Hu Liuniang was slightly taken aback: "Do you want to use soldiers again?" ”

"Exactly!" Lu Yao nodded.

The county is peaceful, and all kinds of general affairs are complicated, so women like Hu Liuniang will be used to participate in political affairs. When Hu Liuniang was in Funiu Village in the past, she was a big expert in selling smuggled salt, smuggling ordnance, and selling stolen goods, and she handled a lot of goods every day. Since the signing of the warehouse and the second Cao, she has felt a great responsibility, and she does not dare to neglect everything. In the last few days, as the accounts and registers of various places were being put to be handed over to the steward, she had been working tirelessly for several days without sleep, and her eyes, which had been bright and wavering, had become bloodshot. After working to such an extent, where is there still time to find out Lu Yao's mobilization of troops and horses for several days, hoping for a series of large-scale arrangements? It is even more inevitable that Lu Yao will be angry when he opens the treasury without authorization.

But after all, this former heroine of the green forest was a person with a smart and abnormal mind, and immediately thought of the direction that Lu Yao was trying to plot: "Tuoba Xianbei? ”

"That's right." Lu Yao nodded again, and said confidently: "It's not a secret, now Tuoba Xianbei is in chaos. The internal tribes are rebellious and disturbed day by day, and there are soldiers and horses in the two states outside, and even the Xianbei tribes such as Yuwen and Murong are also interested in profiting. If this continues, I am afraid that this powerful clan in northern Xinjiang is about to collapse. If I don't take advantage of this troubled waters, won't I miss the opportunity? Therefore, the day before yesterday, the generals agreed that they would raise 8,000 elite soldiers and go north on the same day. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yao took a step forward and smiled gently: "The military discussion was in a hurry, and the people on the left and right thought that they were negligent, and they didn't inform the owner of Hu Dazhai, I'm really sorry." ”

Although Hu Liuniang is already one of his subordinate officials, Lu Yao always feels that the title of "Hu Dazhai Master" is very pleasant, so he has never changed it. So much so that He Yun complained several times in private, isn't this title clearly intended to link the heroes of the green forest with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court.

"General, don't be polite......" Hu Liuniang muttered with a cold face, opened several stacks of thick books one by one, and looked at them carefully. The logistical demands of a troop movement of this magnitude are very high, and she will have to be busy in the next few days.

Hu Liuniang's attitude towards Lu Yao has always been not like that of her subordinates, but Lu Yao doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. For him, Xue Tong, He Yun, Hu Liuniang, of course, as well as the county lord of Jingling and her guard leader Wang De, etc., were the first people in the world he saw after he "woke up", perhaps out of instinct, and vaguely always felt that it seemed to be more cordial than ordinary people. At this time, Hu Liuniang re-counted the accounts, and Lu Yao sat down on a pile of rice grain bags next to him, waiting patiently.

At the beginning of Dai County a month ago, Lu Yao gathered 7,000 troops, thinking that it was already the location of the heavy troops in northern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, in the following days, although some of the Hu knights returned to their tribes, at the same time, more Hu and Jin tribes from all over the county depended on. With the provision of arable land, pasture and security, the selection of sergeants from among these new displaced people proceeded unusually well. Cao Wei Shi Pei Qian said that "on behalf of the county soldiers and horses control the strings, there are tens of thousands", at this moment, it seems that there is a good way.

Eight thousand soldiers, and all of them are enough to be called elite by Lu Yao, which is not much different from pouring out of the current Daijun. Of course, after all, Daijun is only a small land, and if this number is in the past, it is not enough to compare with Tuoba Xianbei's 400,000 iron horsemen. But when Tuoba Xianbei was attacked on all sides, if the eight thousand elites were used properly, they were a powerful force that could change the world. All the generals from Lu Yao down are full of confidence, and they will be able to use this team of men and horses to fight a new situation on the desert!

Such confidence is by no means unfounded, but a natural accumulation of countless victories in battles. Lu Yao entered Daijun with more than a thousand tired soldiers, and within ten months, he killed the rebellious horse thieves to the head, and co-opted dozens of Zahu tribes by forceful means, so as to expand his strength, alliance with Daijun Wuhuan, and surrender to Changshan bandits, and finally be able to dominate the northern frontier. In this process, every soldier was deeply convinced by Lu Yao's military methods, and the warriors of Hezhou, the old beggar department, the Jisang subjugation, the Jizhou cavalry, and even the Hu soldiers who served on behalf of the county, they were pinched into a whole in the battles again and again, and were tempered with strong self-confidence and desire to win.

On the other hand, in order to firmly control the army and motivate the soldiers to fight bravely, Lu Yao's army has always adopted the policy of severe punishment and reward. Those who showed valor in the battle of Daijun were greatly rewarded. Lu Yao, who commanded the entire Dai County, was troubled by the emptiness of the treasury, and the backbone officers all found that their troops had expanded, their status had risen rapidly, and they had been bribed by the looted wealth; Ordinary soldiers also shared in the dividends of the war through large rewards. This made the whole army extremely satisfied with the battle of Daijun, and even to some extent, began to look forward to the arrival of the next war. After the Hu warriors who were born to die and were easy to die were incorporated into the Jin army in large numbers, it obviously intensified the spread of this idea.

