Chapter 592: Wuxi City [Part II]
Gongs and drums are noisy, and pennants are displayed.
Wuxi City, which has been silent for several months, has not been so lively for a long time.
Luo Zhen led a few subordinate officials, waiting outside the yamen of the Xuanfu Envoy, seemingly full of joy and encouragement, but there was a little sorrow between the eyebrows.
The victory of the officials and soldiers against the thieves, and even the capture of the barbarian chief Yahamer alive, although it boosted the morale of the people, but it was not necessarily a good thing for him and this Wuxi City.
A few days ago, when he heard that the Wuxi barbarians intended to go down the mountain again to attack and harass, Luo Zhen secretly sent people deep into the hinterland of the mountain, intending to appease the barbarians, at least until the imperial court counterinsurgency army arrived.
Who would have thought that the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the counterinsurgency army was still pinned down in southern Xinjiang, and the pioneer of the Beijing camp who arrived first did not know that the sky was high and the height was thick and stabbed the hornet's nest.
In this way, wouldn't all his previous hard work be in vain?
And if the barbarians are annoyed and angry, and gather a large army to kill down the mountain, with the current situation of Wuxi City, how can they resist?!
What made Luo Zhen most depressed was that these things could not be put on the table, after all, sending people to contact the Wuxi barbarians was only a decision he made in private, and he did not get the approval of the imperial court.
He even had to pretend to be elated in front of the people of the city to greet the stupid reckless man!
The book is not too much to say.
Luo Zhen smiled like this, and waited for about a quarter of an hour in his heart before he saw the ranks of officers and soldiers marching around the city, led by the beating of gongs and drums by the county officials, Shi Shiran walked towards this side.
And those ignorant and short-sighted people still cheered along the way.
Alas~
Luo Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, and a sense of pathos that everyone was drunk and I woke up alone, spontaneously.
But the situation was like this, he still had to put on a happy face, strode up to meet him, and said loudly from a distance: "Xu Qianhu is worthy of being a general in Beijing, and he has made such a great achievement without making a sound!" The official ......"
"Your Excellency!"
Before he finished the scene here, the Wuxi County Commander next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop his words, and reminded in a low voice: "That Xu Qianhu is just a deputy general, in order to deceive the eyes and ears of the barbarians, he played the banner of the main general, and the one who was really ordered to lead the troops to quell the rebellion was actually Sun Shaozong and Lord Sun." ”
Sun Shaozong?
The name seems familiar.
I can't think about it much at the moment, Luo Zhen hurriedly pretended to be abrupt, and laughed: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being the elite of the Beijing camp, this method of attacking the east and the west, and the soldiers are not tired of deceit, even the official has been kept in the dark." ”
As he spoke, a burly general in front of him had already strode up to greet him, and arched his hand: "Sun has seen Lord Luo!" ”
After a few steps, Luo Zhen still had to tilt his head slightly to meet his eyes.
Of course, this is also because Sun Shaozong only bowed his head slightly, and did not give full courtesy.
is still so arrogant in front of Shangguan, he is really an arrogant soldier!
No wonder he didn't even want to inform himself, so he went directly to the mountains to provoke those barbarians.
Luo Zhen became more and more unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to attack in front of people, so he had to let go of his hand and smirked: "Sun Qianhu came from afar, and secretly crossed Chen Cangsheng to capture the barbarian chief Yahamer, presumably he is already tired and tight, this official specially ordered someone to prepare wine and food in the yamen, specially for Sun Qianhu to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”
When he looked at Sun Shaozong, Sun Shaozong also took his demeanor and speech into his eyes.
There are many shadows, and I can see that this Lord Luo doesn't seem to welcome himself and others very much.
However, Sun Shaozong didn't care too much, smiled awkwardly, said respectfully, it was better to obey his fate, and walked ahead without giving in.
What a rude!
Luo Zhen's face finally couldn't help but collapse, even if he has merit, the difference between martial arts and martial arts in this context still has to be talked about.
How can there be a reason for a martial artist to be a subordinate official and rampantly walk in front of the civil official?
Even if it is a proud soldier from the capital, this kind of behavior is too presumptuous, right?
"Lord Luo."
At this time, the Wuxi County Commander on the side hurriedly came up again and explained in a low voice: "Lord Sun also holds the official position of the right senator of the Hebei Political Envoy, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, it should be before the adult." ”
The political envoy is on the right side of the council?!
