Soldiers come to the world

Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily: "This is after Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang last year, Xun Yu suggested that I should take over the post of Bie Jia. Later, the prime minister wrote to me asking if I would like to take over the post of Bie Jia or return to the court. Assuming the position of the chief minister of agriculture, but the humble ministers refused."

Liu Jing smiled and nodded, "Actually, I hope Mr. Xu will return to the imperial court and take up the post of chief minister."

Xu Jing was stunned, and after a while, he asked later, "Why did Zhou Mu say that?"

"Mr. Xu, don't think that I'm driving people away. On the contrary, Mr. Xu is my most important subordinate. I suggest that Mr. Xu return to the court. In fact, it is to realize a major plan of mine. In other words, I hope Mr. Xu As my representative, you will be permanently stationed in the imperial court."

Xu Jing nodded silently. He finally understood what Liu Jing meant. Liu Jing wanted to put himself in the court as his representative and eyes and ears.

Xu Jing has experienced too many twists and turns, he has become very realistic, it is not impossible to go to the court, but he needs to clarify his future status.

After all, he is 60 years old, and his official career is not long. It is very likely that his post in the court will be his final destination, so he needs Liu Jing to clarify his final status, which concerns his descendants.

Of course, Xu Jing would not say this kind of thing explicitly, Liu Jing should have brought it up, not him, but Liu Jing might not have realized it, so he could only hint.

After a moment of silence, Xu Jing said slowly: "I have reached my sixtieth year. Although I have the heart to serve the state shepherd, I am afraid that my heart will be too much and my strength will be insufficient. In the end, I will miss the state herd's important affairs. Please think twice."

Liu Jing heard Xu Jing's implication, that is, he is old and may not be able to do it for a few years. I hope I can give him an explanation. Liu Jing understood Xu Jing's meaning and smiled: "Xu Gong, please rest assured. My eyes are on the world, not Jing and Yi, I, Liu Jing, know very well about Xu Gong's achievements, and I will never wrong Xu Gong."

Xu Jing was overjoyed, and quickly bowed deeply, "The old minister is willing to do his best to serve the state shepherd!"

In the afternoon, Liu Jing finished his official duties and explained a few things to Yin Mo. Then he left the General's Mansion and headed for the barracks outside the northern city. It is the main business, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, with nearly 5 troops stationed.

This is the busiest time in the afternoon. The streets of Chengdu are bustling with pedestrians. Especially in Beishi, the largest city in Yizhou, there are many businessmen gathered here and there. There are groups of guests with bags and carts full of goods. There are many taverns and shops in this area, and there are shouts on both sides of the street one after another. It is also the most lively place in Chengdu.

Liu Jing was sitting in a large carriage, watching the situation on both sides of the street through the curtain of the carriage. At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion, raised the curtain of the carriage slightly, and saw three barbarians running out of a tavern. Everyone is wearing leather armor, bare arms, gold rings on their earlobes, braided hair, bows and arrows on their backs, and long knives on their waists, looking very fierce.

Chasing five or six bartenders behind them, holding kitchen knives and iron bars, pointing at the barbarians and yelling at them, soon, they were surrounded by onlookers, the three barbarians blushed and waved their arms excitedly , screaming loudly, I don't know what you are shouting?

At this time, the tavern manager ran out from the gate, covered his bleeding nose, and cursed angrily: "This is not a barbarian border. If you want to eat the overlord's meal, you are dreaming!"

He shouted to the people around him again: "Everyone judge, these three barbarians ordered a table of dishes, tasted a little of each, and then said that the dishes were not what they wanted, and they would leave without paying, what is the reason for that! "

The surrounding people made a noise and accused the three barbarians of saluting. One of the barbarians could speak Chinese and stammered: "Our rules, if you are not satisfied, you don't have to give money. If it is too bad, we are not satisfied!"

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing. This kind of rule probably won't work anywhere. At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers rushed over, and the tavern manager hurriedly stepped forward to complain. Walk!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed up, dragged the barbarians away, and the three barbarians looked at each other, and at the same time broke free from the soldiers' hands, turned around and ran away, the patrol soldiers chased after them, shouting loudly: "Stop!" !"

