Western Naval Regiment, the second class regiment of the Han Empire, the commander of the corps Ma Bo, the word Hengqi, the rank of colonel, the quasi-wearing of the colonel's Pixiu sword medal, to show his position, the military medal is a lieutenant general, forty-seven years old. Graduated from the cavalry department of Zhaowu University, first entered the rhino armor guard, served in Nanzhang and Siam, and was later promoted to major in Maine. In 988, he was transferred to Liewuwei as the town marshal, and in 990, he was transferred to the Praetorian Guard as the division commander. In 995 of the Han Dynasty, he retired from the first-class army and entered the second-class army, and was first transferred to the familiar Posa Prefecture Legion as the commander, and in 999 of the Han Dynasty, that is, the first two years of the Yue's rebellion, he was transferred to Xihaizhou as the commander.

Its station is in the Beique military camp in the north of Dingxing Province. The establishment of the regiment directly under the corps: two divisions, one division, one brigade and one brigade are not yet fully staffed, only the personal guard brigade is full, the general staff and the military justice department are combined, only 600 people, and the baggage division and guard division together are only 1,600 people. In other words, the number of troops that Ma Bo, the commander of the legion, can immediately mobilize is about 4,500 people!

The Western Navy Regiment has three dissatisfied divisions, the former division commander surnamed Xiu, concurrently the deputy commander of the West Navy Regiment, with the rank of lieutenant general, graduated from the Infantry Department of Zhaowu University. In 989 of the Han Dynasty, the Tubo Army was transferred to Xihaizhou, and according to the wartime full military system, there should have been a front division of 22,768 people, but now there are only 10,926 people after the downsizing. Stationed in Onsy Province.

The commander of the middle division is surnamed Yi Mingrong, with the rank of major general, graduated from Xichuan University, and later joined the army, successively served as the commander of the hussar guard, the commander of the hussar guard, the commander of the guard, and in 986 of the Han Yuan Dynasty, he was directly transferred from the imperial capital to the Western Naval Regiment as the commander of the division. It can be regarded as a promotion, but it is obviously offended people, and he made a trick of promotion and demotion in secret, and was directly demoted from the imperial capital to Xihai Prefecture. He is forty-two years old. The middle division under its jurisdiction has a full staff of more than 22,000 people, and the existing personnel are more than 10,000, stationed in the west of Dingxing Fu. It is under the jurisdiction of Wuding County.

The commander of the later division is surnamed Wei Nan, a descendant of Hou Weiqing of Han Changping, graduated from Jinyang University, and then put pen to paper, and went through the lieutenant of the Jinyang Second Class Regiment - the lieutenant colonel of the Yanzhou Second Class Army - the colonel of the Beihai Second Class Army - the colonel of the Xihai Second Class Army Colonel four times, and there is no service experience in the First Class Legion. However, you have an understanding of the garrisons of the Second Class Army in various places, so you have been promoted many times, and you are forty-three years old this year. The division under his command had 8,600 soldiers and was stationed in Longqing Province.

The above four people can be said to be the military pillars of the Han Empire in Xihai Prefecture. The Xiao family in Xihai Prefecture wants to respond to the Yue family, and these four people are also insurmountable.

Of course, the resumes and personal preferences of these four people have long been compiled into a book and submitted to Xiao Ning.

On the main hall of the Xiao family's mansion in Xingcheng County, Dingxing Prefecture.

Li Shiyuan and Wu Jingzong stood with their hands down, their expressions extremely respectful, waiting for the real person sitting at the top to ask.

Under the smoky mountains and rain in the main hall. The heads of the three families of Xiao Li and Wu are all seated.

Li Longjing and Wu Anguo sat on the left and right, both of them were sixty-year-old men, dressed in Han-style deep clothes, with their right side straight, sitting on them. Compared with Li Longjing's pure Han square face appearance, Wu Anguo's family may also be mixed with foreign blood, so the hair is thicker, and the facial contours are more obvious and profound.

But. The housewife of the Xiao family, sitting between the two old men, is the real majesty.

Although Ma Shen called Xiao Ning of the Xiao family "old witch", in fact, Xiao Ning was not old. She married Xiao Yuanying at the age of sixteen. At the age of seventeen, he gave birth to a son, Xiao Jiye, who has been in charge of the Xiao family for fifteen years, and is only thirty-two years old this year. In modern society, it is still the stage of mature young women, and even a large number of older leftover women have never been married at this age!

Xiao Ning, who was sitting in the middle, combed his hair to the sky. Wearing a ring-buckled flying phoenix crown, he was wearing a cyan cross-collared skirt, and the hair on his shoulders and back was draped on his body. Her facial features are not the kind of existence that makes people amazing at a glance, but has the gentle and delicate air of a Han woman, but the eyes with the domineering spirit of a man. It is extremely incommensurate with her willow eyebrows.

