In the states outside the Han Dynasty, except for Kushan, there are no more powerful enemies, especially in the Northeast, Hezhou, Xinzhou, Ningzhou and other regions. This is especially true because of the ten-year policy.
For this reason, the heads of prefectures and counties in various places are very important. For example, the pastor of Hezhou is called Lu Yu, and he is the son of Xilu Situ.
He was born in the East Palace and was both civilized and military. He lived in Hezhou, carried out his father's ambition, and carried out benevolent government. According to the Qin system, many barbarian roads were established in Hezhou. The so-called barbarian roads were the counties of barbarians, and those who entered the Han Dynasty were exempted.
After two years of taxation, everyone under his command was treated equally, which won the hearts of the people. Lu Yu even often ate and lived with the barbarians, which made the people feel happy. Within six years, Hezhou had millions of people.
, there are countless cultivated fields, and there are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
What's even more rare is that he was able to teach many barbarians here, civilize them, and recommend them to officials. Hezhou became more and more prosperous among the frontier fortresses. People praised him for his father's style, and many people from the grasslands fled to Hezhou.
, the chiefs deeply hated him.
In Xinzhou on the side, the state pastor calls him Cao Ren. It is said that this person seems to be the clan brother of Situ Cao Gong. However, he is different from Lu Yu. He did not rely on the strength of his family. He rose from the pavilion chief to the state pastor, whether in politics or in politics.
It is the military, and he has made great achievements. This man is unsmiling and strict in running the army, and the same is true in government. He acts fairly, without favoritism, and has clear rewards and punishments. Many policies in Xinzhou are also implemented very quickly.
In addition to the two of them, there are also Zhang Zhao from Ningzhou, Liu Ye from Youzhou, and Cheng Li from Bingzhou. These are not easy to get along with. With such a group of people here, the Zhuhu outside the Great Wall have already retreated by hundreds.
There were almost no barbarians inside or outside the Great Wall. Merchants had to travel far away to trade with them. As for those who were unwilling to leave, they became vassal states of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, when he heard that the Northern and Southern Army was coming, Hezhou Mu Lu Yu was a little confused. Looking at the edict in his hand, he really couldn't figure out what the Northern and Southern Army were doing here. There were no enemies outside the wall. At most, there were
Some bandits, most of whom were Han Chinese, had committed crimes in border counties and escaped. To deal with some bandits, the Northern and Southern Army would have to be used. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
Even more ruthless than this is the Prince's Supervisory Army.
Lu Yu didn't know how long it had been since something like this happened. However, there were only two sons today, Liu Qu was the eldest son, his character was not bad, and his status was unbreakable. Besides, the prince was not very old.
The emperor can rest assured to let him supervise the army, but is it really necessary? If the emperor wants to catch these bandits, wouldn't it be better to just ask the state to send border troops?
Similarly, most of the state pastors in other states failed to understand why. However, although they could not figure it out, they still started preparations. They wanted to design school grounds, military camps, and even provide food and military supplies for the Northern and Southern armies.
At this moment, the Southern Army, which had been waiting in Luoyang for a long time, was also ready to set off. The newly recruited soldiers reluctantly said goodbye to their families and headed to the military camp. At the same time, in the palace, the Queen also
Holding the little guy in military uniform in front of him, he felt very reluctant to let go. Hu'er was not old, but he was quite tall. A hundred years ago, this height would have been enough to be called into service.
Therefore, wearing a small leather armor would not look too out of place. Hu'er was very happy these days. He spent all day practicing martial arts in the East Palace, especially archery, which was quite impressive to Lu Guozhang.
Zhenzhuan, who had extraordinary arm strength, often held a spear, and stabbed on horseback. Huangmen applauded him. This situation lasted only a few days, and then he was called to Houde Hall.
The queen hugged him, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she really couldn't bear to let him go away. She looked at Liu Xi who was indifferent and said: "Your Majesty... Hu'er is still young. I heard that there are deserts outside the Great Wall, and flying sand.
, the winter was extremely cold, and some state herdsmen were frozen to death... We should wait until Hu'er grows up, he won't be able to bear the pain..."
Hearing this, Liu Xi didn't even speak, but Hu'er jumped up and shouted: "Mom! No, I've grown up! I can bear it. My father finally agreed,
Why are you doing this... If I can't go beyond the Great Wall, I won't eat in the future... Well... I won't eat meat in the future!"
"This is a good idea. Lose weight..." Liu Xi nodded thoughtfully, but Hu'er was so anxious that she almost cried. She shook the queen's hand, her eyes full of expectation. When she saw Hu'er
With such a look, the queen didn't have much to say. She sighed helplessly and then nodded. Hu'er screamed happily and kissed her mother several more times.
Liu Xi glanced at the boy in front of him. He had ordered Zhang Liao to show this boy what war is.
"When you enter the army, you are not the prince, but the supervisor of the army. If there is any problem in the army, I will ask you. If you lose the battle, you should commit suicide and apologize!" Liu Xi said coldly, and the queen was frightened.
After a jump, Hu'er nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
"You must obey the general's orders and abide by military laws. Otherwise, if he disposes of you, I will not interfere!"
"Sincerely!" Hu'er even gave a military salute.
"Then go to the southern army camp and set off together." Liu Xi waved his hand, and the queen caught Hu'er and warned her again, then she watched Hu'er run away from Houde.
Liu Xi no longer had a straight face, and sat next to the queen with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm just trying to scare him. I've already given the order, so don't worry."
"But this is a war after all... If he..."
"Hey, there are no strong enemies outside the Great Wall. The first reason I am sending troops is to train the army. The Northern and Southern armies have lost many old soldiers over the years, and have added many new soldiers, as well as their generals.
