Chapter 641. Expedition
Life is the least stubborn. Drink, play cards, and when the weather clears, then run the track and race horses. The winter in Guihua City has passed like this! March is coming, everything is revived, green buds emerge from the soil, and the grassland begins to become vibrant again.
However, this year, the scene of the nomadic scene of herders scattering in groups is destined to be unseen, as stated in "Mulan Poetry": I saw a military post yesterday, and the Khan ordered a large number of soldiers, and the twelve volumes of military books, and the master's name was named after the volume! Cao Cao kept his word. Half a month ago, he sent another military order to Guihua City. He transferred Zhong Yao's troops in Chang'an to prepare to attack Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, and at the same time, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang from Bingzhou were in charge of 30,000 people to go out of Hedong to meet with Zhong Yao.
Then last autumn, Wang Hou and Guilty sent people to Yecheng to complain. This year, General Cao did not forget to join him, and the Xianbei tribe in Guihua City was also in the ranks of recruitment.
Later generations had a saying about the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. The Hu people joined the army to fight, and the Han people cultivated land to transport food. Therefore, fewer and fewer Hu people fought in the war. On the contrary, more and more Han people farmed. To be honest, this view was not true in the era of Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. It was still as stated in the "Mulan Poetry", whether the Hu family or the Han family had to go to war after receiving military books.
However, in Guihua City, this one is still established! This time, Wang Hou was dispatched to the Third Mixed Brigade of Liaodong. Half of the military structures were from the Marine tribe and the Goguryeo who lured and defected. The Liaodong Knights were also mixed with many Xianbei Wuhuan people. In addition, Wang Hou also recruited 20,000 followers in various divisions, and a 30,000 army carried 70,000 horses. In addition, 10,000 were also mixed with Goguryeo, Xianbei, and Han people's strong men followed him. Now he has really built his command into a multi-national joint force.
However, except for the Xianbei cavalry recruited, Wang Hou's core troops were brainwashed. Just like the British in later generations fooled Nepalese scimitars, they instilled a sense of honor in them and made them feel that they were civilized Han people, which was completely different from the tribe who had eaten raw meat and drank blood before.
Of course, in recent years, there have been many pigs raised, and the feces were pulled enough, and after the production of gunpowder increased, Wang Hou did not forget to pull up the cannons that he had finally made. He brought two cannons with a one-ton long-body tube, and then made pig iron. The little tiger squat cannon that could be hung directly on the horse brought more than 200 kilograms of horses, and Wang Hou's new invention, and four Wang's crossbow chariots.
Even if the weight is reduced, this thing weighs one and a half tons. The surface is even more than that of Guanneihou, and the front and back of the horses will pull this thing.
Although Sun Shangxiang had no share when he went on the battle this time, he had to stand upstairs with his heavier waist and watch Wang Hou leave, but the little girl's cheeks were particularly sweet by love. Before leaving, Wang Hou gave her a romantic gift.
Glass!
This time traveler money-making artifact was finally remembered by Wang Hou. However, the steelmaking technology level in Liaodong has improved, and it is not as difficult as imagined to be burned. I found a team of people and tried to adjust the proportions of the collected quartz stone, limestone, feldspar and alkaline surfaces produced in the northwest salt lake. After more than three months of experimenting, the nearly transparent glass was finally burned out.
However! The firing technology is OK, but the cooling technology really does not meet the standard. A large piece of glass that is several meters long in later generations was really unable to cool down. The coldest thing was cracked directly, so I had to settle for the second best, reduce the size of the glass to the size of the bench, and then use painted wood to frame the windows.
Even so, it was much better than the window paper I had posted before. When leaning against the bed, Sun Shangxiang clearly saw Wang Houzai explaining the things in the mansion with Lu Ji, the head of the family. He suddenly raised his head thoughtfully, looked at her looking forward to it, and then laughed and waved his slap.
However, his pretty face turned red, and Miss Sun was so angry that she disdained her little head.
…………
After finishing his housework, he took the cavalry out of the city and joined the army he had already assembled. This time, all the forty-four Xianbei surnames arrived again. Because Wang Hou didn't talk much to them before going to war, he told them directly that Ma Chao and Qiang people had gone to take revenge, and he didn't even mention Zhang Lu at all.
It is a deep hatred to be unable to get along with his own money! Last year, Ma Chao's robbery made this year's Guihua City not form a new caravan until now. Whether it is the Han merchants or the Xianbei chiefs, they are eager to reopen the Western Regions trade routes.
Before we knew it, Wang Hou broke the old tribal barriers and relied on business to make money to control different regions under his command. The policy of "everyone" may have different languages and looks different, but the money is always the same! This time, the Han Chinese merchants also paid a lot of arms to buy and directly equipped the Xianbei cavalry, which brought the relationship between the two tribes closer.
However! As soon as he arrived at the military camp, the two uninvited guests gave Wang Houpo a headache and knocked on his head.
One Deng Ai! Changle is not yet old enough to Wang Hou to ask for. With a thrill of eyes, Xiao Niu Niu sent Deng Ai, who was a few years older than him, to the front line first and stared at Wang Hou.
Deng Ai was originally smart and studious, and with such a good stage as Liaodong Military Academy, he should be much better than the same period in history in terms of ability. However, after so many years, his dull personality has not changed at all. Seeing Wang Hou riding a horse with a high spirit, his face turned red, but he hugged his fists nervously and stumbled several times, but he didn't stutter that complete sentence.
"Deng Ai..., beg..., beg... see..."
"Don't pay a visit! Follow me and my personal soldiers! Starting today, you will be the general's staff officer. Go and meet your colleagues later!"
After sending Deng Ai away with one sentence, Wang Hou asked again with a sad face and depressedly.
"I said, "The Third Young Master, Taiyu has given you all, why are you here to do?"
What a good guy, he really deserves to be Cao Cao's kindness! The usual style of a good wife! As the inner girl of Wang's family, Taiyu was almost the Nth mistress to Wang Hou, the male master, but Wang Hou unknowingly asked this kid to pry it off. Just last month, this guy made the little girl's belly sleep, and then came over to ask for it with confidence.
Then Cao Zhang squeezed into his army again with a silly face.
Listening to Wang Hou's sad questions, the third young master of the Cao family stood up with confidence.
"Brother-in-law, do you think I am willing to come? My sister sent me here! You can't let my brother-in-law make a private love for you on the battlefield for life! My sister doesn't know yet!"
In addition to being a good wife, Cao Zhang also inherited Cao Cao's fine traditions in social circles. He came with the army not as the third son of Cao, but as the commander of the Xianbei Heba tribe! God knows how he impressed Lao Heba and asked him, a Han man, to command more than 1,000 cavalry numbers of his tribe.
This guy Yi Ju was speechless and irritated. Wang Hou waved his slap again sadly.
"Get into the army!"
"I will obey the order!"
It took a long time since such a big military operation was carried out. Whether it was the Xianbei or the Han people, they seemed quite excited, and they were so excited that they left these two uninvited guests. They were on the outskirts of the city and killed the white horses and sacrificed their cavalry in front of the soldiers. They also described Ma Chao as a bully who steals children's candy and teases the old lady. General Wang is the leader of the righteous army and fights against the unjust!
As his last nonsense fell, fierce war drums roared. After the expedition to Guihua City, the Liaodong Army Group expanded again for a long distance, which kicked off!
Chapter completed!
