Chapter 57: Shanyu Pass
"Brother Zhong, please come back-"
Seeing that Zhong Bai was still standing in place, quietly looking at this side, Xiao Yuan also waved at him after turning over and getting on his horse.
From the realization of the righteous knot Jinlan, the two can be said to be like-minded.
Liang Yuan was following Zhong Bai, and when he saw that the team was far away, he couldn't help but remind: "Childe, General Xiao has already left." ”
"Hey!" Zhong Bai sighed and said, "Once I go, I don't know what Brother Xiao's future will be." ”
"General Xiao is the same as Gongzi, they are both young talents, and I believe that after he arrives in Qinzhou, he must also have his own natural appearance." Liang Yuan comforted.
"I hope so." Zhong Bai said a word, and then said, "Besides, how is my father and little sister doing?" ”
"I've arranged for someone to pick up the lord and the lady." Liang Yuan returned: "The General's Mansion is also being purchased. ”
"Well, let's go." Zhong Bai nodded and left here.
On the other side, the team was walking unhurriedly, Xiao Yuan was riding a war horse, and he was followed by Peng Shuang, Liu Yuzhi and others.
Thinking of Xiao Yuan's words just now, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but say, "The general is worried about Zhong Gongzi. ”
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly, and said: "I am far away from right and wrong, but Zhong Bai is in the political whirlpool, in the middle of the court competition, the empire is decaying, his situation is actually very bad, but I can't persuade him, so I didn't speak, because I know that he wants to help the society......"
"The general is right, now that the world is in disarray, Kuang Fu Sheji, starting from the rotten court, I'm afraid it won't play a role." Liu Yuzhi also sighed slightly.
"The world is unpredictable, let's go." Xiao Yuan interrupted the topic.
Qinzhou is located in the bitter cold land of the border, if you look at the entire territory of the empire, it is in the upper left corner, and the imperial capital is located in the middle, the distance between this is not more than thousands of miles.
Therefore, by the time Xiao Yuan and the others arrived in Qindi, it was already more than half a month later.
Shanyuguan.
This pass is a dangerous pass, but it is in disrepair, it has existed for thousands of years, it is the throat of the northwest, and after here, it will completely enter the territory of Qindi.
Right now, Xiao Yuanzheng led two thousand armor soldiers to the front of the pass.
The previous Qin land was not affected by the turmoil, and the defenders of this pass were not to defend against any foreign enemies, so there were not many of them.
But when they saw these two thousand armor soldiers, the defenders on the city pass were still startled, and a young general immediately fired an arrow indiscriminately downward, shouting: "What person! Dare to lead the troops to knock! ”
The arrow was nailed to the ground in front of the team, and when Peng Shuang saw this, his nose was almost crooked, and he immediately glared and shouted:
"Bold! Lord Taishou is here, and he doesn't switch it on yet! ”
Now Xiao Yuan is the Qinzhou Taishou appointed by the Son of Heaven, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he also has an imperial flag in his hand, in ancient times, there is no need to say much about the power of the name.
Hearing this, the defenders of the city widened their eyes, and then, without saying a word, the young general who released the arrows screamed, turned around and ran down the city wall, obviously reporting.
This guard general, named Wang Lin, the new Qinzhou Taishou, he has heard about it, after learning the news, how dare he slack off, and hurriedly took his subordinates to personally open the city to greet him.
You must know that the Taishou of Qinzhou is the highest administrator of Qindi, to put it bluntly, Xiao Yuan's words can determine Wang Lin's future, how can he not panic.
When he saw Xiao Yuan, the latter showed his official certificate to prove his identity, and Wang Lin also quickly knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Wang Lin, welcome Lord Taishou." ”
"The general is exempt." Xiao Yuan said: "Do you still need to see the official seal and the holy decree?" ”
"Oh, adults are really good at laughing, how dare the general." Wang Lin smiled all over his face, bent over and said, "My lord, please enter the customs." ”
Just kidding, the dignified Qinzhou is too guarded, who dares to pretend to admit it, after Xiao Yuan led his troops into the customs, Wang Lin also farted all the way, and he couldn't stop stammering behind him.
Right now, the defenders in the pass were staring at Xiao Yuan with wide eyes, and when Wang Lin saw this, he scolded angrily: "What are you doing in a daze!" I've seen Taishou-sama yet! ”
"Huh?" People were shocked, and they hurriedly saluted, and said in unison: "I've seen adults." ”
"Quick! Lord Taishou has been tired all the way, so why don't you hurry up and prepare wine and food to wash the dust for the adults! Wang Lin commanded again.
"Yes!" A young player left in response.
"Alright, alright." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, he could only smile bitterly at Wang Lin's attitude, and after a week of casual inspection, he also looked at Wang Lin: "General Wang, the armament of this mountain pass is too shabby, right?" ”
This garrison has only a thousand people, and for many years, there has been no war, and the sergeants and sergeants who stayed here are just messing around.
Needless to say, Wang Lin heard this, and said: "My lord doesn't know, Qindi is bitter and cold, poor, it's already good to have these armaments, the last general has served in Shanyuguan for five years, many times, the grain and grass have to rely on themselves to find a way, not to mention the military salary, it has not been paid for three months." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, and asked again: "Before the official came, who was in charge of Qindi?" ”
"Governed by Governor Shi Guoqian and Lord Guo." Wang Lin replied.
If Qin is compared to a country, then the history of the governor of Qin is equivalent to the prime minister, and the post of Taishou was vacant before, so he naturally became the person in charge.
"Then in this case, Lord Guo doesn't care? Or did you not report it? Xiao Yuan asked again, after all, no matter how there is no war in Shanyu Pass, then this is also a pass.
"This ......" Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's not that I didn't report, it's just a small mountain pass guard, Lord Guo said that the treasury is vacant, and taxes are difficult to collect, so there is no money to send food, and there is no way to be lowly in my position. ”
"Yes, I see." Xiao Yuan nodded, knowing what he knew, and didn't talk about this issue anymore.
Next, Wang Lin made many requests to wash the dust for Xiao Yuan, but it was difficult to refuse, and Xiao Yuan did not shirk it again.
There was not enough military food here, but in order to please Xiao Yuan, Wang Lin took out all the old bottoms he had in his private collection, and at the banquet, he couldn't help but toast, and said with a shy smile:
"Lord Taishou is newly appointed, and in the future, the entire Qinzhou will be under the rule of adults, and I hope that the adults will be promoted more, and the humble positions will be taken as the head of the adults."
In Wang Lin's heart, Shanyuguan is a place where he eats and waits for death, he naturally doesn't want to stay here, and Xiao Yuan's words can also transfer him away.
Therefore, he is what is nice to pick up and say.