"Xihai County Gong really said that?!" Liu Ye's eyebrows shook slightly, and Xiao Ning said in a condensed voice.

Her voice wasn't that sharp, but it was penetrating.

Li Shiyuan bowed and hugged his fists and said: "That's true, Mrs. Xiao, do you see if the three of us will send someone to pick up the official pavilion to welcome the Marquis of Bohai in three days?" ”

Li Shiyuan replied, but his eyes glanced at Li Longjing on the side.

Li Longjing pinched the three-inch beard under his chin, and also squinted at Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The concubine is just a woman in the people, how can she have the qualifications of the official family to greet the Bohai Marquis of the Han Dynasty~~"

This is true, although the Xihai Xiao family has great power in Xihai Prefecture, it is only a civilian identity. Even the five major families - Xiao, Li, Wu, Wen, and Zhang, except for the Zhang family, who is really involved in politics, and the head of the Zhang family is the state pastor of Dayue Prefecture, the heads of the other four families are actually remote control behind the scenes, but the people in the family have entered the officialdom, and they themselves do not have any official status. This can also be seen from what they are wearing now.

Of course, a person's influence has nothing to do with the clothes on his body, just look at Li Shiyuan and Wu Jingzong, who are wearing Han official uniforms but standing respectfully in the hall.

Wu Anguo on one side said: "Mrs. Xiao means not to accept the Marquis of Bohai?!" I'm afraid it's ~~"

Xiao Ning said with a smile: "The concubine just said that she didn't have an official status and didn't go, but the three of us have so many sons and nephews who work in the official, so let them arrange it properly." ”

"However, if you take the Marquis of Bohai, in case he brings the edict of the Son of Heaven~~" Li Longjing said worriedly.

Xiao Ning glanced at his eyebrows and said, "So what?!" Is the edict of the Son of Heaven to allow the army of the Han Dynasty to slaughter our good people? Do the three of us have any evidence in their hands? ”

"Well, I don't have it. Our liaison with Da Yue's side has always been the responsibility of distant relatives from outside the house, and according to the tradition of the Imperial Nine Clans, we cannot be involved. "Wu Anguodao, "However, after all, the Ma family has that intention, if it is the edict of the Son of Heaven brought by Bohai Hou Zhen, even if it is just an edict for the Ma family to command the Western Naval Regiment, we are afraid that we will be besieged by a group of soldiers and will not be free, when the time comes, how can we talk about big things?!" ”

Wu Anguo's words made Li Longjing also deeply agree, and said with his jaw: "Not bad." In case the Ma family really gets the edict of the Son of Heaven that can control the Western Naval Regiment, then we really don't want to turn over. ”

Xiao Ning glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice, "What do those two family heads mean?" ”

Li Longjing glanced at Li Shiyuan and Wu Jingzong, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and his right hand was raised. Then he slashed down again: "Anyway, this matter will be done sooner or later, or this time it will be launched in advance, and according to the original plan, Ma Bo, Xiu Xiu, Yirong, and Wei Nan will be solved together!" Then let Chao Wei of Liulian County lead his troops into the city and slaughter the Ma family!! ”

In just one sentence, the murderous spirit is overflowing. Immediately, Li Shiyuan and Wu Jingzong, who heard it in the hall, trembled all over.

In front of two Han officials. Saying that they wanted to kill the head of the Western Navy Regiment and destroy the Gongmanmen of Xihai County, Li Shiyuan and Wu Jingzong suddenly felt that this world was too ridiculous~~

Wu Anguo was obviously a little hesitant, but after being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "The amount is small, not a gentleman, no poison, no husband." Mrs. Xiao, I also think the time has come. I'm not afraid of 10,000 in this matter, I'm afraid of what happens, and when Bohai Hou arrives, even if we do something, there will inevitably be an extra layer of variables, so it's better to do it now. ”

Xiao Ning was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he took a deep breath before he said slowly: "Chao Yujun will go to the Beique military camp tonight to meet Ma Dianshuai, later, I will go to meet with him, and at the latest tomorrow, I will send someone to inform the two family heads to meet again to discuss." ”

Li Longjing and Wu Anguo immediately nodded in understanding, but there was an indescribable taste in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Ning.

Xiao Yuanying is inhumane, and Xiao Ning is the actual head of the Xiao family who has been in charge of the power for fifteen years. Is it just a widow for so many years?! In particular, a woman is as good as a wolf at thirty, forty as a tiger, and fifty can pick up dirt. If she didn't have a few concubines outside, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Of course, a stupid woman will trade her feelings for physical pleasure, while a wise woman will trade her body for the benefits she deserves, and at the same time obtain the needs of her body. Xiao Ning is obviously the latter.

