The sun is scorching, and the early summer in the north is already a little unbearable. The soldiers who practiced under the scorching sun would definitely complain, and Han Xin simply let him take a summer break in the grove next to the school training ground.

When the new Lord was so considerate of his soldiers, all the people cheered. After lunch, they found the shade of the trees in groups of three or two, and lay down to sleep.

Han Xin also found a place to lie down in the shade of a tree, he was the chief general in the army, so naturally no one would come to grab a place with him without interest. They were far away from him, and they did not dare to disturb his purity.

Han Xin was very fond of the newly harvested white horse, led it to the shade of the tree, fed it some grass and water, and gently stroked its mane with his right hand to smooth it. The white horse had half-closed eyes, looking very satisfied with Han Xin's flattery, and snorted lightly from time to time, as if he was enjoying it very much.

Han Xin leaned against the tree, alienating the mane of the white horse, while looking at Tian Shi, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed under the tree not far away. He knew in his heart that what he had done in the morning would only be recognized by the soldiers, but it would be too early to say that he had established prestige in the army.

The key is still in one person, that is, the field market in front of you.

Tian Shi has been in the Northern Army for nearly 20 years, most of the time in the Fifth Battalion Erqu, and after the death of his predecessor Qu Hou, he has been acting as the deputy general in the second song, and his prestige in the second song is far from being comparable to Han Xin, a newcomer. Without his approval, Han Xin could not really control this army. It's better to be in leisure, but if the main general and deputy general are separated in wartime, it is a taboo for marching.

If Han Xin wanted to use this army as the starting point of his deeds, he would have to subdue Natian City no matter what.

Han Xin gently patted the horse's neck, let go of the reins on the horse's head, thought about the words in his heart, and slowly paced towards Tian Shi.

When he was still a few steps away, Tian Shi felt someone approaching, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Han Xin, and he was slightly stunned.

"Lord Tian." Han Xin said hello with a smile, Tian Shi barely squeezed a smile, stood up and arched his hand; "Your Excellency, please don't be polite, you are the chief general in the army, and the humble position is only a deputy position, so it's better to call Tian Shi by his name directly."

Han Xin heard the slight sourness in his tone, smiled slightly, and said; "Master Tian, you are a veteran in the army, Han Xin is just a newcomer, and his experience and qualifications are not enough to convince the public, how dare he be big in front of you."

Tian Shi listened to his humble tone, and he didn't have the arrogance of a young man in the morning, so his face eased slightly. The two sat down side by side and spoke casually.

It was the first time for Han Xin to talk to Tian Shi so closely, and after carefully looking at his appearance, he found that Tian Shi's cheekbones were high, and his face seemed to be wider, so that he didn't look like a person from the Central Plains, so he asked casually; "Lord Tian, where are you from?"

Tian Shi's face changed slightly, and he said with some bitterness for a long time; "My father is a Qin soldier stationed at the border pass, and my mother is a Qiang woman."

Background is always a scar in Tian Shi's heart, you must know that in the hearts of the Central Plains people, the status of the Hu people is very low, not to mention his 'mongrel' with impure blood.

Unexpectedly, Han Xin laughed and said; "Heroes don't ask about their origins, but Lord Tian is too worried."

Seeing that Han Xin not only did not show a look of disdain, Tian Shi comforted him with words, looked at him with some gratitude, and even his disgust for him disappeared a lot.

Han Xin patted Tian Shi's mount, "I haven't thanked Lord Tian for the good horse he gave me." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious." Tian Yi said with a smile; "The white horse was originally the king of horses in the wild horses on the grassland, and the divine horse was abnormal, I learned about its traces from the herdsmen by chance, and I took my son to track it for three days and three nights before I caught it. But it's extremely strong, although I can catch it, but I can't tame it, it's still an adult, you have the ability, you can tame it. ”

Han Xin thought: It turned out that no one tamed it, so I dedicated it to me who wanted me to make a fool of myself, no wonder I was so kind, but I didn't expect it to be cheap for nothing.

