Chapter 587 Barbarian Soldiers

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Xu Jing's heart was thunderous and said quickly: "This is after Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang last year. Xun Yu proposed that the Wei minister take over the position of a different master. Later, the Prime Minister wrote to ask the Wei minister that he was willing to take over the position of a different master, or that he was willing to return to the court to serve as a senior farmer, but the Wei minister refused."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, "Actually, I hope Mr. Xu will return to the court to serve as the Grand Chief Agricultural Officer."

Xu Jing was stunned. After a while, he hesitated and asked: "Why did the governor of the state say this?"

"Mr. Xu must not think that I am driving people. On the contrary, Mr. Xu is my most valued subordinate. I suggest Mr. Xu to return to the court, which is actually to realize one of my major plans, or I hope Mr. Xu will stay in the court as my representative."

Xu Jing nodded silently. He finally understood what Liu Jing meant. Liu Jing wanted to put himself in the court as his representative and his eyes.

Xu Jing has experienced many twists and turns, and he has become very realistic. It is not impossible to go to the court, but he needs to clarify his future status.

After all, he is already sixty years old and his career has not been long. It is very likely that his position in the court will be his last destination, so he needs Liu Jing to clarify his final status, which is related to his grandson.

Of course, Xu Jing would not say this kind of thing openly. It should have been Liu Jing's initiative to raise it, not him, but Liu Jing may not realize it, and he could only hint.

After a moment of silence, Xu Jing said slowly: "I am already in my sixties. Although I am willing to serve the provincial governor, I am afraid that I have the will but lack the ability. In the end, I will miss the major affairs of the provincial governor. Please ask the provincial governor to have a lot of heart."

Liu Jing heard what Xu Jing meant, that is, he was old and might not be able to do it for a few years, and hoped that he could give him an explanation. Liu Jing understood what Xu Jing meant, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, my eyes are on the world, not Jing and Yizhou. Mr. Xu's achievements are very clear in my heart, and I will never be wronged Mr. Xu."

Xu Jing was overjoyed and quickly gave a deep tribute, "The old minister is willing to do his best to serve the provincial governor."

.........

In the afternoon, after Liu Jing finished handling official duties, he explained a few things to Yin Jing, and left the general's mansion and headed towards the military camp outside the northern city. The Han army stationed 100,000 troops around Chengdu, divided into four camps, including Beidaying as the main camp, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres and nearly 50,000 troops stationed.

It was the busiest afternoon. The streets of Chengdu were bustling with pedestrians. Especially inside and outside the largest city in Yizhou, there were merchants gathering. There were groups of guests holding large and small bags everywhere, and ox carts were loaded with goods. There were many taverns and shops in this area. The shouts on both sides of the street were heard one after another, which was also the busiest place in Chengdu.

Liu Jing was sitting in a wide carriage, staring at the scene on both sides of the street through the curtains. At this time, he suddenly heard a noise. He slightly lifted the curtains and saw a famous barbarian soldier running out of a tavern. Everyone was wearing leather armor, bare arms, golden rings in earlobes, braided hair, bowed and arrows on his back, and long swords on his waist, looking very fierce.

Behind them, five or six bartenders were chasing, carrying kitchen knives and iron rods, pointing at the barbarians and scolding loudly. Soon, people were surrounded by people watching the fun. The barbarians' face was swollen and flushed their arms excitedly, screaming loudly, not knowing what they were calling.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the tavern ran out of the gate, covered his bleeding nose, and cursed with anger: "This is not Manjiang, I want to have a bastard meal, dream."

He shouted to everyone around him: "Everyone judged it. The barbarian soldier ordered a table of dishes and tasted them a little, and then said that it was not the dish they wanted, and he would leave without paying money. What is this?

Everyone around was making noise, accusing the famous barbarian soldiers of being rude. One of them was a little familiar with Chinese and stuttered: "If we are not satisfied with our rules, we can not pay for money, which is not satisfactory."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing. This rule might not work anywhere. At this moment, a team of patrol soldiers rushed over. The shopkeeper of the tavern rushed forward to complain. He was furious for the garrison leader and ordered his subordinates to "take them away."

A dozen soldiers rushed up, pulled the barbarians and left. The barbarians looked at each other, and at the same time broke free from the soldiers' hands, turned around and ran away. The patrol soldiers chased them from behind and shouted loudly: "Stop."

