Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start
Chapter 203 Longxi Great Victory
When Qin Yuanshi heard the news that Qin Hao was going to go out with the army, he almost fainted on the spot, and pulled Qin Fang to ask him to ask Emperor Wen to take back his life.
Qin Fang sighed and said: "At the beginning, Your Majesty saw that the world was initially settled. In order to stabilize the situation in the court, many generals and heroes in the court gave up their military power and gave them rewards. Now there are rebellions in various places, and no one in the court can use it. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not let Ling. No doubt leading the army, have you ever thought that if you play at this time, you will not only offend His Majesty, but also ruin your son's future!"
"However, what is the future compared with life? Hao'er is my only son!" Qin Yuanshi cried.
Qin Fang could only comfort in a soft voice: "With Haoer's aptitude, he will become a great weapon in the future. Why don't I worry about it? But the sacred order is hard to violate, not to mention this is also an opportunity for Haoer to enter the court."
Qin Yuan's crying was a little quieter, she also knew that it was related to the rise and fall of the family, so she couldn't help herself.
Qin Fang patted his wife on the back lightly, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, I will mobilize three hundred songs to protect Hao'er's safety this time when Hao'er is going on an expedition. .”
Having said that, Qin Yuanshi was still worried, and packed a lot of things for Qin Hao, leaving Qin Hao speechless. Is this going to a war or an outing?
There was no other way, Qin Hao had no choice but to bring Qin Yuanshi to the school grounds. At this time, any words of comfort would be better than letting her see his true combat power.
After seeing Qin Hao's superb riding and archery skills, Qin Yuanshi felt a little more at ease, but he still couldn't help nagging for a while, saying that swords and arrows have no eyes on the battlefield, so don't be brave.
Qin Hao naturally agreed, since Qin Yuan could not see the situation on the battlefield anyway.
On the day of the expedition, Emperor Wen came to see them off in person. The heroic appearance of Qin Hao and Ling Buyi in armor also attracted the admiration of many girls in the capital. The common people who came to see them off were also mixed on both sides of the street. The soldiers of Weiguo are the guardians of their stable life.
After experiencing the turmoil of the former emperor, the common people's heart is towards the new court, and this is what the people want.
"Let's go, let's go!"
With Ling Buyi's wave of his hand, the army lined up and pulled out of the city.
The straight-line distance from the capital Luoyang to Longxi is thousands of kilometers. According to the ancient marching speed, an average of 60 kilometers can be traveled in a day, and rivers and mountains must be crossed halfway. Just marching will take more than 20 days.
During this period of marching, Ling Buji also experienced the difficulty of leading troops. In the army, the strong are respected. If you help the old oily man, you will naturally not buy him.
Ling Buyi's method was simple and rude, and he set up a ring directly, and all those who were not convinced went to the ring to compete. After defeating more than a dozen strong men in the army, Ling Buyi gained a little prestige.
But this is far from enough. To be a general is not just about being brave. Only by commanding properly can more soldiers survive. Three or more big victories are enough.
Ling Buji was in charge of the daily marching and military discipline, while Qin Hao, a partial general, did the logistics work. Qin Hao had seen the food of the Han Dynasty before. Even the food of the nobles was hard to swallow. Let alone in the barracks.
After Qin Hao ate it once, he made up his mind to improve the army's food.
The staple food of the army is wheat, because it is cheap, but the taste of the steamed rice grains is really bad, so Qin Hao asked someone to grind the wheat into flour, and then steamed buns to eat. This stuff is not only filling, but also has an excellent taste.
After a few days of rapid marching, the soldiers felt somewhat resentful, but when they ate the delicious steamed buns, their exhaustion disappeared, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
For these soldiers, being full is one of the few joys they have. Now not only can they be full, but they can also eat well. Even a god would not change these days.
Ling Buyi was also very surprised when he saw the steamed buns, but what he was most concerned about was: "Are there enough military rations?"
Qin Hao said with a smile: "One catty of wheat can be ground to get 10 taels of flour, but steamed buns are more filling than wheat, and can also be mixed with some wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains, so the food consumption is less than usual."
In the Han Dynasty, a catty was 16 taels, and the flour yield was much lower than that of the later generations. The main reason was that the tools were not good enough, and the loss of graphite was higher than that of machine crushing. In addition, the wheat in the military ration did not shed its shell.
Of course, Qin Hao did not waste the husks from the sloughed wheat. He asked the Huotou army to raise some chickens and ducks. If he encountered mountains and rivers along the way, he would lead the Huotou army to fish and hunt to improve food for the army.
As a result, the Huotou army, who was the most unpopular in the army, received unprecedented courtesy, especially on the days when there was no extra meal every five days.
