Chapter 307: Embarking on the Journey Coming Out

This winter's climate is indeed a bit abnormal, not only is the northern grassland warm and snowless, but even the Zhongnan Mountain, which was closed by heavy snow in previous years, has only seen a snowflake after one rain last month. &1t;/p>

A large area north of the foothills of Mt. Jungnam has been off-limits since the expansion of the Royal Upper Forest Garden. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach. And since a few years ago, Changle Plateau, which is not far from here, was given the fief of Changle Hou Yuanzhao, and after the large-scale construction began, a large area has been encircled and has become a base for different purposes. &1t;/p>

As for what it is used for, under the heavily guarded layers of checkpoints, outsiders have no way to find out, so although the residents of the three counties near Chang'an have a lot of speculation, it is unknown what the specific real situation is. &1t;/p>

The Lantian County Commander named Du Shangyuan was one of the people who knew the details of this, after all, the land around Zhongnan Mountain was still nominally under the jurisdiction of Lantian County. At that time, a civilian who was chopping wood had strayed into the forbidden area and was detained by the patrolling soldiers, and he went to negotiate as a parent official, and was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the inside of the house. &1t;/p>

At that time, it was very coincidental that Du Shangyuan met Changle Hou Yuanzhao. At that time, the little marquis had just returned from northern Xinjiang, and he had just shown his edge and became famous in Chang'an. &1t;/p>

In the forbidden area he saw, there were a large number of good horses, and at that time there were probably thousands of them. After Yuan Zhao led him to take a cursory, he told him with a smile that these were all transported from the Western Regions and the northern grasslands through different channels. The proportion of mares is higher in order to allow them to breed better, which will be of great use in the future. &1t;/p>

Du Shangyuan looked at the elite soldiers who were galloping and killing in the distance, and of course he understood what Yuan Zhao said would be of great use in the future. Therefore, there was no need for Yuan Zhao to ask more, he swallowed everything he saw in his stomach and did not reveal a word to others. &1t;/p>

It was from that time that he issued a strict ban to all the people under his rule in the jurisdiction of Lantian County, and no matter what was necessary, he was never allowed to step into the forbidden area for half a step, otherwise he would bear the consequences. &1t;/p>

Whenever he thinks of this, Lantian County Ling is very excited. There is an elite cavalry of the empire, thriving under his nose, although he is just an ordinary official, he also knows that although the Han army has hundreds of thousands, but the real good and capable divisions are very few. And the cavalry team in it is almost none. &1t;/p>

It is precisely because of this reason that for many years, there was nothing to be done in the face of the unscrupulous invasion of the Han territory by the Hun cavalry at any time. There were many families in the vicinity of Chang'an whose relatives had died under the scimitars of the Huns, including Du Shangyuan's uncle. &1t;/p>

There is no way for ordinary people to repay such a blood feud. Du Shangyuan, like many people, did not have the luxury of hoping to take revenge, but only hoped that there would be no more tragedy like being broken into the vicinity of Chang'an by the Hun cavalry in the future. However, ever since he heard Changle Hou reveal some kind of information that time, his heart was full of endless expectations. &1t;/p>

Not long after, when the elite cavalry that the Lantian County Commander had been secretly following for a long time finally made a stunning appearance in front of the world and embarked on the Northern Expedition, it is conceivable how ecstatic he was. But now, like ordinary people, he doesn't know anything about it. &1t;/p>

Just like what he saw back then, today, there are five or six horse farms in the area between Zhongnan Mountain and Changle Plateau, and there are tens of thousands of free-range war horses. Such a scale would be staggering if known to the outside world. &1t;/p>

Just to breed and breed these war horses, the people on Yuanzhao and Changle Plateau have paid a lot of effort for this. Although there was a lot of support from His Majesty the Emperor, the amount of money Yuan Zhao spent on these horse farms alone was an astronomical amount. In the past few years, Emperor Liu Che has been here several times, and looking at the increasingly large herd of horses, the joy and excitement in his heart have become stronger and stronger day by day. &1t;/p>

"Boy, even if you haven't done anything else for me, just by virtue of cultivating these tens of thousands of good horses for the Great Han, even if you are given another Wanhu Marquis, it is worth it!" &1t;/p>

Not long ago, when he came for the last time when the autumn breeze was just right, after seeing these fat and strong war horses, he once stroked Yuan Zhao's shoulders and sighed like promises. &1t;/p>

Now, these war horses are finally leaving the pasture at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and going to their real world. &1t;/p>

Since the beginning of winter, the Black Hawks' military training has not stopped in these vast pastures. It doesn't matter if it's ice and snow or the warm sun, whether it's a dense forest or a hill. The men and horses are roaring vertically and horizontally, the troops are arranged to fight back and forth, and the training of various physical abilities and the drills of cooperation with the operation are not too boring to carry out over and over again. Because in the hearts of every Black Eagle Army soldier, they firmly remember what Changle Hou Yuanzhao once said when he formulated training procedures for them. &1t;/p>

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime"! &1t;/p>

It is such an ordinary and simple few words, but it is better than a thousand great truths. Coupled with the strict requirements of the main general Wei Qing, no one in the Black Eagle Army dared to slack off from top to bottom. &1t;/p>

However, today's atmosphere is a little different, whether it is in the left-behind military camp on Changle Plateau, or in the various training grounds at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the faces of the officers and soldiers of the Black Eagle Army are full of irrepressible excitement. Although they didn't dare to make a loud noise, they were all quietly talking about a news that would be confirmed soon. &1t;/p>

