Soldiers come to the world

Meng Huo sighed, "General Wang is truly a brave general!"

He presented the saber to Liu Jing respectfully, "With such a strong general in Zhou Mu, why worry about the world's injustice?"

Although Meng Huo's words were full of flattery, Liu Jing was also willing to hear such respectful words. He took the saber and said with a smile: "Although it is a bet, the barbarian king is a guest from afar. How can I not express my heart?" .”

He took the reins of the Qingcong horse and handed it to Meng Huo, "I will treat this horse as a gift to the barbarian king!"

Meng Huo was overjoyed. There are no war horses in southern Xinjiang, only some animal power. He has always dreamed of getting a war horse. He thought he would lose the bet, but Liu Jing still gave him the BMW. Even he was grateful and saluted , "Meng Huo will always remember Zhou Mu's kindness in his heart!"

At this time, Mrs. Zhu Rong took off a string of pearl necklaces from her neck, and bowed to Liu Jing, "Thank you for the gift of Ma Zhien, Zhou Mu. This is a gift from me to Mrs. Zhou Mu. Please accept it!"

Meng Huo was secretly startled, this string of pearls was the barbarian's most precious treasure, and it was one of the identities of the barbarian king's wives in the past, and his wife actually dedicated it to Liu Jing.

He rushed to wink at his wife, but Mrs. Zhu Rong didn't realize it. Meng Huonai, since his wife had already donated it, Meng Huo couldn't say anything more, so he sighed secretly. It was a pity in his heart that his wife had put The Bright Moon Orb was sent out.

Liu Jing didn't realize the preciousness of this string of pearls, he only felt that it was very cold in the hand, and it felt very comfortable in the hot summer day. Seeing that Madam Zhu Rong was quite sincere, he smiled and accepted it, and asked Madam to return it to her tomorrow. gifts. [

Liu Jing looked at the time, then smiled at Meng Huo and said, "I still have to go to the barracks, we will have a formal meeting tomorrow, so I will take my leave first."

Meng Huo and his wife sent Liu Jing out of the barracks, watching Liu Jing's carriage go away, Meng Huo's face sank, he gave his wife a hard look, turned and walked towards the big tent.

Mrs. Zhu Rong entered the tent with him, and she also said angrily: "The bright moon orb is left by my mother. I have the right to dispose of it. It is my intention to dedicate it to the state shepherd's wife. Why are you angry at me?"

Meng Huo said with a sullen face, "I'm not angry about Mingyue Baozhu, but because he wants to recruit five thousand barbarians. I don't want to agree. Why do you embarrass me?"

Meng Huo had the opportunity to become the barbarian king because he married Mrs. Zhu Rong, which is a bit like a son-in-law. Therefore, among the barbarians, Mrs. Zhu Rong has a very high status. In the eyes of the barbarians, she is the real queen. It can be said that Meng Huo Huo is only a barbarian king in name, but Mrs. Zhu Rong is the real king, but outsiders don't know this, including Liu Jing.

It is also for this reason that Mrs. Zhu Rong has a great right to speak, she can directly express her opinion without her husband's consent, which is also the reason why Meng Huo was embarrassed just now.

Now that there are no outsiders in the tent, Mrs. Zhu Rong doesn't have to worry about her husband's face. It's good that Meng Huo didn't mention the barbarian soldiers. Are you thinking? You just want to keep your throne, but you don’t care about our barbarians. The barbarians have been impoverished for hundreds of years. Status, are you worthy of my father?"

Meng Huo softened when he saw his wife was angry, and sighed: "Because I know what Liu Jing is thinking. He wants to sinicize the barbarians and completely merge the barbarians into the territory of the Han people. I am thinking about the future of the barbarians. You But I don’t appreciate it, hey!”

Mrs. Zhu Rong also gradually calmed down, and she pondered for a while and said: "It's not that you don't know Liu Jing's method of slaughtering Shengman and Heiyi. He gave you the horse and proposed to improve the life of the barbarians. This is to win us over. If we don't know Qu, if you don’t agree to his request, I’m afraid we will end up in the same fate as Shengman. Besides, we came to Chengdu this time for a pilgrimage to expand our influence northward to Cang County. If you don’t make concessions, how can he agree? I think Why don't you give him this favor, and then you don't have to pledge the baby in Chengdu, isn't that good?"

Hearing what his wife said made sense, Meng Huo thought about it, but he dared not refuse. After a long while, he sighed, "All right! Tomorrow, we will use [-] barbarians as a condition in exchange for our power to go north. I hope that Liu Jing can make me the prefect of Zang Zang."

Liu Jing entered the city in a carriage. He asked his own soldiers to find Wang Ping. Wang Ping urged his horse to go forward. He cupped his hands in front of the carriage and said, "The state herdsman, my humble post is here!"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Let me see what the Warrior card looks like?"

Wang Ping took out the barbarian warrior card, handed it to Liu Jing, scratched his head again and said, "I heard that the barbarian has a total of five warrior cards, and this is one of them. Although I lost to me, I'm not a barbarian, so I still can't enjoy the warrior card." status."

Liu Jing looked at the warrior card, which was actually made of tortoise shell and carved with two dragon patterns, which was quite delicate, so he returned the warrior card to Wang Ping and said with a smile: "I plan to set up the Yamen Five Armies. Appoint you as one of the five gatekeepers to command five thousand barbarians, so that your warrior card will be useful."

The Yamen Army is Liu Jing's direct army, and the Yamen General is the leading general directly under him. Although his military position is not special, he is Liu Jing's confidant and has a bright future. Serve for the State Shepherd!" [

However, Wang Ping still felt slightly regretful that Zhou Mu actually asked him to command five thousand barbarians, which was a little bit against his wishes.

