Chapter 501
It is not a battle, and the number of deaths on both sides is less than 200.

But the consequences are dire.The battle with Dayan was shocking, and more than 100 million shi of grain flowed into Bashu, and the response was dead silence.

Not a single minister in the court took the initiative to speak.

On the other side, Xin Nuoluo was still jumping up and down. After hearing that Wang Hua got the food, the army retreated and hid in Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan and could not come out.

Wang Hua also ignored him, the first snow began to fall in the northwest, and it was not time to fight.But when the food came, the army and the people of the eight states were at peace.The elders of each tribe have sharper eyes. The food they get depends on how much they have. The Northwest census shows how many people there are, and how much food is produced in the Northwest. Now the food is not only enough, but more than that.

This time no one panicked and worried.

Wang Hua didn't relax immediately, and the water conservancy work was still going on. Although the weather was cold, most of the people here were Tibetans, and their bodies were hardy. In addition, the arrival of food encouraged people's hearts, but the speed of water conservancy accelerated.This is very important. The population has increased by more than half. Now as much water conservancy has been built, as many fields can be plowed. With the fields, we can plant crops next spring.Nor can Wang Hualao be expected to grab food.Can it be such a good thing next time?
Theoretically, next spring can still be used for a while, but turning up the soil now with a plow will have the same effect as next spring. Once it freezes, it will become crispy soil, which is not only suitable for planting crops, but also effective for weeding and pest control.

Why is Wang Hua not capable of inventing herbicides, so we still use hoes to weed.Not only that, but Wang Hua had to ask the old farmers to teach them, otherwise the people who migrated would probably scatter the seeds in the ground like they did in Tubo, and rely on the sky to harvest them.

There are many things to prepare.There is even more land in the circle, not to grow crops, but also to grow bamboo and various flowers in the mountainous area. Wang Hua has quietly transported the perfume to the capital. The quantity is very small and the varieties are few. They are picking some wild flowers in autumn , such as various chrysanthemums, sweet-scented osmanthus, and crape myrtle and roses with a long flowering period. Some flowers are still in bloom, such as cockscomb, etc., but the fragrance is not strong and has no extraction value.

The quantity is very small, and this is for experimentation. Apart from sending some, including to Oceania, to Li Hong and the others, there are also some well-connected tribes, and only a small part of them are left.The Taiyuan Wang family shipped in a small glass bottle that was custom-made in Oceania. There are some exquisite patterns on the body of the bottle, and the bottle mouth is a simple spray stopper made of vegetable glue and peach wood.In later generations, this small bottle should not be thrown away after use to prevent people's feet from being pricked.But at this time, the small bottle alone is worth a lot.

About four to five hundred bottles were transported to the capital, but the price has not been fixed, and some shops that got it are put on the price, as the treasure of the town shop, for customers to watch.Of course, it couldn't be kept for long, and they were all given away in the end.How much is a bottle, ask Zhang San, Li Si, don't know.

Then I couldn't find it again.

It's not that there are no flowers in winter, but in the south and northwest, there are very few flowers that bloom in this cold weather.You can't rely on wild flowers, because the quantity can't form economic benefits.Therefore, artificial planting, fortunately, exclusive management, no worries about benefits.

Bamboo does not take up space, it can be planted in barren mountains and wild ridges, and most of the flowers must be fertile fields.There are also beets, which are also easy to grow, and can grow even on saline soil.But it really can't be planted on saline-alkali land. To be profitable, fertile land is needed.

Therefore, these measures will bring earth-shaking changes to the eight states, and even if the imperial court wants to block it, it cannot be blocked. It can be exported to Turks, Tubo, or to Tuqishi, Tuluo Kingdom and Dashi further west.But there is a premise, to Tian.

So even though the weather was cold, the hearts of the people were warm. Wang Hua took advantage of the heat and continued to ask them to repair water conservancy projects and turn over the fields.

For this matter, Wang Hua only formulated a general policy, which was carried out by his subordinates, including the distribution of food.You can't give it away for free. The first thing to do is to do things, and the second is to depend on loyalty.

Then Wang Hua presided over the second matter, the expansion of the army.With a population base, food, and an unstable surrounding environment, Wang Hua began to expand his army for the second time.But in order not to delay production, there was not much expansion, only [-] to a few thousand people.

This time the military expansion was not as cold as the first time, and all ethnic groups responded.

