General Wuwei's Mansion consulted to join the army, and he was a subordinate under Xin Er's account, in fact, he could get rid of it by himself, and the reason why there was an additional procedure for Fu Qiao's recommendation was because Xin Er knew that Song Pian Bacheng would not accept his appointment, so he simply ordered it directly by the imperial court, so that he could not resign. Of course, it can also be excused, but except for Song Pianshe, who doesn't do it, he would rather be idle at home.

Xin Er knows Song Pian, with his greedy nature, let him leave the officialdom and lose an important source of money, which is obviously very difficult. As Xin Er expected, after receiving the order of the imperial court, Song Pian scolded Xin Er's mother for a long time, but in the end he obediently took the position, sent the old money, and looted a lot in Jiankang, and the assets were loaded with dozens of carts, and they all came.

Song Pian is still in the capital, it is already more than a month later, and there is no need to mention it early.

only said that Xin Er's request for "recruitment", although the Song side habitually expressed opposition, but in the end, it was approved in the court.

This ending is also expected by Xin Er.

Before the book, Yang Chao, Zhang Gui, Huang Rong, Yang Fu and others had repeatedly speculated.

The conclusion is the same: the princes of the court, Song Hong, Pan Kuan, Zhang Hun, and even Lu Shuang, I am afraid that they all want to see Xin Er leave the royal capital. Because only when Xin Er leaves, they can have ample opportunities to weaken Zuo's trust in Xin Er as much as possible.

In addition, Xin Er is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and is very clear about the military situation in the country, and the "reasons for recruiting troops" he listed in the above book are also quite sufficient, reasonable and well-founded, and they are by no means credible, and they are indeed difficult to refute. - Is it necessary to conquer the Western Regions? There is a big farmer Sun Yan who is in charge of finance, if it is not necessary, it has become a must.

Since the above letter suggested "amnesty", Xin Er's several petitions were all planned and then moved, first carefully discussed with Yang Chao and other wise people, and then looked at the situation, and then suggested that it should be played, each time it was to take advantage of the situation, and often could get the consent of most important ministers; In fact, except for the article "the prohibition of opening mountains and gardens", which could not be implemented because it violated the interests of the scholars too much, all the others were implemented.

Xin Er is not greedy, he knows that military power is a sensitive topic, and he does not have too high requirements for the number of soldiers to be recruited, but only asks for "3,000 soldiers". After obtaining the permission of the imperial court, he handed over the important task of recruiting troops to the right Sima Tang Ai of the governor's mansion and the middle and direct soldiers to join the army.

He wanted to preside over it personally, but the wedding date was approaching, and he couldn't get married soon, and he went down to the barracks all day long, and everything would be passed on, and people would inevitably gossip about it, thinking that he didn't attach importance to the marriage with the royal family. The face always has to be pretended.

However, on this day, on the fourth day after the recruitment began, Xin Er still went out of the city and came to the vicinity of Xiyuan City, where the headquarters barracks were located.

At the same time as the letter requesting recruitment, Xin Er also asked the central government to transfer the Kojiqiu consulate to assist Longxi in response to the "promotion" of the Song side. Koji Qiu is an excellent soldier, and Song Pian can not be compared with the kind of tired goods, the day he received the order, he assembled to complete the part, the next day, that is, set off to the east, but three days, has arrived in the royal capital.

Xin Er went out of the city today to meet him.

Because Koji Qiu had no intention of staying in the royal capital, this trip out of the city was also to see him off.

Lu Shuang and Xin Er went out of the city together, the two waited for a while on the official road outside Xiyuan City, and saw the dust flying from a distance, and after a while, the red flag jumped into view, and then, a marching array composed of thousands of Hu horsemen appeared in the west.

Thousands of horses, each of them two horses, although it is a marching queue, the speed is not fast, but the scene of nearly 10,000 horses galloping is still spectacular.

But see: on the spacious rammed earth road, the flags are like forests, the armor is shining brightly, the troops are stretching for more than ten miles, the war horses in front are like dragons, the baggage behind is hundreds of times, and the sand and dust rolled up are like clouds. The neighing of horses, the orders of the officers to reorganize their ranks along the way, and the voices of the soldiers shouting promises and directing their mounts, were mixed together, one after another, and the noise and excitement warmed up the weather in early spring.

Koji ball got the forward's report, left the Chinese army in a hurry, and rushed over to meet Xin Er and Koji Shuang.

Xin Er saw him at a glance.

Koji Ball rode an eight-foot-tall white horse, without armor, with a white scarf wrapped around his head, dressed in a red hakama, a saddle with a double-carved bow, a straight knife with a black head hanging from his waist, and a straight sword with a straight chest and reins, urging him to ride from the aisle next to the procession, galloping with a heroic posture that was very different from others.

Behind him, Xin Er also saw several acquaintances such as Qu Nanhu's father and son, Bing Bo, and twenty or thirty Hu knights with pigtails.

Xin Er sincerely sighed to Lu Shuang and said: "Lieutenant, there is a tiger in the public house!" ”

Koji Shuang stroked his beard and said: "The younger generation of my family, there are many tigers, and if you are a girl, you should be especially good!" ”

The nickname of koji ball, every time Xin Er hears it, he is a little unaccustomed.

is obviously a good man, but his nickname is like this, which is really too contrasting.

The koji ball galloped forward, turned over and dismounted, saluted and said, "How dare Lao father and the general greet each other!" ”

Xin Er smiled silently, and politely courteously gave Lu Shuang according to the difference between relatives and relatives, and waited for him to speak first.

