"Poor people must have something to hate, agree?"

"Agreed, but ......"

"No, but, it must be because they chose something wrong, and then they will meet a tragic fate. Life is always faced with one choice after another, and no one forces them to make that choice. Since they have chosen what they want, any consequences will be borne by them. ”

"That's it, I'm going to reply."

Say what? It is said that some people from all over the Central Plains poured into Qindi Lantian. Many of these people were nobles from the "old days" or wealthy merchants or big families, but when the land under their feet was incorporated into the empire's borders, they caused some problems for the empire in some ways.

What's the trouble? But opposition or rebellion against the rule of the empire can also make the hostile forces that finance the empire.

It has been three years since the Central Plains were brought under the rule of the Empire, and those who once led the disturbance have been duly punished, and the lives of some of those who remain are still going on. It took them a year or two to catch their breath, but in the face of popular rejection and official indifference, the situation can only be said to be getting worse day by day.

Warm and bright like the sun, there are always places where the sun can't shine, and there are some places where even if it does, it can't melt the ice. The laws of the empire are sacred and just, but it is people who enforce the law, as long as everything is controlled by people, the front is white, and the reverse will be black, Lu Zhe has never issued a special order for the people who have been dealt with, their families, but it does not mean that the justice of the law will take care of everyone.

The Imperial Mission to Central Asia was widely known, and many merchants accompanied it to make a lot of noise, and it was already well known about the exploration of trade routes between the East and the West, so what did it mean to open up a new trade route? Anyone with a modicum of economic savvy will understand.

"They want to get a piece of the pie and they don't see what they are in."

"It's because they know their situation that they want to get involved."

"Your attitude is to be receptive to them?"

"Nope! They have a grudge in their hearts, and they travel tens of thousands of miles with such a person, and no one can guess what they will do. ”

"And what do you want to express?"

"It's just emotional."

"Deputy envoy, there are some things that cannot be emotional. Do you understand? ”

"Understood. You are the right envoy, and it is up to you to decide whether you accept them or not. ”

"Then, Baron Ben repeats it again, don't intercede for them."

Han Xin just stood aside and quietly listened to the conversation between Liu Bang and Chen Yu, they had left Luoyang for eight days, entered Qindi from Hangu Pass, and came to Lantian which was only more than sixty miles away from Xianyang.

Lantian used to be a training place for the Qin State, and now it is still a military base for military training, but the owner has changed the surname of the Zhao family of the Qin State to the Lu royal family of the empire. More than 140,000 people are stationed here. It's all good guys from all over Qin, who learn fighting skills here, get used to life in the barracks, wait for the winter to pass, and if there are no accidents, they will go everywhere.

Winter has entered the season, and a new round of compulsory military service is in operation throughout the empire, and unlike usual, the previous compulsory military system was for everyone. Starting this year, only one person from each household is required, and it is up to each family to decide who is responsible for the compulsory military system.

It is not the compulsory military system that is being reformed. It was the central government that issued a change that lasted for three years, and not many people know what happened to make the policy change.

Gongwei is a person who knows the details of the changes in the national policy, and he is in the Lantian camp. Now sitting on the main seat of the tent, silently listening to Liu Bang and Chen Yudou's mouth is more like a deliberative conversation.

The change in national policy is not a trivial matter, and the official announcement is sympathetic to the people's feelings. Considering that the war in the Empire was suspended, most people were given a three-year break.

What is it actually? The reason for the change in the national policy is that the deficit of the national treasury is too shocking due to the long-term expenditure, and the grain has also reached the warning line in order to support the approaching expeditionary war. In order to alleviate the fiscal deficit and grain consumption, the consul Xiao He begged for three years of respite from the ruler of the empire, Lü Zhe, who promised to give him three years of respite.

"There are still scattered Hu people on the way north, and I will send 5,000 cavalry to the north with you." Gongwei is already a fourth-class marquis, in addition to the title of nobleman, he is also the general of Zhenxi and the governor of the northwest of the empire, and he controls the two units of the 7th Mixed Regiment and the 20th Cavalry Corps.

