Longxi County, a sheep intestine trail leading to the border.

Thirty thousand people are building a gallop road under the sun, which will lead to the most important fortress in the north, Jincheng (Lanzhou), and it is said that the county guards who originally built Jincheng looked at the dangerous place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and originally took the meaning from Jincheng soup pool.

That small city was not taken seriously, several invasions of the Right Xianwang were burned and abandoned, repeatedly built and repeatedly damaged, the scale has always been maintained at a scale greater than that of Fengsui and smaller than the border city, and the garrison of the county soldiers never exceeded 300 people.

Cao Shi stationed in the first time on the drastic reform, demolition of Longxi County a number of unreasonable military fortresses, re-establishment of Di Dao City as the core of three vertical and three horizontal nine interdependent large military fortress, Jincheng is the largest military fortress on the back, in the north of the Great Xia City, Yuzhong City between the protruding part, directly facing the north of the Xiu Tu Wang's grassland activity area.

The construction of the Chi Road is as early as last year's plan, before the winter to complete the preliminary tamping of the Chi Road Road, after the winter frozen soil spring cedar soft and then carry out the second rammed earth compaction, fortunately, the process of ramming the earth does not need to manually carry the stump down to smash, with the help of the relationship between the Shaofu to call the construction of Chang'an City Complex used in the big stone roller, with animal power and winch to pull the fiber rope to pull the heavy solid roller to crush and tamp the ground, the work efficiency is dozens of times faster than before.

In the past, it took more than 100,000 people to build a road in the county for five years and seven years, and now 30,000 people can almost use it in less than a year, and now there is no need to call the people of the county to rely only on the population of the county, and the role of 30,000 people is greater than that of 100,000 people, and the speed of the project is accelerated several times according to the standard of not reducing the quality of the road.

What made the people most happy was that the Han army prepared rations for them, and it was great news that they did not have to consume their own poor food reserves. The residents of this county suddenly improved their evaluation of the image of this Han army, and the civilians of Longxi, who were indifferent to the people of other counties in the past, would also give a few thumbs up to the black Han cavalry.

Che Riding General's Mansion.

The master father kept reporting the construction progress of Longxi: "The last half month has been going smoothly. It is expected that the construction period will be shortened by about 10 days, and the whole line can be completed before the beginning of summer at the earliest. The middle section of the Chidao is deliberately preemptively repaired and the supply channel is being repaired, and Jincheng, Daxia, and Yuzhong are also being built urgently, and it will not be fully opened until autumn at the earliest......"

"Where is the Taishou of Longxi?"

"Li Taishou said that he was going home to visit his old mother, and he was not in Didao City in the past few days."

Cao Shi frowned, he knew that Li Guang, an old slippery head, had received hints from the imperial court, and had always been disobedient to his command, because the imperial court intended to reuse the descendants of their old Li family, and his cousin Li Cai had a bright future, and now served as a quartermaster in charge of grain and grass in Wei Qing's Northern Army. The rank is only one line lower than Lieutenant Xue Ze, General Gongsun Ao, and General Li Xi, and is equivalent to the fourth deputy general.

Li Guang's eldest son, Li Danghu, also boiled out, and served as the chief officer of the military order in the Northern Army left in Chang'an, and the order was issued after Lieutenant Xue Ze followed Wei Qing to the north, and the 50,000 Northern Army soldiers who stayed in Chang'an were not under the jurisdiction of the lieutenant It was a dish of the emperor, and there was no problem with how the Son of Heaven wanted to fiddle with it.

Li Guang's second son has long been a cavalry captain, a few months ago the Northern Army purged, Li Dang was also kicked out of the Northern Army to go home to serve his father, but his father Li Guang is a talent that the emperor values more. Within a month of returning home, he was brought to Lang Zhong by an edict from the imperial court to match the middle doctor, and it was pitiful to see that he was a cavalry lieutenant who couldn't figure out what it would be like to put down his knife and gun and wear a court uniform.

In short, Li Guang developed, and seeing that he made a meritorious service, the imperial court turned his 10,000-year-old Guannei Marquis into a liehou. Lao Li Guang didn't want to mention how happy and comfortable he was, what kind of bird's general didn't put it in his eyes at all, thinking that he Lao Li also admired Zhou Yafu at the beginning. Cao Shi is just a yellow-mouthed son, what's so great.

Cao Shi can roughly feel the temper of the Li family, and Li Guang boasts that he is the second and third in the world. The self-confidence is bursting, that is, this flying general who can't rub a little sand in his eyes, if you change your normal thinking, you really can't blow it Emperor Wen of Han patted him on the shoulder and said You were born when you were born in the founding of the country, and you were the Marquis of Wanhu. God knows how Cao Shen and Zhang Liang, the two marquis of ten thousand households, became the third marquis of ten thousand households in the early Han Dynasty.

"That's it, that's it! It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so let him go...... Let him go! ”

Yuan Chong didn't understand the words with unknown meanings, and looked at the master father suspiciously and found that he didn't understand very well, and the two secretly exchanged views with their eyes suspiciously, Longxi Taishou Li Guang was blatantly slacking off, and every time he found Taishou to ask about government affairs, he deduced that he was unwell, and the general of the Che Cavalry basically took over the full power of Longxi County, which was not a good sign.

The emperor's hint had an effect on the bureaucracy, and the relationship between the imperial court, which had been cooperating for many years, was cut off, and in addition to the two key departments controlled by the Shaofu and the Great Nongling, the two important departments controlled by the princes would also give assistance, and the other places gradually ignored the relevant requests for assistance put forward by the chariot generals, in addition to the military supplies rationed by the imperial court, the chariot general's palace would receive a training fee from the imperial court, as well as two sets of winter and summer clothing for soldiers and officers, and the arsenal was reissued at any time according to the defects.

