Chapter 411: father and son meet

PS: There is an error in chapter 409, it should be Handan Noon, this is the first today, two more tomorrow.

Zhao Yang took a detour to the south of Taoyi and was close to the outskirts of the city. At first, Zhao Yang was very happy to see that Zhao Wuxi had also sent scouts from the east and south to approach them vigilantly. Although the Qi army of the guards will always be in the west and north when they appear, it is good for the son to act cautiously.

The 7,000-strong army marched back and forth, and in the distance, through the fog, Zhao Yang caught a glimpse of the high-walled gatehouse in Taoyi, and they had reached the end.

Taoyi is also called Yaoxu. It is said that in ancient times, it was one of the old capitals of Yao surnamed Tang Yao. In the eighth year of Lu Xi, the feudal lords of the Duke Huan of Qi's alliance were in Tao, and later became the meeting place of the alliance. In the 31st year of Duke Xi of Lu, Jin Wen Gong divided Cao’s land, south of Tao, and Fu Yuji in the east. As the price of subservient to Chu, this became the only remaining stronghold of Cao on the north bank of Pushui. When the army was approaching, he could borrow this place to join forces with him, which showed that Zhao Wuxi and Cao Bo had a great friendship.

It seems that he has learned to find allies, instead of fighting alone, like in Jin, he will be envied when he has achievements, but there are not many friends to help. The corner of Zhao Yang's mouth also showed a hint of self-deprecation. This point, he regarded himself as very high, and he was arrogant, and he learned it after countless falls when he was young.

Finally, when Zhao Wuxi came to dismount to greet him, Zhao Yang saw his retainers and military officials surrounded by him. Many people bowed their heads to Wuxi, and raised their eyes to look at him with curiosity and admiration.

"My son also has a beard." Zhao Yang handed the axe and bow to Zheng Long, the right of the car, and got out of the car with a smile to help Zhao Wuxi up. He had many doubts and words to ask Zhao Wuxi, but the first sentence The words are so.

"only."

Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment, then happily agreed, and then embarrassedly touched his chin, which was covered with stubble because he was out of the army and had no time to take care of it, as if he was suddenly not used to it. However, Zhao Yang's words when they met at the beginning contained the concern of the father, but they drove away the strangeness that the two had not seen for a long time.

"Good, it is somewhat similar to my father when he was young, and a little more majestic. It is more like a champion."

The subordinates and military officials behind Zhao Wuxi came to greet Zhao Yang one after another. In the end, the pioneer You Wuzheng, who had detoured here, held the tiger talisman that the division was riding to reply to Zhao Yang about the combat situation. Zhao Yang pushed the tiger talisman back to him again.

"The war is coming, Gu also expects Ziliang to continue to be my striker!"

Zhao Yang's majesty made Zhao Wuxi's civil and military men secretly praised that a tiger child must have a tiger father, and the personality charm of not being angry and self-proud is even more unsympathetic.

There are also many familiar faces of Zhao Wuxi in the opposite team. The secretary of the black-clothed bodyguard, Zheng Long, waited on Zhao Yang's side with a sword; the one with a dark robe and a high crown was the counselor Fu Sou who was with him; the doctor Bian Quehe had a childish face, and saw Zhao Wuxi with a smile.

The envoys of Wu State, who made great achievements under the thorns, marched on the side. Qu Wuji and Wu Xie have a close attitude. The warrior's crucian carp was frozen like an eggplant beaten by frost. He lost his arrogant appearance before. Yanyan, a gentleman of the Southern Kingdom, pulled a half-cart of scrolls behind him. It is said that he hand-copied the scrolls one by one in front of the candles and heavy bamboo slips, which he had given to him without a shirt in the storage room of the lower palace.

However, the nobleman who was walking in the queue with the county **** in Wenxian looked like a stranger in Zhao Wuxi's eyes... until the other party turned over and jumped out of the chariot. Hong Zhong, who seemed familiar, shouted, and then bowed down in front of Zhao Wuxi to greet his brother. He just recognized who it was.

"Cousin is as handsome as ever!"

If only Zhao Wuxi could say the same thing to him, Zhao Guangde, a shy little fat man two years ago, although a little bloated, has a clean face and clear eyes. But I haven't seen him for two years now, and I don't know what he ate at home. The sixteen-year-old boy bulged like a balloon, and he was nearly eight feet tall, standing out in the crowd. Being taller is a good thing. It's a pity that his waist has also become as amazing as his height. He has at least doubled his weight, and there is a thick black beard like iron wire covering his fat double chin.

However, ancient aesthetics appreciated the abdominal circumference of men and considered it a symbol of strength. Don't you see the frescoes and sculptures of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and almost everyone of the warriors has a big belly. It seems that Zhao Guangde's strength has indeed risen. On the chariot is a large vertebra made of copper. It seems to be Zhao Guangde's weapon. Zhao Wuxi can only barely carry it by himself.

