On the north side of the Great Inner Huiyou Palace, you will arrive at the Xuanwu Gate through the Taoguang Garden. Although the Xuanwu Gate is the northern gate of the Great Inner City, it cannot directly reach the outside of the city after this trip, and there are still several small cities.

On both sides of the Xuanwu Gate, there is a small city in the south of the palace wall for the Xuanwu City, the north of the palace wall is the Yaoyi City, and the Yaoyi City is the Yuanbi City further north. From Yuanbi City to the north, through the Longguang Gate can be regarded as arriving outside the real Luoyang City, that is, at the foot of the Beibi Mountain.

"The military affairs of the North Ya are different from the South Ya, and there is no setting of the Fangqu Ya Office, and the cities are only heavily guarded by the palace, and only the camps and stable......s are placed."

Zuo Yulin's general Lu Chongyu was responsible for introducing the acting king into the Qiancai camp, and along the way, he was also seriously explaining the difference between the military positions of the southern and northern ya.

The Nanya Zhuwei Mansion was scattered in the imperial city, and it was just a simple office, and the generals and soldiers under the command of the Qinxunyi Mansion and the military government under its jurisdiction were placed elsewhere, and if they wanted to dispatch people and horses, the military order must be approved by the political affairs hall to be effective.

However, the Beiya is relatively pure and flexible, and the camps themselves are dependent on the palace guard system and are distributed in the small cities on the north side of the Great Inner Palace, and the soldiers can directly adjust the scheduling.

During the Zhenguan period, the Beiya only had the left and right camps and flying cavalry, hundred cavalry and other military branches, and the generals and sergeants could directly participate in the guards and Gongcong.

However, with the gradual expansion of the Beiya system and the increase of armor, the barracks gradually became different from inside and outside, with the outside being the camp and the inside being the camp, the camp was used for rest and drills, and the camp was the assembly place when entering the guard.

Today's Beiya left and right Imperial Forest Army, with a total strength of 12,000 people, the left and right cantonment camps are located at the foot of Beibi Mountain outside Yuanbi City, but some special military types such as crossbow battalions and flying cavalry are still entering Yuanbi City.

As for the Thousand Cavalry, as an emerging military branch, it is currently located in Yaoyi City, which is next to the Xuanwu Gate. But Yaoyi City is not only a thousand cavalry barracks, there are left and right flying dragon stables on both sides of the Xuanwu Gate, outside the Xuanwu Gate is the Yulin army camp, and then the thousand cavalry camp.

As for the camping of the thousand horses, it is located in the Xuanwu City in the middle of the Great Interior, next to the flying dragon stables on the left and right, and the war horses in these two stables are also exclusively for the use of the thousand horses. But the one in charge of managing the idle stables is the palace platform of the forbidden middle division.

This series of arrangements, at first glance, is naturally intricate, but it is nothing more than a check and balance against each other. Although the Thousand Cavalry has become an independent military branch, it is still under the separate control of the North and South Governments. Li Tong is now dividing the thousand cavalry with the left Qianniuwei general, and the other thousand cavalry envoy is Wu Youning, the right Yulin general.

Lu Chongyu sent Li Tong to the Qianqi camp at the left gate of Yaoyi before he took his leave. The so-called Qianqi camp is just a common name, in order to be different from the left and right Yulin army camp, the official name is the battle of the internal custody.

From this title, it can also be seen that the current thousand cavalry is more similar to the king's private army, which was established by comparing the prince's inner mansion. Correspondingly, at the king's behest, the Thousand Horsemen in charge of the custody were to have greater autonomy and flexibility.

Li Tong sent Lu Chongyu away outside the camp, and he still respected this Hu general, at least on face.

The kings of the samurai family have been operating in the northern government for a long time, and the forbidden army system is so complicated from that of the southern provincial government office, he rashly intervened in it, and if there was no stable third party as a check and balance, he could not carry out his work in minutes.

Although Lu Chongyu's attitude towards him along the way was just ordinary and businesslike, as long as he was the same to the kings of the martial arts, Li Tong could rest assured.

However, what surprised Li Tong was that this Gaochang man looked like five big and three coarse, very heroic, but he was dressed in a pungent smell of incense, I don't know if it was to hide his body odor, or if he was so addicted. Although the smell was quite strong, Li Tong only didn't realize it, worried that some small actions would be discovered by Lu Chongyu, or it would be misunderstood as discrimination.

