Chapters XVI-XX

Liao Li's matter came to an end, and then we secretly sent people to Jingzhou to investigate, and found that Liao Shui's tribe had mysteriously disappeared two years ago, some people said they went to Qingzhou, some people said Jizhou, although the region is different, but they are all Cao Wei's territory.

And Liao Shui's so-called family members and subordinates in Hanzhong, after careful investigation, found that they were all hired by him at his expense, no matter how he asked, he didn't know his details. Liao Shui actually entered Ji Han alone to make trouble. This makes me quite annoyed, although this Liao Shui is indeed capable of daring to die for Cao Wei, but on the other hand, he used the power of one person (although he has Cao Wei's support, but in the shadows), with a fake identity, to make such a big move under my rule, and it actually needs someone to report it to the court to know, which fully shows how big a loophole my rule is.

So I wrote the big word "household registration" under the pillar of the dormitory. Generally, everything I think is important, I will write it on the pillar, morning and evening, and I can remind it from time to time. For example, now the pillars are written "Xianbei", "Jushi", "Military Academy", "Trade Route" and "Tuntian".

Knowing that he was fooled and calculated, but he couldn't find real evidence, this is really an annoying thing. In a fit of rage, I wanted to take revenge on the old fox. Thinking about it later, I gave up. If history doesn't change, he won't live for three months, forget it, he lost a game, let him move back when he dies. So I issued an amnesty order and released Liao Li directly.

The meeting with the Xianbei envoy turned out to be full of twists and turns.

The first is that my ministers did not agree to negotiate with Xianbei, among whom Shang Shuling Liu Ba was the representative. He even said to me unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, this is the way to destroy the country, these Hu people, not my race, their hearts will be different, for hundreds of years they have frequently invaded the Central Plains, so that the border is full of wolves, the people are not happy, the people are displaced, ten rooms and nine empty, miserable, if we unite with them, how do the people of the world think of us?" How can the people support us? Even if the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Wei State dare not do such a thing, but Your Majesty comes to do it, what face do we have to claim to be orthodox and order the world to recover the country? ”

These words have a very heartfelt feeling. That's what I'm worried about. This view makes our Han people dare not open their arms to know other peoples, refuse to believe that they also have outstanding talents like us, and refuse to tolerate and forgive. I disagree with this view. In fact, I respect every ethnic group, from Wulingman to Nanzhongman, from Qiang to Xiongnu. In this world, everyone is raised by their parents and has the right to survive. In this world, there should be another way to survive together besides killing.

I said to Liu Ba: "You have a point, but the hatred in the world has been buried from generation to generation, and if you don't solve it, you will never be able to solve it." I also know that the division between Hu and Han is too big and not easy to deal with, but at the moment, contact with them is just a charter, and my mind can't be smaller than Tanshi Huai and Kebineng. The sandalwood slab dares to reuse the Han people, and Kebi can dare to contact me. Am I inferior to them? ”

Liu Ba said: "Xianbei, like the Huns, lived by grazing, lived in water and grass, wore short clothes, lived in yurts, advocated force, and fought bravely. The hardships of life outside the Cypriots also gave them a strong and unyielding character, which made them appear aggressive, often harassing the border areas and robbing the Han Chinese of property. When he was in Youzhou, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, once used Huairou's method to collect Hu people from abroad, give them land and seeds, teach them to farm, build houses, and care about their lives...... Gongsun Chan was the other method, building up a powerful army to strike hard at anyone who dared to challenge his authority, even exterminating them for a small matter. But did it work? No, neither of them solved the border troubles, Xianbei and the Han are still at war every year, Wuhuan is also surrendered and rebelled, even the Huns who have been naturalized by the Han for hundreds of years, as soon as there is a stir, they also begin to fight for the greatest interests for themselves. Therefore, Your Majesty should not underestimate these alien races, their strength, their ferocity, is not at all what we can imagine, these despicable and inferior races should be exterminated, and an alliance with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of wolves. ”

I smiled: "Shang Shuling is too worried." Xianbei is indeed strong, so they can defeat the Xiongnu, occupy the steppe, and attack us every year. But Lian is not an incompetent and ignorant lord, not to mention Kong Ming, with you, I don't believe that these barbarians can still make money. In fact, I see this world as seven kingdoms, the Han world is divided into three parts, Wei, Han and Wu are three kingdoms, Xianbei is three points, the western, central and eastern tribes are also three kingdoms, and our western Qiang country is also a country. My goal is to clean up the Xiqiang Kingdom and Budugen first, solve all the surrounding problems, and then concentrate on dealing with Cao Wei. I don't want Cao Pi's five-way army to bloom on all sides and attack Ji Han repeatedly. I think that we can go as far as we can see, and if we are limited to Wei and Wu, then we are only in the corner of the chessboard. Do you think that's the truth? ”

When I said this, Liu Ba naturally had nothing to say. Speaking of which, although my emperor is young, but his behavior is quite virtuous, and he discussed it in private, some say that I am like Emperor Gao, and some say that I am like Emperor Guangwu, in fact, this is still my reputation when I was young in Jingzhou, with the support of Mr. Shuijing and others. And my battle against Yongliang also raised my prestige to a relevant height. In Ji Han, my words still carry a lot of weight. And I'm not the founder of the country like my father, so I'm not as strong as him. I know my strengths and weaknesses, so I consult with the ministers in case of trouble, and if I can't make a decision, Kong Ming and the people who are mainly responsible will make a decision. In this way, all the ministers felt that I respected them, so in turn they respected me, even Liu Ba, who didn't like my father, and Liao Li, who had eyes to his forehead, were still polite to me in the court.

persuaded the ministers of the court, so he met with the Xianbei envoy.

The leader of the envoys who came this time was Yu Zhuyu, the son-in-law of Kebineng, and it seemed that this person was no different from the Han Chinese, as if he was quite fluent in Chinese. Communicating with him is effortless. However, he couldn't say a word to me, so he muttered a few words to the three people around him. I knew that he was translating my words, but I couldn't help but think that in Ji Han, there needs to be people who can speak Xianbei, otherwise I don't even know if they scold me to my face.

After a few kind words, they cut to the chase, and sure enough, they want to unite with me, but not for a long time, but for short-term cooperation, they want to attack Youzhou and Merge State, and they plan to join forces with me.

I was intrigued by the proposal, and when I asked about the specific time, place, and course of action, I couldn't help but nod my head. Kebineng is indeed a character. He planned to invade Cao Wei on a large scale this autumn, and asked me to contact Eastern Wu to attract Cao Wei's attention from the south and west, and they knew that the Xiongnu in Bingzhou were united with us, so they asked them to send troops to cooperate with the attack, and if they succeeded, they would give us 20,000 cattle and sheep as a benefit.

I was. Is my Ji Han short of 20,000 sheep? It's a joke to use us like this. I shook my head and said, "I don't want cattle and sheep, I don't lack that, I want to go to the county, Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong four counties." "At present, the western Xianbei Budugen is extremely strong, and my country is all his territory from the north of Feng Yi and Anding, and I propose these four counties, which have included all the territories west of the Yellow River into their own power pan, so that they are connected with Anding, Beidi and other counties, not only pushing the Xianbei forces north of the Great Wall, but also pushing them all the way to the northernmost part of the Yellow River.

