Chapter 136: The Imperial Horse Army

Chapter 136 The Imperial Horse Army Commands

Lin'an. Kofu.

Gaofu started with a courtyard, and after two years of repair, he bought the properties of some households on the side, and the whole yard was much larger, a bit like a second-grade mansion. But because he wanted to go back to Tongling, but the faΓ§ade was a little more glorious, in addition to these two old men, there were no immediate family members in this Gao Mansion, only a few guards and servants of the Gao family.

Since last year's envoy to Western Xia, Gao Pet's grandfather participated in the wedding of his grandson Gao Pet and the princess of Xixia County and the princess of the prison country, and reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Western Xia, and Zhao Gou gave a high reward to Gao Bailan's envoy. Afterwards, Gao Bairan went back to Tongling to live for a period of time, walked into Tongling, the old man Gao couldn't believe his eyes, through nearly a year of construction, there are many factories here, tall chimneys, busy traffic on the street, prosperous, a thriving atmosphere.

When they arrived at home, the way everyone spoke also changed, the daughter-in-law, their precious grandson, the family that Weng himself threw to them was well governed, and the old father and son felt that they had a good vision, and it could be said that it was their wisest decision to give up the position of the head of the family to their grandson.

The old father and son lived in Tongling for more than two months, and when the time for leave came, they rushed to this Lin'an capital city.

If he hadn't thought that he could hold up for his grandson for two more days in the court and help him on the road, he really wanted to go back to the Gao family in Tongling to live his old lady's life. In the past few days, most of the palace discussions have been about sending troops to Jingxiang, and there is nothing to do, and the official Zhao Gou also seems to be in a lot of spirits, and the big victory of Xianren Pass really makes the people excited.

The official family promoted Wu Jue to the special advancement, and the opening of the palace and the three divisions gave 500 fiefdoms, 100 taels of gold, and 1,000 horses of silk, which is really a big deal, and there has never been such a high reward since Jianyan. This Wu Jue is really good luck, he sent it to the official family when he needed victory the most, when the Fuping War, the Song army was defeated in a battle, this Wu Jue, with more than 1,000 people Foxconn, the monk Yuan, this guard out of a festival envoy, how many levels of Wu Jue official promotion? No one can count them, anyway, he has been promoted from a Fengxiang magistrate to a festival envoy of the Zhenxi Army from Erpin. Shaoxing lost the battle of Raofengguan in the second year, and Hanzhong was lost, but the last blow of the Jin army's retreat when the food was exhausted, so that he had one more Sichuan and Shaanxi Zhaofu system Xuanfu envoy, the victory of this battle, can open the palace with the three divisions. It was a prince, and it suddenly surpassed Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong's envoys of the Sanzhou Festival. Wu Jue is extremely glorious.

If you want to gain fame in these troubled times, it is best to join the army. This Wu Jue, Kun Shizhong, and Yue Fei are role models.

When the old man saw the glory of Wu Jue, he remembered the glory of his ancestors, and also remembered the eldest son Gao Shiyuan who died in the battle at Yanmen Pass.

Thinking of the death of his son Gao Shiyuan, Old Man Gao did not feel sad from his heart.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

The old father and son came out of the study and received the order.

"The emperor's edict: The deputy envoy of the three divisions of the Gaoguan Wendian University Salt and Iron made Gao Bailan go to the temple to face the saint. Chin this. ”

It's afternoon, what is the matter with Zhao Godian going by himself, the old father and son can't figure it out, so they sealed the silver for the eunuch and followed the eunuch to the palace.

Zhao Gou saw Gao Bailan in his office. Gao Bailan couldn't understand when he saw the three words of the main hall, why the emperor's office was called the Qinzheng Palace, was this the emperor's reminder to be diligent in serving the people?

Gao Bailan entered the Qinzheng Palace, and in addition to Zhao Gou in the palace, there was also a privy envoy Zhang Jun.

