Chapter 1026 - Unrelenting

Lu Shi whispered, "Does the master think I am such a casual person?" I'm just going to take a look at the layout of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War on behalf of the master, and after returning to Qianzhou, I will do a detailed reference, and I will make a big change in the Qianzhou Thorn History Mansion in the future, and there must be a new look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The next day, the sixth Gao Shenxing and his wife arrived, and Gao Shenxing had already returned to his heart like a sword, and I don't know what kind of mess Liu Kan had made in Qianzhou during the time he left.

Gao Xianxing believes that because of the death of his father, the status and influence of Gaofu have been weakened for a short time, but due to his dreamlike resurgence, it has been slightly strengthened.

There are two assassins in the current older generation of Gaofu, a history of the prince's mansion, and a history of the military department and a history of the governor of the capital protection in the younger generation.

After a brief explanation with the sixth brother, Gao Xianxing took the three ladies and sisters to set off. He knew that if Cui Ying had not arrived, then she would definitely refuse to go back to Qianzhou.

This made Gao Xianxing a little heartbroken, from the bottom of his heart, the weight of one Cui Ying in his heart was better than the three in front of him. But he admits that he has hurt her too much, too much.

Cui Ying pushed the Lu family back this time, and in front of Lord Chu and Lord Fan, she bluntly said that the Lu family was the side room of the high judge, not for his sake.

She didn't want this disaster to cause chaos to Gao Jun and Liu Yuru's mansion.

And Cui Ying was in pain from first learning that she had an affair with Ju'er, to being cold about this kind of thing after arriving in Qianzhou, and then to taking the initiative to push a Lu family over at this time, which shows that she doesn't care about herself anymore.

She would never live under the same roof with the Lu family.

With Cui Ying's arrogant heart, although it is inconvenient for her to directly express her resistance to Qing Ruoying, the identity reversal that Qing Ruoying brought to her also made her uncomfortable.

and Liu Qingping, although Liu Qingping has the advantage of being young, Cui Ying stands with her, a woman who has worked together and belongs to the younger generation, and there will be no psychological peace at all.

On the way back to Qianzhou, Gao Xianxing had heartache more than once because he thought of Cui Ying, and sometimes he cried when he sat on the horse.

Once again, he realized the profound meaning of the phrase "what is lost" is the best.

At this time, in his heart, there was something that he had ignored in the past that slowly became clear: although he had been tossing for so long, Cui Ying was still the most compatible with his identity as a assassin.

Lu Shi has been dishonest since he came out, first muttering that his car is not as beautiful as the eldest lady and the third lady, and even the coachman is not mature, and she has a stomachache several times.

The high judge was so annoyed that he changed Liu Qingping's coachman to her. Then she complained more than once about the hardships of the journey, that there were no more people waiting for her journey.

It seems that she came back again, and she belonged to someone who had made a lot of sacrifices, took the initiative to abandon the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department, and the bustling and lively living environment of Chang'an City.

Gao Xianxing didn't bother to pay attention to her, and contrary to the previous understanding, Gao Xianxing understood another truth from Lu's body:

Sometimes I dream of it, and I don't see it for a day, but when I finally get it, I know that it's a bad thing.

These troubles accompanied Gao Xianxing all the way, but fortunately, the joy of his comeback has been comforting him.

Holding the power of the power, I realized its preciousness, and the high-level pedestrian seemed to be ten years younger, this comeback was like a dream, and he could no longer take random steps.

……

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, animal husbandry flourished, first of all, it was inseparable from the important position of horses in the military.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, after the end of the Sui Dynasty, Ma Zheng had long been ruined, and there were only about 3,000 horses in the country, which is now the number of horses in a middle pasture in Xizhou.

This is very similar to the scene in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty when "the Son of Heaven could not have a mellow horse, and he would be a general or ride an ox cart".

The chariot of the emperor of the Han Dynasty could not find four horses with an ordinary appearance, and the prime minister of the dynasty had to take an ox cart.

