"The last general (lower official) and others welcome Su Dacao and Wu Junzhi..."

Outside Jingzhao Prefecture, on the official road by the official pavilion, a group of generals with all robes and jackets, civil officials of Jingzhao Prefecture and officials under the Shaanxi Road Transportation Commander, all of them stood in squads, and all the civil and military officials were standing on the right. After all, they welcomed Su Chi and Wu Haogu who came down from the horse. On this occasion, Su Chi and Wu Haogu were wearing official uniforms and long-legged heads. Every step they took, the two thin and narrow wings trembled slightly. These two civil and military officials, who were not very old but were already at the top of the court, all had a graceful demeanor, bowed their hands and fists, and returned the greetings to everyone who had always greeted them.

During the Song Dynasty, although the status of civil officials was high, they did not openly disrupt the superiors and inferiors of the officialdom. If the rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were followed, Wu Haogu's current status as a military officer was not qualified to let several civil officials of the court level go out to welcome him (with Su Chi, they would still come to welcome him, but there would be no "welcome to the military service"). Of course, the bannermen and military officers of the Qing Dynasty were exceptions.

Compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Song Dynasty's civil servants and military officials had not yet reached the peak. Otherwise, Gao Qiu would not have been able to become the Xuanfu of the Three Routes, Tong Guan would not have been able to control Shuofang, and Wu Haogu could not have been able to become the coastal civilian commander. Below these officials, there were still many civil officials of not low rank who were obeying the orders!

So today Wu Haogu and Su Chi arrived together. Except for the civil and military officials stationed in Jingzhao Prefecture, Li Kui (Li Gang's father), who did not go out to greet him due to his identity, the other civil and military officials who could call him went out of the city to welcome them together. Moreover, the etiquette used was quite grand.

After all, it is a very sensitive moment for the entire Shaanxi Sixth Route. The Western thieves really seem to be obedient. Now the Hexi army gathers in Guasha and is about to attack Anxi. Shaanxi Sixth Route will no longer raise any trouble.

In addition, Shaanxi 6th Road is no longer a border area. There is another Shuofang Road north of Shaanxi 6th Road, which is the border area.

Therefore, the Western Army is no longer a border army, and the six lines of pacification envoys are no longer a border commander, and the border areas are not a border. Does Shaanxi still need 200,000 Western Army and six pacification envoys? The expenses consumed in a year are astronomical! Not only is the people's livelihood in Shaanxi exhausted, but also the nearby Sichuan, Hedong, and Beijing are not at peace and exhausted from transport.

Now in the northwest Da'an, the imperial court naturally wants to let the people in Shaanxi rest and recuperate. How could it be that the six-way appeasement envoy and 200,000 Western Army always maintain?

Moreover, these 200,000 Western Army did not play a decisive role in the war to suppress the Western Xia!

Therefore, the Western Army has been uneasy in the past two years, and I don’t know how the court will deal with these veterans who have worked hard but have not made much contribution.

In the past two years, there have been several generals in the Western Army. Who is not the one who stretches his ears and stares far away, and is full of thoughts in the court?

Although they were not very fierce in the war, they still had some capital in their hands and could compete with the court. So after finding various reasons, they went through many other places, and finally resisted that the Western Army was not transferred to the Baibo Camp in Luoyang, and if they really left Shaanxi, they would be tigers without minions and anyone could bully them.

However, the court also had a way to deal with the Western Army, which was to reduce the supply of food and salary, reduce the number of positions for transfer and subsidies. Originally, when the Western thieves were prosperous, the Western Army was simply the heart of the officials. There was no shortage of military salary and rewards, and they also distributed official land to archers on the edge, exempting rent, tax and corvee. The Western Army was even more popular with the generals, and many of the only children born in the generals gave them official positions.

And now, everyone's life is so miserable! So many generals of the Western Army miss the Western thieves. Why are they called Gao Qiu, Wu Haogu, and Tong Guan defeated? Why can't they last for a few more years?

Unfortunately, the Western thief could not think of it. However, the number one confidant of the current official family, Du Junjiwu Haogu and Su Chi, the eldest son of the current prime minister, came together!

Everyone is not stupid, why don’t you know what Wu Haogu and Su Chi are here to do?

That Su Chi is fine. Although he is the prime minister's son, he will definitely be a prime minister in the future, but he has never shown any means.

But Wu Haogu is different... He is a general who is as famous as Gao Qiu and Tong Guan, and he has made great contributions to pacifying the Western thieves! Moreover, he is also a scholar of the empirical school, and also founded Jiehe Knights Academy, Kaifeng Infantry Academy and Haizhou Naval Academy. Not only do they have the means, but they also have talents, but also money.

In addition, within the Western Army, many people had close relationships with Wu Haogu because of their nephews...

So today, the Western Army generals wearing military officer uniforms all came up with a smile on their faces and got close to Wu Haogu.

"Brother Chongdao turned out to be hard work. We have prepared a banquet, but please come..."

"Brother Chongdao, after having been together for many years in Xiazhou, I will meet you today. You must not be drunk and not return home!"

"Is Du Junji here to select knights for the officials? Do the selected knights want to expedition the Uighurs under Gao Xuanshu? Do we have the chance to go to the battlefield again and serve the officials?"

