After returning to Luoyang, the New Year was approaching, the yamen was basically sealed, and the whole city fell into the lazy atmosphere of the previous year.

The expansion of the army and the recruitment of troops were completed one after another in the two months of November and December.

Wu Qian was still in charge of this matter, and Yu Liang and Xu Lang assisted from the side.

Lao Wu is now the owner of the building in the left guard, but he doesn't really care much.

People in their fifties, and their martial arts are very ordinary, so they are not suitable for continuing to eat the bowl of rice of martial arts.

Wu Qian also thinks so.

He managed the whole building of soldiers, and he relied entirely on good relations with the thorns, calling him brothers, eating and drinking.

In addition, with Shao Xun's tiger skin, the thorns were done, and everyone else was fine.

But Shao Xun kind of wanted to transfer Wu Qian back.

The younger brother and nephew still need to study, and they can't take on the big responsibility, and Jin Guyuan lacks a confidant in charge, and Lao Wu is the most suitable.

Let's talk about this after the New Year.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Shao Xun breathed a long sigh of relief after reading the roster of the two armies of the silver spear and the long sword.

At least from now on, Sima Yue couldn't kill him easily.

Mobilize the forbidden army from within the system, first of all, there will be people who will report the news, and there will be people who will disobey the yang, and then there will be people who will persuade Sima Yue to "calm his anger", make it around, and be unable to move troops for half a day - provided that Shao Xun does not openly rebel.

Even if he mobilized troops and mobilized 10,000 or 20,000 horses, Shao Xun would have already run to Yunzhongwu and be ready to fight.

One or two thousand horses are under the dock fort, and only one or two thousand people can be dispatched at a time, just with these forbidden troops who have been trained for less than a year, and they are still half-hearted, and they don't plan to really kill Shao Xun, Sima Yue is afraid that he will vomit blood in anger in the end.

In other words, the current forbidden army, although Sima Yue can command, but he no longer has that absolute control - in fact, Sima Yue can't do this in the forbidden army before the Battle of Dangyin.

If he wants to kill Shao Xun, he may have to transfer troops from other states. But is it worth it? The cycle is so long, Shao someone has already run away quickly, or thought of other ways to resolve it.

Of course, although Sima Yue can't kill Shao Xun easily, he can still cause serious damage to his career, and Sima Yue himself will lose his prestige and pay a lot of price.

Lose both! Unconsciously, Shao Xun had come to this point.

"Zhang Fang's fate will most likely not fall on my head." Shao Xun smiled and said, "Feng Yi is too guarded, there is an egg!" Really listen to you when Feng Yijun listens to you? Troops that are not pulled up by themselves will never be reliable. ”

Zhang Fang was a Taishou, but he was unable to effectively mobilize Feng Yijun's resources.

Shao Xun is not too guarded, but he is sure that the vast majority of the world's guards can't pull out troops like the 2,200 Silver Spear Army and the 800 Long Sword Army, let alone directly control the five or six thousand households like him, and can effectively mobilize every cent of resources produced by these thousands of households.

Yes, I can't get the "false name" of Taishou right now, but so what? My true energy is no different from that of Taishou.

"Lang Jun, Governor Chen is here." Tang Jian walked over lightly and reported.

When I heard the word "Chen Du", I didn't react for a while, but only later did I know that it was Chen Yougen.

There is a system in the country, and the superintendent army is called "superintendent" or "superintendent".

Emperor Wu Sima Yan once issued an edict to "strike the Shanyang State to supervise the army".

The Luoyang Chinese Army once had the establishment of the Upper Cavalry Governor, the Heterotic Governor, and the Youzhou Cavalry Governor, and its chief officer was called "Governor" or "Overseer".

If it is to supervise several armies, it is the "Governor of the Army", referred to as the "Governor".

Chen Yougen is now the commander of the Long Sword Army, and it is no problem to call him "Chen Du" or "Chen Dujun".