At this time, the three barbarians took down their bows and arrows, turned around and shot arrows while running. Unexpectedly, the arrow was shot in vain, and the three barbarians accelerated their speed, turning a corner and running away.

Liu Jing's guards were furious, and were about to urge their horses to chase after them, but Liu Jing stopped them, "Don't chase!"

Liu Jing looked at the patrolling soldiers getting up from the ground, limping, quite embarrassed, he was a little surprised that these barbarian soldiers' arrow skills were so accurate, at this time, a general rushed over with hundreds of soldiers, It was Wang Ping, who seemed to be an officer on duty. [

"Call General Wang up!"

A guard rushed over and found Wang Ping. Wang Ping happened to be on duty today. He heard that the patrolling soldiers had clashed with the barbarians. He disappeared, but unexpectedly met Zhou Mu.

Wang Ping felt a little nervous, and hurriedly walked to the carriage to salute, "See the State Shepherd for humble positions!"

Liu Jing raised the curtain of the car and asked with a smile, "Is General Wang on duty today to patrol the city?"

"It's the lowly position. The lowly level patrols are not effective, so that the barbarians make trouble. Please punish the state pastor!"

"I can see the process clearly, you and Guan, but I want to go to the small military camp in Nancheng, you take the brothers to follow me!"

"Yes! The humble post obeys."

Wang Ping ran back to gather the soldiers, and Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Turn around and go to the small military camp outside the southern city."

The carriage turned around slowly and drove towards the south city gate. Wang Ping rode behind the carriage, followed by more than [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry guards. go.

The small military camp, also called Fanying, is specially stationed for guard soldiers of ethnic minority leaders. It covers an area of ​​more than 2 acres and can accommodate about a thousand people. Next to the small military camp is the Chengdu South Camp, with nearly [-] troops.

This time Meng Huo came to Chengdu to plead guilty and brought a total of 400 barbarians. Liu Jing agreed that [-] of them entered the city, and the remaining [-] were stationed in a small barracks. The three barbarians who caused trouble were naturally one of the [-] barbarians who entered the city. .

Liu Jing didn't come to the small barracks to ask questions, such a small matter would not worry him, he was surprised by the three barbarian soldiers' arrow skills, wondered if the barbarian soldiers outside the city were also so sharp?

Of course, when the Han army attacked Bashu, some barbarian soldiers fought against each other and wiped out tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers. However, Liu Jing knew the reason very well. There are no rules in large-scale battles, and morale will easily collapse once you encounter a strong enemy.

The reason why Liu Jing suddenly became interested in barbarians was because he had an idea, and the appearance of barbarians happened at the right time.

In the small barracks, hundreds of barbarians are training in twos and threes, some are fighting each other, some are shooting arrows, and many soldiers are sitting on the ground, adjusting their bows and arrows. At this time, a large group of Han troops suddenly entered the barracks, and barbarians rushed He stopped what he was doing and stared at these uninvited guests in amazement.

At this time, the leader of the barbarian soldiers ran over, he was quite fluent in Chinese, he cupped his hands and said, "What's the matter?"

Wang Ping immediately stepped forward and said coldly: "There is Liuzhou Mu in the carriage, why don't you come up to see him?"

The leader of the barbarian soldiers turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "See Liuzhou Mu!"

Liu Jing got down from the carriage and said with a slight smile, "This general is exempt, I came here to see you."

"Thank you for the state pastoral relationship, but my king is in the city."

"Well, I'll meet your king tomorrow, and I'll come and see the soldiers today. What's the general's name?"

"My name is Guduo, and the official is the leader."

The leader of the army is equivalent to the school lieutenant of the Han army. He is already a high-ranking official in the barbarian army. Liu Jing nodded. I'll get to know you."

There are three branches of barbarians, who call themselves Shengman, Shuman, and Dongman. Zhu Bao, the prefect of Zangyi, is the leader of Shengman, who was wiped out in Berkshire. Meng Huo, the leader of Shuman, lives in Jianning County and Xinggu County. Dongman lived mainly in Jiaozhou.

