Hanhou

Li Danghu came to Yunzhong, firstly to exchange information on the grasslands and prepare for larger-scale military training; secondly, for the trip to Chang'an in May.

The emperor issued a decree to summon three people to Beijing. Apart from being curious about himself, he also witnessed the might of the frontier army.

After the decree came to Bianjun, Wei Shang and Li Guang communicated with each other, and soon understood the emperor's original intention.He proceeded to select elites from the army, and went to Beijing with Wei Yue, Li Danghu and Zhao Jia.

The military training over the past few months is also for the purpose of selecting the best from the best.

Performing martial arts in front of the emperor is by no means a trivial matter, whether it is successful or not has a great bearing on Bian County.

However, Zhou Yafu has an arrogant temperament, and he is still reused by Emperor Jing. One important reason is that he can use soldiers and train soldiers!

In contrast, Wei Shang and Li Guang are not looking for trouble when they have nothing to do. Wei Yue and Li Danghu also understand the essence of it. —Especially the arrogance and arrogance in front of the young emperor, it's pure water in the head.

As long as the two act properly and leave a good enough impression on Liu Che, the future will be bright.

Before the overthrow of Confucianism, the monarch and ministers of the Han Dynasty got along with each other, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.There is still a pre-Qin style in the court. Although there are monarchs who want their ministers to die, there are also ministers who will not die.

Because of the decree of Emperor Wen's dynasty, even if he commits a capital crime, he can lose money to save his life.

Of course, there are also unpardonable sins, such as rebellion.

With the early emergence of the Silk Road, the imperial court was distracted by gold, and the contradiction between Taoism and Confucianism was not as intensified as in history. Emperor Wu did not stage a newborn calf not afraid of tigers at the beginning of his accession to the throne, appointed Confucian scholars on a large scale, and reformed a series of systems , The action was so big that it angered the Queen Mother Dou, and was suppressed by this one.

In today's Chang'an court, the foreign relatives headed by Dou Ying, and the officials represented by the prime minister Wei Wan and the imperial doctor Zhibuyi skillfully maintain a balance. Wait for the governance policy of various schools of thought.

Emperor Wu didn't order virtuous and upright people who could speak out and speak out, Dong Zhongshu had no chance to go online for the time being, and Empress Dowager Dou still lived in Changle Palace.

The controversy between Confucianism and Taoism that appeared in the Jianyuan period was extinguished by the wings of butterflies before the flames were ignited.

With the gold brought back from the west, both Chang'an and the border counties focused their attention on "hacking the Huns to death and opening up business routes".As for the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, the conditions for intensification are not yet met in a short period of time.

Including Emperor Wu, Empress Dowager Dou, and civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, most of the kings and courtiers of the Han Dynasty were pragmatic.Gold is close at hand, and the most important thing is to get rid of the Xiongnu and make a lot of money.When the treasury is full and the army is invincible, there will be time to talk about other things.

There is inertia in history, but changes in details cannot be ignored.

The details kept piling up. Liu Che turned his face before he was enthroned, and carried out drastic reforms; Empress Dowager Dou remembered Emperor Jing's entrustment, and her attitude towards the new emperor was kind.In addition, there is a queen dowager lying across the palace, and the grandparents and grandchildren can live in peace unexpectedly.

This kind of peace cannot guarantee a time limit, but as long as Liu Che does not have a sudden whim, throwing the table with bare hands and throwing it 360 degrees, Queen Mother Dou will not take the initiative to suppress her grandson.

At its root, Liu Che is the son of heaven, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the lord of the world.No matter how powerful the Empress Dowager Dou is, after all, she is already old and has no reason to fight against her grandson if she does not touch the bottom line.

This time Liu Che summoned the three of Wei Yue to Beijing, and the time was set in summer, in order to watch the martial arts performance.The nobles in Chang'an had heard the news earlier, including the dandies from various families, and they all looked forward to witnessing the might of the frontier army with their own eyes.

In contrast, Nangong Hou Zhangsheng was much calmer.

After marrying Princess Yuyang, Zhang Sheng packed up his burden and went to the fief with the princess. He only returned to Beijing every few months. He had already seen how the frontier army fought.

As for why he came to Princess Tang Muyi, anyway, the imperial court did not clearly stipulate that he would like to be married to his husband, so what does it matter to others?

