87 Chapter 39 Plum Blossoms in the Great Buddha Temple (2)
When he received the message from Pingling Yu, Ji Rin had just led his troops to Hanhai.
This is the largest lake from Chang'an to the north into Jinju, Jinju is far away from the sea, and the locals see that this water is vast and can not see the end at a glance, so they call it by the sea.
Now in October, the weather is cold, although the lake is not frozen, but compared to the summer in the vast water waves or a little quieter, coupled with the surrounding grass and trees withered, the autumn grass leaves, look at it looks clean, and then go north to the lake is a small sand dune, the golden sand particles show a magnificent color in the sunset.
A big buzzard spread its wings and circled in mid-air, the white feathers under the brown wings opened, It swooped down violently and landed on the hand of a small man Lang Jun who followed behind Ji Rin, and the yellow-brown eyes showed a bit of arrogance, it was actually an extraordinary horse, Everyone found that it was carrying a black wooden box on its back, which was untied by the little man Lang Jun and put it in his arms.
Ji Rin looked at the sky, and then led everyone to camp by the lake.
Jinju has a vast territory, which can be regarded as the most extensive state in the Eastern Qin and Kyushu, and runs through the north and south, running through the east and west, there are both lush mountains and forests, and vast grasslands, even deserts and snow-capped mountains are among them, and there are countless dark rivers, water sources are also abundant, and the terrain is complex.
Along the way, Ji Rin only brought twenty personal guards from the Xuanyi Army, he originally only planned to bring familiar generals, but Pingling Yu insisted that he bring the elite of the Xuanyi Army as an arm, and said that the forbidden army often guards the palace city, and there is no blood for many years, that is, it has been trained to the end as if it is not as good as a knife and a gun on the battlefield, the army worships the strong, he is the main general is not good to wrestle with ordinary soldiers, but his personal guards can.
Although he led the army to hurry, he was not in a hurry, these sons and daughters who grew up in Chang'an were still young and young, and they were full of pride when they thought about conquering the battlefield and establishing meritorious deeds.
Where there are many young people, it is always easy to quarrel, everyone is hot-blooded, you don't obey me, I don't obey you, even if Ji Rin is famous, but there are always thorns in my heart who are not convinced.
However, the army is humble and strict, even if there is fire in his heart, he definitely did not go towards Ji Rin, and the twenty generals around him were targeted by these hot-blooded Lang Jun.
Xuanyi soldiers are few, but each is one of the best candidates, the world has been peaceful for a long time, the forbidden army is lax, or because of the drought and flood disaster for six consecutive years, the displaced people are in turmoil, the Pingzhou garrison is defeated, Ji Rin was ordered to quell the chaos, collected the army and transferred people from Qingzhou, put down the rebellion for a year, he brought the Pingzhou army out.
The sage looked at it and was worried about the garrison of Chang'an, and it was Zhou Jian, who had been in the forbidden army for two years, to re-recruit candidates, and it would take only a year to train with full fighting, and the first time he went out of Chang'an to find Ji Rin in June!
And these forbidden troops only treat them as ordinary generals to protect their masters, but how do they know that if it weren't for the death of Duke Wen Xianggong, these people would still be wandering the border, killing horse thieves for a living, and they would definitely not go deep into the hinterland of Eastern Qin.
Those horse thieves are all thieves, acting more cunning and shameless than the regular army, they are outlaws looking for life on the edge of the knife, ruthless, killing people like hemp, the Xuanyi Army was originally the secret people of the Ji family, dealing with it all the year round, in addition to the justice that they abide by in their hearts, the means are naturally comparable to the horse thieves, and how can they be compared with ordinary sergeants?
Sure enough, there were still a few games secretly over the past few days, but both sides were measured, and the occasional injury did not show serious injuries, and Ji Rin didn't know when he saw that the people below were gradually getting along.
After all, there are only a few people who challenge! But there were hundreds of people who accompanied Ji Rin to Chang'an by the forbidden army, and when they saw Ji Rin in distress, they even reached the point of making a personal promise, where was there still awe!
Now Ji Rin has become their peak, but in a few days, the rumors have spread, not to mention that the other protagonist of the rumors is the now famous Jinzhou Thorn Shi Pingling Yu, although the protagonists are two Langjun, but there is a life-saving friendship, and there is a legend that once became famous and known to the world, there is a trend of becoming more and more intense.
And in the past few days, Ji Rin only ordered people to read out the regulations in the army on the first day, only required them to do the prohibitions and abide by the military regulations, and did not train them much, as for the unpredictable art of war, I didn't see it at all, and the hesitation in my heart was at its peak, and the fear when I first arranged the boss also dissipated most of it, I only felt that Ji Rin was just famous, but it was actually difficult to deserve.
"Lord!" Wang Xiu came over with a bowl of steaming broth, Ji Rin sat behind the desk in a military uniform, he took a shower with water, his hair was half-dried and draped on his back, and there was a wooden box in front of his desk, in which was a silk table.