Although the two barbarians live in different territories, Liu Jing massacred the barbarians in Berkshire, which reduced the number of barbarians by [-]%. Meng Huo took the opportunity to annex the barbarians, and the two barbarians merged into one The power expanded northward to Cang County, and this time Meng Huo came to pay homage to Liu Jing, largely because he hoped that Liu Jing would recognize his northward expansion of power.

Now that Liu Jing had made a request, Gu Duo immediately arranged for soldiers to perform. The barbarians lined up to shoot arrows. They were not cavalry, but shot arrows while running. Their archery skills were extremely precise, and they ran like the wind. Brave and imposing.

Liu Jing applauded lightly, and asked with a smile: "The 500 people you went north should be the guards of the barbarian king! They are brave men carefully selected from the army, is that so?"

Gu Duo shook his head, "I told Zhou Mu that barbarians make a living by hunting. Men learn to shoot arrows when they are six years old. After ten years old, they have to follow the team into the deep mountains to hunt. Every soldier is a warrior who can fight fierce beasts. It is a necessary skill, these soldiers were not selected for their bravery, but because they belonged to the barbarian kings."

"So that's the case. Then I don't know if the Baiyi people are also good at hunting?"

Gu Duo smiled and said: "Bai Yi is headed by women, mainly fishing and gathering. Although men also hunt, they are far inferior to us, because they will not starve to death if they cannot catch prey, so they will not work as hard as we do. We Call them Huayi men."

At this moment, a group of barbarians ran in from outside the gate. The leader was a black-faced man in his thirties, wearing iron armor, a red hero's cloak, a copper crown on his head, and two long spears. Long wild pheasant tail hair, this person is the barbarian king Meng Huo.

In fact, Meng Huo has half Han blood. His ancestor was a general of the Qin army in Zhao Tuo's army. His family has always been a strong man in Jianping County. Meng Huo's mother was the sister of Gao Ding, the king of the barbarians, and he married the daughter of the king of barbarians. After the death of King Shuman, he appointed Meng Huo as the new generation King Shuman.

Behind him, a beautiful and coquettish woman wearing a flower crown is his wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong. Meng Huo just heard that Liu Jing appeared in the military camp outside the city, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly brought his wife to meet him.

Meng Huo and his wife knelt down and bowed to Liu Jing, "Meng Huo, a barbarian, and his wife paid homage to Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said apologetically, "I should have met you in the main hall of the General's Mansion, not here. I neglected you two."

Meng Huo clasped his hands and said, "It should be us who went to visit the state shepherd, not the state shepherd who came to the barracks. This is our rudeness."

Liu Jing smiled, "Since that's the case, let's not be rude to each other. How about we sit down and talk when we meet?"

Mrs. Zhu Rong next to him has a very good impression of Liu Jing. She looks at this world-famous hero from the perspective of a woman. She is tall, heroic and brave, with a bright personality, and she is still so young. I am afraid this is what every woman wants. A husband-in-law who longs to marry, but it's a pity that she doesn't have this blessing.

With a good impression in her heart, Mrs. Zhu Rong also smiled coquettishly: "I like Zhou Mu's straightforwardness, Zhou Mu please!"

"Please!"

The three of them walked into the big tent. Meng Huo and his wife repeatedly asked Liu Jing to take the main seat. The two sat around Liu Jing's first seat. Hundreds of years, but because of Yong Kai's greed and cruelty, the incident of plundering and killing Berkshire last year happened. To be honest, I hate Yong Kai and Zhu Bao very much. They destroyed the harmony between barbarians and Han people. This time, I came to Chengdu to make a pilgrimage to the prefect, hoping to restore the former peace."

Liu Jing had a polite smile on his face. In fact, he knew very well that when Yong Kai led his army to the north, there was also a small part of Meng Huo's army in the team. Now Meng Huo doesn't admit it. He said it beautifully and gave Yong Kai all the responsibility and Zhu Bao et al.

But this is politics, everything must look forward, clinging to the hatred of the past will not lead to good results, Liu Jing also hopes that what Meng Huo said is sincere.

He smiled lightly and said: "The reason why the tragedy of ethnic vendetta happened, we can't look at the surface, we must see the deep-seated problems, why can we live in harmony for hundreds of years, but now we can't get along, what is the reason? Find the reason, Then solve the problem, this is the way to consolidate the foundation, what does the barbarian king think?"
