Most of the pig warriors of the fifth battalion are from Guanzhong Lieutenant County, accustomed to thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, at the turn of spring and summer every year, the wild peach blossoms blooming on the mountains are scorching, and the willows on the banks of the Jingwei River are graceful and graceful, and the sky is full of waddles.

Since entering the Northland, the familiar scenery has disappeared, and they thought that the twenty or so days of marching in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau were monotonous enough. But it wasn't until they were trekking in the northern part of Anding County that everyone understood that the danger ahead was far from over.

Sometimes it is yellow sand and wild grass, the barren plain is endless, and sometimes the high mountains and huge moats are hindered in the front, and it takes a few days to get out. This land reached the Gobi, during which it was a full 200 miles, with no inhabitants, no trees, and very few water and grass, and the terrain was so barren that the army could only rely on the food it carried to satisfy its hunger, and even it was difficult to drink horses.

"Sure enough, Jun Sima and Xuan Zhu Bo are lying to us."

Someone muttered in a low voice, which won the approval of many people, what is rich than Guanzhong, this is two months away, and more than a dozen blisters are picked off on the feet, where is the fertile land?

The soldiers, who were entangled by heat and thirst, even had hallucinations, they saw a clear river flowing north wider than Jingwei, and saw the end of the bronze mountain that was gradually getting shorter, and the banks of the river were full of greenery, forests and grasslands, and there were many waters, and all kinds of small flowers swayed in between.

It wasn't until they stepped on the thick blanket of grass and saw the good horses, healthy cows, and fat sheep grazing nearby, and even lowered their heads and picked up a handful of stinky hot cow dung paste on the robe, that they were convinced that this was true.

It turns out that the end of the desperate situation is really a land of great wealth!

There is a layer of fertile black soil on the loess, two parallel ditches divert water from the Yellow River, countless acres of fertile fields have been opened up beside the canal, and the city Guo Yanran in the distance is really like the hometown.

The pigs were overjoyed: "Sure enough, Sima didn't lie to us, this should really be 'plugged into Guanzhong'." ”

The only drawback is that as soon as the local people saw the army crossing the border, they scattered as if they had seen a ghost - this is your attitude towards welcoming the king?

Occasionally leave one or two farmers who fall and sprain their feet because they run too fast? I'm scared to death? Zhang Yu comforted an old farmer with white sideburns in the past: "Don't be afraid, father, aren't we thieves?" Not even more so the Huns. Is it the official army? It's the king who is here! ”

The honest local farmer was even more trembling, and only muttered: "The one who is afraid is Master Wang!" ”

Fifth Lun smiled and asked him, "Why are you afraid?" ”

The old farmer stopped talking? It wasn't until the seventh fierce god frightened viciously that he stammered and said, "Don't talk about the robbers?" The Huns will leave after a while at most? It's like the wind blowing. ”

"The most afraid is the officers and soldiers, stop and don't leave, a few days ago, a large number of soldiers passed by, openly looting? Kill people without giving money and food? In the end, a lot of Ding Zhuang was arrested. ”

He immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wu Lun, for fear that the junior officer would be angry and cut himself off.

"This is another good thing that Xingjun has done."

Wu Lun asked a few more questions, and learned that this was the case, so he asked the living Xuan Biao to correct the old farmer's bones and let him go.

"Xingjun Sima? Dong Xi, a native of Maoling, is a member of the Great Sima Dong Zhong clan. ”

"And after I pretended to fall off the horse and shirk it? Enthusiastically ask for his life, and follow the envy army Sima who marched with the Xing army? Huaili people 'Ruchen'. ”

"The two of them have come all the way, and they are really in a lot of blood debt!"

Fifth Lun can't forget the corpse of Ding Zhuang casually discarded next to the North Tunnel? And the woman who was humiliated and tortured by the Xingjun? Those eyes that were wide open and questioned the sky.

And the pigs under his command are still excited? They heard that the soldiers were to be assigned to the counties to raise grain, and they all hoped to stay in the local area. This is Tewu County (now Wuzhong, Lingwu, Ningxia), which was called "Fuping County" before Wang Mang changed its name, and it is good to know just by listening to the name.

