Huaiyu saw Li Jing's eldest son Li Deyu here, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Why did Wu Erlang come to our residence?" Li Deyu was drinking tea with someone. He was a little surprised to see him, but he greeted him warmly.
"Wu Erlang was just summoned by the saint, and was given the gift of a thousand oxen and a thousand cavalry battalions. From now on, we will all be colleagues." An Yuanshou said with a smile.
An Yuanshou and Huaiyu introduced everyone. Qian Niu was armed with imperial swords, and there were only twelve guards in the left and right mansions. They were also on duty in separate shifts. In addition, each mansion had twelve left and right guards with imperial bows.
There are one hundred men in body and one hundred and fifty men in charge.
Huaiyu felt that this was similar to first-class guards, second-class guards, and third-class guards.
Qian Niu Bei Shen and Bei Shen Zuo were both lower-ranking sixth-rank officials, at the same level as Huaiyu's original superior generals, but these imperial guards with swords must have a higher status and more prospects, and he thought these few
Qianniu, status is indeed extremely valuable.
Li Deyu, the eldest son of Yongkang County Duke Li Jing, An Yuanshou, the eldest son of Liang Guo Gongan Xinggui, Lu Renye, the eldest son of Lu Kuan, the supervisor of Rui Guogong Hall, Li Bi, the second brother of Li Ji, the general manager of Bingzhou Road, Cao Guogong, and the eldest son of Ren Guogong Liu Hongji
Liu Renshi, and the late Yunjie Gong Yin Kaishan's successor, Yun Guogong Yin Hong,
There was also a person who was a little surprised by Wu Huaiyu, Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of Huo Guogong Chai Shao. This guy returned to the capital at some time.
The other dozen or so people who were not on duty were all descendants of Duke Xun Qi.
Among the people in the house, their father and brother were either the Duke or the general or the general manager. Wu Huaiyu's background was inferior in comparison, but his clan uncle was also the father of Ying Guogong, a father of martial virtue.
Lu Renye looked very similar to Lu Huairang. He was in his twenties and more imposing. He greeted Huaiyu, "I heard Erlang mentioned you in his letter."
When Chai Zhewei, who had worked with him in Longyou, met him, he even mocked him, "Isn't Wu Erlang a young inspector of military weapons in the school? He is worshiped by others in general. How come he was dismissed from this fifth-grade official position after only three days?"
Already?"
Huaiyu chuckled, this guy always makes people so annoying.
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
"Well, your attitude is not bad. Remember it well and don't do it again next time."
Huaiyu chuckled, this guy is really awesome.
Li Bi was Li Ji's second brother, and he was quite indifferent to Huaiyu. Huaiyu remembered that the old Li family and the old Wu family were bitter enemies in history, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Li Bi's elder brother, Li Ji, was originally named Xu Shiji. After Li Mi was defeated in the Guanzhong and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Xu Shiji took charge of Li Mi's remaining old territories, registered them all, and then sent them to Chang'an Li Mina, asking Li Mi to dedicate them to Li Yuan. The reason was that he was Li Mi's subordinate.
.
Li Yuan greatly admired him and made him king, but Xu Shiji refused. Li Yuan issued an edict and named his father Xu Gai King of Jiyin and Xu Shiji Duke of Laiguo.
Xu Gai was a big landowner. He had no achievements and refused to grant him the title. In the end, Li Yuan changed the title to Xu Gai, Shangzhu Kingdom, Shu Guogong, Xu Shiji, Shangzhu Kingdom, Lai Guogong. Soon after, he changed the title to Cao Guogong and gave him the surname Li.
, with the official membership of the Royal Sect, and are treated exactly the same as Du Fuwei, Luo Yi and others.
During the Wude period, Li Ji had been commanding the Henan army, fighting against heroes such as Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Xu Yuanlang, etc., but his performance was mediocre and he often lost battles. He was even captured by Dou Jiande and was forced to serve under Dou Jiande for a period of time.
But Li Ji, whose performance was mediocre, won Li Yuan's trust.