Yu Zhuyan was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, you want to destroy the entire Budugen clan?" What's in it for us, do you have the strength? ”

I laughed: "Just kidding, you don't want to play the Hanshan Royal Court?" Don't want to occupy the fertile grasslands in the north and south of Daqingshan? I just want to invade year after year, grab it when it comes, and run away when it comes, what kind of ability is it? Relying on this, can you snatch Danhan Mountain into your hands? To tell you the truth, I don't want to be like you, I am a descendant of Emperor Han Gao, I have hundreds of thousands of troops, the wisest prime minister and the bravest general in the world, I know that you adults are heroes, and I believe in his vision. What do you adults want to be strong? Land, only with land, your cattle and sheep can breed, your soldiers and horses can increase, you will have countless warriors, you grow on horseback, only the place where water and grass are abundant is your home. And I, as you know, most of my troops are infantry and archers, and I don't value meadows that much. As long as the border is not disturbed, I just don't want to have a step root in the north of Chang'an. Budugen is the descendant of the sandalwood locust, and he will join forces with me to destroy the descendants of the sandalwood locust, and you adults can truly become the leader of Xianbei. You are all straight men, and I don't want to go around in circles with you, whether you do it or not, you think for yourself. Is it that every year, as you adults go south to rob, the dead and the dead are lost, so why don't you exchange the warriors of the tribe for some money and goods? Or shall you enlarge your land, and increase your subjects, and gain for your children patch after patch of pasture? If you want to do it, I will help you, if you don't want to do it, pull it down, I will not respond in the south, and second, I will not let the Xiongnu send troops, you adults are willing to attack, and you have Cao Wei's Yan Rou and Liang Xi to deal with you. ”

My proposal stunned a few Xianbei envoys, none of them could have imagined that I would have such an appetite to come up with the idea of attacking Budugen. But that's exactly what I wanted. If I don't put on a belligerent posture, I'm afraid that in the future my steps will fall, and they will in turn threaten me. But will they be intimidated by my tough stance and not join forces with us?

"Your Majesty, your request is too much." In the middle of the sound, Yu Zhuyu still pushed back, "You are interfering in the internal affairs of the Xianbei clan." We will not agree to join forces with you to kill our own people. ”

"That's good, that's good, you fight Cao Wei, I'll fight Kebineng, anyway, the battle always has to be fought. Since you are here, I will give you the whole truth, the four northern counties, I must take them back, this is the land of the Han Dynasty! Moreover, I will tell Budugen that I have attacked him at the behalf-hearted request of Lord Kebineng. ”

Yu Zhuqian shook his head and said, "Lord Budugen won't believe it. ”

I laughed and said, "He'll believe it." He is not unaware of the discord between the two of you. Besides, you've been here. ”

Yu Zhuji gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, don't be overconfident, then our adults may help Lord Budugen attack His Majesty's army, and when the time comes, I don't know who will win and who will lose." ”

I laughed again: "Okay, as long as Budugen agrees with you to cross the border to attack, I will admit it even if I fail." The question is, do you want to unite with him, is he willing? Is he in the same league as you, or is he in the same league as Cao Wei? I also have news to tell you that Cao Wei came a few days ago and wanted to negotiate peace with me, why did they negotiate peace with me? I and Cao Wei have an enmity that they don't share. They are there to free up forces to deal with you. If they can't make peace, they are secretly pretending to be your people to assassinate me, what do you think they want to do? If I hadn't found out their details, I was afraid that the heads of a few envoys would have hung outside the gate of Chang'an. Cao Wei has already spared no effort to get rid of you, but it's ridiculous that you still think you have the initiative and want to attack them. The power of Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry, you think you know, they attacked Wuhuan, traveled 3,000 miles in a hurry, and they were able to win the battle. What will be the consequences if you catch lice on their heads? Budugen is so powerful, why do you honestly guard the border for Cao Wei? Is it because he is too old to ride a horse? He is waiting for your chance to be defeated by Cao Wei! You have angered Cao Wei and are about to face annihilation, if it weren't for the alliance army to threaten them here, they could gather elite troops at any time and march north into the prairie! I still say the same thing, whether it is the Xianbei tribes or the countries of the Han Dynasty, there are constant disputes and mutual vendettas, who is strong, whose fist is big, who has the final say. Right now, you are surrounded by Budugen and Cao Wei, and you are at a disadvantage, if you don't make a decision early and cut off one of Cao Wei's arms, I am afraid that your demise will not be far away. ”

Yu Zhuyu was sweating when he heard this, and finally said: "I can't do these things, I have to go back and report to my family, and then make a decision." ”

I nodded, "Yes." I give you time. Play in Chang'an City for a few more days and see my Ji Han style. When you return, I will send messengers with you. Lord Kebineng is fair and prestigious, and he has put aside the affection between the two countries, in fact, I also want to make him a friend. ”

Speaking of which, my strength was made after consulting with Kong Ming, Xianbei people only believe in strength, if you retreat, he will think that you are weak and can be bullied. Moreover, my words are not all lies, Cao Wei's strength is also far stronger than Kebineng, if I remember correctly, Xianbei's southern invasion was repelled by Liang Xi, the assassin of Bingzhou. So he wants to go south, I don't care, but I don't want to echo him either. What I'm going to do is get him to echo me and go north. The Xianbei Budugen tribe, I must fight a dozen, otherwise, they will invade the Western Regions every year and settle the counties in the south, which will make it difficult for us to concentrate on construction. Moreover, the Budugen tribe is scattered around the desert, hundreds of tribes, like a plate of scattered sand, and Budugen is not as clear as Kebineng, fair, and has no ambition. If this kind of sick tiger is not beaten, it will really be peaceful. However, my fight is not like what the Xianbei people said, to fight a national battle, we must recover the four counties. At present, fighting a war of more than 100,000 people will drag down Ji Han's economy. What I want to fight is a crack war, using an excellent general, with a small number of troops, selectively attacking and disrupting, and taking the initiative to attack, so as to achieve the purpose of nourishing the war with war, and ensure the stability of the north of Jihan. The recovery of the four counties will be a matter of a few years later.

And the general I chose is Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei is coming back soon.

On March 20, the Chang'an City began to raise soldiers. The reason why I chose this time is because it is lukewarm at this time, and students from the north and south can adapt to it, but I am afraid that the epidemic will spread at the turn of spring and summer, so I asked people to arrange for doctors to go to the sick students to see a doctor for free, and prepare licorice, honeysuckle, mung bean and other medicinal herbs to boil soup for free. I asked Kong Ming, Liu Ba and Jiang Wan to be jointly responsible for presiding over and ensuring justice.

The test questions are only prepared and distributed before the start of the test, for fear that someone will cheat. The policy discussion is a topic that I personally set: "Xingji Han", "Breaking Cao Wei", and "He Zhurong", choose one topic.

Standing on the palace wall, seeing thousands of students entering the examination room, I seemed to see countless glittering gold. At this moment, I suddenly saw a figure mixed in with those students, and it looked extremely familiar.

