Nearly eight months have passed, and it is already early spring for Lu Zhe to lead his army back to Nanjun.

When the army had just arrived at the border of Nanjun, a welcoming procession was already standing on the border avenue waiting to greet them, officials dressed in the uniforms of a hundred officials lined up in a line, many attendants carried banners of various shapes and colors, and countless heads of Qiantou were outside the avenue.

The scene of fluttering flags was very gorgeous, and the solemn faces of the hundred officials remained still and added to the solemnity. The Qianshou on both sides of the avenue are full of incense cases, and the Qianshou who can't put the incense case is carrying a basket and jumping on the burden, without exception, carrying a lot of food Qianshou to make the scene look like a little to welcome Wang Shi.

Nanling is the capital of the Han Kingdom, and Nanjun is naturally the Zhili County of the Han Kingdom. As Lu Zhe's career and rise in Nanjun, the future must be the most famous place in the world, and it is normal for the Qianshou of Nanjun to have a sense of pride in his heart. The source of soldiers provided by Nanjun to Lu Zhe is also the largest number of counties in the world, and the leaders of the Qians are not only carrying food to welcome Wang Shi, but also to welcome back their own soldiers.

War is never romantic, and an army that can fight a brutal war romantically, such as the Gallic army led by a foreigner, a woman, or a dwarf, is doomed to a tragic end.

There is a poem in which the poem reads, "A few people returned to fight in ancient times", and there are more poems that describe the cruelty of war with gorgeous words, such as "Poor Wanli Guan Mountain Road, every year there are many autumn grasses", "The general dies in a hundred battles, and the strong man returns in ten years" ["Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles", there are too many.

The banner of the army appeared at the far end of the avenue, and at the forefront was the royal flag with a phoenix pattern, and the roar of horses' hooves could be heard from afar.

The hundred officials standing in line on the avenue naturally couldn't stretch their necks to destroy the solemnity, and the Qianshou on both sides of the avenue stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe to look at the distance.

I don't know who was the first to cheer, but after having a person's beginning, the capital of Qian, which welcomed the return of the army, opened its mouth and cheered loudly.

Lu Zhe, who rarely stepped on a chariot, naturally could no longer ride a horse because of the particularity of the occasion. At this moment, Lu Zhe was wearing a crown robe and standing upright on the chariot pulled by the horse.

The chariot used by Lü Zhe met the specifications of the royal family. The body is carved with a royal class, the canopy with a drooping roof is also in the willow tassel pattern, and the left and right ends of the chariot are fixed with shields depicting patterns.

There are three people on the chariot, one is the driver of the car, and the driver at this time is Yan Bi; The other guard was supposed to be wearing heavy armor and holding a spear and shield, also called the guard, but now it seems that there is no need to arrange a professional guard, and Sima Xin is standing in that position, Sima Xin is wearing the latest plate armor, which is actually a similar style of armor as the Sui and Tang Ming light armor. Holding a shield in one hand and a sword at his waist in the other, he showed a mighty appearance; The last place is, of course, Lu Zhe, the king of the Han Kingdom.

In fact, the staffing of the chariot does not only refer to the three people on the chariot, the most basic staffing of a normal chariot is in addition to the three people on the chariot, and the chariot also needs to have a "pawn" in the back of the chariot. In the era when chariots were widely used, "pawn" did not refer to a soldier, after all, "pawn" represented a military unit in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the minimum "pawn" establishment was 50 people. So what responsibilities does the military unit of this "pawn" have, in addition to fighting with the tank? That's right, when the vehicle needs to make a turn, they need to help lift the vehicle to change the trajectory of the wheels.

Lu Zhe could have done without the Four Horses Chariot. The chariots pulled by the six horses were all ready, but Lu Zhe still did not use the chariots pulled by the six horses in the end. The six-horse chariot was the "chariot of the Son of Heaven" jointly presented by the Korean and Wei royal families, and the four-horse chariot was made by the Han kingdom itself. The reason why he did not choose the "car of the Son of Heaven" presented by Wei Han can be interpreted as Lu Zhe's humility, but in fact, the carriage made by Wei Han did not have a shock absorbing device. There were no axles, and the chariots made by the Han Kingdom had shock absorbers and axles.

