Farmer of Shu Han

"That's what the Grand Marshal said?"

After receiving Li Xiang's report, Fatty Liu looked surprised, and then his heart jumped again, thinking:

Yes, what was said in the clear text is indeed correct. Not to mention the ministers in the court, even I have never considered the possibility of defeat in this battle. I just think that taking Hebei is reasonable.

But in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in Hebei, and there are Hu cavalry outside the Great Wall to help. If you think about it carefully, even if it is counted from the time I ascended the throne, this can be regarded as a rare war.

But I seem to have never thought about what would happen.

Not to mention whether I am worried or nervous.

Thinking back then, during the battle in Guanzhong, my father led the Hanzhong army and confronted Sima Yi at Wuzhangyuan, and my brother-in-law led the Liangzhou cavalry alone and stabbed Sima Yi in the back.

I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I went to the Taimiao to pray many times.

What about now?

The opponent is still the same one as before, but the prime minister's father has passed away, and the brother-in-law is fighting Sima Yi alone. He only thinks about when the victory news will come from the front, and no other thoughts.

Mentality, mentality has changed.

He is arrogant, indeed arrogant.

After a period of reflection, Adou couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. It's still the brother-in-law who is calm and has lived up to the trust of the prime minister.

As for what the Sima mentioned, if there is an emergency, the public will be turbulent, etc., Adou didn't take it to heart at all.

Which of the Five Tiger Generals has not failed in battle?

The success or failure of a battle alone will erase all the previous merits. There is no such rule in Ji Han.

And don't look at the faction of Shu, the faction of Liangzhou, and the faction of Jingzhou in the court. One by one, they want to fight for the right to bark, but if we really talk about the interest group with the loudest barking, it has to be the Xinghan Society.

And the members of the Xinghan Society are really diverse, with people from all factions.

In the past, whoever had money, food, and people could shout the loudest.

But nowadays, under the leadership of a certain country bumpkin, young people have no martial ethics at all.

In addition to having money, food, and people, you also need to have channels, organization, and efficiency.

In terms of resource utilization and production, the Xinghan Society is a crushing existence for the aristocratic families.

Why is Feng Lianjin a special existence in Adou's heart?

Because as long as the royal family and the Xinghan Society join forces, it is enough to suppress all opposition voices inside and outside the court.

Court meeting?

The emperor and the Grand Marshal do not speak, that is called court meeting.

What the emperor and the Grand Marshal decide is called following the procedures.

As the emperor who ascended the throne at the age of sixteen in the midst of danger, no matter how stupid Adou is, he also understands that as long as Feng Lianjin does not rebel, his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Will Feng Lianjin rebel?

Adou does not know, and he dare not be sure.

Because he knows that he is mediocre and not smart.

So he chooses to believe in the arrangement of his father-in-law who is extremely intelligent.

Just as the late emperor entrusted the whole Han dynasty to his father-in-law, Adou did not mind following suit and having a good story with Feng Lianjin.

After all, he had already "returned to the old capital and recovered the two capitals", and Adou felt that it was good to continue lying like this, without changing to other postures.

Thinking of this, Liu Adou said to Li Xiang:

"Shulong, you originally traveled between Chang'an and Taiyuan, the journey was long, and you were tired. You should have rested for a while, but I think it is best for you to do this. I am afraid you still need to run again."

Li Xiang hurriedly said:

"The soldiers are fighting for life and death in the front, and they are not afraid of swords and guns. I am just running on the road, how dare I say bitter? Your Majesty, if you have any orders, I will serve you at the risk of my life."

"It's not that serious, but I just asked you to help me bring some words to the Grand Marshal. "

Adou was relieved, then he paused for a moment and said, "You go and tell the Great Sima that the war in the front is all his own and he is very tired. He needs to take care of his health."

"I am in Chang'an, I only read the war report, not the war. If the Great Sima needs anything, I and the Shangshu Ling will do our best to arrange it."

Here, he hesitated for a moment, and finally continued:

"Even if, even if the treasury is insufficient, there are still some money and food in the inner court. Although not much, it can at least be used in an emergency."

Li Xiang was stunned.

If your majesty's words were really spread, Pei Qian and his ilk would be desperate.

What about resisting the sharpness of the Great Sima in the court? Dream on!

In order to support the Great Sima in the front, your majesty even spent the money he saved...

The emperor can do this, he is really a wise and benevolent monarch.

