Looking at the court, all the ministers in the hall surrendered to him, Liu Hong had an indescribable joy in his heart, and he couldn't help but miss Jia Xu who proposed this strategy to him, and by the way, he also missed Fuquan who recommended Jia Xu.

If there were more of these good ministers who could give him advice, and fewer people who opposed him opening the West Mansion to make money and not use it for state affairs, wouldn't it be better if he was the emperor, couldn't he use the money from the treasury for his own pleasure? Besides, political affairs and military affairs, didn't I, the emperor, pay for it? Without money, can the national court still function? And compared with Emperor Sejong Hyomu, the little money he spent was not as good as half a cent of his spending of the treasury to enjoy the war......

Liu Hong was full of complaints, but he knew what the occasion was at this moment, after all, it was an important place for the country to discuss political affairs, he could go back and think slowly if he wanted to do things, and it was important to announce the decree now, so he didn't think much about it after that, but quickly said the main purpose of convening the ministers this time,

In fact, the purpose of today's court meeting is very simple, naturally it is to discuss the transfer of troops to Xianbei, otherwise would you want to let Xianbei go and let it recover? As Liu Hong discussed with the courtiers, the Han army's expedition, and the main generals from all walks of life also came out with Liu Hong's decree, and the Han army officially left Beijing one day later.

The elite of the forbidden army of the Han army, who were stubborn and stubborn, went out of Luoyang City, under the leadership of the generals ordered by Liu Hong, went straight to the northern frontier, which also indicated that the Han Empire officially declared war on Xianbei, and the Great Khan Empire began to avenge the blood feud between the Han Empire and him for decades.

At the same time, the angels of the Han Dynasty also rushed to Huayin County, Hongnong County, on this day, and came to Zhang Huan's mansion, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" who had been confined at home and was idle.

"My lord, Your Majesty's holy decree has been ordered, where to go, I hope your Excellency will think about it."

With the angel of Emperor Liu Hong conveyed the edict of Zhang Huan, the angel respectfully handed over the edict to Zhang Huan and expressed his concerns, this angel called Zhang Huan "Adult", naturally and Zhang Huan is very connected, yes, he is Zhang Huan's second son, Zhang Chang, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

Zhang Chang, whose name is Wenshu, is the younger brother of the "grass saint" Zhang Zhi, and like his brother, Zhang Chang is also good at calligraphy, especially Shanzhangcao, whose calligraphy is only slightly inferior to his brother Zhang Zhi. His age is slightly younger than his brother Zhang Zhi, but unlike his brother who is hidden at home, Zhang Chang is an official, after all, unless the Zhang family does not want the family to grow, someone must be an official in the court.

Now, Zhang Chang was appointed by the imperial court as the Huangmen squire because of his father Zhang Huan, and it happened that Liu Hong needed to send someone to pass the decree and let Zhang Huan recover, probably to reflect the emperor's concern and love for the courtiers, Liu Hong personally ordered Zhang Chang to come to deliver the decree.

"Don't worry too much, since I already have the heart of conquest, since Your Majesty has an order, I will carry a three-foot long sword to share your worries for the king." Zhang Huan glanced at his second son, a little muddy and serious, full of love and happiness, after all, the second son has been an official in Beijing for many years and rarely goes home, and now he can watch it a few more times, so he is naturally very happy.

"Children do not persuade adults to avoid the world and refuse to march, but adults are old and the army is difficult to go on expeditions, and children are afraid that adults will not suffer from the march." Zhang Chang said in a choked voice, Zhang Zhi and Zhang Meng beside the two also nodded again and again after hearing this, but they had also dissuaded their father several times since Fuquan left that day, but in the end they were all shirked by their stubborn father, so they simply stopped persuading.

"Don't persuade, don't persuade, what Ma Wenyuan said is true, 'A man should die in the border field, and his ears will be buried with a horse leather shroud, how can he be evil in the hands of his wife in bed?' Huangfu Wei has died, Duan Jiming led an expedition to the outside of the Saiwai, 'Liangzhou Sanming' is the only one to save Zhang Ranming in the hands of his children, if this is passed to the world, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me and be afraid of death? When it goes! When it goes! ”

Looking at his son's face, Zhang Huan also felt something in his heart, but he pretended to laugh and replied, with a kind of desolation in his voice that saw through the world. After all, he is seventy-seven years old this year, and for ordinary people, he should have been buried in the ground, so what if he lived for a few more years, wouldn't he die of old age by the side of his children at most? For him, a Confucian general who has been fighting horses for half his life, this is obviously not what he wants, leading the army will be addictive, even if he is in the army, a general like Zhang Huan is most eager to die on the battlefield, be loyal to the country, and return the body of the horse leather, this is the final destination of the bloody man.

