Two days later, Gao Yue's army crossed the mountains and mountains, traveled a long distance, and finally arrived in Xiangwu and appeared on the horizon. Outside Xiangwu City, Han Yong was the leader, and a group of civil and military generals, local people, and village sages had already dressed properly and stood solemnly for a long time.

The black and gloomy army is getting closer and closer like a mountain field, the flag is fluttering, the spear is reflected in the daytime, the first one of the generals, sitting on a horse, full of spirit, with a smile on his face, there is a woman beside him, also riding a horse, next to him, surrounded by countless tigers and wolves, with their heads held high and surrounded the guards.

Han Yong did not hesitate, and bowed head-on: "Subordinate Han Yong, meet the lord!" Behind him, countless soldiers and people all bowed down with him, shouting and worshipping, the momentum was solemn and solemn, making people awe-inspired.

Gao Yue's heart is like an arrow, and he is accompanied by Ah Chi along the way, Ah Chi is lively and pretty, and he is curious when he asks east and west, and Gao Yue is a little comforted. At the moment, looking at the wide city of Xiangwu and the familiar faces under the city, Gao Yue's heart fluctuated, no matter how difficult it was to contain, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward a few steps, helped Han Yong up, and pulled Feng Liang up, he looked left and right, hugged the two of them, and was very excited.

"I think about it day and night, and today we finally see each other again, it's really happy!"

Feng Liang originally saw Gao Yue, his heart was uncontrollable, and his eyes were red and he almost burst into tears. Hearing Gao Yue say this now, he suddenly interjected: "The person who thinks about the eldest brother day and night, isn't it his sister-in-law?" ”

Only he dared to make such a joke with Gao Yue on such an occasion. Everyone laughed heartily, Gao Yue also laughed, turned around and beckoned Ah Chi to come over.

Ah Chi originally knew how to ride a horse, but he was taught by Gao Yue along the way, and later he slowly overcame his fear, and he could ride a more docile horse and follow Gao Yue slowly. If Ah Chi still can't succeed when the horse is galloping, Gao Yue will hold Ah Chi in his arms, and the two of them can ensure the speed.

Seeing Gao Yue greeting, Ah Chi turned over and dismounted, came in front of Gao Yue, a little shy, and a little curious looking at the faces in front of him.

"Everyone, this is the inner Yao Chi."

Han Yong's face was solemn, and when he heard the words, he immediately bowed: "Subordinate Han Yong, meet Mrs." So the people behind him continued to bend down and saluted again loudly.

Ah Chi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Ah! The general is Han Yong, and the concubine is polite. I heard that General Han fought so well that even children in Yinping County didn't dare to cry at night when they heard about the big names, and now they can see each other, it is really, really unexpected, I thought that General Han was the same as Brother Lei or even Brother Gu. ”

Lei Qizhi and Gu Siduo followed Gao Yue all the way north, so they were more familiar with Ah Chi. Hearing this, they looked at each other, and some couldn't laugh or cry.

Gao Yue laughed, but Han Yong avoided Ah Chi's gaze, stood sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Madame has won the award, and her subordinates are panicking." can win the battle, relying on the heroism of the lord, and the soldiers under him, and the subordinates are just because of the people. ”

Seeing him so humble and courteous, Gao Yue patted Han Yong on the shoulder and said with appreciation: "I have all your merits in my heart, don't be so modest, in the future, you will definitely become Han Bai in the world, and the more soldiers you have, the better." ”

Gao Yue's praise is the best reward. Han Yong's heart was moved, and he couldn't say anything, but he was still just thankful.

Subsequently, Gao Yue introduced Feng Liang, Li Hu and others to Ah Chi one by one, and when he heard that Feng Liang was his brother, Ah Chi smiled and said uncle. Feng Liang's heart was full of joy, and when he saw Ah Chi beautiful and beautiful, he was even more happy.

Although Li Hu hated Lei Qizhi, he saw that he was already a general in his own camp, and he had heard that Lei Qizhi spared no effort to fight bravely on the battlefield of Wudu, so he said in his heart, and reluctantly gave Lei Qizhi a salute back.

Seeing that these countless people were imposing, but they were all loyal subordinates of his own Langjun, Ah Chi was even more proud in his heart, and smiled sweetly at Gao Yue. Gao Yue knew her intentions, so he didn't speak, only hugged her with a gentle smile, pulled Feng Liang again, and led the crowd in. Xiangwu City ushered in the return of its master, and it was very jubilant and lively for a while.

For the next whole day, Gao Yue kept meeting guests, listening to reports from all parties, understanding the current information, checking the ledger books, arranging military affairs, etc., and was very busy, and he didn't care about eating until the time of the lamp, until in the dead of night, after clearly reviewing all aspects of government and military affairs, he yawned twice, and returned to the inner room a little sleepy.

Ah Chi didn't sleep either, and was sitting quietly waiting for Gao Yue. Seeing Gao Yue come in, she hurriedly stood up, stepped forward, took off her robe for Gao Yue, and brought hot water, to wait for Gao Yue to wash, Gao Yue didn't even say no, but couldn't resist Ah Chi, so she sat down with joy, enjoying his wife's careful care, and slowly savoring this warmth.