The minister can do this, really... enviable!

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't react, Adou probably felt that what he said was too much to favor his brother-in-law, so he changed his words and said:

"Forget it, I'll write a letter to Mingwen, Shulong, please help me deliver it to the Grand Marshal."

"I obey your order."

Li Xiang was startled and quickly responded.

In the frontier, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had a frank and in-depth exchange with the Grand Marshal in front.

At this time, outside the frontier, the sound of strings was getting tight.

"Bang!"

"Don't run, you Hu dog, get off your horse quickly and be tied up!"

Not far from Juyongguan, a small group of light cavalry was chasing a group of Hu cavalry.

The horses' hooves stepped on the muddy grass, splashing mud and water.

The newly grown yellow tender grass buds, which had just seen the outside world, were trampled into the mud and water by the horses' hooves.

Due to the muddy ground, both sides were not very fast, and could even be said to be jogging, which made the chase look more like a slapstick and a bit comical.

But from time to time, arrows flying through the air with a "puffing" sound, as well as shouts and curses behind them, reminded the barbarians in front that they were running for their lives.

The two teams of men and horses, one in front and one behind, chased and escaped, and soon arrived at the towering Juyong Pass.

“It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming!”

The barbarian shouted excitedly in nonsense, slapped the horse's butt hard, and made his mount run forward with all its last strength.

"Cao! Why did you run so fast and let them run away!"

The cavalry in the rear saw Hu Qi rushing towards Juyong Pass desperately, so they had to stop at a distance and did not continue to follow.

The leader of the team glanced at his somewhat frustrated subordinates and said:

"He just ran away. Why are you so anxious?"

As he said that, he glanced at Juyongguan again, "It's not like they ran to other places. They entered the fortress. They can't get out of the fortress just by thinking about it."

The subordinate still sighed:

"That's true, but who knows who will take credit for these people in the future? It's better to fall into our hands now, and each of us might be able to get two or three pieces..."

Looking at his subordinate who was about to fall in Qian's eyes again, the team leader clicked his tongue, "Have you gained a lot from joining the army this time? Can these two or three things make you lose your temper like this?"

"Liu Ling, your family has a big business, so naturally you don't care about it, but I am poor! My wife and children at home are pointing at me to have enough to eat."

This subordinate is from Liangzhou, and he was mixed into his own team from the Yi Congjun these days.

Although Hu Qiyicong bore the name Hu Qi, there were actually many Han people among them.

And basically they come from Bingzhou, Liangzhou, where they live together with barbarians.

The folk customs in these places were fierce, and they were infected with the habits of the barbarians. They were unwilling to divide their land in peace and quiet. In addition, the Han custom was martial, so there was no way to be selected into the Han army.

So simply take advantage of the mixed situation of Han and Hu people and join the Yi Cong army directly, which will increase your chances of joining the regular army in the future.

This person in front of me is exactly like this.

After this battle, if the Eighth Army of Guanzhong wants to recruit more soldiers, this man will most likely be selected.

Regarding this temporary comrade and possible comrades in the future, the team leader is willing to know more about the opponent's situation.

As he led the team around, he asked:

"Judging from your tone, you have a lot of children at home, right?"

Unexpectedly, the subordinate shook his head: "There are not many children. Counting the ones in the belly, there are only three."

"Three? With what you gained from this trip, isn't it more than enough to raise three?"

This subordinate has superb riding skills, agility, and quick thinking. Every time he goes into battle, he gains more than others.

Therefore, whether it is the accumulated achievements or the harvest, it is definitely not old or young.

How could it be difficult to raise three children?

The subordinate sighed quietly: "It's okay to raise children, but it's not enough to raise a wife..."

"Huh?" Captain Li frowned a little when he heard this, so you have to marry a virtuous wife!

As a leader, Team Leader asked with concern and tactfully: "Is it possible that your wife is not very good at running a house?"

"Not at all, she is quite diligent and thrifty. In fact, she is a Qiang girl. Like me, she comes from a poor family and is not so particular."

The subordinate looked calm and showed no shame.

The captain nodded, his face unchanged.

It is not uncommon for poor families in frontier areas to marry Hu women.

Even General Ma, one of the Five Tiger Generals, had a Qiang girl.

Because General Ma's master had no money to get married, he ended up marrying a Qiang girl.

Besides, now the great Han people are all the same, and even the people in Da Sima’s house have barbarian women.

