Chapter 103 Three Yellow River

To say that war is a human activity that burns money will be recognized by most people, because it is an ironclad fact, but if it is not from the perspective of the country, but from the perspective of the individual, then it is difficult to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, this Wang Hanxin, who served as the envoy of the four states to go on an expedition to the Raid Deed, made a lot of money shortly after he left Chang'an -- someone gave him 4,000 good horses.

The reason for the incident was that Luo Ke, the leader of Yeerqiang, was grateful for the good governance that Wang Hanxin had formulated for the Qiang people, and heard that Wang Hanxin had been promoted to an official, and he himself had a new good horse named a black-maned jade lion, so he wanted to take the opportunity to give it to Wang Hanxin. Of course, since this good horse has been sent, I have selected a thousand good horses to send it with me.

As a result, his move was immediately known by the three clans of Tang Qiang, Burning Dangqiang, and Maqiang, who would be willing to let Ye Erqiang snatch this fart for nothing to shoot Wang Hanxin? So the three clans also selected a thousand good horses and sent them to Wang Hanxin, so Wang Hanxin suddenly received four big gifts without knowing it.

There are 4,000 more good horses for no reason, of course Wang Hanxin is very informative, especially the black-maned jade lion horse is very good, Wang Hanxin likes it even more. At that time, he instructed Mi Yiguo to register and make a book, and at the same time warmly entertained the envoys of the four clans who sent horses, and the group feasted for a whole day and a night before giving up.

Immediately after this, a second gift came. Lingzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou are all located on the border, and only Yanzhou is the key point of transportation in the three states, so it is a matter of course to set up a Jingluo Mansion in Yanzhou. As soon as Wang Hanxin arrived in Yanzhou City, someone gave him a second big gift, this time it was Liu Xianzhi, the king of Zhongyi County in Taiyuan Jinglufu, who sent Ge Boling to escort 3,000 collars of fine iron armor and 10,000 stone of grain to Wang Hanxin.

If you want to talk about the most well-informed person in the country of silk, then in addition to Wu Sicheng, it has to be Liu Xianzhi, the king of Zhongyi County, but because he has been sick in bed before, there have been so many changes. Now that after careful recuperation, Liu Xianzhi's body has generally recovered, and he can finally re-govern, so the intelligence work is quickly on the right track. He understood that although Wang Hanxin was promoted to the post of envoy of the four states, the four states had always been guided by defense. When it comes to defense, of course, it is impeccable, but the biggest difference between defense and offense is that there is no need to consider supply lines, so the food reserves of these four states are not enough. At the same time, to face the Turkic cavalry who are good at riding and shooting, sophisticated protective equipment is also a must. Liu Xianzhi hopes to remind Wang Hanxin of his top priorities after taking office by giving these two gifts.

After Wang Hanxin saw the gift list, he immediately entertained Ge Boling, who had come with the gifts, and toasted Ge Boling again and again during the banquet, which made Ge Boling very panicked - although Ge Boling was forty years old, he had a characteristic that ordinary soldiers did not have, that is, he had no jealousy, and he was full of respect for this commander, who was fifteen years younger than himself.

Wang Hanxin raised his glass again and saluted Ge Boling and said, "Please go back and tell His Royal Highness the King of Zhongyi County, just say that His Royal Highness's reminder to His Royal Highness has been clear in the next place, and I deeply feel the deep affection of His Royal Highness the King of the County." I want to be given a collar of Yanling treasure armor by His Royal Highness, and I am grateful to Dade for wearing it so far, and this time I have been sent by His Royal Highness to the armor grain and grass, which is really unrequitable. When I thought about the martyrdom of Lu Zhenbei, your army lost nearly 5,000 cavalry, and it was not easy to replenish it. Today, it happened that someone gave 4,000 good horses, so it was better to leave 500 as stallions, and the remaining 3,500 would be brought back to His Royal Highness the King of the County. ”

When Ge Boling heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Lord Jinglue's gift of this generous gift really solves the urgent need of our department!" To tell the truth, our department fought several fierce battles with Tuqi, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses, and after being rebuilt by various means, it was still only more than 10,000 cavalry. At present, more than 5,000 horses have been damaged, and if there is a reconstruction, I am afraid it will take more than a year. Today, I am grateful for the gift of the adults! ”

Wang Hanxin hurriedly helped him up and said, "That's very good." The emperor ordered me to lead these four states to fight against Tuqi, and you and I should work together to defeat the stubborn enemy, how can I thank you? I intend to go to the emperor and ask the Qiang tribes in Huizhou to buy more good horses for military use, and if His Royal Highness the King of the County intends to expand the cavalry system, he will purchase good horses with my department. ”

"I really don't know how to say thank you for that." As the commander of the cavalry, Ge Boling was so excited that he didn't know what to do.

Wang Hanxin said with a smile: "Lord Ge is serious, in fact, there is a reluctant request below, I hope that Lord Ge will fulfill it." ”

"It's okay for the adults to say, and the young generals will obey their orders."

"Gao Dingbian, the righteous brother in Xia, is the nephew of the late Lu Zhenbei, and he is also an old friend of Lord Lu. I want to personally go to the place where Lord Lu was martyred to pay respects, and I hope that Lord Ge will show the way. ”

Ge Boling couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, and said, "The adult is so gracious, the young general dares to disobey his fate?" Moreover, Lord Lu was in trouble that day to rescue the young general, and the young general was even more duty-bound! ”

Wang Hanxin is a person who does what he says, since Ge Boling should come down, he set off early the next morning and went straight to Fengzhou. Xiaoxing stayed all the way to Fengzhou City, and after a short rest, he went to the place where Lu Qinghan died in battle.

Everyone stopped at a small hill about forty miles away from the main road of the Yellow River, because no one knew the specific location of Lu Qinghan's death, and even Ge Boling only remembered the general direction. As far as the eye can see, you can see the course of the Yellow River, and in addition, the grass that has just emerged is scattered on the vast loess, although it is a vibrant spring, but it is still embarrassing.

Wang Hanxin and Ge Boling took a bowl of wine from the waiter's hand together, and gently sprinkled it on the ground, Wang Hanxin whispered: "The desert is lonely, and the ancient road is sparsely populated. The sunset birds return far away, and the clouds are sparse and the wind is urgent. Qingshan has loyal bones, and the blood of strong men is stained with clothes. Where the long sword is vertical and horizontal, how can there be Yidi? ”

Ge Boling said: "I always thought that adults were born in the army, and I didn't want adults to have such literary talents. ”

Wang Hanxin shook his head and smiled: "I didn't do it. Back then, I was just a school captain, and the four people who wrote the poem that day were Chang Duhu, Xue Shilang, Lu Zhenbei and Mu Yanping. Now except for Xue Shilang, the other three are all ancient. It's really sad to think of the pride of that day. ”

Ge Boling said thoughtfully: "Chang Duhu had a relationship with the young general back then, but unfortunately the young general never had the opportunity to meet the other two. It's a pity that Yidi is still there, and the hero has withered. ”

Wang Hanxin clasped his fists in the air and said, "Lord Lu is a heroic spirit, and he should be able to hear what he says." I swear an oath to destroy the Turge, attack the Dragon City, and behead Abicil to comfort the spirit of the Lord in the sky! ”

Ge Boling hurriedly said: "Please forgive the young general for trespassing!" I had already made a vow to kill Abichilir with my own hands to avenge Lord Lu! Please forgive the young generals for not giving in to this. ”

Wang Hanxin looked back at Ge Boling, took his hand and said with a smile: "Then you have to work harder, I won't let you go down." (To be continued.) )