Even if the time comes to Gao Jun's animal husbandry today, the animal husbandry has been very developed, but how to subdue the border troubles and stabilize the situation in the country, the army and the pavilion still need a large number of horses to act as war horses and carriers. The development of horse husbandry remains a top priority.

With the emperor's eloquence, he had to adopt the so-called checks and balances in his policy towards Yidi, not because he did not have so much ambition and desire for possession, but he was just beyond the reach of the whip.

In the early years of Wude, the Turks were strong, from Khitan and Murwei in the east to Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, and all the countries controlled more than 100,000 strings, and none of them submitted to the Tang Dynasty.

Since the fourth year of Wude, the Turks have continued to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty, the most serious is in the ninth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty has been established for nine years, but the Turkic Jieli Khan dared to lead more than 100,000 elite cavalry into the Kou, for which the Beijing division was under martial law several times.

If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's occupation of Gaochang, the passive situation on the western border would not have changed so much. This is the real feeling of Gao Jun inspecting the Liaodong Ranch with the Chief Pastoral Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Yin had mentioned to him before that during the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, had always purchased war horses from Liaodong by sea, so that he could compete with Wei. Later, the Liaodong pastures were all returned to Goryeo, and Wu lost the source of good horses, so it was self-defeating.

Then he thought that there were five tiger generals in Shu Hankong, and at the peak of his heyday, he wanted money and money, food and grain, soldiers and soldiers, and generals, but he could only try to protect himself, and he could not make great achievements, and he was not a good horse.

The horses of Yizhou are as small as big dogs, and the mountaineering packs are acceptable, but how can they compete with the Wei State, which has several excellent pastures in the north?

The prime minister of Shu Han attacked Wei several times, and every time he did not take Chang'an directly, he would go out of Qishan, who would have thought that he was actually going to a good pasture!

This time, the pastoral administration was transferred to the Ministry of War, and the secretary of the Ministry of War was also the chief pastoral supervisor, Gao Jun thought that this decision could not be more correct, and it was almost a supplement after the capture of Gaochang.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to maintain its long-term prosperity against its neighbors, and continue to achieve victories, and raise its prestige abroad, it must have a powerful cavalry that is dominant in the world.

The developed horse husbandry industry can provide an endless supply of a large number of excellent war horses to provide lasting combat power for the army.

In Yingzhou, Gao Jun met with Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

The prince is sitting in Yingzhou, responsible for planning grain, grass and military supplies for the army, and he has obviously lost weight these days.

Knowing that Gao Jun had been promoted to the secretary of the military department, King Jiangxia was very happy and said to Gao Jun, "I really obeyed the imperial brother, and I am always unexpected in employing people, but I am reasonable." You are in charge of the military department and Ma Zheng, it is very suitable! ”

He gave Gao Jun an example, and this time he once again felt the indispensability of horses in Yingzhou. A large number of troops need to be transported from Yingzhou, and the transportation capacity of one horse is equivalent to seven strong soldiers.

The two of them were drinking in the camp, and the prince said, but Li Shixian's mood was probably not very good, "I don't believe that you are inferior to him in military affairs, and you have more advantages in terms of flexibility and surprise, but I have to say that in terms of qualifications and large army operations, at least in terms of experience, others think that you are slightly inferior." ”

The prince said that in this expedition, although Li Shiyun was the general manager of the Liaodong Road march and led the soldiers and horses of the three armies, this general manager was only a temporary errand, and he couldn't protect Lord Li from having some mustard in his heart.

The prince wanted Gao Jun to anticipate it in advance and make arrangements in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.

Gao Jun knew the prince's kindness, and since Jiang Nan and Jiannan's party, the two of them have been talking inseparably.

Gao Jun said with a smile, "It's not that I came to deceive Lord Li's position, the emperor's order cannot be violated, I believe that people of Lord Li's level will definitely understand me." ”

And when he took office, he did not point fingers at anything in the military affairs of Liaodong, which meant to respect and believe in Lord Li.

