For Tong Zhilang, Tiju Mashi, and Zhiheng Shanzhai Hu Youhuang, the war began long ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the official of the current department, he is not the first person, but he is the first person who takes the initiative to ask for a real difference, otherwise he will hang a false Yan of a certain county festival to push the official, and in the Beijing division with the same year, the classmates put wine and lie down, enjoy the envy of those who fall into the first place, the reverent sight of Qionglin's juniors, and throw out a game with high interest, and can also exchange it for a certain red powder, and ask him to be a guest of the scene, this is not a, who called people the first on the Ming gold list on the wall of the Liubu Palace that made the world's readers crazy...... Third place.

For Tanhualang at this moment, the glory of Donghuamen singing, Qionglin banquet dancing, official family praise, and royal street praise has long been gone, if it is really seen by those familiar people in the same year, the trick is not recognized, this black-headed and black-faced man, wearing a black-dyed short coat that exposes his hands and feet, and only the bun on his head can barely recognize that it is a Song man, that is the Hu Chengyu who was praised as 'Junyi' by the first emperor himself on the vertical arch hall a year ago!

You must know that if you take a scholar, appearance is also first-class and important, it determines not whether you can be on the list, but the ranking on the list, looking at the face is the law that is common in all time and space, and the appearance is a big killer that kills all rules, but it is useless for barbaric invaders.

"What the hell is up ahead?"

Not only his appearance, but even his voice has changed its tone, nervousness leads to urgency, urgency gives rise to panic, and the tone that comes out is sandy and hoarse, but I don't know.

"It's broken, I heard the merchants who fled back say that the Yuan people have invaded Ziqi City, those princes and nobles are dead and can escape, and the king of Ziqi should have escaped from the city, and no one knows where he went. Some people say that the Yuan people's soldiers are very strong, and at this moment, the front is only afraid that it is almost to grind. ”

Hu Youhuang was shocked when he heard this, Moju is a small town, he has been there personally when he first arrived, the biggest problem there is not that there are no soldiers, but that it is only a few dozen steps away from the border between the two countries, will the ambitions of the Yuan people stop there? He didn't dare to speculate, let alone imagine what he would do if it happened. His Hengshan Cottage is still some distance away from here, but there are not many troops on this distance.

Hengshanzhai is a border city, but it is not famous for the border city, there is the only horse market in the Great Song Dynasty, at its peak it can enter four to five thousand horses every year, it is the kind of southwest horse that is not much bigger than the dog, but it is the only source of military horses in the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of horse is produced in Dali, special mill, Ziqi and other places, since the Yuan people conquered Dali, the transaction has been decreasing year by year, the role of the horse market has been relied on, the position of the border city is highlighted.

At this moment, Hu Youhuang is leading a wide horse, the horse's head is almost as high as his head, originally he couldn't look down on it, but this side is full of mountain roads, how can there be the flat official road in the prosperous land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if you use your feet, you don't know how many pairs of boots will be worn out in a day, and you have to reluctantly try it, but this one can no longer be separated.

Unexpectedly, this kind of horse, not only has strong endurance and is not picky eater, but also has a very valuable advantage, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, it is actually an exceptionally excellent mountain horse. Therefore, it is not only for the military, but also for the caravan that walks in the middle, and it is best to use it to carry goods, Hu Youhuang, who is leading the Guangma, looks at the caravan that runs by from time to time on the mountain road, all of them are frightened, and they know that the truth is probably not only that, but even the merchants who travel widely have no way, and this time they are afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

"Lang Jun ......" can follow him to this kind of place, only the servant of the family is now acting as his entourage, and he doesn't know how the other party's face is anxious, he just came here to find out the truth, a real background that decides his own life.

"Let's go back."

Conceit is not the same as arrogance, fade that layer of aura, just a chicken separated from the power of the chicken, Hu Youhuang made a decision in a blink of an eye, Ziqi is just a small country, saying that the country has also lifted it, that is, the size of one or two counties, the number of soldiers in the country is only hundreds, how can you resist the army of the Yuan people?

It was self-evident where the army was heading, and at the thought of this, both the master and servant on the horse, galloped along the rugged mountain road, until the walled city, which stood between the mountains and valleys, appeared before him, and the bright red banner on the tower fluttered as before, and he was relieved a little.