Most of them are young people who have graduated from military science. These people still need training, especially the generals. They need to have experience in large-scale combat. This is a rare opportunity to train the army..."
"I am preparing to conquer Guishuang. This trip outside the Great Wall is just a military training exercise. Besides, Hu'er has been crying every day these days. You have also seen it. You must stop his mouth... Look how happy he is now
ah."
Liu Xi said a little, and the queen calmed down and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty wants to conquer Guishang?"
Liu Xi smiled bitterly, "If I don't conquer, when that kid comes to the throne, the first thing he will do is to use all the country's troops to conquer Guishang. By then, the prosperous age that I have laid the foundation for for three generations will be destroyed by him."
In my hand, I know Hu'er very well. Think about it, just by sending the Northern and Southern Army and the border army, he can gather 300,000 horses. By then, these 300,000 horses will require millions of farmers to escort the grain.
kind..."
"If the farming season is busy and millions of young people don't work hard, but instead go to fight in all directions, what do you think the world will be like?"
The queen's eyes widened and she looked at Liu Xi. Liu Xi then said: "So, it is better for this Guishuang to die in my hands. At least, I can kill him at the minimum cost.
Revenge!" After hearing Liu Xi's explanation, the queen didn't ask any more questions. Liu Xi smiled, hugged the queen, and laughed: "Finally, this guy won't bother us anymore..."
The queen rolled her eyes at him and scolded: "You are so immoral..."
.........
After some irregularity, Liu Xi quickly stood up. He still had a lot of memorials to deal with. Fortunately, he was strong and did not have the same diseases as his father and grandfather. He worked hard day and night, but he could withstand it. This time the country was destroyed.
If the battle is fought successfully, it is impossible to say that one will be able to obtain the position of prince. Therefore, the commander of the Kushan Battle must be decided in advance.
The only difficulty is how to convince both armies. If Guan Yu comes, I'm afraid the southern army won't accept it. If Zhang Liao comes, I'm afraid the northern army won't accept it. After the temple got rid of the position of Taiwei, this became
Liu Xi thought about a difficult problem for a moment, but he already had an idea in his mind.
At this moment, Hu'er also rushed to the Southern Army camp, bringing a group of messengers with embroidered clothes. However, the messengers with embroidered clothes just sent him to the door and could not go in. The general's personal troops were led by the general.
Given the gift, the prince could not bring his own people into the Confederate camp. Hu'er didn't care about this and walked into the camp with a smile. The soldiers were practicing in full swing, and occasionally patrolling soldiers could be seen.
When these soldiers saw Hu'er, they just stopped and bowed, and then left quickly. They didn't respect him as much as the people in the temple did. However, Hu'er still liked this attitude very much. That's how it should be. Come on.
When he arrived at the general's camp, he asked the soldiers standing at the door to report. The soldiers hurriedly entered. After a while, they came out and said, "The general is discussing the war with everyone. Please wait a moment."
Hu'er nodded. When he came, his father had made it clear that he was here mainly to supervise logistics and learn more about how to set up camp and how to march. He could not interfere in the war. Therefore, this meeting was not called.
He, he's not angry either.
However, after waiting in front of the camp door for a long time, no one asked him to go in. After waiting for almost half an hour, Hu'er couldn't sit still and asked the pro-jun to urge him again, and the pro-jun reluctantly walked in.
, a moment later, he came out again, his face was red, and he was obviously scolded. He saluted helplessly and said: "General, no one is allowed to disturb you without his orders."
"What a thief! But you are bullying me when I am young??!" Hu'er was furious. He immediately pushed away the pro-soldier in front of him and rushed into the camp. Zhang Liao was sitting in the main seat, sitting next to him.
Hu'er rushed in with many generals, and everyone looked over. When they saw the person coming, they quickly stood up and bowed, but Zhang Liao sat in his original position and did not move at all.
Hu'er was furious, looked at him and said: "I am the supervisor, you deliberately left me outside the camp, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Liao frowned, stood up slowly, and said: "The supervisors have no right to listen to military matters. Why did the supervisors break into the main camp? Come on! Get it for me!" Zhang Liao gave the order, and everyone was shocked. It was too late.
To stop him, two soldiers rushed forward like tigers and wolves. Even though the young Hu'er was not an opponent, he was captured immediately.
"Trespassing to the main camp without permission is a capital offense!"
"Here comes someone, drag him down and kill him..."
"Absolutely not possible!!!" The generals present were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they all stood in front of Zhang Liao. Hu'er also opened his eyes wide, looked at Zhang Liao in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and roared: "I am the prince! Kill me. Do you want to rebel?"
Zhang Liao squinted his eyes, full of murderous intent, and said calmly: "That's right, the prince is still young. The fault is not yours, but your master's fault for failing to teach you well. Come here, go chop off Cui Yan's Come on!"
Zhang Liao ordered, and several people walked out immediately. Hu'er subconsciously felt that he did not dare to do that, but looking at Zhang Liao's cold eyes, he was extremely afraid in his heart. He hurriedly shouted: "General Zhang, don't do this. In this way, my master does not understand military affairs, this has nothing to do with him, the fault is mine alone!!"
"oh?"
"Come here, pull him out and punish him with ten army sticks!"
"General Zhang!! How can this happen!! This!!" Seeing everyone's frightened objections, Zhang Liao ignored it and took action himself. He pulled Hu'er out of the camp and had people push him to the ground and hold him. He picked up the military stick and started to fight. The prince screamed when he was beaten, and everyone was frightened. Zhang Liao controlled his strength and looked at the prince who was yelling at him, thinking silently in his heart:
Your Highness, I am also acting under orders, so don’t blame me...
