Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao did not leave the country for this western tour, and only patrolled all over the northwest of the Great Zhou territory, ending in Lingzhou (Yinchuan Plain). Prior to this, Wei Renpu and others had already sent officials to Lingzhou to arrange greets and liaise with the northwestern ministries.

At this time, Wei Renpu bid farewell to Guo Shao, left the brigade early, and personally went to Lingzhou to preside over everything.

The emperor's honor guard soldiers then slowly continued their northward journey. Shuai Zhedemei in the quiet army took a group of people to accompany him, accompanied by Guo Shao all the way, and became more and more familiar with each other in personal relationships.

Within two days, Qinzhou's majestic martial arts brought Wang Jing and his son to the army.

Guo Shao immediately met at the Chinese Army's Great Account.

Wang Jing was 72 years old. When Guo Shao saw him, he was stumbling and his physical strength was obviously not as good as when he met five years ago. There are also many gray and black age spots on his face, his cheeks are sunken in, and his eyes are a bit muddy.

"Wang Lao Jie Shuai is exempted from the ceremony." Guo Shao took the lead in avoiding his big gift, and then said, "Come on, give me a seat, and give Wang Lao Jie Shuai a softer cushion."

"The old minister thanks the emperor for kindness." Wang Jing clasped his fist and said, "Ting Xun, hurry up to see your majesty, and your majesty treats our Wang family generously."

A young man in uniform and armor hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtow, and shouted a long life. Guo Shao told him to be flat, and then praised: "The tiger father has no dogs."

In the battle of Qin Feng more than five years ago, in addition to fighting alongside Wang Jing, Guo Shao also met his eldest son. At that time, Wang Jing’s eldest son had gray hair.

But today Wang Jing rushed to face the saint, but he brought him not the eldest son, but the youngest son. Guo Shao thought that the old man still liked the younger son.

Wang Jing's family is also a Northwest warlord. Qinzhou is almost the westernmost part of the Dazhou map, so Wang Jing also has a dispatch called "Deployment in the west." However, Wang Jing can be regarded as a more reliable warlord, because he and Guo Shao once fought together to establish a friendship; when Guo Shao destroyed the Kingdom of Shu, Wang Jing also contributed the most in the North Road, and his troops were very hardworking.

In addition, Wang Jing is getting older, so Guo Shao's tone is very good and polite: "Wang Lao Jie is handsome and has a long life. You don't have to come here personally."

Wang Jing sighed: "Tokyo is too far away. The official family finally came to the northwest. This time the old minister asked someone to come over to see the official... The age is not forgiving. This time, perhaps it will be the last time the old minister sees the official. Home."

When Guo Shao heard this, his heart was suddenly sour.

His voice is also a little different: "Wang Jieshuai takes care of his body..."

The surrounding civil servants heard the emperor's voice, and their expressions were also sad.

Wang Jing smiled and said, "No one can avoid life, old age, sickness and death. There is always a banquet in the world, and the old ministers have the opportunity to say goodbye to the officials early..."

His smile is complicated, a little sad and a little helpless. He added: "It's just a little regretful that the old ministers have been running around all his life, and he didn't do anything famous. Now that the officials want to make great achievements, the old ministers can't keep up."

Guo Shao felt more sad when he heard this. Suddenly sad, defenseless, he didn't dare to speak out... Guo Shao felt that he was in vain as a martial artist, and sometimes his heart was really hard.

Wang Jing said he turned his head and looked at his little son.

Guo Shao looked at his eyes and understood what Wang Jing meant. In fact, the biggest purpose of Wang Jing's trip was to entrust future generations to the emperor and let Guo Shao take care of it in the future.

In front of everyone, Guo Shao is the emperor. He feels that what he holds in his hand is actually public power and cannot be too selfish. He didn't say clearly, but only said: "I will always remember the merits of Wang Lao Jie Shuai to the country."

After he said this, he turned his eyes to Wang Tingxun and asked what martial arts Wang Ting trained and what military books he had read. The questions were very detailed. Wang Tingxun replied fluently and spoke clearly, and asked Guo Shao to nod frequently.

Wang Jing did not say clearly, nor did Guo Shao mention it. But everything is in the gossip at home.

Wang Jing's old face also showed relief.

After speaking for a while, Guo Shao smiled again: "I am going to Lingzhou on this trip and let Wang Tingxun follow me all the way."

Wang Jing said happily: "It is the blessing of Ting Xun to be able to lead the horse and whip for the officials, and to follow the leaders of the officials." Wang Tingxun knelt down again, kowtow in gratitude.

Guo Shao quickly called him up.

...Wang Tingxun drove northward, and soon, some people asked to drive along.

Jiedu from the five towns of Fengxiang Army, Zhangyi Army, Tongyuan Army, Zhangwu Army, and Baoda Army brought their guards to the camp to meet them, asking them to serve as the emperor's guard for the Western Tour.

These people are all northwestern Jiezhen, which was a military preparation deployed by the Great Zhou in the depths near the national border. Compared with the Jiedushi ambassadors that have been cut by most of the power in the mainland, these Jiezhen are people with a little real strength. The power is also compared on their respective turf.

