To the north of Luoyang, on the side of Mang Mountain, there is a county with clear rivers and mountains and rivers. Although the place of administration and the name have changed several times, this is one of the traditional eight passes of Luoyang, Mengjin.
To this day, it is still an important place to defend Xijing, a large crossing on the Yellow River, and an important passage connecting Heyang and Heyin. When the imperial court moved westward to Luoyang, its status was further improved, and military defense was paid more attention to.
According to the deployment of the Privy Council, two thousand additional imperial troops were stationed in Heqing County. Under the Guards Department, there were even five hundred Longjie Army cavalry stationed in Baipo Town on the south bank.
The place where Zhao Guogong Liu Fang served was also here. It was about thirty miles away from Luoyang, so close, but it was in a semi-closed management state. Since Emperor Liu once again stepped up the training of the army, the laziness in the Forbidden Army has been swept away, as if he has returned to the past.
According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, the captain of the Forbidden Army has a rank of seventh rank. Compared with the original, the nineteen-year-old captain among the Forbidden Army is already rare. Therefore, when Liu Fang parachuted in, it still caused some waves, although it was only limited to the main camp and the team, which was insignificant.
Letting Liu Fang stay outside Beijing may not have reduced some of the reasons for paying attention to him. And with the growth of his knowledge and the training of his abilities, it is not a problem for him to deal with problems in a team.
The first is his natural suppressive aura, the second is the civil and military skills he has honed since childhood, and the third is that he has fought thieves and seen blood, and is not the kind of "airborne soldier" who relies solely on his family background.
Therefore, after serving in the army for less than half a year, Liu Fang had already managed his team to be obedient, and commanded and trained him like an arm. After receiving information about Liu Fang's performance in the army, Emperor Liu couldn't help but comment that this boy was indeed a good leader, not like a novice at all.
On a February day when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, Liu Fang led his small team of troops out of the Mang Mountains, completed their inspection and training mission, and returned to the military camp outside Baipo Town.
Baipo Town is also a new Han Dynasty town that has emerged in recent years. It is close to mountains and rivers, serves as an official road, and faces the ferry. Therefore, it is very prosperous. There are more than 700 households in and outside the town, accounting for almost one-fifth of Heqing County. of the population.
Zhendian has a city and a pond, which are made of rammed earth. Some parts are still masonry structures. In terms of sturdiness, it is not inferior to the county towns on the north bank. In terms of environment, it is even better. In fact, Heqing County has already asked Luoyang to move its place to the south, but it has not been approved.
It was lunch time, and the smoke in the town was curling up, full of the breath of life. Even from a far distance, you could still feel the hustle and bustle of the town, and the faint aroma of the food in the air was even more stimulating.
"What, are you all hungry?" Probably because the outdoor training was too tough this time, everyone was hungry. Liu Fang asked when he saw the knight following him.
One of them kept looking towards the town commander, smiled, and responded: "I feel hungry in my belly. My stomach has growled several times. Captain, do you want to express your gratitude?"
Liu Fang was able to win the hearts of this team of soldiers because of his heroic and heroic behavior on weekdays. He had previously used his own money to give the entire team of officers and soldiers a tooth beating ceremony.
"My little military pay is not enough!" After getting along for a long time, he has a better understanding of the temperament of his subordinates. He knows that the person who spoke is joking, so Liu Fang shakes his head repeatedly: "I'm not like you, most of them are married! I still have to Save money and marry a little girl!”
"With such a handsome appearance as the captain, how can a young and talented man like us be worried about a wife?" The chief said immediately, and winked at Liu Fang: "If you are so depressed, I know a place where you can wait for your vacation. At that time, do you want your subordinates to make arrangements? I guarantee your satisfaction..."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately started booing. In the military, in addition to daily training, inspection tasks and necessary entertainment activities, the most resonant thing is nothing more than drinking and sex.
Moreover, everyone also knows that Liu Fang is still a young child. In this regard, Liu Fang is actually a master of theory. When he was in the palace, he knew everything, but he never put it into practice.
