Chapter 82 Dou Rong

When the emperor came out, the order of the carriage was called "luobu", which was the difference between big carriage, law carriage, and small carriage.

Today, Wang Mang went out to visit Hongmen and used a medium-sized legal car.

In addition to the emperor's golden chariot, there were 36 chariots on the left and right. The Five Powers Commander Chen Chong, the Marquis of Tongmu, and the General of the Five Powers Zhongcheng said that Fu Hou Cui Fa was in front of the guild, and the Concubine Lang was the emperor's horse, the Shizhong participated in the chariot, Jianhua Banner, and the Yuluan.

Behind the Dharma Car are the golden horns and yellow axes, yellow door drums and chariots, and playing music.

The front-wheel drive was also very large, with hundreds of people in line, and the court officials at the level of the doctor held the Nine Yunhan and the Phoenix Emperor's Sword. The Grand Sikong Wang Yi was at the forefront, and was surrounded by a cavalry holding the Pixuan Luan Banner.

After the emperor's charity arrived, General Lian Dan, the Grand Tutor who was stationed in Hongmen to train troops, came to bow to him, and then faced the emperor to the high platform and watched the grand event of the northern expedition.

In front of the platform are tens of thousands of elite soldiers who have spent a lot of kung fu training, mainly from the good families of six counties, with all the chariots and riders, and flags are waving.

Behind the high platform were Xian soldiers led by General Gengshi Lian Dan, and 100,000 pig turtle warriors from all over the country. Their role was to make up for the numbers and serve as auxiliary soldiers during wartime.

The Grand Sikong Wang Yi was ordered by the emperor to patrol the camp. After seeing him joining the camp with him, several generals, generals, and a captain came to greet him.

After Wang Yi's official instructions, he asked the generals and generals of the country to prepare themselves, but left the captain with the national face.

"The subordinate officials have met the Grand Sikong..." The lieutenant came over and bowed again. The etiquette was very good, but Wang Yi smiled and helped him up: "Why are you polite without outsiders? Zhou Gong is so good, but he is too polite."

"Zhou Gong" is the name of this person. His name is Dou Rong, and he is the brother of Wang Yi's young wife.

But Dou Rong did not rely on nepotism to gain power. In that battle more than ten years ago, Dou Rong served as the army's sage. He pursued Zhai Yili with great merits. After the war, he was named "Jianwu Man" for his military merits, and was also considered to be among the heroes and nobles.

Unfortunately, as Wang Yi was hidden, Dou Rong, as his old subordinate, failed to go further in his career, and he did not serve as the captain until recently.

Wang Yi sighed: "The only lieutenant is so wronged by Duke Zhou, but today is a good opportunity. I will let you have a good life training song, how can you practice?"

Dou Rong said confidently: "I dare not say anything else. The one I led should be the best."

The other units only gave Xian soldiers one-third of the food rations, but Dou Rong asked them to eat half of them in exchange for the slave soldiers to learn the golden drums, flags, and advance and retreat every now and then. They were barely trained, of course, incomparable to the regular army, but in the Xian army of General Gengshi Lian Dan? He was considered a taller person from a short man? After all, friendly troops were all the virtues of falling down when blown by the wind.

"Good." Wang Yi was very satisfied: "When Your Majesty comes on stage to see the majesty of the three armies, I will deliberately point at your song, saying that it is the best in the rear army. In this way, you will have the chance to meet Your Majesty on stage? Let him remember you? When you come back from this battle, you may be promoted to a marquis."

Dou Rong hurriedly said, "Rong dares not seek high-ranking officials and generous titles. He only hopes that the Grand Sikong can let me take Zhu Tufeng to Hexi for 5,000 people."

When Wang Yi heard Dou Rong play the old tune again, he was immediately displeased and said with a stern face: "Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou, why do you still miss Hexi?"

Dou Rongying said: "The Rong family has a lot of connection with Hexi? Grandpa Gao was once the prefect of Zhangye? Grandpa was the captain of the Qiang Guarding School, and his younger brother Dou You was also the Grandpa Zhangye..."

It's funny, although his grandfather and cousin both worked as officials in Zhangye, it was no longer the same place.

It was just because Wang Mang didn't know what he wanted to change Wuwei to Zhangye. However, there was one Zhangye County in the four counties in Hexi, so Wang Mang asked Zhangye to change his name to "Shiping"? So Dou You are now in Wuwei.

This is Dou Rong's reason. He believed that his family had been in Hexi for many years and knew the customs of the land. Now the imperial court used troops to the Huns, but he was not familiar with other regions. When he went to Hexi, he was like a fish entering the water. He lived in Yansai and faced the front line directly to the right of the Huns.

