Chapter 131 Hualan's Wedding Is Imminent, the Envoys Leave the Capital, and the Five Armies Are Destroyed

During the meal, Wei Yuan heard Minglan say something,

"Uncle, my father said yesterday that my eldest sister is getting married soon, and wanted me to ask you if you have any plans to come forward?"

Hua Lan's wedding, if Wei Yuan came forward, it would definitely be a good thing for the Sheng family.

At least, the Sheng family can tell outsiders in a high-profile manner that in this capital, the Sheng family has a "relative" that can be shown off.

Wei Yuan has a good impression of Hua Lan. This girl was trained by the old lady Sheng. She has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family and is also more sensible on weekdays.

For such a junior, Wei Yuan does not mind being an "elder" for once,

"How long will it take for Hua Lan's wedding?"

Minglan responded: "Less than two months."

Wei Yuan nodded, "It's not too late. When you return home later, tell Hua Lan that I will personally prepare a gift for her."

Like the Sheng family and the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion.

The two sides will start to work on the marriage one or two months in advance.

Minglan nodded and said, "My elder sister treats me very well at home."

The envoys of the two countries sent people just after they had dinner.

Yelu Xinxian and Li Liangzuo have entered the palace to meet the emperor and are preparing to leave Bianjing tomorrow.

Their main purpose here has not been completed, and staying here will not help.

With the end of the Three Kingdoms War, all parties can maintain a period of peace.

At this time, the envoys of the two countries sent people to tell Wei Yuan that they would have a small gathering at Guangyuntai in the evening to see off the envoys of the two countries.

Hearing about this, Wei Yuan was quite curious, "Why choose Guangyuntai?"

The Liao envoy who came responded:

"This is the intention of the two leaders, I don't know."

Wei Yuan nodded, "Okay, please tell the two leaders that I will go to the official post to find you later."

After the envoys of the two countries left, Wei Yuan went to the Ma Junsi and discussed with Xu Changzhi about the establishment of a new army.

"Your Majesty only gave me a staff of 80,000 people. I thought about it and decided to mainly select good players from the upper four armies."

"Daniu and others will serve as army or battalion commanders in the army."

Hearing what Wei Yuan said, Xu Changzhi nodded,

"It is indeed easier to transfer elite soldiers from the upper four armies. It is easier to talk to the Privy Council. Can the Ministry of War give in?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Privy Council was in charge of military and national affairs, and the Ministry of War was responsible for assisting from the side. Its power was not as great as in the previous dynasty, but it could also play a role in checking and balancing the Privy Council.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to concurrently serve as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. There will probably be a formal decree in the next two days."

Xu Changzhi raised his eyebrows, "Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have made a big splash."

Wei Yuan shook his head, "Don't tease me. I have some ideas about forming a new army."

"First, the Danglu Army has five armies under its jurisdiction, each with 15,000 people, divided into five battalions, each with 3,000 people. Each battalion is divided into ten cities, each with 300 people, and each is further divided into 20 squads, with 15 people in each squad."

There was no squad leader in the original military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now, Wei Yuan has added another squad leader, and there is also a clear standard for the number of troops commanded at each level.

And the five armies are naturally the cavalry, the crossbow army, the sword and shield army, the spear army, and the baggage army.

Among them, the baggage army has a more chaotic type of troops, including but not limited to rattan shield bearers and chariot soldiers.

"Hu Ben Army, You Yi Army, Xuan Dun Army, Sheng Jie Army, Kai Shan Army, these are the temporary names of the five armies. If you have a better idea, you can also tell me."

"Among them, the Hu Ben Army is composed of cavalry. I plan to give this army to Daniu. He is good at horse riding and has studied martial arts since he came to the capital. In time, he will definitely become a tiger general."

Wei Yuan said slowly.

In fact, in terms of military strength, among the young generals Wei Yuan knows, no one can compare with Yang Huairen.

However, he has promoted Yang Huairen to the deputy commander of the Danglu Army.

So, Wei Yuan plans to give the position of the commander of the Hu Ben Army with the highest combat power to Chen Daniu.

As for the establishment of these five armies, in Wei Yuan's view, it is still temporary.

If the Danglu Army can reflect its own value, it will be expanded sooner or later.

At that time, the navy must be there, and the scale of the cavalry must be expanded.

