Chapter 372: Just in time

The Son of Heaven and Zheng Xuan went to Youzhou Academy to participate in the meeting of the scriptures in a short period of time was spread, countless scholars and students sighed for not getting the news as soon as possible and missed this event, this is a rare literary event in the Han Dynasty, I heard that Mr. Kang Cheng has a permanent intention in Youzhou Academy to attract scholars from all over the world to rush to Beiping, of course, these news is also Liu Yu and others intentionally, so that Youzhou Academy can better recruit the world's virtuous people.

Soon after this grand event, Beiping City is welcoming the arrival of a big scene, in early May this year, on the third birthday of the son, the hussar general Liu Yi specially organized a large-scale military parade, and the elite soldiers and fierce generals of the three states will appear at the ceremony, this news is no less attractive to the soldiers in the barracks than the grand event of scripture and learning is to the literati.

The military camps in full swing in the military training in various parts of the three states will send a team of 500 people to participate in this military parade, these 500 people represent the strongest strength of each battalion, and there is a faint meaning of competing in this ceremony, Liu Yijun has always had the heaviest military merits and attaches great importance to the cultivation of military honor, so almost every non-commissioned officer hopes that he can be selected, adding glory to the battalion, and the commanders of each battalion are also not giving in to each other, and the selection work is carried out extremely meticulously.

In addition to the participation of the Son of Heaven and civil and military officials, the envoys of the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and the Western Regions are also invited, in Liu Yi's words, this is a great opportunity to raise the prestige of the Han army and the world! Of course, the princes from all walks of life also attach great importance to this, especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Yi's name for good fighting is in the world, and this military parade can also be spied on one or two, after all, everyone knows the truth of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. However, Liu Yi just wants to show his strength in front of the princes of the world, and he also hopes to bring them a certain amount of pressure and deterrence through this move, so at this time, Beiping is extraordinarily lively, and people from all walks of life are gathered here!

There are many people coming from all over the place, which is also a test of the ability of the Beiping Prefecture Government, and the candles in the Prefecture Mansion have been almost all night long, and the arrangements for personnel from all over the country, the setting of the parade routes, and the guards of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials are all not to be underestimated. From Liu Yi's point of view, the unprecedented pomp and influence brought by his military parade are similar to the Olympic Games in later generations.

Last time, because of Liu Yi's assassination, Xi Zhicai specially recruited 5,000 soldiers from Zhang He's Tiger Guard Battalion to enter the city to assist in the investigation, and this time he did not put them back for the safety of the parade.

At present, the daily flow of people in Beiping City has exceeded the usual days several times, and there is a trend of increasing, and the soldiers patrolling the streets are also much more frequent than in the past. The directors of those inns, shops, brothels and casinos in the city are full of praise for General Liu, and now there is still half a month before the military parade, but their daily income has been more than fifty percent more than usual, and some are even one or two times more, such as the windward residence, Chunfeng Lou and other large inns are even more overcrowded, and it is difficult to find a room, which greatly stimulates the development of commerce in the city of Beiping.

Chaoyang Gate is located in the south of Beiping, the flow of people who enter and exit from here every day is the crown of the city, the guard is also the strictest, the soldiers are in a team of 100 people, two hours a handover, the people and so on must be checked in detail, contraband such as swords are now not allowed to be brought into the city.

Today's Chaoyang Gate has a long queue in front of the city early in the morning, waiting to check into the city, but although the line is long, it is orderly, the people who have been to Beiping before know the rules here, and those who come for the first time are also shocked by the prosperity of this metropolis after listening to other people's explanations.

About a hundred zhang away from the city gate stood two young men dressed as scribes, followed by the attendants and carriages, the man in white with a sword at his waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a slight beard under his chin, and a dignified appearance, while the gray-shirted scribe beside him was small-eyed and thin-eyebrowed, short in stature, and looked rather ugly, and the two were talking about something from time to time in the procession into the city.

"Brother Yuan, Jingzhou has always been the world's furnace, and now the assassin Shi Jingsheng is good at governing the government, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not been affected, so there is enough money and food, a large population, Jiangling and Xiangyang are famous cities in the Han Dynasty, but compared with the Beiping in front of them, it is still superior, plus what we have heard along the way, it seems that this General Liu has excellent governance in addition to his amazing martial arts." Looking at the towering city walls of Beiping, the wide city gate and the long queue outside the city, the gray-shirted scribe couldn't help but sigh, Jingzhou is known as prosperous, but it is far from being compared with the capital of the northern region.

