I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 512: Yulin Langwei! Go, scare the world for me!

Safe.

Hearing this name, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and his steps towards Han Shao became much lighter.

After a round of impeccable greetings, he entertained Han Shao and the little guy for a while.

Looking at the unprecedented gentle expression on his master's face, Li Jing's eyes flickered.

He wanted to say something several times, but finally remained silent.

At this time, Han Shao had already handed the little guy in his arms to the palace maid and asked him to take a seat.

"It's just my family affair. You don't need to care about it or think too much about it."

After all, they had experienced life and death together. Unlike others, Han Shao spoke to Li Jing in a relatively straightforward and honest manner.

When Li Jing heard this, a trace of shame flashed across his face.

At that moment just now, he did think of many things, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

"Young Master is really good-looking, much better than my boy."

Han Shao smiled as he said this in a dry voice.

"Shentong is a good boy. I like him very much. Don't be so ungrateful."

But speaking of the kid from Li Jing's family, Han Shao remembered something else.

"By the way, Ping An is still young, but Feng Xian is too dull. You can ask Shen Tong to take him out for some fun later, so that Gu Sheng won't have to worry too much."

After a whole battle with the Wuhuan tribe, Han Shao fulfilled his pre-war promise.

He raised all the descendants of the soldiers who died in battle until they reached adulthood.

Those who are willing to study literature can go to the newly built Mohist Academy.

Those who were willing to carry on the legacy of their fathers and grandfathers were all included in the list of Yulin Langwei.

But before they can truly form an army, they still need to spend a few years in a military academy to learn punctuation and the art of warfare.

Needless to say about the former.

The latter can be said that Han Shao completely trained these Yulin orphans as future generals.

I hope that one day they can truly "give you wings, as flourishing as a forest"!
But this made many generals dissatisfied.

Some people even muttered sour words in front of Han Shao.

"If I had known that I could have such a future for my children and grandchildren, I would have thrown this rotten body into the battlefield!"

Don't think that warriors are stupid just because they are straightforward.

In fact, anyone who can get a military officer's position is all very cunning.

As soon as the military academy appeared, they smelled something and instantly realized what it meant.

Who doesn’t want to provide a good future for their children and grandchildren during their lifetime?

Therefore, Han Shao really couldn't say anything about such human nature.

Only under "extreme helplessness" did they gradually relax the restrictions on the Yulin Langwei, no longer limiting it to the descendants of soldiers who died in battle.

And it was thanks to this that Li Shentong, the boy from Li Jing's family, was able to enter and was awarded the position of Yulin Captain due to his outstanding talent.

Whether he holds an official position is secondary, but the title of the child king is well-deserved.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Li Jing sneered and immediately nodded in agreement.

"It is also an honor for Shentong to be with Master Fengxian. It is something he would love to have."

Prince, the son of a prince.

If it was Han Kun, whose nickname was Ping'an, the legitimate young master, Li Jing might have hesitated for a moment, not wanting his boy to step too early into some disputes from which he would find it difficult to protect himself.

But he had no such concerns about Han Fengxian, the fake young master.

Instead, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike others, being too favored is what worries Li Jing the most.

He is the best in the army, and now his son is emerging among the next generation, showing signs of becoming the leader of the next generation.

This is a blessing, but in the long run, it is also a curse.

After all, if he can guarantee that he will abide by his duties and tread carefully throughout his life, how can he influence the behavior of the next generation?

But he just couldn't bear to block his boy's future.

After all, the kid in his family is indeed very talented and much better than him as a father.

But now he can finally put his mind at ease. Although Prince Fengxian is only the emperor's adopted son, his surname is Han after all.

In addition, since this young man is valued by the Arhats of the Great Zen Temple, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

With him around, even if those guys from the Yulin Guards were ignorant and insisted on getting close to his boy,

The old people in their family will also teach them how to do things and how to be a person.

Naturally, Han Shao could not escape Li Jing's change of expression in this moment. He glared at him with a helpless look, and Han Shao complained unhappily.

"You, you just worry too much!"

He said this, but isn't this one of the reasons why he values ​​and trusts Li Jing so much?

Li Jing is a man of great wisdom.

This is the biggest prerequisite to ensure that this pair of king and minister can remain together for a long time.

Just like this, facing Han Shao's complaints, Li Jing was not panicked, but just showed the same respectful smile as always.

"In the past, Jing was just a small military officer, with only 500 cavalrymen under his command."

"At that time, all we had to do was to fight and charge, but now that's not possible—"

"I have the trust of my Lord and a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. If I think more, I will make fewer mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Han Shao pointed at Li Jing and laughed.

"Well, from what you said it seems that it is my fault."

Li Jing even said he didn't dare.

