,

Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui came to Suizhou together. The Prince of Lingwu invited the two to hunt in Hengshan, so he naturally had to give face.

For example, the positions of commanders in the lower vassal states have changed frequently. They can sit in the position of commanders for many years, as stable as Mount Tai. Even if they have ambitions, they will hesitate and dare not act lightly. The court did not cause trouble for them. The reason for this is self-evident.

This shitty world can keep the whole family rich and prosperous, which is a blessing. The Prince of Lingwu will do whatever he asks them to do, without talking nonsense.

Especially Li Xiaochang, when he was trying to fight Huang Chao, he saw the strong combat power of the Tie Linjun. He admired Shao Shude's ability to manage the army very much. He only appreciated his ability to manage the army, not his style of combat.

The Prosecution Army had tens of thousands of troops, but in recent years, it has become less and less. The old ones are old and dead are not supplemented, and the number has dropped to 7,000. Li Xiaochang was not in a hurry. He had stopped the idea of ​​attacking the bail army and occupying all the 23 counties of the four prefectures and 23 counties of Fuyan. Shao Paibei would not allow it, so stop dreaming.

With the guarding of Yan, the 130,000 people in the 14 counties of Dan will live a better life, and the savings will make you feel better. Dongfang Kui next door probably had the same idea. The two sides reached a tacit understanding, and there was no invasion of the outside town. What about raising so many soldiers?

Those who are dissatisfied may be the yamen generals of the four prefectures of Fuyan.

But at this level, they can still accept it. Unless there are foreign forces intervening and trying to win over, their ambitions will only be temporarily suppressed in their hearts and waiting for the opportunity.

The hunting site was Chengping County, Suizhou. At this time, there were all small hills that were neither high nor low, boundless, with thousands of ditches and ravines, dense forests, and the Wuding River and its tributary water system.

Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, due to the repeated military use of Dangxiang, forests in the Hengshan area have been cut down on a large scale, and the sand content of Wuding River has begun to increase. Although it has been peaceful for many years, the shogunate has scrapped firewood and promoted the use of charcoal. But for ordinary people, they still like to chop firewood and burn charcoal because they don’t have money.

When Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui arrived in Chengping County, a large camp had already been set up outside. After a closer look, it was mostly the chiefs of the Hengshan Dangxiang and the Pingxia Dangxiang tribes. When they saw Li Xiaochang, they looked different. Some came to say hello, while others snorted coldly. It was obvious that there were festivals, and maybe they were suppressed.

"Two great commanders, please come here." Shao Shude's personal deputy general saw Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui, and immediately stepped forward and said.

The two handed the horses to their personal soldiers and followed Lu Ming to a large tent.

The tent was very large, but there were not many people inside. Shao Shude sat in the middle, reviewing the official letter and military newspaper while having a meal.

Li Xiaochang didn't dare to look at him anymore. He knew two of the women, both of whom were concubines of the Prince of Lingwu, one was the Weicai clan, the other was the Yeli clan, and two other niece Tuoba Pu, who had a very good relationship with him back then. The last one left, maybe the No-Zang clan was the No-Zang clan.

Almost all the Dangxiang tribes present today. The Prince of Lingwu brought these concubines by his side, which was very meaningful.

There were still some maids in the tent, but they didn't know each other. Although they were wearing Han hair accessories and dresses, Li Xiaochang could recognize that he was a grassland girl at a glance. Most of them were from a noble family of tribal people, tall and healthy. Obviously, they grew up eating meat and breastfeeding, and the daughter of an ordinary herdsman or herdsman's slave family. Without this condition, they would not be able to grow up like this.

The proud flowers and skylarks on the grassland are now doing some maids' work in the tent, and the Prince of Lingwu is very grand.

"I have met Prince Lingwu." Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui stepped forward to greet each other.

"You two haven't used breakfast yet?" Shao Shude looked up and ordered: "Ge Shu, Qie, bring some food to the two great mentors."

The two girls quickly brought some milk, dried jelly, and fruits. Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui stood up to thank him.

They dare not offend these maids, because they have tribes behind them. Besides, maybe one day, Prince Lingwu became sexually accused of whom and gave birth to another child. Wouldn’t it be a matter of trouble for him to offend others?

"Today I'll find two of you, besides hunting, there's something else." Shao Shude put down his chopsticks, waved his hand, and asked someone to clean up.

Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui sat upright.

