Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1129: The farewell between Han and Wu

  Chapter 1129 Han Wu farewell

  The sun was westward, and after the horses had let the wind out, the Tiger Cavalry Army began to sound the horn to return to camp.

  Considering the trainee cavalry pawns from Wu State, some of them may be unfamiliar with the place or not acclimatized to the environment.

  So the Tiger Cavalry Army deliberately set aside a separate camp for them to stay together, so that they can take care of each other.

   After everyone returned to the camp, someone went directly to the handsome tent of the camp:

   "General, Zhu Xiong asks to see you!"

"Come in."

  Zhu Xiong is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old gentleman, with a youthful drive between his brows—or a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

   "Meet the General..."

   Zhu Ju, who was holding the book and was fascinated by it, didn't lift his head, just hummed, and then asked:

   "What is it?"

  Seeing Zhu Ju's appearance, Zhu Xiong finally couldn't help raising his voice: "My lord!"

  Zhu Xiong is the eldest son of Zhu Ju, in this camp where there are no outsiders, he no longer deceives himself and others to cover up this relationship.

  Zhu Ju then raised his head, looked at Zhu Xiong, and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

  Seeing Zhu Ju's majestic gaze, Zhu Xiong subconsciously felt a little apprehensive, but thinking about what he had encountered these days, he summoned up his courage again:

   "My lord, I have something to say, so I can't vomit it quickly."

  Zhu Ju seemed to have expected it a long time ago: "Is it about military training?"

   "Exactly!" After the words had been spoken, Zhu Xiong made up his mind, "Doesn't your lord think that there is something wrong with our current training?"

"what is the problem?"

   "Those Han people didn't really teach us the art of cavalry at all!"

  Zhu Xiong said loudly: "They simply treat us as grooms!"

   "Shut up!" Zhu Ju shouted, "Have you ever seen a groom in the army who needs to practice every day?"

   "My lord, you also know that we need to practice every day, which is something only soldiers do. The Han people not only regard us as grooms, but also as soldiers!"

   "We didn't come here to be soldiers, we came here to learn how to lead the cavalry to fight the enemy!"

  As a son of a wealthy family in Wu County, the adult is General Zuo, and his aunt is a princess, how could Zhu Xiong demean himself and be compared with ordinary soldiers in the army?

  What he yearns for is a character like the governor of Zhou (that is, Zhou Yu), with a feather fan and scarf, elegant and elegant, talking and laughing, and a powerful enemy will be destroyed with a snap of his fingers.

   "But here, you are no match for ordinary soldiers!"

  Zhu Ju interrupted his son's words unceremoniously, "Don't talk about the Tiger Cavalry Army, even if you put it in the Northern and Southern Army, you are also inferior to others!"

  The Northern and Southern Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army are both the most important guard forces in Chang'an, and both are cavalry troops. Zhu Ju, as a special envoy, has also entered and exited the barracks of the Northern and Southern Army several times.

  He knew that the cavalry army of the Han Dynasty was powerful, far exceeding the imagination of the king and ministers of the state of Wu.

   It is precisely because of this that he is a little angry at his son's ambitious ideas.

   "If you want to lead an army to defeat the enemy, you must first know everything in the army. You have been here for so long, do you know how much forage and beans a horse needs to eat a day?"

   "Do you know the length of the halberd used by the armored cavalry? Do you know how much the armored horse armor weighs? What is the distance between the two horses when the iron cavalry charges?"

   "Do you know how much food each armored cavalry needs to consume in a month?"

   "If you are asked to lead the army and go with the army, how much food and grass do you need to prepare? How to keep the horses strong during the march?"

   "The purpose of letting you be grooms and soldiers is to let you know the most basic knowledge of the armored cavalry army. If you don't even know these things, how can you lead the army?"

  Zhu Ju became more and more angry as he talked, and finally threw the book directly on the table, stood up and walked back and forth a few steps.

