Chapter 144: Two Birds with One Stone
After a reward, Yang Chuan's reaction was the most intense, Huo Quzhi's anger was the highest, but Cao Xiang was the most depressed: in addition to the golden silk fields, cattle, sheep and livestock, Liu Che fulfilled his promise and married the princess of Dangli to Yanghou Cao Xiang.
Cao Xiang was about to cry, and couldn't help lying flat on the wooden collapse and wailing seven or eight times.
Then, the goods got up and recited a poem on the spot: "Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water will flow more, and the glass will be more sorrowful; Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. ”
For a while, everyone in the attic who was tasting the food was stunned.
Cui Jiu's old thief stretched out two fingers, tapped lightly on the desk, and silently recited several times in his mouth, 'The mouth of the Great Han Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang occupies a must', and there was a faint layer of tears in his cold eyes.
Gongsun Ao was originally a vulgar martial artist, and what he hated the most was the rhetoric of those bullshit cultural people, because he really couldn't remember so many rare words.
But after listening to Cao Xiang's poem 'Mouth Possession', I couldn't help but praise it: "Good poems, really good poems, a certain family can understand them, and they are naturally masterpieces!" ”
Then, after the old thief smacked his face several times, his expression began to darken, and he whispered in his mouth: "Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads the ...... of flat boats."
And that 'Full Moon Princess', Liu Man.
She listened to Cao Xiang's poems, took a bowl of sour mash wine, her eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down, mixed with snot and saliva or something, and covered most of her face.
"Yang Chuan, you can do whatever you want, and the concubine will do it!"
Liu Man picked up the bowl of wine, drank it all, and shouted as if crying and laughing: "Come on, fill the palace!" ”
Huo Quzhi looked dazed, looked at this, looked at that, looked very confused, and couldn't help asking, "This poem is good?" Cao Xiang, what broken poems do you memorize? It's bullshit!
Tell me, you have drawn a knife in your hand, and you still run to chop water, isn't that something wrong with your brain?
What's more, since they all have drawn their swords in their hands, how can they still be miserable? The man's husband doesn't go to the battlefield to fight, so what are you pulling out your sword for? What kind of bullshit is not satisfactory, what will make a flat boat tomorrow, if you dare to run the rivers and lakes, your uncle promises to discount your dog legs, do you believe it or not? ”
Huo Quai's 'interpretation' made everyone disgusted for a while, and felt that this product was really not in any mood except for fighting and killing......
……
Yang Chuan sat at the bottom, took a bowl of water and drank it slowly, quietly observing the few people in front of him, basically there was no emotional change.
was shaken by Gongsun Aoming, he made trouble, scolded and scolded, and almost pounced on the old thief.
Still, it's okay to think about it.
Huo Qubing dared to fight the old thief head-on, relying on his excellent martial arts and body bones; He Yang Chuan's small body is not good, it is estimated that he will be beaten out of feces and urine before he pounces, so it is better to think carefully about the stakes.
It is human nature to avoid harm and seek profit.
Gongsun Ao's move was too yin, and he actually smashed the grain and grass, the bow and crossbow of the first soldier, and the logistics supply of the 'No. A Field Battalion' to him Yang Chuan? This is indeed a bit deceptive.
Moreover, it does not make sense at all.
The Yulin Army is not a vassal army, nor is it a private army such as the subordinates and families of the big dogs, but the emperor's private army, how can others be involved?
With Gongsun Ao's old scheming and insight, such a hasty 'bad idea' will definitely not come out......
Then, there is only one possibility.
This is what Liu Che meant.
It's just that Liu Che said it through Gongsun Ao's mouth, and there were several more meanings in it, such as testing him Yang Chuan? Or is it a beating? Or, it is simply his usual method of treating Yang Chuan as a big dog.
There is another possibility, that is, Liu Che finally wants to investigate and reuse him Yang Chuan?
Of course, there may be all of these meanings......
……
A "winter training" that was supposed to take three months to end was hastily ended after only 20 days.
Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and others returned to the Yulin Army camp, and after a little delivery, they were swept out of the house by Gongsun Ao.
"Do you really want to go back to the fiefdom directly?" Cao Xiang rode on horseback and sighed, "Ben Hou hasn't been to the Tianfu world for a long time, Yang Chuan, why don't we go to Chang'an City for a few days and then return to your fiefdom?" ”
Yang Chuan said expressionlessly: "Okay, it just so happens that your illness is almost cured, so I will write a letter to my mother and return you to her......"
Cao Xiang had a bitter face, and hurriedly said: "Ben Hou's illness is not well yet, oops, my stomach hurts tightly, hurry back to your fiefdom and eat a few days of slurry water!" ”
Looking at the scoundrel look of this goods, all the teenagers snickered.
Yang Chuan sighed and said, "Let's go, Your Majesty's will is very clear, I want our No. A field camp to set off immediately, while clearing the wasteland and farming, while training cavalry ......and archery."
I have to say that Liu Che's trick is really a bit mysterious, on the surface, it is to bully Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang, two "big dogs", and let the two of them raise money and food to prepare the army and horses, but in fact, it is like killing two birds with one stone, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
On the one hand, it seems that he wants to focus on cultivating Huo Quzhi, so that he can use the current twenty-one Yulin orphans as his old foundation to build an elite division that is completely his own; On the other hand, he quietly stripped some of the military power from the veteran.