Li Tong stood outside the camp and took two deep breaths before walking towards the camp. Unlike his previous appointments in other official offices and subordinate officials, who were warmly welcomed and sent, at this time, there was hardly anyone else outside the camp except for the guards guarding the door to check the book order before entering. Before entering the camp, there was a breath of rejection.

Li Tong didn't care about this, and after the armor was released, he led Yang Simiao, Lego, and more than a dozen Qianniu guards to the camp.

This military camp is located in Yaoyi City, the layout is also long and narrow, an official hall is located in the camp, and the left and right sides are not small scale camp tents, which is indeed different from the style of the South Ya Hall, but there is a bit of original military camp taste.

Although Li Tong is now a general of Nanya, it is quite embarrassing to say, but he really has no chance to enter the barracks. So walking through the camp, there is no shortage of curious looks.

After walking for a distance, a few people walked in the direction of the yatang, wearing the unique beast Wen Rong clothes of the thousand horses, and the lines of the clothes on the chest of the first one were hidden like lions and tigers.

When they got closer, several people crossed their hands and saluted, and the person standing at the front said: "Long live the lowly thousand cavalry commander Shangguo Yi Deng, on the orders of the general, to welcome His Royal Highness the king!" ”

After Li Tong heard this, he bowed his head slightly, signaling the other party to lead the way in front, but Na Deng Wansui did not move, just pointed to the attaché behind Li Tong and said: "Thousands of horsemen are directly in the camp, and the garrison needs to be more cautious, and the idle flow should not ......be taken lightly."

Hearing this, Li Tong sighed in his heart again, there was really nothing to say. He has experienced similar scenes at least three or five times, almost every time he goes to a new position, and he has been a little numb now.

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he raised his hand and said, "Take down this madman who resisted the emperor's order and prevented me from entering the camp, let's go back to the palace." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the camp outside, and Yang Siqiao and the people in the rear stepped forward one after another, raised their arms and twisted their arms to restrain a few people, and then followed the acting king to the camp outside.

However, at this time, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the camp tent, which was originally a few idle people, and gathered here, and before Li Tong and the others stepped out of the camp, they surrounded them in groups, and their expressions could not be called friendly.

Seeing this, Yang Siqiao and the others hurriedly surrounded His Royal Highness, and the controlled Deng Wansui saw his comrades coming out of the camp to help, and there was no joy on his face, and he tried to raise his head and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Acting King has newly entered the camp, and he doesn't know the rules of the thousand cavalry, how can you and other soldiers rebel against the siege?" ”

Seeing this scene, Li Tong's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the crowd, but did not find any trace of Wu Youning, but saw several familiar faces, namely Brigade Marshal Guo Da and Zhao Changxing and several other former Qianniu guard officers who had joined Qianqi one after another. At this time, several people were also standing in the crowd of armor soldiers, and when they saw His Royal Highness the Acting King's eyes sweeping, they secretly shook their heads and waved their hands.

After a little muttering, he lined up Yang Siqiao and the others in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the king of Jianchang?" Does he not know that I have entered the camp today to take charge of the army? ”

Deng Wansui was twisted his arms, hunched his waist, and raised his head with some difficulty and said: "At this time of the day, the general needs to be in charge of the court, and the troops on duty are dispatched, and there is no time to meet His Highness, so he is ordered to ......be humiliated."

Hearing that Wu Youning was in the hall at this time, but he didn't come to see him, Li Tong sneered: "The king has given the envoy a new lead, but he is obsessed with the case, does not go out to greet him as soon as possible, and delivers the camp rules, which is really a veteran's talent, and it is useless!" ”

It's not interesting to bully the people below, Li Tong waved his hand, asked the reserve to let go of the controlled Deng Wansui, and shouted: "Come and see King Jianchang quickly!" ”

That Deng Wansui shook his painful arm, and stopped talking, but he still bowed his head and walked to the yatang. The thousand horsemen separated a path for Deng Wansui to cross, and then gathered again.

Li Tong stood in the crowd, pointed at Zhao Changxing casually, and motioned for the other party to step forward.

Under the eyes of his comrades, Zhao Changxing was a little embarrassed, but if it wasn't for the recommendation of the acting king, he would not be able to let a thousand horses straight, so he could only step forward, salute with his hands crossed, and said in a fast tone: "King Jianchang entered the camp early, and the soldiers are not allowed to go out of the camp to greet His Highness." Deng Wansui was born in a slave household and had no selfish friendship with King Jianchang......"

When Li Tong heard this, he immediately had a clear idea. It seems that this time Wu Youning did the opposite and set a small trick for himself. According to the usual situation, it should be Wu Youning's cronies who come forward to make things difficult for him.

