The fishmonger was then called in.
He never expected that the young man inside was actually the most powerful person in the city.
The young general in white robes beside him was clearly not someone to be trifled with; his killing intent was palpable.
The other one was a Xianbei.
However, judging from his appearance, he is at least a tribal chief.
The two men were completely obedient to the fair-skinned young man, which made the fishmonger even more nervous.
"Your Majesty! I obey! Please don't kill me! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home..."
"I don't want this silver!"
Liu Wei never expected that the fishmonger would be so afraid of him.
"Brother, why would I kill you? I can see you're Han Chinese too. We're compatriots, and compatriots don't kill each other!"
Liu Wei gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He only had himself to blame for having no civil officials by his side. After conquering Shan, there was no successor, and all the Xiongnu officials in the city fled.
With a major war looming, Xue Rengui adopted a militarized management style, resulting in a complete lack of civil administration.
The fishmonger still looked unconvinced.
For decades, Dingxiang has been under the rule of the Xiongnu.
They turned right and wrong upside down, instilling in the local Han Chinese people the various evils of the Central Plains dynasty.
This caused the local Han Chinese to identify themselves as part of the Xiongnu people from birth.
They even forgot what kind of blood flowed in their veins!
"My friend, our Marquis is a prince of the current dynasty, the Marquis of Yinshan!"
"I was ordered to come to the borderlands to drive out the Xiongnu, restore Han territory, and unite the Han and Hu peoples as one family!"
"He wants to establish a new order at the foot of Yinshan Mountain!"
Xue Rengui was heavily influenced by Liu Wei, and he immediately quoted Liu Wei's core strategy for recovering the four counties of Shuofang.
If we're going to make the four counties of Yunzhong our own territory, we need to do it legitimately!
His propaganda slogan was "Expel the Xiongnu, restore Han lands, and unite the Han and Hu peoples as one family!"
Drive out the Xiongnu from this land and establish your own independent territory!
This place will become his base for advancing into the Central Plains in the future!
Clearly, this fishmonger only vaguely understood these profound principles.
But he was taken aback by the title of Marquis of Yinshan!
“I heard from passing merchants that a prince from Luoyang is coming to reclaim the four prefectures of Yunzhong.”
"Could it be...you are the Marquis of Yinshan? The Han prince who came from Luoyang to the borderlands?"
He said it almost in a trembling voice!
"That's right, he is our Marquis, the Marquis of Yinshan, a prince of the Han Dynasty!"
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, the fishmonger immediately bowed and said, "This humble commoner, Li Su, greets Your Excellency!"
Li Su?
Liu Wei was taken aback; the person's name sounded very familiar!
I remember now!
In the novel, Li Su appears when Dong Zhuo seizes power in the capital!
He presented the Red Hare horse to Lü Bu under the guise of being from the same hometown as Lü Bu, which led Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan and recognize Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father.
Another theory suggests that Li Su was a descendant of the Flying General Li Guang, and that he was as famous as Lü Bu among the generals under Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao also said that he had the courage of ten thousand men and was invincible.
He also conspired with Wang Yun and Lü Bu to kill Dong Zhuo.
However, Liu Wei was not sure if the fishmonger in front of him was Li Su, who was as famous as Lü Bu.
At this moment, Lü Bu was nowhere to be found, and it was not yet Dong Zhuo's turn to become the governor of Liangzhou.
All of this seems to be happening four or five years from now!
"Li Su? Was your ancestor Li Guang, the Flying General of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Wei tentatively asked a question.
The fishmonger was immediately moved to tears: "I never expected that the Marquis would know the name of my ancestor, the Flying General!"
Indeed, he was a descendant of Li Guang, so this person was undoubtedly Li Su.
The area around Yanmen, Mayi, and Dingxiang was the main battlefield where Li Guang fought his battles.
Although Li Guang was later transferred to Youbeiping as governor, it did not prevent him from leaving one or two descendants in Yanmen.
Moreover, Li Su was also born in Jiuyuan, the same hometown as Lü Bu.
It is likely that their ancestors lived in Jiuyuan County for many years.
As for why they continued to fish near Daihai Lake after arriving in Dingxiang, that remains unknown.
Besides, Li Su doesn't look like a descendant of the Flying General at all!
Not to mention that he later became as famous as Lü Bu under Dong Zhuo, possessing the courage to fight ten thousand men.
"The name of the Flying General is known to all; he is a great hero who fought against the Xiongnu!"
Liu Wei, with a solemn expression, bowed to the north with his hands clasped in respect.
I wonder if there's a Li Guang general template in the system shop.
If he had it, he wouldn't do anything but wait until he accumulated a million points to redeem it.
If they had Li Guang, it would be an absolute bloodline suppression for the Xiongnu!
When Xue Rengui and Liu Du heard that this person was actually a descendant of the Flying General Li Guang, they were immediately filled with awe.
Xue Rengui, in particular, idolized Li Guang in his archery skills!
The way he looked at the fishmonger suddenly changed.
"My lord!"
Li Su was deeply moved to see Liu Wei's high regard for his ancestors.
"Unfortunately, I am now just an ordinary farming family, and I have not been able to enjoy the glory of my ancestors!"
"I heard that the Xiongnu army is about to arrive here. Are they here to seek revenge on the Marquis?"
Liu Wei smiled faintly:
“That’s right, we killed Qiangqu Chanyu’s son, Yufuluo, otherwise how could we have conquered Shanwu!”
Upon hearing this, Li Su immediately bowed respectfully: "Your Excellency is truly righteous. When the Han people beyond the Great Wall learn of your actions, they will surely set up longevity tablets in their homes to worship you!"
"hehe!"
