Chapter 572: Donghu's Internal Affairs
Thorpe is just a stronger, smarter bug for Gao Yuan, and now he is not on the same level, there is no need to regard him as a main opponent, and when he is busy with this big thing in hand, he can take a break and pay attention to it, and when Donghu completes all the matters of centralization, gathers the strength of the whole country, and extinguishes Gao Yuan is just a matter of turning over his hands, he knows that Gao Yuan sent people to enter the Hetao Plain and start to build a city and Tuntian, and he doesn't care, and even thinks that let Gao Yuan flutter for a while, when the army comes out, You can pick up the cheapest.
Thorpe thinks so, but Huo Tianliang doesn't think so, he knows Gao Yuan very well, and knows that this person is a character who can dazzle your eyes as long as he is given a little sunshine.
Therefore, after he learned that Gao Yuan's troops were stationed in the Hetao Plain, he immediately asked to see Thorpe, wanting to be bitter, and took advantage of the fact that Gao Yuan had not yet gained a foothold in the Hetao Plain, and drove him out first.
Huo Tianliang has undergone great changes, but now he seems to have changed as a person, and he has to be valued by Thorpe, and he became an official in Donghu Zheng'er, and he is counting on Donghu to conquer Yan after becoming strong, and kill his enemies one by one, so he naturally does his best. He was also smart, but he was spoiled by his parents since he was a child, so he created a sewn, but after the family tragedy, he naturally grew up, and now he has the smuggling route to Yan Country in his hands. has been honed for a long time, and with Huo Tianliang's current eight-sided and exquisite temperament, he is naturally like a fish in water.
"Your Majesty, this man will be expelled while he is not yet on a firm foothold. Otherwise, when he gets a foothold, it will be difficult to say. Kneeling in front of Thorpe, Huo Tianliang was in great pain, and in order to make Thorpe pay more attention, he even did not hesitate to exaggerate the other party's skills a little more.
To his disappointment, though, Thorpe didn't seem to care much.
"Huo Qing, I heard that you and Gao Yuan have a hatred for destroying the family, and you were killed all over the house, although it was not this person, but it really started because of this person. Is there an inseparable relationship with this person? Thorpe asked.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are now the king's ministers, what you think, naturally dedicated to the strength of Donghu, the destruction of the subordinate clan is related to Gao Yuan, and the minister is naturally eager to cut this person down, but it is a matter of state affairs, how dare the minister joke about this, it is really this Gao Yuan. Don't take it lightly. The Eastern Army is now stationed in the Hetao Plain, and once they are full-fledged, it will be difficult to drive out our army. He's not good at siege! In order to escape the pursuit, Huo Tianliang slashed his face a few times, but he was a little anxious at this time, and the scar on his face looked even more hideous. In the Central Plains countries, such a person with bad physical appearance is afraid that he will not be able to enter the court as an official at all. But Donghu does not have this kind of exquisiteness, Donghu people are killed every day, that is, between each other in the clan, and often white knives go in and red knives come out, there are not a few people with injuries on their faces, but they don't value this, but because of this person's ruthlessness, they appreciate it a little more, not everyone has the courage to knife themselves.
"Aren't we training foot soldiers with the help of Qi now, when the time is ripe, we can use them to test their combat effectiveness, if we can't even take those simple small cities that Gao Yuan is stationed in Hetaoping, how can we have the ability to go west?" Thorpe smiled: "You are also in charge of this, how is it going now, but there are some results?" ”
Huo Tianliang bowed and said: "The king doesn't ask about this, I also want to tell you that the first batch of 10,000 slaves selected is only half in place now, but formal training has begun, and those Qi officers are also doing their best, looking at us is not perfunctory." Becoming an army in March, having combat power in one year, and becoming an elite in three to five years, this is what those Qi officers said to their subordinates. ”
Thorpe frowned, "Why is it only half in place?" ”
Huo Tianliang's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, the current change is still in progress, and slaves are still the private property of various ministries, and it is not easy to find people from them." ”
"They won't?" Thorpe's face turned cold, it seemed that some people didn't remember to eat or eat, and they didn't clean up for a few days, so they began to kick their noses and eyes again.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that most of the people who are sent over are old and weak, not to mention that these people are going into battle, I'm afraid that they will lose their lives on the training ground, and they are really a little unbearable, so they can only retreat, if it weren't for Wusu, Tieling, and Agu, the patriarchs of several tribes know the righteousness, but I'm afraid that even five thousand people can't get together."
Thorpe nodded, "I will let Yan Qi deal with this matter, you just keep an eye on the Qi officers, don't let them hide their secrets, I Donghu people are invincible in the world, and I don't understand the infantry at all, but I am indeed not proficient." "Wusu Department, Tieling Department, one is his wife's mother's family, the other is his own hardcore henchman, it is not surprising to support it, but I didn't expect Agu Huaien of the Agu Department to have such eyes, it seems that Lao Wang's thunder back then made them afraid, since he sincerely wanted to vote over, he can also raise Agu Huaien.