The son of the richest man in Jiyin in the Sui Dynasty, he claimed to have been a thief and a murderer at the age of fourteen. He was one of the founders of Wagang Village. Now he is only in his early thirties. The anti-kings who ruled the roost in the late Sui Dynasty have all been blown away by rain and wind.
, Li Ji is still very stable.
Wu Huaiyu even knew that this Li Ji had a bit of Li Jing's flavor, and the older he got, the more powerful he became. The Zhenguan Dynasty and Li Jing were the two big men in the military world. They swept away the Turks, destroyed the Tuyuhungan, Xue Yantuo, and even conquered Liaodong, and they were invincible.
Li Ji didn't seem to win many civil wars, but in the external wars between Taizong and Gaozong, this old man was a ruthless bunch, and it was Su Ding who was able to compare with him later.
Especially in the Li Zhi Dynasty, he was the real auxiliary elder.
If it weren't for his grandson Li Jingye's rebellion against Wu Zetian later, which implicated his grave and had his tomb removed, Li Ji's status in the Tang Dynasty would definitely be one of the best.
In Li Shimin's fight for the crown prince, it is said that Li Ji, like Li Jing, remained neutral, but it is also said that they actually secretly supported Li Shimin, because Li Jing was the prince and was the king. If they really wanted to fulfill their duties as ministers, then
We should support the prince to build it.
However, Li Ji was actually held to death by Li Shimin in Bingzhou during the Zhenguan Dynasty. He did not move much for more than ten years. This was far inferior to the highlight moment when Li Jing became prime minister in the early Zhenguan Dynasty. This also shows that Li Shimin may be very jealous of Li Ji, and Li Ji may even have two sides.
Placed a bet.
But thinking about the descendants of the Li family who later rebelled against the Wu family, and now Li Bi is so cold to him, could it be that the Li family has always looked down on the Wu family?
Huaiyu took the initiative to greet Li Bi, but the guy still had the same cold attitude.
Liu Renshi and Yin Hong were quite polite.
Liu Renshi's father Liu Hongji was also one of the Sixteenth Heroes of Wude. He felt that Huaiyu was the son of the warrior Yu Cong, so he was one of his own.
Yin Hong had the highest title among them all. His uncle Yin Kaishan was Li Shimin's confidant, but he died of illness during the campaign against Wang Shichong and had no heirs, so he chose his younger brother's son Yin Hong as his heir. Although Yin Hong held the title of Duke of the country, he still had no heirs.
Yin Kaishan has been dead for several years. Youjue alone has no power and is very polite to everyone.
"I'll take you to meet with our superiors."
The left and right mansions were later called Qianniu Guards, and now they belong to the second mansion among the four mansions of the Twelve Guards.
"Our Left and Right Mansion is the same as the Left and Right Prison Mansion. Unlike the Twelve Guards, we do not control the military mansion. Our main responsibility is to house guards and followers and guard the palace."
Huaiyu was affiliated to the Zuofu in the Zuofu. The general was Sun Shunde, the uncle of Xue Guogong, Li Shimin's wife's eldest son. He was previously the general of Zuo Xiaowei and the general of Qiguan. After the incident, Li Shimin made him become the general of Zuofu and stayed in Zhong.
Shu Sheng replaces the person who originally built it.
The current general of Zuofu is Zhang Shigui. He also inspects the troops and horses at the north gate.
Changsun Shunde and Zhang Shigui were very polite to Wu Huaiyu for ordering Zuo Qianniu to prepare himself, especially Zhang Shigui, who together escorted Li Shimin to attack the Turks at night last time.
"Thousands of cattle are prepared on the left and right, and they are all made up of the young and beautiful faces of Gaoyin's children. They are embroidered with flowers and green, and they are dressed in green. They are the best choice for nobles to start a family.
Erlang Yuancong's meritorious son is also young and handsome, and has also achieved military merit in Longyou. It is a great honor to be able to enter the left and right mansions to prepare Qianniu and hold the sword."