"Hehe, Shi Yuan's words are not bad, for my brother when he died in the world, he also ran in all directions, never saw a place such as the prosperity of Beiping, here is worthy of my Han capital, there are 170,000 households in a single city in Beiping, and the land of ordinary two or three counties is also quite inferior, Zhang Zicai, Chen Changwen and others are good materials for governance, but many of the laws and strategies are from the hands of General Liu, Shu was fortunate to have a long talk with the general that day, and his vision has been broken, and then in the state capital to see everyone with their lives, there is no wasteland, and more appreciate its ability to employ people, I saw that the procession into the city stretched for several miles, but there was no noise and noise, and I am afraid that it was rare to see it in other places. The white-clothed scribe said, these two are Xu Shu and Pang Tong, they rushed to Beiping after leaving Zhao Yun's camp that day, in order to be cautious, Zilong sent Yan Gang, the commander of the White Horse Battalion, to personally escort them, which shows that he attaches great importance to the two.

"In the past, I just heard that General Liu governed the army strictly, and he was seen in the camp of the three generals, but he was a tiger and wolf, but now I watched General Yan's words and deeds on the road, and I felt more deeply, and I heard that the general invited envoys from all over the world to parade for the birthday of the Son of Heaven, but you and I happened to meet it." Pang Tong said with a smile, in the Zhao Yun camp, he was extremely impressed by the fierceness of the soldiers of the iron cavalry battalion, and even compared it with the Jingzhou army, and came to the conclusion that if such a 3,000 iron cavalry is 20,000 foot soldiers in the plain, it is difficult to resist it, and now Guan Yangang, as a general, is still in the queue in order without the slightest order, and he admires it in his heart, the saying that the people are precious is simple to say, but how many people can do it?

"A military parade? This matter must be from the hands of General Liu, but it is extremely novel, Shiyuan, you are quite blessed, but this matter is concerned by the Quartet, Beiping City must be mixed now, and the state capital is no longer busy, otherwise it will not be difficult to go out of the city with a message from the general at the post station. Xu Shu said with a smile, Liu Yi attached great importance to Pang Tong's coming, although he was afraid that he would not be able to come in person for fear of disturbing the people, he still sent someone to explain it, and the etiquette was extremely thoughtful.

"Being in a high position is still able to be a corporal, and everyone under his command uses his life, so it seems that the prosperity of the three states of the Youji Division is not fortunate, and I want to see more and more who this famous general of the Han Dynasty is." Pang Tong said, no matter how conceited he is, he knows that he is never qualified to let Liu Yi personally greet him, and he can treat each other like this It is quite complacent for Pang Tong to be quite complacent, after all, he is not the famous Mr. Feng Xiao in later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not well-known.

"Brother Zhongfu, Brother Zhongfu, I didn't expect to see each other here, forgive me, so I will talk to each other and will not rob everyone's position." At this time, the boy in a brocade cloth walked up quickly and said to Yan Gangyan, and at the same time did not forget to explain to the people behind him, seeing that he was dressed beautifully, his face was like a crown of jade, and the jade ornament on the fan pendant was crystal clear, presumably he must be a child of a big family.

"Oh, Zhao Gongzi, how did you end up here? Is it to see ... Yan Gang greeted with a smile when he saw the person who came, and heard that the lord mentioned that this Zhao Gongzi has been busy with business all over the Han Dynasty all the year round, and it is rare to go back to Youzhou, so he must have come to see the lord today.

"Hehe, my brother made this big event, how can my younger brother not come and see it, I heard that Zhongfu went there and came back so soon." Zhao Gongzi is obviously very familiar with Yan Gang, and even knows his whereabouts, and uses the word brother to address Liu Yi.

