At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"You all go back and do what you have to do, Ajin, you should pay more attention to daily government affairs, Queen, the harem, I'll leave it to you."

Guo Peng held Cao Lan's hand with one hand and Guo Jin's hand with the other, saying his final farewell to them.

Then bid farewell to the other concubines and other children one by one.

I hugged the youngest daughter and son, and said goodbye to the grown-up children one by one, asking them not to miss their homework.

Their teaching responsibility was entrusted to Guo Jin by Guo Peng, which means that when the father is away, the elder brother is like a father, and the brothers and sisters should respect the elder brother Guo Jin as they respect their father.

Then Guo Peng saw Guo Jin's hesitation and anxiety.

"There is a first time for everything. You will worry and be afraid. I don't understand your worries, but A Jin, you have to face it. You have no shirkable responsibility and you have no choice."

Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand and led him a few steps forward: "When my father left Lu Gong for the first time to lead the army to fight, he also felt anxious and worried about whether he would lose the battle. , Worrying about whether he would die.

But under the pressure of the current situation, my father has no choice. I don’t want to kill people. People kill me. It is so cruel. My father has come all the way. It is the same for you. One day you will have to leave your father and go on your own Go on, this kind of attempt, sooner rather than later. "

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder.

"Wei State's foundation was laid down by my father. If you want to inherit it, you must do certain things. You must be decisive, tenacious, and brave."

Guo Jin nodded.

"The son will work hard and will not let his father down."

"Go, when my father is fighting on the grassland, I hope to hear your evaluation of your safety and meticulousness in handling affairs in the court. Don't let my father worry."

"Yes."

Guo Jin bowed and saluted, respectfully sending his father off to the Northern Expedition.

Guo Peng didn't stay any longer, put on his battle armor, got on his horse, and embarked on the journey surrounded by thousands of people.

When leaving the palace city and heading north to Luoyang City, along the way, there will be a large number of Li people watching the emperor's expedition.

Before Guo Peng set off for the expedition, he announced this matter very early and made a good publicity. Basically, everyone in Luoyang knew that the emperor was going this time to completely wipe out the Xianbei people.

For today's Luoyang people, the memory of the panic of the Xianbei people is relatively distant.

Most of today's Luoyang people come from Qingyan and Erzhou, and a small number come from Hebei and the South.

Ten years have passed since Xianbei rampantly caused panic. Even for the original Hebei people, such memories are quite distant.

They didn't even pay attention to the news of these Xianbei people for a long time, thinking that they no longer existed, but when the news of the emperor's large-scale northern expedition came out, they realized that the Xianbei people were still there.

The Wei army always took the initiative to attack, and did not give the Xianbei people a chance to go south to knock down the pass. However, the Xianbei people still maintained considerable strength and needed the emperor to lead a large number of troops to personally march north.

The emperor's Northern Expedition was to eliminate the Xianbei people, to make the Xianbei people no longer exist, and no longer have the opportunity to go south to pass.

The purpose of the emperor's Northern Expedition was to completely wipe out the tribes on the grassland and turn the grassland into the territory of the Wei Empire, so that the border residents could roam freely on the grassland from now on.

That is to say, once the emperor wins this battle, from then on, there will be no more captives from the north, and everyone will be able to live and work in peace and contentment from now on, and no longer have to worry about being robbed to the grassland and not coming back.

What a great emperor, what a great cause.

After a period of publicity, the whole of Luoyang was discussing such things, praising the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor.

They sang the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor, just like when they supported His Majesty the Emperor when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor.

The difference is that this time, it feels closer to them.

If all the northern captives are eliminated, everyone will be safer, right?

Wouldn't it be great that no barbarians on horseback and sabers would come rushing in front of us to burn, kill and loot?

So on the day when Guo Peng set out to fight, whether it was because of this kind of emotion, or because he wanted to join in the fun, or because he wanted to see what the emperor looked like, anyway, almost all the people in Luoyang were dispatched Yes, there are huge crowds of people.

Guo Peng did not sit in his own carriage, but rode on the horse all the time, wearing armor, and used the most heroic posture to let the people see who their emperor really was.

Let them see, touch, and know who is ruling them up close.

The people saw the heroic emperor in battle armor, and the majestic emperor surrounded by thousands of people.

This, is the emperor who never lost a battle and eventually established the Wei Empire, His Majesty the Emperor of them all.