"Old Jia, what is stewed in this pot? It's so fragrant?"
"Yeah, I've smelled it all the way here, oh no, it's too fragrant, let's eat quickly."
Old Jia of the Huo Toujun cocked his legs tremblingly: "Hey, today Vice General Qin personally taught a new dish, pheasant stewed with mountain mushrooms, you guys are lucky, as Vice General Qin said, this is something that no nobles in the capital can eat. Good food."
The soldiers were almost drooling when they heard it, and urged.
"Old Jia talked so lively, but you're serving dinner, isn't that greedy for us?"
"That's right, you see we've been queuing for so long, let's have dinner quickly."
Old Jia of the fire-headed army pointed to the branch inserted in the sun: "It's not yet time, do you want me to be punished by the military? runs fast."
"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter.
Finally, as the shadow of the branches reached directly below, Lao Jia lifted the lid of the pot and waved a large spoon in his hand: "Let's serve!"
Immediately, a strong aroma filled the entire barracks, and the soldiers became agitated. If it weren't for the military law, they would have taken Lao Jia's soup away.
"Old Jia sees how stingy you are, if you give me another piece of meat, it won't be enough to satisfy your hunger."
Old Jia of the Huotou Army glared: "Don't be ignorant, you boy. There are 30,000 people in the army. If you have one more yuan, others will lose it. Besides, go out and ask, which soldier can eat meat every now and then, you boy Don’t be in the midst of blessings and not know your blessings.”
"That's right, old Jia, ignore him. You little bastard doesn't know what's good. I think it would be nice to have bark to eat when I was a soldier, and meat to eat. This is a life like a fairy."
Ling Buji was secretly amazed when he saw this scene. Originally, he was worried that such a long and hasty march would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hao could make the soldiers have no complaints just by improving the food, and even the cohesion of the army has been greatly improved.
Moreover, since Qin Hao took charge of the logistics, the chances of soldiers in the army getting sick have also decreased. What surprised Ling Buyi the most was that it was obviously just a few small measures, like everyone had to boil the water to drink. Urinating and defecating anywhere has such a miraculous effect.
Originally more than 20 days away, the army arrived in Longxi in only [-] days.
At this time, Longxi was already in chaos. Apart from the rebellion of the Qiang people, the local people in Longxi had been tough since ancient times, and some local wealthy families took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
In this regard, Ling Buyi has only one strategy, and that is - kill!
Qin Hao didn't object either. In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, and murder and arson will be recruited. If you blindly show kindness, it will easily make people feel that the court is weak. If you get benefits this time, you will continue to rebel next time.
Killing cannot solve all problems, but it can solve most of them.
Ling Buji was a little surprised by Qin Hao's approval. He originally thought that Qin Hao, who has always been tolerant, would come up with a lot of reason to persuade him, and he was even ready to refute him. He didn't expect Qin Hao to agree so easily. up.
Facing Ling Buyi's suspicious gaze, Qin Hao just said indifferently: "If killing one person can save ten people, why not kill him?"
The fighting power of the Qiang people is actually not too strong. Their advantage lies in their familiarity with the terrain. Seeing that the imperial army arrived early, the Qiang people who had been besieging Tianshui panicked and their formation was loosened.
Ling Buyi took the lead and led an army of [-] to cover and kill them, and just a single charge pierced through the Qiang army.
Qin Hao followed closely behind with three hundred pieces of the Qin family's trilogy, wielding the simple knife in his hand without any doubt, the governor of Tianshui County was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Who are these two young generals? They are so brave?"
The general guarding the city took the opportunity to say: "My lord, the morale of the Qiang people is weak now, but there are many people gathered, why don't we open the city gate and kill the generals, and join forces with these two little generals, and the siege of Tianshui can be solved!"
The governor of Tianshui County is also a sensible person. He deserves little credit for defending the city, but he deserves a lot of credit for defeating the invading enemy. The risk is worth taking.
"Okay, then I will beat the drums to cheer for the general on the tower!"
With the cooperation of the defending army, the Qiang people were attacked by the enemy, and the army of [-] Qiang people fell apart in an instant.
Ling Buyi seemed to be red-eyed, chasing and killing him for dozens of miles, and finally it was Qin Hao who reined in him and dragged him back.
The siege of Tianshui was solved, but what happened next was not simple. This time the Qiang people rebelled, and the local tyrants took advantage of the situation. In fact, the root cause was salt.
Longxi is an inland area, with no sea or saltwater lake, and the distance is far away, so the price of salt transported from other places is very expensive.