Some of the people who had some friendship with Wu Haogu tried their best to build relationships, while those who were conscious of being brave wanted to go to the battlefield of Anxi to fight again.

Wu Haogu actually had a suggestion, but it was not suitable to say this on the official road. If he had to call up the six generals and talk carefully behind closed doors. After the talk was done, he would exchange opinions with Gao Qiu and Tong Guan. Only after obtaining their support could he report to Su Chi, Gao Qiu and Tong Guan.

Of course, Wu Haogu is now in the name of inspecting Shuofang and Lingzhou. The official Zhao Ji also wanted him to cheer for Gao Qiu, who was so powerful that he was shocked by the master!

Zhao Ji had already spoken. He didn't learn the art ancestor and the emperor gave a cup of wine to release military power. So Gao Qiu was relieved to have troops in Lingzhou!

If Hexi can be taken back in the future, he will also serve as the governor of Hexi Road. The officials absolutely believe in him... Such a good official may have nowhere to find him with lanterns, so he should work harder to serve.

...

"High defense, how many other heroes can the Western Army pull out now that they can ride horses?"

The Shaanxi Sixth Road General Military Machinery Room is located in the yamen of the Yongxing Army Road General Manager of the General Manager of the Yongxing Army Road in Jingzhao Prefecture City, occupying several large courtyards. Gao Yongnian, the current Yongxing Army Road General Manager of the Army Road General Manager of the Army Road, had someone cleaned up, and also provided soldiers and servants with sweeping. Wu Haogu did not come alone. As usual, he took Guo Xiaoxiao and Bai Feifei to wash and change clothes under the two women's service, and did not go to the lobby of the General Manager of the Army to attend the banquet, but instead found a clean house, bought incense tea, and found Gao Yongnian to discuss it secretly.

Hearing Wu Haogu's question, Gao Yongnian pondered for a moment and replied respectfully: "There are heroes in the Western Army who can fight cavalry. However, these heroes do not all occupy the imperial guards. Many of them are utility soldiers of each family, and some are archers... The total number should be between 5,000 and 10,000, but it is not easy for military secrets to use them. After all, these people are the foundations of each family."

In fact, Gao Yongnian just said that if Wu Haogu really wanted to poach people from the generals of the Western Army, would he still not be able to dig? He has money, officials and land, why should those generals compete with him?

However, Wu Haogu is easy to talk to, and he doesn't care about the feudal situation in Shaanxi. No matter whether you are Guanlong or a warrior, as long as you can block all kinds of Tartars.

When Wu Haogu heard 5,000,100,000 people, he smiled faintly: "There are still quite a few! After a few compilation and rectification, you can go to the northwest and go for another trip. This is an opportunity to make achievements. Are the generals of the families not moved at all?"

Gao Yongnian just nodded, and of course his heart was moved... but that was also capital! If you really handed over, what should each company do in the future? Even if you release the military power with a glass of wine, you have to give enough benefits.

Are the houses in Kaifeng Prefecture ready? How many fertile fertile land is there? Can each family enjoy the treatment of the veterans and intermarriage with the Tian family and share wealth?

Wu Haogu certainly understood what Gao Yongnian meant. He smiled and said, "Defense, reorganization of the Western Army is a foregone conclusion... There is nothing to say about this. There is no war in Shaanxi now, but the Western Army has 200,000. How can it be maintained?

Of course, the court will not let go of the donkey. Don't worry... the house deeds, land deeds, official positions, etc. will have them. Not only are the generals above good, but the ordinary generals below will also arrange a way out as long as the elite can fight. Moreover, this power will be controlled by the generals of each family! The official believes in you, and in the future, when the northern expedition of Yanyun, we will rely on you."

"Military aircraft," Gao Yongnian looked at Wu Haogu, who was dozens of years younger than him but had a great career. "Can you say it clearly? What is the way out?"

"How about Guanlong?" Wu Haogu said lightly.

"Guan...Long!?"

Of course, Gao Yongnian knew that "Guanlong" refers to the famous Guanlong nobles in the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties!

"Military aircraft," Gao Yongnian paused, "What you said is true? The officials want to turn the Western Army generals into Guanlong nobles?"

Wu Haogu Yixiao: "How could the official family think so?"

No matter how big Zhao Ji is, he cannot allow the Xiaguanlong Group to be born under his nose.

"Then..." Gao Yongnian was a little confused.

Wu Hao Gu Dao: "It's just that Su Xianggong wanted to teach the soldiers of the field, and he also wanted to establish a system of the upper and lower systems of the gentry, the gentry and militia, and he also wanted to open a rural school and make a rural agreement... In short, it was the way for the gentry to control the soldiers of the country, and the benefits of giving official fields to the military government and reducing rent and taxes. Defense, do you think this is the same as the early Guanlong?"

Gao Yongnian thought about it and nodded silently: "It's really a bit similar... If it can be implemented, each company will have a foundation and can continue to serve the country in the future!"

"Whether it can be implemented depends on the details," Wu Haogu said with a smile. "Defense, please send someone to make the final decisions of each family and call Jingzhao Mansion, and I will talk to them in person."
