The cold wind howled, and there was a chill between the vast heaven and earth, and pieces of snowflakes fell from the sky, as if someone had sprinkled salt, fluttering, and falling between the necks of Linhe Hou, a piece of cold.

The Marquis of Linhe, who was originally the Marquis of Lingnan, was recruited into the forbidden army to conquer the Xiongnu because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Southern Barbarians, and then made a contribution with Huo Quai's attack.

The imperial court built Shuofang County in Henan, and his feudal state in Lingnan was abolished, and Liu Che added 1,200 households for him, and changed the title to Linhe County, Shuofang County, becoming a liehou who guarded here, and the food of 3,500 households occupied almost one-tenth of the population of the entire Shuofang County.

Linhehou tightened the thick clothes on his body, looked at the heavy snow and said, "Sang Taishou, will this heavy snow cause losses to the war horses of the Great Han?"

You know, this military horse farm is big, it is related to the war between the Han and the Xiongnu, and the fate of the Han society.

To put it mildly, Your Majesty is always concerned about this, the future and destiny of you and me are all here, whether to be promoted to Chang'an to be the three princes and nine kings, or to stay in this desolate northern Shuofang to face the Huns every day, it all depends on this military horse farm.

It's going to be three years soon, Ben Hou went from Lingnan to Shuofang, and the Hou State, which had been in business for more than 30 years, was abandoned in Lingnan, and at such a big price, Ben Hou didn't want to fall short at this last moment. ”

Linhehou's tone was a little unkind.

The system of officials guarding the princes and the county is two systems, and generally speaking, there is no subordinate relationship between each other, and if the relationship is good or general, they respect each other, and if the relationship is poor, they are hostile to each other and make small reports.

And to some extent, the county guard has more power than the town guard liehou, after all, the town guard liehou has only one county influence, and the county guard is a county.

However, Linhe Hou is an exception, Shuofang County is a border county that has just been established, military first, Linhe Hou commands the military of the whole county, plus the identity of the liehou, and the relationship between Chang'an City, it is not a mere Shuofang County guarding two thousand stones can be compared.

But Sang Hongyang was not used to him, and immediately said excitedly: "Junhou, several times the Han, the last thing I want to have an accident in the military horse farm is me, for the position of Shuofang County Guard."

My division commander and leader, and even the entire faction have used an unknown amount of resources, and everyone is waiting for me to make achievements, return to the capital, and fight for a place for the school.

What do you mean by that? ”

Sang Hongyang was born in a Legalist family, and he was not Qi Fa, who had many allies, so he naturally belonged to the excluded side above the court where Confucianism occupied the majority.

Hearing this, Linhe Hou said with a slightly soothing expression: "It's me who is too anxious, and Sang is too guarded." ”

Sang Hongyang was about to speak, when suddenly a rapid galloping sound came, the two looked at each other, only to see a knight jumping off the horse, and said urgently: "Junhou, Taishou, there are nobles in Chang'an, and they are waiting at the yamen of the county." ”

Linhe Hou and Sang Hongyang were shocked when they heard this, it had just snowed heavily and there were nobles coming in just two days, this was not for the military horse farm, Sang Hongyang directly screwed off his head.

The two immediately got on their horses, and Linhe Hou asked urgently, "Do you know which noble person it is?" ”

"Junhou, the nobleman with the Luo clan warriors and the guards in the palace are the two Shangguan of the Champion Hou and the Wushuang Marquis."

Linhe Hou was dizzy when he heard this, Champion Hou and Wushuang Hou turned out to be these two Shangguan, and they came together.

Although it can't be compared with the general Wei Qing in terms of power, everyone knows that these two people are in the emperor's heart, and it is only a matter of time before they soar.

If these two usually come, Linhehou must have arranged it properly, but at this time......

He turned his head to look at Sang Hongyang and said, "Sang Taishou, it seems that I can't wait for the spring of next year, and now I just hope that the arrangement is good enough." ”

Sang Hongyang frowned, not particularly worried, and said: "The prince doesn't need to be too anxious, before this heavy snow comes, I have prepared enough pasture to ensure that in the coming year, all the war horses will still be in good spirits, and they will never delay the major events of the imperial court."

As long as Wushuang Hou and Champion Hou don't deliberately pick thorns, it's no problem. ”

These words dissipated into the air with the fierce cold wind, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry.

Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing sat quietly in the hall drinking tea, chatting about the tactics after the appearance of the Three Treasures of the Imperial Horse, and also chatting about the plan to fight against the Xiongnu in the future.

Sang Hongyang and Linhe Hou hurriedly returned.

Of course, the daring warriors and palace guards would not stay in the heavy snow, but along the way, from time to time, one or two daring warriors and janissaries could be seen dressed in shiny armor and swords, and their eyes were cold, and even Sang Hongyang was a little nervous.

When I entered the hall, I saw two young generals in military uniforms, one was radiant and handsome, full of wanton vertical and horizontal air between Gu Pan, and the other was even more handsome, with the stigma shining between the eyebrows, and his eyes were as peaceful as water.

