Chapter 157: Expanding the Army Again

Seeing that He Jin didn't agree, Yuan Shao thought to himself: "The son of the butcher, it is really a small family with serious anger, and he is even angry for the sake of a title, he wants to win over Li Qin, but he doesn't want to give benefits, and he doesn't even give verbal benefits, so why should people take refuge in you?" ”

Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "The waiter thinks twice, maybe you can discuss it with the queen mother and listen to the queen mother's meaning." He looked down on He Jin in his heart, and he didn't persuade him much, so he just gave up his hand and left.

He Jin stayed where he was for a long time, but he still didn't make up his mind, so he had to go home and tell his wife about the matter, and his wife also persuaded him to discuss with the queen mother, and everything was arranged by the queen mother.

Mrs. He Jin persuaded him: "Let our daughter enter the palace for you, and ask the mother what she means, maybe the mother wants to find an uncle for the eldest son of the emperor!" ”

"This, it's unlikely, how could Niangniang let a martial artist like Li Qin be an uncle to the emperor's eldest son!" He Jin felt quite incredible.

Mrs. He Jin said: "You are not a mother, how do you know that she is unwilling?" Let our girl ask for you! ”

He Jin thought about it, but there was no better way, so he had to send his daughter into the palace, explain the matter to Queen He, and ask what Queen He meant.

Sent during the day, Miss He came back at night and brought back the news, which surprised He Jin, Queen He actually agreed, decided to recognize Li Qin's brother, and let Li Qin be the emperor's eldest son as an uncle, and also persuaded the emperor to let Yuan Shao go to Li Qin to announce the decree, Yuan Shao was considered to be a messenger.

It turns out that people in the palace and people outside the palace see problems in different ways. He Jin is outside the palace, and the ministers have a bad opinion of Li Qin, so they don't think Li Qin is great, if you want to belittle a person, you must first really look down on this person, otherwise how to belittle? Therefore, He Jin thought that Li Qin's appointment of the emperor's eldest son as an uncle was really a very cheap thing for their He family.

But the people in the palace don't think so, the concubines in the palace all look at the face of the emperor Liu Hong, how much Liu Hong values Li Qin, everyone in the palace knows that Liu Hong almost thinks that Li Qin is the number one military general in the world, and regards him as a good general given to him by God, and a meritorious minister who defends his throne. Huang Yanjing thinks so and values Li Qin so much, and the concubines in the palace naturally think that Li Qin is amazing!

Therefore, as soon as Empress He heard that she wanted to have a nepotistic relationship with Li Qin, she immediately agreed, willing to recognize Li Qin as a brother, and thought that in the future, the eldest son of the emperor would succeed to the throne, and He Jin, his own uncle in Beijing, would be relied on, and Li Qin, a fake uncle, would be able to sit firmly on the throne outside Beijing.

He Jin listened to his daughter's words and said to his wife: "It's really unimaginable, the queen actually agreed, she is not afraid of dropping the price, recognizing people like Li Qin as brothers, what's so good, it's insulting to the identity of our emperor's relatives and relatives!" ”

Mrs. He said: "Listen to me, yes, I'll ask you what Niangniang means, how is it, this is right!" You can't just think about it, you have to know what the mother thinks! Whether you want to or not, Niangniang's words are always to be listened to, and we can count on her! ”

He Jin had no choice but to agree, find someone to revise the He family tree, and add Li Qin's mother He to it. He comforted himself that Li Qin was also a descendant of Li Guang, and it was not an insult to the He family. asked people to prepare a lot of gifts according to Yuan Shao's idea to win over Li Qin.

Yuan Shao learned that He Jin asked for the post of Qincha for him, and he was very happy in his heart, at this time he was not a big warlord in the future, he was in the prime of life, and he wanted to do a career, and now the most famous military general in the world is Li Qin, not to mention that he is younger than him, he has become a captain of Huqiang, in charge of the military power of a state, and there are few military attachΓ©s of the Han Dynasty who can overshadow Li Qin except for the captain of Si Li, even if it is a figure like Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke, he has to give Li Qin some face, he really wants to see what kind of character Li Qin is, Li Lang's most righteous sentence, is it a false news or a fact!

In the court, things have always been procrastinated, what can be done today, will definitely not be done today, it has to be delayed until tomorrow, and if it can be delayed until tomorrow, then it has to be delayed until the day after tomorrow, procrastination is the norm, and vigorous and resolute action is the abnormal state, especially when Yuan Shao became a messenger, and the ten permanent servants desperately dragged their feet, the matter was even more dragged on, and the matter of getting the emergency document of the state was merged, and the matter of sending Li Qin to cross the border to suppress it was delayed for a period of time, and it was finalized.

By the time Yuan Shao was finally able to go on the road, it was already the beginning of spring in the second year, and if he walked slowly on the road, it was estimated that when he arrived in Liangzhou, grass would grow in the ground!

Yuan Shao was helpless when things were dragged out of Beijing, but once he left Beijing, he immediately accelerated his speed and urged the convoy to go to Liangzhou and Fujiaobao overnight.

Fort Fujiao.

The news that the imperial court promoted Li Qin to be the captain of Huqiang has long been spread, and the officialdom of Liangzhou knows that Li Qin is the captain of Huqiang, and they also treat him like this, but the official appointment of the holy decree has not yet been delivered, so Li Qin can't go to Longxian to take up a post, so he can only stay in Fujiao Fort, but he can do it again to expand the army, and no one will look for his fault.