When the Tuoba Xianbei Sacrifice Ceremony ended in a farce, and finally caused a great chaos that affected the north and south of the desert, the fierce beasts that were originally entrenched in the north suddenly became a mouth-watering piece of fat. Now that the surrounding ministries have been involved, how can the ambitious generals of Daijun be willing to fall behind?

The most belligerent Shen Jin naturally took the lead in advocating waving his army to the north. Ding Miao, who was stationed in Baidaochuan, also began to fight after sending people hundreds of miles deep into the desert to confirm the chaotic situation of Tuoba Xianbei. Liu Yao is the time when he is a young man, and he has the opportunity to cross the Hanhai Sea to seal the wolf in front of him, and he doesn't want to miss it no matter what. Even Xue Tong, who was busy with military training, was a little eager to try.

Lu Yao deeply felt that the military heart was available, and he also felt that the opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lu Yao knew better than anyone of his time that the three or five years in front of him were the critical moments to stop the rise of Hu'er in Northern Xinjiang. However, the current situation of the weakness and emptiness of the Central Plains Dynasty began in the turbulent times of the late Han Dynasty, and began in the chaos after the Great Jin Dynasty. All Lu Yao can do is to build up his strength, and at the same time look forward to the opportunity to turn things around. This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

Although he had already considered the prospect of this dispatch countless times, Lu Yao was still a little excited. He turned around like a whirlwind, looking north from the top of the enclosure to the undulating mountains like the waves of the sea, and couldn't help but take a deep breath at the thought of the challenges he would face after flying over Guanshan. He clenched the long sword at his waist and said to himself: "If this trip goes well, you can gather the considerable strength of Tuoba Xianbei, and use this as the foundation, and I will hear about the affairs of Qi Huan and Jin Wen." ”

Qi Huan and Jin Wen were both overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou royal family was declining, and the alien race was strong, and it was recorded in the legend of the ram that "Nanyi and Beidi were in exchange, and China was endless." It is said that under the persecution of foreign races, the Central Plains vassal states such as Xing and Wei are in a precarious situation, and if this situation develops, the Chinese civilization, which has been inherited since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, may also reach a critical juncture of survival. Fortunately, at that time, overlords such as Qi Huan and Jin Wen rose up one after another, holding high the banner of respecting the king and helping the crumbling Zhou royal family. Qi Huan Gong is the head of the five hegemons, needless to say, this prince Jiuhe princes, Kuang helps the world, and the people are given by it today; The Duke of Wen of Jin defeated the Chu people in the Battle of Chengpu and set up five armies to expel Beidi, which changed the difficult situation on the northern border in one fell swoop.

These two overlords can really be described as people of the world, and what they have established is even more immortal. For hundreds of years after that, the world often referred to Qi Huan Jinwen as the name of the overlord. When Meng Ke saw King Qi Xuan, King Qi Xuan opened his mouth and asked, "Can you hear about Qi Huan and Jin Wen?" "It is the way to seek advice and dominate the princes. Now Lu Yao has the ambition of dancing to help the world, which may also be similar to Qi Huan and Jin Wencha, so this emotion is really from the bottom of his heart.

However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Son of Heaven lost power, and Wang Gang untied the bonds, so that the rise of various local lords and the rise of hegemony were the beginning of hundreds of years of great turmoil; When Lu Yao said these words, he was not respectful enough to the people who were still struggling to maintain the Zhongda Jin court; He compares himself to the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period as a minister, vaguely showing the idea of self-respect in the territory, and even more arrogant. If literati such as Wen Qiao and Shao Xu were around, maybe they would derive some strange ideas on the spot.

Fortunately, Hu Liuniang is not so particular, after all, she was born in the green forest, and her ancestors have been full of evil bandits for three generations, and they don't take the court seriously. And she grew up in a thief's den since she was a child, although her means are powerful, she lacks the influence of history, and it is estimated that she didn't understand what Lu Yao said at all.

"That's it!" Hu Liuniang finished the preliminary calculation of Cangcao's inventory, she slapped the account book, took pen and ink from her hand, added a string of numbers, and loudly ordered a series of instructions, and several of her subordinates immediately ran around, allocating materials according to the book, and they were very busy.

Two days later, all preparations were made.

General Yingyang and Daijun Taishou Lu Yaoguang issued a proclamation, announcing that they should raise troops to the north at the order of Liu Kun, the general of Pingbei, to help Tuoba Xianbei Western Lord Yilu stabilize the situation in the desert, and at the same time denounced the Weinai Lou Division, the Bai Division, and the Wulu Hui Department for ignoring justice and poisoning the Li people.

On that day, Lu Yao set off on behalf of 8,000 iron cavalry of the county, and claimed to be 50,000 soldiers to the outside world. In the process of seizing Daijun, the Wuwei general Ding Miao, the Xuanwei general Xue Tong, the partial general Shen Jin, the partial general Liu Yao and other generals all accompanied the army, and the Wuhuan tribe of Daijun sent thousands of cavalry to help the battle. The two large battalions of Luochuan and Fort Warriors have flags in the sky, military morale, guns and halberds like forests, and armor reflecting the sun. Among the onlookers, there were elderly people from the Han family, all of whom looked at each other and exclaimed: "For decades, I have not seen the prosperity of the imperial army." ”
