Chapter 257: Xiangyang Blocks
(3rd Update!) Severe colds and high fevers are still coding, I am really a good Chinese author...... Ahem, ask for praise~)
Xiangyang belongs to Taiyuan Mansion in Dading, which has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses here. The garrison of Xiangyangwei is at the foot of Longshan Mountain, about twenty miles away from the inner city of Xiangzhou.
Shen Du is in the middle of the army, and the person in charge is Liu Jinyun, the head of the household department. Under Liu Jinyun, there is also Shaoqing Su Shiyong of Weiwei Temple. These two people are both positions on the fourth grade, and they are important ministers in the court, and the court sent these two people, which shows the importance of the soldiers.
Shen Du led the 500 Tiger Army, which is really the biggest guarantee for this road, which is related to the safety of Liu Jinyun and others, and whether the soldiers in the middle can be carried out smoothly. In the eyes of Liu Jinyun and Su Shiyong, Shen Du's role is too important. Whenever something was to be decided, they would ask him for advice.
For example, at the moment, Su Shiyong asked: "Lord Shen, shall we go straight to Xiangyangwei or rest in the post station for one night and act again tomorrow morning?" â
Shen Du looked at the night, and then looked at the tired faces of Liu Jinyun, Su Shiyong and others, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, let's rest for the night." It's not bad for this time, and it's easy to do things tomorrow morning. It's all at the boundary of Xiangyang, and there must be no one to stop it. â
Yes, block. Not long after they left Jingzhao, they kept encountering all kinds of things. Sometimes there will be trouble from the villagers in a certain place, sometimes there will be robberies by bandits, and sometimes even a large group of beautiful girls will block the road, and in the end, even the big trees will be in the middle of the road.
At the beginning, Shen Du and the others didn't feel anything. Later, when I saw that this kind of thing kept going, I realized that it was inappropriate. It's clear that someone is holding them back, trying to slow them down.
Who is holding them back, it's not hard to guess.
After that, the tiger soldiers were not polite at all, and when they encountered this kind of trouble, they directly showed their swords and swept away the blocks as quickly as possible.
Later, there were fewer troublemakers, and their group hastened their journey, and there was no good rest in between. Shen Du and the Huben soldiers didn't think there was anything, but Liu Jinyun, Su Shiyong and other civilian officials. Already exhausted. But they all know that speed matters, and they have no complaints.
I kept rushing all the way, and now I finally came to the Xiangyang realm. After this post station, you can enter Xiangzhou City after about two hours. At this time. It's already nighttime.
Liu Jinyun nodded. He commanded, "Let's all rest." We'll set off tomorrow morning. â
As soon as he said this, the rest of the officers and soldiers began to move. There are those who enter the post station to rest. But more officials are like the Tiger Ben soldiers, who spread a blanket directly on the ground and fell asleep.
Liu Jinyun told everyone to rest, but he himself did not move. Moreover, his expression was not good-looking, and in addition to exhaustion, there was also worry.
He knew very well that compared with the fatigue of rushing for days, the real hardship was still to come. After going to Xiangyangwei, there is still a tough battle to be fought, and I don't know what will happen and how difficult it will be.
From the moment he took over the troops, he foresaw the difficulties that might arise. The Xiangyang guards are not clay sculptures, and they will never let them pry the foundation. Luo Bingguang...... Low-key and scary people are too difficult to deal with!
Although they came here with the Ming and Huang Holy Decrees, it was expected that the Xiangyang guards would not dare to openly confront them, but what about in private? How many tricks will there be? Will they go smoothly in this line?
Liu Jinyun didn't know, and her brows were always deeply locked.
"Lord Liu, let's rest first. No matter what happens, the water will cover it. Shen Du approached Liu Jinyun and explained so widely.
Liu Jinyun is the main person in this industry, and the weight of the pressure can be imagined. Shen Du didn't know much about Liu Jinyun and his person, and his biggest impression was that his strategic skills were extraordinary, which can be seen from the fact that he temporarily took over the imperial treasury but did not have any problems at all.