Gao Bailan knelt down to see the driver, and shouted three long live.

Zhao Gou saw that the old man who was over the age of sixteen did not let him calm down as usual, but looked at Zhang Jun and asked Gao Bailan:

"Gao Aiqing, do you know how many Song troops were left in the desert when your son died in battle?"

This Gao Bailan saw that the official family didn't let him get up, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, and he didn't dare to get up by himself. Raising his head, he replied:

"The official's family, the minister doesn't know how many soldiers are left in the desert. But knowing that some of them were not defeated and surrendered, they have been fighting with the Jin army in the desert. The old father and son remembered that their grandson recruited old Song soldiers and people in Western Xia, and carefully answered the questions of the officials.

"Gao Aiqing, do you have a grandson, Gao Chong, who is 15 years old, what are you doing at home?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister's grandson Gao Zhong is not at home, at least not at home when the minister returned to Beijing in early March. Last year, he went to Dadesert on the orders of his mother to find my Gao family's lost disciples and his father's subordinate soldiers. I don't know what he's doing now. ”

Zhao Gou saw that there was no surprise, and said to Gao Bairan's old father and son:

"Gao Aiqing, flat body, give a seat!" Zhao Gou saw that Old Man Gao knelt in front of him for a long time, and moved his heart to detect concealment.

"Xie Guan's family."

The eunuch brought Gao Bailan a round mound.

"Gao Aiqing, your eldest son sacrificed his life for the country, and I haven't been rewarded yet, and now your grandson has also brought back an elite army to me, and has also opened the military horse trade with Western Xia. Your Gao family has been loyal since the king of Kaiping, and it is great for me, and Song Ju has made great contributions. So this time I will tell you that your Gao family has produced a talent. ”

Hearing Zhao Gou say this, Gao Baiyan and the old man knelt down again and shook his head at the official Zhao Gou.

"Xie Guan's compliment!"

"Let's be even, Gao Aiqing, I am a talent, a hero, and I will not be stingy." Zhao Goufu asked Zhang Jun again:

"Zhang Aijun, what kind of palace do you think this high pet should be sealed, and what kind of position should he receive?"

Zhang Jun knew that Zhao Gou actually had an idea, and Zhang Jun also knew that the current Shenwu army was much stronger than the royal army, and after operating for so many years, the official imperial forbidden army was less than 20,000 people, which was pitiful, and the strong foreign feudal forces were the most royal taboo, but the cash country was a false enemy of Qi at present, and there was no way for Zhao Gou. Therefore, Wang Yan and Gao Pet, a newly formed army that came back from the desert, happened to be recruited under his hands, and Gao Pet was only fifteen years old and so young, and he was malleable, so he could easily become the pillar of the Zhao family.

Zhang Jun thought for a while and said to Zhao Gou:

"The official's family, my Great Song Dynasty is short of horses, this imperial guard horse army is only 3,000 horses, it is the time when it is necessary to absorb new forces, Weichen believes that it can be incorporated into the establishment of the imperial guard horse infantry army, once this Jingxiang campaign is over, let it be rebuilt, stationed in Tunjing Division."

"As for the official position, he can be awarded the deputy commander of the Ma Army in front of the palace of the Guardian and the defense envoy of the three states of Jin, Jun and Fang. If there is merit, you will be promoted. ”

Zhang Jun guessed Zhao Gou's thoughts, and the title he was awarded was also appropriate, although he was young, after all, there were 6,000 horse troops, and more than 10,000 horses were there.

If you don't catch it first at this time, you will defect to the Shenwu army in two days, whether it is Yue Fei's Shenwu rear army or Liu Guangshi's Shenwu front army. It's hard to dig out of the mouths of these generals.

"Aiqing's discussion is very proper, you go and draw up the will."

This Gao Bailan knelt down for the third time when he heard this, no matter what happened in the future, whether he violated the ancestral teachings or not, the reward of this official family must be thanked first.