The Qiang people are poor and live by grazing and hunting. In addition, some profiteers maliciously increased the price. The Qiang people can only exchange two catties of coarse salt for a horse. Naturally, the Qiang people quit. So it intensified.
The governor of Tianshui was also very wronged by this: "General Ling and General Qin, the weather is hot now, and the loss of salt during transportation is extremely high. It's not that I want to increase the price. There is really no way."
As the prefect of Tianshui, acting as a herdsman on behalf of the emperor, there was a rebellion. Strictly speaking, he was responsible.
Qin Hao asked curiously: "Lord Li, I remember that there is a salt mine in Longxi. I have presented to His Majesty the method of making the salt into edible salt many years ago. Why does Longxi have to transport salt to other places?"
Li Junshou looked at Qin Hao with surprise on his face: "What General Qin said is true? Is it really possible to turn mineral salt into edible salt?"
"Of course it's true." Qin Hao realized after a little thought. The reason why Emperor Wen didn't promote this method was probably because of the central government's financial considerations. How can you fight wars and build a country if you have no money?
Li Junshou was overjoyed: "I will invite Your Majesty to open a salt mine in Longxi, and I also ask Lord Qin to give me some advice."
The reason for the rebellion in Longxi now is because of salt. Presumably, Emperor Wen would agree to develop salt mines in Longxi for the sake of the overall situation of Longxi. Qin Hao did not express his position, and everything will be discussed after the imperial edict of Emperor Wen.
Although the siege of Tianshui was lifted, there were still many remaining rebellions in Longxi. Ling Buyi and Qin Hao moved to more than ten counties and counties, and finally put out the rebellion completely.
After going through the flames of war, the army has gradually transformed into a strong army, and Qin Hao and Ling Buyi's prestige in the army has also been established.
"At first I thought that General Qin was just good at managing logistics, but I didn't expect to be so brave in fighting."
"Isn't it? The day before yesterday, the leader of the rebels in Xiangwu County clamored that no one in the court would send two little babies to the expedition. As a result, General Qin chopped him off his horse with a knife in his hand. Killing the general and capturing the flag is like picking something out of a bag."
Of course, what satisfied the soldiers most was that the two generals had clear rewards and punishments. The Han Dynasty inherited many systems from the Qin Dynasty, among which the military merit system was one of them. The reason why the soldiers were willing to work hard on the battlefield was to accumulate merit. Find a good background for yourself and your family.
Qin Hao and Ling Buyi kept a close eye on this. They didn't want to grab the credits of the subordinate generals, and they didn't allow the generals to snatch the credits of those low-level officers. Naturally, no one dared to claim the credits of others.
Soldiers go to the battlefield with their heads in their hands and are willing to sacrifice their lives for you only after they have gained something. Soldiers are not stupid. To them, any emperor or court is imaginary. Only when they are in their hands can they be real.
Just one month after Qin Hao and Ling Buyi quelled the rebellion in Longxi, Emperor Wen decreed to allow Longxi to develop salt mines, and set a strict price for edible salt.
The governor of Tianshui County invited Qin Hao to participate in the construction of the salt mine, and also listened to some of his suggestions. Soon the first batch of edible salt produced by the salt mine was on the market, and the price was half cheaper than before. The common people were naturally overjoyed. Once the goal is achieved, there will be no more rebellion.
After the rebellion was quelled, Qin Hao and Ling Buyi led the army back to the capital. The army was easily criticized if they were out for a long time.
Just when the army arrived in the capital, it happened that Cheng Shi also won the victory and returned to the court.
Cheng Shaoshang sat in the carriage and stretched out his hand to lift the corner of the curtain to peek at the lively street outside. When she was a child, her biggest wish was that her parents could take her away from the capital city. But after leaving, she dreamed about the scene of the capital city again. In fact, What she misses is not the capital, but that person.
Suddenly there was commotion on the street, and the people around were talking about it.
"Have you heard? The Longxi victory, the army is already ten miles outside the city."
"That's right, I didn't expect General Ling and General Qin to be so good at fighting at such a young age. They are really heroes."
Xiao Yuanyi was dressed in military uniform, rode to the side of Cheng Shaoshang's carriage, and knocked on the edge of the carriage.
Cheng Shaoshang put down the curtain of the car helplessly, and sat in the car in a muffled voice. After meeting her parents, it was not as beautiful as she imagined. Her father, Cheng Shi, doted on her and responded to her requests, but her mother, Xiao Yuanyi, always kept a straight face when she saw her. .
Cheng Shaoshang is no longer a child, he can't act like a baby to please his mother, the relationship between mother and daughter has always been delicate.
Outside the city, the eunuch sent by Emperor Wen came, and Ling Buji was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei as the commander in charge of suppressing chaos. In honor and disgrace.
