Han Dao world

Chapter 552 The Bystander Clear
Tian Chou didn't get any reply from the emperor and was left alone.

He had been mentally prepared and was not in a hurry, waiting for Zhao Yun to pick him up and go to the tent.

The tent is very simple. Xingzai is preparing to evacuate Xiu Tuze, and he can leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Many things have already been loaded into the car, and only some necessities for life are left.

Even though Tian Chou and his family moved to Xuwu Mountain to live in seclusion, they traveled thousands of miles and experienced the most difficult days. When they saw the simplicity of the tent, they were still a little surprised, and subconsciously wondered if the emperor was angry and deliberately targeted him.

Zhao Yun saw his doubts and told him that Xiu Tuze's conditions were limited and everyone was similar.In addition to more official documents and books in the Tianzi's account, it will not be much better than yours.

Tian Chou was surprised and didn't say anything more.Since the emperor can bear it, there is nothing he can't bear.

Tian Chou invited Zhao Yun to a seat, briefly explaining his purpose, and hoped that Zhao Yun could help him speak.He rushed to Xiu Tuze, knowing that his task was arduous, and he had to ask Zhao Yun for help if he wanted to complete the task.

Zhao Yun held the tea bowl and was silent for a while. "Zitai, don't worry, just stay for a few more days."

"Is it okay to stay a few days longer?"

"A gentleman does it when he sees it. If it's not enough, it's not appropriate to move lightly." Zhao Yun smiled. "Since you've arrived here, Yuan Shao's watch must be arriving soon. Let's see what Yuan Shao's attitude is, and it won't be too late."

Tian Chou raised his eyebrows and nodded.He reckoned that Yuan Shao's performance table was coming soon.Yuan Shao fought on two fronts. In order to take down Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao had to make concessions to the people of Jizhou and sent [-] people from Jizhou, but he still couldn't quickly conquer Yijing.Once the emperor goes east, Yuan Shao must be caught in a two-front battle, and it is impossible not to be in a hurry.

"I heard from the emperor that when we arrive in Wuwei, we will review the women's army. Can I participate?"

"Of course." Zhao Yun agreed. "The purpose of the emperor's establishment of the women's army is to let the world know that there are talents among women. Going to Wuwei to review it is also to let more people see it."

"Women become an army, I always feel it's inappropriate." Tian Chou breathed out. "Of the more than a thousand people Ma Yunlu mentioned, only three hundred are Han Chinese, and the rest are either Qiang or Xianbei. Isn't that appropriate?"

"There are indeed not many Han people, but it's not that the Han people can't do it, but that there are many Xianbei people captured just now, and it is relatively easy to pick out women who are suitable for the army. When they arrive in the inner county, more women will naturally join the army, and the Han people will naturally become the main force. .”

"How many girl armies does the emperor want to build?" Tian Chou's brows became pimples.

Zhao Yun smiled and glanced at Tian Chou. "Don't worry. You may have the answer after reading the female army review."

Tian Chou was a little hurt.

He felt that Zhao Yun looked at him with an indescribable contempt, as if he was a vulgar person.He had contact with Zhao Yun before, and Zhao Yun had never seen him like this.

"How is the situation in northern Hebei?" Zhao Yun changed the subject and asked about the situation in his hometown. "What method did Yuan Shao use to summon so many troops? In terms of Hukou in northern Hebei, this is almost a waste of money."

Tian Chou told what he knew, and Zhao Yun smiled softly after listening. "Sure enough. In order to win, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to drink poison to quench his thirst, and he fell deeper and deeper."

Tian Chou looked at Zhao Yun in surprise, becoming more and more puzzled.

Yuan Shaoyi valued Jizhou people, especially those from northern Hebei. As a native of Hebei, why did Zhao Yun have such an attitude?

"Doesn't the Son of Heaven also rely heavily on people?" Tian Chou said, deliberately not mentioning the words "drinking poison to quench thirst".In his opinion, the Son of Heaven is no different from Yuan Shao, they both rely on the power of a certain place, the only difference is that the Son of Heaven relies heavily on Bingliangbian Prefecture, while Yuan Shao relies heavily on the hinterland of the Central Plains like Yanyu, Qingji.

"You are right, but not right," Zhao Yun said.

"Also ask Zilong for advice."

"The Bingliang people that the emperor relies on are all Bingliang people, including Han people and Qiang people. They include outstanding people like Jia Shizhong and Han Zhenxi, as well as ordinary herdsmen." Zhao Yun took a sip of tea. "Can Yuan Shao win the support of ordinary people in Jizhou?"

Tian Chou was slightly startled, and then understood what Zhao Yun meant.A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he let out a low voice.

"Great, the Son of Heaven is really smart. Put it to death and then live, people abandon me and take it, and win by surprise."

Zhao Yun smiled and remained silent.

-

A few days later, Liu Xie set off and left Xiu Tuze, who had been staying for more than a year.

Xiu Tuze regained his calm, and hundreds of herdsmen stayed behind, grazing for a living.

Watered by the blood left over from last year's war, Xiu Tuze's grassland was extraordinarily lush this year, and a thick layer of green was laid beside Xiu Tuze.

Tian Chou followed.They travel together during the day and have their own tent at night.No matter how busy Zhao Yun was, he would come over to see him and have a chat.

Tian Chou never saw the emperor, but he saw the female army, and several times he had close contact with several female knights.

What surprised him was not that there were many blond and blue-eyed bearded women in the female army, but that these female riders, without exception, were all skilled in riding and strong in martial arts.They talked, laughed and played on horseback, as light as swallows, as fierce as eagles, no less than men.

Tian Chou estimated that these female knights could easily defeat him in a one-on-one contest.Even in battle, these knights are not inferior to men.

No wonder Ma Yunlu was able to kill the commander of the Kuangsha tribe, and he was named a marquis for his meritorious service.With such an elite knight, it is not difficult to defeat the Xianbei, even if it is a woman...or an ordinary man.

Suddenly, Tian Chou looked forward to the upcoming review.

In mid-April, the emperor and his party rushed to Wuwei.

Entering Wuwei County, the originally loose and casual team became serious.Tian Chou never saw the knights walking in twos and threes again. All of them strictly guarded their posts and did not dare to leave the team without authorization.The female knights couldn't be seen anymore, Tian Chou only saw it once in a while, there were dozens of female knights guarding the queen's carriage.

Tian Chou saw the eldest son of the emperor, holding it in the hands of a middle-aged woman.The eldest son of the emperor looked at the passing knights, grinning his teeth-less mouth, with inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

Tian Chou took a look from a distance, and suddenly thought of Brother Yuan Tan, and couldn't help feeling sad for Yuan Shao.

Even if Yuan Shao can persist, his successor is not the opponent of the emperor, let alone the opponent of the descendants of the emperor. Those pampered and spoiled high-school children have never suffered such hardships.

The arrival of the emperor made Wuwei lively.There were more and more people standing by the side of the road watching, and many half-grown children even squeezed closer, sized up the solemn knight with curious eyes, and even reached out to touch the knight's boots if they were brave enough.

The knights sat on their horses and remained motionless, but they did not glare at these daring children.

Empress Fushou and nobleman Xun Wenqian would open the car windows and greet the onlookers when they parked for a rest, and they would come down when they parked, ask some children to ask questions, and reward some snacks.Every time this time came, the eldest son of the emperor would be extremely excited, waving his arms vigorously and giggling.

Seeing all this, Tian Chou often has an illusion.

Is this really the way of the Son of Heaven?
