Han Dao world

Although the Sanqi Sanbu has a small number of people, it is the most elite force around the emperor.Ordinary servants have to ask for leave from the supervisor when they go out, while senior generals like Yan Xing have to report to the emperor himself.

Liu Xie had heard Jia Xu talk about meeting Han Sui, so he was not surprised that Han Sui wanted to meet Yan Xing, so he agreed.

Before Yan Xing left, he asked, if Han Sui asked about the court, how should the minister reply?

Liu Xie looked at Yan Xing with satisfaction, and said something meaningful.Conspiracy is used to manage soldiers, and if you don't keep secrets, you will lose.There is nothing wrong with telling people about the use of conspiracy in governing the country.Although the general of Zhenxi is a military officer, he is an important minister of the imperial court and a pillar of the west.The more he understands the policies of the imperial court, the less worried he is, and the more stable Liangzhou will be.

Yan Xing understood, took his leave and left.

He and Han Wenying went back to the General's Mansion in Zhenxi, met Han Sui, and Weng and his son-in-law had a good talk.Han Sui was very cautious at first, and tentatively asked about the emperor's new policies.Yan Xing was very calm, and explained in detail what the emperor did in Xihe.

Han Sui listened very carefully, and the more he listened, the more interested he became.

When Jia Xu said that he would use 20 Bingliang cavalry to destroy Yuan Shao and Guandong, he still didn't quite believe it.After all, Bingliang's household registration is limited, and the total number of households is less than 20. It may not be possible to make up 20 cavalry, and it can only be regarded as a bold statement at most.

But after listening to Yan Xing's explanation, he realized that Jia Xu was not joking, and the emperor probably really thought so.

On the one hand, the emperor was recruiting the people of the Kanto region, and on the other hand, he was educating the barbarians.The former solves finances, and the people of the Kanto are good at production, which can bring technologies such as textiles and papermaking, and increase the income of the court.The latter can provide sufficient force. Barbarians mount their horses as soldiers, and they are born cavalry.

Give the emperor five to ten years, and 20 cavalry is not a problem at all.

In fact, if you count the barbarians, you can now make up 20 cavalry.The reason why the emperor can't do it should be that he doesn't have enough financial and material resources, and he is worried that the barbarians will not be restrained, the military discipline will be corrupted, and they will cause disasters in the Central Plains.

After all, the emperor defeated Yuan Shao because he wanted to rejuvenate the big man, not just grab it and run away.If these 20 cavalry were still burning, killing and looting in Luoyang like Dong Zhuo did back then, it would definitely not be the result the emperor hoped for.

From this point of view, the emperor is much stronger than Dong Zhuo.Not only can he possess great force, but he must also firmly control this powerful force so as not to lose control.

Women's military service should be one of the plans.

Allowing women to join the army can make up for the weakness of the underpopulation to some extent.Compared with the barbarians who lived by water and grass, the Han people who became registered households were naturally easier to control.If the emperor further educates them, their combat effectiveness may not be inferior to that of the barbarians.

For Bingliang, this is an opportunity.

Compared with the weak Kanto women, Bingliang women are undoubtedly more suitable for joining the army.

After figuring this out, Han Sui changed his previous attitude, supported Han Shaoying to join the women's cavalry, and promised to come out in person to persuade his subordinates to abandon those outdated ideas and not to prevent the women at home from participating in the election.

Han Sui only made one request: train hard, compete with Ma Yunlu as soon as possible, and at least not lag behind Lu Xiaohuan.

Han Wenying was full of enthusiasm and agreed.

Being able to accompany Yan Xing day and night, she has great confidence in herself.

Yan Xing then said, there are two most important things for the Son of Heaven to come to Liangzhou this time.One is to investigate the commercial road in Huangzhong, and the other is to quell the rebellion in Huanghan.Huangzhong's business is related to interests, and the rebellion of Huanghan is related to reputation. These two matters must be resolved without delay.

Han Sui immediately changed his mind.

Fanghan is within his jurisdiction, and Song Jian is also an old friend of his.He knew that Song Jian was king in Fanghan, but he didn't care.To put it bluntly, it was just a joke and no one took it seriously.

But the emperor took it seriously, and traveled thousands of miles to put down the rebellion.If he doesn't take the initiative, when Song Jian is destroyed by the emperor, he can't explain why he didn't suppress the rebellion before.However, if he took the initiative to invite Ying and destroyed Song Jian, the emperor would have to reward him, and the following Huangzhong commercial road might also become his way of making money.

