At the beginning of September, it was late autumn in Longxi, and the grass and trees had withered and yellowed, and the lush green that was still all over the mountains a month ago has now become an embellishment among the mountains. The water in the canal in the river is still murmuring, but there is also a wisp of chill in the sound of tinkling water. The time for ploughing and sowing was approaching, and the weeds in the fields by the road had already been burned. Wang Hou was riding a horse on an official road in the black field. He was followed by a convoy of trains, almost all of them empty, and the horses pulling the carts trotted briskly with their heads held high.

Wang Hou was ordered to escort grain and grass to Weiyuan Fort, and now he has just returned to Longxi [Guwei]. The convoy approached the county seat, and many of the merchants and pedestrians who met on the road knew Wang Shao's house, and immediately flashed to the side of the road and let him pass.

Winter is not far away, and there are a few more business trips to and from Longxi, all of which want to catch up with the weather when the weather is still good, and draw a perfect end to this year's business. The city gate was bustling, and although Wang Hou's convoy had different identities, it was still delayed at the city gate for a while.

After entering the city, he personally escorted the empty car to the craftsman's camp for maintenance, Wang Hou turned the horse's head, and returned to the yamen. After checking the tooth tag and entering the gate, I saw two servants who had never met each other leading a few Hexi horses and walking to the stable in the corner. Wang Hou passed by them, and at a glance he saw that on the saddle of one of the tallest yellow huslesmen, there were four big characters engraved on the square, and the words were drawn in thick ink, and the vermilion saddle underneath was eye-catching.

also has a bit of literati habits, Wang Hou's eyes followed the horse, staring at these words a few more times. I only feel that the font is evenly balanced, and it has the style of Yan Taishi. On the side of the saddle, there are two cooked copper slips, and when I see the saddle pulled to the side, I know that the weight of these two four-sided copper slips is definitely not light. Wang Hou's eyes were sharp, and he only saw that there was silver light flashing on the body of the copper Jane, and when he looked at it, he saw that there were four words embedded with silver.

'Could it be that the revenge has not been avenged?' ’

Wang Hou secretly thought to himself, he could use a high-grade war horse with a shoulder height of more than four and a half feet, and he was equipped with Zhu An, even if he had not yet obtained the concurrent official of Yaojun, this official should not be far from Hengban. There are few military leaders of this level all the way.

He casually asked the Si Yan in front of the door: "Which general is here?" ”

"It's the Yao capital eunuch of Huanqing."

"Oh, it turned out to be Yao Wuzhi!"

After being reminded, Wang Hou suddenly remembered the legendary character who engraved the four big characters of Qiu Yun on all the utensils around him.

Yao Ji finally arrived. He thought as he walked towards the inner courtyard, "Three kinds of two Yao, but I want to see if the eldest of these two Yao can compete with the three." ’

The seed family and the Yao family are all families of generals in the Western Army. Yao Ji and Yao Lin of the Yao family's generation have made many meritorious contributions since they were young, and they have been called the leaders of the third generation of the breed family very early, namely the so-called three kinds of two Yao. However, now that the seed is flying and flourishing, Yao and Yao Lin can't afford this title.

Walking to the door of the inner hall, because there were guests here, it was inconvenient for Wang Hou to enter at will. According to the rules, let the guards guarding the door enter the hall. After a while, he was recruited.

Wang Shao was sitting upright on the handsome chair, and his sideburns had been dyed white by years of frost and hard work, making him nearly ten years older than his actual age. However, Wang Shao has a heavy load of responsibilities, and his momentum is like a mountain, and he is becoming more and more domineering.

At the head of the hall, a general under forty was also sitting steadily. The square face is fine, and the complexion is slightly dark, which is considered to be upright. It's just that the corners of his mouth are pursed, and he bends downward, pulling out deep furrows. A face is rigid, as if someone owes a huge amount of money...... Looking at his face, there are 100,000 yuan, to say the least. This creditor who could not recover his debts, because his father died in battle, carved the mark of revenge on all the utensils around him, and went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was the most brave. Just looking at the foreign minister, Yao Ji is indeed heroic and extraordinary, no worse than the kind of sword and kind of friendship, and he should be a veritable famous general.

When Yao Ji saw Wang Hou coming in, he got up and said goodbye. Wang Shao personally sent him out of the account and turned him back, and Wang Hou explained his task of transporting grain and grass to Wang Shao clearly, and returned the arrow.

Wang Hou successfully completed the task, and Wang Shao, a strict father, inevitably had to praise two sentences.

received his father's praise, and Wang Hou was very happy in his heart. After laughing and saying a few words, he turned around and asked: "Yao Wuzhi came quickly, it hasn't been a few days since the imperial court issued the decree, the child just went to Weiyuan once, why did he arrive?" ”

"Maybe it's because of the seeds?" Wang Shao This is no longer speculation, but a fact that conforms to human feelings. Chong Ge is already in charge of the army, and Er Yao is only a middle-level general in the frontier, how can they be convinced?

"Yao Ji is the first to come, and when the war starts, I have to let him take the lead." Wang Shao said again.

Wang Hou nodded. Indeed, Yao Ji's actions are like the wind, without the slightest delay, and he will inevitably be rewarded. And what Wang Shao can reward him is a chance to eat meat instead of gnawing bones after the war.