Guo Shaozhun accompanied them, getting along day and night along the way, and gradually became familiar with them. Guo Shao is a better person to get along with at this time, because many of the ancients cared about the details of etiquette, he did not care, and he was easier to talk; in addition, he also spent more than ten years in the army, talking about things in the army, and the generals. Very talkative.

The monarch and his subjects get along very happily, and the journey is not so boring.

At this time, the system and rules are not very detailed. The generals and Guo Shao can establish personal relations to increase trust...It is like the relatives who move around frequently, and the relatives who don't move often have a completely different relationship.

...

Before the Western Tour started, Wei Renpu and Lu Duoxun had arranged many envoys to find local guides in Shuofang and tried to contact the tribes. Including the Ganzhou Uighur, Achai tribes, Tubo Tusima tribes, and the West Dangxiang tribes; there are also the Cao family of the Guiyi army, and the tribes of the Western Regions.

Of course, the Li family, the most powerful party in this area, will not be left behind.

It is not easy for the envoys of the Privy Council to go to Xiazhou. Except for the pastures in the middle of Xiazhou and the pastures in the north, the terrain along the way is many ravines and it is easy to get lost.

Fortunately, the government system in the Dingnan Army (Xiazhou) was relatively complete. The envoy and his party were quickly received and escorted to the center of the Dingnan Army in Xiazhou... The Zhou Dynasty never appointed officials in Xiazhou. These officials and officials were appointed by them themselves; it is no wonder that some people in the dynasty talked about Xiazhou and said, "Although it is not called the country, it is because of the king."

The messenger was worried that he recorded the accidents he encountered and made the Ding Nan army jealous, so he took the things he saw along the way into his eyes and mind. Ludoxen got the map of the west and went back, and it was reused. The messengers understood that, so he was very careful when doing errands.

All parts of the army are completely incomparable compared to the beautiful inland cities with pavilions, terraces and pavilions. At first glance, they are rough and poor. The houses are very low and are all earthen houses. Some are like earthen caves, while others are Animal fur covers the roof, looking like patches of torn clothes; there are only a few tile-roofed houses, and the accompanying party members say that those who live in tiled houses have identities and can't afford it.

However, as long as you pay attention, the party members in the Xiazhou area are relatively rich, with less luxury goods, but the living expenses such as livestock, food, iron tools, salt, etc. are not lacking, and they are much more substantial than in some inland areas where disasters occur.

Some party members have haircuts, and some have their hair tied like mainlanders, and their clothes are shorter and narrower. Although they look obviously different from the customs of the Central Plains, they are not different to the point. You can find styles such as hand collars and farm tools. Traces of the Central Plains...According to the book, after Dangxiang was Sanmiao, he had a long time with the Han people, and the customs were still influenced by the Han family.

The messenger also felt that these people were obviously not as submissive as the people of the Central Plains, and there was almost no etiquette, and they were more wild and aggressive.

However, the man who led the messenger was named Chi Lingzhe, but he was a cheerful and kind person. He can speak Chinese, is very talkative, and talks endlessly along the way. The messenger sometimes feels noisy, but he has also learned from him that many party members are taboo and they are very helpful.

Of course, most of the time, it is nonsense, and the messenger can only act like an enthusiastic person. Here, he is not familiar with the place where he lives.

Chi Ling was eloquent, talking about the legend of the mountain for a while, and the messenger was not interested, and then about the woman...The messenger said in his heart: Lao Tzu came to Xiazhou, not for barbarians.

"...Her hair is jet-black, her clothes look like sunset clouds, and her skin is like satin. Hey, if the messenger talks about her with someone in Xiazhou, she will definitely be able to talk about her together." Chi Ling said with a flushed face.

The last sentence aroused the interest of the messenger, thinking that sometimes it is not good to find a topic with party members. He immediately asked, "I'm really sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, who are you talking about?"

Chi Ling was a little unhappy at once, but he was indeed a hearty person, and soon he was relieved: "Maybe my accent is not easy to understand?"

The messenger laughed.

Chi Ling said: "The daughter of the king (the emissary of the difficult festival, Li Yiyin, the king of Xiping), haven't you heard of it?"

The messenger said in his heart: Laozi came to Xiazhou for the first time, where did I know?

The messenger said: "I'm ignorant, let Brother Chi Ling laugh."

Chi Ling was a little disappointed and said: "A person like a fairy, the UU reader www.uukanshu.com Zhongyuan has never heard of it?"

messenger:"……"

Chi Ling said, "Then you wait a lot on Xiazhou Ranch. If you look at it, you will understand what I said. Alas, my mouth is stupid, I can't tell you."

The messenger said in his heart: Fuck, you can still speak so stupidly, what if you are not stupid?

The messenger said: "I have official duties in the next place. When I arrive in Xiazhou, I have to report to the Chi Ling brothers to report to the army and military office of the army and let King Xiping meet him. If this happens, I will be grateful."

Chi Ling smiled and said, "Central Plains people are rigid."

At this time, the messenger heard a blast of singing on the hillside, and when he looked up, he saw a flock of sheep running down on the hillside, but he did not see the singing Erlang. The messenger couldn't understand the lyrics, but from the melody, he heard the feeling of love and affection.

The messenger was a little touched, but thought of the ballads of the slender lady in the Book of Songs. Thinking of the mission with an uncertain future, a feeling of homesickness came to my heart.
