Chapter 258: Two Big Dogs
Hearing Liu Che's words, everyone was stunned, and looked at Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang, and Yang Chuan.
Yang Chuan and the three of them hurriedly came out of the queue, knelt on one knee, bowed with a military salute, and said in unison: "Your Majesty! ”
Liu Che looked at the three teenagers in front of him, a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, but the expression on his face was like frost, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Three hours ago, I received an urgent report from the Inner Government that several Hun cavalry had infiltrated Shanglin Yuan, the number of people is unknown, so the three of you will lead Yulin Erlang to go to conquer and suppress, and you must be completely annihilated!" ”
Yang Chuan, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang shouted in unison: "Oh! ”
Liu Che nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the big Changmen Cui Jiu beside him, and said indifferently: "Da Changmen, immediately pass the decree, and order Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang, and Yang Chuan to be the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Changshi and Junma, and lead the Yulin army." ”
Then, he said casually: "Let's go, let's go to Changle Palace first." ”
After saying this, Liu Che walked away and walked straight towards the chariot of the six-horse Tianzi.
Then, there is no then.
Don't say that Yang Chuan, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say; Even Prime Minister Sun Hong, the imperial envoy Doctor Erkuan, the Great Nong Ling Sang Hongyang, and the marquis and generals were all stunned.
The three young men who had not dried up were entrusted with important tasks like this, and became the Zhonglang general, Changshi and military Sima who were in charge of the Yulin Army?
However, thinking about the current Yulin Army, there are only more than 1,000 Yulin orphans, and it is said that even their grain, armor and war horses have not yet been prepared, and the old thieves are relieved.
You must know that the army of the Han Empire in Chang'an City was mainly composed of Lang Guan, Guards and Gong Wei Jing Division's garrison troops, among them, Lang Guan was led by Lang Zhongling, and the guards were led by Wei Wei, who were responsible for security inside and outside the palace; The garrison responsible for guarding the capital is led by a lieutenant;
Among them, the garrison led by the lieutenant was stationed in the north of Weiyang Palace, called the Northern Army; On the other hand, the Emperor's Guard, commanded by Wei Wei, was called the Southern Army.
After Liu Che ascended the throne, he carried out large-scale adjustments to the Northern Army and the Southern Army, the most obvious of which was that most of the Southern Army was abolished, but the Northern Army was highly strengthened.
Among them, the northern army cantonment, in addition to the middle base, and the addition of tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Hu cavalry, shooting, tiger Ben, etc., a total of eight schools, known as the 'Chang'an eight schools' by the world, respectively stationed in Chang'an City and its attachment when defending the capital, wartime with one or all with the army.
Today's Northern Army can be said to be the elite of the elite, and it is one of the foundations of the Han Empire that can sweep the world and deter the princes.
As for the Yulin Army.
It sounds lofty, this emperor's guard created by Liu Che himself, with bright armor, beautiful weapons, and a scarlet big sword hunting in the wind, looks very windy, and has made many Chang'an City gentlemen envious.
In fact, this army, which has been famous for the next 2,000 years, is only a small seedling for now......
This point, Yang Chuan has the most feelings, today's Yulin Army, there is not even a batch of decent war horses, if it weren't for him and Cao Xiang, two big dogs, who kept sticking money inside, the two or three hundred people under Huo Quai's command are estimated to have run back to Weiyang Palace as 'security guards' hungry.
Especially Gongsun Ao, he once served as the 'head of the Yulin Army' in the Yulin Army, and he knew the details of the Yulin Army that the emperor had prepared on a whim.
Therefore, the old horseman's mood suddenly became brighter, and he pointed at Yang Chuan and laughed: "Hahaha, even if you are lucky enough to be a thief, what can you do?" Not a little Yulin Army Sima? ”
After speaking, he smiled and left, and he was very ......
Well, it's very rude and arrogant.
A marquis outside the Guan, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, openly ridiculed and insulted a marquis of the Guannei, if Dong Zhongshu, Er Kuan, Ji Di and others were caught, maybe it would bring him endless trouble, even if he couldn't be punished for a seizure of the title, but a crime of 'committing the following crimes' could not escape.
Gongsun Ao's move attracted the attention of many people, but the old man didn't realize it and walked away in stride.
The emperor's chariot walked in front, and the old thieves had their own thoughts, and glanced at Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and other three teenagers meaningfully, and also went in the direction of Changle Palace one after another.
In the open space in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, only Yang Chuan and the other three people and the more than 1,000 Yulin orphans were left.
By the way, there is also a big Nagato Cui Jiu.