I asked Hesse beside me: "That person, why does he look a little like Xu Ling'er?" ”

Hesse nodded, "I can't see it clearly, but it's a little like it." But Miss Xu is currently in the Cheqi General's Mansion, and that person may be her brother. ”

I nodded.

I am the emperor, and according to the requirements of the ministers, I can't listen to and see the students, so I can only look at it from a distance in the guise of an ordinary person. You can only see these people during the temple examination. I smiled bitterly, I, the emperor, also have a prison around me.

On March 23, all three exams were completed, the dragon gate was opened, and the students left the examination room. I hurriedly asked Kong Ming to hand over their papers and see them for myself. I only look at the timing to see if there is any harmony. What makes me happy is that under this look, I found that there are really a lot of good ones, and Shi Ce has the most topics of "Xingji Han", and the content is varied, some discuss tuntian, some discuss opening canals, some discuss trade, and of course, there are those who want to govern the country by virtue, thinking that as long as they establish morality, they can be invincible in the world. Compared with Cao Wei, there are many fewer, and after reading a few articles, the words are still smooth, but most of the content is not new. In fact, judging from the comparison of Cao Wei's strength in front of us, it is impossible for anyone who wants to eat each other in one bite, even if there are a few more Weinan battles, it is just to change the strength of both sides, but it is difficult to solve the opponent at one time. In fact, in the original history, Cao Wei accounted for three-quarters of the world, attacking the weak Shu Han, and fighting for more than ten years, not to mention that now we are weak and strong.

In contrast, there are even fewer people who write about "He Zhurong", and the only few articles are about my policy of equality between Hu and Han in Yizhou, and only focus on the places we have already occupied, but even so, it is not easy to write about this topic with very few Han nationalism. Finally, there was an article about Xianbei that caught my attention, he wrote the history of Xianbei clearly, and wrote three strategies to deal with Xianbei, many of which I didn't know. What he proposed was not to make peace with Xianbei, but to break Xianbei, how to use Xianbei's internal contradictions, to divide, to attack, how to fight in the grassland. Although many of them are only tasted at a superficial level, they show their extraordinary eyesight. I deliberately took a look at the name, it was called Wang Nan, and the word calendar was harsh. It's such an interesting name.

Later, the palace examination was organized, and more than 30 filial piety on the list entered the palace. I took the test myself. The first champion was Ma Bing, but he was the son of Ma Liang, the assassin of Yizhou.

And the second and third places turned out to be brothers, the elder brother is named Chen Geng, and the younger brother is named Chen Yu. I see that this brother's appearance is very similar to Xu Ling'er, especially the younger brother, it is almost like Xu Ling'er wearing male makeup. When I asked, the elder brother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the first Taifu is the grandfather of the minister. "It turned out to be Ling'er's two cousins. I laughed too.

Wang Nan, who wrote Xianbei affairs, ranked ninth. Dongguan made Yin Mo's son Yin Zong ranked eleventh, which should be a blow to him, when it comes to talent, Yin Zong's erudition is quite a father's style I thought he must be in the top three in high school, but unfortunately although his knowledge is solid, he is not very proficient in practical policies, full of paper and floating, naturally not in my eyes.

On the whole, the children of the scholars still accounted for the majority of the scholars, after all, their families had the conditions, books, and teachers, while the rest of the farming, industrial, and commercial tribes did not have these convenient conditions. However, there are finally more than a dozen non-Shi students, which is a welcome change.

After that, I commended these talents with great fanfare, paraded around Chang'an City, let them show their faces in front of everyone, and held a banquet in Qiongtai for the ministers to accompany them. At this time, everyone knew that I valued Jushi, and after that, schools sprung up all over the world. Because I attach great importance to the current policy, the students have also begun to take the initiative to observe national affairs, and no longer talk about the mysteries with one mind.

In the meantime, I had a few words with that Wang Nan, and asked about his ancestor, who was actually a famous hidden husband Wang Fu.

Wang Fu, Byte Xin, No. Qianfu, was a native of Linjing, Anding County (later Zhenyuan, Gansu). Born in 80 A.D. and died in 167, he died at the age of 80 and over. The composition of his thought is relatively comprehensive and complex, and its mainstream is the Confucianism of Confucius and Meng, mixed with some Taoist and Legalist thoughts. That is to say, the pre-Qin thought had a deep influence on him, and it was difficult to get rid of the influence of the Western Han tradition. For example, "reinforcing the original and suppressing the end" in "Treatise on Salt and Iron" and Dong Zhongshu's "unity of heaven and man" or "induction of heaven and man". But compared with the virtuous literature of the Western Han Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu's teachings, the reality he faced has had a lot of adaptations and developments. For example, in the chapter "Wuben", he talked about "re-emphasizing the original and suppressing the end". His method of speaking is different from that in "On Salt and Iron". The theory of "Treatise on Salt and Iron" is that the original is the original, and the end is the end, one-to-one. This is the initial reflection of the classical economy of the Western Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty was different, the classical economy was complicated, and it was already showing signs of decay. In the face of this reality, Wang Fu divided the "book" into two, taking agriculture as the foundation and traveling as the end; The "work" is also divided into two, the application is the foundation, and the ingenuity is the end; The "business" is also divided into two, with currency as the foundation and oddity as the end. In this way, he changed the one-to-one of the Western Han Dynasty into three to three, the area of support was expanded, and the area of attack was reduced. These thoughts of his are simply specially designed for us Ji Han.

Both I and Mr. Kong Ming have great respect for this submersion, and I can't help but be even happier when I see his descendants at this time. Talking about it in detail, this Wang Nan's life experience was very hard, and he was even made a slave by the Xianbei people for three years, and later the family thought of countless ways to redeem it. It is precisely because of this experience that he is more familiar with the situation in Xianbei in the west.

"Do you speak lightly?"

"Yes."

I really want to sleep, and a pillow falls from the sky.

Jiang Wei returned on April 5. His return caused a small sensation in Chang'an City. He is my attendant, a disciple of Kong Ming and Zhao Yun, both civil and military, able to conquer and fight, sweep three thousand miles, and expand the four counties, in the younger generation, it is a hero with one song. More importantly, he is not self-righteous, not proud, not conceited. Even he said in his recital to me that he had no credit and that his success was due to his subordinates who died on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen Jiang Wei for more than two years, and I miss him very much, and I miss the days we spent together. At this time, Wang Jun was not there, so I secretly asked Zhuge Qiao to go to the post house to see Jiang Wei. Zhuge Qiao saw that I was very interested, and because I rarely had this kind of childhood behavior in recent years, he didn't dissuade me and went with me.

Of course, I went to see it in the name of Zhuge Qiao. At this time, because Jiang Wei was there, the post house was already very lively, the servants went in and out from people, soldiers came and went, and a Chinese army stood in front of the door and said: "My lord will only dare to see people after His Majesty sees the saint tomorrow, please go back." ”

I was also relieved to see Jiang Wei's etiquette. The Chinese army saw Zhuge Qiao's name sticker, but he didn't seem to know the relationship between him and Jiang Wei, and said again and again: "My lord, it's really unfortunate, my school captain has an order, and the small one doesn't dare to disobey." The captain is only a petty official of 2,000 stones, so why did you come to see him. He said that after seeing Your Majesty, he would return to your lordships. ”

Zhuge Qiao laughed angrily at his words, and said, "You killing talent, what do you know." Go in and say to your lord, let him come and meet him personally, and say that I have come with the one on the north. ”

The Chinese army didn't understand: "Who is the one in the north?" Looking up, Zhuge Qiao's face was no longer right, and he turned around and ran in fright.