Many tribes of the original Eight States have begun to regret it.Take a look at the more than [-] tribes, Wang Hua sent captives and supplies, which clearly intended to repay ten times and a hundred times. As long as he supports them, it will be difficult for these tribes not to grow stronger after a few years.As for the originally relatively tough tribe, Wang Hua has already begun to deliberately suppress them.Or migrate again, which one has the guts?
But Wang Hua did not accept their affection this time.

The expanded army is mainly composed of Wubu and Tuyuhun people. They either came to seek refuge with Wang Hua, or they had shown high loyalty and cooperation.Wang Hua, the soldiers of these tribes, is also at ease, and they now account for a large number of people in Bazhou.In fact, as long as they are tied to the chariot, the territory of the eight states will naturally settle down.

This is a network of relationships, but Wang Hua's military expansion this time has very high requirements for the quality of soldiers.Also because of the large number of people who responded, Wang Hua had a choice.After ten days of busy work, the number of troops has been fixed. In addition to the expansion of 1 people, there are also 5 people transferred from Oceania. The original 7000 soldiers brought the total number of troops to more than [-].

Wang Hua began to form a military system, first established the Seventh Army, the Tang Dynasty used the government soldiers as a unit, Wang Hua abandoned it, there was no larger establishment, and the command was somewhat chaotic during large-scale battles.Each army has 1 people, of course it will continue to expand in the future, and the army will still be the highest unit, but the number of soldiers in an army will continue to increase.

The name of the Seventh Army still comes from the Seven Star Big Dipper, although once again it reminds people of Pian Pian and Quanzhen Sect.But Wang Hua is changed to another name, others don't know?
The first is the Tianshu Army, stationed in Shanzhou, which is the base camp of the Blood Camp, led by Ge Shuhan. Among the Big Dipper, the Tianshu Star dominates the sky, dominates Yangde, and is the righteous star.It is easy to understand that Geshuhan was stationed in Shanzhou. Hululing fought against Tubo soldiers face to face. Now that a powerful enemy has come, Geshuhan is undoubtedly the best candidate to station in Shanzhou.

But when Ge Shuhan heard that he named the [-] troops under his jurisdiction the Tianshu Army, he was stunned for a moment.

After all, in the hearts of generals in the blood camp, besides Wang Hua, Kong Heizi is the number two figure.One is the veteran of Xueying, and the other is Master Wang Hua.

He looked around suspiciously, but Wang Hua didn't speak, Kong Heizi kicked him, and said, "Boy, hurry up and laugh, don't disappoint the commander's hope for you."

He ran to the side and laughed, and after the distribution was over, he was still chattering in front of Xue Song and the others, driving Xue Song to death.It's not for an empty name, but once Wang Hua designates Ge Shuhan's army as the Tianshu Army, he will transfer the most elite soldiers for him to squander.

The second army is equally important, the Shaker Army.Yaoguang star, also known as Pojun star, is a soldier star in the Big Dipper, and there are many legends about it in mythology.This was led by Kong Heizi, and some people in Ge Shuhan were still bitter, but none of Kong Heizi dared to compete with him.This is stationed in Yinzhou.

Yinzhou was defending against Turkic invasion, and it happened that Kong Heizi had experience in fighting Turkic people many times.On the seven-star map, the Pojun star is also right at the end of the spoon.It is very similar to the terrain of Zhongyin State in Eight States.

Once the two most important armies are settled down, the other five will be easy to handle.Wang Junchuo's Tianxuan Army is stationed in Hezhou.Breaking it down logically, among the seven stars, Tianxuan star is the magic star, and the main land and yin are the third most important.There is also no objection to this, Wang Junchuo's age was exactly that year, and he had accumulated a reputation from Mo Hegan.And Hezhou's defense is also very important, none other than him.

Then there is Lanzhou, the Tianji Army, Tianji Star is the male star, the master is the scourge, and it is led by Guo Qianguan.This army is equally important. He not only guards the movement of the court, but also responds to Hezhou.At the same time, Comrade Da Guo fought in the valley and slaughtered [-] Tibetans, not even the horses. He himself was a scourge.

The fifth army is the Celestial Army.The star of Tianquan is the cutting star, which governs time, governs the law of heaven, and cuts off the way.It was placed in the place where Huizhou and Shanzhou communicated.Mainly responding to Shanzhou, supplemented by defending Lao Guo.We have to guard against it, although Lao Guo is now a hero who knows current affairs.But Wang Hua also heard the news that the Tubo envoy had appeared in Lizhou, a woman like Webster could do anything.