It doesn't matter if someone finds fault, Zhang Qin, who thinks he is the protector of Fujiao, can settle all opposition forces, whoever dares to find Li Qin's stubble, he Zhang Dashen will find whomever stubble, absolutely without procrastination, he will definitely be resolute.

This time, Li Qin decided to expand the army to 10,000 people, in fact, as a captain of the Qiang Guard, it is not necessary to have a direct army, when going out to fight, the Captain of the Qiang often recruits soldiers from various counties to form the Qiang Protector Army to suppress the rebellion, but because the successive Qiang Captains suppressed the Qiang Department too cruelly, under the bloody massacre, not only did not alleviate the rebellion of the Qiang people, but intensified, and the rebellion continued for many years.

As soon as there are many wars, the number of troops will naturally increase, and it is not possible to gather the soldiers and horses of the counties every time, and the soldiers and horses of the counties will be recruited, and the soldiers and horses of the counties will be recruited just after a battle, and the next battle will start again, and the expenses of the counties that are scattered are too great to bear. Therefore, the captain of Huqiang gradually had his own direct subordinate troops, and the Liangzhou Assassin Shi allocated food and salary, and the number of people in Tuntian near Longxian County was capped, not more than 10,000.

Leng Zheng was defeated and died, and his Qiang guards suffered heavy losses, Li Qin did not accept them all, but picked out the strong Qiang guards, about 3,000 people, and incorporated them into the Fujiao Army, plus the original more than 2,000 Fujiao soldiers, which is more than 5,000 and nearly 6,000 people. Li Qin converted 1,000 auxiliary soldiers into soldiers of the Fujiao Army, so that there were nearly 7,000 Fujiao soldiers.

The remaining 3,000 people, Li Qin was divided into two, and the quota of 1,000 people was distributed to each county, and the county guards would naturally send the children of their relatives in order to allow their forces to enter the Fujiao Army, so as to strengthen Li Qin's control over the counties, and the remaining places would be recruited from the Qiang tribe.

Don't look at Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou with a large number of Qiang and Hu rebels, in fact, the Qiang tribes in Liangzhou are not united, especially the small Qiang tribes betrayed by them, just took advantage of the opportunity of Li Qin's recruitment to set things right, wash away the name of rebellion and become an official army, and Li Qin also took the opportunity to win over the Qiang people in Liangzhou, so that they could fight in unity under his banner and strengthen unity.

In less than a month, Li Qin recruited all the soldiers, reorganized them, and began training, and now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is getting closer and closer, he does not dare to delay time, and if he can train the army quickly, then as soon as possible, everything should be done sooner rather than later.

After another two months, although the spring in Beidi County came late, but it has also been in full bloom, the people of Fujiao Fort went to the field to cultivate, if nothing else, then this year is estimated to be another bumper harvest year, even if the population in the fort has increased sharply, there is not much grain and grass accumulated, but it is enough to chew and wrap for a year, but it is not difficult.

At this time, Li Qin was watching the soldiers perform on the military field of the school, and someone came to report that the Qin mission of the imperial court had arrived, and it was only fifty miles away from Fujiao Fort, and the Yulin army that was fighting in front had already arrived.

When Li Qin heard this, he immediately called someone to call Yu Linjun, who reported the news, and asked, "Lord Qincha came to my Fujiao Fort, did you come directly?" Why didn't Longxian send someone to inform me? ”

When Yu Linjun saw the famous Li Qin, he was naturally very respectful and replied: "Back to General Li's words, Lord Qincha was in a hurry and was afraid of delaying the big event, so he came directly and did not go to Longxian. ”

"Who came to give the decree?" Li Qin was a little puzzled, if it was a eunuch who came to announce the decree, then Zhang Qin would have to babble for a long time in advance, but this time Zhang Qin didn't make any moves, could it be that he was not a eunuch?

Yu Lin Jun said: "It's General Yuan, General Yuan is secretive, the words are at the beginning, and the official worships the position of General Zhonglang!" ”

Li Qin sighed and said with a smile: "Is it Yuan Shao?" How could it be him, he really looks down on me! He came to the end of the Han Dynasty and met a lot of celebrities, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be a messenger for himself.

Yu Linjun hurriedly said: "General Li, or will the last general repay General Yuan?" According to the distance, he should arrive today, and General Yuan walked very fast. ”

"Welcome, let's go together!" Li Qin called Meng Mu and asked him to prepare a banquet for Yuan Shao, and sent someone to inform the county guard Tang Jie, so he took a group of generals and went on the road to meet Yuan Shao.

The welcoming procession of more than 100 people walked less than 20 miles when they saw a large group of chariots and horses coming in front, and it seemed that this time they had brought a lot of gifts. The Yulin army galloped out and went to report to Yuan Shao first.

After a short time, a few horsemen rushed towards Li Qin, and the first one was dignified, dressed as a general, and it seemed to be Yuan Shao. Li Qin had a smile on his face and slapped his horse to meet him.

Far away, I heard Yuan Shao shouting on the horse: "It's General Li in front?" A certain Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, this is polite, I have heard the name of General Li for a long time, like thunder, and now I have seen the heroic posture of General Li, and he is really a hero! ”

Li Qin Yile, this Yuan Shao is so affectionate, it seems that he is here to win me over!