Not long after, when the Chinese army came back, his face was already full of horror, and he gave Zhuge Qiao a deep salute and whispered: "My captain, please." He turned around and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's really unfortunate that my family can't see guests today, please come back." ”

Zhuge Qiao and I walked inside, and as soon as we entered the door, we saw Jiang Wei bowing to the ground: "Jiang Wei see Your Majesty." His Majesty's holy drive came here in person, and Jiang Wei didn't dare to take it. ”

I smiled and helped him up: "Boyo get up." It's not Your Majesty or the Son of Heaven who comes to see you today, but your partner Adou. I haven't seen you for two years, but do you want to see me? ”

Jiang Wei burst into tears: "The minister misses His Majesty all the time. ”

Zhuge Qiao smiled: "I can't imagine that the iron-clad general who kills people like hemp is still so easy to get emotional, but why is Brother Boyo ruthless and hurtful?" ”

Jiang Wei said: "Why do you say this? ”

Zhuge Qiao said: "Mrs. Xu's granddaughter ......"

Jiang Weideng's face was red: "Your Majesty, you also know about this matter." Alas, it is always providence that makes people. ”

I knelt on the couch with a smile, let Jiang Wei and Zhuge Qiao also sit down, and asked, "Okay, since Bo Song mentioned this matter, I also want to know what Bo Yue thinks about this matter." Miss Xu also knows that a very talented woman, in terms of appearance, talent, and life experience, is she not worthy of you? ”

Jiang Wei shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain this matter. Your Majesty, Miss Xu is infatuated with her ministers, and her ministers are not plants and trees, how can she not know. On that day in the western frontier, she disguised herself as a man and rode out with us men, and once I ordered to chase the enemy and asked to tie people to horseback, and after three days and three nights, she was so tired that she vomited blood and fainted. In my curtain, like an ordinary sergeant, she eats coarse grains, wears iron clothes, marches day and night, and never complains, such a strange woman is the only one in the world. However, Miss Xu is a woman after all, she went out behind her father's back, she was already unfilial, she put on makeup and joined the army, and was almost named a military horse, if so, it is a bully, so a woman who deceives the king and is not filial, and does not abide by women's virtues, even if it is good, the minister will not dare to marry him. ”

Jiang Wei's previous words, I listened to it and thought it was good, but after hearing it, he actually said that Ling'er was not filial piety and bullied the king, and did not abide by women's morality, so he couldn't help but be furious, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Jiang Wei! Xu Linger went to the front enemy as a woman, served the country, killed thieves and made meritorious contributions, she protected Ji Han's country, what is there to bully the king? Ling'er can't stand the control of her family and runs away from home, so naturally she is wrong, but you put the big hat of not keeping female morality and unfilial piety to her head on her head, you don't want to think about it, who is she doing this for? No wonder I heard Xingcai say that she was seriously ill, so you hurt her like this. Did you know that she did everything for you? Anyone else can talk about her, but you can't! ”

Jiang Wei knelt down and bowed again: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." I'm sorry Miss Xu, but I have nothing to say. ”

Zhuge Qiao said on the side: "Boyo, Your Majesty originally wanted to help you help you, let Ling'er return to the Xu family, and let the Xu family agree to have a family affair with you, wouldn't everyone be happy, I didn't expect you to say such a thing." ”

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and finally kowtowed: "It's always the minister who can't live with Miss Xu." ”

Seeing him like this, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help touching his chin with his hand, but he was helpless. I saw that he was resolute, and I didn't want to say anything more, anyway, he was a meritorious return, and he was my partner, and the matter of marriage was none of my business, so why did I bother with this effort. At that moment, I turned the conversation and no longer mentioned Ling'er, only talked to him about his childhood, and talked about the situation in Chang'an, and talked about Xiqiang and Xianbei. Just as I was talking happily, it was getting dark outside, and Zhuge Qiao pulled me. I was stunned for a moment, and Zhuge Qiao said: "Boyo, you just came back, take a good rest, and you will enter the court tomorrow." After a curfew, His Majesty and I came in small clothes, so I went back first. ”

I thought to myself that I was afraid of a curfew, but when I saw Zhuge Qiao winking at me, I responded, "Yes." Rest, I have a lot to say to you when I come back this time, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

At that moment, I came out with Zhuge Qiao. I asked him, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" I wanted to have a night talk with Berjo. ”

Zhuge Qiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know why Jiang Boyu did not agree to Miss Xu's marriage?" ”

"Why?"

Zhuge Qiao said: "Looking at Boyo's appearance, he is not unwilling in his heart, but there is some reason why he has to give up." In Ji Han, there is only one person who can make him go against his wishes and His Majesty's kindness and play this woman. ”

"Who?"

"Jiang Boyo's mother."

Jiang Wei is a filial son, his father Jiang Jiong died during the Qiang rebellion, when I was looking for a companion, their mother and son were taken to Jingzhou by the fourth uncle, and later to Yizhou, to Chang'an. Listening to Zhuge Qiao's words at this time, I couldn't help but think, could it be that Jiang Wei's mother had already married him, so he would use such an excuse to prevaricate?

We quickly headed to Jiang Mansion. Jiang Mansion is located next to Dongshi and is a small courtyard with only one house. In addition to Jiang's mother, there are only three or two old families here. Later, I gave Jiang Mu four maids, but she retreated, saying that she was too old to have so many people to wait. This is a very virtuous old mother.

The old family on the door is named Jiang Tong, and he fought with Jiang Wei's father in his early years. Zhuge Qiao often came to visit Jiang's mother, so he knew each other. As soon as he saw it, he saluted and said, "Master Zhuge is here." I'll give you a message. ”

Zhuge Qiao said: "No need, I am in love with Bo Yue, Bo Wei's mother is my mother, how can I have a son to report when I see my mother." With that, he lifted his leg with me and walked in.

The room was already lit up, and two figures were reflected in the window, an old woman and the other a young man. Could it be that Jiang Wei still has a younger brother? I looked at Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Qiao was also stunned. But I heard Jiang's mother say: "Child, you come to accompany me every day, tease me, help you solve your worries, and wash for me, it's hard for you." ”

The young man said, "Auntie, tomorrow Boyo will come back." ”

Jiang Muxi said: "Yes, he has seen His Majesty, and he will go home." You'll be able to meet him, too. ”

The young man was silent for a long time, and after a moment he said, "Auntie, from tomorrow onwards, I will not be able to accompany you." Also, when you see Beryo, don't mention what I've been here. ”

Jiang Muqi said: "You are not Uncle Jiang's brothers, why don't you see him?" ”

The young man shook his head and said sadly: "Auntie, don't ask, anyway, don't mention me to him." ”

Mother Jiang hurriedly said: "Good boy, don't cry, don't cry, what's going on, you said to me, did he bully you, so you don't want to see him, or what's wrong." ”

The boy burst into tears, turned and fled. Mother Jiang said hurriedly: "Child." "Get up and chase after it.