Xuan Biao also said: "The land in Tewu County is fertile and the ditches are convenient, and the Yellow River is used as a barrier to stay away from the Xiongnu, it is really a good place, Jun Sima, if we can stay here." ”

The fifth Lun head, he has learned the history of this place, as early as the Qin Dynasty after Meng Tian chased the Xiongnu in the north, he built the "Qin Canal" in this Tuntian.

At the end of Qin, this place fell under the hooves of the Xiongnu horses, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei and Huo to regain it, set up a county garrison, and moved a large number of people from Guanzhong, built water conservancy in Tuntian, and built a "Han Canal".

Under the irrigation of two canals, Fuping has become the richest county in the north, the population is becoming more and more prosperous, as many as 40,000 people, accounting for one-fifth of the population of the north, for a while, the degree of prosperity has been compared with Guanzhong, and the people are mostly Qindi accents, so it is called "new Qinzhong", everyone from Liewei County, and even can communicate with the locals without barriers.

As for the other three counties west of the Yellow River, they will be worse, and Han Wei, the Marquis of Tunhu, will be stationed there with a large army, so it is not very convenient to make trouble.

And the most important reason is...... According to Ma Yuan's letter, he and Wan Yu fell here!

Fifth Lun said: "There are also five battalions of envy, and it is not certain whether we can be assigned here." ”

But there is a spectrum in his heart, without him, just because Wu Lun had already greeted Liang Qiuci and gave this money-greedy officer countless benefits, such as sending free briquettes to his family in the next five years, and helping Liang Qiuci's manor in Duling also paint cement.

By the time they arrived at the camp of General Tunhu within the Qin Canal, the Xingjun and the army had already arrived for several days, and the Fifth Lun and Tumen Shao were only on the latter day, and they did not miss the deadline.

After they entered the camp and resumed their lives, Han Wei, the general of Tunhu, also began to assign the tasks of the next departments - in fact, it was to divide the territory.

The main force and soldiers all crossed the river and marched west with him, and went to Shanghe Nongdu Lieutenant and several obstacles to be stationed in preparation for the attack on the Xiongnu after the autumn.

The auxiliary soldiers were to be stationed in the eastern and western counties of the Yellow River, responsible for chasing down small bandits, and at the same time raising food and strong men to supply the army.

Among them, Tewu County has become the focus of attention because it has the largest population and the richest.

Han Wei's gaze swept over several military masters under Liang Qiuci's command, and even stopped on the fifth Lun for a short time, but he shook his head again, and said secretly: "Although Liang Qiuci strongly recommends the fifth Lun, saying that he is good at commanding troops and has the best military discipline...... But what's the use of good military discipline? Will you be able to get enough food? This son and woman are too lazy to be entrusted with important tasks. ”

General Tunhu looked at Sima Ruchen, who had the worst military discipline but had taken the initiative to ask for orders and trek with the Xing army, and issued a wooden tiger talisman: "Ru Sima, Nansi Township, Tewu County, you will garrison the troops!" ”

……

"Thanks to Dong Sima's beautiful words, the villain can get this fat difference!"

After the military meeting, Ru Chen, a native of Huaili, thanked Dong Xi for helping him a lot.

"It's not just me who speaks for you."

Dong Xi unceremoniously took the gilt silver cup presented by Ru Chen, and said with a smile: "General Tunhu is determined to attack Hu, and I hope that there will be enterprising captains and Sima under his command to help." ”

Speaking of this, they felt that the fifth Lun was too stupid, obviously holding a good hand: the emperor's attention, the lord of the attached city, the reputation of learning the art of war, the name of filial piety spread throughout the sixth lieutenant, and the appreciation and help of Liang Qiuci.

But the result? Because the fifth Lun did not actively respond to General Tunhu's generals, he didn't do it with a chicken's head, and he had to be a cow, which made Han Wei unhappy.

And when the people obstructed him in the north, Wu Lun did not cut through the chaos quickly, and killed dozens of people with Tumen to shock the county, but moved the trouble upward, which made Han Wei even more disgusted.