During the chat along the way, Zhao Wuxi learned about it. Doctor Wen Zhao Luo stayed behind to take charge of Wen Di's defense. Although he was only in his forties, his body was so bloated that he could hardly fight on a bicycle.

"Their father and son really should eat less bear paws." Zhao Yang was chatting and laughing, and complained to Zhao Wuchen secretly by the way. Zhao Luo has become more and more greedy for pleasure in the past few years, as if he will never fight again in this life. Fortunately, although his son also had a strong desire for material things, he still had a bit of courage, thinking of Zhao Wuxi's goodness to him back then, he took the initiative to invite Ying to lead the army to accompany him.

The combat effectiveness of Wenxian's pawns is relatively poor, but after citing the training method of military pawns, the more than 1,000 pawns directly under Zhao Guangde's command are not so unbearable. In addition, Zheng Long brought more than 200 black-clad soldiers carefully selected from the sons of his retainers, guarding around Zhao Yang, and 300 light knights who rode on behalf of horses and trained in Dayuan. These people are the standing army of the Zhao clan. . The remaining 5,000 people were temporarily recruited by the Zhao clan from Xiagong, Jinyang and other places, equipped with spears, bows and arrows and halberds.

Wu Xie even saw that there were hundreds of soldiers sent from Weiguo Chuqiu Rongzhou to follow. They had a long-standing grievance with the Weiguo people, and many people joined the army after recruitment.

This is all the combat power in Zhao Yang's hands. What surprised Wu Xie the most was naturally the three hundred light cavalry. Although the training battle is not as good as the original version of the shirtless men, it is also a good supplement for the upcoming war.

"With the addition of two hundred soldiers and light cavalry, and more than three hundred of You Wuzheng's subordinates, I will be able to gather eight hundred cavalry in this battle!"

If used properly, it is not a myth that a thousand cavalry kills more than ten thousand soldiers, but a fact that has been repeated in history!

The military reforms carried out by their father and son were limited to the military, and were not forced to be promoted among the civilians and nobles like the later Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu Cavalry and Archery. Therefore, although there are some voices against it, it is possible to disregard those who were born in the Yuan, Mu, and Di people. Cavalry became commonplace. In the words of Zhao Yang: "Our ancestors Boyi and Zaofu were people who rode horses and herds horses, so what about fighting on horses?"

When he was young, he also used to ride a horse in the garden. At that time, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Fan family was relatively close, and Zhao Yang himself had some friendship with the Fan Jishe brothers.

Now things are right and wrong, again and again, Zhao and Fan. After this incident of crossing the river with the enemy, it has become a deadly revenge that cannot be understood! This account will naturally have to be settled after the Zhao family is out of danger.

The last person Zhao Yang recommended to Wu Xie was a woman with a flat bun. A strange old man with Wei Guobei's accent.

"The first doctor of the Wei State, Chu Shipu, was expelled by Wei Hou Yuan. He originally died in Zhongmu. He heard that I had crossed the river and entered Wei, so I came to help."

Master Chu was the official title of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the official responsible for managing the market. Also known as "City Order", Weiguo has developed industry and commerce, and the power of artisans and merchants is huge. More than ten years ago, Qibao, Bei Gongxi, Chu Shipu, and Gongzichao in Weiguo were in chaos. It was precisely by using the power of craftsmen that Weihou was expelled from Puyang. Therefore, Wang Sun Jiacai said, "Gou Weiguo is in trouble, and industry and commerce are not without trouble." .

However, the coup failed in the end, Gongzichao and Chu Shipu fled to Jin, and the beautiful man was forgiven by Weihou's love affair and went back. And Chu Shipu originally lived in the Zhao family's doctor Zhongmu, but now he is directly under the Zhao family.

After all, the "Juxianju" in the lower palace to attract guests has developed after a year. Already famous, in addition to those young wanderers, one of the main targets of recruiting is the deceased ministers of various countries. These people are dissatisfied with their motherland, and they have been in high positions all the year round. They have an extremely detailed understanding of the facts and facts of their country's politics and can make use of them...

Qu Wu, a fallen minister of the Chu State who entered Jin, and Wu Zixu who entered Wu, are all like this. In the battle of Yanling that year, Emperor Miao Ben, the deceased minister of Jin state, was on the side of the king of Chu Gong, and Bozhouli, the deceased minister of Chu state, was on the side of the ministers of Jin state. A thorough analysis of the army of the home country is more of a classic scenario.

The same is true for Chu Shipu, the old guy who was over sixty years old but still dreamed of returning to the Wei Kingdom court, and even ousted Weihou from power, said it bluntly.

