Han Dao world

Chapter 892

Zhang Yun was not surprised that Xun You wanted to implement Dutian, and even expected it.

The moment Xun You crossed Yishui and entered Hejian, Shenpei disdainfully said that the people of Ruying were weak, and they still bowed their heads to the emperor after all.

They thought that by promoting Dutian in Jizhou and sacrificing Jizhou, they could get their own benefits, but they didn't know that the emperor's appetite would only grow.When he has the manpower and material resources of Jizhou, the Central Plains will not have the strength to fight against it.

Now listening to Xing Yong said that he came here for this purpose, he is obviously very calm.

"This is something that I, a martial artist, can control. Xing Jun can't afford to come to see me for this."

If the words are not speculative, Xing Yong is also very helpless. "I'm not asking the general to come forward, I just want to ask the general a question."

"what is the problem?"

"How long can you hold Yecheng?"

Zhang He hesitated for a moment. "At least a year."

"Are you sure?"

Zhang Yun was unhappy, and said angrily, "I dare not say too much, but I am sure for a year. You have also seen that the city of Ye is strong, and there is Zhangshui as a pond, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Xing Yong nodded. "The general is a famous general in Hebei. Since I say that, I know it well." After speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to say goodbye.

Zhang Yun was at a loss, but he didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only signal Zhang Xiong to send Xing Yong away.

For these celebrities, he has mixed feelings, he wants to be close to them, but also knows that he can't climb high, and taking the initiative to show favor is just asking for humiliation, so he can only try his best to be as humble as possible.

Xing Yong crossed the Zhang River and headed south all the way.

Two days later, he entered Neihuang County and was intercepted by scouting rangers.

Seeing that Xing Yong has only one car, including the driver, there are only three people, and they have no weapons. Wandering did not embarrass them.After inquiring about the purpose of his visit, he learned that he was here to see him, so he was escorted by two young knights.

Xing Yong saw that the two knights had fair skin, yellow beard and hair, and their appearance was very different from that of the Central Plains people, so he suspected that they were not Han Chinese.But listening to them speak, they have a pure accent, and their diction is quite elegant, not at all like the naturalized Xianbei, which is not surprising.

After a long time of patience, when he heard two knights discussing what is a gentleman and what is a villain, he couldn't help asking.

The two young knights glanced at each other, somewhat proudly.

"Can't you hear our accent?"

"I have traveled to Youbeiping for several years, and I have met many Xianbei people. They speak differently from you."

"Strictly speaking, we are not Xianbei people now." A young knight shook his horsewhip and smiled triumphantly: "We are all Han Chinese, just like you, but not Han, but Xianbei."

"Xianbei... clan?"

"Well, just like your Han people, the Xianbei people are also descendants of Yan and Huang. It's just that because they have lived in the north for a long time, their appearance is a little different."

Xing Yong wanted to speak but stopped.

He disagrees with this view.Regardless of whether the Xianbei people are descendants of Yanhuang or not, the Xianbei people are not Han people after all, but Hu people.Non-my family, its heart must be different.The emperor attaches so much importance to the Hu family, but kills the gentry in the Central Plains, which is definitely not what a holy king should do.

This is even worse than Qin destroying the six kingdoms.

Xing Yong lost interest in talking, kept silent until he was ready, and signed up for a meeting.

After half an hour, a person came out in a hurry, opened his arms from a distance, and laughed loudly.

"Xing Ziang, why did you come here?"

Xing Yong took a closer look and was also greatly surprised.He lived in seclusion in You Beiping, and after parting with Tian Chou a few years ago, he never heard from Tian Chou again, and never expected to meet him in Zai Xing Zai.

"Brother Zitai, why do you..."

"It's a long story, and follow me into the camp and tell it slowly." Tian Chou said, pulling Xing Yong into it.He had great strength and big steps, which made Xing Yong stagger and almost fall down.

Xing Yong quickened his pace to keep up with Tian Chou, while looking at Tian Chou.