Guo Peng rode on the horse all the way, at a not slow speed, while watching his subjects while advancing.

The team was very long and there were many people. Although the singing and dancing were not mentioned, the sound of the drums never stopped.

I don't know when it started, but suddenly, cheers like [Wan Sheng] suddenly sounded.

It seems that the crowd shouted out, one or two, and then gradually converged into a voice that could shake the world.

Soon, such voices spread throughout Luoyang, and such shouts could be heard inside and outside the entire Luoyang city.

This is a sense of trust without any doubts about Wei Jun's expedition, and without any doubt that they will win.

Amid such shouts, the emperor still maintained a majestic look, without any change in expression.

And the pace of the army has not been affected in any way.

They still stepped on extremely firm steps, and walked out of the city in accordance with the long-standing norms.

The time of return is also the time of return of glory.

The army that Guo Peng personally led from Luoyang City was actually only a part of the imperial army, about 3000, 5000 elite imperial army, Guo Peng took away 3000 people and left 2000 for Guo Jin.

Dian Wei was taken by Guo Peng, Xu Chu was left to Guo Jin by Guo Peng, and Xu Chu was asked to lead the remaining forbidden troops to protect Guo Jin at close range, while Dian Wei led the other forbidden troops to follow Guo Peng to the battlefield.

The imperial army has always been the ceiling of the quality and combat effectiveness of the Wei army group.

Use the best weapons, eat the best food, and guard the emperor with the highest security level.

Their mission is to make ghosts dare not approach the emperor, and anyone who approaches the emperor with hostility will be wiped out from body to soul by them.

At other times, they would also play the roles of messengers of justice, Gestapo, special forces, etc. from time to time, taking on different responsibilities, just to meet the needs of the emperor.

Compared with the guards, the imperial army is more like the emperor's private army, the kind that in the true sense does not listen to anyone's orders except the emperor's own.

Guo Peng was guarded by such a group of people who blocked and killed the Buddha.

Facing the reverent eyes of his subjects, he left Luoyang City, the imperial capital, the most prosperous international metropolis in the country, and headed for the foreseeable future.

chapter 1087 one thousand and ninety-one exclusive royal chariot of someone Guo

After the emperor left Luoyang, the main force assembled outside the city also went out. The huge number of troops marched northward with a mighty majesty.

But after a performance, Guo Peng could no longer lead the whole army to perform.

He boarded his exclusive [chariot] for the expedition, and began to meet the ministers who went out together in the chariot, and deal with the government affairs that needed to be handled by him.

Well, this side is starting to go to war, and that side is about to start dealing with government affairs.

Even if it is a war, the emperor has to do the same thing.

Speaking of this [Chariot], it is not so much a chariot as it is a mobile home.

Judging from the outside, this is undoubtedly a large carriage, so large that many people have never seen it before.

But as the Emperor's [Chariot], it should be so big.

From the outside, there is nothing special except that it is big, the same decoration, the same carving, elegant and solemn, in line with the dark-colored appearance that Guo Peng likes.

But when you get inside, it's a whole other world.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. There are not only a miniature version of the study room, but also a miniature version of the bedroom, and even a toilet.

This is after Guo Peng decided to go to war, in order to please Guo Peng, Tian Feng ordered the Ministry of Industry to spend a few months to gather all the capable craftsmen to carefully build the emperor's exclusive [chariot].

Everything aims at comfort and high defense, and the emphasis is on low-key but not luxurious, practical but not rough.

When the chariot was built, Tian Feng confidently invited Guo Peng to visit the royal chariot and introduce him one by one.

In the reduced version of the study, there are tables and chairs instead of cushions and desks.

Unlike in the palace, tables and chairs are placed here for convenience, and they are specially fixed to ensure that they will not shake when the road is not smooth enough.

When reading, writing, or dealing with government affairs, I will not feel uncomfortable.

There are many things on the table that are also fixed, such as the inkstone, the candlestick, and the pen holder, all of which were built together with this table, as if they just grew on it.

On the left hand side of the desk and chair is a bookshelf, and there are many boxes built on it. All important documents can be placed in the boxes without worrying about falling down.

The reduced version of the bedroom is also quite small and exquisite, with everything that Guo Peng needs to sleep and turn over, and there are curtains that can isolate the bed from the outside space, making it look like a separate small bedroom.

