[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"Let him in." Li Mingzhu said loudly.

All the generals in Tiance Mansion looked at the gate together.

I saw Po Liuhan Baling in military uniform, full of energy, and able to walk in.

"What are you doing here?" Niu Jizong asked bluntly.

Po Liuhan Baling raised his hand to reveal the official document in his hand, "I follow the emperor's will to confer the rank of General Anbei from the third rank, form the Spike Army, and select the source of troops from Tiance Mansion."

Ran Feng grabbed the official document and opened it directly. After ignoring other long speeches, he read the main points with a few glances.

He nodded to the others, indicating that this official document was genuine, with the seal of Emperor Qi and the approval of the cabinet on it.

"Huh!" Niu Jizong's face turned black, don't get me wrong, this hum is not for Po Liuhan Baling.

He looks simple and rude, but in fact he is pretending to be confused. He thinks of the news that Li Mingzhu just revealed, and then sees the official document that has been approved by the cabinet. What else does he not understand?

It is clear that the civil servant left Kang Hetai, and after the internal disputes were resolved, they began to form a group.The emperor may indeed have intentionally ordered Liuhan Baling to form the Spike Army, so as to win the hearts of the Huns.However, it was definitely those civil servants who ordered the emperor to ask Po Liuhan Baling to draw troops from Tiance Mansion.

This is the second step in the civil servant's temptation.

Drawing troops from the Tiance Mansion can weaken the strength of the Tiance Mansion, and can implement "Tiance Strategies" to control the sky policy, and use the wolf tooth army to control the sky policy mansion. What ghosts does this Hun have in his heart? The soldiers under his command are all Zhou people, so there is absolutely no possibility of success.

After Niu Jizong figured this out, the other generals of Tiance Mansion also figured out the key point, and their faces were gloomy.

"Hmph! A group of villains who have sons without ass eyes!" Ran Feng opened his mouth and cursed.

As the No. [-] figure in the former Great Huns, Baling broke Liuhan, and he has seen this kind of thing a lot.

However, although he has now become a nail in the military of the Great Zhou to a certain extent, he has never thought of going with the civil servants.One must know that his girl is the leader of the Great Zhou army, he can never make an enemy of the girl, among other things, but his girl is angry, and he is not allowed to get close to him, or even marry him, what should I do?

After Po Liuhan Baling and others accepted the news, they said: "I have heard about the elite soldiers of Tiance Mansion for a long time, and I admired them very much when I saw them with my own eyes that day. They are indeed a unparalleled army in the world. I ask myself about the Spike Army under my command." They are all rare elites, but compared with the soldiers of Tiance Mansion, they are far behind."

Hearing this compliment, although the generals of Tiance Mansion still didn't give him any good looks, they finally felt a little better in their hearts.

It's not some cat or dog coming to flatter Tiance Mansion, they will all be happy!It's like an idiot and imbecile complimenting you on being smart, would you be happy?All the generals of the Tiance Mansion had seen with their own eyes on the battlefield that day how brave the Spike Army led by Poliu Han Baling was, fighting orders and prohibiting orders, especially the fearless appearance of death, even they were terrified when they saw it.To a certain extent, they all admire Po Liuhan Baling, and everyone can be regarded as sympathetic to each other.

After realizing that everyone's attitude had softened a bit, Po Liuhan Baling struck while the iron was hot and said, "I admire Tiance soldiers very much, but the method of training soldiers of the Spike Army is unusual, and it is unacceptable for new recruits who are not as white as paper. So I would like to ask Commander Li to assign three thousand recruits who are strong and healthy and not afraid of suffering. I am very grateful.” While everyone was attracted by his words and talking a lot, he handed a smile to Li Mingzhu. eyes.

The act of breaking Liuhan Baling was clearly a gesture of goodwill to the generals of Tiance Mansion.

After the Grassland War, the Tiance Mansion suffered many casualties, more than 4 people died for the country, and more than 3 people were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield and had to be in charge of logistics and domestic affairs.After obtaining the consent of the emperor early, they issued a conscription order to replenish the source of troops.Finding [-] recruits who are strong and not afraid of suffering to break the "requirements" of Liuhan Baling is simply a piece of cake—because the minimum requirements of the Tiance Mansion are these two.