"Yang Fugong took power and deceived the Holy Emperor. He wanted to seize the rise of the western road of Shannan. Feng and the two states gave his fake son Yang Shouzhong. He also won over the rebel generals of the two states, but refused to obey the orders of General Zhuge." Shao Shude said: "This is an act of disaster to the country. If you distract the emperor and the vassal commander, you should be punished for your crimes."

Li Xiaochang understood as soon as he heard this. There was a teacher-student friendship between Zhuge Shuang and Shao Shude, so he wanted to help him stand out.

However, in terms of his position, it is also a good thing. Nowadays, who is a vassal commander, doesn't want to pass on his position? When King Chongrong of Hezhong died, his brother Wang Chongying took over. At the same time, he expressed that his son Wang Gong stayed for the descendant of Shaanxi and Guo, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders at all.

Dongfang Kui also looked solemn when he heard this. He had no ambitions anymore, but he would not agree if anyone wanted to take away the foundation of the two prefectures and nine counties of Fufang. The Prince of Lingwu was willing to stand up for Zhuge Shuang. It was indeed a rule-oriented and trustworthy person. Following him, the wealth and honor of the family would be guaranteed.

"I want to submit a letter, please ask the court to take back Cheng's order and kill Yang Shouzhong and a group of rebel generals. After you go back, write a memorial." Shao Shude looked at the two and said in an unquestionable tone.

"I should obey my orders." Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui said in a row.

"It's so good." Shao Shude smiled and said, "The towns in the northwest of the capital should be together."

Tuoba Pu was wearing a braid, wearing a small leather hat, and a pair of leather boots on his feet. He was similar to his sister-in-law's dress, and she looked like a prairie woman.

She leaned close to Shao Shude, watching Langjun criticize things in front of the two great men, looking for a natural and justified manner, and felt that men should do this.

Because of the customs, the aesthetic taste of men is naturally very different from that of women in the Han area. Although Tuoba Pu is weak in character, he is also a person who has ridden a horse and shot arrows, and those scholars of the Han people, she feels that she can capture one of them by riding a horse with a lasso.

The Han martial artist still looks a little bit like a heroic spirit.

Men should ride horses to conquer the world, and their grassland women are willing to be conquered by such a brave man.

After the meal, they took a break for a while. Shao Shude, Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui talked about the wheat harvest in the twenty-three counties of Fufang, and asked if Dangxiang was restless in the country. Then, they set up the tent together and hunted with the chiefs of the tribes who had been waiting for a long time.

Because I had noticed it almost a month in advance, all the chiefs of the nearby tribes arrived.

The three of them, Wuzang Qingxiang, Yeli Jingchen, and Wei Caisudu, had the highest status and followed closely behind. The other chiefs of the tribes had to accept them if they were not convinced. Didn’t they see the concubines that the Prince of Lingwu brought with them? They were all their daughters or granddaughters and were highly favored. This is their status.

Yeli Jingchen was in the best mood. His daughter gave birth to a daughter for Prince Lingwu, whose nickname was Buddha's teeth, which was white and tender. Shortly after his birth, Yeli Jingchen brought a hundred horses, five hundred cows, and three thousand sheep down the mountain to celebrate the birth of his niece.

Wei Cai Sudu, Wu Zang Qingxiang and the other two were a little envious. The Nori tribe is getting richer and richer now. I sell it to the shogunate, and I don’t know how much money I have made. Moreover, the tribe is getting stronger and more well-equipped, and the Wei Cai tribe has surpassed the Wei Cai tribe. Wu Zang tribe, and has become the number one in the foreign tribe.

This is the trust of the Prince of Lingwu. Otherwise, just making so many armors and weapons might attract a large army to encircle and suppress them. When will the Dangxiang tribes be so well-equipped?

However, it is not enough to compare with the top and the bottom. The other tribes are destined to find it difficult to achieve their status. Now, if you send a noble lady from the tribe, you can be a maid. If you are lucky, you may be favored by the Prince of Lingwu and become a concubine, which will bring benefits to the tribe.

This is the difference between coming early and coming late.

At that time, the Prince of Lingwu had only 20,000 soldiers, and they needed to support the destruction of Tuoba Dangxiang. But now, more than 30,000 soldiers alone could be pulled out, and it had already passed that hurdle.

