Chapter 190: The Metropolitan Governor is coming
In the Daliuhe generation in the territory of Houjian, a full 100,000 troops were gathered.
In addition to the Xiliang Army, which was originally stationed here, there was also the grassland cavalry army that had not been over for a long time, almost across the river, and Wanyan Chilie's subordinates could clearly see a number of grassland cavalry troops in different clothes, whistling past under their noses.
What made Wanyan Chilie even more suspicious was that Lin Han, who commanded the army on the Western Front, went to the front line of the Daliu River in person regardless of the battle situation in Chaozhou and Gaozhou, could it be that he wanted to join forces with Wei Ban to break through from his side? After thinking of this, Wanyan Chilie could be said to be like a great enemy, gathering all his forces on the front line of the Daliu River, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The reason why Wei Ban and Lin Han, the two powerful palm seal officials, gathered here was of course not to show off their might to Wanyan Chilie, but to simply train soldiers and practice martial arts, and at the same time, it was also to welcome Lan Yu, the governor of the post-conquest after the conquest, who was personally appointed by Xiao Yu.
Lan Yu and Xiao Yu are generally from high-ranking families. Xiao Yu's ancestor Xiao Lin and Lan Yu's ancestor Lan Canghai were once ministers of the same dynasty, Xiao Lin was the official to the Secret Guard Governor, and was posthumously awarded the prince of the county after his death. Lan Canghai also served as the governor of the capital, and had conquered the grassland with the other two governors Feng Zhang and Fu Sheng, Lan Canghai led the army across the Wusi Plain, until the attack on the shore of Biluo Lake, and defeated Lin Yinping's ancestor Lin Shi, forcing the grassland Khan king to sign an alliance under the city, and considered himself to belong to the Dazheng court and was named the king of Zhenbei.
If you calculate it carefully, Lan Yu is still the queen of the gate, and now it is logical to replace Xiao Yu in charge of the northwest expedition and build a large army.
It is also ironic to say that the so-called general trend of the world has never really been related to tens of millions of people? It has always been played by those few families and surnames, hundreds of years ago, and hundreds of years later.
Lan Yu was appointed by Xiao Yu as the governor of the post-conquest after the conquest, standing out from the crowd of palm seal officials, and becoming another governor of the northwest after Xu Lin. Although Lan Yu's conquest of the Metropolitan Governor is different from Xu Lin's Metropolitan Governor, the essence is the same, the official residence is a quality, and it is superior to others in terms of name and status. It can be said that Lan Yu is now the only person in the Northwest officialdom who can match Xu Lin in terms of status, which has also become a foreshadowing for Xiao Yu to promote civil officials and military attaches in the future.
Of course, Wei Ban and Lin Han didn't think about it that long-term, especially Lin Han, who instinctively felt that Xiao Yu didn't trust him, so he sent Lan Yu to restrain himself, he didn't dare to be angry with Xiao Yu, but he aimed all his grievances at Lan Yu. This school military exercise was proposed by Lin Han, and one was to make it a little more solemn to show his attention to Lin Han and save him from being blamed by Xiao Yu afterwards. The second is to give Lan Yu a dismount thought, you must know that 130,000 of the 170,000 army are grassland cavalry, Lin Han is one of the few men in the Lin family, who does the grassland cavalry not listen to him? This is not your Lan Yu's territory, the Metropolitan Governor sounds very majestic, but in my Lin Han's army, it is just a showcase.
It's just that it doesn't matter if it's a show, or a real shelf, Lan Yu is the governor appointed by Xiao Yu himself after all, if Lin Han openly opposes Lan Yu, it will be tantamount to slapping Xiao Yu's face, he doesn't have such a big courage, and he doesn't have such a big confidence, so he still has to let Lan Yu get by in terms of face.
Therefore, when Lan Yu arrived here, tens of thousands of cavalry dismounted to meet the Grand Governor, and such a scene could not be described as spectacular.
Today's blue jade riding horse and wearing armor not only does not have the funny feeling of ordinary literati wearing armor, but undoubtedly shows the bearing of Confucian generals. There were nearly 100 guards around him, and Tang Chunyu, Mingchen and others were personally accompanied.
Over this period of time, Tang Chunyu and Mingchen have also learned the arrogance of the grassland cavalry and Lin Han's domineering, Tang Chunyu is better, after all, he has worked with Lin Han, and with this incense, Lin Han always has to leave a little leeway, but in the face of Mingchen, Lin Han has some hostility in his heart, without him, just because Mingchen made a career because of Xiao Jin, in the eyes of outsiders, Mingchen is a person from Xiao Jin's faction.
