On the third day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Xuanhe, it is the day calculated by Guo Zhenren of Yuqing Shenxiao Palace, which is suitable for traveling, building cars, migrating, sweeping houses, and avoiding marriage, groundbreaking, and grave repair. Tong Guan selected 5,000 elites from the three yas of the Beijing Division, and was given the name Zhenbei Army today, so he left Bianjing today and escorted Zhao Ke, the prince of Wei, to Hebei to reward the three armies.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army came from the four armies of Tiecai, Konghe, Longjie, and Hujie, and a very small number of imperial shifts were on duty. There are even officials who choose tall women to match with the royal guards, in order to give birth to strong heirs who can defend the royal family from generation to generation.

The Fourth Army and the Imperial Front Duty are often in the army for generations, and it is not uncommon for dozens of big families to live and reproduce in Bianliang, so the Zhenbei Army went out to Hebei today, and the lineup of family members to see them off was much grander than usual. The crowd swelled and kept crowding towards the marching procession, one after another, there were old fathers and mothers with gray hair, wives with swaddling babies in their arms, ignorant half-grown teenagers looking at their fathers in the march silently, and young women with tears on their faces, breaking off willow branches from the royal willows by the roadside and sticking them in the placket of their husbands who went out on the march. The Zhenbei army was blocked by the crowd of people seeing them off, and it was almost as slow as a snail, and it took a whole day of work to walk ten miles north from Fengqiumen.

"In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, now I am coming and going, the rain and snow are falling, the road is slow, thirsty and hungry, my heart is sad, I don't know how I mourn."

Zhao Xingde muttered, put his hand into his arms, pinched a sachet and took it, there were fine stitches embroidered on the surface of the sachet with two lines of words "Sijun is like a full moon, night and night reduce clear light", there is a concentric knot in the sachet, and a lock of hair, all of which are given by Li Ruoxue.

On the sixth day of the first month of June, the official decree came, and Zhao Xingde, a Confucian scholar of Taixue, went to Hebei with the envoy Tong Guan to announce the decree, and the envoy and the prince Wei Wang went to Hebei to reward and comfort the three armies and set off together, and the strange thing is that he was not awarded an official position. This inexplicable dispatch, even Song An, who is familiar with the story of officialdom, can't guess the true meaning of the official.

According to the military law at this time, on the day of receiving the military order to enlist, you should bring your own bags and go to the camp, and you are not allowed to return home to visit until you leave. Zhao Xingde had to say goodbye to his mentors and friends in Bianjing, pack his bags, first pay the proclamation to report to Tong Guan, receive the farewell, and since then he has been staying in the camp of the Zhenbei Army, and he is not allowed to leave the camp without being ordered by the general. Only Chen Dong, Li Ruoxu and others have visited the camp once, in addition to bringing some seasonal fruits and necessary things for long trips, Li Ruoxu also brought this sachet on behalf of his sister.

At this moment, although Li Ruoxue could not come out to see him off because of the etiquette of the boudoir, Zhao Xingde still felt a trace of warmth. After rubbing the sachet for a while, he put it in his arms preciously, looked left and right, and gently covered the end of his nose, and there was still a faint aftertaste. The originally depressed mood suddenly became cheerful again, Zhao Xingde straightened the felt hat on his head, and lightly whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed dissatisfiedly, walked a few steps quickly, and slowed down again.

Hebei Xuanzhi made Tong Guan treat Zhao Xingde well, although he did not have an official position, he was still issued three sets of various robes and clothes according to the practice of joining the army from the Eight Grades Record, Lu Su several stones, tea and wine kitchen materials, charcoal, and salt. In addition, because it was sent to the camp in Hebei to announce the decree, he also issued an iron sword, bow and arrow, and specially assigned a horse for him.

When he first received this Hexi horse, Zhao Xingde was also taken aback by its tall and strong, this kind of strong military horse is rare among the people, and he also longed for the situation of wearing armor and riding a horse, but in these days in the Zhenbei military camp, Zhao Xingde spent most of his kung fu wrestling with this healthy horse assigned to him. Because there is no actual official position, he does not have a special groom, therefore, this prisoner who enjoys the treatment of eight grades, only feeds the horses by himself, brushes the horses, and never even attends the meeting, starting from almost breaking his butt into eight petals, he learned to control the horse little by little, that is, when he was running a horse on the school field, Zhao Xingde and Han Shizhong, who invited himself to join the expedition, met again.

"You scholar don't understand the world, you must have not given the benefits to the Tiansi Prison Supervisor, so you gave this ungelrated fierce horse to make you suffer a little." At this time, Han Shizhong saw Zhao Xingde's first sentence, "But this kind of Hexi fierce horse is only strong to ride, if it is trained well, it is the most enjoyable to cross the battlefield." What he didn't know was that this Hexi horse had a particularly violent temperament, kicking and biting when ordinary people approached, but it didn't make it impossible for the supervisors and veterinarians of Tianxi Prison to castrate.

Since then, Zhao Xingde got up at night to put fine material on the horses, combed the horse's mane every day, cleaned up the debris on the horse's hooves, walked the horse, and talked to the horse like a nervous person.

"You can open a three-stone hard bow, the strength is good, but unfortunately the strength of the waist and legs is still too weak, your ass sits firmly and steadfastly sits on the war horse as a Hu bed, these two slender legs are lying on both sides softly, without half a point of strength, it can look down on you as a scholar." Han Shizhong continued to sneer at Zhao Xingde without yin or yang, and then instructed him to stand on the horse post and exercise the physical strength of the waist, abdomen, thighs, and calves.

