original plan, you will persuade the leaders of the tribe below to turmoil. As long as they dare to move, I will dare to destroy them." Han Zhongwei said coldly. Dai Licheng is now a touchstone. Those who agree to fight will become ghosts under the knife, and those who refuse him will be invited to live in the city. Han Zhongwei can protect them from their glory and wealth for a lifetime.

"Being able to serve the marquis is a blessing that the villain has only cultivated for many lifetimes." Dai Licheng has now completely regarded Han Zhongwei as his new master. Compared with Han Zhongwei and Li An, he is also Li An. Now, there is a huge difference in his wisdom, martial arts and strategy. Although Li An is the king of a country now, he can't even move Han Zhongwei's first frustration. If Han Zhongwei wants to deal with Li An, he can play with him at any time.

After leaving Heicheng, Dai Licheng immediately went to the Yeli tribe, which was the largest tribe in Heicheng. When he revealed his identity, the tribe leader Li Yong immediately treated him as an above-mentioned guest. However, when Dai Licheng told the emperor about his intentions and asked them to cause trouble to Heicheng Hou Han Zhongwei and even rose up, Li Yong remained silent at that time.

Li Yong has seen the combat effectiveness of the Black City Guard. Not to mention that the guard is well-trained, even if it is a group of mobs, as long as he can have the sharp firearms as the Marquis, no matter how many people he has, he will be killed. Therefore, in Li Yong's heart, he has long been respectful of Han Zhongwei. He dared to resist Li An's orders, but now he will never dare to sing a stage drama with Han Zhongwei.

"Why, Brother Li doesn't believe me?" Dai Licheng held the jade pendant rewarded by Li An. The jade pendant has not been registered yet. In other words, it can be regarded as Li An's token or a reward. This depends on Dai Licheng's ability to do things.

"I dare not, but this matter is really difficult. Heicheng is now the fief of Kehou. If our tribes dare to make trouble, the marquis will send troops to suppress the marquis and oppose the marquis. My Yeli tribe asked himself that he did not have the strength or the courage. Please ask Gao Ming." Li Yong had to tell the truth. If this reached the marquis' ears, he would be angry and might be in a state of doom.

"So Chief Li is following the Marquis with one mind?" Dai Licheng sneered.

"Mr. Dai, you are a guest from afar and a person around the emperor. I am very polite to you. If you dare to disrespect the Marquis again, don't blame me for not warning you in advance." Li Yong would not be afraid of Dai Licheng's threat. Now the Black City belongs to Han Zhongwei. Li Yong even had a foreshadowing that it is not certain whether the Marquis can allow the Yeli tribe to exist in the future. At this time, go to the stage show against the Marquis. Only those who are full will do such stupid things.

Although Dai Licheng left the Yeli tribe in a mess, he was not depressed at all. On the contrary, he was very happy. It can be seen that Li Yong's Yeli tribe truly supported Han Zhongwei, whether it was because of his fear of Han Zhongwei or being tempted by Han Zhongwei, in short, Black City has now become Han Zhongwei's strongest fortress.

In the Hei Shui Tribe and the Heishan Tribe, Dai Licheng was treated similarly to the Yeli Tribe, and Tuo Paosong's attitude was exactly the same as that of Li Yong. In these two tribes, Dai Licheng could fully feel their fear of Han Zhongwei. It might be possible to make them oppose Li An, but it would be absolutely impossible to make them oppose Han Zhongwei.

This further strengthened Dai Licheng's determination. It was too wise to subconsciously come to Heicheng to meet Han Zhongwei this time. Although Li An had a recreation of his kindness to him, he was mean and selfish, and he destroyed bridges when crossing the river. He had the lessons of his uncle. He would no longer be foolish and loyal to him.

After leaving Heicheng, Dai Licheng traveled all the way to Heishui, Xiping and other states. Along the way, he visited all the leaders of all tribes. Perhaps these tribes had just been included in Han Zhongwei's rule, or perhaps Han Zhongwei's policies touched too much of their interests, Dai Licheng finally persuaded some tribe leaders.

There are more than 60 tribes of all sizes in the seven northern states, and as many as 20 tribes were told by Dai Licheng with a silence. Other tribes either dare not openly oppose Han Zhongwei, or are worried about Dai Licheng's sincerity. With just a piece of jade pendant, they will hand over the life and death of the entire tribe to him. They are not that stupid.

But there are twenty tribes that are enough, at least Dai Licheng can go back and serve Li An. As for the yin* Mongols attack, Dai Licheng also asked the leaders of these tribes. Dai Licheng had never dealt with the Mongols directly, and there was not even a person to introduce them, so it was impossible to touch them. But these tribes were not the case. They could be said to be neighbors of the Mongols, and lived together on this prairie for hundreds of years. It was much more certain to let them contact each other than Dai Licheng himself.