Besides, the Ministry of War still has a lot of things to do with the national pastoral administration, and this aspect alone is enough for him to be busy for a while.

Wang Ye asked, "The Ministry of War is about to add a new Mabu Yamen, I don't know what pre-thinking you have about the selection of Mabu Lang and Wai Lang?" ”

Gao Jun said, "Lord Wang, I won't plan for this, anyone can come, I don't pick." Moreover, I don't plan to move the original team of the military department, and I can trust the people when Lord Li was in charge of the military department. ”

Gao Jun said sincerely, but the prince had already seen from it that Gao Jun had no intention of rooting his own strength in the military department, and even did not want to participate in the selection of the head of the Ma Ministry Yamen, which he had the most right to speak, which was even more valuable.

The prince can guess that Li Shixian's departure from the military department is not groundless, in front of the emperor whose eyelashes are empty, Li Shixian's thoughts are lively for a moment, and he will be insighted.

Great wisdom is detrimental to desire.

While drinking wine, Li Daozong also thought that His Majesty had promoted himself to the top and joined forces with the army, and he actually played the most crucial move.

The next day, the prince invited the new military department Shangshu Gao to go with him to inspect the military transportation in Yingzhou. On the way, the prince said that the pack horse was still a little insufficient.

Gao Jun asked, "Why?" ”

Li Daozong said that it was enough at first, but the pack horses were sent up and raised, and when they returned from the battlefield in Goryeo, seven or eight out of ten made mistakes, and the transportation capacity was greatly reduced, and some post horses had recently been requisitioned in the nearby post stations.

Gao Jun asked, there are pastures in the secluded camp, why didn't the prince recruit some horses?

Li Daozong smiled bitterly, "If I had known that you would have joined the main military department, and then the military administration and horse politics would have been unified, I am afraid that I would have given this order a long time ago." But I couldn't afford it before. ”

When they arrived at the quartermaster yard on the outskirts of Yingzhou, a logistics force of the Tang Army was ready to go, and a team of pack horses was constantly loaded with supplies, and they were about to set off.

But he saw that forty percent of the horses were in a bad condition, as the prince said, and he was afraid that if he went back and forth again, he would not be able to come back.

Li Daozong sighed, "In the eighteenth year of His Majesty's personal expedition to Goryeo, the 100,000-strong army only lost 1,200 people, but

There were 40,000 horses, and seven or eight out of ten died. A dragon without horns, a good friend in the army! ”

Gao Jun was in a hurry to travel this time, and in order to avoid the suspicion of Yahuan attaching a cliff, he did not display a flag and drove lightly.

With Li Daozong coming to inspect, these sergeants and generals almost didn't notice that the new military secretary of the Tang Dynasty actually walked past them.

There was a general in the army, who looked like he was less than thirty years old. Gao Jun saw that he was dressed as a guerrilla general who had descended from the fifth rank, tall and physical, brave and powerful. The prince said that he was the chief general of this military escort.

At this time, he was leading his mount and inspecting the preparations of the pack caravan.

As if he was not in a good mood, he scolded his sergeant, and came to a pack horse, pointed at the horse's goods with his whip, and asked, "Why is it so little?" Is it a trip to the Goryeo battlefield? ”

A servant stepped forward and replied respectfully, "General Li, you see that it looks like it is sick, and it can't load more goods, otherwise I'm afraid it will ......."

General Li whipped it over, "The military supplies can't be transported, which delays the war, and the chief manager Li doesn't care whether it is sick or not." Let the soldiers go hungry, but I am considerate of a horse? Load it for me! ”

Li Daozong wanted to send a message to stop him, telling him that Master Gao, the secretary of the military department, had arrived, but Gao Jun signaled that he didn't have to.

Li Daozong said, "This person's name is Li Ji, he is Li Shixian's nephew, and I heard that he is a general. But Li Shiyun didn't send him to serve in front of the army, why did he let him run to the back to escort grain and grass. ”

"What's the nephew?"