Cao Shi's habit is to take the training money given by the imperial court to put on customized clothing for the cavalry, including this set of all-black armor is what he used the training fee and the imperial court grant granted by the Son of Heaven to get it, and now he wants to customize two sets of pure wool velvet armor linings and can't find anyone to pick them up, so he can only rely on the Pingyang Garment Workshop, which has not been in contact with the wool fleece lining, to find a way to solve it himself.

Yuan Chong proposed: "General, how about you ask the Son of Heaven to change the Taishou?" ”

"Does it give people a very arrogant feeling? Generals need to keep a low profile as much as possible to reduce the pressure of public opinion. Master Father Yan immediately retorted.

Yuan Chong said: "Submit the record of the words and deeds of the Taishou of Longxi to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to send the Taishou who is willing to cooperate and capable to preside over the government affairs of Longxi County, which is also a last resort. ”

"Isn't that good? Obviously, Li Guang doesn't ask about government affairs, how can he splash this basin of dirty water on the general, when I was studying in Taixue, public opinion generally spoke highly of the general. "After graduating from Taixue, he entered the shogunate of the Che Cavalry General as a grassroots position, but he was lucky to be born in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and as soon as he came up, he served as Cao Shi's bodyguard and served as a staff member, with similar responsibilities as a military secretary.

The master father reciprocated kindness to the drama letter, and said with a smile: "This time and that time! In the past, the general was a hero who was in the limelight, but now the general is a thorn in the thorn that His Majesty does not like, and the change of public opinion will be like a white cloud in the sky. ”

Ji Xin shook his head, he couldn't figure out the complicated politics of the court, but he just experienced the increasingly difficult situation from the side of the general of the chariot cavalry, those middle and senior bureaucrats seemed to be disapprehensive of the brand of the general of the chariot cavalry, and the envoys of the edict sent by the imperial court every once in a while were all indifferent expressions, which was inconceivable a few years ago.

Fortunately, the villagers in the grassroots Lu are full of 120,000 points of respect for the Che Cai General, and there are only a few criticisms among the people in Longxi, and nine out of ten people believe that the Che Cai General will defeat the Right Xian King who is entrenched in the northwest of Longxi, and from his understanding, the people of Guanzhong have a very high evaluation of the Che Cai General, mainly thanks to the good reputation accumulated by the Pingyang Marquis over the years, and the growth of grain production in Guanzhong is inseparable from the generosity and selflessness of the Pingyang Hou.

Yuan Chong said anxiously: "General, Li Taishou's passive slackness is more obvious, we can't let his heart have a side negative cooperation, which will not only damage your reputation but also affect the next plan, in the next is really worried that the selfish Taishou is too shou to know the plan, will it directly interfere with the implementation of our plan, is affected by unexpected factors, a move is not bad." ”

Cao Shi fell into deep thought.

He attaches great importance to Li Guang's talent, the soldier's love of bragging is not a big problem, he loves to drink, military discipline is lazy, command is not according to the routine and other problems can be tolerated, with his reputation, there will be a lot of bonuses to guard the border counties, but unfortunately can not get the full support of General Fei, Li Guang is a guard in the era of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, in terms of age is slightly younger than the Hou Zhou Yafu and the late Pingyang Hou Cao Qi, the seniority is very old, the prestige in the army is also very high, and he looks down on the young in the army at all, even if it is Cao Shi, it is difficult to enter his eyes.

The proud Li Guang only has the emperor in his eyes, this is the lesson of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu that year, Li Guang dared to ignore the greeting of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and served as a general under Liu Wumen, the king of Liang Xiao, and he was killed by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to take away the liehou who was originally going to be feuded, since then it has been almost 20 years, Li Guang has been rotating in the border county as a Taishou for most of the circle, training a group of cavalry who can fight well, and there are not a few who have made meritorious contributions to the enemy, but there is no slightest rumor of the marquis, this loss makes Li Guangji dare not forget it for the rest of his life.

Li Guang is difficult to seal, how can it not be Li Guang's personal tragedy, the tragic price paid for his arrogance.

Cao Chang sighed and gave up the hesitation in his heart: "Where is Ning Cheng in office now?" ”

The master's father replied shrewdly: "Last winter, the imperial court made adjustments to the border counties, and Ning Cheng was transferred to Yuyang County as the taishou, and it is said that he has done a good job for nearly half a year. ”

"Last month's Di reported that Lang Zhongling Shi Jian is about to die, and His Majesty wants to replace Lang Zhongling with a new one?"

Yuan Chong said awe-inspiringly: "What the general said is good. ”

"Write a letter in my name, Longxi County Taishou Li Guang's military exploits are brilliant and high, and the minister recommended Li Guangwei Lang Zhongling to share his majesty's worries and solve problems, and the Taishou of Longxi County suggested that the Taishou adjacent to the Xiongnu border choose one person, it is best to be able to recruit a good general to defend the town, and the minister is sure to hit the Xiongnu right Xianwang."

The master father bowed his head and finished writing, blew dry the ink, stamped the seal of the general of the chariot cavalry, folded it and stuffed it into the envelope, added fire paint, and immediately sent the messenger to Chang'an for 800 miles.

"General, why don't you recommend Ning Cheng but a general who can fight well?"

Cao Shi looked at the drama letter and smiled: "I said that recommending Ning Cheng is not to expose my intentions, but the Son of Heaven will not give me Ning Cheng, I said that I want to be a general who can fight well, a radish and a pit in the northern border counties, how can Your Majesty be willing to give it to me, and I will not accept it if I am an ordinary general, only Ning Cheng is my guarantee There is no complaint to say, do you understand?"