Regarding the emperor's intentions, Huo Quzhi, Yang Chuan, and Cao Xiang knew a little bit about it.
However, none of the three of them mentioned this matter again, so they didn't know anything, anyway, their task was to bury their heads in the wasteland and farm, and train the soldiers to the death.
In Yang Chuan's words, that is 'hard work and self-reliance'.
Especially Yang Chuan, he knows the true meaning of Liu Che's move-
According to historical records, in order to train his younger generation of generals, gradually strip, replace and replace those veterans with wealthy family backgrounds, so as to crack down on and weaken the powerful forces in various places, and completely control the emperor's authority in his own hands, Liu Che has made a lot of preparations.
Among them, strengthening the two emperors' private soldiers of Qimen and Yulin, and promoting and reusing Wei Qing and Huo Quai, this is the first step.
Therefore, on the whole, this time he obviously suffered a loss, but in fact, it was a big bargain for Yang Chuan: to help Liu Che create an invincible elite young cavalry in the world, this is a real merit.
Thinking about this joint, Yang Chuan had a sad face on the surface, but he was quite comfortable in his heart.
The only thing that made him tired was the so-called 'Full Moon Princess', Liu Man, who had also become a member of the 'A-shaped field camp', not even a personal guard, maid and backing woman, which was completely dependent on Yang Chuan.
In this regard, Huo Qu's illness committee is really unacceptable.
What is the matter with a soldier in the army and a little woman hiding? Even putting aside the feudal superstitious saying that 'women can't join the army', just stuffing an old Liu's aunt and grandmother into the A-brand field camp made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Yang Chuan, can you find a way to get rid of that little girl's skin?"
During the march, Huo Quzhi gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "What does the emperor mean by this? Don't worry about us, send a princess of the Han Dynasty to supervise the army? How unreasonable! ”
Yang Chuan was unusual, and said with a smile: "Isn't there just one more female soldier, not yet." ”
Huo Qu was extremely depressed, and glanced back at Liu Man, who was mixed in the middle of a group of teenagers, with a blue nose and swollen face, and smug, and scolded angrily: "Anyway, it's your woman, you can restrain it, if you mess around and disobey discipline, then let her get out of here!" ”
Yang Chuan said with a smile: "To get sick, everything must be viewed dialectically. ”
"On the positive side, what does it mean that the emperor dares you to pull out a team alone and stay away from the Yulin army camp? This means that he is very optimistic about you and trusts you, which is a sign that you will be reused, cultivated and promoted. ”
There are some things to say, Yang Chuan can't say it, especially in the face of Huo Qu's illness.
is different from Cao Xiang who is a thief and a chicken, Huo Quzhi is an iron Hanhan, his mind is full of armor, war horses, military formations and conquests, who knows what will be exposed in front of the emperor.
Think about it, in the land of Beijing, under the roots of the imperial city, there is a completely independent elite cavalry, which emperor can rest assured?
As for the matter of mixing sand into the No. A field camp, Huo Quzhi is not unclear, on the contrary, this kid should know it......
……
The place of Guanzhong in the middle of winter is really beautiful.
Especially in the early sunny days after the snow, larks, black-naped orioles, peacebirds, and great come out to feed, spreading their wings and soaring under the blue sky, adding a sense of life to this quiet place.
More than 200 miles away, the orphans of Yulin worked harder, and they arrived before noon.
"Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, the one in front is your fiefdom?" Liu Manze caught up with him and said with a smile: "I'll get us some gold when I go back, and then buy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, okay?" ”
"Not good." Yang Chuan said expressionlessly.
"Why is it bad? No, I'm going to buy it, and I'll buy the tens of thousands of acres east of Weishui and give it to you, I'm angry with you! ”
Liu Manchao ignored Yang Chuan's objections, and pointed to the snowfield in the distance with a horsewhip, his eyes full of longing: "That wasteland is good, turn around and fence it off, and raise a herd of elk and goats in it, it is a good pasture."
By the way, the woodland near the Qinling Mountains is not bad, I bought it all when I went back, and the concubine gave Xiao Langjun some tigers, rhinos, brown bears or something, and then built a small city, so I called it ...... Well, let's just go to the Bear Hunting Pavilion. ”
"Also, the two of us are weak and need to work hard, so let's do it, the sloping land in the west, go back and buy it and circle it, let's raise thousands of wild boars, you and I kill pigs every day or something, how good......"
“……”
Listening to Liu Man's enthusiastic 'looking forward to the future', Huo Quzhi was extremely irritable when he heard it.
Cao Xiang 'Kuku' snickered.
Yang Chuan was frightened, and couldn't help but think of the 'Changmen Garden' of the eldest princess of the pavilion, isn't there a pasture, a bear hunting hall, and a wild boar pen?
He reprimanded with a cold face: "If you beep again, Lao Tzu will!" ”
"Xiao Langjun, how are you?"
Liu Man didn't know what to think, but his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yang Chuan, I am the princess of Dahan, Liu Che's biological daughter, and I am also a woman with a bit of status, you are not allowed to slap me in the face in the future;
Otherwise...... Well, in short, can't let him know! ”