Chapter 415

Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi, wrote a letter to the emperor. He recently heard that there were very few people in Fang who claimed to be king and separated one side.

Fanghan was on the upper reaches of the river, so Song Jian called himself King of Heshou Ping Han, not far from Jincheng.As the general of Zhenxi, Han Sui naturally knew about it a long time ago, but he deliberately told recent news to cover up his previous inaction.

Liu Xie didn't care about him, issued an imperial edict to allow him, and decided to go out with Han Sui to observe the way the general Zhenxi used his troops.

Han Sui was in the middle of his arms.

To be able to justifiably demonstrate one's own strength in front of the emperor, such an opportunity is rare.

Han Sui immediately issued an order to convene all the ministries, inspect the troops first, and then set off to fight against the Han.

Han Sui's actual control area is Jincheng County, but with the blessing of the emperor's edict, he issued the order to the entire territory of the nominal jurisdiction, including the nearby Longxi and Hanyang.

It is not easy to gather so many troops, and the preparation of food and supplies is not a small burden.There are inevitably conflicts among the various ministries. How to make them obey orders and not fight in front of the emperor will also test the prestige and ability of Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi.

Han Sui wanted to show it, and Liu Xie wanted to see it, and the two hit it off.

While waiting for the army to assemble, Liu Xie was relatively free. In addition to meeting the generals and officials who arrived one after another, he was accompanied by Jia Xu, Yan Xing and others to visit the nearby mountains and rivers. By the way, short-distance investigations are called Huangzhong Road of Qinghai Road.

Jincheng is located on the south bank of the big river, not far up the river, and several water flows into the big river, the most famous of which is Huangshui.

Going west along the Huangshui River, you can go all the way to the West Sea (Qinghai Lake), and then go west for about [-] miles from the West Sea to reach the Western Regions.

This commercial route has existed for a long time, but the road is not easy to travel, and the conditions are not as good as the Hexi Corridor.After the establishment of the four counties in Hexi, most of the merchants took the north of Qilian Mountains, went to Hexi, and no longer went to Huangzhong.

Even so, Huangzhong Road is still the only way for the people of all ethnic groups in the Huangshui River Basin to exchange materials with the interior of Liangzhou, but the materials exchanged are limited, and the oil and water are not as rich as Hexi Road.

Liu Xie intends to strengthen trade exchanges, not only Han Sui expressed his welcome, but also the tribes in the Huangshui River Valley were extremely enthusiastic, and people came to inquire about news every day.Liu Xie is not too annoying, as long as he has time, he will meet everyone as much as possible.

Meeting these tribal leaders is not only a good opportunity to discuss business and understand their needs, but also to promote one's own ideas.

Before he knew it, he felt that he had returned to the 21st century, and in order to open up the market, he went deep into remote areas.Or like those poverty alleviation cadres, in order to lift more people out of poverty, they work tirelessly.

Regardless of whether the business can be negotiated, at least his attitude is sincere and can make everyone feel respected.

It didn't take long for the reputation of the Son of Heaven's promising youth to spread, and everyone recited it.

With such an emperor, the view that the great man will be able to rejuvenate unknowingly became the mainstream public opinion.

There were also troubles. There was an endless stream of people who wanted to get married, and more and more women came to the neighborhood to secretly watch and see the emperor's appearance, which invisibly increased the workload of Huben and Habayashi.

The female knight commanded by Ma Yunlu also formally assumed the duty of protecting Xun Guiren.

At this time, Xun Wenqian came up with an idea for Liu Xie.

Your Majesty is not lustful, and refuses to accept Han and Qiang beauties. This is of course a good thing, but it should not chill the hearts of the Han and Qiang people.The soldiers can be married to them, which can not only solve the personal problems of the soldiers, but also bring these people closer to the court.

If one of them meets the conditions of a female knight, it is also a good opportunity to expand the female knight.

Liu Xie felt that it made sense, so he issued an edict to hold large-scale blind date gatherings on a regular basis. All single soldiers in the Chinese army, regardless of gender, can go on blind dates.After meeting a suitable partner, they can get married after passing the review.After getting married, you can join the army as a husband and wife, or you can choose to retire and settle on the spot, whatever you want.

The imperial edict looks very equal, but in fact it is not equal at all.

