Meng Huo sighed, "One battle with a hundred people, General Wang is really a brave general!"

He also presented the sword to Liu Jing respectfully, "Why worry about the unfairness of the world if there is such a powerful general in the state?"

Although Meng Huo's words were flattering, Liu Jing was willing to hear such respectful words. He took the sword and smiled and said, "Although it is a bet, the Barbarian King is a guest from afar. How can I not express my feelings if I do it after all.

.”

He took the reins of the green horse and handed it to Meng Huo, "I will give this horse to the Barbarian King!"

Meng Huo was overjoyed. The southern Xinjiang did not produce war horses, and only had some animal power. He had always dreamed of getting a war horse. He thought there was no hope of losing a bet, but he didn't expect that Liu Jing gave him the BMW. He was so grateful that he gave him the gift.

, "Meng Huo remembers the kindness of the state's governor in his heart!"

At this time, Mrs. Zhurong took off a string of pearl necklace from her neck and bowed to Liu Jing, "Thank you, the provincial master for giving Ma Zhixiang. This is my gift to Mrs. Zhou Mu. Please store it!"

Meng Huo was secretly shocked. This string of pearls was the treasure of the barbarians and was one of the identity signs of the wife of the barbarian king in history. The wife actually presented it to Liu Jing. But since the wife had presented it, Meng Huo couldn't say anything else, so he had to secretly

Sighing.

Liu Jing did not realize the preciousness of this string of pearls, and he felt extremely cold when he started. In the hot summer, he felt very comfortable. Seeing that Mrs. Zhurong was quite sincere, he accepted it with a smile and asked her to give her back tomorrow.

A gift.

Liu Jing looked at Shichen and laughed at Meng Huo, "I still have to go to the military camp. We will meet officially tomorrow, so I will say goodbye first."

Meng Huo and his wife sent Liu Jing out of the military camp. Looking at Liu Jing's carriage away, Meng Huo's face sank, glared at his wife fiercely, turned around and walked towards the big tent. Mrs. Zhu Rong hurriedly got in with him, and she was also

He said angrily: "The moon pearl is something left by my mother. I have the right to deal with it. It is my intention to present it to the wife of the governor of the state. Why do you make an angry fire at me?"

Meng Huo said calmly: "I'm not angry about the Moon Pearl, but he wants to recruit five thousand barbarian soldiers. I don't want to agree. Why do you embarrass me?"

Meng Huo had the opportunity to become the Barbarian King because he married Mrs. Zhurong. He looked a bit like a son-in-law. Therefore, among the familiar barbarians, Mrs. Zhurong had a very high status. In the eyes of barbarians, she was the queen. It can be said that Meng Huo was just the nominal barbarian king.

, and Mrs. Zhurong is the real king, but outsiders don’t know this, including Liu Jing.

It is precisely for this reason that Mrs. Zhurong has great say in her voice, and she can express her opinion directly without her husband's consent. This is why Meng Huo was embarrassed just now.

There are no outsiders in the tent now, and Mrs. Zhurong doesn't have to take care of her husband's face. It's okay for Meng Huo to not mention the barbarian soldiers. When it comes to this matter, Mrs. Zhurong suddenly became angry and stared at her husband and shouted: "You think I don't know."

Are you thinking? You just want to keep your throne, but you don’t care about our barbarians’ lives or death. The barbarians have been poor for hundreds of years. Who has ever been in charge of our lives or death in the central court? Finally, a Han leader who cares about the barbarians, but you only consider your own.

Status, are you worthy of my father?”

Meng Huo saw his wife get angry, and he softened and sighed, "Because I know Liu Jing's thoughts, he wants to sinicize the barbarians and completely incorporate the barbarian territory into the Han territory. I am thinking about the future of the barbarians, you

But I don't appreciate it, hey!"