"Let's go!" Shao Xun no longer hesitated, and immediately went out of the courtyard, put on his armor and mounted his horse.

Chen Yougen brought the fifty long sword army warriors over.

"Have you recruited warriors lately?" Shao Xun asked.

"Dozens more were raised, and many of them were outlaws scattered among the mountains, forests and grasses." Chen Yougen said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter." Shao Xun said: "In the first month, I went hunting in the mountains, called all the sons, and I observed them one by one. ”

"No." Chen Yougen was relieved.

The Long Sword Army is different from the Silver Spear Army, this is a force with a very strong atmosphere of desperate fighting.

Fundamentally, there are no good people here, and good people can't stay.

In the early days, most of them were Shao Xun's personal soldiers, that is, the teaching team.

Later, he joined many generals, and he was also a bold man who followed Shao Xun to fight Daxiamen, Xuchangcheng twice, and Liu Qiao's father and son three times.

Shao Xun controlled this army by virtue of prestige and kindness.

His prestige is fought again and again, and at the same time, his excellent martial arts are guaranteed.

Kindness is through hunting, rewards, etc.

This is not the case with the Silver Spear Army, which is a unit with strict military discipline to the bone.

The tone of the two armies when they formed an army was different, and there was no saying that one was superior and the other was inferior, both of which were useful.

Sometimes, when the two armies are at a stalemate on the battlefield, troops like the Long Sword Army are needed to "explode" and open the gap and create opportunities for the main force of the Silver Spear Army.

In short, the Silver Spear Army is the backing, and the Long Sword Army raises the upper limit, and both are indispensable.

The brigade soon came to Luoyang and entered Shaofu.

Shao Xun instructed the servants to take out all the meat and milk in the house and cook a delicious meal for the sons. At the same time, he took out a batch of cloth, and each person gave two horses as a reward.

"It's better to follow Lang Jun." The crowd praised: "If you can win the battle, you will also be rewarded with food, drink, and food." ”

"Hone your martial arts well." Shao Xun said with a smile: "In the future, which one of the beauties can't get money?" ”

When the people heard this, they applauded, and then scolded the former generals, looked down on people, and trampled their soldiers into the mud.

Shao Xun left with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after turning over and getting on the horse, under the escort of Tang Jian and others, he soon came to Sikong Mansion.

Meeting the princess and the prince a year ago and offering gifts was a rare opportunity for him to enter the palace in a year.

When I entered the house, I was still a little weak-hearted. But then I thought that this was only the third time he had set foot in this mansion this year, once to take the information compiled by Concubine Pei, once to give gifts and borrow money, this time it was a year ago, who would dare to say that I come every day?

When he came to the vestibule, Shao Xun saw Cao Fu, Yu Liang and others, all of whom had the word bad luck engraved on their heads.

"Cao Junsi." Shao Xun bowed.

"Hou Shenglang doesn't need to be polite. The old man, the military secretary, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for long. Cao Fu said.

Shao Xun was a little surprised, and a little abrupt.

Sikong won't come to Luoyang for a long time, sooner or later, right?

But the position of military advisor, how important, a large group of newcomers in Xuzhou, not qualified enough, I am afraid that they are not qualified to be military advisers, who will they give it to in the end?

"The military department has worked hard and made great achievements, and there must be arrangements for it." Shao Xun said.

"Huh." Cao Fu smiled faintly, what kind of person Sima Yue is, he has also seen clearly over the years, if he leaves Yuefu like this, there will be no compensation, and he will not be invited back.

When Sima Yue trusts you, it can't be better, and once you are born, you will be a passerby.

In the year and a half after the Battle of Dangyin, the part of people who stayed in Luoyang was basically abandoned. When Sikong saw them, most of them also responded in their hearts - I have lost consecutive battles, but you are thriving in Luoyang, how can you be embarrassed?

"If the military secretary has any difficulties in the future, he will send someone to inform him, and the servant will never refuse." Shao Xun took two steps closer and said in a low voice.