As for the drama: Entering the court without becoming popular, worshiping without being famous, and walking on the sword to the palace, these things naturally do not exist, even if you think about it, you know it is impossible.
This is the standard configuration for a proper official. First of all, Emperor Wen treated Ling Buyi better than his own son. How could he make such a mistake?Isn't this putting Ling Buyi on the fire?
Secondly, as the emperor of Zhongxing, how could Emperor Wen have such a low IQ?It can only be said that the knowledge reserve of the screenwriter is really touching.
And Qin Hao's reward was not low, he was granted the title of Da Shu Zhang, one level lower than Guanneihou, but also [-]th rank of military merit, and his official position was Dianjun Zhonglang, and he was also rewarded with some land and treasures.
"Two generals, Your Majesty has hosted a banquet in the palace." The eunuch hadn't finished speaking.
Ling Buyi said to Qin Hao: "I still have important things to do, so I will take my leave first."
At least leave.
Qin Hao couldn't help shaking his head secretly,
But for all the generals who have made great achievements abroad, after returning to the court, which one doesn't behave like a man with his tail between his legs, for fear of being suspected by the emperor.
Sure enough, the loved one has nothing to fear. If Emperor Wen hadn't always felt guilty towards the Huo family, Ling Buyi would not have had enough heads to cut off.
Ling Buyi didn't have to lose face, but Qin Hao couldn't, so he obediently followed the eunuch to the palace.
Emperor Wen took Qin Hao to chat about some details of the expedition, and Qin Hao also picked up some interesting things to tell Emperor Wen.
After Emperor Wen laughed, he pointed at Qin Hao's nose and cursed: "You are a cunning boy. I also won the world on horseback back then. The army fought with a narrow escape. If it is as easy as you said, why fight?"
Qin Hao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Wen patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, and said with some emotion: "You and Zicheng grew up under my own eyes. I never thought that they could lead the army now, good, great."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise, I am ashamed to accept it."
Emperor Wen was very happy, raised his glass and said to Qin Fang: "Qin Aiqing has a good son, I will drink this cup with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Qin Fang raised his glass loudly and drank it down. As a father, how could he not be happy to see his son promising?
Soon, the banquet became lively. Qin Fang, Qin Hao and his son soon became the protagonists of the banquet, and were given a lot of alcohol.
Fortunately, the wine of the Han Dynasty still belongs to the category of rice wine, and the alcohol content is not high, so Qin Hao persevered.
Qin Fang didn't have such a good capacity for alcohol, and he was force-fed before long, and in the end it was Qin Hao who carried him out of the palace.
After returning home, Qin Yuanshi naturally couldn't avoid nagging, grabbed Qin Hao and looked at him again and again to confirm that he came back intact, and then let him go to rest.
Qin Hao returned to his yard and was just about to take a bath and rest when he heard a bell ringing in the corner of the wall, and a familiar face appeared on the top of the wall, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Qin Fang sighed and said: "At the beginning, Your Majesty saw that the world was initially settled. In order to stabilize the situation in the court, many generals and heroes in the court gave up their military power and gave them rewards. Now there are rebellions in various places, and no one in the court can use it. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not let Ling. No doubt leading the army, have you ever thought that if you play at this time, you will not only offend His Majesty, but also ruin your son's future!"
"However, what is the future compared with life? Hao'er is my only son!" Qin Yuanshi cried.
Qin Fang could only comfort in a soft voice: "With Haoer's aptitude, he will become a great weapon in the future. Why don't I worry about it? But the sacred order is hard to violate, not to mention this is also an opportunity for Haoer to enter the court."
Qin Yuan's crying was a little quieter, she also knew that it was related to the rise and fall of the family, so she couldn't help herself.
Qin Fang patted his wife on the back lightly, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, I will mobilize three hundred songs to protect Hao'er's safety this time when Hao'er is going on an expedition. .”
Having said that, Qin Yuanshi was still worried, and packed a lot of things for Qin Hao, leaving Qin Hao speechless. Is this going to a war or an outing?
There was no other way, Qin Hao had no choice but to bring Qin Yuanshi to the school grounds. At this time, any words of comfort would be better than letting her see his true combat power.
After seeing Qin Hao's superb riding and archery skills, Qin Yuanshi felt a little more at ease, but he still couldn't help nagging for a while, saying that swords and arrows have no eyes on the battlefield, so don't be brave.

Just one month after Qin Hao and Ling Buyi quelled the rebellion in Longxi, Emperor Wen decreed to allow Longxi to develop salt mines, and set a strict price for edible salt.
