Taiyuan is a city with a long history.

It is worth noting that at this time, because of history.

Jinyang and Taiyuan are not the same city.

Jinyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was also called Zhongdu at this time and was located in what became Pingyao County.

Taiyuan City is located near the ruins of the former Jinyang City.

The reason for this strange pattern is that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty entered Chang'an on behalf of the king and became the emperor.

As his old capital, Jinyang, the original capital of the country, naturally has special significance.

It was regarded as a capital like Chang'an and Luoyang, and was named Zhongdu.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the capital was moved once.

He moved Jinyang City from his old Jinyang to Pingtao, which was later Pingyao, and established his capital here.

After proclaiming himself emperor, he issued an edict to make Jinyang the central capital.

In the second year of Xiaowen's reign, Emperor Taizong made Liu Wu the acting king and Liu Shen the king of Taiyuan, dividing the kingdom into two.

Jinyang, the central capital, remained the capital of the dynasty, and Taiyuan King Liu Can had no choice but to build Taiyuan City on the site of the old Jinyang City.

When King Huai of Liang fell from his horse and died, Liu Wu was moved to the throne of Liang.

This Dai Kingdom merged with the Taiyuan Kingdom and became the Dai Kingdom again.

Of course, Liu Shen immediately moved the capital back to Jinyang, leaving Taiyuan City behind.

It is precisely because of these changes.

So, in fact, Han Jinyang and Han Taiyuan City.

They are two cities separated by two places, two to three hundred miles apart.

At this moment, the arrival of Xiliuying, the number one ace of the Han Dynasty, turned this city into a real military fortress in an instant.

Inside and outside the city, it suddenly became a sea of ​​soldiers.

The whole army of Xiliu Camp, except for the more than 1,000 people who were left to guard the camp and serve as seeds in Chang'an, the rest had 11,000 cavalry, totaling five full cavalry units.

According to the current configuration of the Han army, a rider with two horses would have a total of 20,000 to 30,000 war horses.

In order to take care of these horses, thousands of people must be deployed as grooms alone.

In addition, at least 30,000 people are needed for the army's food and daily life, the maintenance of weapons and equipment, and the transportation of logistical equipment.

At this moment, in Taiyuan City, in order to ensure the smooth operation of Xiliu Camp, there are fully 50,000 civilians and county soldiers providing logistical support.

In addition, heroes from Guanzhong, Beidi, Longyou, Dai, and even Yan and Zhao also brought their own dry food and gathered here from all directions, surrounded by slaves or children from their hometowns.

Everyone is looking forward to Li Guang's miraculous story and trying it out again on themselves.

As we all know, Li Guang was just the son of a landowner in Longyou County. When the Huns invaded, he took his younger brother Li Cai and dozens of his family members and servants to join the army, thus starting the legendary story.

Chapter.

To this day, Li Guang has been promoted to Weiwei and is the ninth minister of the Han Dynasty.

His younger brother Li Cai also became the captain of Longyou Cavalry.

The future of the two brothers can only be said to be limitless.

Under such circumstances, Huang Kuang took his few domestic slaves and rode horses to the gate of Taiyuan City.

"Are you coming to join the army?" The county soldiers guarding the city gate laughed immediately when they saw the clothes of Huang Kuang and his party: "The general has an order: Anyone who comes to join the army must go to the military camp outside the city. After assessment, he will make a decision as appropriate.

Accepted!"

When Huang Kuang heard this, he quickly thanked him and took the soldiers at home in a hurry to the military camp outside the city.

Although he carried a letter from his father in his arms. Through this letter, he was able to establish a relationship with an uncle who served as a Sima in Xiliu Camp.

But this is not safe.

The Han army has always been picky in recruiting soldiers, especially during such a war. The generals in the army are extremely picky about those who come to join the army.

If your height is not up to standard, delete it!

If your physical strength is not up to standard, brush it off!

Even the bow-drawing look is too ugly and needs to be brushed off!

Relationships are never safe.

After all, he wasn't the only one involved.