Speaking of this person and Liu Yi at the beginning, they were friends and foes, it should be said that the Qi meeting of the three brothers of Langsheng also has an inseparable relationship with him, if it wasn't for the fact that he robbed the people's daughter that day and was stopped by Zhao Yun, and then Liu Yi and Gan Ning helped out, there would be no later righteousness in the mountains and forests! This person is Zhao Hai, the son of Zhao Zhongzhi, the permanent servant who was powerful in the world, and later because of Cai Yan's affairs, he and Liu Yi turned enemies into friends, and has always been respected as a brother, Liu Yi went to Luoyang when he also had a fight with the nephew of the general He Jin in the Closed Moon Pavilion, and the ten permanent servants killed Yuan Shao Cao Cao, but he escaped to Yan County, Liu Yi took him in for his old friendship, and provided him with funds to start a business.

Although Zhao Hai is a gentleman, but he is very righteous to his friends, Liu Yi was able to get Zhang to let Zhao Zhong appreciate it is thanks to his introduction, and the two are even more friendly later, Zhao Hai is not fake, but the talent of the business is not bad, with Liu Yi's support, he has done well in the past ten years, and now the Zhao family in Yixian County is one of the top two businessmen in Youzhou!

On that day, Fang Xian'er had the words that the four major Oiran of the Closed Moon Pavilion gathered in Youzhou, among which Qin Yuyao, Liu Ruyan and herself were Liu Yi's concubines, and the remaining Yao Qian'er was Zhao Hai's wife, there was a lot of movement between the two families, for the support of this brother Zhao Hai was not as big as the Zhen family's great cause, but he also went all out, the last time there was a drought in Youzhou, he did his best to store food at home with Liu Yi, and did not want a penny, it can be seen that the two have a deep relationship! He has always liked to take his beloved wife around, one for business, and the other for sightseeing, and that chic is even Liu Yi envious.

Because of Liu Yi's relationship, he is also very familiar with these generals in the army, and he knew that Yan Gang went to Yuzhou with Zhao Yun to crusade against Yuan Shu before, but today he saw him here and wanted to come over to say hello, no matter what matters in the army, it is inconvenient to say it here.

"Yan was ordered to come this time, and when he arrived in the city, he ordered Zhao Gongzi to know about himself." This Zhao Hai is an eight-sided and exquisite character, with long sleeves and good at dancing, so Yan Gang treats him quite politely.

"Oh, I see, I think Zilong and I haven't seen each other for a year, I hope we can get together this time, since Zhongfu has something to do, I won't bother, and I will visit my brother after I enter the city." Liu Yi's army Zhao Hai knew, and when he saw Yan Gang say this, he chuckled and left, seeing that his car was still a hundred zhang away from everyone, and the scale was not small.

Although the queue waiting to enter the city is extremely long, but because of the orderly march, it is quite fast, less than a stick of incense time Xu Shu and his party have arrived at the city gate, according to the rules of the city guards will check their belongings, after reading the notice next to the road, Xu Shu also took the initiative to untie the long sword at his waist and handed it to the other party, as an official, he can not break the rules of the state capital.

"Xiao Lie, the captain of the third song of the Guards Battalion, has seen General Yan, and the lord has explained this morning, General Yan and the two gentlemen don't need to check, please enter the city quickly, and after the lord has discussed the matter, he will come to visit the two gentlemen in person." At this time, a tiger-backed bear-waisted and majestic-looking colonel came to a few people with a gun as a salute, and said very fluently, Xu Shu he didn't know, but Yan Gang was his old boss.

"Oh, you kid is now the captain, yes, do a good job, don't embarrass me, by the way, who the hell eats the ambitious leopard and dares to assassinate the general in this Beiping City? Hurt the Commander? Have you ever captured them all? Seeing this, Yan Gang immediately arranged for everyone to enter the city, and asked Xiao Lie that he had already received the news in the post house on the road, and he was extremely indignant in his heart.

"I don't know this humble position, all but one of those assassins that day have been killed, and now Lord Jia is still chasing the rest of the party, so the general should enter the city first." Xiao Lie said.

"Watch closely, this military parade is very powerful, and it is necessary to prevent people with ulterior motives from infiltrating the city." Yan Gang nodded and then entered the city after an explanation, the team behind him was still long, he would not delay Xiao Lie's execution of military affairs, anyway, he would know about it when he arrived at the state capital.