"Your Majesty understands."
"It's too slow to become an elite in just three to five years!" Thorpe pondered for a moment and said, "Sue those Qi officers, in a year, a year, I want these foot soldiers to be able to fight, at least not worse than the standing army of Yan State." If there are casualties in training, we should not be tight, but we should be more severe, and some casualties may be able to promote the growth of the army. ”
"Yes, the ministers will talk to those Qi officers."
"How's that business with the Central Plains?" Thorpe moved on to another topic, "I also know that infantry combat, well-equipped, can greatly improve combat capabilities, but those things are indispensable. ”
"From the Qi people, we have received a great supplement, that is, from the Yan Kingdom, the purchase volume has also increased greatly in the past few months, but the Yan Kingdom has been destroying us to send troops to Liaoxi. Said that as long as we send troops, their shipments can be increased, and the price can be negotiated. ”
Thorpe laughed, "Tan Feng is really a thief, and he wants to use this little profit to drive me to charge for him, Gao Yuan has to clean it up, but he has to wait until the matter at hand is done." Huo Qing, you are a bargaining expert, so you will hook them and try to get as many things as possible. After those masters of Qi come here, we can finally smelt by ourselves, when it comes to iron ore, don't I have Donghu, but the smelting technology is not good, so the yield is low, with these masters, it won't take long for us to be self-sufficient, that is, to survive the past two years of hard work. ”
"The king."
"Okay, you work hard, I see it in my eyes, but you can rest assured, do things for me, pay according to merit, and you will definitely not let you be wronged, nor will you end up being killed like your father." Thorpe waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bowing down and exiting the room, Huo Tianliang breathed a sigh of relief, now he is extremely trusted, and Thorpe has also promised him that when this major event is over, he will give him a high-ranking official and a lord, compared to being like a street rat in Yan Kingdom, now he is in Donghu, which can be regarded as a spring breeze, and he has long regarded this place as his life's work, that is, he is a woman he married, and he is also a Donghu woman, just to show loyalty to Thorpe. The stronger Donghu is, the more proud he is, but when he thinks of the lofty loftiness of Liaoxi, still on the side of the couch, he can't help but feel a little uncertain.
When he was helping the wind, he was not proud of the spring breeze, but after meeting this person, he ended up with a broken family. didn't say that Thorpe would go to deal with Gao Yuan immediately, and he was really disappointed.
Inside, after Huo Tianliang left, Thorpe turned his head to look at Yan Qi, who had been silent beside him, "General Yan, from tomorrow, you will go to beat some people and train foot soldiers, this is an important matter of the country, dare to have those who are in the way of this, I will not hesitate to let them go to the king of Yama to eat."
"Yes." Yan Qi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Thorpe, "Huo Tianliang, this person, has betrayed several times, and his temperament is despicable, please pay attention to the king."
Thorpe smiled slightly, "I use his talents, the people of the Central Plains have a saying, the water is clear, there is no fishing, and the people are inspected, there is no fugitive, as long as he is loyal to me to do things, it doesn't hurt to have a worse temperament. What's more, this person is probably only our life-saving straw now, he will hold on to it, by the way, I told Lu Tu to find some talented people in the Central Plains to come to me as an official, can he do it seriously? I know he's a little dissatisfied, and I'm worried that he won't be able to do his job!"
Yan Qi and Tulu are the henchmen of Lao Wang, and they are also strong supporters of Thorpe's accession to the throne, in terms of age, on friendship with Lao Wang, but Thorpe's elders, talking to them, Thorpe is also very casual.
Yan Qi shook his head and said: "How can Tulu deal with the things ordered by the king at will, of course he is doing it seriously, but you also know that in the Central Plains, those who really have the ability are prejudiced against us, thinking that we are barbarians, and they are willing to serve us, and those who have no ability are useless when they come."
In fact, Yan Qi was also a little dissatisfied with this, Thorpe wanted to find some Central Plains scholars to come to Donghu to serve as officials, didn't this mean that there was no one in Donghu?
"General Yan, you don't need to be dissatisfied, my Donghu people have the advantages of Donghu people, they have their strengths, I use them, just to take their talents, is it possible that I can still get close to them and surpass you? Besides, the Central Plains is vast, and there are many capable people, among them, I don't know how many undesirable people and how many suppressed people? Not to mention anything else, this Huo Tianliang is very capable, he has a reputation before, and the lofty strategist Jiang Jiaquan has disappeared for decades, once he comes out of the mountain, he will immediately become famous all over the world, such a capable person, as long as he is willing to come to my Donghu, I should be rewarded in a high position, as long as this meaning is preached, I believe that there will be ambitious people to come to us."