"Hahahaha! This Po... Po Liu brother has a good eye!" Niu Jizong laughed loudly, and while laughing, he patted Po Liuhan Baling's back heavily, as if he had forgotten the name of Po Liuhan Baling. Puns.

"If you encounter any trouble when you go out in the future, report me as Ran Feng! Although I am not very powerful, they will always give me face!"

"As expected of a man, what he says and does is straightforward!"

"Okay! General Anbei has a heart!"

"Looking at General Anbei's appearance, he doesn't look like those rough Huns, but looks like a nobleman from our Great Zhou."

"Oh? Could it be that General Anbei has the blood of our Great Zhou?"

Although Po Liuhan Baling was as tall as a Hun, his face did not look like a Hun, but a pure Zhou man.

Po Liuhan pulled his ears, turned his head to the Tiance Mansion general who asked the question and smiled, "I'm a wolf boy. I've lived with wolves since I can remember. I didn't know my parents since I was a child, and I was raised by nature."

The general of the Tiance Mansion was ashamed, no matter how much he guessed other people's lineage in his heart, but he was heard by the other party when he said it, which was really embarrassing.

With this sentence, the generals couldn't help but look at Po Liuhan Baling's appearance, and nodded in agreement with the general's statement.

Maybe this broken Liuhan Baling was the only baby that survived after being attacked by horse thieves on the prairie when the Zhou caravan went out to buy and sell goods. By chance, it was adopted by wolves and later discovered by the Huns. Think of yourself as a Hun.

Thinking about it this way, coupled with Po Liuhan Baling's extraordinary ability and kindness just now, all the generals in the Tiance Mansion couldn't help but treat him as half of their own, and their attitude towards him changed drastically, becoming much closer , with kindness in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, Shi Quan, you can arrange another [-] strong recruits to be taken away by General An Bei later!" Li Mingzhu didn't want others to know her relationship with Po Liu Han Baling.

"The matter of breaking the Liuhan brothers, just leave it to my old Shi!" Shi Quan patted his chest and assured him that he was the general who "questioned" the blood of the breaking Liuhan Baling.

"Thank you Commander Li, we have brothers Rao Shi." Po Liuhan Baling clasped his fists and said.

After a pause, "I'm smelly. When I first came in, I saw all the brothers frowning. I don't know what happened? As the saying goes: Three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang. Although I'm not talented, I can always come up with some crooked ideas. of."

All the generals looked at each other, and Niu Jizong coughed roughly, and said: "Actually, it's nothing serious, it's just that those old bastards are so bored, they have an excuse to challenge the emperor to cut military expenses or something! Bah! One by one knows how to steal our warriors’ hard-earned money, and they are not afraid that dead soldiers will go to chat with them in the middle of the night!”

Although Niu Jizong spoke vaguely, Po Liuhan Baling still understood.

He laughed confidently, and said: "In my opinion, this matter is not difficult to deal with."

"Is this true!?" The generals of Tiance Mansion were astonished, they brainstormed together for two or three hours but couldn't come up with any solution, and Po Liuhan Baling unexpectedly came up with a solution! ?

"The reason why civil servants write letters to reduce military expenditures and lay off soldiers is nothing more than because the country has no foreign enemies, the world is peaceful, and there is no need to fight hard. But if..."

Po Liuhan Baling smiled mysteriously: "What about the state-owned foreign enemies?"

"If there are foreign enemies, how dare those old bastards clamor to suppress us!?" Niu Jizong slapped his thigh suddenly, and accidentally said the words in his heart.

"But right now the only foreign enemy of Dazhou is Xianbei. Xianbei is just a disease of scabies. As long as my Dazhou vitality recovers, the army can be easily wiped out." Li Mingzhu gave Po Liuhan Baling a warning look, signaling Don't he come up with the kind of bad idea of ​​raising the bandits' self-respect.

Po Liuhan Baling looked back confidently, "King Xianbei is just an old gatekeeper, and he can be taken down easily." How could he come up with such a crooked idea of ​​raising bandits independently.

"What I'm referring to below is not Xianbei, but the country of Ohlos further north."

