"General Che Cavalry, Che Cavalry General!"
The day before the expedition, the Son of Heaven was feasting in the palace, but Ren Hong met Zhao Chongguo at the Sima Gate of the bus.Zhao Chongguo's ears were not yet back, and when he heard the voice, he looked back at Ren Hong running panting, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Daoyuan is only thirty-five years old?""
Four out of thirty.""
Only thirty-four?"
Zhao Chongguo didn't know whether to envy or regret, so he said: "The old man is seventy-six, and he walks faster than you!"
”It is also the old general who can talk to Ren Hong like this: "Now the imperial court selects thousands of guards from Daoyuan among the eight schools, and imitates the ancient Wei warriors, who have to wear dozens of catties of iron armor, hold a spear, a belt and a knife, and have to carry a crossbow machine and fifty crossbow arrows on their backs, carry two naan of grain and grass a day, and walk thirty miles from dawn to dark.If you let the road go away, I'm afraid you won't even be able to be a personal guard. ”This standard is obviously much lower than that of Wei Wushu, and only more than 1,000 people can meet the standard, Ren Hong said with a smile: "There are people under Hong's command, why worry about not breaking it?"
”Zhao Chongguo patted Ren Hong's bulging belly and joked: "Daoyuan himself has to practice more, don't drag the army back." ”The two entered the palace together, and Ren Hong couldn't help but be relieved to see that Zhao Chongguo was not a hard support, and he was indeed in excellent health.After the destruction of the Xiongnu, there were almost no enemies around the Han Dynasty, and even the Qiang Rebellion in the West was quelled in advance, and the unruly ones were driven to the plateau, and the rest were also keen to trade tea with the Han people, exchanging salt and horses for tea cakes.The only thing worth worrying about is whether Ding Ling, Xianbei, and Wuhuan in the north will sit big.Although Ren Hong cut the grassland into pieces, he also supported the Buddhism of Milanda, so that the upper and lower classes of the Xiongnu pinned their hopes on the reincarnation of Han nobles and common people in the next life.But the ghost knows if there will be some anomaly, the stirrup saddle is too simple, the iron can be replaced by other materials, and the Han army has gradually spread after using it, and its impact is incalculable.But as long as Zhao Chongguo is in one day, there is no need to worry, the old man has lived for more than seventy years, since he enlisted in the army, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the whole Han Dynasty, he is calm with soldiers, and he knows the truth of the four Yi, as soon as Ren Hong goes, Zhao Chongguo will become the head of the military generals in the DPRK, with him in town, he is not afraid of clowns jumping off the beam.Look, the old general can last at least ten years, right?"
There are also people who are afraid of being enemies."
When the two of them were talking and walking towards the front hall, Zhao Chongguo said so."
The general is still jealous?
Who's it?
”Zhao Chongguo laughed in a low voice: "Who else can there be, naturally it is Daoyuan you!"
”Ren Hong was taken aback: "How could Hong be the enemy of the general?"
”Zhao Chongguo restrained his smile: "The old man also hopes so." ”Ren Hong understood Zhao Chongguo's worries, because he was afraid that he would turn his face with the court after leaving the Han Dynasty, just like Han Wangxin and Lu Juan.He bowed his hand to the old general, sincerely: "General, please rest assured, no matter where Hong is or what he does, he is a Hanchen, and he will never provoke the Han." ”"It's still the same as what the general said five years ago, the general came to be the shield of the Han Dynasty, and I will be the spear of the Han Dynasty!
However, contradictions never strike each other!
”Zhao Chongguo believed: "That's good, the old man only took the liberty to ask." ”"After Daoyuan finished fighting Zhizhi, most of them won't go back to Chang'an?
Where are you going?
”Coincidentally, the night before yesterday, Ren Hong explained the aftermath to Geng Shouchang and Liu Gengsheng, and the emperor summoned him to the palace, and did not let others get drunk with him, only the two of them drank until the middle of the night, and it really seemed that they had said a lot when they returned to Shangguanli.When he was drunk, Liu Xun also seemed to be concerned, and seemed to ask Ren Hong this question tentatively.It seems that everyone is not worried about Ren Hong's battle against Zhizhi, but he only thinks that he will win, Ren Hong can't help but think, if he blows so much in advance, brews so much, and finally goes out with great ambition, but he loses when he fights Zhizhi and runs back in disgrace, then it is a god.And when Liu asked the night before, although Ren Hong was drunk, he didn't reveal his ultimate goal, which was too big and would even scare the emperor, but if it was too close to Han, it would make Liu Xun worry like Zhao Chongguo.Therefore, Ren Hong only told the emperor about another place, not far away.That location is also somewhat related to Liu Xun's life experience, which successfully moved the emperor again.Seeing that Ren Hong stopped and didn't answer, Zhao Chongguo thought that he didn't want to say, so he only said: "Daoyuan is going to go on an expedition tomorrow, and the old man has nothing to give you, and the Marquis of Xi'an, who is rich in the world, is not short of rare things." ”Zhao Chongguo took out a copper coin in his arms, this scene looked familiar, sure enough, he finally took out a copper coin red copper for Guo, the money is blue, it is an out-of-print red money, when he was in Mobei, Zhao Chongguo used this money to guess with Ren Hong, to see who went to the northwest."