Ah Chi gently wiped Gao Yue's face with a hot towel, and pouted and deliberately complained: "My husband has been in a hurry for several days, and he is already very tired, but now that it is easy to come back, he will rest for a day first. ”

Gao Yue laughed, "I wish I could stay with my lady all the time." But now that it is an eventful season, I am the head of a county, and if I don't deal with many things, the people below will not be able to get the direction right, and things will be delayed. In fact, because a lot of things have accumulated together, I will be busy today, and now it is all straightened out, and after tomorrow night, it will never be like this. ”

Ah Chi pinched Gao Yue's shoulder, blinked his eyes and said, "I don't understand these either, as long as I can see you every day, I don't want you to be tired and bitter, and I will always be happy." ”

"Being the master of the house is actually very tiring. But although I was tired, I was very happy. And since you are in charge, you must do your duty no matter what, so that everyone's small family is more and more prosperous. ”

Gao Yue raised his hand and gently held Ah Chi's soft hand, and when he turned around, he saw the face that was close at hand, which was even more wonderful under the light, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Ah Chi was a little uncomfortable, and even the movements of his hands stopped unconsciously, and he didn't raise his eyelids shyly, and said softly: "What is the husband staring at me like this." ”

Gao Yue didn't answer, but turned around and hugged Ah Chi, staring directly at the beauty, and his breathing became a little heavy. Ah Chi was flustered for a while, and his heart shook and he was a little intoxicated, the rose-colored flush passed over the jade neck and went straight to his face, revealing a blur like water waves from the two beautiful eyes, and he looked back at Gao Yue with a sense of refusal.

It was late at night. The crystal clear moon was shyly hidden in the clouds, and she looked quietly with her face half exposed. Inside the house, the lights have long been blown out, and the nephrite jade is warm and delicate. The unique and subtle wheezing sound makes this quiet winter night even more lively.

After the conquest of Wudu, the Longxi Army continued to train itself and expand its strength in actual combat. Up to now, the Longxi Army under Gao Yue has grown from less than 5,000 at the beginning to a total of 12,000 soldiers. However, Gao Yue deeply knows the truth of indiscriminate refill, and knows that a large number of people does not mean combat effectiveness. Therefore, according to the system set at the beginning, the standards were carefully selected in the whole army, and 8,000 soldiers were appointed as forbidden troops, all of whom were stationed in Erli outside Xiangwu City. The remaining 4,000 or so were dispatched to the local garrison to strengthen public security patrols and ensure local stability in peacetime, and to strengthen the city's defense forces, do a good job in logistics scheduling, and even cooperate with the main force in wartime.

Emperors and monarchs must have close escort teams, and the names of such special teams may not be the same in the previous generations. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the Crane Army. The name of the Song Dynasty was more straightforward, and it was called the Forbidden Army. The nature of the forbidden army in the Song Dynasty changed considerably. The entire military system of the Song Dynasty was divided into forbidden army, box army, and township army. The forbidden army is the central army, the most sophisticated army, and its task is to "defend the Beijing division and prepare for the conquest"; The Xiang army was a soldier at the state level, guarding the local town; Township soldiers are the most basic soldiers in the local area, selected or recruited from among the people, and thought that they were defending their positions. This three-layer structure echoes each other, "making it mutually reinforcing both inside and outside, controlling each other from top to bottom, and cutting off but not violating." ”

This is a summary of the shortcomings of the local armies (feudal towns) of each dynasty in the past that were too strong to control. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty ended due to the rebellion of the feudal towns. However, the strongest force is in the Central Forbidden Army, and in addition to selecting the strongest soldiers and training them strictly, the forbidden army must also have a large number of them, so that in addition to the "Beijing Guarding Division", they can also go out to "conquer".

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the army was divided into the Chinese army, the foreign army and the state and county soldiers, and all the soldiers of the Chinese and foreign armies came from military households that had served in the army for generations. The Chinese army is directly under the central government, organized into armies and battalions, mainly defending the Beijing division, and going out to fight when there is something to do, with a strength of no less than 100,000 troops. The foreign army is the army under the command of the governors of the prefectures directly under the central government, and the governors are generally the generals or generals of Zheng, Zhen, An, and Pingping. In order to prevent secession, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty abolished the state and county soldiers, 100 people in large counties and 50 people in small counties to maintain law and order, but in fact, there were very few state and county soldiers who were canceled, and the order was almost a dead letter at the end of the Jin Dynasty.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that although the ages are far apart and the names of the armies are different, the actual duties and scope have basically not changed much. The Chinese army was the later forbidden army, and the foreign army could be regarded as the box army, and even the state and county militia could be counted as the township army of the Song Dynasty.

Originally, the Yuejia army was counted, and there were 12 armies such as Beiwei, Tabai, Xuanfeng, and Shengjie, each army was roughly around 10,000 people, and the main elite Beiwei army even had as many as 15,000 people. Gao Yue originally wanted to copy this for a while, but in his eyes, the current number of the Longxi Army was far from being large, and even the absolute elite of the Beiwei Army could not be formed for the time being, so he had to give up and plan for the future.