After a haha, Han Xin didn't say anything, and still smiled; "I'm lucky, too, luck, by the way, I heard from the dog that you are a good rider. I have lived in the Central Plains since I was a child, and my riding skills are not very good. ”

After saying that, Tian Shi returned the salute and said politely: "My lord is serious, how dare Tian take on the word 'advice'." ”

"There's something else I want to ask Lord Tian for help."

Tian Ichi thought to himself, 'It's coming'. In the end, it was a young man, but he couldn't hold his breath, so he almost had something to ask for something with him, so he listened to what he wanted to say.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Han Xin looked at the white horse under the tree not far away and said in a deep voice; "I'd like to ask the adults to help me get a few more good horseshoes in case I need them."

Tian Shi asked in amazement; "Why do you need to prepare a few, the horseshoes that the white horse just nailed will not wear out for a year and a half, and when it is worn out, you can find a blacksmith to nail it again."

Han Xin looked at Tian Shi with a deep smile as if he had a deep meaning; "I'm going to ride it all over the world in the future, and it's always good to be prepared."

"Lord Tian, don't look at this horse is still only confined to Shangjun, in the future, it may not be possible to step on the Yin Mountain, seal the wolf, think that the horse's hooves will be more worn, so I only brought a few more to replace on the grassland."

Tian Shi's body was shocked, and his gaze at Han Xin was complicated. He is not a stupid person, he heard Han Xin's voice, Han Xin wanted to say that he had great ambitions and would not be willing to live in just one district. The underlying meaning is to tell Taichi not to embarrass him everywhere.

Tian Shi suddenly woke up a little, Han Xin sat in the position of Quhou before he was a weak crown, and he must have been greatly appreciated by the handsome. is also strong in martial arts and archery, plus he is quite good at causing accidents, and his future is indeed limitless.

He always felt that Han Xin had robbed him of his position, so he was angry and deliberately embarrassed him. didn't think that this might actually be an opportunity for him, if Tian Shi assisted Han Xin well, when Han Xin became famous in the future, he would naturally be able to rise with the tide.

With this joint, Tian Shi's mood after a heavy day suddenly relaxed, and he found that he was indeed drilling the horns.

Han Xin looked at him with a smile, and saw that he seemed to have realized, so he didn't say anything more, looked at the sun, and said; "Lord Tian, the hour is almost up, let's continue to practice."

Tian Shi stood up, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order." ”

***

When it was time to collect the exercise in the evening, Xi Da sent someone to summon Han Xin. Han Xinbian entrusted the matter of reorganizing the team to Tian Shi, and asked the dog to lead the white horse back to the camp, while his own went to the appointment.

When he arrived at Xi Da's big tent, he found that there were already four people sitting inside, Han Xin also knew Xi Da alone, and the others were also colleagues in the army.

When Xi Da saw Han Xin arrive, he smiled and greeted him. Han Xin bowed and saluted; "Join the Commandery."

"Hey~" Xi Da hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Xin up and said with a smile; "Everyone will be brothers in the future, why be so formal, Han Quhou, please get up quickly."

Han Xin bowed slightly, "My lord, let's call Han Xin's name." ”

Xi Da nodded and smiled, "It's okay, it's cumbersome to call back and forth all the time, come, Han Xin, I'll introduce you to a few brothers." ”

After speaking, he pulled Han Xin to the four of them, and pointed to a man who looked a little Sven and introduced; "This is the marching Sima Qijiang of our fifth battalion."

Na Qi Jiang still looked very young, less than thirty years old, with a faint smile on his face, and nodded at Han Xin friendly. Xi Da pointed to the other two and said: "This is the Quhou Fan Yong of the first song, and this is the Quhou Wu Xie of the third song, the three of you are colleagues, and you should be closer to each other." ”

Han Xin and the three of them greeted each other with a smile, and they knew each other. Qi Jiang is from Zhao, and most of the military Sima is engaged in civilian work in the army, so Qi Jiang seems to have the smell of a civilian official, and he hasn't spoken much, just smiling and listening. Fan Yong is a Yan person, and he looks like a cold-faced man, but he is not prejudiced against Han Xin, but he looks cold to everyone and does not smile. Wu Xie was the opposite, he was bold by nature, and it didn't take long for him to call Han Xin a brother. He, like Jing Jun, the commander of the right battalion, was born in a declining family, but unfortunately his ability and luck were not as good as Jing Jun's.