"Li Shixian's wife enjoys the title of 'Lady of England', which is not bad for your family's Mrs. Yaoguo. And this Li Ji is the godson of Li Shiyun's second sister. ”

Li Daozong said, "Lord Li's second sister is also a county monarch, which is not bad with your other seven Mrs. Ru. ”

Gao Jun smiled, "Lord Wang, don't force comparisons anymore!" ”

As he spoke, the servant had already carried two large bales of rations to the horse, and bundled them one by one.

Li Ji was satisfied, and after looking at it, he couldn't find fault anymore, so he let it go.

But as Fang moved, the horse was overwhelmed, and its legs were limp on the ground, and it was driven by a whip, but the weight was pressed on its body, and it only raised its neck in vain, but could not stand up again.

Li Ji complained loudly that a horse had missed the military situation, and he strode over very anxiously, holding the reins with one hand and reaching under the pack with the other, "Hey! With a sound, he actually helped the horse stand up, and the power in it surprised Gao Jun as well.

Li Ji clapped his hands and shouted, "Let me go!" ”

But behind him, there was a "grunt", and the horse collapsed again. General Li was furious, and when he returned, he whipped him twice in a row, "You piece of waste! ”

But the horse was struck only once, and blood flowed from its neck, and it sneered away from another blow, and the whip struck the grain bag, which was immediately broken. The corn was sprinkled all over the ground, and the servants were busy unloading grain and plugging leaks, and there was chaos on the field for a while.

Li Ji still didn't vent his hatred, blaming it for delaying the trip, striding over, raising his foot to aim at the horse's head and kicking, "I will die ...... day"

But the foot also kicked out, but the other foot stretched over, and the force was removed by a dexterous hook on the neck of his foot, and then with another flick, Li Ji involuntarily turned half of his body and stood there, but the horse dodged this blow.

Li Ji has always boasted of his divine power, and he rarely meets opponents, but now he is blocked by one foot in front of all his subordinates, and he is extremely embarrassed, so he said angrily at that time, "Who are you?!" ”

Seeing the three-grade clothes on Gao Jun's body, he was a little unconvinced, because the other party was much younger than him, and he didn't recognize it in the army at all, "The barracks are heavy, you dare to wear them indiscriminately and disturb the hearts of the army!" ”

Gao Jun smiled and asked, "Then do you think this Prince Li is wearing it randomly?" ”

Li Daozong shouted, "The new military department Shangshu Gao is here, you still dare to be presumptuous!" ”

Li Ji was startled, but then his face showed some arrogance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his head and lowered his eyelids and arched his hand to Gao Jun, "The humble general has seen Lord Shangshu!" ”

"General Li, as a general, you must know how to cherish horses, even though it is sick and you still load it like this, I am afraid that if you can get out of this big warehouse, it will not be able to reach the front line."

Li Ji has always been in the front army, but this time he was sent behind.

He once went to his uncle Li Shiqian to theorize, but no matter how much he pleaded, Li Shichang just didn't speak, and only asked him to escort the military rations.

He has always been puzzled, this time he suddenly heard that a military department secretary appeared again, and guessed that his uncle's abnormality probably started from this, so he was a little disrespectful to the young military department secretary in front of him.

replied, "Lord Shangshu, the humble general is always in front of the battle, don't you know this truth? But there are so many horses, but there are a lot of military needs, so I have to let it be carried wherever it counts, and where the horse dies, it will be succeeded by people, otherwise the military period will be missed, and the uncle of the humble general can turn his face and deny me. ”

Gao Jun smiled and asked, "Why don't you let it carry it less, and adjust it while walking, maybe it will be better when it comes back, and it can continue to work, not better than having to go and never return?" ”

"Cut, there is less carrying, is it only carrying its own nourishment along the way, so that it can go to the mountains and rivers?"