"No prospect!"

Wang Yi was very concerned about his beloved brother: "Not to mention that this northern expedition was called the attack on the Huns, it was actually to stabilize the border counties, clear out rebellions, strengthen border defenses, so that there would be no danger north of Chang'an. Just say that Hexi is remote and poor, with wind and sand. You have been away for half a year. If the imperial court issued an imperial edict and asked you to remain an official in the local area, wouldn't you not come back? Your daughter is afraid that she would cry in front of me all day long."

"It's just not coming back!"

Dou Rong said in his heart that he is a smart person, and he also sees that the situation in the world is getting worse and wrong. Chong'er is calm outside and Shen Sheng is dead inside. It is better to see the right time to leave.

I’m using the book-chasing app I’ve been using recently, [app] to cache reading and read offline!

Dou Rong is a humble person on the outside, but he also likes to form heroes in the neighborhood. He is famous for his heroes and has many connections in Hexi, so it is a good choice to go there.

But he knew Wang Yi's loyalty to the court. When he thought that the Grand Sikong Fan Sheng risked his life to advise him, he was kicked away by Wang Yi, and he did not dare to express his feelings. He could only agree and show his feelings later.

When Dou Rong returned to the queue, he found that the Liang Qiuci School Captain’s headquarters on his right had also been assembled.

At the front row of the array was a young army Sima. Dou Rong had heard of his name, the fifth reunion, known as Liewei, who was famous for his filial piety.

The eight hundred pigs under the Fifth Reunification army were all sitting quietly on the ground, with the order no worse than Dou Rong's subordinates, and there were all yellow turbans on their foreheads!

...

Emperor Wang Mang, surrounded by the ministers, climbed to the Yuntai Watch Tower, but saw elite soldiers from the troops of the Grand Marshal Dong Zhong in front of him, cycling and flags waving, standing under the sun, the sound of shouting was shocking all over the fields. At first glance, it was indeed very elite.

Wang Mang was wearing a mysterious yellow dress today, sitting behind the mica screen without saying anything, but just gave a wink. Chen Chong, the Marquis of Tongmu, immediately pointed at the army and said to Xubudang, who was watching the ceremony.

"Are you good at the new army powerful?"

Xubudang's wife was the daughter of Wang Zhaojun, the Ninghu Yan clan. Because she was close to China, she often learned some Chinese as an envoy and immediately responded: "Xiao Wang has never seen such a mighty army."

Chen Chong smiled and said, "Who can resist this battle? If you attack the country with this, what country will not defeat? You are good at it. Now your Majesty is helping the country. Are you moved?"

He dared not move, nor did he dare to move. Xubu Dang had been forcibly crowned by Wang Mang since he came to Chang'an, and had long been unable to help but win back on the Huns. He could only let the mercy.

Today's ceremony also arranged a lot of fun work, such as a hundred tigers and Bens rushing to the front of the army, and first there was a large armored car. A giant controlled the carriage and horse, wearing Meng Ben's armor. When he came to the front of the platform, he shouted. The voice of a person almost overshadowed the noise of thousands of soldiers.

Wang Yi introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the giant mother from Donglai."

Wang Mang nodded behind the mica screen, his voice still hoarse: "Shu Ye Lian led Han Boxian to have bad intentions. He wanted to borrow him to compare with the twelve giants in Lintao, and Qin was destroyed, which was not appropriate. He should be punished. But it is good for the giant mother to take the initiative to join the army. I will let him come up later. I want to see the overlord talisman lowered by Empress Dowager Wen."

Wang Yiyingnuo took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, behind the high platform is Zhu Tufeng Yong, the troops of General Gengshi, why not take a look?"

Wang Mang did not agree immediately, but only glanced at the slightest holding of Si Ming beside him. It was not until the time came that Wang Mang turned around solemnly. There was a small wheel under his seat. The surrounding servants also held ceremonial objects and turned in an orderly manner.

As the flags on the platform swayed, Dou Rong, who had already received the advice of Wang Yi, immediately asked the soldiers to get up and line up to practice and move forward and backward. Generally speaking, the rear army is not allowed to move, but who told him to be Wang Yi's elder brother-in-law?

At this time, a gong sounded beside him. In the Liangqiu Ci tribe, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the front row were originally sitting quietly on the ground, but now they suddenly stood up and stood up straight. Because the fifth reunion agreed, they said that if they wanted to go back for a meal today, they might have some old fat meat to eat.