Huo Quzhi is the happiest person, he doesn't care whether the Yulin Army is poor or not, anyway, the grain, grass, logistics and supplies have a long history and military horses, as long as he can lead the troops to fight, he begs him!
Therefore, after the emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs left, this goods walked up to the more than 1,000 Yulin orphans for the first time, beat this one's shoulder, pinched that one's arm, and soon got into a fight with the group of teenagers......
Cui Jiu's old thief put his hands in his sleeves, looked at Huo Qubing very dotingly for a while, then turned his head, glanced at Yang Chuan with a smile, and then at Cao Xiang, and said slowly: "Two big dogs, can feed these more than 1,000 orphans?" ”
Cao Xiang opened his mouth to speak, but finally turned into a sigh, and said with a bitter face: "Da Changmen, you don't know, since I handed over all the Cao family's green salt business to my uncle, my family's noisy people are not good, and they almost expelled Benhou from the Cao clan, and the family's fields, money, grain, livestock, etc., have all been divided......"
Cui Jiu smiled and said, "It's good to split up, and the boat is good to turn around." ”
Cao Xiang spread his hands and scolded in a low voice: "What a fart, Ben Hou is almost as poor as Huo Quzhi now......"
Cui Jiu looked at Yang Chuan: "Yang Chuan, what about you?" ”
Yang Chuan turned his head to see that the chariots of the emperor and the big men had already walked away, rubbed his cheeks a few times, leaned over to Cui Jiu's old thief, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Cui Jiu, what does the emperor mean?" ”
Cui Jiu said quietly: "The emperor thinks that the tuntian of the three of you boys is doing a good job, and wants you to continue to cultivate the land in Shanglin Yuan, and bring the Yulin Army out by the way." ”
Yang Chuan sighed and asked bluntly, "Where is the war horse?" What about the armor? What about bows? By the way, and what about the tank? ”
"Even if we can be self-sufficient in food, meat, eggs, vegetables, and weapons, we don't have enough horses, no armor, and no bows and crossbows......"
Seeing that Yang Chuan turned on the 'chatter mode', Cui Jiu's old thief was also big for a while, and directly took out an emperor's secret decree from his sleeve and stuffed it in Yang Chuan's hand: "Okay, the emperor said, if the inner government can come up with enough war horses, grain, armor, bows and crossbows and chariots, what do you three stinky boys do?" ”
Yang Chuan sat down on the ground, and said with a sad face: "Let's do it ourselves?" To steal? To grab? Or go to the camp of the Northern Army to borrow it? ”
Cui Jiu smiled, squatted down, and began to be earnest: "Yang Chuan, in fact, there are only five thousand war horses, more than a thousand sets of armor, two or three hundred bows and crossbows, and one or two hundred chariots...... For you and Cao Xiang, isn't it easy and dry? ”
Yang Chuan raised his head and stared at Cui Jiu with an unkind expression: "Okay, you Uncle Cui Jiu, how many eyeliners have you planted in my house?" ”
You know, he only said the joke of 'dry Dandan' twice......
Cui Jiu used a finger to draw an uninteresting circle on the ground, and said: "It's not much, anyway, you don't rebel, I mainly send people to protect the daughters of the two princesses and Zhidu, and protect you by the way, how about it, is the old man interesting enough?" ”
"Enough, it's very interesting," Yang Chuan said angrily: "The problem is, there are nearly two thousand orphans in Yulin, if the entire equipment is complete, even if I Yang Chuan is sold, I won't be able to make it up." ”
Cui Jiu said: "Then you will find a way to sell others." ”
Yang Chuan looked sideways: "What do you mean?" Guo Xie has returned from the Western Regions? ”
Cui Jiu smiled: "Yang Chuan, do you know why I like you?" Because you're smart enough and bad enough...... Alright, let's get down to business. ”
Cui Jiu groaned a few times and said: "Originally, the emperor wanted you to go to Shuofang Tuntian to train the army, but at the moment, the matter of Tai Academy is unresolved, and many things still need to be manipulated behind your back, so I will simply hand over the Yulin Army to the three of you young people to build with your heart;
The camp of the Yulin Army is temporarily placed on the 300,000 acres of tuntian, and before this autumn, try not to let anyone know about its reality;
The emperor said, Shanglin Yuan is very big, you can also open up some wasteland, plant some fields, or find your own way to get some armor, bows and crossbows, etc., but you must pay attention to secrecy......"
Cui Jiu said a lot of things for the first time, no matter how big or small, they were all said clearly and clearly, which made Yang Chuan a little surprised, and at the same time, it also increased a lot of pressure.