When the old man was the captain of Shui Heng, he minted an unknown amount of money in Shanglin, but this one is the most special, since the battle of the East Tianshan Mountain, he has followed the old man for decades, and every time he fights, he will bring it, which can be regarded as bringing some luck.""
The king of Xiqi who captured the Huns has it, the broken martial capital has it, the Xiqiang of Pingjin City has it, and the battle of Shiqi River is also there!"
The front hall was in front, and the copper coin was skillfully thrown high by Zhao Chongguo, and after it fell, it was slapped in the palm of Ren Hong's hand by the old general.Hey, Zhao Chongguo's hand is so strong, Ren Hong's palms are all red!"
Take it."
Zhao Chongguo said goodbye to Ren Hong."
After going west, if you are really undecided, you don't know where to go, and when you hesitate whether to return in the end, let the heavens decide!"
Today's banquet is mainly for the generals and partial generals who conquer the west, and it is held in the front hall, and all the military officials are there, but it is a good opportunity for the Son of Heaven to show his good treatment of Ren Hong, and it also saves the folk secret rumor that Ren Hong is exiled to the heroes."
Get the armor!"
Liu Xun looked very happy, when the wine passed the third round, he first called on the ministers, saluted the Marquis of Xi'an together for his heroism, and waved his hand, allowing people to send a gorgeous pair of bright light armor up.The Son of Heaven got up and told the story of this armor to everyone: "This armor was originally made by Dasi Nong six years ago after the Mingguang armor was made, and it was sent to the palace, and I occasionally wore it when I inspected the Eighth School.However, the treasure armor should be given to the strong man, should not be covered with dust in the palace, so let people change its color, and the white match, today together with the Shangshu horse sword, given to the big Sima hussar general!
”It is indeed changed in color, the original black and red color has been replaced with white, and the place where the leather is used is also covered with precious white tiger skin, and on the left and right shoulders, the twelve chapter patterns have been replaced, and they are replaced by the "white tiger stripes" in the two "four god patterns".This is really to build Ren Hong as a white star, so he sent him a white tiger as a mount.The Son of Heaven personally gave the armor, which was already the envy of the hundreds of officials and generals present, and the ministers nodded and praised one after another, but the more exaggerated ones were still to come.When Liu Xun asked Ren Hong to test the armor in the palace, he asked people to bring out a lacquer plate, on which were placed two brightly colored arm guards, which were generally tied to the arms during archery and battle, to protect them from being injured by the bowstring, or to prevent the hard armor from rubbing and breaking the skin.Ren Hong was happy to see this thing, but saw that this arm guard should be made of precious Shu brocade, colorful, rich in texture, there are rare birds, dogwood patterns, cloud patterns, the sun, the wings of the mouth and tongue to ward off evil beasts, vertical stripes, white tigers with round eyes, the most surprising is the words embroidered on it."
The five stars go out of the east to benefit China, and the west is captured, and the single is down; Too white, four suits, invincible!
”The left and right correspond, the five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black just correspond to the year star, the glowing star, the filling star, the white star and the chen star."
This arm guard, Xi'an Hou Ke still likes it?"
I like it, of course I like it, it's really a good luck, Ren Hong said: "Your Majesty's gift can be passed down to the family, and the minister may not be willing to use it on weekdays." ”This is the truth, if it can be preserved two thousand years later, a proper national treasure, the words on it, plus its legendary story, are enough to interpret several TV series.Liu Xun was happy today, regardless of the respect of the Son of Heaven, he actually wanted to tie it up for Ren Hong in person.The emperor glanced at the ministers in the front hall and smiled: "I don't hide it from you, in fact, this arm guard is not made by the weaving room, but I asked the empress dowager and the queen to spend a month and weave it by their own hands!"
”This next Ren Hong has to resign: "The minister is fortunate to be ordered to go on the expedition, how dare he accept the things of the Empress Dowager and the Mother of the World?"
”"The hussar general deserves it."
Liu Xun helped Ren Hong not to let him worship, put the arm guard on Ren Hong's hand, and whispered to him: This thing is not a gift from the Son of Heaven. ”If there were flickering tears in his eyes, it seemed that it was indeed not Liu Xun who was talking to Ren Hong at this moment, but Liu Yao."
This is a parting gift from the sick and Pingjun.""
Please take it, uncle!"
When he left the palace, Ren Hong had already put on this white tiger pattern armor, and it was difficult to be gracious, and the moment the Son of Heaven tied his arm guards, Ren Hong was indeed a little moved.As for why the two of them didn't give him privately when they drank the night before, but chose to act more or have more true feelings in public, Ren Hong didn't want to think about it this time.In the future, if you want to fight a hundred battles, you won't have a chance.But now, Ren Hong looked at the arm guard in his hand with interest.It is not surprising that Xu Pingjun will weave brocade, after all, he is from a bitter background, when he was in Shangguanli, he also knitted children's clothes for Ren Bai, and the two families gave each other gifts during the New Year's holidays.But that Shangguan Tang has been pampered in the palace since he was a child, and he really knows how to weave things?"
It's not clear."
Ren Hong laughed and said to himself: "The Empress Dowager Shangguan weaves, is it left or right?"
”PS: I will continue to make up for it tomorrow.