Especially the doctor who frowned at the meeting and made all kinds of "suggestions", Zhang Sheng was really annoyed, and directly said: If you have nothing to do, go to study books, and then talk nonsense, say nonsense, believe it or not, just move your fists, beat you Life can't take care of itself!

The Shaoqiying, which the emperor placed high hopes on, also took a deep breath.

If possible, they would like to compete with the frontier troops who entered Beijing.Even though they have never experienced the battlefield, they practiced rigorously every day and improved their riding and shooting. They are confident that they will not lose to anyone.

Cao Shi was looking forward to this very much, and practiced hard every day.

Peng Xiu, who was familiar with the frontier army, shook his head secretly, but he had no intention of interrupting the enthusiasm of the crowd, and suppressed the words from his lips. He only waited for the frontier army to arrive in Chang'an, and let the facts speak for themselves.

If it was an ordinary Han army, Shaoqi might be able to break his wrist.

However, when meeting the Yunzhong cavalry under the command of the third son of Wei and the Shangjun cavalry led by the eldest son of Li, the ability to ride less is really not enough.If they encounter the legendary Shaling infantry, their speed and endurance alone will make these young people who have never been to the border counties doubt their lives.

Thinking of the arrogance of these cavalry at the beginning of the cavalry battalion, Peng Xiu decided not to reveal a word, and let them truly see what the soldiers on the battlefield looked like after the frontier troops entered the capital.Kill their arrogance fiercely, so as not to turn their nostrils into the sky, think that they are the soldiers of the emperor, equipped with superior equipment, and practice a few times according to the art of war, they will be invincible in the world.

Zhao Jia has no way of knowing about the changes in Chang'an.

With Li Danghu's arrival in Yunzhong, the plan to enter Beijing was put on the agenda.

The companions have already been prepared. Among them, a thousand Yunzhong cavalry, five hundred infantry, and a hundred Hu cavalry are all appointed by Wei Taishou himself.Li Danghu's department is equivalent to him, and he also arrived this time, temporarily stationed outside Yunzhong City.

In May, the two teams will go to Chang'an together.

It's just that people have come, but there is a gap in supplies.

Seeing the civil servants from Shangjun, Zhao Jia's mind sounded an alarm, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the clerk greeted him with a smile, and then handed out a letter written by Li Taishou, which said that two boxes of gold had been delivered, and everything was entrusted to County Captain Zhao.

Holding the bamboo slips, Zhao Jia inhaled and exhaled, inhaled and exhaled again, the veins on his forehead swelled up, and he couldn't press it down.

The clerks kept their eyes open and watched their hearts, even if Zhao Jia breathed fire on the spot, he always treated him with a smile on his face.Even if the eyebrows and beard were scorched and pulled out casually, he still smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

In the end, Zhao Jia was exhausted and lost his temper. He waved his hand, signaling that the gold would be brought over, and the civil servants could step down.

"promise!"

The clerk kept smiling, walked out of the room, immediately oiled the soles of his feet, left Yunzhong County that day, and galloped back to Shang County.Don't look at just now laughing all the time, in fact, in the face of Zhao Jia's release of pressure, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the clerk, and his underwear was sticky.

Not to mention the fact that civil servants "run away for their lives", as far as Zhao Jia is concerned, since the matter is under control, he must do his best.

Fortunately, since he was transferred to the Yunzhongqi garrison, he has spent a lot of supplies besides training.

As a county lieutenant, he has the right to be in charge of the county arsenal.Taking advantage of his position, Zhao Jia summoned dozens of craftsmen to forge and repair weapons.Among them, bows and arrows and long knives accounted for the majority, and there were thick and high shields, which might not be able to penetrate even iron arrows.

Zhao Jia really wanted to add a layer to the wooden shield if it wasn't limited by the conditions.

It's a pity that the treasurer told him that even if he could do it, he didn't have enough iron pieces.The existing iron in the arsenal is mainly reserved for the manufacture of spears, knives and arrows, and is used as a shield interlayer, which cannot even arm a team.

Knowing that what the other party said was true, Zhao Jia didn't force it, so he could only change the plan and work hard on the wood for the shield.

In order to look neat enough, they also ordered people to mix paint to paint the leather armor, shields and weapons all black.The black armor, black shield, and black bow and spear look like a black torrent at first glance, and they look mighty and domineering.