But Zhao Changxing said that Deng Wansui was born as a slave and was not a member of Wu Youning's party. Such a person, if he does not rely on the general, but can be appointed as a Guoyi officer, he must have excellent military quality, similar to the existence of the king of soldiers, and can win the admiration and admiration of low-level sergeants. And because he was stubborn and inflexible, he used the camp rules to prevent Li Tong from leading his entourage into the camp, so this misunderstanding occurred.

In this regard, Li Tong also felt quite helpless, Qianqi-related information is similar to the existence of a black box in the two government systems, and the outside world is not very clear about its internal affairs process.

Lai Junchen's false accusation of the emperor's heir happened suddenly, before that, Li Tong did not expect that he would be able to contact the military power of Beiya so quickly, although there are a few eyes and ears in the Qiancai, but there is almost no opportunity to contact in daily life, so he did not inquire about the personnel situation in detail.

After all, in his opinion, it will be some time before he has to contact the military power of the Northern Ya, and when the time comes, there is no need to expose his hidden ears and eyes for some information that cannot be timed. Moreover, his style of acting has been figured out, so he stepped into the small pit dug by Wu Youning.

At this time, seeing that the thousands of cavalry sergeants had a bad attitude towards him, it was obvious that this first impression was not good, and they regarded him as a flamboyant and domineering man.

Not long after, Wu Youning finally walked out of the yatang, walked through the soldiers to Li Tong, and said solemnly: "What's the matter? ”

Someone in the crowd said: "His Royal Highness entered the camp on behalf of the king, Deng Guoyi followed the rules to prevent his entourage from entering the camp, which angered His Highness, and even arrested Guoyi and a few people in the camp, which violated the camp rules, and the lowly rank only got out of the account. ”

Li Tong saw the person who spoke in the crowd, and he was also dressed in resolute clothes, and secretly said in his heart that this time it should be right, this is Wu Youning's person, it turned out that he was hiding in the crowd and preparing to bury the pit.

Wu Youning frowned when he heard this, pointed at Li Tong and said, "The acting king is not short-sighted, why is he acting like this? The rules of the Qianqi camp are serious, how can they be careless with the Nanya idle guards! I lead the Yulin army and thousands of horsemen, and the case is heavy, how can I have time to ask you about these idle disputes? Single-mindedly, without asking about right and wrong, he directly took the commander of the battalion, this is the attitude of acting on behalf of the king? ”

Li Tong also sneered when he heard this: "If it weren't for King Jianchang, why would Your Majesty let me enter the camp again?" Before entering the camp, I felt that King Jianchang had elongated his teeth after all, and he could use one or two things. Now it seems that I think highly of you, if it weren't for your negligence in welcoming the delivery, why would there be such a change?

Each other is dignified, and I will not fight with the split eyes in front of your battalion soldiers, who is right and wrong, and sue Your Majesty! If Your Majesty had ruled that it was my fault today, I would not have fulfilled the camp of a thousand horsemen in this life! If you break your word and regret it, you can kill me if you have a lot of flesh and blood and bravery! ”

Wu Youning was originally quite complacent about his arrangement, but when he heard the words of the acting king, his face suddenly darkened.

He knew the deep meaning of His Majesty's envoy to send the Acting King into this matter, and if this matter really came to His Majesty, what kind of attitude His Majesty would be, he didn't know if it was ruling, and once the Holy Intention had a ruling, then he would have no face to stand in the Thousand Horsemen.

After a moment of silence, he condensed and said again: "On behalf of Wang Shaoyong, push the spirit, the Beiyasu guard has a heavy duty, how can two or three selfish intentions be decided!" Within the barracks, it is especially necessary to have strict laws and orders, right and wrong in the matter, the length of the barracks and regulations of their own military law, and angry words at every turn, how can the soldiers follow suit? You only complain that I am not welcome, but the importance of the military guards of the Northern Ya lies in the welcome and send-off of false courtesy? Your new arrival in the camp has already aroused the anger of the soldiers, and if this night guard fails, can you take on it? ”

"Military law camp rules? It turns out that King Jianchang still knows that there are military law camp rules? Then I want to ask you, what is the military law, what is the camp rule, and what is the camp soldier who can surround the general? You have been in the military for a long time, and the camp is in chaos, and you only say that I am angry and complaining? The accumulation of disadvantages is like this, how can it be overnight! The soldier lost his follow-up, and the sin did not lie with King Jianchang? If you fail to pass the Su Wei tonight, I will be guilty, but before I am guilty, I will first take the head of King Jianchang to punish you for the crime of failing to work for a long time and abandoning the Su Police! ”