This time Dai Licheng completed the task successfully. He persuaded him to ask the Mongols to cooperate, and he cooperated inside and outside to annihilate Han Zhongwei. As soon as Dai Licheng left the seven northern states, the turmoil had already begun.

One-third of the tribes under their rule opposed Han Zhongwei's rule, and they formed an alliance and decided to advance and retreat together. Even if they could not defeat Han Zhongwei this time, they could not suffer any losses in the future.

The Mongolians seemed to have a smooth talk. As Dai Licheng arrived in Baima City, the incident of the Mongols' attack was already circulating, and I'm afraid the whole world knew it. Therefore, when Dai Licheng returned to Zhongxing Mansion, the excited Li An actually waited for him at the entrance of the hall. When Dai Licheng arrived, Li An personally supported Dai Licheng's hand and asked him to sit next to him.

If such grace was changed to the past, Dai Licheng would not be moved to tears? But now his tears were squeezed out. If Li An was more careful, he would definitely find a piece of ginger hidden in Dai Licheng's sleeve.

"Licheng, this time Han Zhongwei has been unable to take care of himself. You have made great contributions. Just speak up if you want any reward." Li An was very happy. He had known about the news from the seven northern states.

"All of this is the result of the emperor's clever plan and strategic plan. The villain just ran away errands." Dai Licheng said modestly.

Not taking credit or being arrogant makes Li An even more respectful of Dai Licheng.

"You don't take credit, but I still have to reward you. This way, the commander of the Captain of the Shengsheng Army must be replaced. I think Li Shizhen will be taken over. You will take over the commander of the Proton Army. How about it?" Li An thought for a while and said. Originally, the Captain of the Shengsheng Army was controlled by Li Zongshan, the confidant of the father, but after his father passed away, Li Chunyou took over the power of the Captain of the Shengsheng Army. Now he is in power, and the commander of the Captain of the Shengsheng Army must be replaced by someone he absolutely trusts. As for Li Zongshan, if he knows the situation, he will give him a chance, otherwise, he will be allowed to go home to retire at any time.

Dai Licheng didn't expect that he would be promoted again this time. After joining Han Zhongwei, he would not only be valued by him, but also be valued by Li An, and it would be much more convenient to help the Marquis in the future. Dai Licheng also felt a little sad for Li An. With such a method, he wanted to fight with the Marquis. He really didn't know how to live or die.

Li Shizhen was very happy to be the commander of the Sheng Army. Not to mention that he had more subordinates than twenty times, his rank alone was promoted to two levels because of the glory of Dai Licheng. Therefore, Li Shi did not complain about Dai Licheng's position, and even enthusiastically introduced his confidant subordinates to Dai Licheng.

Li Shizhen did not expect that his introduction would not be too tight, but he saved Dai Licheng a lot of effort. These people soon became the targets of cleaning after Li Shizhen left. If Li Shizhen did not introduce them, they would probably be able to stay in their original seat for a while.

Li An is now full of confidence and internal and external troubles in the north. Although Han Zhongwei has 150,000 troops, the border he needs to defend is too long. The Mongols' attack is very sharp. As long as they can break through a city, they can ask Han Zhongwei to leave Daxia in a noble way. From then on, the entire Daxia will belong to him. I feel excited to think about this.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's plan was successful, Li Ann had not turned over the signs of other concubines for several days. He had a private meeting with Queen Mother Luo through a secret passage every night. Because he was in a good mood, he could kill Empress Dowager Luo every time.

But just ten days later, the news from the north was worse than the other. First, the civil strife was digested by Han Zhongwei. The twenty tribes were killed by the twenty regiments sent by Han Zhongwei and almost remained. Even if they escaped by chance, they could only become slaves from then on.

Therefore, in the battle, Han Zhongwei took the livestock and land of the twenty tribes for himself, and did not even say hello to Li An. At this time, even if Han Zhongwei did not get the news in advance, he could get everything he wanted from the leaders of the tribe.

Li An couldn't accept this blow at once. He didn't expect Han Zhongwei to use Daxia's troops to destroy Daxia's tribe. You must know that among the soldiers sent by Han Zhongwei this time, some of them were even the original soldiers of those tribes. It was just because they joined the army, and all their families moved into the city according to the welfare policy. It was such people that they could actually dare to take this action by their original compatriots, which was what made Li An most uneasy. Because this means that Han Zhongwei had completely controlled the overall situation of the seven northern states. Where, the local people only knew him, Han Zhongwei and who Li An were.

The subsequent demise of the Mongols completely lost a glimmer of hope. There were more than a dozen Mongols who invaded the north this time, but no Mongols could take advantage of the slightest advantage. Not to mention siege, they were blown up by landmines before they even got close to the city. All their fighting spirits were destroyed at that time. The guards sent troops to chase after them, which was called killing them so happily, chasing the Mongols all over the ground, crying for their parents, for fear of having two less legs.