Koji Shuang and Koji Qiu are a family, and they are the elders of Koji Qiu, they spoke very casually, and said with a smile: "You play for the country, and it is okay for me to welcome you." He glanced at Xin Er and said to Kojiqiu, "Mingzong, in the letter you wrote to me last time, you said that your part has already been practiced, and the letter is nothing more than the intention of seeking war. This time you can get what you want, you need to thank Xin Wuwei a lot. Thanks to his recommendation, you have a place to use. ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "As the lieutenant said, Mingzong is fighting for the country, and my move Mingzong is also for the country, how can I thank you?" ”

Koji Qiu still made a military salute to Xin Er in a dignified manner, and said: "Please rest assured, the general will not be dishonored when he arrives in Longxi!" We will not let the general get the bad reputation of 'knowing no one and not knowing anyone'! ”

Xin Er didn't take it seriously, replied with a half-salute, and said with a smile: "Qing's talent, I know it." I will not get the bad reputation of 'knowing people', and I will not get the bad reputation of 'knowing people', and I think that in the near future, the people of the court and the opposition will only praise me as 'wise and virtuous'! ”

Koji Ball and Xin Er smiled affectionately at each other.

Zhi Beyan and the Hu warriors who gave a few koji balls to Xin Er followed Xin Er and came together, and each of them bowed to meet the former Shangguan of Koji Qiu.

Koji Qiu looked at the faces of a few of them, and said to Xin Er with a smile: "Wang Du is different from my wasteland and wilderness, when they follow me, they all have vegetables, and they are about to fall when the wind blows, and the fat and strong body are full of energy, it is like a different person!" ”

Xin Er laughed.

After chatting for a long time, Xin Er talked about the military and said: "Mingzong, Ran Xingguo is small, infighting is frequent, after Ran is invincible, the puppet masters of the past dynasties are short-sighted, and even the dogs who guard the household can not be called. It made an alliance with Pu Qin, which was nothing more than an expedient measure, and I estimate that it would not be willing to give Pu Qin his life and help Pu Qin attack Longxi.

"The terrain of Longxi is critical, and Pu Qin will not sit idly by and watch it as my occupation, but Pu Maocai usurped the throne, the country is unstable, and there are two ends of Zhao Yan Lishou Rat in the north, in my estimation, it may at most hit a dozen Longxi, but it will not invest too many troops.

"After you arrive in Longxi, you are not required to have military exploits, and you don't have to rush to conquer the city, just defend several counties, which is a great achievement."

Koji Qiu knew that Xin Er was preparing to conquer the Western Regions, and during this period, it was better for Longxi not to have a major war, otherwise, once Longxi was in flames of war, the matter of conquering the Western Regions could only be postponed. He replied solemnly: "Yes! ”

Lu Shuang glanced at Xin Er, and thought in his heart: "If you want to fight the Western Regions, of course you are not happy to see the battle in Longxi." It's just that I don't understand your thoughts, why do you want to go to the Western Regions if you don't stay in the middle of the court? If it is for the sake of military merit, wouldn't it be better to fight Rouran, Ran Xing, and Qin with heavy authority? The Western Regions are thousands of miles away, and you are leaving the dynasty, but you are facing the hearts of Lao Song and Lao Yan! ”

The persimmon is picked and pinched softly, how can Rouran, Ran Xing, and Pu Qin be so easy to beat? It is to take advantage of the civil strife in Puqin and Rouran to lay a little ground, because they do not have the strength to destroy the country, they will inevitably fall into a tug-of-war in the future, which will only cause the consequence of depleting national strength.

Xin Er doesn't pay attention to the immediate benefits, he is doing an overall plan, and he will not move these countries until he is sure enough.

Koji Shuang told Koji Qiu and said, "After arriving in Longxi, the first thing you have to do is to send a letter to your father immediately. Whatever my brother commands, you must do as it is. ”

Xin Er touched Koji Shuang's words, and said in his heart: "I told Mingzong not to fight, you told Mingzong to listen to the orders of the Marquis of Koji, the old koji ......, no, the little koji ......, it's not right, what you said in the koji will lose my face in person!" ”

I think about it in my heart, I know that my family is now on an equal footing with Koji Shuang, or strictly speaking, if you compare it with the family reputation, clan power, and old generals, it is not as good as Koji Shuang, and the other Koji Shuang will not take care of your face, and he is not angry.

Koji's expression remained unchanged, as if he had the same answer to Xin Er, he also responded: "Yes." ”

Xin Er ordered Zhi Beyan to wait for the banquet to be set up, and invited Koji Shuang and Koji Qiu to sit down.

The soldiers and horses marched on the road, and the people in the grass laughed and talked.

Replace wine with tea and feast.

With enough water and food, Koji Qiu got up and said, "Father, general, please go back to the city!" The ball is in Longxi for a day, and Longxi is as safe as Mount Tai! ”

Koji Shuang encouraged him and said, "Do it well!" If you can make military achievements, I will write to the court and move a general for you to do! ”

Xin Er clapped his hands and said: "There is a Qing in Longxi, and my heart is also at peace!" ”

Back in the city, Liu Zhuang reported that Zuo's eunuch sent a few bedroom utensils to decorate the new house.

Xin Er smiled and said: "Although I am incorruptible, I am also a general." Is the Queen Mother worried that I don't have bedding? Having said that, according to Zuo's explanation, the bed, brocade quilt, embroidered pillow and other things she sent were all put in the new room.

The stars turn to the moon, and the order enters the middle of spring.

On this day, presided over by the elders of the Linghu clan, Xin Er and Linghu Yan got married.