Qianniu sword, flower embroidered clothes, flower feather hat
Zhang Shigui asked Huaiyu to fetch his outfit.
The clothes of the Baiqi guards are embroidered with wild horses, while the clothes of Qianniu are embroidered with Rui Niu.
There were also two long feathers from an unknown bird stuck on the hat.
"You have already given me silver, but remember to wear this green embroidered clothes when you are on duty."
Huaiyu looked at An Yuanshou. He was wearing this green brocade robe embroidered with cows. He was quite handsome and handsome. Also, the Qianniu Guards were obviously equivalent to the Han generals in the Ming Dynasty.
That Thousand Ox Sword is very old.
Also called Yi Dao and Royal Dao.
The handle is longer and the blade is longer. Because it is too long, when I am on duty, I usually hold it directly in front of me, with the scabbard facing down, the ring and handle on top, and the pestle in front of me. It is almost a person tall. The one Huaiyu received
The Thousand Ox Sword is slightly shorter than him, five feet and five feet long. He estimates that it is at least about one meter six.
The material of this sword is very good, and it must have been refined through hundreds of refinements. After all, each of the left and right houses has twelve thousand oxen to prepare them. They are the emperor's guard of honor and the face of the royal family.
They are also the only ones who can hold swords in front of the emperor. The ceremonial swords carried by other guards are made of wood and are called ban swords.
This sword is more powerful and domineering than the Miao sword. The Miao sword is more slender, while the Qianniu sword is more domineering, longer, wider and heavier. It has the characteristics of a gun, a knife and a sword. It is not only good-looking, but also a real battlefield weapon.
It can charge into battle and behead horses.
The horse-killing sword that Fan Xuanfu often carries is not as long as the Thousand Ox Sword.
Zhang Shigui drew his sword out of its sheath and demonstrated the sword skills of the Qianniu Sword to his face. He was really a swordsman and a spearman. He could also use both hands to switch. The sword skills were wide open and closed, but there were many changes.
The main points.
The Thousand Ox Sword was in his hand, and he was tossing and turning in a series of strikes, with great speed, destroying his body and moving the sword. The sword followed the person, and it was as powerful as breaking a bamboo, full of killing power.
"Normal armor can't protect against this Thousand Ox Sword!"
Zhang Shigui handed the sword to him and said, "Keep it well. Each of these swords is made by a famous master. It is a great honor to wear this sword in front of the imperial guard."
Although Huaiyu was not too happy about being a sword-carrying guard, the more he looked at the Thousand Ox Sword, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but wave it when he held it in his hand.
Fan Xuanfu had taught him the sword technique of horse-cutting sword before. Before learning the horse-cutting sword, he should first practice the twenty-four postures of the whole arm, and then practice the horse-cutting sword technique.
It's more powerful.
Fan Xuanfu's horse-cutting sword is five feet long, and this sword is five feet five, even longer. He swings it with the horse-cutting sword technique, which is also powerful.
Zhang Shigui looked at it and nodded, "It's quite organized. Erlang is very good at it."

After receiving the Qianniu Sword and the green embroidered clothes, Huaiyu left the Zuo Mansion.
The seven people including An Yuanshou we saw before were on duty in one shift, four in each of the left and right houses.
Li Deyu, An Yuanshou, and Lu Renye were in the same class as him in the Zuofu. Li Bi, Yin Hong, Chai Zhewei, and Liu Renshi in the Right were also in the same class.
"You don't have to be on duty today. You will officially be on duty in three days."
The duty when on duty is to be a guard with a sword, stand in front of the emperor with a sword during the court meeting, and follow the guards after retreating from the court.
"An Dalang is not on duty tomorrow. Do you have time to go to Duke Ying's mansion with you?" Huaiyu asked.
"Okay." An Yuanshou had been waiting for a long time, and immediately agreed, "Has Erlang been to Irina's place in Yanshoufang?"
"Not yet. After we visit Duke Ying tomorrow, will we go to Yanshoufang together?"