Of course, some people in this team who have experienced it can tell the truth from the lies. Therefore, Liu Fang can still joke about it from time to time, which means Liu Fang is generous.
However, he glared at Na Shichang and scolded: "I think you still need practice. Since you have so much energy and nowhere to vent it, I will give you a chance. After you return to camp, go help feed and wash the war horses!"
Hearing this, the commander hurriedly said: "The captain may avenge his private revenge!"
"This is a military order, do you dare to disobey it?" Liu Fang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"I accept the order!" The chief shivered subconsciously, then straightened his back and immediately obeyed the order.
"Aren't you all hungry?" Seeing his understanding, Liu Fang's tone softened and his face returned to normal.
In the expectant eyes of the group of people, Liu Fang took the lead and took the lead: "Go back to the camp and eat! Now when you are being ordered, your heart is shaking, do you still dare to leave your post without permission, go into the town against orders to hide from laziness? Military staff Doesn’t it hurt when you hit your body with the French whip?”
The military camp and Baipo Town were separated by less than three miles. The camp was quickly returned. The camp was arranged in a strict and orderly manner as the Han army usually did. Since it was a cavalry, the space was large enough for the soldiers to gallop.
Various facilities are also very complete. The arsenal, school yard, grain yard, stables, and barracks are all in place. In terms of staffing, in addition to the regular Long Jie soldiers, there are also clerks, Xuan Weilang, grooms, military doctors, veterinarians, cooks, and temporary servants hired from surrounding areas.
This is a military base, and it is also the most basic and simple configuration of the Han army. There are uniform regulations across the country, but they are increased or decreased depending on the size. Of course, the treatment of the forbidden army is naturally the best among them, the conditions of the border army are more difficult, and the requirements of the general local army are lower.
Liu Fang was a famous figure in the camp and was very well-known. Young and energetic, strong in martial arts, good at riding and shooting, and proficient in the art of war, such a person is the protagonist wherever he goes.
"Liu Laosi!"
After returning to the camp, he handed over his orders, returned to the barracks, washed his face, and enjoyed the camp meals with his officers and soldiers. The food in the military camp has become more and more abundant. Although they don't have meat to eat every day, they still have enough food for those who have just finished their training.
Halfway through eating, someone came looking for me. He is the deputy general of the camp. He looks like he is in his thirties. His eyes are small and always squinted, giving him the impression of a smiling tiger.
Liu Fang's name in the army was Liu Si. Because of his young age, he was initially called Liu Xiaosi. Liu Fang was dissatisfied with this and did not want to be looked down upon. Later, the nickname "Liu Laosi" became popular.
When I went out, I saw the deputy general, gave him a military salute, and asked what was going on. The deputy general looked Liu Fang up and down several times, smiled more kindly, and said: "Let me just say, how can a person like you be called Liu Si?"
After hearing what he said, Liu Fang frowned slightly, stared at him, and said directly: "Why did you say that? What happened?"
The deputy general said: "Someone is looking for you and wants to see you by name!"
"Who?" Liu Fang asked again.
The deputy general shook his head: "You are very feminine. I am afraid that you are a servant in the palace. General Zhou Ying is dealing with it. Let me call you!"
Liu Fang looked stunned, wiped his mouth casually, and was about to leave. The deputy general pulled him and asked with some expectation: "I know that you have an extraordinary background, but I never thought that you are related to the palace. Can you tell me something?"
Upon hearing the question, Liu Fang chuckled and said calmly: "My name is indeed Liu Si, but when I am at home, my family calls me Shiro! But, I am used to hearing Liu Laosi..."
After saying that, Liu Fang left first. Seeing this, the battalion commander hurriedly followed him, looking at his figure thoughtfully. After thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Immediately afterwards, he was annoyed and stamped his feet vigorously. I had never dared to speculate in that direction before. If I had known this was the case, I would have been more friendly and flattering. I wonder if there will be another chance in the future...