"Don't worry about Zhongjun Zuo and Xiaosikou. Although there are more than 20,000 troops in the Weiguo army, Weihou is suspicious by nature and will never bet on it. When the old man was in Zhongmou, he knew that the Fan family and the Handan family would be stationed in the Dahe River. Dunqiu and other places in the east. It is near Puyang. Although Wei Hou was attacked by his generation, he still has the heart to be on guard. He must keep the half army of the left army commanded by Mi Zixia in Puyang, and then join forces with Wangsun Jia Shuai. The right army and half of the left army, a total of 15,000 people, are waiting for an opportunity to join the Qi people."

"It would be great if it could really be like that." This news was like a booster, which made Wu Xie's eyes shine. If only one and a half of the guards participated in the battle, then his plan would be more likely to come true!

Just talking and walking, I chose a good place to camp without a shirt. The land under the horse's hooves is dry and won't sag with the stampede. They walked through the smoke-smoothing campfires, the rows of war horses and chariots, and the wagons full of grain and grain, most of which were brought directly from the pottery.

Then, Zhao Yang saw Zhao Wuxi's soldiers lined up neatly, and was greeted by a team led by the military officials. When he saw his chariot approaching, the shouting continued.

He was still involuntarily praised: "Mighty and majestic, the array has no gaps to attack, it is already a division of a hundred battles!"

But other armies are less optimistic.

The number of military pawns in the standing army has expanded to more than a thousand people. Zhao Wuxi took most of the Yibing Ting pawns in Linqiu, Zhen, and Yuncheng. He transferred two thousand in one breath, and Ran Qiu led him to stay in Punan. , by the way, monitor Ohnozawa, who has not fully returned to the service, and one thousand is used as a combat unit. The second is the thousand people assembled from the various towns of Xilu. The doctors were shocked when they heard the news that the Qi people were heading south. Fortunately, Zhao Yang had arrived, which made them feel a little more at ease, so they also sent people to show their goodwill and make up the number.

In addition to the postal divisions who arrived earlier, Wu Xie had nearly 6,000 combat troops on hand.

The soldiers brought by Zhao Yang were successively led to the tents that had already been set up, and their destination was a large tent of the Chinese army built with thick leather and wooden poles on a bare rock with a higher terrain.

After blocking the left and right, only Zhao Yang and Zhao Wuxi were left in the account, and the father and son were silent for a while.

On the table, there was corn wine and dried small fish that had been shrunk with shriveled courgettes. Zhao Wuxi poured a dime glass for Zhao Yang. He sat down on the couch, took a sip, and looked at his son again. He seemed to be a little taller than last year, and his dark beard did make him look a lot older.

"My son is fighting side by side with me." He thought to himself, this is his youngest son, and the most capable one. The other three are not enough to control the crowd of five thousand.

This is as it should be. From the moment he left Jin, Zhao Wuxi went into exile in various countries, seized Zhencheng, entered Lu as a doctor, and took advantage of the domestic turmoil in Lu to Dayi Yuncheng, and became a higher authority. The position of the small secretary. He seems to be using facts to prove that even if he is not in the country, he can still surprise Zhao Yang from time to time.

For example, this time, Punan, the state of Wei, has been swept across the country in more than a month, and five cities have already fallen into the hands. Although a stable rule that conforms to the etiquette has not been established, this is something that even Zhao Yang himself can't guarantee that he can do it. Even better than Duke Wen of Jin back then.

But this achievement is like a fortress built on a sand dune, which may collapse at any time under the blow of the waves and winds.

And the storm is forming in the north.

So Zhao Yang slowly opened his mouth and said, "You must be aware of the situation, thanks to Fan Shi and Handan Wu, in a few days, you and my father and son will face tens of thousands of Qi and Wei coalition forces. Chu Shipu said that not all of them will go south, but as a father, let’s be honest, and even so, although I always pretend to be good at fighting, I am not sure that I will win.”

At the end, Zhao Yang added another sentence: "Is Uncle Cao really coming? Can Cao Jun really help us?"

Zhao Wuxi listened attentively, and replied respectfully, "I promise to cede Shengdou and Lishan, the land south of Lei Ze, and the population of nearly 10,000 people. Zigong's Qiaotong father has seen it before. It was because he said something, that Cao Cao agreed to this matter. Nearly 10,000 Cao troops have already headed north, and there is only one day's journey from here, and tomorrow they will be able to hunt in Tao with my father in winter!"

"Although Uncle Cao agreed, after he came, would he go back in the face of such a big enemy?"

Wu Xun smiled and said: "The son and his advisors have their own backers, and now they have been launched one by one. Although I don't expect the tens of thousands of Qi and Wei to fall apart, it is enough to make Qi Hou more trouble. Presumably in a few days, I will The enemy army will not be so powerful when we face it. My father probably doesn’t know it yet, and it’s a coincidence that news came from the north yesterday that the only official who stayed in Linzi, Bao Guo, has passed away!” (To be finished! continued.)