——

Later, Wei Yuan came to the official post station and went to Guangyuntai with Yelu Xinxian, Li Liangzuo and several envoys from the two countries.

On the way, Wei Yuan asked curiously:

"Why do you two want to go to that kind of place?"

Yelu Xinxian smiled and said, "I have to see who is the woman who is worth General Wei's money."

Li Liangzuo nodded and agreed, "Since I came to Bianliang, I haven't seen the style of your country's women."

Wei Yuan said, "There are only some women in Guangyuntai. If you want to see the style of my Great Zhou women, you still have to find famous ladies. However, my Great Zhou's famous ladies may not be able to look up to you two."

He has always been very strong when talking with Yelu and Li.

After all, one of the purposes of Zhao Zhen asking him to be responsible for receiving envoys from the two countries is to let him show the strength of the Great Zhou.

Can't be as weak as before.

After Wei Yuan and others came to Guangyuntai, they still sat in the private room they came that day.

After hearing this, Wei Xingtou immediately dressed up again and changed into new clothes.

Soon, she sat beside Wei Yuan in a proper manner.

Yelu Xin first waited for the envoys of the two countries to see her, and then said:

"No wonder General Wei is worth spending a lot of money on her, she is indeed a beauty."

"This Guangyuntai, if you have the chance, you must come often."

"."

Wei Xingshou heard their words and deeds, looked at their clothes, and guessed their identities.

She leaned against Wei Yuan's ear and whispered:

"Uncle Wei, envoys from Liao and Xia came to us in the past, but they were very irregular. There are many sisters in Guangyuntai who have been bullied by them."

"This time, with you here, they are a lot more honest."

Wei Yuan smiled.

Ye Luxin, who was sitting opposite him, asked curiously: "Why is General Wei talking and laughing?"

Wei Yuan pointed at Wei Xingshou, "She said you are honest."

Hearing this, the envoys from the two countries looked embarrassed. They didn't know whether they were praising them or laughing at them.

Wei Xingshou buried his head so low that it was almost buried in Wei Yuan's chest.

If Wei Yuan hadn't been by her side.

As a female, how could she not be afraid of the ferocious envoys from the two countries?

After about two or three hours passed.

The envoys of both countries were drunk.

Suddenly, an envoy from the Liao Kingdom, under the influence of wine, stripped off the clothes of the woman who was serving him wine.

Seeing this, Wei Xingshou frowned.

Wei Yuan looked unhappy and immediately stood up and kicked the envoy hard.

The envoy fainted immediately.

The Liao envoys stood up one after another and looked at Wei Yuan angrily.

Only Ye Luxin drank calmly and remained motionless.

Wei Yuan did not look at those people, but glared at Yelu Xinxian and said:

"The girls in Guangyuntai are not prostitutes, they are prostitutes. You will leave Bianliang tomorrow. I hope there will be no more trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the latter suddenly smiled and said:

"General Wei is right, someone comes and takes him away."

"General Wei, let's continue to sit down and have a drink."

At this time, Wei Xingshou glanced at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan nodded, and then Wei Xingshou left the place with the stripped-off woman.

After a while, Wei Xingshou came over again.

After drinking with the envoys from the two countries for a while, Wei Xingshou winked at Wei Yuan.

The latter was quite curious, so he left here on the grounds of convenience.

Wei Xingshou followed closely.

Wei Yuan came to Wei Xingshou's boudoir.

Shockingly, I saw that the woman whose clothes had been taken off just now was also here.

She knelt down towards Wei Yuan and said, "Nujia Lan'er, thank you General Wei for your help."

Wei Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's just a little effort, get up."

After a pause, he looked at Wei Xingshou again.

"Did you bring me here because of this woman?"

Wei Xingshou shook his head and said:

"Yes and no. Lan'er is my best sister. I don't want to see her bullied. Uncle Wei, you saved her. She will naturally want to thank you."

After saying that, he helped Lan'er up and continued:

"There's something else."

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Cao, the Minister of War, had a drink with several nobles. Those nobles secretly gave Mr. Cao a lot of money, saying that they wanted to invite him to send a few people to the new army."

"The slave family doesn't understand this either, but Uncle Wei, you are on duty in the Ma Army Department, so you may be able to use this information."
