One hundred and thirty-one, Zhenxi Army
Hearing that Yingfeng had the idea of keeping vigil together, Zimo stretched out his hand to draw his sword, but Yingfeng hurriedly avoided it, and his lie came as soon as he opened his mouth, "I don't have any thoughts about my junior sister, besides, I already have a fiancΓ©e, and I will get married when the day comes!" β
Zimo looked at Yingfeng suspiciously, "Where is the marriage book?" β
Yingfeng said in his heart, why is this kid so suspicious, but now he can only get off the donkey down the slope, "The marriage book is naturally in the hands of the elders." He casually took out a jade pendant from his arms, "You see this is a token." β
Zimo glanced at the jade pendant, and the murderous aura was even heavier, "Do you think that I don't recognize jade?" β
Yingfeng patted his head, he was in a hurry, and he was determined to admire the twin badgers that were connected to each other, and the one he took out was a hundred bats.
Yingfeng wanted to defend again, but Zimo's face sank like water, "You don't want to talk again." It's just a waste of words. β
Yingfeng smiled awkwardly, "What I said is not all lies. β
Zimo knew that Yingfeng was right. The master and the uncle seemed to have been watching them secretly, as long as these two were still there, Yingfeng would not have the courage to harm the rain.
The two of them were facing Mai Mang here, and Zhu Rong ran in panting, talking to Zi Molian.
"Tuoba Tao is here." Zimo glanced at Ying Yu and said to Yingfeng, "You go and drag him." β
Yingfeng pouted, "I don't have a 'please' word to ask my senior brother for help." But he went to the front yard as he was told.
Yingfeng walked all the way to the front yard. All sorts of thoughts were jumping up and down in my head. It was the master's intention for him to stay by the side of the inviting rain.
The winner came with the news that Liu Song's second prince, Liu Yizhen, had been demoted to a concubine by Sikong Xu Xianzhi. In this way, once the current young emperor abdicates, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, it is the third prince Liu Yilong who will naturally become the new emperor.
In other words, Liu Yilong's path to the throne has been paved, and he can replace the young emperor with only one opportunity to raise troops to seize the throne. At this juncture, there must be no difference between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. Yingfeng's task is not simply to spy on the intelligence of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but more importantly, to let the Northern Wei Dynasty fight with Rouran, so that the Northern Wei Dynasty will have no time to make waves when the old and new emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty are replaced.
Yingfeng had just walked to the front yard, and Tuoba Tao was coming in from the front of the post house. Seeing that it was Yingfeng who came to welcome people, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Isn't this Song man a captive of Tan Zhaoyu? How can you not only move freely, but also come out to welcome guests for Tan Zhaoyu?
Yingfeng didn't plan to give Tuoba Tao a chance to ask, "Xian Ji is still freshening up, please wait in the courtyard for His Majesty Emperor Wei." β
Tuoba Tao frowned, what does this mean, not even allowed to enter the backyard? But after Yingfeng finished speaking, he stood on one side, looking like I didn't know if you asked me. Tuoba Tao was taken aback and had to stand in place in the courtyard.
Yingfeng looked at Tuoba Tao, and secretly laughed in his heart, it was really a chick, let him wait, and he stood dryly and waited. How can this please a girl? To treat women, they must be suave, chic, talented, and tender...... It seems that Tan Invite Yu doesn't eat this set......
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Ying Yu walked out of the backyard in a daze.
Yingfeng hurriedly said, "Xian Ji, look at you. Even though he doesn't have a lot of alcohol, he is still greedy for a glass. His Majesty the Emperor Wei waited bitterly. β
Invite the rain to confuse, I drank yesterday? She turned her face to look at Zimo. Zimo could only nod helplessly.
Now that all the people had arrived, they set out without delay. Inviting Rain's breakfast could only be eaten in the carriage.
Although Tuoba Tao said that the palace was in the name of patrolling the camp and praying, in fact, he did not plan to inspect all the large camps of the Wei Dynasty. Instead, he went straight to the Zhenxi Army camp in the Hetao area after leaving Pingcheng.
will go directly to the Zhenxi Army instead of the Dingzhong Army directly under the Son of Heaven, mainly because the Hetao area borders on Rouran, and if there is any movement in Rouran, it is easiest to get news there. Another reason is that the Zhenxi Army Camp can be said to have been established by Tuoba Tao himself. If you talk about intimacy, I'm afraid it's closer than Dingzhongjun.
Four years ago, Tuoba Tao, who was only eleven years old and only a prince, was ordered to rectify the border affairs of Rouran. At that time, the Zhenxi Army established was composed of the Xiongnu, Gaoche and other miscellaneous Hu plus Wei military households, and the personnel were chaotic, which could be described as having no discipline.
Tuoba Tao stayed in the Zhenxi Army for nearly a year, and the general affairs were well organized. Although it was established by himself, Tuoba Tao also knew that the Zhenxi Army was actually the weakest of the armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The main reason for the weakness is the source of soldiers. The Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the military household system, and all weapons, horses, and armor were provided by the military households themselves. When encountering military families from poor families, they could not afford to buy weapons and armor when they were recruited by the imperial court, and they wore straw sandals and hoes when they arrived on the battlefield.
The Zhenxi Army was remote, with little oil and water, and most of the conscripts were military households in poor areas. Needless to say, the Huns and other miscellaneous Hus would not come to join the Wei army if they survived. This made the Zhenxi Army inferior to other military camps in armament at the beginning.
For so many years, the reason why the weakest Zhenxi Army has been allowed to guard the Hetao area is because Rouran, as the enemy, is weaker. Although Rouran occupies a wide area, in addition to good horses and good riding and shooting, there is nothing particularly worthy of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Rouran people were often guerrilla troops, and they ran away after grabbing the Great Wei border. Nine times out of ten, when the western army sent troops to intercept them, they had already run into the grassland and disappeared. It was rare to be caught by the Zhenxi army, and what was captured was either a broken wooden bow or a leather case for throwing stones. Even an iron knife is hard to come by.
This is actually another reason why the Xianbei nobles don't want to attack Rouran. The officials and nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have the imperial court, and their own troops relied on themselves to feed the war. worked hard to fight Rouran, but couldn't grab anything, which is equivalent to doing white work for the emperor. This kind of thing is something that no one who understands is willing to do.
When Tuoba Tao and his party arrived at the military camp in Zhenxi, they attracted earth-shattering cheers from the whole battalion. His Majesty the Emperor did not go to the strongest army to conquer the south, nor did he go to the Dingzhong army that defended Gyeonggi, let alone the Andong army, which only looted a small country like Goguryi, but directly came to the Zhenxi army.
What does this mean? It shows that the Zhenxi Army is going to turn over!
Lu Zhen, the commander of the Zhenxi Army, personally led people to kneel five miles outside the camp to greet Tuoba Tao. If you want to say that this Lu Zhen, he is actually not a Xianbei person. He was the son of Shi Lu Luohou, the governor of Qin, and because he was born tall and strong, he was favored by Tuoba Tao at a glance and left him in the Zhenxi army. Guarding the border passes, pursuing Rouran, Lu Zhen has made a lot of achievements in recent years, and after Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, he was appointed as the commander of the Zhenxi Army.
Although the Zhenxi Army is a mess that everyone avoids, it may be the commander of the Han people, which also shows that Tuoba Tao values him.
Tuoba Tao was very happy to see Lu Zhen, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Lu Zhen, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" It's time to drink today! β