Li Tong drank vigorously, then walked in front of Naguo Yi Deng Wanzai, saluted him, and said: "The general is too serious, and he can't deliver the camp rules in time, which makes me lose self-discipline." The sin is not Deng Guoyi, I have not judged clearly, I am solely to blame Guoyi, I am stupid and negligent, I hope Deng Guoyi will forgive me! ”

Seeing this, Deng Wanzai was suddenly a little at a loss, and took a few steps back, looking cramped and uneasy.

Li Tong didn't wait for others to answer, turned straight up again, glanced around at everyone present, and said: "Xiao Wang is a shallow and big thing, although he has a vain talent, but he is short of affairs and tempering, and he is even arrogant or arrogant. Deng Guoyi is not afraid of power, abides by the rules of the camp, and can be a teacher of one thing! Although I am ashamed of Deng Guoyi, but when you wait for the battalion to encounter trouble, you can promise that you are not at fault? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Changxing and several other army commanders took the lead in forking their hands and said loudly: "The lowly rank is discouraged, and the camp defense is overstepped, please surrender the general!" ”

Although only a few people responded, Li Tong was full of momentum, waved his hand, and said: "The camp rules are scattered, and the disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time, how can one of them be lost?" If I myself have failed to do what I do, who is the sinner? Nothing more about what is in the camp today! ”

Hearing this, there was a chaotic discussion in the crowd, but no one dared to respond loudly.

At this moment, Wu Youning took another step forward and was about to speak, but Li Tong ignored him, turned around and grabbed the Deng Wansui again, and said loudly: "The reason why the law is permanent is that the police should not lose, and it is definitely not a person's integrity and prudence!" Deng Guoyi, although you can keep it, you can't stop the camp from breaking the rules.

And order you to retrieve the rules of the camp, open the camp gate and around, and the soldiers will read and remember it in the morning and evening, and if there is any violation of the rules within the period, the punishment will be doubled! I am here with all the soldiers, the ink book is the letter, up to the king, down to the pawn, dare to violate the prohibition, will not be spared! ”

"The Great General is wise! Do things immediately, don't dare to make mistakes! ”

When Deng Wansui heard this, his face became excited, and he bowed his hands and replied loudly.

As Deng Wansui answered, the battalion heard a sparse response, and then connected into pieces, and after a while, a uniform shout sounded in the camp: "The general is wise!" ”

"All the soldiers will return to the camp, and I will discuss the matter with the king of Jianchang again!"

Li Tong raised his hand to signal Zhao Changxing and the others to follow him, and used his eyes to stop Guo Da, who was also excited and ready to stride forward, and ignored Wu Youning, whose face had become very ugly, and went to the yatang in the camp first. Of course, Yang Siqiao and other entourages were all removed from the camp by him.

The Qianqi Yatang is quite grand, but the interior furnishings are very simple, with only some basic table layouts. After Li Tong ascended the hall, he sat down on the main case, looked up at Wu Youning, who had a gloomy expression and then appeared in the hall, and his heart was happy.

You said that you, can't you honestly handle the handover, you have to do these dramas! Lao Tzu is the former and the latter, the so-called hard when it should be hard, and when it should be soft, you can also put down your body, see the prince, Corporal Lixian, even if it is pretentious, those grassroots campers still eat this set!

Wu Youning stood in the hall, looking at the acting king sitting in the main hall with the big horse golden knife, the feeling in his heart was naturally extremely complicated, and he didn't even know whether to sit or stand. If you are sitting, you can only sit in the side seat and divide the priority, and if you are standing, it is more like reporting to your superiors.

Li Tong put on a kind smile at this time, took the initiative to hand Wu Youning a step, and sighed: "The crowd is paying attention, and I did exceed the rules first, but since I am in charge of the camp, I can't do it without authority." Therefore, he was angry and self-defeating, in order to be able to get into trouble as soon as possible. If you offend, please forgive King Jianchang. Wang Naizongzhi is an elder, and he is the first to arrive in the matter, if there is no such tolerance and support, I would not have the face to sit in the hall. ”

When Wu Youning heard this, he couldn't help but be even more angry, forcing you to finish pretending, what's the use of saying this now?

He stood on the side of the main case, pointed to the case and said in a sullen voice: "I am in charge of the affairs of the two battalions, and there are more than a thousand horses in the case, and it is inconvenient to show it to others, can you ...... on behalf of the king?"