The five of them chatted for a while, and Xi Da saw that it was getting late, so he patted his stomach and smiled; "What's the point of a few big men sitting and talking, tonight I'll be the east, Baihualou, how about it?"

Hearing Xi Da's words, the other four except Han Xin all showed knowing smiles, and Wu Xie even smiled; "It's rare for the boss to let blood today, and the younger brother is naturally in favor of it, the five-body throw, ah no, it's the six-body throw, hahahaha......"

Han Xin didn't understand much at first, but when he heard Huang Xie's words, he understood what he was going to, and he was honestly a little reluctant to go to that kind of place, but it was not good to spoil everyone's interest, so he had no choice but to follow.

******

Although Shangjun is an important place in the north, its population is not as large as that of Guanzhong and the hinterland of the Central Plains, and its military significance is far greater than its political and economic significance. Therefore, although Fushi is the seat of the county, the specifications are comparable to a small county town in the Central Plains, with only a few simple markets, and most of the people walking back and forth on the streets are soldiers and family members. The few pedestrians made Fu Shi look a little deserted.

However, there is one industry that is surprisingly hot.

Since it was the camp of the Northern Army, there were 60,000 troops stationed all year round, plus the labor of building the Great Wall and transporting grain and grass, so there were not many people, but there was a key problem - there were too many men and very few women. Although there are some military dependents in the city, it is only the treatment of some high-ranking officers, and then the local non-commissioned officers. Most of the soldiers in the army like Xi Da are from far away in Xianyang and the Central Plains.

If there are more men, we must solve the problem of men. The Northern Army was stationed in the desolate Northland for many years, eating poor food, camping everywhere, fighting the most ferocious Huns, and enduring the longing of their families. Sometimes the generals at the top will also turn a blind eye to the robbery of the Hun women by their subordinates, as long as they don't go too far, no one will generally be uninteresting to ask and investigate.

These are just a drop in the bucket and can't solve any problems, so large and small green buildings have taken root in the north. In particular, the skin Shi where the camp is located is a deformed prosperity. The soldiers came to fight outside, and all they carried in their arms was the money earned by licking the blood from the knife edge, and at this time, the Qinglou became their best place to indulge.

If you want to talk about the green building of Fushi City, it is naturally the Baihua Building and the Drunken Moon Pavilion with a beautiful crown.

PS: A little bit of explanation, there are a lot of questions about seeing the nail horseshoe and the wolf Juxu, Jiang Nan is here to talk about my opinion. In fact, I checked a lot of information before writing this, the technology of nailing horseshoe first appeared in the records of the Romans BC, as for when China appeared is not conclusive, there is a more mainstream saying, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, the horseshoe has appeared, so Jiangnan only speculated that seventy years ago at the end of Qin, there may also be. Because it is well known that the Qin people were strict and crazy about weapons, the standardization born in the Western industrial age had appeared in the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago, and the entire Han Dynasty almost completely inherited the perfect system and technology of the Qin Dynasty.

Wolf Juxu Mountain is the holy mountain of the Huns, "Feng" means the meaning of Feng Chan conquest, but in history only Huo Qubing was the only one who did Feng Wolf Juxu. Therefore, the allusion of sealing the wolf Juxu came from the Han Wu period, but before the Han Dynasty, the majority of compatriots in the Central Plains still wanted to do it, such as Comrade Qin Shi Huang, he not only wanted to seal the wolf Juxu, but also wanted to take the skull of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to urinate everywhere on the Wolf Juxu Mountain.