"Rest early, I guess tonight will not be peaceful. "Ji Rin can't keep a good eye on these thirteen captains for a day, the forbidden army is different from the army next to him, not to mention the Ji family's army, that is, the composition of the Jinzhou garrison is far simpler than the forbidden army, these seven days from Chang'an, the march during the day is just a day, and the station rests at night, and he reads the situation about these 40,000 people from the Pingling Imperial Office under the candlelight.
Thirteen captains, twenty-eight captains, one hundred and sixty-nine centurions, and five thousand one hundred and seventy-two captains, he has a rough idea, and the leaders and centurions he focuses on at least know the population of the family, the basic character, and the relationship with his comrades.
The more he was like this, the more moved he was in his heart, except for the twenty people around him, the twenty people around Pingling Yu, and the thirty people around the Liang family, the rest of them all taught Pingling Yu to re-explain and put it together, but he didn't expect that it would have such an effect in just a few days, he was grateful for Pingling Yu's intentions, and for a while he was worried that the other party's body and bones would not know if he could stand it.
"Hey, the lord has been hanging Lang Jun who is not afraid of the ground these days for several days, are they not in a hurry?" Wang Xiu is already thirty and three this year, although he has a delicate name, but he is born five big and three thick, a beard covers most of his face, and he looks like a mountain bandit, but he is thoughtful, he is headed by twenty people in this line, he was not familiar with Ji Rin in the past, and now that he gets along, he only knows that his lord is not a strict person, although he is in awe, he dares to say a few words of gossip.
"There is no room for loss in supporting Shuoxue Pass, they grew up in the prosperous land of Chang'an, and they don't know the hardships of the war, and now they are supported, I am very worried. Ji Rin sighed, at this time he missed Pingling Yu more and more, that day in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Chang'an City, the other party's strategy made him clear in his heart, but now it seems that he and Pingling Yu still overestimated the combat power of the forbidden army, I am afraid that he will lose his words and cannot wait for the other party in Yongning City, "Qingzhou set off from Chang'an a few days in the morning, and I don't know where to go." ”
"Pingling Assassin History, they naturally started from the official road, all the way to Yongning City for about 20 days, and they took the little son, I am afraid that it will be a few days slower, and today should be resting at the Songlin Town Post Station around Chang'an. Wang Xiu thought for a moment.
"Is there any news from Shuoxue Pass?" Ji Rin paused, and stretched out his hand to put the gong down.
"Since the news of your marshal came out, now Jinzhou is no longer as chaotic as before, and then the rebellion of Xiahou Jun Cao is already known to everyone, and there are people who are swaying from side to side and now they have temporarily settled down, but there is no definite news about Shuoxueguan now, and now this situation is good. Wang Xiu reported in a low voice.
Ji Rin couldn't help frowning slightly, he originally wanted to choose one of the thirteen captains to be promoted to a partial general and lead the troops to Shuoxue Pass to support, but now it seems that he has to personally lead the army to take a trip, and the avalanche can make Yu Jing take two captains together, he is born with the ability to train the buzzard, and he uses the buzzard to communicate a little faster than other means, as for the matter of leading the troops to clear Jinzhou, it is better to hand it over to Wang Xiu, and then he has to think about it a few more times.
"Tomorrow is a day to be delayed, so go and rest first. Ji Rin made up her mind, and called Wang Xiu to whisper a few words by her side.
The latter withdrew from the camp tent, and after a while, he heard Wang Xiu leading people to the military tents of several captains, Ji Rin couldn't help but smile slightly, he had indulged these Lang Jun for so many days, and now he had to kill chickens and monkeys, only looking at the other party to listen to the camp rules of the first day, Mo Zhen wanted to commit it in his hands.
For a while, he picked up a military book and flipped through it, just waiting for his hair to dry out, and then leaned on the couch and fell asleep.
Before three o'clock, there was a commotion in the camp.
Several lieutenants asked the general outside the camp tent, saying that they had important matters to discuss, and they were meeting the general who was keeping vigil.
Ji Rin got up in his clothes, and saw Wang Xiu nodding towards him, knowing that the matter was done, but his face was still cold, so he only ordered people to raise the tent, and beat the drum to call all the soldiers to get up.
The open space in front of the tent illuminated by the blazing torches was like a morning light, and it was bright.
Ji Rin sat on the high platform with his hands upright, and the Xuanyi Army around him was lined up in turn, standing beside him like wings, and there were several captains standing on both sides of his account, and in the open space in front of them, more than 20 Lang Jun were disheveled, tied with ropes, and their hair buns were still wet, kneeling down in front of him, countless embarrassments, at this time, he was irradiated by this bright torch, and his face couldn't help showing a little shame and resentment.
Next to them, Lang Jun, who was dressed in a navy blue cloak and chain mail, and did not wear a hood, was furious, and the anger in his eyes became more and more scorching under the light of the torches.