Hengshanzhai can be regarded as a fortified city, and it is also the most important frontier fortress of the imperial court here, its history can be traced back to the former Tang Dynasty, when it was really a village, until the Song Dynasty because of the need to stabilize the border, the earthen city wall began to appear. The most decisive moment appeared in the fourth year of Huangyou, the ambitious Guangyuan Tusi Nong Zhigao rebelled, the first to break through was Hengshanzhai, that time the turmoil spread to nearly half of the Guangnan West Road, and the final result was to complete a legendary figure from a soldier to the ruling minister...... Di Qing!

After the pacification of Nong, the Great Song Dynasty changed its policy in the southwestern borderlands, from the scattered Tusi autonomy to a semi-subordinate state of the fetters system, and the number of fetters in Yongzhou, the center of the turmoil, increased from more than 10 to 44 at once, ranking first in the country.

And as the border defense of the Hengshan village, the original earthen wall has become a rammed earth brick standard city wall, the scope is more than three times expanded, become not inferior to the road rule Jingjiang Mansion of a strong city, even than the state of Xuanhua County is much stronger, after the south crossing, the horse market is prosperous, the status of Hengshanzhai has further risen, even the surrounding economy has prospered, all this has been maintained until Dali is wiped out in the hands of the Yuan people.

The city is not full of water terraces like other places in Guangxi, and large tracts of open space are used for military horses Boyi, but unfortunately the source is limited, and the trading volume is gone, so it is naturally depressed. Hu Youhuang, who was galloping on his horse, didn't even look at the empty horse market, and went up the hillside until he stopped the horse under the tall city gate, and he had already seen that the guards of their master and servant were hurriedly opening the city gate, and a small but very strong general came out.

"Zhizhai, how can you take risks in person, in case there is a good one, how can you explain to Shangfeng?"

"If you don't take a look in person, how can you be at ease, but let Commander Zhou remember it."

The system of the Song people is to control the military with literature, as the supreme administrator here, although his dispatch does not have the words of moderation of garrisoning soldiers and horses, but generally speaking, he can call the shots when something happens, but for the disparity in the words of this Zhou commander, Hu Youhuang not only has no guilt, but is also polite, as if he has really done something wrong.

All this was unimaginable before leaving Beijing, and what really changed him was not the various criticisms he received after arriving here, but what happened on the banks of the Cao'e River that night, which touched him deeply. A literati dared to ask for advice late at night, and took hundreds of officials to smash the bandits with unknown numbers, unknown equipment, and even unknown locations, and finally succeeded in one fell swoop.

The experience of that night made Hu Youhuang think a lot, although the sage book can educate the people, but the most important thing is the health of the country, without which nothing can be talked about, so he let go of the reserve of the reader, in exchange for the respect of the soldiers of the garrison, of course, love is not to talk about, that has to be a real feat.

That's enough, compared to responding to things in vain and disobeying the yin, his situation has been so good that it is heavenly, and when he goes to the state capital in person to return the military salary that has been owed for half a year, several generals including Commander Zhou are stunned, who doesn't know that Ma Zhaofu in Yongzhou City is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, and it is more difficult to ask for something from his hand than to kill him.

Quietly inquired about the background, then I knew what kind of person the new Zhizhai was, for them, the soldiers and ruffians who were far away from the border, not to mention Sanding Jia, that is, a reader who can compose poetry and literature is an extremely rare existence, if the champion is Wenqu Xing, then this Tanhualang, at least is also the White Tiger Star?

So this respect becomes respect, what kind of style do a bunch of rough men and soldiers respect you? Eat meat together, drink wine together, and talk no longer politely, how vulgar it is, I thought the other party would be uncomfortable. didn't think about it, but after a while, the stars in the sky didn't care at all, they took out their own money from time to time to buy wine and meat, and ...... with the people It should be a military fun, and a few generals and colonels combined, only to know that the other party's plan is not small, and it is by no means a formality.

In the next few months, Hu Xingsu traveled all over the villages and towns to which Hengshan belongs, saying that it was a village and town, but in fact it was a Yiren village between the high mountains and dense forests, looking at the farmers, asking about the hometown, and leveling lawsuits.

