Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 415 Supervise the military horse farm, the war will start
The cold wind was howling, and the vast sky and earth were freezing, and flakes of snowflakes fell from the sky, like someone sprinkled salt, fluttering and falling on the neck of Linhe Hou, it was icy cold.

Marquis of Linhe, who was originally the Marquis of Che who guarded south of the Five Ridges, was conscripted into the Forbidden Army to conquer the Huns because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Nanman, and then made another contribution with Huo Qubing.

The imperial court established Shuofang County in Henan, and his feudal state in Lingnan was abolished. Liu Che granted him 1000 and [-] households, and changed it to Linhe County, Shuofang County. It occupies almost one-tenth of the population of Shuofang County.

Marquis Linhe tightened his thick coat, looked at the heavy snow and said, "Prefect Sang, will this heavy snow cause damage to the big man's war horses?
As you know, this military horse farm is about the war between the Han and the Huns, and the fate of the country.

To put it mildly, Your Majesty is paying attention to this place all the time. The future and destiny of you and me are all here. Whether you want to get promoted and get rich and go to Chang'an to be the Sangong Jiuqing, or stay in this desolate northern border Shuofang and face the Xiongnu every day. People, it's all about the horse farm.

It will be three years soon. Ben Hou went from Lingnan to Shuofang. The Hou country that he had managed for more than 30 years was abandoned in Lingnan. At such a high price, Ben Hou didn't want to fail at this last moment. "

Marquis Linhe's tone was a bit impolite.

The official system guarding the lieutenants and the county state are two systems. Generally speaking, there is no relationship of affiliation with each other. If the relationship is good or generally respect each other, if the relationship is poor, they will be hostile to each other and make small reports.

And to a certain extent, the county guard has more power than guarding the lieutenants. After all, guarding the lieutenants only has the influence of one county, and the county guard is a county.

However, Marquis of Linhe is an exception. Shuofang County is a border county that has just been established. Its military ranks first. The Marquis of Linhe commands the military of the whole county. Coupled with his status as a lieutenant, and the relationship with Chang'an City, Shuofang County is not just a mere Shuofang County guarding two thousand stones. can be compared.

But Sang Hongyang was not used to him, and immediately said passionately: "Your Majesty, the man who has been counted many times, the one who does not want anything to happen to the horse farm is me, because of the position of Shuofang County Guard.

My teachers, sponsors, and even the entire faction have spent countless resources. Everyone is waiting for me to make achievements, return to the capital, and fight for a place for the school.

What do you mean by saying that now? "

Sang Hongyang was born in Legalism, and he was not Qi Fa with many allies, so he was naturally excluded from the imperial court where Confucian scholars occupied the majority.

Marquis Linhe said with a calm expression when he heard the words: "I am too anxious, don't blame Prefect Sang."

Sang Hongyang was about to speak, when suddenly there was the sound of galloping horses, and the two of them looked closely, only to see a knight jump off the horse, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the prefect, there is a nobleman in Chang'an, who is at the county yamen wait."

Marquis Linhe and Sang Hongyang were startled when they heard the words. The nobleman came just two days after heavy snowfall. They didn't come for the horse farm. Sang Hongyang directly twisted his head off.

The two got on their horses immediately, and the Marquis of Linhe asked anxiously, "Do you know which nobleman it is?"

"Your Majesty, the nobleman is leading the Luo family's warriors and the imperial guards. They are the two superiors, Champion Marquis and Wushuang Marquis."

Marquis Linhe was dizzy when he heard the words, Champion Marquis and Wushuang Marquis turned out to be these two superiors, and they came hand in hand.

Although they can't be compared with the great general Wei Qing in terms of power, everyone knows that these two people are in the heart of the emperor, and it will be a matter of time before they become successful.

If these two came normally, the Marquis of Linhe would definitely make proper arrangements, but at this time...

He turned his head to look at Sang Hongyang and said, "Prefect Sang, it seems that we won't be able to wait until the spring of next year. Now I just hope that you can arrange it well enough."

Sang Hongyang frowned, not particularly worried, and said: "Don't be too anxious, Junhou. Before this heavy snowfall, I have prepared enough pastures to ensure that in the coming year, all the war horses will still be He is full of energy and will never delay the important affairs of the court.

As long as Wushuang Hou and Champion Hou don't intentionally provoke, it's fine. "

These words dissipated into the air along with the fierce cold wind, leaving only the sound of hurried hooves.

Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing sat quietly in the hall drinking tea, chatting about the tactics after the appearance of the Three Treasures of the Royal Horse, and also chatting about the plan to fight against the Xiongnu in the future.

Sang Hongyang and Marquis Linhe hurried back.

Of course the warriors and imperial guards will not stay in the heavy snow, but along the way, from time to time, you can see one or two warriors and guards wearing bright armor and swords, with cold eyes, even Sang Hong The sheep are a little nervous.

Entering the hall, I saw two young generals dressed in military uniforms. One was very handsome and handsome, and his gaze was full of wanton verticality and horizontality. .

Marquis Linhe and Sang Hongyang directly bowed deeply and said, "I pay homage to the two lords, the two lords Wan'an."

Luo Wuji pushed forward with both hands and saluted back: "Prefect Sang, Marquis of Linhe is well."