At this time, the famous barbarian soldier took off his bow and arrow, and turned around and shot arrows while running. The arrow was extremely accurate, and the arrow shot into the legs of the patrol soldiers. In just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground, but no arrow was shot. The famous barbarian soldier accelerated and ran without a trace after turning around.

Liu Jing's guard was furious and was about to urge the horse to chase him, but Liu Jing stopped them, "No need to chase him."

Liu Jing watched the patrol soldiers get up from the ground, limping, and feeling quite embarrassed. He was a little surprised that these barbarian soldiers had such accurate archery techniques. At this time, a general rushed over with several soldiers. It was Wang Ping, and it seemed that he was the officer on duty.

"Call General Wang"

A guard rushed over and found Wang Ping. It happened to be Wang Ping on duty today. He heard that the patrol soldiers had a conflict with the barbarians. The soldiers suffered a loss. He hurriedly led a large group of soldiers to come. The barbarians were gone, but unexpectedly they met the provincial governor.

Wang Ping was a little nervous and hurriedly walked to the carriage to salute, "I am not aware of the state governor."

Liu Jing lifted the curtain and asked with a smile: "Is General Wang on duty today to patrol the city?"

"It is a humble position, and the patrol is not effective, which leads to the barbarians causing trouble. Please punish the state governor."

"I can see the process before and after, and you have nothing to do with it, but I want to go to the small military camp in Nancheng, and you can follow me with your brothers."

"It's a humble duty to obey the order."

Wang Ping ran back to summon the soldiers, and Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Change and go to the small military camp outside the southern city."

The carriage slowly turned around and drove towards the south city gate. Wang Ping rode a horse and followed more than five soldiers and cavalry guards, and the group rushed towards the south city gate.

The small military camp is also called the Fan camp. It is specially stationed for guard soldiers led by ethnic minorities. It covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres and can be stationed about a thousand people. Next to the small military camp is the Nandaying of Chengdu, with nearly 20,000 troops.

This time Meng Huo came to Chengdu to apologize and brought a total of five barbarian soldiers. Liu Jing agreed to enter the city, and the other four were stationed in the small military camp. The barbarian soldier who caused trouble was naturally one of the famous barbarian soldiers entering the city.

Liu Jing came to the small military camp not to raise an army to ask for punishment. Such a small matter would not make him worry. He was surprised by the famous barbarian soldiers' archery skills. I wonder if the barbarian soldiers outside the city also had such sharp archery skills.

Of course, when the Han army attacked Bashu, there were barbarian soldiers fighting and annihilated tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers. However, Liu Jing knew the reason very well. Although the barbarian soldiers were very good at fighting alone, they had poor training and had no rules when conducting large-scale battles. Once they encountered a strong enemy, their morale would easily collapse.

The reason why Liu Jing suddenly became interested in the barbarian soldiers was because he had an idea, and the appearance of the barbarian soldiers was just right.

In the small military camp, several barbarian soldiers were training in pairs, some were fighting each other, some were shooting arrows, and many soldiers were sitting on the ground and adjusting their bows and arrows. At this time, a large group of Han troops suddenly entered the military camp. The barbarian soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked at these uninvited guests in shock.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers led the way for the general. He spoke fluently in Chinese and bowed, "What's the matter?"

Wang Ping urged him to come forward and said coldly: "The carriage is Liuzhou's master, and you can't come forward to see you."

The barbarian leader was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "See the Lord of Liuzhou."

Liu Jing got out of the carriage and smiled and said, "This general is exempt from gifts. I'm here to see you."

"Thank you for your relationship with the state and the governor, but my king is in the city."

"It's okay, I will meet your king tomorrow. Let's see the soldiers today, what is the general called?"

"The following is named Guduo, and he is the leader."

Leading the army is equivalent to the captain of the Han army. He is already a high-ranking official in the barbarian army. Liu Jing nodded. He looked at several soldiers who were stunned and smiled and said, "I have heard of the archery skills of barbarian soldiers for a long time. Can I see it?"

The barbarians had a total branch, claiming to be Shengman, Shuman and Dongman. The guard of the siege Zhu Bao was Shengman and the leader, and was completely wiped out in Ba County. Meng Huo was Shuman and lived in Jianning County and Xinggu County, while Dongman mainly lived in Jiaozhou.

