Hanbo

Chapter 211

After Huo Shan came out of the mansion, he went directly to the North Army camp on the east side of Chang'an City.

When he arrived at the camp, the Eighth School of the Northern Army and Xu Ziwei had been waiting at the gate of the camp for a long time.

"The last general waited to see Da Sima and Habayashi the Great General."

"Ah."

Huo Shan nodded lightly and got off his horse.

This is the camp of the lieutenant's department at center base, which can also be regarded as the headquarters of the Northern Army.

As for why their location is here, it is still because of historical evolution.

The Northern Army was originally the guard force of Changle Palace, so it was located in the east and north of Chang'an City.

The Southern Army was originally responsible for guarding the Weiyang Palace, so their camp was in the southwest of Chang'an City.

And because the two armies were located in the north and south for two years, they were subsequently called the north and south armies.

At this time, the Southern Army was already dead in name only, while the Northern Army was becoming more and more prosperous.

The camps of the eight schools of the Northern Army are not all together. This is the camp of the Northern Army's middle base school lieutenant.

The middle base order was originally a subordinate officer of the lieutenant, but Liu Che promoted him to the position of lieutenant, and the lieutenant of middle base is the head of the eight schools, so this is their headquarters.

The middle base camp is here, in charge of the base gate, and the east and north suburbs of Chang'an.

The infantry is in charge of the gate of Shanglin Garden, the entry and exit of Shanglin Garden, and the suburbs in the southwest.

As for the Changshui Xiaowei Department that controls Xuanqu Huqi, and the Huqi Xiaowei Department that controls Chiyang Huqi, their camps are in the northwest of Chang'an City.

They are in charge of the suburbs in the northwest of Chang'an.

As for the remaining four schools of Yueqi, Tunqi, Shesheng, and Chebing, their camps are all in Shanglinyuan, distributed around Chang'an, and guarding the capital.

Today, the eight school lieutenants gathered together because Xu Ziwei notified them, otherwise they would all be scattered all over the place.

.........

Huo Shan wasn't interested in talking to them either, so he ordered directly:

"The four divisions Yueqi, Huqi, Changshui, and Shesheng assembled, obeyed Captain Huben's dispatch, went to Shanglinyuan to collect weapons and armor, and then went to the vacant Yulin camp to get familiar with it."

The fourth lieutenant who called out his name showed joy, and just as he was about to respond, the lieutenant of middle base suddenly showed embarrassment and said:
"Grand Sima, General Habayashi, I have not received the transfer order, please forgive me for not being able to release at the end."

Huo Shan nodded, as he should, so he took the Snake Slaying Sword from Sun Shang and said:

"The snake-slaying sword is here, just do the work."

Huo Shan originally thought that he would let him go when he saw the Snake Sword, but he still cupped his hands and continued:
"The final general has not received an order, and the Snake Sword is not known to be true or false. Please forgive the final general for not being able to release it."

Huo Shan narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong:

"Although you haven't seen the Snake-Slaying Sword, you have seen the album. I'm a man of six hundred stone and above. I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know him."

The middle base lieutenant still clapped his hands:
"The end will not know the truth."

Huo Shan looked at him, he was sure that this person was here to trouble him.

Although 90.00% of the big man and nine of the two thousand stones have never seen the Snake Sword, they must all know it.

Moreover, it was Huo Shan who was holding the Snake Slaying Sword, and Hu Ben, the Son of Heaven's own army and guards beside him, it was impossible for anyone to doubt it.

Huo Shan looked back at Xiao Lizi, and Xiao Lizi immediately approached Huo Shan and spoke in Huo Shan's ear.

After Huo Shan heard this, he glanced at the middle base lieutenant in surprise. He didn't expect that this person belonged to the Weihuo Group.

Logically speaking, not to mention those from other places, but there was not a single general around Chang'an that Huo Shan didn't know.

But that was the former Northern Army. The Northern Army had just been reformed, and part of its personnel had been changed, so Huo Shan really had a few people he didn't know.

The Weihuo Group is huge and has a large number of personnel, which are distributed in every corner of Dahan. Wei Qing did not tell him the specific personnel.

Because it's not necessary, he just needs to know which direct descendants can't have any accidents.

And who is Wei Huo's direct descendant?

That is naturally the Wei and Huo families, and their generals, such as Zhao Ponu, Lu Bode, Gongsun Ao and others.

As for the others, in terms of the special circumstances of the Wei and Huo family's geniuses, other people really don't matter.

Without you Zhang San, naturally Li Si will come over and let me order.

And in his capacity, who would dare not listen to his orders?

Moreover, this person was transferred from another place. Seeing that he was capable, Wei Qing put him in this position. Naturally, Liu Che was fine.

Don't doubt it, it's that simple.

So Huo Shan didn't know such a two thousand stone official of the Weihuo Group.