He felt that the Tian Chou in front of him was a little strange, and it was different from the Tian Chou in his memory.

Tian Chou felt Xing Yong's doubts, but did not explain, and pulled Xing Yong all the way forward.

On both sides of the road, there are guards holding spears, their bodies are straight and motionless.In the tents on both sides, there were vague figures, and the sound of reading could be heard from time to time.On the grass between the tents, soldiers practicing martial arts can be seen everywhere, some practicing by themselves, some practicing in pairs, or one person instructing the other.

Many of them, like the knight Xing Yong met just now, have the appearance of a barbarian, but their speech is very elegant, and it can be seen that they have read books.

"How many... how many Hu tribe soldiers are there?"

Tian Chou looked around. "It's not too many, about [-]% or so. There are more soldiers from the Central Plains in the Forbidden Army, followed by soldiers from the Bingliang border area. The number of real Hu people is limited."

Xing Yong frowned. "Twenty percent less? Back then, the Wuhuan cavalry under Gongsun Zan's command..."

Tian Chou interrupted Xing Yong unceremoniously. "Gongsun Zan, how can you compare with the emperor? He is not even worthy of being a loose rider in front of the emperor."

Xing Yong was a little embarrassed, he forgot that Tian Chou and Gongsun Zan were sworn enemies.But then he realized that Tian Chou's respect for the emperor seemed a little too much.

Although Gongsun Zan had a bad reputation, he was after all a well-known White Horse General in northern Xinjiang.

"The Son of Heaven...is he really the Lord of England?"

"Naturally." Tian Chou waved his hand. "Hearing is false, but seeing is true. You will know when the time comes. But the emperor is busy now, so he may not have time to see you. You follow me to rest in the tent first, and we catch up. Oh, yes, I Someone has informed Liu Gongheng that when he returns to the camp, it will be like coming to drink with you."

Xing Yong was taken aback. "Liu Gongheng is also in the camp?"

"He is the right inspector of scattered cavalry. He is in charge of the training of scattered cavalry and armored cavalry on weekdays. He is very busy."

Xing Yong was confused and felt like a countryman.

"What is the official position of the right governor? What are Sanqi and Jiaqi?"

Tian Chou was slightly startled, and couldn't help laughing out loud.He patted Xing Yong on the shoulder. "Zi Ang, you have lived in seclusion for too long. You don't look like a Confucian scholar, but a Taoist priest."

"Bang has the way, Gu. Bang has no way, hidden. What's wrong?"

"Then tell me, is it right or wrong now?" Tian Chou led Xing Yong into his tent, went out to get water, let Xing Yong wash up, while he was busy making tea, took out some snacks, and put them on the table superior.

Seeing that Tian Chou did everything himself, without even a waiter, Xing Yong couldn't help being curious.

He came from Hejian in a hurry, and brought a coachman and a waiter. Tian Chou was an official beside the emperor, so why didn't he even have a waiter?

"Zitai, you are now..."

"Yi Lang." Tian Chou guessed what Xing Yong wanted to say, and said calmly: "There was a waiter, who was sent to the martial arts hall by me, and went to Bohai Sea a month ago. I am fine, and my daily food and daily life are very convenient. There is no need to be waited on by anyone. The laundry can also be sent to the baggage camp for free.”

"Is everyone like this?" Xing Yong pointed outside.

"It's all like this. Even the emperor doesn't have a dedicated attendant around him. His daily life is in charge of Ma Guiren. You may know that the emperor reduced the size of the harem and did not use eunuchs. Ziang, do you think this is right or wrong? ?”

Xing Yong was a little embarrassed and avoided talking about it. "All the clothes of the thousands of soldiers in the camp are washed by the baggage camp? How many officials and servants are there?"

"Official slaves?" Tian Chou was startled, then laughed. "There are hundreds of laundry slaves, but they are not human, but wooden. Driven by water power, one person can do the work of ten."