The governor of Tianshui County invited Qin Hao to participate in the construction of the salt mine, and also listened to some of his suggestions. Soon the first batch of edible salt produced by the salt mine was on the market, and the price was half cheaper than before. The common people were naturally overjoyed. Once the goal is achieved, there will be no more rebellion.
After the rebellion was quelled, Qin Hao and Ling Buyi led the army back to the capital. The army was easily criticized if they were out for a long time.
Just when the army arrived in the capital, it happened that Cheng Shi also won the victory and returned to the court.
Cheng Shaoshang sat in the carriage and stretched out his hand to lift the corner of the curtain to peek at the lively street outside. When she was a child, her biggest wish was that her parents could take her away from the capital city. But after leaving, she dreamed about the scene of the capital city again. In fact, What she misses is not the capital, but that person.
Suddenly there was commotion on the street, and the people around were talking about it.
"Have you heard? The Longxi victory, the army is already ten miles outside the city."
"That's right, I didn't expect General Ling and General Qin to be so good at fighting at such a young age. They are really heroes."
Xiao Yuanyi was dressed in military uniform, rode to the side of Cheng Shaoshang's carriage, and knocked on the edge of the carriage.
Cheng Shaoshang put down the curtain of the car helplessly, and sat in the car in a muffled voice. After meeting her parents, it was not as beautiful as she imagined. Her father, Cheng Shi, doted on her and responded to her requests, but her mother, Xiao Yuanyi, always kept a straight face when she saw her. .
Cheng Shaoshang is no longer a child, he can't act like a baby to please his mother, the relationship between mother and daughter has always been delicate.
Outside the city, the eunuch sent by Emperor Wen came, and Ling Buji was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei as the commander in charge of suppressing chaos. In honor and disgrace.
As for the drama: Entering the court without becoming popular, worshiping without being famous, and walking on the sword to the palace, these things naturally do not exist, even if you think about it, you know it is impossible.
This is the standard configuration for a proper official. First of all, Emperor Wen treated Ling Buyi better than his own son. How could he make such a mistake?Isn't this putting Ling Buyi on the fire?
Secondly, as the emperor of Zhongxing, how could Emperor Wen have such a low IQ?It can only be said that the knowledge reserve of the screenwriter is really touching.
And Qin Hao's reward was not low, he was granted the title of Da Shu Zhang, one level lower than Guanneihou, but also [-]th rank of military merit, and his official position was Dianjun Zhonglang, and he was also rewarded with some land and treasures.
"Two generals, Your Majesty has hosted a banquet in the palace." The eunuch hadn't finished speaking.
Ling Buyi said to Qin Hao: "I still have important things to do, so I will take my leave first."
At least leave.
Qin Hao couldn't help shaking his head secretly,
But for all the generals who have made great achievements abroad, after returning to the court, which one doesn't behave like a man with his tail between his legs, for fear of being suspected by the emperor.
Sure enough, the loved one has nothing to fear. If Emperor Wen hadn't always felt guilty towards the Huo family, Ling Buyi would not have had enough heads to cut off.
Ling Buyi didn't have to lose face, but Qin Hao couldn't, so he obediently followed the eunuch to the palace.
Emperor Wen took Qin Hao to chat about some details of the expedition, and Qin Hao also picked up some interesting things to tell Emperor Wen.
After Emperor Wen laughed, he pointed at Qin Hao's nose and cursed: "You are a cunning boy. I also won the world on horseback back then. The army fought with a narrow escape. If it is as easy as you said, why fight?"
Qin Hao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Wen patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, and said with some emotion: "You and Zicheng grew up under my own eyes. I never thought that they could lead the army now, good, great."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise, I am ashamed to accept it."
Emperor Wen was very happy, raised his glass and said to Qin Fang: "Qin Aiqing has a good son, I will drink this cup with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Qin Fang raised his glass loudly and drank it down. As a father, how could he not be happy to see his son promising?
Soon, the banquet became lively. Qin Fang, Qin Hao and his son soon became the protagonists of the banquet, and were given a lot of alcohol.
Fortunately, the wine of the Han Dynasty still belongs to the category of rice wine, and the alcohol content is not high, so Qin Hao persevered.
Qin Fang didn't have such a good capacity for alcohol, and he was force-fed before long, and in the end it was Qin Hao who carried him out of the palace.
After returning home, Qin Yuanshi naturally couldn't avoid nagging, grabbed Qin Hao and looked at him again and again to confirm that he came back intact, and then let him go to rest.
Qin Hao returned to his yard and was just about to take a bath and rest when he heard a bell ringing in the corner of the wall, and a familiar face appeared on the top of the wall, looking at him with a smile on his face.