Obviously, this time the stakes are very high, and it is estimated that even Liu Che himself is a little hesitant, after all, throwing an emperor's guard to three and a half sons, once something happens, it will be a big disaster.
On the surface, Yang Chuan listened extremely seriously, but in fact, he had already begun to think about it in his heart.
Finally, it's time to let go of some gadgets.
"Find a way to make some armor, bows and crossbows, or something......
Isn't it a complete decentralization? stirrups, horseshoes, Takahashi saddles, armor, repeaters, ironclad chariots...... Well, there are some things that can't be taken out yet.
It's still the same sentence, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be taken step by step, and some outrageous weapons cannot be taken out for the time being, otherwise, their value will plummet, and in the end they may be penniless.
The direction of Changle Palace was waving flags and drums, and it was obvious that the celebration of the emperor and Princess Nangong's adoption of a righteous daughter had begun.
After Cui Jiu's old thief left, Yang Chuan stood on the steps, glanced in the direction of Changle Palace, and then prepared a team with Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang, and quietly left Chang'an City......
……
That night, when Yang Chuan and his party returned to the Yang fiefdom, it was already midnight.
Father and Dongfang Shuo, who rushed back in advance, had already commanded the servants to kill pigs and sheep, and Yang's Zhuangzi was lively; Because Yang Chuan had been in a 'prison cell' for a month before, Dongfang Shuo had the ingenuity to let a group of women make a batch of red lanterns, covered with a layer of gauze on the outside, and lit with mutton fat lamps inside, which looked very prosperous.
While waiting for the feast to begin, Yang Chuan first asked all the Yulin orphans to take a cold shower, scrubbed them twice with green salt, and then scrubbed them with something prepared with sulfur powder and other things, so that they could change into a set of clean clothes;
In addition, he also asked the armor of the Yulin orphans to be put away, set up several cauldrons on the spot, and sanitized everyone's clothes with boiling water.
The newly arrived more than 1,000 Yulin orphans were originally stationed in the camp of Shanglin Yuan, but under the management of Gongsun Ao's old horseman, their camp was like a pig's nest, and many soldiers had skin diseases.
Since you want Yang Chuan to be the military commander of the Yulin Army, let's start by paying attention to hygiene.
Yang Chuan himself took a hot bath comfortably, changed into a set of clean clothes, and lay down on Mazha Zi very lazily: "Ah, finally comfortable." ”
imprisoned for a month, with wine and meat every day, and a big dog fight.
However, what made Yang Chuan most uncomfortable was that he couldn't take a bath in the dungeon of Tingwei's Mansion, he felt that his body was starting to mold, and there was a strange smell of blood all over his body.
"Zhang Tang, go back and tell Dachangmen and Erkuan, there should also be a bathhouse in the dungeon of Tingwei's Mansion, it stinks, it's just a pigsty."
Yang Chuan glanced at Zhang Tang, who had no sense of existence, and continued: "Even if the lives of those criminals are not valuable, you officials of the Tingwei Mansion still want to live for a few more years, but don't make trouble because of dirty mess and make a plague or something." ”
Zhang Tang said expressionlessly: "There have been two outbreaks of plague. ”
Yang Chuan opened his mouth and stammered for several breaths, and then he was too lazy to speak.
In fact, everyone understands the truth, but it is actually very difficult and difficult to get others to make some changes, and it is almost thankless.
Let's sweep the snow in front of each other.
He turned his head to look at Huo Quai: "Go sick, wait a while, before dinner, you can announce the rules and regulations of our field camp to everyone." ”
"In addition, all Yulin orphans will be reorganized."
"Either we don't do it, or if we do it, we will become the first in the world, which requires each of us to pay double, ten, or even a hundred times the effort."
"Therefore, I propose that the Yulin Army can be divided into several different arms according to the personal ability and quality of the soldiers, for example, our previous field battalion is the main force of light cavalry, and another heavy cavalry is trained out, as for the required armor or something, I will find a way for us to ......."
Yang Chuan took a sheepskin, while planning, while writing and painting on it, in less than a cup of tea, he listed the establishment of the Yulin Army, the matching of troops, and the training methods one by one, which made Huo Quzhi a burst of surprise: "Yang Chuan, you kid is hidden deeply?" ”
Yang Chuan didn't pay attention to these two goods, but turned his head to look at Cao Xiang, and said: "Although we have a lot of money and food on hand, but those are all from the Tai Academy, and we can't spend a penny, we must figure this out."
So, Cao Xiang, let's make a big deal. ”