  Sun Quan, as the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, still has a bit of foresight when it comes to knowing people.

  Zhu Ju is called by him both civil and military, and can follow Lu Meng.

  Although I don't know if I can really compare with Lu Meng, but my ability is definitely not too bad.

  I have been in Han for so long, and for several months, I have stayed in the camp of the Han army almost every day.

  So he can be sure that in terms of cavalry, the Han Kingdom has not kept any secrets from itself.

   Not only did they not hide their secrets, but Han Guo also offered to lend out the equipment and weapons of the armored cavalry.

   In this way, Da Wu can build his own cavalry army as quickly as possible.

  Han Guo's attitude can be said to be heart and soul to Da Wu.

  But the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhu Ju felt.

  If the Han State just couldn't wait to destroy the Wei State, then naturally there is nothing to say.

   But what about after the Wei State is destroyed?

   Between Han and Wu, there is still a winner.

   Now that Han Guo spares no effort to help Wu, do they really not worry about the future at all?

  Zhuge Liang is extremely wise, and Feng Mingwen is far-sighted. If they say that they didn't think of this level, Zhu Ju will definitely not believe it.

  He believed even more that the Han Kingdom must have left behind.

  Or, Han Guo is very confident, even if Da Wu has learned their cavalry skills, he is still no match for them.

   It is precisely because of this anxiety that Zhu Ju is a little anxious—at the same time, it is also the anxiety of Emperor Wu:

   Han can no longer be allowed to go on like this.

  But the successive defeats of the Wei State over the years are enough to show that they cannot stop the Han State at all.

  The Three Kingdoms stand together, logically speaking, if Da Wu wanted to stop Han, he should ally with Wei.

  The key is... If Wu Wei alliance, Da Wu wants to pose a threat to Han, then only attack Yong'an.

  Zhu Ju entered Shu from Jingzhou via Yong'an. After seeing the sharpness of Han soldiers and the danger of Yong'an, he understood one thing very well:

  Da Wu now has no ability to break through the natural danger of Yong'an, it will only increase the casualties of soldiers, and end up in a situation of enmity with the Han Kingdom in vain.

  Even if Wei and Wu are in an alliance, it is still a question of whether Wei will dare to withdraw its troops from the south and wholeheartedly deal with Han.

  When the time comes to recite Han Lianwei Wei, it will make Da Wu carry the burden, and there will be no excuse to go north and be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River.

   It is impossible to unite the Wei Dynasty, and we don’t want to be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, we must try our best to weaken the relative advantages of the Han Dynasty in the future.

  The only way right now is to participate in the matter of destroying Wei.

   It is best to get all the prefectures that were allocated to Wu when it was agreed to divide the world.

  In this way, after Great Wu destroyed Wei, he would not be at a disadvantage in the struggle with Han.

   Wei Guo is good at riding, and Wu is good at boating.

  If you want to break this balance and go north to annex the Jianghuai and even the Central Plains, Great Wu must have its own cavalry.

   Otherwise, the Central Plains of the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River are all flat land, and the Wei thief Jingqi can move freely, come and go like the wind, and cut off the connection between various places.

   And what about Da Wu?

  If there is no cavalry, even if the city can be captured, it may not be able to defend it. Even if it can be defended, it is likely to be a lonely city.

  Talk about how to compete in the Central Plains, and then unify the world?

   "You don't even know what the Armored Cavalry means to Wu!"

  Zhu Ju stopped and looked at his son angrily:

   "Your Majesty sent you here to form the Great Wu's cavalry army, not just to let you know how to charge forward blindly!"

   "In addition to knowing how to use these cavalry, you also need to know how to maintain these cavalry."

   "When Da Wu really has his own cavalry, he can't send another group of people over to learn how to be grooms for you!"

  The Armored Cavalry Army is the most important weapon of the country. There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

  Although it looks like it only has 3,000 iron cavalry, it actually needs fine cavalry auxiliary wings to cooperate with it on the battlefield.

