I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

"This is a padded coat made of precious white folded seeds. It was made by the emperor's sympathy for the soldiers. He was named an army coat by the emperor." The emperor's envoy replied with a smile: "The emperor rewards meritorious deeds. The ranking of all the soldiers who have killed the enemy is bestowed upon you. Wang Taishou has made great achievements in battle, so naturally you are indispensable."

Both Yu Jin and Le Jin were waiting eagerly, with smiles on their lips. Since it was a reward for meritorious service, they would naturally have a share: this army coat, like the Mingguang armor, is obviously an honor that only meritorious soldiers can wear. !

Wang Taishou was born in a family, so he had seen Bai Diezi before, he was puzzled and said: "Bai Diezi? I was lucky enough to plant a pot at home in Taiyuan. When it blooms, it looks like balls of snowballs. Use it to make clothes?"

The envoy of the Son of Heaven smiled and said, "Bai Diezi is not only beautiful, but also an excellent material for making clothes. This military coat is dense and warm, and its effect of keeping warm in this cold winter is first-class, even better than expensive fur coats."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this famous flower that is used for viewing can have such a magical effect."

After the envoy of the Son of Heaven left, everyone felt more at ease, scrambling to open the reward box to see the clothes given by the emperor.The clothes are all plain army green, with fine stitching and full of cotton materials. The style is exactly the same as the modern military coat, it is long to the calf, and there is a neat double-breasted button in the middle, which is easy to put on and take off.Wrapped around the body, it can resist the wind and cold well.

Wang Taishou wondered: "The clothes are ready-made. Would the civilian guards in the army report our sizes to the court?"

Lu Bu sneered: "How can the civilian guards have time to care about these things? Beijing has long had a garment factory, and the sizes are all universal."

Wang Taishou stroked his beard: "But if you don't tailor your clothes, aren't you afraid that the clothes you make won't fit?"

Yu Jin picked up a few and compared them: "Wang Taishou, these clothes do come in different sizes, with one, two, and three written on the back of the collar, and there are also larger and smaller ones, and the sizes are obviously different."

Le Jin giggled and put on the smallest size of clothes on his body: "I heard that a pot of white stacks can be worth a few taels of silver. Are we going to wear silver on our bodies? It feels so luxurious..."

Zhao Yun was wearing the largest size. He put on an army green overcoat and said with a smile: "The clothes are indeed warm and thick, and easy to put on and take off. They can be worn directly on the outside of the battle armor, and can also be used as a bedding to keep out the cold at night."

A few people scratched their heads: "Oh, I'm not willing to put on the armor, I only dare to wear it and cover it in the camp. What if the enemy stabs me during the siege and my coat is torn? What if the emperor blames it? manage?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Clothes are meant to be worn. Since they are worn, they will naturally wear out. You don't have to worry, the Son of Heaven is not the kind of foolish and brainless person."

Yu Jin said: "I see that there are still a few boxes of needles, threads and buttons in the box. Isn't this just for mending when it is broken. Since the court has considered this point, you don't need to worry about it."

The room was bustling with clothes being distributed, when suddenly a soldier came in and reported: "General, there is a scholar from Yingchuan asking to see you, and he said that he can offer you a good strategy to defeat the enemy."

Lu Bu asked casually, "Who is it? I don't seem to know any scholars."

The soldier replied: "His name is Guo Jia, and he claims to have been recruited by the emperor."

Guo Jia from Yingchuan had heard Liu Xie mention that he would appear in this chaotic and bitterly cold place.Lu Bu's heart moved, he stood up and said, "Please come to my tent."

Two months ago, Guo Jia saw that the general situation of the world had changed, so he left Yingchuan, and missed the recruit envoy sent by the emperor on the way.

Since Emperor Ling delegated power to the localities, the power of the big officials in the borderlands has been very great, especially the appointment of local officials is mostly directly appointed by the big officials in the borderlands, and then it is enough to report to the court for the record.However, everything has changed now. Ever since Yuzhou Inspector Kong Ni's rebellion failed and Huangfusong led the central army to take over the local military affairs, the imperial court has carried out drastic changes regardless of local resistance.

First, local authority is reclaimed.All officials of the imperial court had to be approved and appointed by the central government, and the local governors no longer had the power to appoint officials.The emperor promoted Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili school in Beijing, as the new governor of Yuzhou.Zhong Yao was a famous scholar in Yingchuan. He was born in Xiaolian, he was an upright official, kind and accessible, and he was well-known in Yingchuan.