Zhao Xingde knew that he was grateful for his original helping virtue, and he didn't think about it, and honestly followed Han Shizhong's instructions every day to boil his body, fortunately, because of the prince's frame and a bunch of civilian officials, the speed of the Zhenbei Army's march was not fast, and he camped early to rest every day as soon as the red sun was slanting westward, so that Zhao Xingde still had time to rest.

"This horse is human, and sometimes he loses his temper, maybe it is not necessarily because he was bitten by a good mare the night before." Zhao Xingde thoughtfully recalled Han Shizhong's words and lifted the reins, but Hexi Dama was still listless, "Maybe it's the opposite." He thought with some malice.

Looking around, the marching column of the Zhenbei army is very neat, in the middle is a column of foot soldiers, escorting the carriage of the prince and Tong Guan and other officers, these foot soldiers wear red tasseled felt hats, the neck is bright and eye-catching red scarf, the body is a gray light military robe, only carrying standard waist knives and bows and arrows, armor, spears, crossbows, firearms and other heavy things are placed on the convoy on both sides of the infantry queue, grain trucks, crossbow cars, fire attack vehicles, gun cars, tiger carts, oars, etc., or mules pull them, or there are people to push, a convoy is connected to each other, It was as if two moving horizontal wings of the city wall protected both sides of the infantry column, and once they were attacked by the enemy, they could immediately form an unbreakable formation.

In the front and rear of the marching column, there were also four battalions of cavalry. In accordance with the general rules of the military economy of this dynasty, the commanders of each battalion sent reconnaissance and cavalry sentries from time to time to probe the enemy's situation within 100 miles, so as to collect the effect of the enemy's planes first. However, because they have been marching in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, how dare the idle thieves come to harass the five thousand elites who are flying the Dragon Banner of the Son of Heaven, and the commanders of each battalion will not be such wicked people who have nothing to do. All the cavalry rode slowly in the vicinity of the infantry and the convoy. Han Shizhong also commanded his third battalion cavalry to march closely to the baggage convoy, one is easy to walk in the middle of the road, and the other is to have a good relationship with the baggage officers, which will be beneficial.

"I heard that the land of Hebei is flat, and the most powerful cavalry gallops vertically and horizontally, this time the imperial court intends to clear Hebei, and General Han is very useful." Although Zhao Xingde did not have an official position, Chen Dong and others who came to visit him still revealed to him a lot of rumors in the court, and they were much better informed than an old man like Han Shizhong.

"The imperial court cleared Hebei, what did you do to Lao Han?" Han Shizhong's eyes showed a look of disgust, and in front of Zhao Xingde, who had read the sage's poems and books, he spoke even more unscrupulously, "It's this bowl of rice to eat, the official family wants to fight, let's bleed and fight." His eyes wandered intentionally or unintentionally at the curtains of several cars in the baggage battalion convoy, Zhao Xingde knew that one of them was Li Hongyu offered by Gonglou, this time to reward the Hebei soldiers, a total of fifty-five military prostitutes on the march, fortunately the commander of the troops, Tong Guan, was a eunuch, and could not be personnel, since Bianliang went out to the present, except for the occasional order for these military prostitutes to drink, there is no other dispatch.

Tong Xuanyu made it impossible to make personnel, and even other generals of the Zhenbei Army could not enjoy these military prostitutes at will, so as not to violate the taboo of adults. This made Han Shizhong breathe a sigh of relief, while inquiring about Li Hongyu's news, while making friends with competent officials, Hebei is not as good as Beijing, as long as a competent person secretly does his tricks, it is not difficult for a military prostitute to become a woman from a good family.

Although Tong Guan's public identity was that of an envoy, the news of the imperial court's intention to change the commander of Hebei had already reached the top of the Hebei camp. The Beijing Daimyo Mansion of this dynasty is where the Hebei Xingying Marshal's Mansion is located, and the Baoxin Army's Jiedu envoy, the deputy commander of the guard Ma Army, and the Hebei Xingying are all deployed Liu Yanqing, who is looking at the generals kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face.

"The old man has always treated you well, is this how you repay you?" Liu Yanqing has been in charge of Hebei for more than ten years, and all the generals under his command are all single-handedly drawn among the soldiers, although they are a little arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, once they are angry, no one dares to look up at dozens of fierce generals with armor and armor underground, and no one dares to defend a word.

"What soldier? What prince pleads in front of him? What are you in the court? If the old man dies and the clan is destroyed, can you wait for peace of mind? Liu Yanqing's face was pale, and when the news of the change of commander in the imperial court came, he was originally a little disheartened, but then he thought about it, and after decades of being a general, he had already placed countless good fields and beautiful houses in the inland state capital, and the official was the envoy of the festival. That's exactly what it means. This time he retired and returned to Beijing, although he is no longer as majestic as before, but he is better at leisure, and the Liu family no longer commits the taboo of kings, and the next generation has the possibility of reuse.

Who would have expected that when he woke up this morning, dozens of people in full armor came to the courtyard outside his bedroom, saying that the court misheard the villain's slander, and the big guy was angry, and he wanted to admonish the soldiers, and met the prince to defend the old handsome, didn't this push Lao Liu into the fire pit? As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yanqing's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he snorted heavily in his nose, and Tian Shizhen, Shang Qiong, Hu Sai'an and several other generals who were kneeling on the ground unconsciously cringed.