Linhe Hou and Sang Hongyang bowed deeply and said: "The ministers meet the two princes, and the two princes Wan'an. ”

Luo Wujian pushed forward with both hands and saluted back: "Sang Taishou, Linhe Hou is fine." ”

Huo Quzhi was more familiar with Linhehou, and greeted him with a smile: "Linhehou, how are you doing in Shuo in the past few years?"

I didn't see you come to Chang'an to congratulate you during the Chinese New Year the year before last. ”

Sang Hongyang was a little envious when he saw this, the affection forged on the battlefield of these princes was not something he could compare.

Linhe Hou was pleasantly surprised: "It's the fault of the ministers, the ministers have the emperor's order, and when they were worshipping last year, they happened to encounter a small group of Hun tribes to attack and harass, and they failed to go to Chang'an to celebrate His Majesty, and failed to celebrate the princes." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled at first, and then asked abruptly: "The Marquis of Linhe knows that he has the emperor's order, and it is snowing heavily this day, and His Majesty is extremely concerned about the military horse farm in Henan."

Ben Hou and Wushuang Hou will deploy war horses from here in the future, so come and see in person, Linhe Hou is willing to take the two of me to check out my Han's war horses? ”

When the Marquis of Linhe heard this, he hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the matter of war horses is more important than Mount Tai, and the ministers will not dare to take it lightly. ”

Luo Wujian set his eyes on Sang Hongyang, who was wearing a civilian uniform, and asked with his fists, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”

Sang Hongyang said: "Back to the prince, the subordinate is surnamed Sang, the name is Hongyang, and he is from Shandong." ”

I didn't report to my family when I met, but I was a student of the Legalist family.

Just from Sang Hongyang's failure to report to his family, Luo Wuji knew that he must be a student of the Legalist family.

But he doesn't care about this, he is a general, and he doesn't care much about these academic things, even if he inherits the position of the head of the family in the future, there is still a Luo Shizi who is good at academic ways to take care of these for him.

Luo Wujian hugged his fists and said: "Sang is too polite, without further ado, please take the two of us to check." ”

Sang Hongyang took a deep breath and said, "Two princes, please." ”

Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi glanced at each other, and stood up from their seats, both of them were extremely tall people, and Sang Hongyang had even just reached the position of the shoulders of the two, and the sense of oppression rose in an instant.

The two of them walked to the outside of the hall and shouted loudly: "Whole army." ”

Almost instantly, in the halls of the county guard's mansion, the daring warriors and palace guards appeared, the too thick armor was naturally not worn, only wearing a light leather armor on the half, with a bow and crossbow on the back, a sharp blade in the hand, and countless snowflakes almost fell on their shoulders in a few breaths, but no one made a sound.

Then the voice of the law came from outside the door, and Luo Wujian said loudly: "Get on the horse, get ready to go." ”

More than 200 people all turned around and went out to ride on horses, and with the blessing of the three horses, all of them were able to let go of their hands, and their legs did not need to be clamped to the horse's belly all the time, and there were a lot more things that could be hung on the horse, long and short weapons, as well as bows and crossbows.

Sang Hongyang and Linhe Hou both saw Ma Sanqi for the first time, and the Han court did a good job of keeping secrets, and the two of them looked stupid directly, and they didn't know that the imperial court had these things.

"Sang Taishou, please lead the way."

It wasn't until Luo Wuji's voice woke up the two, and hurriedly rode forward, all the way to the grassland, Sang Hongyang introduced: "Two princes, Henan military horse farm was built for three years, His Majesty allocated a huge amount of money, opened the door of convenience, until now, there are more than 200,000 horses here, of which 100,000 can be used as war horses, if you give the subordinates a period of time, the subordinates are confident that they will increase by tens of thousands." ”

100,000 horses!

Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi glanced at each other, this number is really a lot, according to one person with two war horses, and one pack horse, this is already 50,000 cavalry.

This number is enough for two people to start a war against the court of the Xiongnu Right Xian Wang!

While talking, the two finally arrived in the horse farm, such a snowy day, there is no grass on the grassland, and the war horse naturally does not know that it is still on the grassland, especially on a snowy day, it is impossible to let it go.

Thickened thatched stables appeared in front of everyone, these stables were endless, row after row, countless horses were in it, and on top of the trough were slightly dry grass and beans, but it was very good to eat these in such weather.

Luo Wujian went straight to the stable, observed the shape of the war horse in detail, and then stroked the hair and shiny flesh of the war horse, very satisfied, the group rode the horse, in the cold weather, braved the wind and snow to check the stables one by one.

Seeing the end, Luo Wujian couldn't help but praise: "Taishou, raise these horses well, it will be of great use in the spring next year, with this great achievement, you will soar."

Now that the position of the great Sinong in the court is vacant, I think you are very suitable for this position, and a talented person like you should go to a higher position to benefit the world. ”

Sang Hongyang was excited, but he keenly grasped the key point, it will be of great use in the spring next year, and the imperial court will move troops against the Huns next year?

No wonder he was in such a hurry to see the war horse, if he went on a business trip and delayed the great cause of the imperial court, he would really be to blame.

The snow continues to fall, and after the heavy snowfall, there is a warm spring, and many people can't wait, too much anticipation is taking root.