The two formations are adjacent, one is still and one is moving. Although Dou Rong has worked hard to train the soldiers in the past two months, their quality foundation is still a bit messy. However, the 800 people under the Fifth Reun work hard to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and in a state of immobility, they seem particularly regular.

What is more advantageous is their eye-catching yellow turbans wrapped around their heads.

The emperor's high platform was far away, and the Zhu Tufeng brave men stood densely again. They could not find the key points at first glance. They would be dazzled after looking for a while. Compared with Dou Rong's tribe, the subordinates of the fifth reunion could be seen at first glance.

Soon, the emperor spoke again: "Who is the one who uses the yellow turban to wipe his forehead?"

There were constantly knights traveling back and forth between the rear army and the high platform, informing the emperor of the information: "It was the captain Liang Qiuci, and the front row was the fifth reunion of the army Sima."

"Who is the fifth reunion? I seem to have heard of it."

Wang Mang looked at others, but Chen Chong, who was always smart, did not speak this time. He still said that Fu Hou Cui Fa reported: "It was Yang Xiong's disciple who wrote a letter to apologize for his teacher and volunteered to join the army and was willing to fight against the Huns."

"It turned out to be him."

Wang Mang then remembered it and asked someone to listen to what the subordinates of the Fifth Reunification shouted?

After all, the voices of eight hundred people are easily obscured among thousands.

The Knight quickly ran back and forth and reported: "What he shouted is..."

"Long live your Majesty, long live your life, long live your life!"

...

When the Huangmen came to the rear army with the robbery, Dou Rong thought that Wang Yi had reported his name and had to be summoned, so he immediately sorted out his clothes. Wang Yi had instructed him that he would not say that he was "Zhou Gong" later, for fear that he would cause the emperor to think of the old things and feel unhappy.

When Zhonghuangmen came near, Dou Rong smiled and was about to go out to greet him, but unexpectedly, Zhonghuangmen turned to Liang Qiuci's army next door.

Then he took Liang Qiuci and the young army Sima Di Lun to the high platform.

Dou Rong was stunned for a moment and felt very embarrassed. It was better to have worked hard to train soldiers for two months than to stand still in a simple manner. The Yellow Turban's forehead was so eye-catching!

The soldiers under his command were filled with righteous indignation and felt that the fifth relationship was opportunistic, but Dou Rong thought about it and laughed.

"It is not a good thing to attract the attention of the emperor, but it is easy to survive in obscurity. Let others go out for this limelight."

Dou Rong had this idea because there was no knife hanging above his head, but the fifth relationship was different. He had no strong backer in the court, but he had provoked those in power. As long as Chen Chong was willing to do so, he could easily kill him.

So he couldn't keep a low profile, so he could only try his best to slap in safety. After thinking about it, the only way was to attract Wang Mang's attention and make it difficult for Chen Chong to attack directly.

In addition to him and Liang Qiuci, Ju Wuba was also summoned together. Ju Wuba glanced at the small man behind him. Although he was fierce, he was not an extremely evil person. He even humbly compared his hands and asked the two to get on first.

Liang Qiuci did not dare to do anything, and when Ju Wuba came on stage, he whispered to the fifth reunion: "This giant is auspicious for this battle, so you must not fight with it." Liang Qiuci was already very satisfied with being summoned by the emperor due to his performance in the fifth reunion.

When they followed the ladder creaked and creaked, Ju Wuba came first, a group of Langwei, led by Liu Die, the general of the Five Powers, Liu Die, the son of Liu Xin, met with the fifth reunion, smiled at him, and then followed the routine rules to search everyone.

Finally, he led them forward. The fifth reunion glanced at the left and right. Hundreds of attendants were holding soldiers. The Qimen Warriors' halberds were placed on the side of the display platform. The ministers arranged in order, and the guards were very strict.

After they were overwhelmed by the guards, they approached the emperor's throne on the high platform. Here, the fifth reunion saw the old enemy, Chen Chong, Hou Tongmu, but did not see Liu Xin.

Further forward is the emperor's throne, with mica screens covering the left and right. There are two tall and thin Siming wearing five-colored clothes, holding ritual instruments in his hands.

At this time, Di Wu Lun stopped and his pupils widened. Because he always felt very familiar with the objects in Si Ming's hand on the left.

It was actually a metal tube, about fifty or sixty centimeters long, made of red copper, and colorful.

As Emperor Wang Mang's throne, which could move with wheels, slowly turned towards them, Si Ming also moved.

The curved handle was held in Si Ming's hand, and the straight tube was raised by him. The tube's mouth was hollow and dark, so it was aimed at the fifth reunion!

...

PS: It's just a battle.