His father deliberately appointed him to take charge of the middle lane, which obviously had a deep meaning.
Liu Jinyun heard this, but did not nod. He thought about it, summoned Su Shiyong, and said to him and Shen Du, "Please come with me, two of you." Let's make a final decision on the matter of the troops. â
When they were in Jingzhao, they had already discussed the arrangements for the Xiangyang guards, and they had preliminarily divided their duties.
According to the main content of the soldiers, Liu Jinyun mainly checked the account books of Xiangyang Wei, and the assets used, the grain and grass consumed, and so on were all of his concern.
For this reason, he also specially brought more than a dozen officials, all of whom are experts in settling accounts, and some people even have developed golden eyes, and they can know if there is a problem at a glance in the account books.
And Su Shiyong's duty is to inspect the weapons of Xiangyang Guard. This is relatively easy, because the arsenal allocates a number of equipment to Xiangyangwei every year. According to Xiangyangwei's training and the number of times, and then check the retention of weapons, you can roughly know the result.
The most important and onerous inventory of soldiers fell on Shen Du. The reason for the promotion of each general and the relationship behind it must be known. In addition, the most central thing is, of course, the number of soldiers. Is Xiangyangwei really only 100,000 soldiers and horses? Is there a private soldier in the zĂ i?
Along the way, they discussed this many times, and they also had a plan for how to do it. But thinking that he would arrive at Xiangyangwei tomorrow morning, Liu Jinyun was very cautious.
Shen Du and Su Shiyong nodded, they understood Liu Jinyun's worries. The three of them then turned around and walked towards the inn......
At this time, the Xiangyang Wei General's Mansion under the Long Mountain was also brightly lit, and it was obvious that there were still people discussing things at such a late hour.
General Luo Bingguang sat in the middle of the meeting hall, the first on the left was the eldest son Luo Sheng, the second son Luo Yi and the four major staff, and the lower right was the general of Xiangyangwei, with a total of six people.
At this time, these people who can be in the council hall are Luo Bingguang's henchmen. They didn't gather here just to order troops.
"They have reached the Xiangyang Realm, and they will come tomorrow morning. Our people, we can't slow them down much. Luo Sheng said this, his expression was quite ugly.
The matter of the imperial court ordering troops was too sudden, and the people who came to Xiangyangwei to order troops were too fast, Xiangyangwei could only deal with it in a hurry, and he didn't know what would happen tomorrow, so it would be strange that his face would look good.
"General, the soldiers and generals have all been arranged, even if they come, they are not afraid. As for the books and equipment, it will be enough to block them for a few more days. One of the generals said.
Carefully speaking, Xiangyangwei was not unprepared, at least he did a good job of hiding here. Since receiving Jingzhao's message, they have moved as fast as they can, and now that they have been placed, this general will be so confident.
After he finished speaking, someone in the council hall sneered: "Account book...... I really can't stop it, just burn it with a fire. Fires like this are inevitable, so let them go and check with the ashes. â
The person who spoke was Luo Yi, he was about thirty years old, and his face was very arrogant, and he didn't take the soldiers and his party too seriously. -- He has the capital to be proud, and now in the entire Xiangyang Guard, he is the highest martial artist.
Hearing this, Zhao Tong, a staff member sitting at the end of the left side, had a flash in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and besides, no one would care about him.
Luo Bingguang, who was at the top, did not speak, and his expression looked very ordinary. However, these people were too anxious to follow him, and they were very familiar with him, and they knew that he was in the worst mood when he was like this.
"Tomorrow morning, treat each other with courtesy, do not conflict with them, and put procrastination first. They have a holy decree in their hands, and now the court is staring at it, and it is impossible to fall into the handle! Finally, Luo Bingguang said.
Soldiers, huh. He will call these people to come and get nothing, and even if he does, he will never return to Jingzhao!