At the beginning, many people thought that it was the same as the previous few times, that some people wanted to go to the front line in northern Xinjiang to make meritorious service and wanted to go crazy, and they made up such rumors, if the serious General Wei Qing knew, they would inevitably be beaten with a military stick. &1t;/p>

But after a short time, everyone's hearts began to be enthusiastic, because Wei Qing, the commander of the Black Eagle Army, was summoned to Chang'an by the emperor's envoy. &1t;/p>

Everyone has a hunch in their hearts that this time it will probably be true! The imperial court is finally going to use the Black Eagle Army, which means that the Huns will be officially fought along the Great Wall in the north. Although this news has not been confirmed, it has already reached the ears of every Black Eagle Army soldier before Wei Qing left the barracks and entered Chang'an City. &1t;/p>

There is no doubt that all those who hear the news hope that their speculation is correct. Since the defeat of more than 20,000 Huns and more than 20,000 cavalry outside Yanmen Pass that year, the Black Eagle Army has been looking forward to another greater victory from top to bottom. &1t;/p>

Such emotions not only exist in the hearts of the generals, but even ordinary Black Hawk soldiers are also looking forward to it. A treasure knife that has been tempered for a long time, if it does not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to be stained with blood, its edge will not be sharp after all. After Yuan Zhao's long-term indoctrination, a huge sense of honor has already penetrated deeply into their blood. The burning desire to prove one's abilities on the battlefield has led to the formation of an invisible force in this army. Be fearless and treat death as if it were life! &1t;/p>

The current Black Eagle Army has long been reborn, and compared to the combat power of the past, it is not the same. The total strength of the Black Eagle Army has reached more than 25,000 people, divided into three large battalions and stationed on the line from Zhongnan Mountain to Changle Plateau. The main general Wei Qing, below are the eight leading captains, they are Cao Xiang, Su Jian, Gongsun Rongnu, Zhang Cigong, Zhou Ba, Han Yue, Guan Xi, and Li Wang. &1t;/p>

These eight people who were later included in the list of famous generals of the Han Dynasty are now only captains in the army. Among them, Cao Xiang and other seven people, like Wei Qing, were all from the five hundred Xiao cavalry camp that first came to Changle Yuan, and Guan Xi's identity was a few exceptions, he was brought back from Youbeiping by Yuan Zhao that year, and he worshiped under his disciple and became a disciple of Yuan Zhao. This is of course a great opportunity for Guan Xi. &1t;/p>

A few days ago, Yuan Zhaobai went east and took away Gongsun Rongnu and Zhang Cigong, and the brothers were reluctant to be the boss. What's the point of lying here all day to train soldiers, where can it be compared to the real swords and guns, but there is no way, I have been unhappy in my heart for a long time. Well, now, if you can really conquer the Xiongnu in the north, then you will get what you want. &1t;/p>

Their guess was right, and this time they will get their wish. When Wei Qing followed the summons envoy into the Vermilion Bird Gate of Weiyang Palace, needless to say, he had already understood everything from the eyes of the few former Yulin Army brothers who were guarding. After the few Yulin Army guards secretly sent him a congratulatory signal, they looked at the back that was gradually moving away, and they were extremely envious in their hearts. Once upon a time, they were all the same palace guards, and now Wei Qing is about to bow to the general and lead the army and wave his army north, what a majesty! &1t;/p>

Emperor Liu Che summoned Wei Qing in the side hall, and he was very satisfied as he watched this majestic tall figure gradually walk in from outside the palace gate. As Wei Zifu's younger brother, the emperor in Jianzhang Palace did not have a deep impression of him. really paid attention to him from the time Yuan Zhao nominated him to be the commander of the Black Eagle Army. &1t;/p>

In the emperor's mind, since he is a person valued by Yuan Zhao, he must have his own unique merits. Look at Yan Zhu, Zhong Jun, Sima Xiangru, Zhang Qian and other people who have been strongly recommended by him, they are all good talents. As for the important Wei Qing, the emperor has something else in mind. &1t;/p>

The emperor has announced to the world not long ago that Wei Zifu of Jianzhang Palace is the queen of the Han Dynasty, and the date of the canonization ceremony has been set, on the New Year's Day of this winter. Empress Wei came from a humble background, and if she wants to truly lead the harem as the queen in the future, it is not enough to rely on the emperor's favor. Especially in order to ensure the stability of the status of the crown prince Liu Ju, it is necessary to give their mother and son a strong backing. &1t;/p>

In the emperor's conception, Wei Qing is the most suitable candidate. As long as it turns out that he has this ability, then his future prospects will be infinitely broad. This is not only for the sake of their Wei family, but also to ensure the stability of the society in the future. &1t;/p>

What's more, whether it is Jianzhang Palace or Wei Qing, they all have a deep relationship with Emperor Liu Che's future courtly important minister Yuan Zhao, and with these layers of relationship structure, Liu Ju's status as Prince Liu Ju will inevitably be as stable as Mount Tai. &1t;/p>

"Wei Qing, I worship you as the general of the chariot cavalry today, and the men and horses under the command of Shuai will conquer the Xiongnu in the north on the same day...... I hope you live up to my expectations! ”&1t;/p>

Wei Qing, who has passed the year of standing, bowed down to His Majesty, solemnly finished the salute, and when he raised his head, his face was resolute, and he stretched out his hands to take the edict ...... the general! &1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>