The shock absorbers only make the ride less bumpy, but the storage of the axles means that it can turn flexibly, and a vehicle without axles needs to stop if it wants to turn. Then it is up to the human to lift the wheels and change direction. A chariot that needs to turn and stop is not only inconvenient for Lu Zhe, but also has greater trouble. It also increases the possible risk factor, and it becomes an undesirable means of transportation.

By the way, according to etiquette, the chariot pulled by six horses is the "chariot of the Son of Heaven", which is the so-called "Son of Heaven driving six", the princes and kings are chariots pulled by four horses, and the doctors under them are pulled by two horses. Of course, in the subsequent historical changes, the "Son of Heaven Driving Six" has not changed, but the prince, the marquis, and the doctor can also use the chariot pulled by four horses, so no one takes Zhou Li seriously anymore.

Yan Bi is a minister, so there is nothing surprising to serve as a driver. But Sima Xin is actually above the king's chariot, which has a bit of meaning, after all, Sima Xin is a dignified captain.

On this occasion, Lu Zhe arranged for Sima Xin to share a car, of course, for a purpose, and the intention was of course the same as the meaning of the kings of previous dynasties inviting ministers to share a car, which was nothing more than to show the king's trust and importance to a certain minister, in order to open the way for an upcoming decision.

Sima Xin has been serving as a lieutenant for three years, and according to Lu Zhe's usual habit, a candidate for a certain position will not be in office for too long, and it is time to transfer Sima Xin. However, Lu Zhe has never appointed the supreme commander of the Sai operation, although it is because of the special relationship of the situation, and also because the qualifications and prestige of several lieutenant generals are insufficient. If the war outside Cyprus is stable, it will naturally not matter much if a few lieutenants will negotiate the mode, but the war outside Cyprus is facing a more complicated situation, and it is time to appoint a supreme commander to several army corps in Cyprus.

While the chariot was moving, Lu Zhe had been whispering some communication with Sima Xin. In fact, the two of them are discussing the war outside Cyprus, discussing the current situation of the war outside Cyprus, and also discussing the phased form and policy of the future war.

The ultimate goal of the war outside the Sai has long been set, and the most unfortunate thing is that it is necessary to regain the ownership of the river meander, firmly implement effective control of the Hetao area with abundant water and grass, and the extended strategic goal is to build a base for cultivating war horses after achieving the goal of controlling the warhorse, and compete with it outside the Yanmen Pass and the local area of Liaodong to form a connected strategic progress.

If you want the grassland to be implemented in a slightly smooth way, for now, the army under Lu Zhe has an advantage. The only obstacle is the current situation of the Central Plains, Qidi, Yandi, and Qindi, so in addition to sending Sima Xin out to lead the army to fight, Lu Zhe is also the top priority for internal management.

"The communist lieutenant is currently in Qindi, and he has a legion under his command, and with the newly formed army composed of young and strong newly recruited from Longxi, the strength of about 80,000 troops can play a role, which is not small," Lu Zhe looked ahead, leaving them little time to discuss in the car, and couldn't help but speed up his words: "Ji Bu is currently in Sanchuan County, and after the reorganization of the Central Plains Army, he will first take a legion to the north." The Lone Society appointed him as the supreme commander of the armies in the three regions of the Central Plains, Qidi, and Yandi, and he would guarantee your rear. ”

Sima Xin kept nodding, he also knew that Ji Bu was not the best candidate, it should be a lieutenant with rich experience in garrison, after all, the lieutenant was the governor of Hengshan County for a long time, and during that special period of time, Hengshan County was used as an important place to resist the north and the east, and the lieutenant did not make any mistakes when he was the governor, on the contrary, he was quite good. What is the pity? It was a common lieutenant who could not get out of Qin Di for a short period of time.

"Huan Chu and Wu Rui will serve as Ji Bu's left and right deputies, three full-strength front-line legions plus nearly 300,000 local garrison troops. Even if there is a recurrence, there are enough troops to suppress it. Lu Zhe seemed to see Sima Xin's concern, and finally added.

What additional actions can Sima Xin do besides nodding? Huan Chu and Wu Rui were reused after being silent, and they didn't have much contact with Ji Bu, and the arrangement of people like Lu Zhe actually played a balancing role.

Wu Rui has much experience in leading troops, and Sima Xin is not clear. But how much does Sima Xin know that Wu Rui has experience in managing the military affairs and administration of a county, and it seems that Wu Rui is still doing quite well?