After Li Tong heard this, he hurriedly leaned back to avoid suspicion, and raised his hand to Zhao Changxing and the others: "If you don't move the case quickly, you will be with King Jianchang!" ”

Wu Youning saw that this kid was really shameless, so he simply stopped fighting for the seat, sat down on the side seat, and then frowned and said: "Since the acting king knows that there is no authority, he can't do it, offend me in front of me, damage my prestige, you ......."

"It's true that I didn't do it right, but I expect that King Jianchang will accumulate prestige here for a long time, even if it is a small set, it will not hinder the daily order. Please also rest assured King Jianchang, the so-called camp is wasted, but a matter of words, I know that King Jianchang has many cases, and occasional negligence is inevitable, how can you really participate in this performance. ”

When Li Tong said this, he sighed and said: "What's more, now that the DPRK and China have their own cases, Your Majesty is already irritated about this. The king and I are the youngest of the sect, and at this time we should work together to guard the forbidden palace, so that Your Majesty can rest easy.

The king of Jianchang led two battalions, and he worked very hard, and I used to be in the south of the ya, and I was already lacking in the case, and I enjoyed the food. Since Jun Enmin has been awarded, he should take this as the most important thing, of course, he does not dare to dictate himself according to the case, and if he cannot decide on major matters, he must consult King Jianchang! ”

Wu Youning's face trembled, and he didn't know what to say, and he felt that he could not get any clear result from staying here, and he couldn't get any clear result from entanglement with this scoundrel, so he put away some confidential documents on the case and gave orders, and said nonchalantly: "The affairs of the Thousand Cavalry and the Guards are complicated and detailed, and they are all extremely important, and they are unusual. Previously, everything had been managed in an orderly manner, and the acting king had not yet been profound, so it was best not to change it rashly. The detailed rules of the case have been handed over by the members of the case, and I will accompany them soon. ”

Li Tong smiled and nodded, just watched Wu Youning leave the yatang, and then recruited Zhao Changxing and other trustworthy people to start asking in detail about the various processes of the Qianqi guards.

What Wu Youning said before leaving was not to scare Li Tong, Qianqi, as one of the few parade guards in the Great Interior, was indeed extremely cumbersome in various regulations. There are many kinds of commands, wedge orders, written orders, passwords, and so on.

Among them, the talisman is used to pass through the palace gate inside and outside the forbidden palace, the wedge order is used to extract bows, crossbows, armor, war horses and other ordnance, the written order is used to sign and detain the patrol police on the way, and the password is used to interrogate everywhere on the patrol route.

There are more than a dozen kinds of various orders, among which the thousand cavalry envoys only have a few kinds of orders, wedge orders, etc., and the written orders are divided by each battalion, and the password is changed every month, and it is delivered by the ban.

The password used in this month, Li Tong was immediately happy when he heard it, it was actually his old work "Youth Xing", and it seemed that he was not completely influential.

Zhao Changxing and the others came to Qianqi not long ago, and many affairs could not be explained clearly, so Li Tong simply summoned two more Guo Yi to carefully understand the various camp rules and regulations.

The personnel structure of the Thousand Cavalry is still not lacking in simplicity, and the highest level is two Thousand Cavalry Envoys, both of whom are concurrently leaders. Then there were six Changshang Guoyi, who led six battalions of armor soldiers, each battalion was between four and six hundred people, and there were more than 3,300 generals in the entire thousand cavalry.

The one in charge of daily affairs is the six battalions Guo Yi, and under Guo Yi are twelve direct chiefs as assistants. Under the commander, there are twenty-four brigade commanders. The brigade commander is in charge of a tent of battalion guards, and the tent is divided into groups and troops.

The personnel structure of the Thousand Cavalry is basically like this, except for the officers in these battalions, there are not many civilian officials, only two military officers, one is in charge of the sigil, and the other is in charge of storage.

When Li Tong checked the runes, he found that Wu Youning had left another hand, and several important talismans, such as the talismans for entering and leaving the Xuanwu Gate, had been taken away by him in advance. In other words, if Qianqi wants to enter and leave the Xuanwu Gate to stay with the patrol police, he can only go through Wu Youning.

Li Tong is not too worried about this, compared with the rest of the martial family, Wu Youning has some small intelligence, and he can't blindly take it recklessly, so he still has to take it slowly. Take away the talisman, take it away, there is a kind of you don't let me enter the Xuanwu Gate!