Yu Liang was beside Cao Fu, and when he heard this, he glanced at Shao Xun thoughtfully.

Cao Fu sighed and said, "It's rare that you have a heart, and you will come to my house more often in the future." ”

"Yes." Shao Xun responded.

Cao Fu now is indeed different from more than a year ago.

Cao Junsi, who knew that, could still vaguely see a few traces of hideousness when he gave orders, and now he is a pure old man.

But Shao Xun never dared to underestimate him.

How many things have you experienced in your life and how many people have you met in Cao Hong's time? Uncle Cao's latent forces and network are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface.

Sima Yue used to ask him to be a military advisor, not without reason.

"By the way, Sikong is going to make peace with the King of the River." Cao Fu said suddenly.

"What kind of peace is it?" Shao Xun asked.

Yu Liang and Xu Lang also looked for prestige.

"On the grounds that Zhang Fang is tyrannical and murderous, and steals and excavates the tombs of the emperors and princes, please kill him, so that peace can be negotiated." Cao Fu glanced at Shao Xun and said.

Shao Xun only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight.

Some people in the Sikong shogunate compared him to Zhang Fang, and Shao Xun had heard about it in several meetings.

Honestly, it's kind of like that.

If Zhang Fang is not cannibalistic, not brutal, and normal, Shao Xun doesn't mind making friends with him, because he really has too much common language.

As an old-timer who has risen from the bottom, Zhang Fang must have a lot of experience and insights, and after saying it, Shao Xun can avoid many detours.

How were you suppressed, ostracized, and humiliated in the Sima Hao shogunate? Is there a solution?

How should I deal with the rejection of the scholar class in the Sima Yue shogunate?

It's a pity that Zhang Fang may be dead, because no one in the shogunate will speak for him, on the contrary, it is full of slander.

His only chance to survive is to use his prestige over the years to firmly grasp the troops and make Sima Hao jealous.

"The King of Hejian is willing to kill Zhang Fang?" Xu Lang asked a little incredulously.

Cao Fu shook his head and didn't speak.

Shao Xun was also silent.

He suddenly thought of one thing, if Sima Yue let Mi Huang trap him, could he prevent it?

If you think about it, Mi Huang shouldn't be like this. But it's best not to let Lao Mi fall into this dilemma, and don't give people a chance.

Pei Sixteen walked out of it and softly called for everyone to enter.

Shao Xun straightened his robe and followed Cao Fu inside.

Cao Fu only bowed and saluted.

Shao Xun is now a general of the forbidden army, and it stands to reason that he only needs to bow down and salute, but he used to be Sima Ma, a lieutenant of the Kingdom Army, and he is considered a general of the Yuefu family, but he has to pay a big salute.

When facing the king and princess of the East China Sea, he theoretically even called himself a "minister", although Yang Xianrong always bewitched him as a "personal general of the Son of Heaven", and he didn't need to listen to Sikong's orders.

"Get up." Concubine Pei held her hands weakly, her eyes circled around Shao Xun, and after seeing the uniform on his body, she withdrew it.

The crowd was seated in order.

Shao Xun was not lined up at the door this time, but sat in the third position under Cao Fu.

The general in the palace, no matter how humble he is, people with lower status are embarrassed to sit on top of him.

"Sikong is in Xuchang to appease the Yuzhou scholars, and he will return to Luoyang in March at the latest." Concubine Pei's beautiful voice lingered in the room.

Shao Xun only felt pleasant to her ears, and the corner of her eyes occasionally fell on her face, and she found that there was a faint sadness, but the charm was better than before.

Twenty-five years old is the best years for a young woman.

"After March, there may be big events. The concubine is a woman's family, and it is not good to put too much beak. Concubine Pei continued: "I only hope that all the gentlemen will unite sincerely and help each other in great things. In the future, when it comes to meritorious deeds, you will inevitably wait for one. ”

"No." Everyone responded in unison.

Shao Xun's voice was slightly louder, and he seemed very loyal.