"And sporadic Hu people?" Liu Bang's eyebrows jumped: "The armed personnel of the envoy group are more than 10,000 people. ”

"Five thousand cavalry is to supplement the Jiuyuan garrison." The lieutenant didn't like Liu Bang, and he didn't hide his disgust, and his tone was even more flat: "The envoy should know that in order for you to cross the Western Regions safely, the Wehrmacht will have 80,000 cavalry to escort you along the way. ”

Not only did Liu Bang know, but in fact, Chen Yu, Han Xin and others already knew before they left Nanling.

There was a big trouble on Wusun's side, the Hu people under the command of Maodun were constantly invading in the south, Ding Ling's army was approaching in the north, and the Xiongnu army assembled by Jituo in the northeast was already at war with Wusun.

According to their original words, Wusun has reached a point of danger, if the empire does not help, in the spring season next year, there may be no such a country as Wusun in the world.

The empire needs Wusun, at least in the past few years, to attract the attention of the grassland Hu people, so that the Wehrmacht can fully prepare for fighting in the grassland. After a long discussion between the Taiwei Department and the General's Mansion, they also believed that the Hu people's siege of Wusun might be a good opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Hu people.

In this way, the empire has reached a consensus on the need for assistance to Wusun, but how to do it, or what practical benefits the empire can obtain in the process of assistance, or what goals it can achieve, always needs to be deployed step by step.

At present, the Wehrmacht has eleven legions in the Hetao area, two of which are mixed legions that have been determined to be returned to the Qin Dynasty, which are the first and second legions of the Qin brand, and only nine belong to the Wehrmacht sequence.

Of the nine legions, the first. Fifth, the thirteenth was originally a cavalry system, and the second and third corps, which were originally mixed, have been reorganized into a cavalry system, which means that there are currently five cavalry corps on the Hetao side, and after nearly seven months of replenishment, these five cavalry corps are actually in a full state. In addition to the five cavalry regiments. There were also tenth, eleventh, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, five mixed regiments, but compared to the full cavalry regiments, these infantry regiments were not fully formed.

Naturally, the lieutenant would not introduce the arrangements of the Wehrmacht to the people of the envoys, and he did not even talk about the war that was about to break out in northern Xinjiang. He will come here with the county guard, in order to support the merchants of Qindi.

Not all the merchants from Qin came to Lantian, most of them stayed in Xianyang and waited for the envoys to pass, and only two came this time, namely Zhao Zhen of the Zhao clan and Feng Ran of the Feng clan.

Liu Bang and Chen Yu met with Zhao Zhen and Feng Ran from Qindi. They also selectively met with some businessmen from all over the Central Plains. Those who came from the Central Plains but were not received, Liu Bang has made it public to tell them to get out.

"The envoys will stay in Xianyang for five days?" The lieutenant wasn't using a question sentence at all, it was more like a request. He looked at Liu Bang and continued, "Within five days, merchants from Longxi County will join the ranks, and they will bring three thousand knights, and the knights will be under Han Xin's command. ”

"Yes, yes, the general has a point. The envoys will definitely stay in Xianyang for five days, not a second less. Liu Bang smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty wants to let more people in the empire know about Central Asia." Even further afield in the Mediterranean, the more people involved, the better. ”

The county guard, who had not been silent, was so grateful to the lieutenant, he knew that the lieutenant could open such a mouth, and Liu Bang did not dare to disobey after he spoke, if he had to speak...... Liu Bang doesn't know if it's a bird or not.

"General." Han Xin took a step forward and saluted the captain on the chest: "Three days." It will only stay for three days. ”

The lieutenant just looked at Han Xin, watching intently.

"The stay should not exceed three days at each place you pass." Han Xin didn't mean to be afraid of the lieutenant at all, it wasn't that Han Xin was Lu Zhe's apprentice, it was that he was originally such a person. He looked at the co-lieutenant earnestly. said: "Before leaving, the itinerary has been set, and every time the imperial territory passes through a city, it can only stay for three days at most, and three days is the limit. ”

"Is that what Your Majesty meant?" There was no joy or anger in the lieutenant's tone.

Han Xin replied, "It was a plan made by the envoys in advance. ”

Gongwei's gaze turned to Liu Bang and Chen Yu, his eyes full of majesty.