The establishment of the Yamen Army has always been the practice of the major princes. It is mainly to ensure the mobilization of emergency wars and protect the safety of the princes. Most of the troops have between [-] and [-] troops. Qianyamen army, Sun Quan has [-] troops directly under him.

Liu Jing has not set up a direct army so far, mainly because he firmly controls the military power, and there is no need to set up a direct army for the time being, but since the first Northern Expedition failed, Liu Jing began to consider this matter. According to the practice of ordinary princes, it is to use [-]% of the total army strength is set up directly under the army.

And now there are 20 Han troops, that is, [-] Yamen troops can be set up. According to Liu Jing's idea, five armies are set up, namely cavalry, heavy armored infantry, barbarian crossbowmen, heavy shield army and eagle strike army.

At the same time, five Yamen generals were appointed. The cavalry Yamen commander was Ma Dai, the heavy armored infantry was naturally led by Liu Hu, and the eagle strike army was led by Liu Zheng. Today he decided to use Wang Ping to command the barbarian crossbowmen. As the gatekeeper, he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

"State shepherd! Are you going to the barracks now?"

The question from the leader of the bodyguards, Li Qing, interrupted Liu Jing's train of thought. Li Qing knew his lord's habits very well. He never went to the barracks in the evening. He would either go to the general's mansion or return to his own mansion. Will be more concerned about the situation of the wife.

Sure enough, Liu Jing looked up at the sky, the western sky was covered with deep red clouds, he shook his head, "Don't go to the military camp today, let's go home!"

The carriage turned around and drove towards Liu Jing's mansion.

In Fengyi Pavilion, Liu Jing is sharing dinner with his family. Fengyi Pavilion is a que Pavilion, about three feet high, built by the water, located in the northwest of the lake, the cool breeze blowing from the lake makes the attic very cool. The sweltering heat has been swept away, and this is also the summer pavilion built by Liu Zhang to spend the midsummer with great pains, but it is a pity that the owner changed just after Yizhou was built.

A large area of ​​special plants was planted under the que, so that there was no mosquito harassment in Fengyi Pavilion, and a big trouble was removed. The pavilion is not big, with a radius of only two feet, and there are four maids standing around, and two nurses. The child's "nurse" mother.

Liu Jing likes the whole family to eat together. The table is surrounded by a small circle, and everyone sits next to each other. This is also the way small families eat together, called "gathering sitting", while large families "scattered sitting". It is required to sit alone at a single table, with each seat separated by one foot and spread out on all sides.

Sitting together is because there are not many ingredients, and it is impossible to have a portion for each person, so everyone gathers together to share a pot of food, which is the same as the way of eating in later generations, and sitting together in Liu Jing's family is to increase family ties , because the mansion is too big, each wife and concubine has an independent yard, and they don't communicate much at ordinary times. If they sit far away when eating, this kind of family relationship will really be alienated.

Therefore, Liu Jing chose to sit together in a small family, but the dishes were served for each person. Liu Jing sat in the main seat, and his wife Tao Zhan sat in the first place on the left. banquet.

The first one on the right is Sun Shangxiang's seat. Although she went back to Jiangdong to visit her relatives, the seat is still reserved. The second one on the right is the little Bao Niang, and the "nurse" sits behind their mother with her two children.

And Cai Shaoyu should not appear in the Fengyi Pavilion. It is the rule of Liu Jing's house that guests do not enter the pavilion, but Tao Zhan understands Liu Jing's thoughts, and specially adds a seat for Cai Shaoyu beside him, including the maid Everyone in the house knew it well, except Cai Shaoyu himself.

The dining table was quite lively. Liu Jing took out the pearl necklace Mrs. Zhu Rong gave to his wife, handed it to her with a smile and said, "This is a gift from the wife of the barbarian king. It seems quite cold. I will accept it for you."

Tao Zhan is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is well-informed and doesn't pay much attention to ordinary treasures, but she is attracted by this string of pearls. The pearls are rounded. There are [-] pieces in total, wrapped in hollow gold thread. She picked it up and looked carefully at the light, a little surprised: "Does the general know what this is?"

Liu Jing was also a little curious and said, "I thought it was a pearl produced in the water, but I found out that it is not. It was rounded by hand, and it has always been cold. It seems to be a rare thing."

Tao Zhan sighed softly, "I know that there is a rare and strange stone in Manjiang, called ** Stone Spirit, and the barbarians call it Moon Stone."

Cai Shaoyu next to him smiled and said, "I also know the stones. There are many caves with various shapes and strange things. The Bailong Cave in Nanjun is the one. I have been there. All kinds of stones are very beautiful."

Tao Zhan shook his head, sapphires are very common. The scorpion essence I am talking about is the essence that has been bred by scorpions for hundreds of thousands of years. Not every scorpion has it, about a hundred of them. Only one stone has a little bit of stone essence, the size is like a grain of rice, a steward of the Tao family bought a little bit at a high price in Manjiang, the size of a dozen soybeans, inlaid into a bracelet, and was presented by my grandfather to the old man of Jiangdong Wu Ren is Shangxiang's aunt. "

Liu Jing was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "It sounds very rare, but I think Mrs. Zhu Rong took it off and gave it to me without hesitation. I don't take it seriously."

Tao Zhan sighed, "This is the only string in the world. The barbarians call it the Bright Moon Orb. It has been worn by the barbarian king's wife for generations. It is a symbol of the king's wife and can be called their national treasure. She actually gave this treasure to the general. I really don’t know how much favor the general gave her.”