"Oh my country?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"That's right! Ohlos is in a world of ice and snow. They have great ambitions and have always wanted to go south to occupy the entire grassland. If the Xiongnu and Turks hadn't joined forces to block it from the Xing'an Mountains, they would have annexed the entire grassland. Even so, They are still determined, and from time to time they send troops to sneak across the Xing'an Mountains to attack the tribes of the Huns and Turks."

"As far as I know, the rulers of the Ohlos Kingdom have been developing armaments and occupying territory in other directions. Every time they invaded a place, they built fortresses in dangerous places such as river mouths as bases for further invasion and expansion."

"Now that the Huns and Turks have surrendered to Zhou, there is no tribe on the grassland capable of stopping them from going south. I am afraid that after they get the news, they will send troops to build fortresses on the grassland at a very fast speed, waiting for the opportunity to attack Zhou. "

There is only one way to break the suppression of military generals by civil officials in peacetime!Just transfer the pressure outside!

A general of the Tiance Mansion frowned and said, "Why did I, Da Zhou, not hear about such a big event?" He had never heard of the country of Oh Luo Si before.

"Only a few Xiongnu and Turkic tribes near the Xing'an Mountains knew about this, and it was not a glorious thing, so Hu Hanxie ordered that it be forbidden to spread." Just kidding!If the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that there was an enemy behind the Huns and Turks early on, it would be easy to be flanked by you back and forth!This is naturally to be covered up!

"But... even if there is a country of Ohlas that dares to invade the entire grassland, as long as it does not attack Dazhou for a day, I am afraid that the civil officials in the court will not take the initiative to pay attention to it." Ran Feng said after thinking.

Although occupying the grassland can add a large piece of land to Dazhou's map, even though this piece of land has great strategic significance, the vast land with the same harsh natural environment is simply tasteless for many civil servants in Dazhou tasteless.If the Xiongnu, Turkic and Xianbei tribes hadn't sent people south to plunder every now and then, I'm afraid they would have forgotten that there is such a thing as grassland outside the pass!

"Then we will take the initiative to fight up!" Breaking Liuhan Baling with "us", he connected himself with the generals of Tiance Mansion present.

"This won't work. We are taught by unknown people. Those civil officials will definitely stop us, and the emperor will not approve of it." Shi Quan shook his head in denial.

The most important thing in ancient wars is to be just and sound.If the teacher is famous, he will be straight, and if the teacher is not famous, he will be straight.That is to say, only when teachers are well-known can they be justified; with reason, can they have appeal; with appeal, soldiers will use their lives and the people will support them.When Liu Bang wanted to attack Xiang Yu, it was not because Xiang Yu secretly ordered people to kill Emperor Yi as an excuse, and Xing Renyi's division led the army to conquer, which made the soldiers use their lives, and many princes and kings were convinced.

"How could it be that the teacher came from no name?" Po Liuhan Baling asked back.

"My Majesty the Great Zhou Dynasty was ordered by the heavens to monitor the four seas of the world, and the sea, the marshes and the birds and beasts. The Xiongnu and the Turks all felt the emperor's virtue and voluntarily surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, you are also the people of the world, and the emperor should give rain and dew to nourish and benefit the country of Naolaos, and educate the barbarians."

Hearing these words, all the generals of Tiance Mansion were dumbfounded.

This... this... this is too shameless!If Po Liuhan Baling had grown up in Dazhou since he was a child, maybe he would be the lucky minister of Dazhou's new generation to leave his name in history (with a long history)!

Some of the generals of the Tiance Mansion who had attended school seriously and had achieved great fame couldn't help but think deeply.

Although these words are a bit shameless, Confucianism regards Confucius as a saint, and what Confucius most respects is to expel the barbarians and respect the royal family.

Furthermore, to put it another way, Confucius, as the most holy teacher, has always promoted teaching without discrimination.On this point, educating the barbarians and turning barbarians into Xia is also a kind of education without discrimination.The Naolaos country is a country outside the territory of the barbarians, and the people probably don't have access to the teachings of poetry, books, rituals and music, and their lives are miserable.

If Confucius' sage's way is promoted, and then troops are sent to enlighten and save the poor Ohlosi people who are in dire straits, I am afraid that most of the literati in the entire Zhou Dynasty will also agree.

Moreover, the emperor loves face and respects reputation, and it is not a secret to the generals of Tiance Mansion that he vowed to be a Mingjun with a long history.Now that they have achieved such a great "education" and opening up territories, they don't believe that the emperor will not be moved.