   It can be said that after learning the tactics of the armored cavalry, he also learned how to use fine cavalry.

  Thinking of this, Zhu Juda hated iron but not steel, he said coldly:

   "If you can't bear this hardship, then explain it to me early, so I can report to His Majesty as soon as possible, and ask Your Majesty to send another group of people over, so as not to miss His Majesty's important event."

  Zhu Xiong never expected that his lord would have such a big reaction on this matter.

  He muttered for a while, but finally dared not speak again.

  Compared to Wu Guo, who is seeking to break through the predicament, Ji Han has another look.

  After Chang'an was rewarded in October of the first year of Yanxi, Chang'an, as the capital of the great Han, began to officially move on the right track.

  The central government offices in Jincheng and Hanzhong were constantly relocated to Chang'an.

  Even the Dahan United Reserve Bureau and the Royal Academy in Nanxiang were also relocated.

  Especially the Royal Academy, which formally replaced the former Taixue and became Ji Han's highest institution of learning.

At that time, Feng Zhongduhu was the head of the mountain, Du Qiong, a famous scholar in Shu, Xu Ci who was proficient in Confucian classics, Lai Min who was familiar with Zuo's "Spring and Autumn", Meng Guang who specialized in "Three Histories", etc., were all college students. professor.

  At the same time, the Royal Academy also set up another lecture hall, where veteran generals in the army teach military affairs.

  For a time, both civil and military affairs of Ji Han flourished.

   Feeling that there is hope for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, someone went up to the emperor and suggested that criminals in the world should be amnesty to show the benevolence of the emperor.

   "My lord, the Minister ordered Jiang Gong to ask for an appointment."

  The servants took a greeting card and sent it to Feng Duhu.

  Jiang Gongyan?

  Looking at the sky, it is already time to be on duty, but at this time he does not go back to his own house, but comes to visit, why?

  Feng Duhu put away the greeting card, and glanced at the large training ground where horse racing was taking place.

  There are four little kids practicing martial arts over there.

  Shuangshuang is naturally the most relaxed, holding a small big knife specially made for her, playing with style.

   Achong is struggling a bit and often freezes. He always has to think about it before he can remember the next move.

   Ah Shun is the youngest, and he is still the same as before.

  As for Zhuge Zhan, he could only stand in the corner and lay the groundwork.

   His face was blushing, his body was staggering, and his legs were trembling visibly.

  He finally understood why he was pushed to the ground and beaten by them even though he was much older than those two sisters.

  General Guan went to the martial arts training ground, that is to be stern and selfless, which can be trained by tens of thousands of elite soldiers, let alone a few children.

   Ah Chong has been whipped several times, Zhuge Zhan was terrified,

  The weather was already chilly, and he was so tired that his head was sweating. Although he felt the pain in his waist and legs, he still gritted his teeth and dared not relax a bit.

  Feng Mansion's teaching, one day learning literature and one day learning martial arts, Zhuge Zhan is now looking forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.

  Besides being able to show off your own advantages, you can also mock that barbaric girl just like Ah Chong.

  Feng Duhu walked towards General Guan who was urging him, spoke to her, finished watching, and walked towards the vestibule.

   "Jiang Gong, why did you condescend to come here today?"

  Feng Duhu stepped into the living room, smiled at Jiang Wan, "If you have something to do, just send someone to tell me, whether it is the government office or the mansion, I can go there, why bother Jiang Gong to come to the door in person?"

  Jiang Wan saluted Feng Duhu first:

   "Wan, I pay my respects to the Protector of the Central Government."

   "Jiang Gong, please sit down quickly, you are much older than me, I dare not accept this gift from you."

   "Otherwise, Wan came here this time for official business. The position of the Central Capital Protector is higher than Wan, and the weight is greater than Wan. If Wan sees the Central Capital Protector, if he can't worship, what is the court etiquette?"

