Chapter 85: Seeing the Master of the House Again (I)

It's autumn, and the sky is high and cool.

Riding a horse slowly through the field, as far as the eye can see, the golden wheat is facing the autumn sun, and its head is low, boundless. In the blink of an eye, it is the harvest season, the temperature in Liaodong is relatively low, the heat is insufficient, the wheat can only be ripened once a year, the normal year is the harvest from late June to early July, on the flat field, there are already men wearing military robes dancing sickles to harvest wheat.

Under the town military system of the Great Zhao Empire, a certain amount of land was allocated to military households according to the degree of fertility of the land, and the military households only needed to pay a part of the military rations, and the rest of the grain was kept for themselves. In the interior, the town army is divided into two points to defend the city and eight points to be planted, and in the border town area, the town army is divided into three points to defend the city and seven points to be planted. According to this system, seven cities in Liaodong's town army are responsible for planting, and these soldiers are farmers by profession and amateur to fight. Under such an unrealistic system, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness of the town army will be weak. Seventy or eighty percent of the soldiers are heavy on the ground, lack of drills, and how much combat effectiveness can be expected from such an army?

More than 200 years have passed, the empire's town army system is actually the survival of the people, the land of the town army has basically been swallowed up by the officers under various names, the phenomenon of the town army fleeing is serious, and the remaining town army cultivates the land that does not belong to them for the officers, barely making a living. The town army that lost its land was no different from serfs.

Nearly eighty percent of the wheat fields in this vicinity belong to the He family, who rely on these lands to support their private soldiers.

If the Liao army takes advantage of the momentum to go south during the autumn harvest, the wheat fields that are too late to harvest will suffer. Although it is clear that the southward movement of the Liao army is already an inevitable trend: such an ambitious tribe will not stop at establishing a state only in the east of Liao. But He Tengxiao still hopes that the Liao army will not make any moves at least this year, and the Liao army will go south, and his Pingshan Fort will bear the brunt, and the wheat fields of Pingshan Fort will inevitably be trampled by the Liao army.

After the Liao army landed in Goryeo, it was very calm, and there seemed to be no sign of continuing to use troops. He Tengxiao was thinking about what he would do next if he was a high-level member of the Liao State, and there were only two ways to think about it, one was to march south in a decent manner and annex the remnants of Liaodong of the Zhao Empire, and it was best to fight all the way to Haimen Pass. If this strategy can be realized, Liao's posture towards Zhao will be more proactive. Waiting for the opportunity, once there is a change in the Central Plains, the Liao army can break through and enter and restore the heroic cause of the ancestors to release horses in the Central Plains.

There is another one that is more swordsman, that is, it detours to Menggu, crosses Yanshan, breaks through the border wall, and enters the Central Plains to plunder and get out of the customs. Although this move was risky, once successful, the Liao State could plunder the wealth to replenish the Liao's treasury, which had bottomed out, and second, it could weaken the military potential of the northern part of the Great Zhao Empire and reduce the threat to the Liao State. It's also a good idea.

Thinking about it, He Tengxiao entered Fuzhou City, and with the experience of coming to Fuzhou City last time, He Tengxiao quickly found the Wu'an Mansion.

The two general flags guarding the gate of Wu'an Mansion were much more polite to He Tengxiao this time, and one of the general flags directly led He Tengxiao and took He Tengxiao to He Fangxiong's study.

As always, there are only two people in He Fangxiong's study, one is He Fangxiong, and the other is naturally He Mingye. The eldest son, He Shilong, that is, He Tengxiao's biological father, indulges in wine all day long, but does not ask about the affairs of the clan. Now the affairs of the He clan are still handled by He Fangxiong, He Fangxiong is old, and his energy is no longer enough to deal with the complicated affairs of the clan, so He Mingye stays in He Fangxiong's body all day long to assist He Fangxiong in handling the affairs of the clan.