This Chao Wei is one of the people she has conquered with beauty in recent years. And it is the most useful person for them at the moment, there is no one.

Chao Wei. The word Jun Mi, the first town marshal of the former division of the Western Navy Regiment of the Han Empire, is stationed in Liulian County, Luxi Prefecture. This Chao Yu came from Yangzhou, Dahan, graduated from the Infantry Department of Hongcheng Military University in Dahan, and entered Jiaolongwei after graduation. He served as the captain of the Jiaolong Guard, and later contributed to the conquest of the Empire's Posa Prefecture against Anxi, and was promoted to captain, and accumulated military medals to the rank of captain of the Xiaocai.

Later, due to the change of guard, Chao Wei was transferred to Xihai Prefecture and was soon promoted to the rank of colonel. Since then, although there have been many opportunities for internal transfer, Chao Wei gave up on his own, and instead applied to continue serving in the Western Naval Regiment, which Chao Xuan stayed in the Western Naval Regiment for ten years! It can be said that in the Western Naval Regiment, Chao Wei's qualifications are older than the corps commander and several division commanders!

Many people think that Xiao Ning hooked up with Chao Wei. But only the two of them knew that it was actually Chao Yu who chased him from Laozhou to Xihai Prefecture.

Yes, this is another very cliché story of a childhood sweetheart. Chao Wei and Xiao Ning have known each other since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts, and later because of the opposition and arrangement of their parents, the two lovers are separated. In order to be able to go to Xihai Prefecture, Chao Wei applied for Hongcheng Military University, and after that, he continued to work hard, and finally transferred to Xihai Prefecture.

It seems that these are two infatuated lovers who are infatuated with each other, and then finally a lover finally becomes a family~~

But in fact, Chao Wei, an idiot, didn't realize that the woman he loved had actually changed her mind a long time ago...... Although Chao Ying has always refused to transfer to a better position in order to stay by her side, and even gave up the appointment to move back to Laozhou for her, Xiao Ning has always kept Chao Wei, is it really love?

No.

Of course, Chao Wei doesn't know yet, but he will soon know.

……

Chao Yu arrived at the Beique military camp and immediately went to meet the commander of the Ma Bo army.

This is a routine military debriefing. In the Han military system, the second-class garrison had to take turns to report to the corps commander at regular intervals.

After the Yue's rebellion, this report became even more diligent. Because he did not receive an order from the Imperial Privy Council, the commander of the Mabo Regiment did not order the wartime expansion of the Western Naval Regiment, so all divisions and towns were still equipped in peacetime.

And this town of Chao Wei is the only town in the whole army that has undergone wartime expansion, and it is not even full, but also overstaffed. The first town of Chao Wei now has 27,158 soldiers! It's almost catching up with a division!

Why is this happening?

In fact, it is still a question of the setting of the Han military system. Originally, according to the military system of the Holy Ancestor, the Western Navy Regiment could not be expanded in wartime without receiving an order from the Privy Council. But now that the Yue clan is rebelling, the Yue rebels will attack Xihai Prefecture to the west at any time, and under this premise, Ma Bo has to think about the Western Naval Regiment. In the event of a meeting with the Yue's soldiers, it is really difficult to say whether the Western Navy Regiment, which only relies on the peacetime garrison establishment, can resist the Yue's rebels.

Therefore, after discussing with the three division commanders, Ma Bo decided to expand the Liulian County garrison facing Dayue Prefecture first, and it was a super-large-scale expansion. Once the Privy Council's wartime expansion order was issued, he could quickly divert Chao Wei's towns under the command of other town brigade commanders. In the shortest possible time, a less than full-fledged Western Navy regiment was expanded into a wartime establishment.

You must know that according to the Han military system, a full-strength second-class legion should be a large-scale legion of more than 100,000 people!

And Chao Wei came to the Beique military camp this time, in addition to the routine report, the most important thing is to come over again to persuade Ma Bo to carry out the general mobilization and general expansion of the whole army!

In Chao Wei's opinion, Ma Bo's courage is too small. And it's too rigid, and it's limited by the rules and regulations. Yue's rebellion, the Han counterinsurgency army is fighting a bloody battle with the rebels, in this case, as a Han soldier, if there is no order in time, you should immediately find a way to participate in the war. But Ma Bo is committed to the duty of a soldier: obey orders!

The Han military system is Ma Bo's current order, and Ma Bo resolutely refuses to do what is not allowed by the military system. Let the town of Chao Yu expand. This is already the biggest concession that Marbo can make, in his opinion. If there is no order from the Privy Council, he should be called up for all the reserves.

Of course, the Han military system is not rigid, and the military system also stipulates that once the territory where the legion is located is attacked by the enemy, the corps commander can carry out wartime expansion. But now the Yue's rebels haven't crossed the Green Ridge yet?!