Therefore, the news of the Yuan people's mobilization of troops is not that they have planted any spies in front, but that there are returning merchants among the nearby villagers, and the news that they have been inquired about has been sent directly into the city, Hu Youhuang immediately decided to go on a trip in person, and unexpectedly became unobedient, this is the first time that Commander Zhou has seen his dominance, and at the moment when he opened the door to receive him, Commander Zhou saw from his face that things were really bad.

"Do you want to tell the state?" When it came to the big event, the soldiers no longer had a smiling demeanor, and they all looked at this polite officer.

In his own village, Hu Youhuang still did not put on the official uniform, but as soon as he sat on the main seat, his calm and graceful bearing came out, he glanced down, and all the military attaches who came were above the commander, as well as several subordinate officials in the village, this is all his team.

Hengshanzhai is stationed in a troop of soldiers and horses, the full name is called "Imperial Front Garrison Yongzhou Xiongluo Front Army", a total of six commanders, 3,000 people, because it is a higher proportion of soldiers available on the side, redundant soldiers are about one to one and a half percent, and the commander of this army and horses, is Hu Youhuang's mouth of the Zhou commander, Xiongluo Qianjun commanded Zhou Xing.

Although the person who spoke was not Zhou Xing, it was obvious that he represented his heart, and everyone looked at him to hear a decision. The enemy has not yet entered the country, and it is not necessarily appropriate to rashly warn, and it is a trouble if something happens, Hu Youhuang hesitated in his heart for a while, and stood up in the face of these hopeful eyes.

"Immediately send a messenger, Yongzhou all the way, Jingjiang Fu all the way, Jingshi all the way, immediately out of the list to tell the army and the people, the enemy is coming, or withdraw or hide, act quickly, this official will write." He paused for a moment, "Commander Zhou, from now on, the sentinel will go out fifty miles ahead, report once a day, and there will be a curfew in the city." ”

The house was in an uproar.

Commander Zhou and the others didn't think that they would hear this kind of answer, and couldn't help but look at each other, is this chief official crazy, they want to report the news to Yongzhou, and it is already the limit for the governor to decide, who knows that people will start preparing for war directly, in case this is not the case, a "provoke without permission, and make trouble out of nothing", which is the consequence of the civilian dismissal of the military general's head!

"Ladies and gentlemen, as soon as the enemy is broken, the enemy will be in a moment's time, and the official can expect the enemy to be lenient, and he does not want to miss the enemy, and he regrets it, the military newspaper and the list are written by the official, and you and others are acting on orders, if you want to blame, it is on the shoulders of the officer. Commander Zhou, according to reason, the official can't control you, but it is the responsibility to defend the territory, you should not be, just speak out, if you should not do it, then don't blame the official for using military law. ”

After getting along for so long, Zhou Xing has always thought that the other party is a good-tempered person, he never puts on a fight with himself, and he doesn't care about any rudeness.

When it comes to this, can I not do it? The left and right sides took responsibility, and he just followed it, in case it was expected, it was not the battle exploits in hand, of course, the premise was to defend the city.

"Since Zhizhai said so, what else is the lower official willing, I am willing to listen to Zhizhai's dispatch, and I will obey all orders."

Seeing that the top people all spoke, the remaining six commanders made several subordinates stand up with him and bowed to Hu Youhuang, and the relationship between the upper and lower moderations was settled, and only the parties knew that it could go so smoothly thanks to the relationship that had been established before.

Walking out of the village and boarding the city tower, Hu Youhuang looked at the right river water passing through the city thoughtfully, there are only 3,000 people in the city, plus the auxiliary soldiers and the people who are sheltered, and the number of people who can pick up swords and guns will not exceed 5,000.

"Tell someone to go and light that place."

One of the heads he called looked in the direction he pointed to, stunned, the Hengshan Walled City is close to the mountains and rivers, the mountain is towering into the clouds, there is a brick tower-like building standing on the mountainside, the top is open, the four sides are impermeable, it is not filled with the murals of the Buddhist shrine, but the firewood drenched with fire oil!

This is the fastest way for the Song people to deliver news...... Beacon.