To He Tengxiao's surprise, He Fangxiong said that he was summoning him to Fuzhou to discuss matters, but after He Tengxiao entered the study, He Fangxiong did not look like a discussion at all, but set up the chessboard and asked He Tengxiao to accompany her to play a game of chess.

He Tengxiao had to be accompanied, He Fangxiong's chess strength was not weak, but he was far from He Tengxiao's opponent, He Tengxiao said before the start that he wanted to let He Fangxiong have two sons. He Fangxiong did not agree, and in the end, He Tengxiao insisted that the sunspot go down first to show respect for He Fangxiong.

The result is naturally not difficult to predict, He Teng has a strong chess style, won He Fangxiong by a great advantage, and even saved the effort of counting the chess pieces at the end of the game, and you can see who wins and who loses at a glance.

He Fangxiong smiled, motioned to the maid to remove the chessboard, his face was as calm as water, and said to He Tengxiao: "Tengxiao, now you are also a battalion general, how to say that you are also a general, you must learn to converge in the future." Prioritize your actions. Young people need to be sharp, but remember, the edge should never be too strong. ”

He Fangxiong's previous talk to He Tengxiao made He Tengxiao feel a kind of lofty momentum, but today he was kind and pleasant, talking to He Tengxiao, like a father teaching his son earnestly.

"The subordinates strictly follow the teachings of Wu'an Gong." He Tengxiao got up and bowed to He Fangxiong, his tone was respectful and indifferent, and he did not show much surprise at the promotion to the battalion general.

"You are the grandson of my He family, just call me grandpa, and always call me Wu'an Gongwei Shengfen." He Fangxiong looked at He Tengxiao kindly.

He Tengxiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what He Fangxiong meant by saying this. He Tengxiao was sent to the military camp by the He family (side) (edge) (yuan) (Hua) since he was a child, and the attitude of the He family has always been cold. He Fangxiong's words caught He Tengxiao off guard, and He Tengxiao was promoted to a battalion general, could it be that He Fangxiong wanted to train him as the second He Shijie, re-train a Xiao cavalry battalion, and restore his prestige in the clan.

But if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely, He Fangxiong has passed the age of ancient times, and his life is rare for seventy years. He Fangxiong's physical condition is not good, and he himself is not a fool, so he should understand that time is running out. It took five years for the cavalry battalion to become famous in the first war and recognized by the world as an elite division. I'm afraid that one day He Tengxiao's elite has just been trained, and He Fangxiong is likely to have died. Moreover, although He Fangxiong is old, he is not confused. He Fangxiong should be clear about this.

He Tengxiao didn't open his mouth for a long time, and the scene was somewhat embarrassing to call He Fangxiong "grandpa".

"No matter what, it's no wonder that I sent you to the military camp since I was a child, but I don't ask, so many years have passed, and the family affection has become indifferent." He Fangxiong laughed at himself, and with such a smile, the dense furrows on his old face deepened.

He Fangxiong pointed to the cane to support his body, a little difficult, He Mingye hurriedly stepped forward to support He Fangxiong, but He Fangxiong glared at He Mingye angrily, and stubbornly stood up with the cane.

In his memory, He Tengxiao saw He Fangxiong twice, although He Fangxiong was not in good health, He Fangxiong never used crutches. Now that He Fangxiong is using crutches, it is conceivable that He Fangxiong's body is getting worse day by day.

He Fangxiong trembled to the table, sat down slowly, turned his back to He Tengxiao, and asked He Tengxiao: "Do you know who recommended you to be promoted to the camp this time?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." He Tengxiao shook his head.

The He family has the right to appoint military attachés below 1,000 households (exclusive), and at the level of 1,000 households, the military attache has reached the fifth grade. It is necessary to go to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War and the Emperor will make a decision, and the Emperor and the officials of the Ministry of War will issue a waist card after there is no objection. When you get your body and waist cards, you can be regarded as really taking office.

"Peng Chaodong, the governor of Liaodong." He Fangxiong said angrily.