Secondly, the imperial court's supervision and restraint on the localities has been greatly enhanced.Supervising local officials has changed from the governor and postal supervisor to a branch of the Supervision Yuan. The Supervision Yuan is only responsible for its higher-level institutions. Report local government officials directly to the Son of Heaven.The core positions of these branches are all sent from outside the court, and there is almost no conflict of interest with the local clans and officials.If they bend the law for personal gain, they will be sentenced to death, and their family members in Beijing will also be implicated.

Not only that, local judicial power has also been weakened.Now the judiciary has become a branch of the Dali Temple. Like the Overwatch Council, the Dali Temple is independent in adjudicating cases. It is only responsible to its superiors and is supervised by the Overwatch Council.If the people think that the judgment is unfair, they can file an appeal, and the higher level of Dali Temple will conduct a second trial. If they feel that the person involved in the lawsuit is in collusion with Dali Temple, they can complain to the Supervisory Yuan about Dali Temple.This has greatly reduced the situation in the past that local tyrants could ignore the law and run rampant in the countryside.

It was not that the courtiers were operating behind the scenes, but that the Son of Heaven was not something in the pool, and Guo Jia immediately realized this.He packed his luggage, ordered someone to arrange a carriage, and prepared for a long journey.

A friend of Zhengyou got the gossip news that the emperor ordered the harem not to interfere in politics and shared with him: "Unexpectedly, although the emperor is young, he is not greedy for the beauty of the harem at all. But you, you can't hang out with beauties every day, go to Beijing as soon as possible It is serious to have a certain official position. I heard that the Luoyang School is recruiting talented people from all over the world to be hired as doctors, why don't we apply for it too."

Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly, covering his pale and thin lower half of his face: "Heroes are saddened by beauties. How could His Majesty not appreciate the beauty of this warm fragrance and jade? It's just that the beauty's intentions are not in the beauty's eyes. Father and brother."

The friend wondered: "What is your plan? Didn't you say you want to live in seclusion, why did you suddenly pack your bags now, but you changed your mind and wanted to go to Luoyang with me?"

Guo Jia smiled: "Unfortunately, I am not going to Luoyang, but to Bingzhou, and I will go to Jingzhou to see Chen Qun."

Half of Jingzhou's territory has been sorted out neatly by Xun Yu.Chen Qun is Xun Yu's son-in-law, Xun Yu had already arrested him as a young man, and he was so busy every day.When he heard that Guo Jia was coming, he was overjoyed and ran out to greet him before he even had time to get dressed, shouting, "The person who will rescue me from the sea of ​​suffering has arrived!"

It's a pity that Guo Jia only assisted Chen Qun in Jingzhou for half a month, and then he got into the carriage and left like the wind, leaving Chen Qun weeping in the wind: "Feng Xiao, you can't leave! You After leaving, I will have to live day and night without sleep! I can't handle so many documents..."

It's a pity that Guo Jia waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud, and resolutely embarked on the road to Bingzhou.

At this time, Lu Bu and Guo Jiachu met.Lu Bu carefully looked at this young man with pale skin, pointed chin, and fox eyes, and asked straightforwardly, "What's your plan, sir?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly and talked eloquently.At the beginning, Lu Bu thought Guo Jia was talking on paper, but gradually he became fascinated by it.But for a quarter of an hour, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly and said, "Sir, it's a great strategy!" He then left Guo Jia in the army and introduced him as an aide.

Seven days later, Lu Bu reorganized his soldiers and led 3000 people to attack Baili, and raided and occupied Ningyuan County in Wuyuan County.The Xiongnu were overjoyed to see the Lord General of Bingzhou go deep into the hinterland, and quickly organized the main force to attack, and attracted Wuhuan and Xianbei to help, intending to kill Lu Bu here and severely defeat the spirit of the Han army.

"When Lu Bu dies, the Han army will be without a leader, so why fear?"

"We must teach these three thousand Han soldiers that they will never return!"

However, this time, Lu Bu was uncharacteristically unable to hold on.The Huns tried every means to provoke him to come out for a decisive battle, but Lu Bu just refused to open the city gate.

The new Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang personally led troops to besiege Ningyuan County, and said contemptuously: "Is he regretting going deep into the hinterland? It's a good idea to wait for the reinforcements of the Han army! My sons, level this city for me!" "

The Huns rectified their siege vehicles, ready to hit the city wall.

Lu Bu on the tower saw the siege engine slowly being pushed in from a distance, and told the soldiers on the wall: "Get ready for shooting arrows, get ready for trebuchets, listen to my orders when the time comes!"

Guo Jia, who was beside him, shook his fan and smiled faintly: "General, don't worry, Jia has already prepared." After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers behind him: "Bring up the curtain under the city wall."