In the past, there were even stories where someone tried to get a relationship in front of the general, but was still rejected.

For the powerful landowners and heroes in the north, war is a luxurious feast, a gamble that reshuffles the cards and determines the fate of the family.

If you want to bet at the gambling table, in addition to connections, you must also have strength.

In addition to strength, luck is also needed.

This is the so-called relationship is not as good as strength, and strength is not as good as luck.

Arriving in front of the military camp, Huang Kuang's suspicion was indeed confirmed.

I saw that outside the camp gate, there were countless heroes and heroes from various places gathered with various accents.

Everyone is equipped with their own pommel, horse, armor and bow and crossbow.

Among these people, there is even a strong man who is nine feet tall and stands out like an iron tower.

There is also a figure with a strong body, as strong as a buffalo, and exposed muscles as strong as iron.

In Dai State, Shangjun, Beidi, Guanzhong and Longyou.

Local tycoons and descendants of landlords and officials from all over the country have been waiting for such an opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate for a long, long time.

"Are you coming to join the army?" Seeing Huang Kuang and his party coming on horseback, several Xiliu camp soldiers who were patrolling outside the camp gate raised their heads and said to Huang Kuang and his party: "If you come to join the army, go and line up over there.

Waiting for the general’s selection and assessment!”

When Huang Kuang heard this, he quickly said thanks and quickly went to the designated place and lined up obediently.

After arriving at the designated place, Huang Kuang discovered that his competitor was far more powerful than he imagined.

There were even exclamations of surprise from time to time among the crowd.

"Did you see that? That's the legitimate son of the Wang family in Taiyuan!" Someone pointed to a group in the distance where dozens of saddlers and horses were lined up, arrogantly lining up in front of the crowd, and said: "I can't believe that even a powerful person like the Wang family can

Need to join the army!"

The Wang family of Taiyuan is a well-known family in Dai State, with noble blood and extraordinary origins.

Even Huang Kuang had heard about it.

The Wang family in Taiyuan comes from the Ji family of Zongzhou, and their ancestor is Zi Qiao, the crown prince of King Zhou Ling of Zongzhou.

Ziqiao was short-lived and only lived to be seventeen years old, so his younger brother Gui succeeded to the throne.

However, Zongzhou had already declined at that time, and the world entered the Warring States period of chaos.

Zi Qiao's eldest son Zong Jing sized up the situation and moved his family to Taiyuan.

Because he was a direct descendant of Zongzhou, he took Wang as his surname and slowly flourished in Taiyuan.

The generals of the Qin State, Wang Jian and his son, were from the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The Wang family has always been an active force in the Han army and is a real family of generals. Almost every generation has people who have been promoted to captaincy.

There were ten direct descendants of the Wang family in the previous generation, four of whom died for the Han family.

From this perspective, the Wang family can be regarded as a family full of loyalties.

More importantly, it is said that as soon as the Wang family's children reach the age of eight, they will begin to learn various military skills from their elders and teachers.

Moreover, the family will select the real talents from the descendants, and select reliable disciples among the slaves and tenants from an early age, so that they can get along with each other and cultivate tacit understanding and affection.

Even for a well-known family like the Wang family, everyone has to line up together to wait for selection.

Huang Kuang took a deep breath in his heart, and then silently hid the letter from his father.

relation?

It’s no longer useful!

Generals like Wang have to line up obediently, let alone others?

Rely on your ability!

Taking a deep breath in his heart, Huang Kuang was still confident in his martial arts.

I remember back then, in Huayin County, he defeated four rangers from out of town by himself, so he was called the Huayin Breast Tiger.

But soon, his self-confidence was completely shattered.

In front of the camp gate, a man who looked like a senior general from Xiliu Camp looked at a few heroes who had joined the army in the front row, and then said to him: "You can go!"

"

Those big men who were still full of confidence suddenly changed their colors when they heard this, and asked sternly: "Why? We, the Guo brothers, are not very famous in the North. Who knows, I, the Guo family's descendants, are all