"Although my family background, fame, and title are not as good as the fifth Lun, I am diligent."

Ru Chen thought of the hardships he had paid along the way, and sighed, for two whole months, in order to let his group of useless pigs carry food and push the cart, and keep up with the pace of the Xingjun walking fifty miles a day, he was tired to death half of the people.

It's okay for the pigs to starve, they must give food to Dong Zhong's pawns to eat, and when Dong Sima is comfortable, he will help him.

When there were too many deaths and there was a shortage of manpower, he urgently arrested Ding at the station, and finally he was able to chase the Xingjun army to Tewu.

In addition, it is necessary to cooperate with Dong Xisima's pawns to rob food and torture the money of the Chinese family, otherwise, why is everyone rushing to be a revitalizing army? Isn't it for the sake of first-come, first-served along the way, so that the officers can make a small fortune, and the morale of the soldiers rises sharply in the venting?

In this way, Ru Chen can seize the opportunity to turn over in one fell swoop and make the fifth Lun disgraced.

Now get the richest in the southern part of Tewu County, surrounded by Qinqu and Hanqu, the county has 40,000 mouths, 30,000 people are concentrated here, in the eyes of Ruchen, they are like crops after autumn, and they can use the command of General Tunhu to show their hands and feet, meet the army's grain search at the same time, make up for the cost of this expedition.

Dong Xi reminded Ru Chen: "But Don't be too careless, you still have to immediately supplement Ding Shu and train him, I heard that in the upper reaches of the Kushui River in the south of the county, there is a bandit of hundreds of people. ”

When he returned to the camp, Ruchen met Wu Lun on the road, and only smiled and bowed his hand to him.

Fifth Lun also looked as usual, smiled and returned the salute to Ru Chen, and congratulated him: "Ru Sima, in the future, you will be stationed in the south of the county, and I will be stationed in the north of the county, you will be a friendly army, and you have to help each other." ”

Ru Chen agreed, but after the fifth Lun walked away, he sneered: "Mutual assistance? Dream! Dirty work and tired work to hide behind, when encountering fertile land, they rush to occupy it, how can there be such a good thing in this world? ”

"This time it was the fifth Lun miscalculation, he thought that he would be able to lean over to pick up the fruit by pleasing Captain Liangqiu, but he didn't expect that the fruit had been picked up by me, and what fell into his hands was only a sheep dung ball!"

……

"Tewu County North?"

Back in the camp, the seventh biao was greatly disappointed when he heard about the station of the fifth lun.

"I have inquired, this Tewu County is divided into two by the Kushui River, the essence of wealth and hukou cities, are concentrated in the south of the county, and although the north of the county is vast, it is close to the mountains and Gobi, mostly grasslands, and there is no advantage of ditches."

"It doesn't matter."

Fifth Lun turned to ask Xuan Biao: "What did you ask about, do you have eyebrows?" “

Xuan Biaoyu reported: "I secretly asked a few people in the fields, saying that in the upper reaches of Tewu County, there is indeed a 'thief' who haunts the mountains every three or five times, but most of them rob the rich and help the poor, and they do not offend the people. ”

Fifth Lun bowed his head and breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Seventh Biao was still muttering there, he felt that Fifth Lun should not have turned down the opportunity to perform with Xingjun in the first place, and shook his head and said, "What's the hurry." ”

"Let's look at that Ruchen Sima, how long can you stay in the south of the county!"

He asked the two of them to step back, and immediately flipped through his little notebook, and along the way, there were many people on the long list.

Fifth Lun became more and more aware of what his goal was on this expedition.

He was pessimistic about attacking the Huns and did not want to be cannon fodder.

I am not interested in helping to exterminate the so-called "thieves" in order to abuse them, and the biggest thief is not the king of the new army?

He flipped to the latest volume of the small notebook, and on it, two × names were prominently listed!

Pig Raid Yongjia Battalion, Army Sima Ruchen; Under the command of General Tunhu, Sima Dongxi of the Xingjun Army!

"What I want to do most right now......"

The fifth Lun drew a big slash on the name of Ru Chen!

"Hit your allies!"