As soon as the young man went out, he met Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao said: "Don't go. The young man lowered his head and ran away from tears, not expecting that there was someone in front of him, so he naturally stretched out his arms. Zhuge Qiao is not a weak scholar, we learned martial arts from Zhao Yun together, his martial arts are still above me, he will meet his arms, take advantage of the situation, this style of "return to the dragon potential" even eliminate the fight, use it very freely, can make the opponent turn a few circles in a row, eliminate the power to move forward. But as soon as it was used, a strong force suddenly attacked, Zhuge Qiao took a few steps back, and he was knocked away.

I coughed. When the young man saw me, he stood still.

Chen Yu?

The skinny young man in front of me with a pair of big eyes is actually my new Tanhualang Chen Yu.

However, what appeared in Jiang's Mansion at this time, how could it be "Chen Yu".

Xu Ling'er?

In an instant, on Liangzhou Road, the little woman with a graceful and wishful spirit appeared in front of her, and where did she get together with the skinny young man in front of her? Except for those big eyes, there is no resemblance. But in front of her, she didn't have time to pretend to be reserved like Tanhualang, and her disdainful eyes had already betrayed her.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Ling'er, you're here too." You've been so deceived. ”

When Xu Ling'er saw that I recognized her, she fell to her knees and cried out. Love is a thing, can it make people so miserable?

I said, "Don't cry, don't cry, everything is up to you." ”

But he said in his heart, what is the matter, a good Tanhualang and become a woman, will I use her in the future, or will I not use her? Forget it, there is a precedent for Sun Shangxiang, it's a big deal to really set up a women's barracks for her to make trouble with Guan Feng, Ji Han has been in a big war for a long time, and now that the recovery period is over, many local men have been conscripted and killed, and it is not impossible to set up a female barracks. In an instant, he made up his mind, and went in the door to meet the old lady.

"Aunt is well, I've come to see you."

"Your Majesty's suspicions are not bad, the concubine has indeed set a family affair for my son. It's just that there have been chaos over the years, and I don't know where my in-laws are now, and I don't know if the child is still there. However, people have no faith, they don't know what they can do, whether he is alive or dead, my family must always look for it, and I can't and shouldn't give up, otherwise he will come to the door in the future, how can I respond? I didn't expect this child to be a woman, so infatuated, just like my Liangzhou woman. Your Majesty, although the concubine is a woman, she will not look at people from the eyes of a layman, Ling'er joins the army as a woman, and it is also a common thing in Liangzhou, that is, the concubine, and she also went to the battlefield back then. Therefore, the difficulty is not in Ling'er, but in my in-laws. ”

Hearing Mother Jiang say this, I have nothing to answer, I can't use power to force her to be a traitor. It's a real hassle to do something good. At that moment, I told her that I would help her find it, and if she couldn't find it within three years, I would make the decision and let him get married.

Mother Jiang actually loves Ling'er very much, and nodded at the moment. I said goodbye.

April 5th, in the Xuanshu Temple. I talked about military affairs with Kong Ming, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Jiang Wei.

Kong Ming sat on the couch and pointed to the huge map on the wall with a feather fan and talked eloquently: "Fang is three points down today, and Ji Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu are all in power. Although Cao Wei is still the most powerful, it can not defeat us to the west, unable to cross the Yangtze River to the south, and after Cao Pi became the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei lost his moral supremacy, and can no longer coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. And our alliance with Sun Wu made Cao Wei even more afraid to raise troops easily. However, although our Ji Han took the initiative militarily, he did not swallow Cao Wei's strength in one bite; Soochow naturally has no ability to go north, in fact, at present, a delicate balance has been formed in the world, and each has entered a period of stable development. We must use this time to make every effort to develop the economy, accumulate grain, develop trade, and increase our strength. ”

Jiang Wei knelt on the ground and listened attentively, Ma Chao clenched his fist with one hand on his cheek, making himself fall down in a more comfortable posture, while Zhao Yun sat thoughtfully on the side, tasting a cup of chrysanthemums boiled in snow water, I don't know what to think, in another ten days, his two hundred recruits will be against Liaodong Jingqi.

"Cao Wei implemented Tuntian, built water conservancy, and achieved remarkable results, such as Liu Fu of Yangzhou Thorn History, Zhen Hefei, Guangtuntian, Xiu Shaobi, Rupi, Qimen, Wutang Zhuyan, to irrigate rice fields, public and private storage, for the benefit of the past dynasties. And Jia Kui's Yuzhou Thorn History, the south and the Eastern Wu are connected, he repaired the tools of war, built Ru Shui, built a new pi, and passed the canal for more than 200 miles. All of them have contributed to the development of Cao Wei. Cao Wei also has outstanding talent advantages and geographical advantages, and the states of the Central Plains have been rich since ancient times, which is an important guarantee for Cao Wei's strong national strength. ”

"As for the Eastern Wu, the place where they were based was originally a wild land, with few people, but the northern peasants who were in turmoil in the north, and the northern peasants who moved south to avoid the war brought advanced agricultural tools and a large number of laborers; The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is also suitable for agricultural production; They also conquered the Shanyue people, sent them down to the mountains to work in agriculture and joined the army, and their strength increased rapidly, and in addition, they developed porcelain making, shipbuilding, and their fleets could sail to countries that we had not seen, trade with them, barter, and bring back things that we had not seen. ”

"In contrast, our Ji Han founded the country late, and there were many battles, and our family background was naturally not as thick as Cao Wei and Eastern Wu. And if we want to develop Jihan, we can't help but solve the following problems. The state has four people, Shinong industry and commerce, and His Majesty takes the scientific examination to obtain scholars, and the students of the world return to their hearts; Your Majesty tun good land and water conservancy, then the people have a foundation; Your Majesty summons good workers and casts good weapons, and my Ji Han armor soldiers are sharp; Since the founding of the country, His Majesty has not regarded merchants as pariahs, reopened the Silk Road, opened the market widely, relocated merchants to trade, leveled prices, and helped urgent needs, so that it would benefit the people and the country, and promote each other with scholars, farmers and workers. As far as I know, just the batch of Daqin jewelry sold to Cao Wei made tens of millions of dollars, which is equivalent to the annual income of a small county. Moreover, we have the upper land of Guanzhong and the land of abundance in Yizhou, and we reward farming, attach importance to water conservancy, pay attention to improving the relationship between different races, and accelerate the development of border land. Reopen the Silk Road and develop trade. Seeing that our Ji Han can be thriving. However, if we want to develop, we still need to solve one problem, that is, border troubles. We have Cao Wei in the east, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Dongqiang in the north, and the Fifty Kingdoms of the Western Regions in the west, the Xiqiang Kingdom, and the Nanban in the south. ”