If she can confuse Li Xian to collude with Tubo and attack from both sides.Then he issued a death order to force Lao Guo to send troops. If he defended himself, Lao Guo would find a way to refuse to delay.If he doesn't defend himself in Huizhou, it is possible that he will take the opportunity to enter and take his backyard.

Xue Song was still a little reluctant, but Wang Hua analyzed Guan Jian among them, and also said that this is only a temporary allocation, and now it is mainly for military training.Once there is a battle, is it true that the [-] troops of Ge Shuhan and Wang Junchuo will go to war against Tubo?Or let Kong Heizi use [-] troops to fight the Turks?
Then we arrived at the Yuheng army. Yuheng star is the center of the star-killing master, living on all sides.Stationed in Yanzhou.This was led by Zhang Shougui.But Zhang Shougui didn't complain, don't think that staying in Yanzhou will be all right.Even when the Tang Dynasty attacked Bazhou, most of them launched the attack from Lanzhou. Even if the attack was launched from Youzhou to attack Yanzhou, it is estimated that the scale was not large because of the inconvenience of the heavy terrain and travel factors.But it would be wrong to think this way, and it would also live up to the title of Yuheng Xingju Center.

The number one thing about this army is speed.Where there is danger, we must immediately rush to where to support.So higher quality is required.

The last army was the Kaiyang Army, led by Wu Keli.Kaiyang star is a dangerous star, and it is in charge of grains in Tiancang.This army is stationed in the northern part of Lingzhou to protect the safety of Lingzhou.Because of Lingzhou's geographical location and the fact that it was originally the largest state capital among the eight states, Wang Hua had actually positioned it as the top of the eight states.Not only defending the safety of Lingzhou, but also supporting Yinzhou.This appointment is beyond reproach. Ukeli is originally a Khitan, and is very familiar with the Turkic people.

Of course, each army has to be subdivided.It is still different from the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Ten people are fire instead of five people, and the squad is cancelled.Ten fires form a team.Ten teams form a group.If the army expands further, Wang Hua also intends to use 5000 people as the guard.In this way, the establishment needs of the barracks are met.

In addition to these seven armies, there are four brigades, named after the four elephants.The Qinglong brigade was led by Gongsun Yun, and it was also the largest brigade, with a total of 5000 people. It was active in the area from Yuanzhou to Lingzhou and Yanzhou, training troops, handling emergencies, and responding to the safety of Yuanzhou.

The White Tiger Brigade was led by Liu Tong and was stationed between Lanzhou and Hezhou. It was also defending the imperial court and facing Hezhou.This had to be done, because of the hostilities with Tubo, the focus had been on the south.

The Suzaku brigade was led by Wang Hua himself. It was placed on the west bank of the Yellow River in Lingzhou to increase the defense thickness in the north. At the same time, it also prevented some backward nomads in the desert from invading after seeing the prosperity of Bazhou.

The Xuanhu Brigade was led by Mo Hegan and was stationed in the middle of the two prefectures of Heshan.Mo Hegan not only commanded the army, but also handled government affairs like Wang Hua.In fact, he, Wang Hua, Kong Heizi, and Zhu Dian became the four giants of the blood camp, although Zhu Dian did not lead the army.

It's not that the task is over when the seven armies and four brigades are divided. On the contrary, after the division, there are more things to do. How to divide the soldiers is also a headache.There is one more thing to do.Wang Hua really wanted to use nomadic herdsmen in leisure time and soldiers in wartime, which saved a lot of expenses, but he couldn't adopt it.

Because of food and land, Wang Hua plans to focus on farming soon.Without nomadism, if this method is used, the combat effectiveness will inevitably be reduced.Therefore, it is better to gather them together, one is to be able to train properly, and the other is to stay together and get familiar with each other, so that they can cooperate with each other in combat.But in order to save costs, in addition to training, farming must also be done.Otherwise, it would also be a heavy burden for the [-] to [-] troops to open their stomachs.Even if they could afford it, they couldn't. Wang Hua was very worried about the food this time.

After half a month of busy work, the reorganization is finally completed.

Originally, the morale was high, and the physical fitness was very high. This reorganization is more organized.Then after training, the combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be significantly improved again.