Mrs. Zhurong gradually calmed down and pondered for a while, saying: "You don't know how Liu Jing massacred the life and the black barbarians. He gave you the horse and proposed to improve the lives of the barbarians. This is to win over us, if we don't know

Interestingly, if we don’t agree to his request, we will probably end up the same as Shengman. Besides, we came to Chengdu for a pilgrimage this time to expand our power to the north of the Jingxian County. If you don’t make concessions, how could he agree? I think

You might as well give him this favor and then don’t have to pledge your child in Chengdu. Isn’t that good?”

Meng Huo heard what his wife said make sense. He thought about it and really didn't dare not refuse to agree. After a while, he sighed, "Okay! Tomorrow, we will use five thousand barbarians as conditions to exchange for our power to go north.

I hope Liu Jing can confer my title as the prefect of Liu Hun.”

.........

Liu Jing entered the city by carriage. He asked his personal soldiers to find Wang Ping. Wang Ping urged him to come forward and bowed in front of the car window, saying, "Prince, I am in the position of a man!"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "What does the Warrior card look like? Let me see?"

Wang Ping took out the barbarian warrior card, handed it to Liu Jing, and scratched his head and said, "I heard that the barbarian has five warrior cards in total, which is one of them. Although I lost to me, I am not a barbarian, so I still can't enjoy the warriors.

status."

Liu Jing looked at the Warrior card. It was actually made of turtle shells and carved with two dragons. It was quite exquisite. He returned the Warrior card to Wang Ping and smiled: "I plan to set up the Five Army of the Teeth Gate, prepare for

Appoint you as one of the five tooth goalkeepers and command five thousand barbarians, so that your Warrior card will be useful."

Yamen Army is Liu Jing's direct army, and Yamen Army is the direct general. Although the military position is not special, it is Liu Jing's confidant and has a bright future. Wang Ping was overjoyed and quickly bowed and said, "Wish

Serve to the state governor!”

However, Wang Ping was still a little regretful. The governor of the Zhou Dynasty actually asked him to command five thousand barbarians, which slightly dissatisfied his wishes.

.........

The establishment of the Yamen Army has always been a practice of the major princes. It is mainly to ensure emergency war mobilization and protect the safety of the princes. Most of the troops are between 10,000 and 20,000. For example, Cao Cao had 30,000 Yamen Army, and Liu Bei also had 5,000 Yamen.

The army, Sun Quan had 20,000 directly affiliated troops.

Liu Jing has not set up a direct army so far, mainly because he firmly controls the military power, and there is no need to set up a direct army for the time being. However, since the failure of the first Northern Expedition, Liu Jing began to consider this matter. According to the general practice of the princes, he used it.

One percent of the soldiers with a total military strength set up a direct army.

Now there are 200,000 Han troops, that is, 20,000 Yamen Army can be established. According to Liu Jing's idea, five armies are established, namely cavalry, heavy armor infantry, barbarian crossbowmen, heavy shield army and eagle attack army.

Five tooth goalkeepers were appointed at the same time, and the cavalry tooth goalkeeper was Ma Dai. The heavy armored infantry was naturally commanded by Liu Hu, and the Eagle Strike Army was Liu Zheng. Today he decided to use Wang Ping to command the barbarian crossbow soldiers, but it was only the last heavy shield army

Yamenkeeper still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"State Governor! Are you going to the military camp now?"

The question of the guard leader Li Qing interrupted Liu Jing's thoughts. Li Qing knew his lord's habits very well. In the evening, he never went to the military camp, either to the general's mansion or to his own mansion. Especially now that his wife has entered the labor period, the state

Mu would be more concerned about his wife's situation.

Sure enough, Liu Jing looked up at the sky. The western sky was covered with crimson clouds. He shook his head, "If you don't go to the military camp today, go home!"

The carriage turned around and drove towards Liu Jing's mansion.

.........