Here Zhang Chang saw that he couldn't persuade his father, and he didn't persuade him anymore, he just said so, after all, he didn't believe that his brother and younger brother hadn't persuaded him during this time, and Zhang Huan still insisted on it, which can only show that he already has a will to die in his heart, even if he dies, Zhang Huan will lead the troops to fight.

"In this case, the child wishes that the adult father will go out of the jam and serve his knees, and I hope that the adult will answer." Of course, Zhang Chang couldn't persuade his father, not that he let himself do what he wanted, but he knelt down directly in front of his father Zhang Huan and asked Zhang Huan to let him serve with the army.

Just after Zhang Chang knelt down and asked his father to answer, he saw that Zhang Meng over there also knelt down and said loudly: "The child is also willing to go with the adults and brothers, and I hope the adults will agree." Obviously, this little kid hasn't listened to Zhang Huan's words to keep him at home, and still wants to go on the expedition.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhi also knelt on the ground with him, but he did not follow and said that he would go on the expedition with Zhang Huan, but persuaded Zhang Huan to agree with his younger brother Zhang Chang's suggestion: "What Wen Shu said is extremely true, this expedition outside the Saiwai is a difficult and dangerous road, the adults are old, and everything is difficult to continue, so why not let Wen Shu accompany him, serve the adults, and solve problems......"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Huan said fiercely, interrupting Zhang Zhi's words at once, of course, he naturally did not say this to his eldest son Zhang Zhi, but to his youngest son in Zhang Meng, the prophecy of Zhang Meng's birth has been lingering in Zhang Huan's mind, and he doesn't want his youngest son to take risks. I saw that he then said to Zhang Meng in a stern tone: "I went out to fight outside the Saiwai, and you need to study the scriptures hard and learn from Bo Ying, do you know?" ”

His father's words made Zhang Meng tremble, and he wanted to ask why this was the case, but he still didn't say it after all, just nodded and promised: "The child understands." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Huan bowed his head, then turned his head to look at his eldest son Zhang Zhi and said: "Your brother is stubborn, you need to take care of his people at home, don't let him cause more trouble, and everything in the family needs to be supported wholeheartedly......"

After a sincere advice, with Zhang Zhi's solemn "no", and Zhang Huan looked at Zhang Chang, he finally nodded and said, "Idiot!" Idiot! Why ...... so much", this scene of deep love between father and son finally ended.

Then, Zhang Huan shared a meal with his sons and relatives in the family, because they had already received Fuquan's advance instructions, so Zhang Huan had already prepared his suits, just waiting for the angel to hold the edict to recover.

Therefore, after eating, Zhang Huan, with the support of his second son Zhang Chang, and the attendants of several middle-aged slaves selected by the family, got into a carriage, took Liu Hong's edict, and went straight to Liangzhou Thorn History Department, Hanyang County and Ji County.

Of course, what happened at the same time was that Zhang Huan, the assassin of Liangzhou who had not yet taken office, in his own name, called on the heroes who heard the news, regardless of their background, regardless of the past, to go to the battlefield with Zhang Ranming, avenge the country, and win fame, bring their own weapons and horses, and come to Liangzhou County to meet.

And the conditions given by Zhang Huan are also very tempting, those who call ten people, those who call for the chief, those who call a hundred people, those who are given the tun chief, those who call five hundred people, and those who are given the position of military marquis. The tun chief is comparable to the county lieutenant, and the military marquis is the head of a county and the head of a county, like that, for those who are eager for fame and fame, but there is no way to make a career in Liangzhou, the step of advancement is in front of them, after all, there is a veteran of the imperial court, Zhang Huan, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", as their benefactor, where can their future be worse?

At the same time, Zhang Huan also wrote a letter to the Zhuqiang of Liangzhou, and in his name, recruited the Zhuqiang soldiers. For Zhang Huan, even though he has been idle for many years, his military sense as a veteran still makes him understand the current situation, he is extremely short of soldiers, and he must recruit now, otherwise time will not wait for anyone, and it will be too late.

Although Zhang Huan doesn't know what the more than 10,000 divisions of the Han army led by Fuquan are now, it is obvious that even if Fuquan has won many battles along the way, the problem of strength must be his most important problem. Judging from the military report that Zhang Chang just said from this son, a large part of the reason why Fuquan was able to win was based on the internal friction of Xianbei and the fact that Helian had dispatched a large number of elite recruits and Budugen.

The Xianbei tribes between the surrendered city and the Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain did not have too many elite troops at all, so Fuquan led the elite of the Han army, of course, it was difficult to be defeated. However, now with his attack on Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain, whether he has captured it or not, the Xianbei people must have been alerted by the news, if tens of thousands of elite cavalry in Xianbei will come to the rescue, then on the grassland, judging from the elite degree of the iron cavalry left behind by the Xianbei people in the melee over the years, the Han army, which does not have an advantage in strength and does not have too much logistics supply, will definitely be in danger.

