Chapter 34: The Seed

"This Han King is really eyeless!" After Wu Shun finished reading the decree of the King of Han and the edict on the transfer of troops, he said indignantly.

While taking off your court clothes and changing into homely clothes, you said, "Didn't you tell you that this would happen before you entered the palace?" Everyone has a time when they are looked down upon by others. It's just that it may have disappointed my father. ”

Wu Shun shook his head and said, "Looking at the expression of the old man when he came back, it doesn't look like he was disappointed. How do I feel that the old man still seems to be relieved in his heart? ”

You laughed and said, "In my father's heart, I am actually very conflicted. On the one hand, they hope that I have a good future, and on the other hand, they are worried that I will be sent to the battlefield. Although his future was disappointed this time, he could continue to stay in the Lingnan fiefdom and not have to go to the battlefield for the time being, which my father thought was not bad. ”

Wu Shun said: "Young master, don't you feel disappointed? If it is really as the Queen Mother said, it would be fine to confer cold and thin titles on all the children of the family, but on the contrary, in front of you and behind you, many people who have no ability have been awarded higher titles and larger fiefs. We reluctantly gave these 500 people, and we didn't even have a real job, and we didn't have the title of leading soldiers, so we clearly coping with it. Even the Queen Mother feels that this is unfair to you. He looked angrily at the edict signed by the King of Han on the transfer of troops, and wanted to tear it to pieces.

Stretch out your hand and take the edict from him. You roll up the edict again, bundle it, and put it in a brocade bag.

You say, "The king of Han also gave me an army." ”

"In a war, can 500 people be counted as troops? It's pretty much the same as the Guards. Too little. ”

You say, "Whoever can lead the soldiers can bring them to the soldiers himself at any time." With or without the mandate of the king, it's all the same. Why bother with the number of people? King Han allowed me to lead the troops to practice new tactics, and this is important. ”

Wu Shun sighed and said, "These are all nominal. Speaking of benefits, all in all, our trip is almost the same as for nothing, and we got nothing. ”

You put away the edict carefully and closely.

You say, "You're wrong. It's not for nothing, but for a great gain. King Han has already given me the seed of the future new Han army, the seed of a new era. Although the seed is small, it contains the whole forest, and in time, there will be a time when the world will be shaded. ”

You say, "Now it's up to us how we use the seed." ”

Wu Shun said: "After going back, what does the young master want to do?" ”

You say, "Let's go back and see if the camp in Qingfeng Village has been repaired and expanded." Then, go to the edict to select soldiers. ”

Wu Shun said: "The army of the King of Han is so numerous and so miscellaneous, where is the young master going to select troops?" ”

You say, "Do you need to ask?" This unit has already been prepared for me a long time ago. ”

"Who?" Wu Shun asked puzzled.

"Qin'er's father." You say, "I'm going to go to Uncle Chen's troops before his death to select the first batch of men and horses of the New Han Army." ”

The image of Lei Shicheng comes to your mind.

You say, "I'm afraid, someone doesn't like me to go there to recruit soldiers." ”

"Who?"

You say, "A very nice person." ”

Later, some people often said, in fact, with your unpredictable performance on the battlefield, there is no obstacle for you to get rid of Liu Yan suddenly. However, you have never used the thousand-mile decapitation tactics and thunderbolt tactics frequently used on the Northern Front on Liu Yan. Although you have scared him several times, and even scared him to the point of being bedridden, you have not really killed him. In your heart, you have always left a little room for him. In addition to the long-term allegiance of your father and grandfather's family, more than that, you always remember and thank you in your heart, it was he who gave you the first seed of the Taiping Era.