In Lin Han's heart, only Xiao Jin can really compete with himself, because no matter how high and powerful the others are, they are all "outsiders" in the final analysis, only Lin Han and Xiao Jin are "their own people", one is Xiao Yu's half-brother, and the other is Xiao Yu's brother-in-law. Since ancient times, there have been three major kinship, father, mother, and wife. Now Xiao Yu's maternal family has been wiped out, only his father and wife are left, Xiao Jin belongs to his father's family, Lin Han belongs to his wife's family, if one day, Xiao Yu can ascend the throne as the emperor, facing the south and turning his back to the north, they are real relatives of the emperor. So although the two of them are not visible on the face, they have actually begun to be hostile to each other secretly.
Lan Yu raised his hand and said in shock, "Get up, get on the horse!"
The sound reached the ears of every soldier clearly.
Tens of thousands of cavalry troops turned over their horses almost at the same time, and the grassland cavalry was even faster than the Xiliang army, and the whole movement was like a cloud, and it was impossible to see half a minute of stagnation and sluggishness.
Lan Yu looked at the two palm seal officers not far from him, and talked with a smile, "Since the start of the war in Houjian, my northwest army and the coalition army of the five kings of Houjian have fought more than ten large and small battles before and after, winning more and losing less, and the five kings alliance army has been defeated and retreated, and the two palm seal officers can be said to have made great contributions. These princes are all in their eyes and in their hearts. The reason why the prince sent me Lan someone to serve as the governor of the capital after the conquest was not because he couldn't trust the ability of the two palm seals to command the army, nor did he think that I Lan someone was like him, let alone because he couldn't trust anyone. It's just that there is an old saying that there is no double sun, there are no two masters in the country, and the same is true of our army, the two palm seal officials have the same official position and the same rank, if they disagree, you have an idea, I have an idea, who do you listen to? ”
Hearing this, Wei Ban and Ming Chen quietly glanced at each other, and then looked at the first person in the Zhongdu Wenchen, and they all had to put away their contempt.
Tang Chunyu sighed secretly, the newly appointed Metropolitan Governor of Lan is worthy of being regarded as a right-hand man by Xiao Yu, not to mention other skills, just talking about it, taking into account all aspects, which can be called a drop of water.
Lin Han's face sank like water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Lan Yu then said leisurely: "Of course, the two palm seal officials can't really not put me Lan someone in their eyes, it's a small matter to lose my Lan someone's face, and it hurts our prince's face, if the prince is unhappy, my Lan Yu naturally wants to take off the official hat of this metropolitan governor, and continue to go back to Zhongdu to be my bookkeeper, but I don't know if the two of you can let go of the official hat on the top of your head?"
Wei Ban and Lin Han were both silent.
Lan Yu smiled and said: "You are all old men who follow the prince, what kind of temperament the prince is, I think they all know it, if anyone thinks that our prince is a foolish lord, then he must be prepared to be taken off the official hat by our prince, so ah, this time I Lan someone came to take up the post, I don't want to use this war to promote anyone, or belittle anyone, I just want to do the errand assigned by the prince properly, give the prince a comfort, and also give the official hat on his head a peace." I just wonder if you two think the same way?"
Wei Ban said softly: "The last general naturally has the same idea as the Grand Duke. ”
Lan Yu smiled: "Okay, Wei Dudu's idea is good, we are all ministers under the prince, if the prince is the owner, we are the shopkeeper who takes care of the business for the owner, and we want to make money, there is no reason to pay the owner silver, don't you say?"
The smile on Lan Yu's face suddenly fell, and he said solemnly: "Now that Murong Yan has invaded the territory of Yan Honglie's jurisdiction, then the governor of this capital will issue the first military order after officially taking office, and order Lin Han, the governor of the left capital, and Wei Ban, the governor of the right capital, to fight together, cross the Daliu River within one month, and attack the territory of Yan Chilie, if you can't enter the lair of Yan Chilie, then the military law will be engaged, starting with me Lan!"
The four high-ranking officials in the northwest present looked at each other, and after a short silence, it was Wei Ban who took the lead in breaking the silence and said in a deep voice: "The last general is the commander of the military order." ”
Lan Yu nodded and looked at Lin Han with a faint smile.
Lin Han was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Lin Han should also obey the orders of the Grand Overseer!"