Now there are many scouts in Bazhou, some from Tubo, some from the Tang Dynasty, and Lao Guo quietly sent people over to check it out.

Facing such an army, and thinking about its naming, the Big Dipper was originally the master of death, and almost everyone felt a murderous aura rushing towards their faces.

It is not without negative effects. As the blood camp showed its sharp minions, especially in the early morning siege of the city, especially Jingzhou, which is only separated from Chang'an by Binzhou and Xianyang, and there is also a Wei River, the court is very nervous. A large number of troops were stationed in Taozhou, Weizhou, Qingzhou and other states.These troops are not fatal at present, but once Wang Hua encounters a crisis, Wang Hua does not doubt that they will stab a sharp knife in the back.

But in the eyes of the imperial court, Wang Hua, who had grown up, also posed a fatal danger to them.

After dispatching the troops, Li Xian took the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and ran to Luoyang again.Staying in Chang'an is too dangerous.It is estimated that he will stay in Luoyang and start his family to settle down, and he will not return to Chang'an.

But Wang Hua received another piece of good news, and his subordinates brought Feng Changqing.

This made Wang Hua very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it. Feng Changqing is just a soldier guarding the city gate. If he behaves too grandly, it will make people feel weird.So I asked the servants in the family to buy a wild roe deer, made a four-dimensional hot pot, and put a lot of peppers in it.This year, peppers are grown in many places, and they are no longer sold as they were last year.Although it is still expensive, it is still very popular in cold or humid places.

Then they called Ukeli who was stationed in the north, Zhang Shougui from Yanzhou, as well as Zhu Dian and Xiaomi. It could be considered a small family feast.By the way, let Feng Changqing come over and have dinner together.

In fact, he let out the news very early on, saying that his subordinates accidentally encountered a young general who was familiar with the art of war in Hucheng.Did not say he was a soldier.Then brought him over.Call Zhang Shougui and Wu Keli, the meal is fake, this is a chance for Feng Changqing to stand out.

He's not very old, and he's new here. He used to be a soldier, so it's hard for him to be recognized by the soldiers of the current fierce general Ru Yunxue.

He himself wanted to test him, after all, Feng Changqing was still a little younger now, and when he became famous, he would be in his 30s.

Only Zhu Dian knew a little bit of the inside story, and asked Wang Hua, would this Xiao Feng have stage fright?

Wang Hua shook her head. Some people are introverted, and when they encounter certain situations, they will be stage frightened, or they will not say a word.But Feng Changqing would not.He has read history books and heard the names of some generals in the blood camp, but his deeds are not very clear.But some people, such as Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing, he knows their history very well.When he was in his thirties, he volunteered to be a servant under Gao Xianzhi's family.Don't think servant is an insult.Xiang Wanghua wants to recruit servants, and those who are absolutely willing can be arranged from Lingzhou to Yanzhou.

Gao Xianzhi was startled when he saw his appearance, and immediately kicked him out.The next day Feng Changqing came again, Gao Xianzhi was furious, he reprimanded: "I have kicked you out, why are you bothering me again?"

He was angry, and Feng Changqing got excited, and retorted plausibly: "I heard that you are high-minded, and you came to vote today because of your reputation, why did you refuse! Yea!"

One sentence made Gao Xianzhi's rebuttal speechless.

But Gao Xianzhi still did not accept him.Okay, don't accept it, yes, Feng Changqing did it more simply, moved the bedding, and slept at the gate of Gao's house. This sleep lasted for dozens of days. Gao Xianzhi made him feel like a fairy, and finally had to accept him. .But he still hasn't been reused, but the hero will eventually come out of the bag.

So it means that this person has courage. This is a good way to say it, and it is not a good way to say that this person has a thick skin.

Stage fright?Most of them have nothing to do with Feng Changqing.

And he himself would like to see Cen Shen's "The Western Suburbs of Beiting, Doctor Feng Receives the Return of the Army and Presents", "Zou Ma Chuan Xing Sends Doctor Feng to the West", "Luntai Song Sends Doctor Feng to the West", "Showing Doctor Feng Breaks the Broadcast" He is the protagonist in famous poems such as "Six Chapters of the Song of Immortals", "Climbing the North Tower of the Beiting and Presenting the Lords in the Curtain".