Huan Chu was originally a general of the Chu State, and he almost occupied the entire Lujiang County for a time, but unfortunately Huan Chu's luck was really bad. Under the invasion of Xiang Liang's army, Huan Chu's army was lost in the battle, and Huan Chu, who had lost his army, defected to Lü Zhe and was inactive in recent years. Now Lu Zhe is reusing. I believe that Huan Chu will understand that this is a new opportunity, and it must be more difficult.

"Who will be the judge and the chief judge of the army?" Sima Xin is still a lieutenant now, so he naturally has to consider the center.

The chief judge of the army is the highest officer who maintains the law and order of the army, and in fact, he also plays the role of a monitoring general, and the other supervisor of the army is the chief warden.

Lu Zhe did not give an answer, but asked: "Taiwei has someone to recommend?" ”

It's not that Sima Xin didn't dare to recommend, but there was no suitable candidate, so he was stunned for a while.

Don't use habitual thinking to understand the state under the rule of Lü Zhe, only under the system where everything except the emperor is a slave, as a courtier, he does not have the right to build or strategy for the future of the country, and at the same time, the courtiers under the "slave system" have no obligations and responsibilities to the state.

In the absence of obligations and responsibilities, the first priority of any person is to please the "slave chief", as long as they can please the "slave chief", they can get what they want, how can they think about the stability of the country, and how can they care about what kind of current situation the country will face. If only because their net worth, life, glory and wealth are all "slave leaders", then only the "slave leaders" have obligations and responsibilities to the state, and the rest of the people do not care so much about whether the interests of the country are harmed, and even feel that the change of ruler is just a new object of please.

The Han State follows the "co-governance system", which means that it is not "one world", and the country is not only Lu Zhe's, but also the owner of the country. The king has duties and responsibilities to the state, and the lords and ministers also have the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of the state.

In layman's terms, "the king is the chairman, the noble lord is the majority shareholder, the official is the minority shareholder, and the people are the shareholder", so that once the interests of the country are lost, then the interests of all people will be harmed, and the interests of the state are guaranteed under this system to protect their own interests.

Of course, no system is perfect, it is people who make the system, and the executor of the system is also a person, and it must be a person who destroys the system, so ......

Lu Zhe has been thinking about the system, but the most important thing now is to draw up the candidates. He saw Sima Xin stunned, and after being silent for a while, he asked: "Is it feasible for Li Zuoche to serve as the judge of the general army and Wu Liang to serve as the chief warden?" ”

Sima Xin seemed to be thinking in his mind, and after a while, he responded: "The minister thinks it is appropriate, but he still needs to listen to the opinions of other colleagues." ”

At this point, they were not far from greeting the crowd, and there were bursts of cheers in their ears, and the civil and military officials standing in rows and rows had already leaned forward in a saluting form.

There is an established etiquette pattern for welcoming the return of the king on the expedition, according to the custom, people will be arranged to sing a certain poem in the "Book of Songs", and the distant chanting "How can you say that there is no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! It gradually became clear that it was obvious that the choice of the Book of Songs? Qin Feng? No Clothes" as a welcome poem.

"I didn't expect it to be this." King Wei said to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng nodded and didn't make any remarks, and he also felt a little sensitive in his heart, isn't it just a song "Qin Feng?" No clothes", not only Qin Jun can sing, in fact, "Qin Feng? "No Clothes" is also one of the "military songs" of the armies of other countries, and it is even more clear that the "Book of Songs" does not belong to anyone exactly from the moment it was born, and it is a culture shared by all ethnic groups in China.

Wei Ji and Han Cheng shared a car, and side by side with their car were the generals of the Qin royal family and the chariot carrying Lu Zhe's two sons, followed by the chariots of civil and military officials who were different in front and back according to their different statuses.

Jiang Lu heard that there were many people in front of him singing "Qin Feng? The expression on his face was a little complicated when he didn't know what kind of emotion drove him to turn his head and look at the car where Xu Yan was behind him, and there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes.

Of course, Xu Yan found the gaze from Jiang Lu, and he also bowed his hand to Jiang Lu, and then maintained a solemn posture.

The returning army also began to chant in echo: "How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

There is no other sound between heaven and earth, only "Qin Feng? "No Clothes" is floating and reverberating...... (To be continued......) R1292
