In the Imperial Garden.
Exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty. Rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.
The King of Han and the Queen were sitting in the pavilion, with a basket of golden millet in the middle. Liu Xiang bent over, grabbed a handful of millet with her little hand, put it in her hand and looked at it, smiling happily.
The grains are plump, so good.
Liu Zhixing, wearing an official robe, stood aside with a smile on his face.
Wu Nian was also smiling. He raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing: "Since I started the army, most years in Liaodong have been good and the weather has been good and the grain has been plentiful."
"If there is a disaster in Liaodong every three days, I may starve to death in the ravines. Therefore, if I can cause trouble, it is God who will provide me with food."
"It's not bad to say that I have a destiny."
Wu Nian did not believe in destiny, did not respect ghosts and gods, and spoke without scruples. Liu Zhixing didn't dare, he just smiled and nodded without answering.
"Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. If you give him enough rice, what can Cao Wei have to fear? Now we are the Han Dynasty, and our granaries are full. The Han army is howling. It's time to send troops."
"Zhixing. Send orders to all generals to prepare for battle."
"In addition, dispatch four garrison troops and horses from the Goguryeo area to Jiang County. It can be used as a defense against Xiong Wuwo and as a backup."
Wu Nian took a deep breath, with great pride rising in his chest, and stood up and said.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing smiled and bent down in response, turned around and left.
The basket of grain he brought was left behind.
Millet is very good. But Wu Nian's thoughts were not on it.
Field troops, guarding thousands of households.
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Liaodong, Youyan, Fusang, and Ryukyu kingdoms of the Han Dynasty. But there are few who can mobilize.
The four counties of Goguryeo in Youyan originally had eighty thousand households. Lu Liuliang and others stayed in Fusang. The remaining four guard Wanhu.
All Han generals and Han soldiers are the most loyal.
In Liaodong area, there are ten garrison households with ten thousand households. Each government has two thousand households. In this way, there will be 14 garrison troops with ten thousand households, guarding Liaodong.
At present, the relationship between Chu State and Han Dynasty is harmonious on the surface. Side markets were open to trade goods with each other.
But there is still a question mark as to whether Xiong Wuwo will leave Shanhaiguan. Fourteen garrison houses and ten thousand households guard Liaodong. Coupled with the favorable location, people and advantages, it is more than enough to guard against Xiong Wuwo.
The strength of the first wave of Northern Expedition was 180,000 households.
He personally led an army of 150,000 households and nearly 200,000 horse infantry.
Northern Expedition.
"Brother, you are going on an expedition again." Suddenly, Wu Nian heard Liu Xiang's weak voice. Wu Nian looked down and saw that the fragrance was like a frosted eggplant, wilting.
Wu Nian stretched out his right hand and touched her head. Said: "This time, brother will be back soon."
Wu Nian couldn't predict how the war would go.
But it’s okay to brag.
"Yeah." Liu Xiang knew that her brother was lying to her, but she still became happy and said happily.
The king of Han gave an order.
The mobilization of the Han army and the transportation of grain and grass were in full swing.
The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places. The earth emits murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land. People are murderous, and the world is turned upside down.
Today's Liaodong Tigers are the real Liaodong Tigers.
Neighbors would be very alert when he was sleeping soundly.
When he opened his eyes and stood up, shaking his hair, the neighbor seemed to be in the cold winter of October.
The Han army moved.
Chu, Mongolian, Yuan, and Slavs followed suit. Soldiers and horses are dispatched, spies and spies are coming and going, and food and grass are being transferred in full swing.
During the reign of the King of Han, there was no year that he did not seek revenge and no year that he did not conquer.
The Han Dynasty had already established a precedent for sending troops.
The prince supervised the country, and Liu Zhixing assisted in the administration.
evening.
In Jiang County, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and every house had lights on.
Qihou Mansion. Wu Min got married not long ago and has a very good relationship with her daughter-in-law. In the past, he always had meals with his wife.
today. But he called a few of his confidants to have dinner together.
After having enough wine and food. Wu Min put the wine glass on the table, raised his eyes and looked at his confidants and said: "Everyone. If a man doesn't enter the tiger's den, he won't get the tiger's cubs."
"If I don't lead the troops on an expedition, I will be a rice bug for the rest of my life."
"This Northern Expedition is an opportunity. I plan to enter the palace to ask for an audience with my father. I will lead thousands of guards from the Marquis of Qi Mansion and go on the expedition."
"Making great achievements."
These confidants are all officials of the Hou Mansion and have long known Wu Min's intentions.
"I would like to join the army with the Marquis." Everyone looked at each other, stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
"Okay. I'll enter the palace right now." Wu Min exhaled a breath of alcohol and stood up. Immediately. He went back to his room first, took a bath and changed clothes, put on a bright armor, took his guards with him, and galloped towards the palace.
The horse galloped like lightning, but he was as steady as an old dog, showing extremely good riding skills.
.............
I'm leaving soon. Wu Nian still loved Liu Xiang more and stayed overnight in Jiaofang Hall. It's the same today.
He and Liu Xiang had dinner together and took a hot bath one after another. Liu Xiang had nothing to do and went to the palace early.
He was still very energetic, so he read a book in Jiaofang Hall.
I still read miscellaneous books, romance novels and the like.
The eunuch holding a whisk in his arms broke in from the outside and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the king, Marquis Qi, is outside asking for an audience."
"Huh?" Wu Nian was stunned for a moment and looked up at the sky. It was so late.
However, if my son comes to see me, of course I have to see him. "Show me." He put down the book, waved his hand, and then went to change his clothes. Then he got on the sedan chair, left the harem, and came to the imperial study room.
Outside the Imperial Study Room. Wu Min was wearing heavy armor and kneeling on the ground.
After Wu Nian got off the sedan, he felt enlightened when he saw this scene.
"The ground is cold, don't kneel down. Come in and talk." Wu Nian said, entered the imperial study and sat down.
"Yes." Wu Min responded, stood up and entered the imperial study room, standing respectfully below.
"Do you want to go to war with your father?" Wu Nian asked.
"Yes. My son requested to lead the Qihou Mansion's thousands of guards to follow his father in the Northern Expedition. To defeat the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and achieve outstanding achievements." Wu Min replied decisively, his voice was extremely loud.
Wu Nian couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw his aura that resembled his own. After thinking for a while, Wu Nian said: "You know. When you go to the battlefield, there are no father and son. There are only monarchs and ministers."
"First of all, the first one is the military order."
"Then. People will die on the battlefield. You are the eldest son of the king, Marquis of Qi. If someone becomes emperor in the future, you will be the king of Qi. Even if you do nothing, you can still live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."
Wu Min bent down and said loudly: "Father, my son must obey military orders. My son is not afraid of death. If he really dies, he will be buried where he died."
"Good boy. He deserves to be my son. Go. Get ready. By the way. There are only a few days left. Spend more time with your mother. I agreed to the matter. You have to comfort your mother's tears."
Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Yes." Wu Min breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face. But when he thought of his mother's tears, he also became sad.