"Since the Zhuhu tribe belonged, my Han regarded it as an anomaly, the size of the officials, wanton bullying, recruiting good horse sergeants, the same tearing and killing, but refusing to give the same to the army, the same work, but to increase the tax burden, this kind of thing is still prominent in Xiliang. Therefore, the Qianghu rebellion in the Eastern Han Dynasty for 200 years was actually a man-made disaster caused by ordinary people in Luoyang City. For the first time since His Majesty ruled Xiliang, he gave them the substitution of the subjects of the Han State, recognized them as Han people, and allowed them to change their Han surnames, wear Han clothes, practice farming, and join the army. Originally, there were many ministers who objected, but later I found out that His Majesty's insight was lofty: people born in the sky are no different from Han and Han, but these Hu people were born in the desert far away, and the jungle is reckless, and they must shoot and hunt for a living, so they often practice fighting. If I am kind and caressed, food and clothing, then they are all Han people. Therefore, some barbarians have come and joined our army. Now there are Ma Liang in Shu, and the Southern Barbarians are not enough to trouble; And the country of Xiqiang, the soldiers are strong and strong, but you are defeated, the marshal of the country is killed by you, the prime minister surrenders, and the lord of the country escapes the snowy mountain. In one fell swoop, the Qianghu Rebellion, which has not been resolved for more than 200 years, what is the reason? It's not just your bravery that you can fight, but more importantly, your majesty's policies. ”

"However, the Xianbei we are dealing with now is completely different from the Qiang and Barbarian tribes. Xianbei country is more than 12,000 miles long from east to west, more than 7,000 miles wide from north to south, all of which are the hometown of the Xiongnu, once defeated Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, chased Ding Ling in the north, invaded the Han border in the south, and the power was extremely strong. Although Qianghu rebelled, he often thought he was a member of the Han Dynasty. Xianbei is the enemy of the Han Dynasty and takes pleasure in invading, and its country is directly related to whether the northern part of our Ji Han is stable, whether the Western Regions can be rebuilt safely, and whether the Xiongnu can be controlled by us, so in the next few years, we must solve them, at least one of them. ”

"Maybe you have to ask, why didn't we even solve Cao Wei, but we had to solve this great enemy that my Han hadn't solved for hundreds of years?"

"First, is Xianbei really strong and invincible? Otherwise, the Xianbei tribe has less than a million people, and is divided into three tribes and sixty small towns, which do not belong to each other. And when my Han was the strongest, there were more than 50 million people, which is equivalent to fifty Xianbei tribes. Even if I'm Ji Han, the number of people is twice as large as that of their clan. --As His Majesty said, there are still some errors in Ji Han's household registration statistics, and there are many hidden households, but in fact, Ji Han is more than this number. But why are the Han Dynasty so powerful, and they still dare to invade our border every year, this is because the outside of the Saiwai is poor, and the land outside the Saiwai cannot support so many people, so they have to loot everywhere, if they don't loot, they can't survive. Even, they captured Han captives and helped them catch fish to maintain their livelihood. ”

"Second, is my big man really too big to defeat them? The Xianbei people have always ignored the Han Dynasty, invaded wantonly for more than 100 years, and regarded the Han Dynasty as a piece of delicious fat. The Xianbei people looked down on the Han people, thinking that the Han people were incompetent, timid, and could not fight. But is it true? It's not that the big man can't fight, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to fight, but he can't afford to fight. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, all the money was concentrated in the hands of the emperor, eunuchs and ministers, and the wealthy families were rich enough to rival the country, and the treasury was empty. In the final analysis, fighting a war is about money, especially for an army like the Han Dynasty, which is mainly infantry, without huge military resources and sufficient military supplies, it is simply difficult for the army to move an inch. The Hu people's army is mainly light cavalry, and the soldiers are their clansmen and slaves, and they don't want to be warn, as long as they bring their livestock to fight. In the territory of the Han people, the population is large and the wealth is large, and the survival of the army can be maintained by fighting and fighting. But the Han army attacked them without such convenience. The desert is vast, deserted, and the winter is long, even if the Hu people and their livestock are plundered, it is difficult for the Han army to occupy the land and survive for a long time. For hundreds of years, in this boundless desert, the Han Kingdom, the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people, and some Qiang people have spent this kind of mutual attack, what is the result? The desert is still the world of the Hu people, and no matter how strong the Great Han Kingdom is, it has not turned the Great Desert into the territory of the Great Han Kingdom. No Xianbei people are worried that their desert will become a pasture for the Han people, and no one is worried that their own people will become slaves of the Han people. ”

"Third, the offense in the past two years is a good opportunity. Since the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei has been divided into three parts, attacking each other, and their strength has been greatly reduced. At present, these Xianbei adults are not as talented as Tanshi Huai. Cao Wei is only one-third of the Han split, and they can deter the three Xianbei tribes, which is why this is also a good time for us to solve them. Cao Wei threatened Xianbei and made Xianbei surrender because they had an iron horse in their hands, a tiger and leopard horse that could win like a wind battle! They dare to go deep into the grassland to fight, and they are not afraid of the Xianbei people escaping. And we also have a Liangzhou iron horse, our Liangzhou vest in the world, taller and stronger than Xianbei horses, our warriors have been in battle for a long time, and they are more light than Xianbei people. The Han Dynasty has been defeated over the years, and the only thing that is gratifying is that a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals have been played, whether it is Ji Han, Cao Wei or Eastern Wu. If you use such men and horses to open up the north, you will definitely gain something. ”

"Fourth, to control and curb the Hu people, we have had a lot of successful experience, the Hu people have a history of one or two hundred years of internal migration to the Han Dynasty, our ancestors used a variety of soft and hard methods, such as giving the land the king, pacifying and relative, moving to the state and county, opening the city in the border county, recruiting the children of the Hu nobles to settle in the capital, to study in Taixue, and even let them give up animal husbandry to learn to cultivate and farm. Because their lives have been improved and their survival has been guaranteed, many Hu people are grateful to the Han and loyal to them. The same is true of the Southern Xiongnu, belonging to the Qiang people, belonging to Karasuma, etc. We can solve them, and of course we can solve Xianbei. ”

"Fifth, it is Kebineng who sent an envoy. Originally, we had long wanted to go north, but we have not had the opportunity to free up our hands, and His Majesty called you back to Chang'an this time, so he had the intention of letting you go north, and it was at this time that he took the initiative to collude with me, which gave us an excellent excuse and added a good reason for us to meddle in Xianbei affairs. There are these five points, so I have discussed with His Majesty to fight a dozen steps. Even if he doesn't submit to Cao Wei, we have to beat him, he is too close to us. ”

Jiang Wei listened to Kong Ming's words and pondered: "I don't know how many people can I give?" ”

I handed the teacup to the waiter next to me to refill the water, and said, "There are too many people to give it to you." Ji Han is not rich, not to mention the side, I can't afford to consume just grain and grass. I will give you 5,000 iron horses, and you can go to the prairie to feel the situation, you can win the battle or defeat the battle, but whether you win the battle or lose the battle, you must have value, don't lose my face in vain. ”

Jiang Wei nodded: "Don't worry, young master, when have I ever lost your face." Accidentally, he called out his childhood scale.