As for whether Zhou’s army was engaged in salvation or persecution in the grasslands and in the land of Ohlos... Anyway, few literati in the Great Zhou Dynasty would go to the front line, tens of thousands of miles away, who knows, who cares about Zhou What is the army doing on the front line?Anyway, it is enough for them to know that Da Zhou is the teacher of the benevolent.

Having figured out these two points, the generals of the Tiance Mansion's eyes lit up, and it seemed that there was really a possibility of success!

"Then what are the specialties of Si country?" Li Mingzhu asked casually.

Po Liuhan Baling smiled, as expected of a girl from his family, but Bingxue is very smart.

"Oloth is rich in gold, furs, spirits, and...amber."

Everyone present opened their eyes wide open, and a greedy look flashed across their eyes.

Needless to say, gold, furs, and spirits, everyone knows how valuable they are, but what made everyone lose their temper was the amber mentioned by Po Liuhan Baling.

In ancient China, amber was once called Tiger Soul, Yupei, Beast Soul, Dunmou, Jiangzhu, Yiyu, etc., and its value is comparable to gold and silver.Some people think that amber is the stone turned into the soul of a tiger after death, and some people think that amber is the tears shed by the tiger.Therefore, it is generally believed that amber has the function of seeking good luck, avoiding evil, and calming the nerves.Whether in the West or in China, amber is a treasure that can only be owned by the royal family and nobles. In some countries, amber is also used as a coin for exchanging goods or as a sacrificial item, and even used to make royal jewelry and temple utensils.

Li Bai, a poet, once mentioned in "A Journey in the Guest": "Lanling fine wine and tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light." It can be seen that amber is precious.

It's stable now!With such a big interest, I am not afraid of those old miscellaneous people who seem to be noble on the surface, but in fact all get into the eyes of money.Many Tiance Mansion generals applauded.

After solving a big problem, the atmosphere in the hall began to relax and become lively.

Li Mingzhu directly ordered the soldiers outside to prepare a banquet, first to celebrate the solution of a major problem, second to celebrate his promotion, and third to prevent Niu Jizong and Shi Quan from "falling to death" a few cows when they were happy.

I saw Niu Jizong laughing wildly up to the sky, and slapped Po Liuhan Baling hard on the back, "Hahahaha! What do you think you grew up on? You look exactly like Yannian! Your heart and eyes are like a honeycomb. Wearing fox fur can become a spirit! I, Lao Niu, recognize you as a brother! Go out and report my Lao Niu’s name in the future! Lao Ran’s name is too small to keep you!” I don’t know whether it’s a compliment or a sarcasm. Po Liuhan Baling couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Old Niu, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my Lao Ran's name? Did I offend you!?" Ran Feng stared at his copper eyes and scolded with a smile.

"Just say that your name is not as loud as my old cow! What?" Niu Jizong challenged.

"Old Ran! If I were you, I wouldn't be able to bear this tone anymore!" The people next to him booed.

"Bah! Come, come! Fight for three hundred rounds! Whoever falls first will be the son of a turtle!" Just as a soldier came in with a few jars of wine, Ran Feng slapped the mud seal on the mouth of the jar and poured it into his mouth.

When it comes to drinking, except for his brother Li Lian, Niu Jizong was really not afraid of anyone. Naturally, he did his part to slap open the mud seal on the altar mouth, and poured it into it.

They were so happy that they wanted to yell, the two generals are rough people, and the most common way to express their feelings is to fight or drink, can they still be expected to make poems, is it right to recite poems?

They are not just happy to be able to solve the difficulties in the near future, but because as long as this method is successful once, after getting a lot of benefits (gold, fur, spirits, amber), one will have two, those things that are rich in gold and gems and various The Qianxiang Kingdom, which grows spices, and the Sula Kingdom, which is rich in pearls, silver and agate, are in the bag!

The Zhou army can send troops to attack at will... "Save" and "educate" these poor barbarians who are deeply trapped in yellow and white vulgar things and don't understand poetry, book, etiquette and music!

I am afraid that from now on, all countries that have been "saved" and "civilized" will be deeply "grateful" to Poliukan Baling who put forward this great proposal.

Li Mingzhu nodded. As expected of her man, he is scheming!
