In the following days…
Since the imperial court did not urge Zhuge Mu to immediately take up his post in Xiliang, Zhuge Mu was quite happy.
He drank with Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Huang Zhong, Zhang Chong, and Wei Yan every day.
They were either attending a banquet invited by Cao Pi or Cao Cao.
He didn't know if it was his imagination…
Cao Pi looked at him more and more like he was looking at his brother-in-law.
Cao Cao's attitude towards him was like that of a son-in-law.
At the same time.
His military exploits in the north, as well as the rewards given to him by the imperial court.
During this time, with Xu Capital as the center, the news spread like wildfire.
……
Yongzhou.
Longxi County, Di Dao.
In County Governor Manor, an old man in a black brocade robe sat on the main seat.
He was about 50 to 60 years old, and his face was covered in a layer of darkness.
His eyes were slightly lowered, and when he occasionally raised them, his entire person would exude an indescribable coldness.
It was not anyone else.
It was Han Sui, the hero of Western Liang who had killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and the others.
Below Han Sui were the eight generals under his command, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, and Ma Wan.
"You guys say…"
"How should we deal with this Governor Yong Cong sent by the Imperial Court?”
Han Sui glanced at the generals in the field and said in a voice that was neither soft nor heavy.
"My lord, so what if it's Governor Yong Ke?”
"You were once appointed by the Imperial Court as the Western Conquering General!”
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't have bothered with him.”
"If he doesn't know what's good for him, we'll lead the army to destroy him.”
Ma Wan, one of the Eight Generals, spoke, not putting Zhuge Mu in his eyes at all.
Han Sui glanced at Ma Wan's words and then turned to the others.
"Do you think so too?"
Faced with Han Sui's question, Hou Xuan of the Eight Generals stood up.
"My lord, Western Liang can only belong to us Liangzhou people.”
"Even if Zhuge Mu was sent by the Imperial Court, if he wants to become the Governor of Yongling, he will have to see if the scimitars in our hands and the chiefs of the Qiang tribes in Yongling agree.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Han Sui's eyes when she heard even her right-hand man say this.
"Foolish!"
"If all of you have such thoughts, this old master might as well let you tie me up and escort me to Xudu!”
Han Sui shouted.
"It also saves me the trouble of watching you get beheaded by Zhuge Mu in the future, implicating me to die on the battlefield with you.”
"Pa!"
Han Sui slammed his palm on the table and threw the cloth recording Zhuge Mu's actions onto Hou Xuan's face.
"Think before you speak!”
"Don't be so foolish as to say such ignorant and arrogant words without knowing how terrifying the enemy you're facing is.”
Han Sui had great prestige among the Eight Generals.
Even if he reprimanded them like this, no one present dared to stand up and refute.
As Han Sui's trusted aide, Hou Xuan had a deep understanding of how terrifying this old man was.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his terrifying scheming could kill people without them noticing.
Hou Xuan silently picked up the cloth on the ground and carefully read the words on it according to Han Sui's instructions.
After several dozen breaths, the candidate who had finished reading the contents of the cloth fell silent.
Destroy the Xianbei.
The leader of the Xianbei tribe, Budugen, was beheaded.
He rushed thousands of miles to attack White Wolf Mountain.
The Wuhuan tribe was destroyed and Tadun died.
Zhuge Mu's various battle results appeared in his eyes, causing Hou Xuan to feel as if he was in a nightmare.
This was not the most terrifying part!
What was terrifying was that the person who had achieved such a terrifying result was actually a young general in his twenties.
At this moment, Hou Xuan realized how ridiculous and ignorant his words were.
So what if the chieftains of the Qiang tribes did not agree to the machete in his hand?
If it wasn't easy for them, Zhuge Mu would lead the army to kill them.
That way!
Isn't that the same as agreeing?
Taking a deep breath, Hou Xuan passed the cloth in his hand to Cheng Yin beside him.
Half an hour later.
When the Eight Generals finished reading the contents of the cloth, they realized how terrifying Zhuge Mu was. At this moment, they could not say anything arrogant.
Seeing this, Han Sui waved his hand weakly.
"Send someone to tell Jin City's Ma Shoucheng that I, Han Wenyue, intend to stop fighting with him!”
"A strong dragon wants to cross the river!"
"If that Ma Shoucheng continues to fight with me, Han Wenyue, no one will have an easy time.”
……
Liangzhou.
Gold City, County Governor Manor.
Ma Teng, who didn't know that Han Sui intended to make peace with him, heard the news from his subordinates.
He exclaimed repeatedly.
"Young hero! Young hero!"
"Meng Qi, Ling Ming, you might have an opponent in the future.”
Ma Teng raised his head and said to the two tall and mighty generals below.
"Father, why do you have to boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige!”
"Isn't it just destroying the Xianbei and Wuhuan!”
"I, Ma Mengqi, am also honored as the Divine Might Heavenly General by the Qiang Tribe!”
"Wherever the spear goes, none of the Qiang tribes dare to disobey!”
"If I were to lead the army to fight against him, he would definitely die under the Tiger Head Golden Spear in my hands.”
Ma Chao said.
Even after learning of Zhuge Mu's achievements, this Western Liang Jin Ma Chao did not show any fear.
On the contrary, the thought of going up against Zhuge Mu in the future ignited a fierce battle intent in his chest.
Ma Chao's performance made Ma Teng feel gratified." Hahaha, you're indeed my son.”
"But!"
"Meng Qi, there is no false reputation!”
"In the future, if you encounter that Zhuge Mu, you better be careful.”
However, Ma Teng and Ma Chao, who were talking on the field, did not notice…
Pang De and Pang Ling Ming, who were standing below, had a nostalgic look on their faces when they heard the name Zhuge Mu.
Zhuge Mu?
Could it be that young man who defeated me within ten moves?
If it was really him, Meng Qi would be in danger!
Raising his head, Pang De looked at Ma Chao's face, feeling a little worried.
……
Jingzhou, Xinye.
Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Ba sat in the room. The atmosphere was heavy.
Not for anything else!
It was because Zhuge Mu had defeated the Xianbei and destroyed the Wuhuan. He had succeeded in one battle and was given the title of Governor of Yongling, Governor of Liangzhou, and Marquis of Langya.
The shock it brought them was too great.
In the end, Zhuge Mu broke the silence and said to Liu Bei,""Now, does my lord still have any doubts?”
"With Zhuge Mu's help, the north was settled in one battle. Without any worries, Cao Cao will definitely lead his army south.”
"Life and death are right in front of us."
"My lord, if you still have a trace of reluctance to seize Jingzhou, then…"
"Once Cao Cao goes south, even with Liang and Zichu assisting you, you won't be able to turn the tide.”
PS: It's been so many years, but that doesn't mean that the protagonist hasn't done anything!!!! Pound was just one of the small side missions!