Two thousand stones are high-ranking officials, high-level figures of the big man, but to Huo Shan and the others, they are nothing.

As for him targeting Huo Shan, it was because he had a cousin who was beheaded by Huo Shan yesterday, the kind who kisses a cousin.

But no matter what, Huo Shan is justified in this matter, but you, the middle base lieutenant, can't be justified.

Your cousin committed a crime and was hacked, that's his own fault, no wonder Huo Shan.

And if you make a trip, it is your fault.

As a person promoted by Wei Huo, your operation is considered to be an act of betrayal by picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl to scold your mother.

But from an official point of view, his matter was really correct, because Huo Shan did not bring a transfer order.

With the Snake Slaying Sword in your hand, you can slay whoever you think you can.

And Huo Shan held the Snake Slaying Sword. As the Great Sima and General, he was able to mobilize troops.

But strictly speaking, without a transfer order, it is still not in compliance with the rules.

and so……

"Xiao Lizi, you ride Li Yu into the palace to ask for the imperial edict. Please ask for a few more copies, just thirty copies. Just stamp it with the seal. I will fill it out myself when I come."

"promise."

The lieutenant of Zhongba turned pale when he heard this, and had a clear understanding of Huo Shan's arrogance and strength.

For a blank edict, Huo Shan can get this thing from Liu Che, what is the difference between him controlling the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and being the emperor himself?

Of course, Huo Shan's doing this was also Liu Che's own reason. In this war, Liu Che delegated all powers and didn't care about anything, and the deployment of troops required an edict.

But there will always be one or two disobedient ones, you can't prepare this edict, and you can't kill people easily, right?

The other seven lieutenants pulled away from Huo Shan the first time the center base rejected them, and even looked at him with disdain.

They were not familiar with the center base lieutenant, who had only been in office for a few months, and everyone despised him for this kind of betrayal.

After a while, Xiao Lizi ran over under the guard of two hundred tigers. When he came to Huo Shan, he took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Huo Shan.

Huo Shan opened it to have a look, there were five bundles of cloth inside, Huo Shan unpacked one bundle and counted it, exactly ten pieces, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"My uncle is quite generous. He asked for thirty copies and gave fifty."

Huo Tan picked up a copy, and then handed the box to Xiao Lizi:
"Put it away, it might be useful later."

This thing is only useful in this battle of the Western Regions, and Liu Che will definitely take it back after it is not used up.

Now I feel that I will be in the prime of my age, and when I get old and Huo Shan grows up, it will be impossible.

Sun Shang held the inkstone in his left hand and walked over with a pen in his right hand. Huo Shan took the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote the word "tune" on it.

Then he took the seals of Da Sima and General Habayashi handed over by Xiao Lizi, and the champion Hou Yin was dipped in the inkpad and printed on the order of Yutian, next to Shou Yongchang, and then asked Xiao Lizi to pass it over.

The middle base lieutenant took it and looked at it, Huo Shan stared at him and asked:
"What's the problem?"

Although the lieutenant of center base turned pale and sweated on his forehead, he knew that he had offended Huo Shan completely and there was no room for relaxation, so he gritted his teeth and said forcefully:

"Back to Da Sima and General Yubayashi, the imperial edict is available, although it is not written in detail, but it is okay, but there is still a lack of tiger charms."

The smile on Huo Shan's face disappeared, and he said:
"The Snake Slaying Sword in Benhou's hand is the Tiger Talisman."

"I only recognize the Tiger Talisman."

Huo Shan took a deep breath, smiled and said:
"That is to say, you don't recognize the Snake Sword?"

The lieutenant of center base didn't know how to answer for a while, Huo Shan waited for a while, and when he saw that he was silent, he ordered:

"Despise the Snake Slaying Sword, refuse to obey orders, and delay the battle opportunity. The three crimes will be punished together. The lieutenant of the middle base will be killed on the spot, and the family will be destroyed according to the law."

As soon as Huo Shan finished speaking, Sun Shang drew out the knife from his waist and charged forward, blood spattered on the spot.

The Snake Sword can't mobilize your soldiers, and can't cut off your head?

Huo Tan turned his head to look at Captain Qi who had not spoken from the beginning, and asked:
"Any questions?"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Execute now!"

"promise."

Huo Shan turned around and walked beside Li Yu, while complaining in his heart:
'Uncle and grandpa have bad eyesight, I don't know how he fell in love with this kind of idiot. '

He is indeed an idiot, Huo Shan never thought that there would still be people who would dare to provoke him at this stage.

If Huo Shan hadn't been afraid that someone would say he was domineering, he wouldn't have made it so complicated, and would have killed him as soon as he knew his identity.

This incident was just a small episode. After leaving the Northern Army, Huo Shan went directly to Shanglinyuan to have a look at the paper-making and printing workshop, and the red brick cement workshop.