I heard him call me young master, but I felt kind: "If you are meticulous, I will go to the prairie with you in two years." ”

Jiang Wei smiled: "I heard that His Majesty plans to send an envoy to the Kebi Neng Ministry?" ”

"Yes, that's the plan. I plan to use Deng Zhi as the envoy, and Wang Nan as the deputy envoy to assist him. ”

"The minister plans to make up for it, and then go together."

"The Xianbei people haven't seen you, it's not impossible for you to go quietly with you. It's just that beware of being discovered, I don't want you to be injured in Xianbei without fighting. ”

On April 6, I gathered hundreds of officials to announce the appointment of the Kojin. The champion Ma Bing was the Shangshutai Speaker, Chen Di and other nine people were Lang officials, and they were driven in the ban, and the rest were sent to various places to study government affairs as deputy positions after studying Shangshutai and the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the Han Dynasty, whether it was filial piety or filial piety, or Xiucai (Maocai), they could not be directly appointed to official positions, and generally had to serve as Lang officials to study government affairs for a period of time.

In this process, I quietly stuffed Chen Yu (Xu Ling'er) and Wang Nan into the Prime Minister's Mansion Knowledge, which was extremely mysterious, and I asked Kong Ming to set it up, mainly to investigate the news of Wei and Wu, carry out some sabotage, rebellion and other work, and rarely show up in front of outsiders after entering. In this way, the disappearance of the two of them will naturally not attract attention. In this way, "Chen Yu" is in the knowledge center, and Xu Ling'er can restore his daughter's body, and Wang Nan can also leave with the mission without being conspicuous in Chang'an City.

On April 10, Deng Zhi returned to Xianbei with Jiang Wei and Wang Nan with Yu Zhuqi and others. From Fengyi County to the north, there is the Shangjun of the territory of Bingzhou (including Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and a small part of southern Inner Mongolia), but after the Battle of Weinan, most of the Shangjun (northern Shaanxi and other places) west of the Yellow River have been included in our sphere of influence, and Cao Wei's power cannot be extended here. The northern part of Shangjun is actually controlled by Xianbei Xianbei in the west, and when you get there, whether it is Yu Zhuqi or Deng Zhi Jiang Wei, you have to be careful, otherwise it will be very dangerous, after all, the power of the Budugen group is very strong, and Xianbei has many fierce tribes, lawless, wild goose plucking, and plundering. Although Yu Zhuqi and Deng Zhi are both elite soldiers and strong generals, and they have various identities to cover, and there are tribes that are good friends with Yu Zhuqi, if you want to go to the central Xianbei of Kebineng without effort, it will take some effort.

April 15 was the last day I gave Zhao Yun and the others a month. Tomorrow, a hundred Liaodong elite cavalry will fight against the two hundred recruits of the military academy. I have a total of more than 1,000 Liaodong elite cavalry, all of whom were Liaodong soldiers captured during the Battle of Weinan. Except for a very small number of people who were ransomed by the Gongsun family, most of them were thrown into my army. After these Liaodong people were captured, their morale was quite low, and they felt that they were thousands of miles away from home and could never go back, and they were all like dead old men. But after all, people want to live, as long as there is a glimmer of life, they don't want to die, plus in this era, it is common to fight all day long and be captured. The captured warriors, turning around and forming a formation, can kill their former robes without any scruples, without the slightest hesitation. When they saw that I had not treated them as slaves, but had taken care of them as if they were my own soldiers, and that I had an army, their morale was restored.

They are now led by a military commander named Sun Jin brought out by the fourth uncle. Sun Jin's skills are not high, but he is easy-going and has a set of leading soldiers. When he heard that he was going to use these soldiers and horses to fight with his old master, he was surprised that he would not say anything, and then he tried to find a way to pick some weak and poor skills, and also tried to beat their morale. I didn't pay attention to this matter at first, but then I heard Li Sheng say it, and when the joke was told to the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle scolded Sun Jin, personally selected a hundred of the best Liaodong elite horsemen, and said that they defeated the two hundred recruits, and he paid to ransom them back to Liaodong. Now all the elite horsemen are like crazy, and they are all screaming, and they have to beat those recruits who have never been on horseback so that they can't find the north.

I know that the fourth uncle has confidence in himself on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is due to his character, and he would rather fail than let go of the water.

Win or lose, I think tomorrow will be a very fierce battle.

The next day's competition was held in the military academy, and I was there in person, not only because I wanted to pay, but also because I wanted to see the skills of the fourth uncle and Yu Ban.

In order to reduce damage, I ask that you do not use anything that is harmful to the horse, such as thistle terrestris and stinging horse nails. In this way, there is less space left for the fourth uncle to do so. Moreover, when I came here this morning, Li Sheng also told me the unfortunate news that more than half of the 200 people I handed over to the fourth uncle could not climb on horseback in this month. What's the matter! If this is the case, wouldn't the fourth uncle and them lose badly? Didn't I hurt the fourth uncle on a whim and make him lose face, it's not my idea. Thinking like this, I can't help but feel sorry for today's competition.

I knew that I would have promised him directly, what is it better than anything, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, but how can it be better. I can't help but regret my childishness in this matter.

The drums beat and the fight began. I sat on the high platform, and the third uncle, the fourth uncle, Ma Chao, and Yu Banfen sat beside me. Zhang Bao was dressed in a soldier's clothes and stood under the general's platform. He was deprived of the position of captain of the city gate, and he went to the military academy as a small soldier, which was really shameless. I heard that the third uncle also scolded him, saying that he was too uncompetitive. If it weren't for Ling'er's intercession, he wouldn't have been able to run away from this good fight. In addition to him, Guan Feng and Xu Ling'er also stood under the stage, these two people are now dressed in women's clothes, they are already military cadets, and like the students who have entered Taixue, their eyes can look at the sky, and they are different from Zhang Bao and other small soldiers.

In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars were in power, and they looked down on the generals who fought and killed, and everything was inferior, only the reading was high, but this situation changed when it came to the Three Kingdoms. So it didn't take much effort for me to set up this military school. But it is a bit laborious to summon students, because many generals have been fighting and killing all their lives, and they don't want their children to join the army, but want them to study and learn literature, and be comfortable as a peace officer. Therefore, the situation of military academy recruitment is not optimistic. I was a little angry at the time, and I almost wanted to forcibly recruit these noble children into military schools. But after Guan Feng and Xu Ling'er entered the military academy, the situation suddenly changed, what Huang Yong, Huang Zheng (Huang Quanzi), Li Yi, Li Qiu (Li Huizi, nephew), Xiang Chong (Xiang Favorite Brother), Zhang Yu (Zhang Yizi), Lu Xiang (Lu Kaizi), Ma Yu (Ma Zhongzi), ...... All joined the military academy. For a time, the military school seemed to be lively. Beauty is so powerful that I can't imagine it.

A horn sounded, that is, the Liaodong elite cavalry assembled, although there were only a hundred horses, but the elite soldiers who had been fighting for a long time moved, and the murderous aura soared into the sky. They held long bamboo knives in their hands and shouted and shouted.