First of all, there are more men than women in the army.If they get married, it is natural for a large number of local women to marry lieutenant soldiers.The son of heaven is close to the army, and the salary is generous. How many of them are willing to stay and herd the sheep?Even if they are willing, the women who marry them may not be willing.Isn't it good to follow the army?

The second is that the soldiers understand the emperor's New Deal and know that the treatment of female knights is not bad.Of course, it is not as good as two people earning a salary together if one earns a salary.So when selecting people, they instinctively choose Han and Qiang women who are suitable for joining the women's army.Couples join the army and enjoy the treatment of military households, but they don't need to bear the constraints of military households, which is still very attractive.

As soon as the edict came out, Jincheng was boiling, and countless young men and women dressed up, looking forward to finding their ideal partner.There are also many women who seize the time to practice martial arts hard, hoping to become female knights like Ma Yunlu and Han Shaoying.

-

Sitting on the high platform, Xun Wenqian couldn't help applauding as she watched the two female knights below the stage ride their horses and bend their bows, shooting the straw figures one after another.

"Liangzhou women, don't give in to men."

Han Wenying, who was standing by the side, raised her eyebrows proudly. "Your honor. Everyone has their own strengths. The literary talents of Kanto women are also incomparable to those of Liangzhou women."

"Reading is not difficult. If you want to read, please ask Cai Lingshi to teach you. Martial arts is not easy. Look at me, even if I study for a lifetime, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw a bow or shoot an arrow. Zhao Mo is so amazing. Women will only appear in Liangzhou, and the future female generals will probably also be from Liangzhou."

Han Wenying laughed, her chest puffed up even higher.

Xun Wenqian felt ashamed of herself.In terms of body shape, Liangzhou women are more fit and graceful.

A female knight stepped onto the stage with her sword and bowed to salute. "My lord, someone wants to see you." As he spoke, he handed over a bamboo slip with both hands.

Xun Wenqian was very surprised, who would ask to see her?She took a look at the bamboo slips and was even more surprised.

This is a famous thorn, which reads "Hanyang Wang Yi, asked about daily life, styled Wenxiu."

It is a courtesy among scholars to hand over famous thorns when paying homage, and a woman also prepared famous thorns, and it didn't look like they were prepared temporarily, so Xun Wenqian couldn't help but look down.

She got up and walked to the side of the stage, looked down, and saw a young woman standing under the stage, saw her watching, bowed and saluted, quite thoughtful.Looking at her figure, although she is tall, she is not considered strong, and she does not carry any weapons on her body. She does not seem to be here to join the army for an exam.

"Please come up."

The female knight went down and conveyed Xun Wenqian's words, and Wang Yi quickly came up and saluted again.

Xun Wenqian led Wang Yi to sit at the table, pointed at the famous thorn and smiled, "Did you come to see me specially?"

Wang Yi smiled and pointed. "I have heard of the nobleman's name a long time ago. This time I came to see you with my father, so I wanted to ask to see the nobleman, so I prepared a famous stab to show my courtesy."

"Your father is..."

"My father, Wang Wei, is the prime minister of Hanyang County. He went to Hedong three months ago to report on his duties and met his father Xun Yin. I went with my father to broaden my horizons. I was lucky to visit Wenxiu Zhifang. That's how I got my name. At that time The owner of the workshop mentioned the nobleman, so I thought I must meet the nobleman when I have the opportunity."

Chapter 416 Yuan Shu's Victory

Xun Wenqian knew Wenxiu Zhifang, and she helped Tang Ji come up with the name.

Tang Ji is capable of doing things. Seeing that there are more and more paper workshops in Hedong, she is worried that there will be vicious competition and affect the income.She wrote to Xun Wenqian, asking Xun Wenqian to wait for the opportunity to speak, and wanted to ask the emperor to issue an edict to limit the number of Hedong Zhifang.

But Xun Wenqian felt that it was not worth disturbing the emperor because of such a trivial matter.

Besides, Tang Ji's paper workshop was established the earliest and has a large number of regular customers, so there is no need to worry about competition.As long as the product quality can be guaranteed, there is no need to worry about income.Does anyone else dare to accept your goods without paying?

In contrast, what Tang Ji needs is to build a brand name and let more people know about it, so as not to confuse it with other paper mills.

Therefore, she suggested that Tang Ji change her name, don't call it Hedong Zhifang, and choose a proprietary name.