For such a brainless palace marshal, Chao Wei really didn't know what to say.

However, as the battle of the Yue clan became more and more stalemate, and as time dragged on, Ma Bo became more and more anxious about waiting for the order of the Privy Council, and he also began to become anxious. As soon as Chao Yu arrived this time, he couldn't wait to give an order: to expand the first town of the former division again, expand two brigades, and transfer the required officers from the Beique barracks!

For this order, Chao Wei was also helpless. Expand two more brigades, and Chao Wei will directly become the commander of the division!

Of course, for this order, others really can't complete it, but who let Chao Wei have been in Xihai Prefecture for more than ten years! No one here, including his division commander Xiuxiu, is familiar with the situation in Xihai Prefecture!

Mabo?

This regiment commander, whose brain has been ossified, stays in the army all day long, maintaining the creed of "soldiers will never interfere in politics", even the three major families in Xihaizhou, he has only heard of it, and has never been in contact with it at all.

Of course, there is one person Ma Bo who has been in contact with him, and that is the stallion of Xihai County.

In fact, the first time Ma Bo came to Xihaizhou to take up his post, Ma Bo came to visit Ma Shen. Because, Ma Bo is also a descendant of Jin Gong Ma Chao. And he is a member of the Longyou Ma family, but Ma Bo is not the descendant of the Longyou Ma family, but the descendant of the branch, according to the generation, he wants to be called Ma Shen uncle!

It seems to be a tradition, or a subconscious habit. When the Privy Council appoints the commander of the Western Naval Regiment, it will subconsciously choose the people of the Ma family. And the people of Xihaizhou are also particularly superstitious that "the descendants of Jin Gongma Chao will be able to guard Xihaizhou", which I don't know when it began to circulate. Therefore, the successive commanders of the Western Naval Regiment are all descendants of the Ma family. There are only a few times when people with foreign surnames have served a few terms, but they have generally remained the same.

Fortunately, this corps commander is rotated, otherwise it is really difficult to say what would have happened.

To be honest, Ma Shen himself doesn't like Ma Bo. Because Ma Bo is a good man, he is a standard soldier to the bones! To put it mildly, he is a fool who only believes in dogma and does not know how to be flexible!

If a person surnamed Ma was to be the commander of this army, why did Ma Shen bother hoping that the Marquis of Bohai would bring the edict of the Son of Heaven? I had already let the Western Navy surround the Xiao, Li, and Wu families, and then sent troops to the Yue Clan!

And this Ma Bo, without the edict of the Son of Heaven or the Privy Council's decree, will resolutely not listen to Ma Bo.

For such people, Ma Shen loves and hates. Love is because, with Ma Bo here, the Western Navy Regiment will not be controlled by the Xiao family at least, but hate is also because of Ma Bo's presence, and he can't move the Xiao family. It's like a person who obviously has a peerless divine weapon, and he can cut off the enemy's head with just a slight wave, but this peerless divine weapon refuses to cut it down.

……

Coming out of the Beique military camp, it was already noon, Chao Wei ran directly to Thirty Miles, he received Ma Bo's military order, and he also needed to go to Yirong Yishi to report. And this will inevitably pass through Xingcheng County.

According to the regulations, Chao Wei came to Dingxing Mansion from Liulian County to make a report, and he could have two days before and after. Therefore, he would finish the military affairs in a very hurry every time, and then take advantage of the last night to live in Dingxing Mansion...... It's a well-known secret.

Of course, there are many versions of this secret.

Ma Bo believes that it is normal for a veteran soldier like Chao Wei, who has been stationed in Xihai Prefecture for more than ten years, to have his own family in Xihai Prefecture, although he has never seen this family, but he believes that soldiers are also allowed to go home to visit relatives in military law, and it is understandable that Chao Wei secretly stayed in Dingxing Mansion for one night.

The drama Xiu believes that soldiers, especially colonels and soldiers who have just passed the age of thirty-seven, it is normal to have a little desire, and I heard that there are several orchids in Dingxing Mansion who are quite beautiful, as long as they do not delay military affairs, they should relax when they take the opportunity to come to Dingxing Mansion to linger.

And the caring Li and Wu families thought that Chao Yu had a private meeting with the glamorous lady of the Xiao family again.

As for the Ma family~~ The Ma family really didn't pay much attention to Chao Yu. Although Ma Shen and Ma Yuan both knew that Chao Wei was the town marshal of Liulian County, and they also knew that Chao Yuan's first town had been expanded twice, and now they can be said to be the most powerful generals in the entire Xihai Prefecture, but the soldiers of the Han Dynasty only obey military orders, which the Ma family thinks that Chao Wei will not be an exception!

Are there really no exceptions? (To be continued.) )