Seeing the pawns changing into formation, Wei Yue was thoughtful.

Not long after, the cavalry in the cloud also began to change their outfits. The armor and weapons were changed to the same color, and even the colors of the horses tended to be the same.

Five thousand horses cannot be of the same color, so each team is the same.

Fifty war horses of the same coat color are not difficult to find, even if they cannot be found in the racecourse, there are still returning Hu tribes.

Knowing that entering Beijing this time will be accompanied by a hundred Huqi, Qiangqi and Xianbei will break their heads, and Wuhuan people with average combat effectiveness will join in, risking everything, just to win a few places.

Wei Yue asked for a horse, and all the ministries rushed to offer it.

If there is not enough in one's own tribe, go to other tribes to grab it.Regardless of whether he came from the same clan, or whether his ancestors had made an oath, as long as he didn't surrender to the Han, he would be an enemy, and there would be no pressure to hack the horse to death.

In this way, in less than half a month, the ride in the cloud was changed.

After Li Danghu arrived, he saw the cloud cavalry with the same color of armor, the same weapons, and the horses could not tell the difference in coat color, and he was very envious.Sending a letter to his father overnight, this was the scene where the official sent money and asked Zhao Jia for help.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia's collection of materials was not a case, but a review, and the horses sent by Hu's department were also surplus, and some were transferred from the county and sent to Li Danghu's department, which was more than enough.

In addition to equipping horses, Prefect Li even exchanged the rations of the army into gold, really not bothering the two masters.This made Zhao Jia quite helpless. I don't know how many times he sighed, but the history books really couldn't be trusted.

Who would have thought that Li Guanghui would have such a personality?

It sounds good to entrust trust, but it sounds bad to throw the pot away.

Helpless is helpless, work still has to be done.

Zhao Jia transferred civil servants from the county, and on the basis of the original supplies, everything began to double.

Fortunately, Shaling County finally has a county magistrate, and the county magistrate does not need to continue working overtime with his life, and he can take a breath occasionally.

If not, Zhao Jia would transfer people every three days, and the transfer would last for half a month, and if some were transferred away and would not be returned, there would be an outbreak in the whole of the official temple, and the county magistrate would probably pick up a knife and fight the county magistrate to the death.

"Summer clothes, winter clothes, you need to prepare three pieces of each."

"In addition to the armor, knee pads and arm pads are also prepared."

"Army rations are prepared for 4000 people. Wheat cakes, noodles, and Iraqi noodles must be prepared in advance. In addition, beef and mutton jerky, chickens and ducks must also be stored. If the quantity is insufficient, they can be exchanged at the livestock market."

"The sauce comes from the county city."

"Shoes are provided separately, and the cavalry has new boots."

"The arrows are all made of goose feathers."

"The army prepares more medicines, wound medicines, pain relief pills to relieve heat, and summer heat... and prepare two carts of saltpeter."

Zhao Jia checked each item, and the clerk held the wooden slip and wrote quickly.

Although this should be the job of the chief bookkeeper, after Zhao Jia entered the camp, he somehow started to manage the logistics.It turned out that the Shu Zuo who did these jobs got rid of the copybooks, put on armors, grabbed knives, and went out to chop people with Yun Zhongqi every day, and the waves were so rough that they couldn't catch them.

Zhao Jia went to Wei Yue, and the third son of Wei was silent for two seconds, and suddenly he held Zhao Jia's hand, his black eyes reflected his shadow, and his tone was very sincere: "Thank you, Ah Duo."

It wasn't until he walked out of the room that Zhao Jia came back to his senses.After I understood it thoroughly, there was only one thought in my mind: Wouldn't my conscience hurt if he was so black?

As Zhao Jia took over the military supplies, the warehouses in the fortress quickly filled up.In order to store the extra supplies, Wei Yue had to bring a group of prisoners from the county town and build several warehouses.

Thanks to these warehouses, after the Shangjun cavalry arrived, they could change their clothes calmly without being in a hurry.

When the incident reached the ears of the Bianjun bosses, Zhao Jia added many comments such as "excellent work ability" and "preparation for a rainy day".

The reputation spread to Bianjun, and even the emperor of Chang'an had heard of it.

Such a talent should be entrusted with important tasks.

For Zhao Jia, this trip to Chang'an was destined to be a pit, and a deep pit from which he could not climb out.