The thing is naturally not developed, and it has only been three days.

But Huo Shan ran out of time, so after teaching them the technology of movable type printing, he returned to Chang'an directly and let them study it slowly.

After returning to Chang'an City, Huo Shan went directly to Gongsun He's mansion.

I came here because I wanted his help with something.

"Zihou met Uncle Gongsun and grandfather."

"Haha, why did Zihou know that the old man was lazy today and didn't go to work?"

Huo Shan found a place to sit down and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lizi told me that Uncle Gongsun's grandfather has been feeling unwell for the past few days, so he's recuperating at home, isn't it a big deal?"

Gongsun He waved his hand, looked at Huo Shan and sighed:
"It's just a little wind and cold, it's not a problem, it's not good when you get old!

I think that when I was young, when I charged into the battle, I didn't feel pain when the sharp knife cut across my chest. Now I have to recuperate for a few days with a little wind and cold.

Alas, the future will be dominated by you young people, we are already old. "

For some reason, Huo Shan felt that Gongsun He, who was very cheerful in the past, was a little depressed today, so he comforted him:
"We young people need you old people to guide us. The Huns are still alive, so how can uncle Gongsun be old?"

Speaking of the Xiongnu, Gongsun He immediately cheered up and became smiling.

For people of their generation, they have witnessed the transition from the Huns' coercion of the big men to the reversal of the situation. To them, destroying the Huns is an obsession.

"By the way, where's my kid?"

"Yesterday, I was exhausted all day, and I got drunk and passed out at the evening gathering. I didn't wake up when I set off in the morning. I guess I'm almost awake by now."

Gongsun He was not angry, but nodded with a smile. In his opinion, it is nothing for young people to drink, let alone drink in Champion Hou's Mansion.

"Okay, let's talk, why are you looking for this old man? Do you want a horse?"

After asking, without waiting for Huo Shan to speak, he guessed by himself:

"Hu Ben is the same as Habayashi. They use the best horses. Although the Northern Army's horses are not as good, they are not far behind. Why, do you want to change?"

Huo Tan smiled and shook his head:
"No, I went to Longxi to change the horses. There are several big stables over there. I am looking for Uncle Gongsun this time, and I want to ask Uncle Gongsun to do me a favor."

Gongsun He was a little curious:
"Oh? Why do you need my help as a champion?

With the Snake Slaying Sword in your hand, who would dare not listen to your edict! "

Huo Shan was a little embarrassed:

"Uncle Gongsun and grandpa are recuperating at home, did you know so soon?"

"A two-thousand-stone general, who is still the captain of the middle base, will be killed as soon as you say it. What a big deal, I'm afraid it has already spread throughout Chang'an."

Huo Shan pouted:
"He wants to die by himself, who is to blame?"

"Okay, let's get down to business, what exactly is it?"

"For this battle in the Western Regions, Zihou needs some craftsmen and foreigners, and Uncle Gongsun has many connections, so he needs your help."

Gongsun He frowned, then said:
"Craftsman, look for a general. You have a lot in your young mansion. Foreigners can find Dahonglu. If you go down with the edict, there will be no problem. What's the use of looking for me?"

Huo Shan nodded, agreeing with Gongsun He's statement, but continued:

"I have artisans in my Shaofu, and it will be no problem to transfer a batch of craftsmen, but foreigners are a bit troublesome.

Today's Dahonglu is no longer the original Daxingling. There are a bunch of mediocre people in it. I haven't even investigated the situation in the Western Regions. I look down on them.

So Zihou wanted to ask Uncle Gongsun and Grandpa to help Zihou find some sons of political strategists and famous masters.

They are hiding in the mountains and forests, I was going to take it slowly, but it's not half a month before they go on an expedition, so..."

This matter can only be entrusted to his own people, Huo Shan believes that others, but if the ones he finds are still mediocre, it will waste time for nothing.

As for Gongsun He, he is easy to make friends, and his best thing is actually his personal connections.

And he's going to be the prime minister next year, so first find something for the potential prime minister to practice.

"Okay, leave it to me."

With a wave of his hand, Gongsun He happily agreed.

In his opinion, this matter is very simple and easy, and with the title of Huo Shan, the champion, the matter is even simpler.

.........

After leaving Gongsun He's mansion, Huo Shan went back directly to the mansion and told the other people about the expedition.

The most excited one was Sima Qian, who was about to jump up for joy.

For the next few days, Huo Shan ran back and forth between the palace, the military camp, Changping Hou's Mansion, Gongsun He's Mansion, Shaofu, Da Sinong and his own mansion.

The whole person is busy without touching the ground.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the fourth day of September, everything was ready, and the person who should say goodbye had already said goodbye.

It should be sooner rather than later, so Huo Shan will set off tomorrow.

And that night, Huo Shan invited some people to a banquet to see him off!