Guo Peng can take a nap here when he is overworked.

There is also a curtain around the toilet. When Guo Peng is in a hurry, he can pull the curtain to create a rather private and small space, which is safe and convenient.

There is a wooden barrel under the toilet, and every time Guo Peng finishes his toilet, the accompanying eunuchs will immediately replace the wooden barrel with a new one, so as to prevent the emperor's living space from being filled with indecent smell.

Of course, in order to further make the emperor more comfortable, incense is always kept in the car.

During the day, it is an incense that can refresh your mind, and at night, it is an incense that helps you sleep. The medical center led by Hua Tuo specially prepares it for one person, Guo.

Taking a shower is no problem either.

The space in the car is large enough, and the eunuch team will prepare a wooden bucket for Guo Peng to take a bath, boil hot water and pour it in, and then Guo Peng can enjoy the bathing time in the car alone, and there is no problem asking someone to take a bath .

In addition to these devices, there is also an ice mirror in this car, in which ice cubes can be placed.

Because it was summer and the weather was hot, it would be very hot to stay in the car all the time. Considering this, Tian Feng asked the craftsman to design an ice mirror with ice cubes inside, which would melt the ice slowly. Then let out a leisurely cool air.

In this way, no matter how hot the outside of the car is, the interior of the car is very cool.

Whether it is day or night, no matter what time, as long as the emperor needs it, there is no problem in ensuring the supply of ice cubes in the car [-] hours a day.

In order to supply sufficient ice cubes, during the expedition, the team also had saltpeter specially prepared for Guo Peng to use ice. The amount of preparation was prepared according to the year, regardless of the cost.

Not only that, Bingjianli can also chill fresh fruits, iced juices, various beverages, and various fresh and cold foods to ensure that the emperor will not be troubled by the heat.

In short, the original intention of the design of this car is to allow Guo Peng to satisfy any physiological needs without leaving the car. Even when the army camps at night, Guo Peng does not need to get out of the car, and there is no problem sleeping in the car.

It doesn't matter even if serving the emperor alone costs the expedition fee of a thousand big soldiers.

How can a thousand big soldiers compare the significance of Guo to the entire Wei Empire?

Comparing it like this, it's a huge profit, so what's the cost?

How can you calculate the cost of serving the emperor?

The emperor was the only exception in this army.

Guo himself believed in this.

As long as they needed it, let alone artillery, it would be no problem to draw a picture and ask them to get a gun for themselves. They promised to make a complete "gun" for Guo Peng to play with according to the picture.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it can be started, whether it is a work of art or an industrial product.

For the sake of the emperor, they can turn any industrial product into a work of art, and it is not impossible to surpass the times.

But what Guo wants is mass-produced industrial products, not exquisite works of art. After all, works of art can transcend the times, but they cannot change the times.

So these things don't really make much sense.

Still, this cool and pleasant royal chariot is quite comfortable.

The weather in late May is not cool no matter how you say it, and it is even quite hot in many cases, so with this car, Guo Peng's journey will be much easier.

When it’s hot, take a rest in the car, eat some iced fruit and drink some juice. Although it’s not as cool as in the Luoyang Palace, it’s really much more relaxing than the way it was a long time ago.

A long time ago, when he was leading the army as a general, Guo Peng still shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

A soldier eats what he eats, he rests how he rests, and he takes a bath as a soldier does.

March together, walk together, fight together, and bleed together, thus becoming the most powerful warlord step by step and establishing the Wei Empire.

Today is different from the past, he is the emperor, some things cannot be the same as in the past, there should be a sense of distance, there should be a sense of particularity.

After all, he is an emperor, not a general.

When Guo Peng needs to go out to show his face, he will go out to show his face on a horse, to encourage the soldiers, and to say that I am with you, which is enough to make the soldiers excited for a long time.

Most of the other time, he will handle government and military affairs in this car, and enjoy unique luxury services by the way.

The ministers who needed to discuss issues with him got into the car one by one, discussed face to face one after another, and then made a decision and sent it back to Luoyang for Yousi to execute.

Because it has many uses and is very practical, Guo Peng thinks this car is actually pretty good.

After discussing with Tian Feng about the further renovation of the Yellow River, he praised Tian Feng for it.

"You can think of this step for me, Yuan Hao, you did a good job. I like this car very much."