The two hundred recruits of the military academy rushed forward, a group of eleven people, lined up in formation, the first four people lined up horizontally in a zigzag hand holding eight spears, the tip of the spear forward, the spear handle pillar ground, the last three people in the shape of a bow, two on the left and right sides holding a giant shield to protect each other, and finally two people holding a long knife, the whole look, actually formed an artificial horse rejection array. I swept it with my eyes and found that it was wrong, I was giving the fourth uncle 200 people, and there were 14 horse rejection formations at the moment, that is, there were only 154 people, and where were the 46 people. And I gave the fourth uncle these people to let him train cavalry, could he not want to use infantry to fight cavalry?

The drums beat again, and the competition officially began. The leader of the elite cavalry of Liaodong blew the horn on his chest, and a hundred bamboo knives were raised at the same time, and the war horse neighed, and was pulled up by the royal to raise his front hooves.

The leader shouted, "Whoa--drink--"

The elite rider behind him also pulled the reins and shouted, "Phew-drink--"

For a while, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the murderous aura was soaring.

I asked the fourth uncle on stage, "What are they called?" ”

The fourth uncle replied: "The Xianbei people of Liaodong called like this when they charged, they encouraged their morale through this shout, and also coordinated their pace through this shout, when their morale reached the peak, and when the pace reached the same pace, it would surge down like a flood that opened the floodgates, and it was unstoppable. The unorganized infantry, even if it was several times more numerous, would be rushed by them, and its battle formation would be broken in one fell swoop and suffer heavy losses. ”

At this point, the leader waved his sword, and the entire Liaodong elite cavalry of a hundred people lined up in a neat cone, like a sharp arrow rushing forward. Speed, the cavalry wants speed, and speed is the most terrible weapon!

But today is just a drill, and they won't have room to raise the speed to the top of their game. For in that case, the charging iron cavalry would knock the men and their weapons into the air, and the horses and cavalry would be pierced by the spears, which, though not equipped with iron spear tips for safety, could pass through the thin skin of men and horses with the force of such a force. Still, such a horse speed is already terrifying.

The neat iron hooves stepped on the ground, the flying smoke and dust filled the air, and the rumbling noise made the recruits tremble, but I found that the people I handed over to the fourth uncle were not desolate, they were as calm as Huan.

"Fourth uncle, these people haven't learned to ride horses, but they are very calm."

"This is General Wen Ze's idea, and the rejection of the horse formation is also his initiative. In fact, really on the battlefield, we can also use the real rejection of the horse array, the high rejection of the horse in a formation, the sergeant hiding in the rejection of the horse to attack the enemy, you can also use the car formation, the use of thistle terrestris and thorn horse nails, the best is the strong crossbow and Yuan Rong, an arrow to shoot him a string. It's just that today's drill, naturally you can't use this kind of thing. Therefore, Wen Ze used these people to form a horse rejection formation, so that the enemy's horses could not rush up, and every eleven people formed a small formation, and fought with the enemy in a small formation, and the small formations could also be coordinated, and it was also convenient to change the formation, which could effectively hit the enemy and save themselves. In order to adapt these soldiers to combat, I rushed around them every day with three hundred cavalry, sometimes jumping over their heads. So at the moment, although the Liaodong Jingqi is quite strong, it can't scare them anymore. ”

As he was talking, there was already movement in the horse rejection array, and suddenly there was a chorus of shouts: "Wind--" Forty-two headless bamboo arrows have flown out, although there are not many arrows, but they are neatly and intensively pounced on the Liaodong Jingqi, like a flock of birds entering the rice field, looking for their target. The Liaodong people raised their round leather shields to block their heads, but five or six people were still shot by arrows, and they were immediately discovered and stopped by the sharp-eyed referee. The men had no choice but to reluctantly stop, and the strong horses refused to stop, and were strangled by the riders to let out a burst of sorrow. They were "killed".

"Accelerate! Hasten! "The chieftain kept kicking his horses and rushed forward, and they were going to rush through this range, and when they came near, it was their world.

"Free fire! Shoot all the arrows! "The archers in the rejection array kept shooting arrows. But they were only three close to the enemy, and they only came and wounded less than twenty cavalrymen, and the enemy army had already rushed in front of them. The archers abandoned their bows and arrows and took up their halberds.

"Kill!" Liaodong Jingqi waved a bamboo knife.

"Kill!" The infantry met them in a repulsive formation. Rulin's spear made the Liaodong people unable to break head-on, and one of the Liao people could not hold the horse, so they pounced on the upper horse rejection array, and the four wooden spears without pointed ends were broken by the huge impact force, and the two were knocked down, and the knight fell to the ground, and an infantry pulled his neck with a bamboo knife, and he had to fall to the ground and not move.

More Liaodong people rushed into the gaps of the repulsion formation, but because the gaps between the formations were smaller, their conservatism caused them to lose their speed, and the battle became a grappling. The power of the horse rejection array was revealed, and the Liaodong people also began to move the real fire. From time to time, people were stopped and judged dead or seriously wounded.

The yellow sand was rolling in the whole field, and the intensity was abnormal.

When the Liaodong people still had more than 50 horses, the infantry in the horse rejection array was less than 60 people, except for the Liaodong people who were "killed" by arrows, the infantry casualty ratio still reached three to one. I can't help but be a little disappointed in this rejection of the horse formation, it seems that the fourth uncle has been defeated.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of the bone flute sounded! That was the signal for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge. Behind the Liaodong people, several tents suddenly fell, and forty-six cavalry cavalry swooped out of the tents and killed them from behind. They were dressed in the robes of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, holding the spears used by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, blowing the sharp bone flutes commonly used in the Qiang people's battle arrays, like wolves and tigers, and rushed straight over. For a time, the people of Liaodong were in chaos, and they were assassinated by spears before they had time to turn the horse's head. The stab in the back came so suddenly, it was difficult for them to guard against.

This is actually the end of the fight. Even if dozens of Liaodong people can easily turn around and meet the enemy, if they are really on the battlefield, a battle formation of hundreds or thousands of people, then it is absolutely impossible to change the formation, and the cavalry that has lost its speed in the melee will definitely not be able to withstand such an impact from the enemy.

I nodded and smiled at the fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, General Wen Ze, you still won." I can't imagine that you would dare to use infantry against cavalry, and you would dare to divide your troops. What I said must count, and I will take care of the horses of the military academy. ”

The fourth uncle smiled: "This is not forced by His Majesty. All you gave me were infantry, and in a month's time, it is rare to have more than 40 years of outstanding horseback combat. ”

"Okay, from today onwards, the Ji Han Military Academy will be officially established, and I hope that several generals will train more generals for Ji Han, so that the people of Ji Han will no longer suffer from swords and soldiers, and let the world restore peace again!"

When the third uncle, the fourth uncle, Ma Chao, and Yu Ban heard this, they stood up at the same time and said, "I will obey Your Majesty's will." ”

I said to the third uncle: "Third uncle, in fact, Brother Bud is not at fault, I punished him this time, just to sharpen his temperament." He's too inappropriate. I pointed to the audience, "And these girls and young masters, I hope that our military academy can refine all these stones and blocks of them into a hundred refined steel!" Ji Han in the future will depend on them. ”