…… Ready for war.

Just a month ago, the dispute that had been repeated in the court for half a year was finally settled. The old Shaanxi transshipment road was divided into two. The east is Yongxing Military Road, the west is Qinfeng Road, and the transfer department is set up, which is governed by Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion and Qinzhou respectively.

In this readjustment, it is tantamount to dividing Shaanxi's military logistics, which was originally under the same jurisdiction. The four Jinglu pacification divisions on the edge of the edge, the Yanyan and Huanqing in the east are under the Yongxing Military Road Transit Division, and the logistics transfer of the two Jinglu envoys in the west of Qinfeng and Jingyuan is handed over to the Qinfeng Road Transit Division.

Weizhou, the granary of Jingyuan Jingluo Road, because Zhizhou is also the governance of Cai Ting, the Jingyuan Jingluo envoy, has been politically harmonious for several years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the grain has been harvested continuously. In addition, because of Cai Ting's sitting, since a few years ago, the western thieves in Jingyuan have not dared to set foot at will, which has reduced the loss of military food on Jingyuan Road a lot. As a result, almost all of the grain in the more than a dozen grain hoards in the state are overflowing.

The Fengxiang Mansion, which has a rich plain from Baoji to Xugu [this week] and is also the granary of Guanzhong, was also assigned to Qin Fenglu, which actually shows that the imperial court does not want to see the smooth development of the Hehuang strategy affected by the large-scale reduction in production in the Baiqu River Basin this year.

Because of the Gyeongju Mutiny at the beginning of the year, the counties around Baekul, which was originally the richest, have become areas in urgent need of relief, and they will not be able to make any logistical help for a year or two. However, with the support of Weizhou and Fengxiang Mansion, coupled with the fact that Qinzhou is also a grain-producing area, and the results of Juntun are also very obvious, Wang Shao has no worries at the moment.

With the support of the imperial court, the time for a complete solution to Hehuang has been set around the summer harvest next year. This year's task is to climb over the Bird and Mouse Mountain and capture the Wusheng Army, that is, Lintao, to expand the control area of the Great Song Dynasty to the west of the river to the Tao River Valley.

To confront Mu Zheng directly, and to guard against possible enemies in the future, the current strength of the Tongyuan army is not enough to support such an operation. Therefore, this time it was the armies of Qin Feng and Jingyuan that were mobilized. Yao Ji was the first general to report for duty, and next, the elite soldiers of Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road will also gather under Wang Shao.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers gathered together, like a broken embankment, flocking to Lintao, which had not yet returned, so that Hu Ma ran far away and did not dare to watch anymore. Wait until next year's summer harvest, and the last wave of the official army's offensive will be like a flood, drowning all the disobedient Tibetans, whether it is Mu Zheng or Dong Yu.

After a few years of hard work, it is almost the last moment, success is in front of him, Wang Hou is already flying out of the sky in his fantasy, and it took a while to come back to his senses. Wang Shao was not surprised, and had already lowered his head to look at the official document in front of him.

Wang Hou scratched his head embarrassedly, looked inside and outside the hall, and suddenly asked strangely, "Why is Yukun not here?" ”

"It seems that something happened in the wine shop, and when I heard the news, my face changed and I went out." Wang Shao didn't look up, only pointed out the door with a pen, "Yukun hasn't come back for so long, second brother, go over and take a look, what's going on?" ”

Wang Hou agreed, didn't dare to disturb his father's work anymore, and went out lightly.

Mounted on his horse and took his guards with him, Wang Hou went east of the city. Han Gang recently asked Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu to preside over and renovate the liquor farm, and in Longxi County, the original liquor farm was located in the east of the city.

Wang Hou hurried on his horse, but as he passed through a camp, a deafening roar broke out, startling the horses under his crotch.

In the neighing of the war horse, Wang Hou almost rolled and jumped off the horse, pulling the reins hard to calm the panicked war horse. Turning around, he looked viciously at what had been an empty camp.

In the camp, there was a group of soldiers wearing brocade jackets and holding silver guns, and they were lining up in a neat queue, practicing the formation on the school grounds. This group of soldiers, about four or five hundred men, was exactly the number of a command. Everyone is tall and strong, the spear is waving like the wind, the queue is as strict as a mountain, and the formation between actions is not chaotic at all.

Unexpectedly, the selection of the strikers of Jingyuan Road was brought to Yao Ji. Wang Hou let out a long sigh and stopped his anger, "Cai Ting is really generous!" ’

The selection of the front is not the official establishment of the army, and there is no such military rank in the Privy Council's military register, but the four marginal economic divisions all have the existence of the selection of the front or similar to the selection of the front army. It is composed of carefully selected elites from the armies assigned by each economic and strategic division, and there is basically only one command, but the combat power can match the enemy army several times. At the beginning, it was the one who captured Luowu City in one fell swoop, and it was the Yan Yan Road selected the front led by Chong Gesuo. Now what Yao Ji brings is the selection of Jingyuan Road.

After glancing at Jingyuan Xuanfeng's drill twice, Wang Hou retracted his gaze with satisfaction. Hop on the mount that has settled down and head to the wine field.