In Fengyi Pavilion, Liu Jing was having dinner with his family. Fengyi Pavilion is a quid pavilion, about three meters high and built by the water. It is located in the northwest of the lake. The cool breeze on the lake is blowing, making the attic particularly cool.

The hot and hot air was wiped out. This was also the summer resort pavilion that Liu Zhang had worked hard to spend the midsummer. Unfortunately, Yizhou had just been built and the owner was changed.

A large area of ​​special plants were planted under the quid, so that there was no mosquito harassment in Fengyi Pavilion, and it removed a big trouble. The cabinet was not big, only two meters in size. Four maids were waiting for children standing around, and two breasts were taking care of children.

mother.

Liu Jing likes the whole family to have dinner together. The table is surrounded by a small circle and everyone sits next to each other. This is also the way for ordinary families to have a family meal. It is called "gathering and sitting", while the wealthy families are "sitting and sitting alone".

It is required that a single table be seated alone, each seat is separated by one meter and spread out on all sides.

The reason why we sit together is because there are not many ingredients and we cannot make one serving for each person, so we gather together to pick up chopsticks and receive a pot of dishes. This is the same as the way of dining in later generations. Liu Jing's family gathers together to increase family affection

Because the residence is too big, every wife and concubine has an independent courtyard and don’t have much contact with each other. If you sit far away while eating, this kind of family affection will be really alienated.

So Liu Jing used small families to sit together, but the dishes were served for each person. Liu Jing sat in the main seat, and his wife Tao Zhan sat in the first seat on the left and the first seat on the right was Sun Shangxiang's seat. Although she

I went back to Jiangdong to visit relatives, but the seat was still there. The second one on the right was Xiao Baoniang, and the wet nurse sat behind their mother with two children.

Cai Shaoyu shouldn't have appeared in Fengyi Pavilion. It was the rule of Liu Jing's mansion that guests would not enter the cabinet. However, Tao Zhan understood Liu Jing's thoughts and specially added a seat to Cai Shaoyu next to him, including the maid.

Everyone knew it clearly, but Cai Shaoyu herself didn't.

The dining table was quite lively. Liu Jing took out the pearl necklace that Mrs. Zhu Rong gave to her and smiled and said, "This is a gift given to you by the wife of the Barbarian King. It seems quite cold. I'll accept it for you."

Tao Zhan is a daughter of a wealthy family. She is knowledgeable and does not take ordinary treasures seriously, but she is attracted by the string of pearls. The pearls are rounded, with a total of eighteen pieces, wrapped in gold wire,

She picked it up and looked at the light carefully, and said in surprise: "Do you know what this is?"

Liu Jing was also curious and said, "I thought it was a pearl in the water, but I found that it was not. It was actually rounded manually, and it was always very cold, as if it was a rare thing."

Tao Zhan sighed softly, "I know there is a rare strange stone in Manjiang, called **** Stone Spirit, and the barbarians are called Moon Stone."

Cai Shaoyu next to him smiled and said, "I also know that there are many caves, all kinds of shapes and all kinds of strange things. The White Dragon Cave in Nanjun is. I have been to them, and all kinds of **** stones are very beautiful."

Tao Zhan shook his head. **** stone is very common. The **** stone essence I mentioned is the essence of **** stone that has been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years. Not every **** stone is

Yes, there is only one hundred **** stone with a little stone, which is like a grain of rice. A Tao family manager bought a little bit in Manjiang at a high price, with more than a dozen soybeans in the size of an inlay.

The bracelet was presented to the old lady Wu of Jiangdong by my grandfather, and she was Shang Xiang’s aunt.”

Liu Jing became even more strange and smiled and said, "It sounds very rare, but I see that Mrs. Zhurong took it down for me without hesitation. I don't take it seriously."

Tao Zhan sighed, "This is a unique string in the world. The barbarians are called the moon pearl. They are worn by the barbarians' king's wife for generations. They are a symbol of the king's wife and can be called their national treasure. She actually gave this treasure to the general. I really don't know.