Therefore, time no longer allows Zhang Huan to become the assassin of Liangzhou, and then mobilize the soldiers of the counties and counties to rescue Fuquan. Moreover, even if it is mobilized, Zhang Huan does not dare to mobilize too much, after all, Liangzhou is an important place in the western frontier of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the harassment of Zhuqiang and small rebel countries in the Western Regions outside the western frontier, even within the territory, the Hu people who were pacified by the internal relocation of the Han Dynasty have not yet been completely assimilated.

Even if it is not completely assimilated, there are problems such as time, politics, culture and so on, but it also shows that it is impossible for Zhang Huan to transfer too many soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and it is obviously not time to ask for help from Beijing, after all, Zhang Huan has to quickly lead troops to rescue Fuquan's department.

Therefore, recruiting soldiers on the spot has become Zhang Huan's first choice, fortunately, Liangzhou is located in the western Xinjiang, the state is still martial, and it is a mixed residence of Han and Hu, after dozens of hundreds of years of integration, the domestic martial arts are fierce, recruiting soldiers only need a little training, can be formed, plus Zhang Huan, the famous general command, is not a strong army that wins a hundred battles, it is also an elite soldier.

Historically, the later Xiliang princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, the reason why the combat power of soldiers and horses was so strong, in addition to the fierce soldiers and martial arts, the key is that most of them are the old foundations of the soldiers in charge of the "Liangzhou Sanming", in the Hanqiang Hundred Years War, and all kinds of counterinsurgency, after all kinds of hard battles, the combat power of the army has been improving, which can have the appearance of the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry" that was feared later.

Outside the Zhang Mansion in Huayin County, there were Zhang Zhi and Zhang Meng's brothers who saw them off all the way to the mansion, as well as a group of relatives in the Zhang Mansion. At this moment, everyone didn't know that Xiao Langjun, who had been naughty and frolicking in the house, was secretly clenching his fists, after knowing that his father was going to call on Liangzhou men to join the army, he gritted his teeth, and a sense of jealousy arose in his heart, his father would rather let outsiders go out with him than take me, it was too partial, I must let my father know the consequences, and soon, a plan that could not be told to his brother appeared in his mind......

It was on this day that from Jingshi Luoyang to the world, from Huayin County to Liangzhou, there was news that the Han Empire was on an expedition, such as Fuquan led his troops to break the surrendered city, recovered the lost territory of the Han family, and was preparing to attack the Xianbei royal court; For example, Emperor Liu Hongqi imprisoned Zhang Huan, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" who was idle at home, and ordered him to assassinate the history of Liangzhou and go out to conquer outside the Saiwai......

All of this indicates that a state apparatus called "Dahan" is turning under the order of the supreme ruler, the emperor, to recruit and march towards a new enemy of the Hu people named "Xianbei" outside the Saiwai, and for a while, the world is excited......

Fuquan, who is thousands of miles away, naturally does not know what is happening in the Luoyang Imperial Court today, and he is not as rich in military experience as Zhang Huan, so he naturally cannot keep up with Zhang Huan with his strategic vision, and he does not have the slightest premonition of his danger.

It may be that Fuquan felt complacent because of his bad taste, following the example of Huo Qubing and Dou Xian, building an altar to worship the sky, and erecting a monument to leave his name, or it may be that he slaughtered a lot of Xianbei people and played with the wives and daughters of Xianbei people, and he was arrogant, or it may be that the court did not have further orders, and the Han army could not know the follow-up situation of the Xianbei civil strife on the grassland...... In short, the confluence of various reasons made him begin to be confused after breaking the Xianbei Royal Court, and he didn't know how to enter next.

Fortunately, there is Duan Cheng by Fuquan's side, although this famous general does not know what the internal situation of Xianbei and the Han Dynasty is, but many years of experience allow him to persuade Fuquan to wait and see the changes, garrison Danhan Mountain, and wait for the Han army reinforcements to arrive or have Xianbei military information before making contact.

After all, although Fuquan's partial division has always been marching with war, food, water and feather arrows are not lacking, and they can be captured, but the damage to weapons and armor and the consumption of crossbows are visible to the naked eye, and these two are the sharp weapons of the Han army against the Xianbei people, and they cannot be missing.

Zhang Chang, whose name is Wenshu, is the younger brother of Bo Ying Ji, and is the waiter of the Yellow Gate. You Shanzhangcao, the family style does not fall, Yiye Qinghua, the book Boying, the time into the "sub-sage". As far as the muscles and bones are in a heavenly posture, they have not been caught.