Although the territory of the two barbarians living in different ways, Liu Jing massacred Shengman in Ba County, reducing the number of barbarians Ding Rui by 60%. Meng Huo took the opportunity to annex Shengman. The two barbarians merged into one, and their power expanded northward to Jingwang County. This time, Meng Huo came to pay homage to Liu Jing. In a big way, he hoped that Liu Jing could recognize his power to expand northward.

Since Liu Jing had the requirements, Guduo immediately arranged for soldiers to perform, and the barbarians lined up to shoot arrows. They were not cavalry, but were shooting arrows while running. Archery was precise, and they ran like the wind, each with fierce and bravery, and quite imposing.

Liu Jing applauded gently, and asked with a smile: "The five people who went north should be the guards of the Barbarian King. Is that true to be brave men selected from the army?"

Guduo shook his head, "Qi Bingzhou Governor, the barbarians make a living by hunting. The man was six years old and had to follow the team to hunt deep mountains after he was ten years old. Every soldier was a warrior who could fight with beasts. Arrowing skills were essential skills. These soldiers were not selected for their bravery, but because they were with the Barbarian King clan."

"So that's it. I wonder if the Baiyi people are good at hunting?"

Guduo smiled and said, "Baiyi is the head of women, mainly fishing and collecting. Although men also hunt, they are far inferior to us. Because they will not starve to death if they cannot catch prey, they will not fight as hard as we do. We call them Huayinan."

At this moment, a group of barbarian soldiers ran in from outside the gate. He was a man of black face in his teens, wearing iron armor, a big red hero cloak, a bronze crown, and two long wild pheasant tail hairs. This person was the Barbarian King Meng Huo.

In fact, Meng Huo has half of the Han ancestry. His ancestors were a Qin general in Zhao Tuo's army. His family has always been a powerful man in Jianping County. Meng Huo's mother was the sister of Gao Ding, the son of the King of Man. He married the daughter of the King of Man as his wife. The King of Man was completely unbearable. After his death, he appointed Meng Huo as the new generation of King of Man.

A beautiful and charming woman wearing a flower crown behind him was his wife, Mrs. Zhurong. Meng Huo just heard that Liu Jing appeared in the military camp outside the city, and he was so scared that he hurriedly brought his wife to the ceremony.

Meng Huo and his wife knelt down and bowed to Liu Jing, "The wilderness barbarian Meng Huo and his wife pay homage to the governor of the state."

Liu Jing quickly helped the two of them up and apologized: "It should be that I met you in the General's Mansion Hall, not here. I have neglected you."

Meng Huo bowed and said, "We should be visiting the provincial governor, not the provincial governor to come to the military camp. This is our misconduct."

Liu Jing smiled, "Since that's the case, we should not be rude to each other. When we meet, sit down and talk about how it will happen."

Mrs. Zhurong next to her has a very good impression of Liu Jing. She looks at this world-famous hero from the perspective of a woman. She is tall, brave, cheerful, and so young. I'm afraid this is the husband that every woman longs to marry, but unfortunately she doesn't have this blessing.

Having a good impression in my heart, Mrs. Zhurong also laughed sweetly and said, "I like the pleasure of the provincial governor, please do so."

"please"

When the man walked into the tent, Meng Huo and his wife asked Liu Jing to sit in the main seat again. The two sat down under Liu Jing. Meng Huo sighed and said, "In fact, the barbarians and the Bashu Han people have lived in harmony for several years, but because of Yong Kai's greed and cruelty, the robbery and killing of Ba County last year. To be honest, I hate Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and others very much. They destroyed the harmony between the Yi barbarians and the Han people. This time I came to Chengdu to pay homage to the prefectures in the hope of restoring the former peace."

Liu Jing had a polite smile on his face. In fact, he knew very well that when Yong Kai led his army north, there was a small part of Meng Huo's army in the team. Now Meng Huo refused to admit it. He spoke very beautifully and pushed all the blame to Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and others.

But this is politics. Everything must be looked forward. Holding the hatred of the past will not have a good result. Liu Jing also hopes that Meng Huo is saying his sincere words.

He smiled faintly and said, "The reason why the tragedy of national vendetta occurs is that we cannot look at the appearance, we must see deep problems. Why can we live in harmony for several years? Now it is incompatible? Where can we find the reason and solve the problem? This is the way to consolidate the foundation, the Barbarian King thinks."