In the past few days, Liu Yi has been discussing matters in the state capital every day, and as the military parade approaches, everything is extremely complicated, and he can't bear to overwork Xi Zhicai and others, so he personally mediates in the middle. Pang Tong and Xu Shu are close friends, so when they come to Beiping, they naturally will not live in the post house, Yan Gang sent the two to Xu Shu's mansion and sent someone to the state capital to restore his life, and he first went to visit Guan Hai. Originally, I heard on the road that he was very concerned about Ziping with a broken arm, although he knew that he was in his house but saw him and a pair of beauties like glue, so unhappy, and when he asked, he knew that this was given by the lord and strictly ordered him to recuperate at home, and he couldn't help but say that Ziping was very lucky, and this kind of treatment was not available to the second general and the third general, and Guan Hai was also very happy to see him coming, and invited Yan Gang to drink in the house.

Today's palace is still the route of the military parade, now there is a rough confirmation, the queue of soldiers from the Zhengyang Gate, through the Vermilion Bird Road to the front of the palace square, after seeing the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, and then through the Xizhi Gate out of the city to the temporary station, the whole journey is about fifteen miles, but also to let the people of the city see the courage and courage of the soldiers of each battalion. This work was quite large, involving many yamen in Beijing, and it took a morning of deliberation before the division of responsibilities was roughly determined.

In the afternoon, everyone had to discuss the arrangement of the envoys and princes from all sides, so after the morning meeting, Liu Yi and everyone had a little food in the hall and talked about it after a short rest. In the morning, Liu Yi had learned that Xu Shu Pang Tong had arrived in Beijing, and he was in a very comfortable mood, and the state capital was busy up and down these days, so he asked Liu Liu to go to the largest Tianxiang Building in the city to book a banquet, and prepare to entertain Pang Shiyuan here in the evening.

"Lord, Zhao Hai and Zhao Gongzi ask to see you." As soon as he put down the rice cooker, Zi Yue had already come in to spread the word, Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard the report, so he asked everyone to rest for a while, and he was waiting for Zhao Hai in the side hall.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen him for more than a year, my brother's demeanor is still the same, I heard that my brother was assassinated that day, and my younger brother was very worried about it, but my brother's bravery is unparalleled in the world, which can hurt at this moment." When he saw Liu Yi and Zhao Hai, he laughed heartily and looked extremely affectionate.

"Don't give me these, it's been hard for you for more than a year, how are your younger brothers and sisters?" Every time he thinks of his interaction with Zhao Hai, Liu Yi can't help but be a little funny, but the friendship between this person and him is indeed deep, only under the two brothers.

"Brother Lao is worried, Qian'er is pregnant again, this trip back just happened to be in Beijing to have a baby, and the younger brother can often walk around with his brother, come and carry it up." Zhao Hai said and ordered someone to carry a few wooden boxes, which looked quite heavy, and after the wooden boxes were placed, he let these subordinates leave, and he came to Liu Yi to sit down and have tea without seeing it.

"All right?" Seeing that Zhao Hai was drinking extremely fast, Liu Yi asked after pouring it for him.

"How dare the younger brother be sloppy about the things that the elder brother explained, the maps and county records of Hebei, Yan, Xu, Henan, and Yang prefectures are all here, all the maps have been rechecked by Huang Ge, and the younger brother is also personally inspected on the spot, which should be correct." Zhao Haiyou took a sip of tea before speaking.

"Okay, your credit for this trip is not small, go back and rest for a few days first, and then get together with you when I'm busy, Liu Liu, go and ask Fengxiao to come here." Looking at Zhao Hai's confident expression, Liu Yi was also quite excited, Zhao Hai's parade around the country is actually just a disguise, the real purpose is to redraw these state and county maps, since the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty, these materials have been very scattered, and these boxes of maps and county records have great benefits for Liu Yi's future use of troops, how can the march and fight unfamiliar terrain be? With his and Guo Jia's words, a detailed map is enough for more than 10,000 elite soldiers! Huang Ge in the Heavenly Ear is extremely good at this matter, and Zhao Hai can make this matter extremely hidden. After all, he is not a person in Liu Yi's army, and he has enough trust from Langsheng.

"Brother's big thing is important, the younger brother won't bother, go home first to rest, and then go to the brother's mansion another day to beg for wine, Qian'er has always remembered the fairy and them, and this time we should get together." Zhao Hai stretched his waist comfortably and said, Liu Yi's words seemed a little unreasonable, but he knew that this was a sign of his closeness, so how could he care, and after saying a salute, he sprinkled away.