For this name, she asked Liu Xie for instructions and Cai Yan to inscribe it, and it should be hung on the gate of Zhifang now.

Cai Yan is a female Lingshi and the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong. Her calligraphy is not inferior to her father. I believe Tang Ji will not let go of such a good publicity opportunity.Wang Yi named himself Wenxiu probably because of that plaque.

Xun Wenqian admired Wang Yi very much and asked her why she came.

As soon as Wang Yi came back from Hedong, he received an order from General Zhenxi to assemble an army. Knowing that the emperor and nobles were in Jincheng, he followed him.

When she left Hedong, the latest news she received was that Yuan Shao returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and was provoked by Yuan Shu, who planned to conquer Huainan himself.

"The fierce battle in the Kanto region is raging, but the emperor is interested in Song Jian. Is the cart before the horse?" Wang Yi said bluntly.

Xun Wenqian smiled and shook her head. "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the system of the Han family. You asked me such a thing, but you asked the wrong person."

Wang Yi smiled. "I heard that you are not only a noble person beside the emperor, but also sisters with Cai Lingshi and Ma Changshi. Have you heard nothing about it?"

"Of course I've listened to some, but that's not my ambition." Xun Wenqian took it easy. "Do you want to speak? I can help you convey it. It may not be possible to go to the emperor, so it is no problem to ask Cai Lingshi to have a look. But in my opinion, it may be better for you to go directly to Cai Lingshi."

Wang Yi smiled and nodded. "I heard that the nobleman's family has training, as expected. Please trouble the nobleman and convey it for me." As he said, he took out a roll of paper from his luggage and handed it to Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian ordered someone to put it away, and asked casually, "Have you ever read?"

"The enlightenment is relatively early, but it is this year's thing to really extend the teacher's study." Wang Yi turned his head to look at the female knights who were performing martial arts in the audience. I can only do not look for other ways, and hope that the nobleman will make it happen."

"You follow us." Han Shaoying said suddenly.

"You are……"

"The jewel in the palm of General Zhenxi, Han Shaoying." Xun Wenqian introduced, and then added. "Habayashi female cavalry elite."

Han Shaoying was a little embarrassed.She has just become a female knight, and she still relies on the face of her father Han Sui and her husband Yan Xing. Her actual ability is not outstanding, and she must not be able to afford the word elite.

But she really liked Wang Yi, and wanted to pull her into her camp, so she didn't care so much.

So far, the Habayashi female guards are just decorations, and there are less than 200 knights.However, with the implementation of the military household policy, the female army will soon become an army, and the knights of the Habayashi female guards will naturally lead the female army in the future.

At that time, they needed not only knights who could charge forward, but also counselors who could make plans.

But such a woman is hard to find in Liangzhou.Wang Yi came to her door, of course she had to act first.

Wang Yi hurriedly got up to salute, but there was not much enthusiasm in his eyes, on the contrary, he was a little alienated.

Xun Wenqian watched carefully and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Wang Yi was not moved by the name of General Zhenxi, he was a knowledgeable man.Her document must be given to the emperor for a look.

-

Pei Jun hurried into the big tent. "Your Majesty, Yangzhou Muyuan Shu has reported victory."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react immediately.

Yuan Shu reported victory?As far as his life is bound to be defeated in every battle, report a fart victory.Among the princes of the Kanto, he is the most cowardly and the worst.It is possible for any one of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce to win, but he alone is impossible.

"What's the victory?"

"Yuan Shu commanded Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei, Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao, Kuaiji Prefect Sun Ce to defeat Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao..."

"Pfft—" Liu Xie almost didn't burst out laughing, got up and took Yuan Shu's victory letter from Pei Jun, and started to read it by himself.Such an interesting thing is not interesting to listen to, it is still fun to watch it directly.

It has to be said that Liu Xie's decision was correct.

This victory letter is so interesting, you can almost imagine Yuan Shu dancing around.Commanding Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce defeated his lifelong enemy Yuan Shao. Anyone would be embarrassed, let alone a person like Yuan Shu who is already ecstatic.

"What the hell..." Liu Xie couldn't help being rude as he flicked the document in his hand.

It is true that the world and the earth work together, and the hero is not free when transported away.

You Yuan Shao also have today?It was even more embarrassing than the fiasco at Guandu.

Have you vomited blood?