"Jing is afraid that I will fail the grace of the emperor in selecting him, and waste this heaven-sent relationship between the emperor and his subjects!"

Check it out!

If anyone again calls Li Jing old-fashioned and dull, Han Shao will definitely go up and slap him twice.

Isn't this guy's eloquence several times better than Qi Shuo's chatterbox?
Han Shao laughed.

After simply brushing aside the topic, the two finally got down to business.

"You came here to ask me why I asked you to go south?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing quickly expressed his thoughts.

But he didn't say any nonsense like "Moving troops without the imperial edict may cause trouble", he just said.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's Jing who is incompetent!"

"In the past, I only knew how to go north, but I was completely unfamiliar with the way to go south. I had to ask the king to personally teach me how to do things before I could be at ease."

Han Shao smiled again when he heard this, and then blinked and said.

"Didn't you guess it?"

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, a little surprised.

"Is it really... scary?"

At this time, Han Shao had already waved his sleeves, stood up, and looked to the south, standing with his hands behind his back.

"As for your unfamiliarity with the journey south, you are like this, and so am I."

"It's a good opportunity to get familiar with it, so that when we really go south in the future, we won't be confused and at a loss as to what to do."

Go south!

When Han Shao said this, Li Jing's whole body trembled, and his eyes instantly flashed with a look that was half panic and half excitement.

However, he had always been calm and composed, and he quickly calmed himself down and asked.

"I wonder... who does Your Majesty want to scare?"

This is a good question.

Han Shao retracted his gaze and smiled with narrowed eyes.

“Huang Tiandao…”

In fact, the eight states where Huang Tiandao is now based are very close to Youzhou.

There is only Zhuozhou in between.

This time the Divine Capital Imperial Guards suffered a crushing defeat, with all 100,000 armored cavalry wiped out. It was completely predictable that a new round of Huang Tiandao's invasion would spread outward.

It was understandable that Han Shao wanted to scare them at this moment.

But before Li Jing could respond, Han Shao continued.

"And my cheap father-in-law, the Prime Minister of the Capital of Gods."

Han Shao wanted to tell him not to think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he defeated the son of Emperor Taikang.

With a good son-in-law like him around, everything has to be considered carefully.

Don't take too big a step at once, or the situation will get out of control.

After all, he wasn't ready yet.

Besides, he also wanted to take this opportunity to scare the noble families in the world, to let them know that there is Youzhou in the world! And there is also him, Han!

From now on, whether it is setting up a chess game or inviting people to dinner, if Han doesn't go or participate, that is his own problem.

But if you just ignore him, or even want to use him as a chess piece, or even put him on the dining table.

Sorry about that.

You can't play this game.

You can't even eat this meal!

At this moment, Han Shao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle or a wolf, which made Li Jing afraid to look him in the face. "Go, scare the world for me."

"If one battalion of 10,000 cavalrymen is not enough, then bring along our old brothers from the Lonely Trap Camp."

"In a word, let them see the difference between our northern border troops and those good-for-nothings in the capital!"

After Li Jing accepted the order solemnly, Han Shao smiled brightly as if the clouds had dissipated and the rain had stopped.

Not only did the sharp edge that had just been revealed disappear in an instant, he even seemed a little cunning.

"Of course, these are secondary."

"Your purpose of going south this time is nothing else but to help the south get people—"

Making fun of people?

How? No, this—

Perhaps it was because Han Shao's turn was too big that Li Jing was unable to react.

Han Shaohao laughed for a while at the astonishment on his face.

After he finished laughing, he sighed and explained.

"We are short of people! The gap in the grassland is too big, and the rebuilt Langju City also needs to be repopulated. The few people in Youzhou alone are really useless."

What is more crucial is that people at that time valued their land very much and were reluctant to move. Once people were forced to migrate, they would inevitably become resentful.

If it wasn't necessary, Han Shao didn't want to resort to this strategy.

But if we get people from the south, there won’t be so many concerns.

What is so hard to abandon?
Is it more important to stay alive?

Therefore, Han Shao giving them a safe place to live at this time could not be considered an unjust and brutal act, but clearly an immeasurable merit!
After hearing Han Shao's explanation, Li Jing, who finally came to his senses, was a little amused.

It turns out that my Lord is making a whole pot of dumplings just for a dish of vinegar!

However, he had to admit that what Han Shao said before he stated the ultimate goal also made sense.

After careful consideration, even Li Jing felt that this trip south could achieve several goals at one stroke.

And the timing was beautifully chosen.

One hundred thousand celestial soldiers in the capital of gods had just been defeated, and at this time of chaos in the sky, his own monarch was the first to react, which was also in line with his personality.

Great Yong is loyal and good!

But after retracting the thought, Li Jing still expressed his only concern.

"Your Majesty, if we use military force for no reason without an imperial decree, will it be possible..."