Concubine Pei glanced at him as if unintentionally, and then withdrew her gaze.

Then they talked about some trivial matters, and the prince said a few more words, and then they withdrew.

Shao Xun walked out of Sikong Mansion in a melancholy manner, and Tang Jian immediately led his horse over.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

"No." Tang Jian followed behind on foot with his own soldiers.

In Luoyang years ago, there were few people on the street.

But how to put it, when the war broke out in the past, there were no people on the streets, but it gave a very different feeling.

The people are "forgetful", they have forgotten the brutal war of more than a year ago, which may be a good thing, after all, people always have to look forward.

"The ...... who always have to farm" Shao Xun's mind suddenly echoed this sentence again.

The old man was lucky, he is still alive, and he took his children and grandchildren to farm in Pan Garden, and the family was reunited.

"Tang Jian." Shao Xun called softly.

"Lang Jun?"

"I'm going to fight in Guanzhong, what do you think I should do?"

"Maybe you should loot some more and come back?" Tang Jian said: "Before robbing the Xuchang arsenal, it was the things of King Fanyang that were moved, and if you rob the King of Hejian this time, it should be no big deal." ”

"What about after you grab something?" Shao Xun asked.

"Naturally, it will be transported back to Yiyang, or Guangchengze."

Shao Xun shook his head and said, "The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked, and the bird is good and the bow is hidden." I don't like to fight for Sikong, but sometimes, if I have the opportunity to work hard, at least I can ease the conflict. The descendants of the Sima clan all like to raise vicious dogs and kill them when they run out. There is success in the front, maybe there will be Zhang Fang in the back, who will it be in the future? ”

Tang Jian listened, his face turned slightly pale.

However, after being by Shao Xun's side for a long time, Tang Jian somewhat understood the current situation and didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He could even add that Sima Jian had killed Wang Bao, the chief bookkeeper whom he had once trusted so much, just because he was honest and straightforward.

Sima Ying killed Meng Jiu, a eunuch who had served him for many years, just to save the hearts of Hebei scholars.

"But maybe it's not so pessimistic." Shao Xun suddenly smiled again: "Sikong has never won a battle. ”

Tang Jian also smiled.

The two walked and walked past the Chengdu Palace.

Shao Xun stopped slightly and looked at the tightly closed door.

There was a sergeant standing guard at the door, and it seemed that Le's was still waiting for sin.

Shao Xun even forgot what charge Sima Yue had planted against Sima Ying, as if he was plotting rebellion? Obediently, who can withstand it?

After slowly returning to Shaofu, a servant came to report: the shogunate sent someone to send a batch of silk, copper coins, gold and silverware, and other things to reward Liu Qiao's father and son.

The largest number is silk fabrics, and the types are also relatively rich, with more than 10 kinds of silk, brocade, silk, Luo, yarn, etc., ranging from 50 to 200 horses each, totaling more than 1,000 horses.

Shao Xun picked up a horse casually and looked at it, the weaver used silk, royal blue, green, light yellow, white silk thread to weave a tree pattern brocade, there are decorative patterns, it is the same tree pattern, in a ribbon-like dislocation arrangement. The trunk is decorated with ribbons. The whole picture is full of changes due to the alternation of colors, which is amazing.

Shao Xun put down the brocade, picked up a horse and looked at it, the same ingenious workmanship: embroidered on two symmetrical long-horned lying sheep, below are some rare and exotic beasts, and there is a "expensive" word pattern at the bottom, the overall decoration is more complex, very artistic beauty, and the value should not be low.

These silk fabrics are much stronger than the "whiteboard" silk silk he used to send to his children. And it's not very easy to value, it is generally only circulated among the upper ministers, and it is not easy to buy if you want to buy, because it is all customized and not market-oriented.

Not to mention the pile of gold and silverware, which is also not very easy to value.

"The money for selling life has been sent down...... Shao Xun asked people to put things away, and then see if they can exchange some food.