Huo Qubing was quite familiar with Marquis of Linhe, so he directly greeted him with a smile, "Marquis of Linhe, how have you been in Shuofang these few years?
I didn't see you coming to Chang'an to congratulate you the year before last. "

Seeing this, Sang Hongyang was a little envious. The friendship formed by these princes on the battlefield was beyond his comparability.

Marquis Linhe was surprised and said: "It's the fault of my subordinates. I was appointed by the emperor. I happened to be harassed by a small group of Hun tribes during my pilgrimage last year. I couldn't go to Chang'an to congratulate my majesty, and I couldn't congratulate my prince. "

Huo Qubing first smiled when he heard the words, and then asked abruptly: "The Marquis of Linhe only needs to know that he is entrusted with the emperor's order, but it is snowing heavily this day, and His Majesty is very concerned about the army horse farm in Henan.

Marquis Ben and Marquis Wushuang will deploy war horses from here to go out in the future, so come and see for yourself, would Marquis Linhe be willing to take the two of us to check my big man's war horses? "

The Marquis of Linhe heard the words suddenly, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the matter of war horses is more important than Mount Tai, and my subordinates will not dare to take it lightly. This is the governor of Sang County, who is in charge of horse affairs in this county."

Luo Wuji set his gaze on Sang Hongyang who was wearing a civil official uniform, and asked with cupped fists, "Dare to ask your name?"

Sang Hongyang made a bow and said, "Report to the Lord, my servant's surname is Sang, and his name is Hongyang. He is from Shandong."

He didn't report to his family when we met, but he was a student of Legalism.

Just from Sang Hongyang's failure to report to his family, Luo Wuji knew that he must be a student of the Legalist school.

But he doesn't care about this, he is a general, he doesn't care much about these academic matters, even if he succeeds to the position of Patriarch in the future, there will still be Luo's son who is good at academics to take charge of these for him.

Luo Wuji clasped his fists and said: "Prefect Sang is polite, it's not too late, please take the two of us to check."

Sang Hongyang took a deep breath and said, "Please, gentlemen."

Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing looked at each other, and stood up from their seats. Both of them were of extremely tall stature. Sang Hongyang even just reached the shoulders of the two, and the sense of oppression rose in an instant.

The two walked towards the outside of the hall, shouting loudly: "Reorganize the soldiers."

Almost instantly, warriors and court guards appeared in the various halls of the Sheriff's Mansion. Naturally, they did not wear the overly thick armor, and only wore light leather armor for half of their body. They had bows and crossbows on their backs and sharp knives in their hands. , Countless snowflakes almost fell on their shoulders within a few breaths, but no one made a sound.

Then Xi Lulu's voice came from outside the door, Luo Wuji said loudly: "Get on the horse and get ready to go."

More than 200 people all turned around and went out to ride on the horse. With the blessing of the three pieces of the horse, everyone can let go of their hands, and the legs don’t need to clamp the horse’s belly all the time, and there are many things that can be hung on the horse. There are quite a few, long weapons and short weapons, as well as bows and crossbows, everything that one expects to find.

It was the first time for Sang Hongyang and Marquis Linhe to see Ma Sanke, and the Han court did a good job of keeping it secret.

"Prefect Sang, please lead the way."

It wasn't until Luo Wuji's voice woke the two of them up, and they hurriedly rode forward and walked all the way to the grassland. Sang Hongyang introduced: "Your Majesty, the Army Horse Farm in Henan has been built for three years. Your Majesty allocated a huge sum of money. Open the door of convenience, up to now, there are more than 20 horses raised here, of which [-] can be used as war horses, if you give the ministers a period of time, the ministers are confident that there will be tens of thousands more."

One hundred thousand war horses!
Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing looked at each other, this number is quite a lot, according to one person with two horses, and one pack horse, this is already [-] cavalry.

This number is enough for two people to launch a war against the Xiongnu Youxian Royal Court!

While talking, the two finally arrived at the racecourse. In such a heavy snow day, there was no grass on the grassland. Naturally, the war horse did not know that it was still on the grassland. Especially in a snowy day, it was impossible to let it go outside.

Stables with thick thatch appeared in front of everyone. These stables are endless, row after row, and countless horses are in them. Above the mangers are slightly dry pastures and beans. It is already very good to eat these in the weather.

Luo Wuji went straight to the stable, carefully observed the shape of the horse, and then stroked the horse's hair and shiny flesh. He was very satisfied. A group of people rode horses, braving the snowstorm in the severe cold weather. A view of the stables one by one.

Seeing the end, Luo Wuji couldn't help but praised: "Prefect, raise these horses well, it will be of great use in the spring of next year, with this great achievement, you will become a great success.

Now that the position of chief minister in the court is vacant, I think you are very suitable for this position. A talented person like you should go to a higher position to benefit the world. "

Sang Hongyang was excited, but he grasped the key point keenly. The spring of next year will be of great use. The court will launch troops against the Huns next year?
No wonder he was so anxious to see the horses. If something went wrong and the great cause of the court was delayed, it would be a death sentence.

The heavy snow continues to fall, and after the violent snow, it will be a warm spring. Many people can't wait, and too many expectations are taking root.