Han Shao looked at him strangely and asked back.

"Who said I was using troops for no reason?"

"My battalion of soldiers was clearly invited by the governor of Youzhou to go south for training and to eliminate some bandits. How can this be considered as using troops for no reason?"

The governor of a province is in charge of governing the people of a certain area on behalf of the emperor.

The authority itself is extremely great.

Therefore, except for border states such as Youzhou, most states in the world only have inspectors but no governors.

But after hearing what Han Shao said, Li Jing hesitated.

"Given our relationship with the governor, will he be able to cooperate?"

Don't forget that with the combination of Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing, one a civil official and the other a military officer, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion has almost no presence.

That governor even still bears the shameful title of "paper governor".

Although this kind of frustration cannot be called deep-seated hatred, it is definitely not friendly and amicable.

In the face of Li Jing's worries, Han Shao waved his hand and said confidently.

"He will agree. Just go ahead and don't worry."

Seeing Han Shao's very confident look, Li Jing felt completely relieved and immediately stood up and bowed.

"Here!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Jingding will take care of this matter!"

He was a warrior, and picking up people became secondary.

The correct thing to do is to let the people of the world see the majesty of their master!

Seeing Li Jing's murderous look, Han Shao wanted to warn him not to kill too much on this trip.

But on second thought, this would only make him feel restrained, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed his tone to say something calmly.

"Go."

Li Jing, whose mind had suddenly become clear, said goodbye and left immediately after hearing this.

Be decisive and don't waste time.

Most of the soldiers in the army are like this.

Take Han Shao for example. No matter what his temperament was in the past, after experiencing this life, he inevitably developed the behavior of a military officer.

Think about it, act decisively, and do it when you say it.

Let Li Jing lead a battalion of soldiers south, and that's it.

It's nothing more than a matter of thought.

……

"That Li Zhonglang... is gone?"

Back in the inner hall of the bedroom, Wuhuan Heya, who was able to stand up, lifted the curtain, revealing a delicate face that was even rounder and smoother than before.

Han Shao glanced at the maids serving beside him, and seeing them tremble, he smiled and nodded in response.

"Well, let's go."

Karasuma Kazuya was a little apologetic, "It's really rude that I haven't had time to entertain the guests who have come from afar."

Han Shao laughed dumbly, "What kind of guest is he?"

Retainers are, in a sense, also family members.

Hearing what Han Shao said, Wu Wan He Ya blinked and said no more.

In fact, if she really had this idea, she would have asked the waitress to add a cup of tea when Li Jing was here just now, which would have been considered as showing off.

But she still didn't do it.

Maybe she just wants peace.

Everything is fine now, and she is quite satisfied with it, so why should she take the initiative to cause trouble?
Han Shao tactfully did not bring it up again.

The most frightening thing about many things in this world is taking the initiative.

Once you take the initiative and he takes the initiative, and neither of you gives in, trouble will arise.

This is true in the world and also in the home.

It's good to just let things take their own course and maintain a relatively stable tacit understanding.

……

Li Jing moved quickly.

From the moment he received the order, he had already asked the army to prepare.

During this period, he made a trip to the grassland alone without delaying the progress at all.

When everything was ready, he didn't even care that it was getting late, and directly chose to set off south under the stars!

Han Shao stayed in the Dragon City Palace for another three days. Although he was nostalgic for this gentle land far away in the grassland, he had no choice but to say.

"I'm so lonely."

I have to say, this woman is really made of water.

As soon as these words were spoken, the pair of eyes over there were already filled with tears, and all that was visible was the pitiful and reluctant look.

What surprised Han Shao was that she didn't show any clinging behavior, but instead was considerate.

"My dear, you are very busy and shouldn't stay here for long."

"It's all because I was too greedy that I pretended not to know. I hope you won't blame me."

sensible!

It's painfully sensible.

Upon seeing this, Han Shao stepped forward and kissed both mother and son lightly on the forehead.

"Don't worry, I'll come back when Ping'an is a full moon."

Due to his background, Han Shao was destined to feel indebted to this eldest illegitimate son.

We can only try to make appropriate compensation.

But this is something that will happen in the long run, so there is no need to rush.

So after saying this, Han Shao took a step, and then disappeared into the royal palace bedroom on the grassland.

Next, it’s time to meet the Mu of Youzhou.

Just half an hour after Han Shao disappeared, a figure with a mixture of sword spirit and Buddhist Zen spirit came hurriedly, as ethereal as a fairy.

As soon as he entered the palace, he asked in a rather urgent tone.

"Lang... Where is Langjun?"

Karasuma and Miyabi blinked their eyes, showing a bit of pity.

"Just left."

Out of some instinct, she, holding the little one in her arms, deliberately concealed the date of Han Shao's next return.