The five tribes of Yinshan were valued by the King of Lingwu, just to prevent them from getting into trouble. They were not as good as Yeli, and the Weicai tribe, but the Tuoba tribe had a great fortune. I wonder why the King of Lingwu had fallen in love with the crying Tuoba little girl. Last night, she summoned her to serve her in bed. The Tuoba tribe seemed to be about to turn over.

With a whistle, the golden eagle fell from the sky, and its sharp claws penetrated into the head and neck of a fleeing hare.

Shao Shude laughed, pointed at the hunted golden eagle with a horsewhip, and said in Dangxiang's words: "The warriors of all tribes must not be worse than the golden eagle. Today, those who have captured the most prey will be rewarded with hundreds of famous brocades in Shu."

As soon as the words were finished, various warriors who had already been ready to ride their horses to drive forward and search for prey along the mountain valleys.

Warriors are like hawks, as long as they are good at driving, they will be of great use.

"This year, the rewards have been sent to the west to the Hewei Expedition, right?" After stopping in a valley, the personal military camp and the people from the Leopard Cavalry Capital began to set up tents. Shao Shude found the leaders of various departments and asked.

"It's all sent." The chiefs of all tribes said one after another.

Shao Shude nodded. Of course, he knew there was something wrong with it. Someone must have deducted some of it and was greedy for himself. But the more they did this, the more they became disinterested with the warriors in the clan. In the end, it was self-evident who the warriors would tend to.

"There may be war next year, so you must be prepared." Shao Shude said again.

"After the order from the young master, the warriors from all over the country went down the mountain, only to regret that they had no chance to go to war."

"After one year of going to the battle, I got several pieces of silk, more than ten cattle and sheep. The reward was so generous that I would be willing to die."

"The Khan only needs to give orders, and we all follow it."

The chiefs of various tribes expressed their loyalty. Shao Shude praised it repeatedly, but what he was thinking was another matter.

After the warrior went down the mountain, he went to war several times, and it was basically difficult to go back to the mountain. There was also a order for the military to accumulate hair, and many people changed their Chinese names. If he didn't open his mouth, you wouldn't know that he was a Dangxiang person. Over the years, Shao Shude has also "killed" many warriors, all of whom are the best riding skills, the best archery skills, the most powerful and the most ruthless in each department.

The tribal chiefs have a good attitude and are happy to get a lot of money. However, those with bad attitude or ambitions probably will curse behind their backs. They draw blood once a year, and they can't save up some capital. After following Shao Shude for several years, once they have been in the yamen army, they will take their families to the city, and then they look at them like looking at strangers, which makes people feel angry!

"I dare to ask the general, where will he seek next year?" After carefully serving Shao Shude a bowl of butter tea, Wuzang Qingxiang asked.

His daughter, Miao'e, had not given birth yet, was so anxious that she almost sent her 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old granddaughter together. The Nori tribe can now bring out five hundred soldiers and Yishui's Tang Dynasty equipment. Many small fence-headed tribes have begun to listen to the Nori family and ignore them. How can they bear it?

"Maybe you have to enter Guanzhong, or it may be Shannan West Road." Shao Shude said.

He did not explain in detail. Everyone in Guanzhong still knew it, but Shannan West Road was not very clear. Perhaps Ye Li Jingchen, who worked in the Lifan Academy, did not know about Qingxiang, but the others were confused.

There is no need to say too much, just let them send troops. You don’t have to spend money to support them in normal times. When there is a war, you can recruit some rewards and dismiss them after the matter is finished. Such a low-cost cannon fodder unit also has a sense of courage, just like the Cai people, Shao Shude likes to use it more and more.

"The two commanders, you have no choice but to ask for the two commanders to send troops." Shao Shude turned his eyes to Li Xiaochang and Dongfang Kui, who were drinking butter tea with a bitter face, and said.

"As the orders of Prince Lingwu," the two said in unison.

They were quite uncomfortable among the barbarians. However, the Prince of Lingwu was calm and did not feel uncomfortable when drinking shortening tea. Dangxiangyu was so skillful that no wonder he could fool these tribal chiefs into a daze, and he was happy to fight.

The barbarian is indeed a barbarian, and the wood is stuffed in his head.

"Bining Town will also send troops together. I have killed a Quan eunuch, so I don't mind killing another one." Shao Shude said again.

The current situation is very similar to Wang Chongrong when the town was in trouble? However, this time, I may not enter Chang'an. I can just help Zhuge stabilize the situation and kill the ambitious people who are ignorant inside and outside the town.