A few people sat down and sent someone to call Feng Changqing over, but they were still left in the cold until now, it was because of agitation.This is an intelligent person, and he cannot send his subordinates to go directly, saying that Wang Hua invited him.He couldn't believe it, he was far away in Hucheng, and he was not very old. Could it be that Wang Hua was able to count when he slept at home at night, and that there was a talent in Hucheng, that was himself, and then sent someone thousands of miles away Solemnly welcome.Can you believe it?

So I sent someone to deliberately contact him, and then encouraged him to come, saying that you have great military talent, why are you still a small soldier.To guide him to feel that these people are not willing to be ordinary people, and then seduce him, saying that the king of Bazhou has a wise eye and discerns pearls, why didn't he come to Bazhou?
As soon as this brother heard it was reasonable, he really took pity on Xiaobao, slipped out of Hucheng, and came to Lingzhou.With a cheeky face, she ran to Wang Hua's mansion and put up a greeting card. Wang Hua opened it and saw that although it was a greeting, the writing on the card was neither arrogant nor humble, with a bit of air.But they ignored him and waited for a few days until Zhang Shougui rushed to Lingzhou from Yanzhou, and then called him together.

People are coming, but everyone is looking at each other in blank dismay.It doesn't matter if a person is thin, like Zhu Dian is very thin, but elegantly thin.This Xiaofeng was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was at the prime of his life, but he looked like an opium devil, not to mention that he squinted his eyes, his eyelids twitched when he spoke, and he was not very tall. , I don't know if it's because of fighting or born, one leg is a little lame.Combining these factors, if you put it in later generations, you don't need to make up to play the Han Dynasty.

Li Xuejun glanced at Wang Hua and thought, this is the talent you are looking for?

In fact, Wang Hua had already made mental preparations, but he was still shocked when he saw his appearance. No wonder Gao Xianzhi didn't want him later.It's too stylish.

Of course, Wang Hua would not let him go, and politely let him sit down.

But at this time, some clues could be seen. These people here are all famous, but Feng Changqing did not sit down calmly under any pressure.No pressure is false, especially Wang Hua, in the Western Regions, and this way, the topic of discussion is Wang Hua.

But he knew in his heart that if Wang Hua looked down on him if he behaved badly, he would lose this great opportunity.

Wang Hua asked his servants to bring wine, let him sit down to drink and talk, and talked about some military opinions. In fact, Wang Hua intentionally induced him to show his talent.As soon as they talked, everyone's eyes began to light up.This is also caused by preconceived ideas. Those who can enter the banquet of the king's painter will not be so weak if they want to be weak with Wang's ability to recognize people.Otherwise, with his appearance, if he goes to Zhang Shougui and does not drive him out, he will probably bring a one hundred catty big stone lock for Feng Changqing to lift.Aren't you going to join the army?After all, this bit of strength is needed.But with Feng Changqing's small body, if he doesn't need a hundred catties, he probably won't be able to lift fifty catties.

Zhang Shougui smacked Wang Hua's elbow.

Wang Hua turned his head and asked Zhang Shougui: "Commander Zhang, what's the matter?"

Because the imperial court did not have an imperial decree, nor did it have a staff of 1 people, Wang Hua could not make his own decisions and designate generals and generals, so the chief of the fire was still the chief of the fire, and the captain was still the captain. The word commander.There is no such thing in history, as long as everyone knows it well.

Zhang Shougui pointed to Feng Changqing: "I want this person."

The one who didn't want the talent, the generals who performed well in the last battle, the Seventh Army and the Four Brigades, except for Wang Hua and Mo Hegan, almost got into a fight.Even Kong Heizi joined in regardless of his bearing.

Just as he was talking, a soldier came in from outside to report that he had captured some treacherous people in the west of Lingzhou City.The army was reorganized, the weather was cold, the water conservancy project was basically completed, and all the tribes settled down.Wang Hua would not let various forces send a large number of scouts to investigate in his own territory, and began to sort out people of unknown origin in the territory.
But this time the target was different. One of the girls claimed to be the little princess of Xiang Wang's family.Needless to say, Li Chiying is the little princess in Xiangwang's family.If it was a veteran of the blood camp, everyone would know her, but this team is all new recruits. Although they heard the story of Li Chiying and Wang Hua, no one knew Wang Hua, so they came to report.

Zhu Tong rolled his eyes and thought, why are you always confused with the Li family?

Wang Hua also scratched her head, and said to the captain, "You bring her here."