Chen Yu wanted to speak, opened his mouth, and went back and forth several times, but not a word "jumped" out of his mouth.

"This ...... Hehe, hehe......" Liu Bang was smiling awkwardly, first smiling at the lieutenant, then looking at Han Xin, in a consultative tone: "Commander Han, the plan is dead, and the person is alive." People always have to know how to adapt to the needs of the situation, don't they? He kept blinking as he spoke, hinting too clearly that he had to sell a face to a co-lieutenant who was both a marquis and had so many military titles.

Everyone in the tent looked at Han Xin in unison, and under the gaze of everyone, he said unhurriedly: "Make a plan, unless there is an accident, there is no need to change it." It is clear that there have been no accidents in the diplomatic corps at present, and that the plans made should not have been made in advance if they had not been changed at will when there had been no accidents. ”

Yu Fanjun, who was standing on Han Xin's side, already had a cold sweat on his forehead, and his back was also astringent with sweat for a while.

That's a co-lieutenant, the marquis of the empire can count on one hand, and the co-lieutenant is one of them. However, the co-lieutenant was not only the marquis of the empire, but also the general of Zhenxi, the governor of the northwest, the commander of the 7th Mixed Regiment and the 20th Cavalry Corps, and could be regarded as one of the real power figures in the empire.

The lieutenant stood up and looked around at everyone in the tent, his gaze stayed on Han Xin's body for the longest time, just "Hehe! He smiled, and walked out.

It wasn't until the lieutenant left that the local county guard also stood up, he smiled bitterly a few times, and said, "Farewell." It is also a step away.

It was until the members of the non-envoy group had left, Liu Bang immediately jumped up and shouted again and again: "It's miserable, it's miserable!" This offends the Marquis Gong! ”

Chen Yu sat down directly, the expression on his face was almost twisted together, his facial features were deformed, and he said in a trembling voice: "There are only seven marquis in the empire, except for Han Hou, Ji Hou, Xiong Hou, Ji Bu, Gongwei, Xu Zhi, and Luo Shao, which one is not a marquis killed in the battle array?" His Majesty has great trust in them and is very fond of them, and it would not be wise to offend any of them. ”

Han Xin seemed to be a little puzzled why everyone was crying, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

When everyone heard Han Xin's question, they were a little dumbfounded and a little puzzled, and they didn't know how many people scolded Han Xin in their hearts for being a guy with no emotional intelligence.

"Fortunately, you are Your Majesty's only apprentice, and fortunately, you grew up with Prince Yi, Prince Qi, several princes, and princesses, you are so lucky!" Yu Fanjun has a very good relationship with Han Xin, and some words are perfect for him to say. He said: "It is a promising future like you, and if anyone comes to say those things to the Marquis of Gong, it will not be just the word 'hehe'." ”

"Yes, if I were to do it, I suspect that the Marquis Gong would scold me for being a." Liu Bang is still smiling bitterly. He raised his hand and pointed at Han Xin with a smile, pulling an ugly smile: "Be flexible, for the most powerful person in the empire, just stay in Xianyang for two more days, it won't hinder anything, right, and you won't lack two days, right, don't you, ...... You...... You ......"

"It's still light to scold, if you are hated, you are hated by the most powerful marquis of the empire, and you will inevitably be a marquis who will be a captain in the future, no one can bear it, I don't know what will happen." Chen Yu looked at Han Xin with admiration and said: "You are too kind, but the old man sells you to say a word, Your Majesty's apprentice identity will not protect you forever, you should have a bright future, don't set up obstacles to your beautiful life because you don't have the necessary enemies." ”

"......" Han Xin was thinking, but he didn't know if he heard it, so he said, "It's true that I am His Majesty's apprentice, but I have never exercised any privileges because of this?" ”

Liu Bang's reaction was to directly pat his forehead a few times, and then covered his face and couldn't stand it anymore.

Chen Yu was stunned, raised his hand and pointed at Han Xin, and finally hung down weakly.

"The prince likes Captain Han very much, and the queen and several ladies also love Captain Han very much." Yu Fanjun did not hide his jealousy, and said: "Your Majesty's expectations for Captain Han are very high and great. ”

Everyone just listened, basically nodding, only Han Xin showed a blank expression...... (To be continued......)