There is even Liu Hanzi who was born in the royal family, tsk tsk!

Anyway, he has always been a hot topic among the fighting men in the army.

Envy, extremely envious!

Over the years, one of the biggest benefits that the imperial court has given to the soldiers fighting Han is to find ways to help them get married.

Most of the time they are Hu women, and many of them settle in the frontier for this reason.

The lower-class people in Guizhou, later generations had a more insulting term, called hanging silk.

It can be seen that social science is very unscientific, because sometimes society not only fails to progress, but also regresses.

In this era, the opportunity for Guizhou leaders to marry a wife and even carry on the family line is a gift from God - the emperor is also God's son, and the emperor's gift is the same as God's gift.

If the fighting men at the bottom want to stand up, they have no other choice but to risk their lives for military glory.

"That's strange..." The team leader looked at his subordinates with an increasingly strange look.

The subordinate's face actually looked a little embarrassed, and he coughed:

"Isn't this not so particular? There are many sisters in my wife's family, and my wife is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see them suffer, so she always brings people into the house..."

Pretty!

Am I pretty?

The team leader received a critical hit of 10,000 points and groaned.

As expected, the humanoid beast was really not particular about his mother! ——

"Beast, you are just a beast!"

Compared to the team leader who was cursing twice in his heart, Tuoba Xulu was already frightened, angry, angry and frightened, trembling all over and speaking incoherently in a house in Yecheng far to the south:

"How dare he? How dare he do this? He is so vicious and has such disregard for human relations. He is worse than an animal!"

The Xianbei reinforcements that Taifu Sima had been waiting for for a long time finally entered the fortress.

Tuoba Xilu's long-awaited support within the clan is finally coming.

But it was not a surprise, but a shock.

When reinforcements and support arrived, they also brought the most shocking news on the grassland:

Tuoba Desert Khan defected to the Han Dynasty, and together with Tuoba Xianbei's in-law tribe, Wuluhui tribe, became the leader.

He led the Han army to raid the wintering place of Tuoba Xianbei. In addition to the 50,000 elite cavalry who went south in advance, the remaining Tuoba tribe who remained on the grassland were partly captured and most of them were forced to surrender.

Only a few escaped.

This news made Tuoba Xilu's face turn as pale as snow, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and his eyes were dull and lifeless on the spot.

For a moment, I didn't dare to accept this fact.

After repeatedly confirming the news, he almost flew into a rage and almost used the most vicious words to attack his eldest brother.

What is this?

I was the one who asked the adults to send reinforcements to Wei to fight against the Han, and then my family was taken over by the Han?

Are you homeless?

Tuoba Xulu was nearly collapsed from the blow, trembling and muttering nervously to himself:

"Beast, cruel person, you are a real cruel person..."

Tuoba Xulu felt that the most he wanted to do was kill his eldest brother, but Tuoba Desert Khan killed hundreds of thousands of Tuoba Xianbei in one breath. Even his biological father was trampled to death in front of the battle. Meat puree.

Such a careless humanoid beast, how could I ever think that he was someone to be bullied?

what to do?

What should I do in the future?

Tuoba Xulu's eyes were blank, looking at the spring-filled courtyard in front of him, but his heart was extremely sad.

This is Wei State, not a desert.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot compare to the desert.

The desert is the true destination of prairie warriors.

But now that I don’t even have a tribe anymore, what will I do in the future?

Where will it stand?

Countless thoughts surged in like a tide, making him increasingly fearful of the future.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice pulled him back from his wandering thoughts:

"Second prince? Second prince?"

Tuoba Xulu looked at the visitor blankly:

"What? What did you say?"

"Second Prince, the Grand Tutor is here. He is outside and wants to see you."

"Taifu? Taifu is already here?"

As soon as Tuoba Xulu heard that Sima Yi was outside, he suddenly became a little confused again.

In the past, he relied on Sima Yi to seek help from the Tuoba clan, and was disrespectful to Sima Yi.

But now, he and his 50,000 elite cavalry have lost the support of the tribes outside the Great Wall. Although it was not intentional, they have truly become dependent on others.

Food, grass, clothing, and food. If we lose the support of Taifu Sima, might we have to starve to death?

Tuoba Xilu didn't bother to adjust his clothes and ran out in a hurry. From a distance, he bowed to Master Sima and saluted:

"Hu people are vulgar. I didn't know that Master Taifu came, and I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me, Master Taifu."