   "Okay." Feng Duhu smiled helplessly, not entangled with the other party in this regard, "Then I don't know what business Jiang Gong is here for?"

  Jiang Wan sat down and replied:

   "Wan came here this time precisely for the amnesty."

  He looked at Feng Duhu, "I don't know what Zhongduhu thinks about this matter?"

   "Opinion?"

  Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan in surprise. Is this matter worth your visit?

  According to his previous temperament, he might have to say "what can I think".

   But it is different now. After all, it is related to the court. His words and deeds may be speculated by others, so he will not express his position easily.

  The most important thing is that Mrs. You is not around, so there is no way to give him a suggestion on the spot.

  Feng Duhu coughed, a little embarrassed: "This matter, if you say something that makes Jiang Gong laugh, I really don't have any opinion at the moment."

   "Because the affairs in the army have been a bit cumbersome in the past two days, the people sent by Wu Guo seem to have some opinions on the teaching methods of the Tiger Cavalry Army."

   "After all, it is related to the relationship between Han and Wu. If one is not careful, it may make the two countries suspect each other, which is not conducive to seeking thieves together."

   "So these two days I only focused on dealing with this matter, but I didn't ignore the proposal of amnesty. Please forgive me, Jiang Gong."

  Jiang Wan expressed his understanding: "It is understandable that the Central Capital protects the military at home and abroad, and is busy with affairs."

  After finishing this sentence, he said with some discretion, "In Wan's opinion, this amnesty has the benefits of amnesty, and it can supplement the number of Han people."

   "Of course, there are benefits of not being pardoned. It can show that the strict laws of the Han Dynasty will not change, so that the people will not dare to break the law easily."

  Feng Duhu listened to Jiang Wan's words, nodded and said: "What Jiang Gong said is very true."

  Then throw the question back: "Then Jiang Gong supports the amnesty, or opposes the amnesty?"

  Jiang Wan did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while:

  "When the first emperor entered Shu, the prime minister established strict laws to govern Shu, and people complained a lot. Yihou also persuaded the prime minister, but the prime minister rejected it with the statement that 'people from the land of Shu should exercise their power at will.

"According to Wan, this is not the case in the land of Shu, but also the aristocratic families in the world. The prime minister, since he occupied Shu and conquered the north, finally let the emperor return to the old capital, which just shows that the governance is good. system."

   Feng Duhu couldn't help nodding his head in agreement with what Jiang Wan said.

   During the war, strict laws have always been used to promote efficiency and integrate resources as much as possible.

   Rest and recuperate, lenient law and less taxation, that is what should be done after reunification and in a period of peace and stability.

   Seeing Feng Duhu nodding, Jiang Wan felt that he had found out the other party's point of view.

   After all, Feng Duhu has a close relationship with the prime minister.

  The prime minister ruled the country with strict laws. Since Feng Duhu inherited the prime minister's ambition, it is naturally impossible to easily change the system left by the prime minister.

  More importantly, as long as the criminals of the big man are not capital crimes, they are basically sent to a certain place for labor reform to atone for their crimes.

  Many of these labor reform places are related to Xinghanhui.

  Feng Duhu said that he had no opinion, maybe he was unwilling to give an amnesty in his heart.

   "However, because the prime minister governs the country with strict laws, we should be more cautious when imposing punishment on others."

  Jiang Wan continued, "Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the prisoner will be charged with a serious crime even if he made a small mistake."

  Feng Duhu looked at Jiang Wan and didn't speak.

  He felt that what Jiang Wan said was very reasonable. In history, it was reasonable for the prime minister to choose him as his successor.

   No wonder, the political struggles of the Shu Han in history rarely shed blood. Is it because of the thinking of the rulers?

   But Feng Duhu was a little confused at this time:

  So Jiang Gongyan intends to support the amnesty or oppose the amnesty?