Even though Luo Zhendang was a little dumbfounded, he secretly said that it was no wonder that this surnamed Sun could only be a peaceful courtesy.
Although the Xuanfu envoy had more military power than the ordinary prefect, he was one head lower than the prefect in terms of grade, and he was sent from the fourth grade.
The Senate is also from the four grades, and it is still the top of the province, even if it is not an official of the province, it is a matter of course that it is before the Xuanfu envoy.
It's just that......
This is obviously a fierce general who leads troops to fight, but how can he get a civilian position on his body, which is even higher than a military position?
Luo Zhen's mind was full of question marks, and he followed Sun Shaozong into the Xuanfu Envoy Yamen in a daze, and when he saw that he was about to sit down, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help blurting out: "I heard that there is a Qingtian God in the capital who judges Sun Zhizhong, but I don't know what the relationship is with Lord Sun?" ”
Sun Shaozong was about to sit at the table, when he suddenly heard Luo Zhen mention this, he immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "What Qingtian God said is just a promotion by the people of Beijing, it can't be true, it can't be true." ”
"It's really Sun Zhizhong in person?!"
This time, the horror in Luo Zhen's heart was far above Fang Cai.
Although it is thousands of miles away, Luo Zhen has read the news of Sun Shaozong's strange case more than once in the Di newspaper in the past two years.
It's just that Sun Shaozong's majestic figure is really far from the image he imagined, so he failed to combine the two in time.
However, after learning that Sun Shaozong was famous for his wit and was repeatedly commended by the imperial court for ruling the Shuntian Mansion, Luo Zhen had a lot of confusion in his heart.
In addition, they are all Wenchen identities [Sun Shaozong's transfer from Wujinshi is not listed in the Di Bao], and subconsciously there are many fewer estrangements and taboos.
Therefore, Luo Zhen gritted his teeth, and bowed to Sun Shaozong and said: "Since Lord Sun is in person, there is something unknown here under the officials, and I hope that Lord Sun will have something to teach." ”
Sun Shaozong naturally returned the salute: "Don't dare, please ask Lord Luo for advice." ”
I heard Luo Zhen ask: "Dare to ask Lord Sun, the army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion is now being detained in southern Xinjiang?" ”
In fact, the so-called counterinsurgency army is still on paper at all.
However, at present, Sun Shaozong has not been able to completely open up the situation, if he tells the truth, I am afraid that the morale that has just been boosted in the city will fall into a trough.
Therefore, he nodded vaguely and said: "At present, there are indeed only more than 1,500 people from Sun's department. ”
"Ahh
Luo Zhen clenched his fists and hammered heavily into the palm of his hand: "Since the army has not arrived, why did Lord Sun take the initiative to provoke the Wuxi barbarians?" Even if Tong Ximan is hit hard, the other four clans add up, there are enough people of twenty or thirty thousand, if they kill down the mountain in anger and shame, how can you and I resist?! ”
Speaking of this, he bowed to the end again: "I have heard that Lord Sun is very intelligent, and I think there must be a plan to solve the anxiety in Luo's heart." ”
In fact, Sun Shaozong was not prepared to explain something to the officials of Wuxi City.
After all, he still has the official title of senator on his head, even if there is discord, and all the soldiers and horses under his command are transferred to the local sequence, it will not be the turn of a mere Xuanfu envoy to govern.
However, after listening to what Luo Zhen said solemnly, and posing to ask for the lives of the people of a city, Sun Shaozong was not easy to ignore.
So after thinking about the rhetoric in his heart, he asked rhetorically: "Lord Luo, according to the current situation in southern Xinjiang, if the army is delayed, only I, 1,500 people, will be stationed in Wuxi City, do you think the barbarians will stay in the mountains obediently?" ”
"This ......"
Although Luo Zhen wanted to deny this assumption, when the Wuxi barbarians rebelled before, they had successively defeated more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, including reinforcements from this province.
Now is the time of arrogance, how can you take these two or three thousand soldiers and horses in the city in your eyes?
According to the analysis of the intelligence he heard, it is not surprising that the barbarians will inevitably come down the mountain again to plunder around the New Year's Festival.
At that time, Wuxi City will naturally bear the brunt of the attack.
Seeing that Luo Zhen was speechless, Sun Shaozong continued: "If you wait for the barbarians to take the initiative to attack, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city will inevitably be low, even if you have our help, this Wuxi City may not be able to be saved!" ”
Therefore, Sun Mou had to take the initiative to attack, first, to break through each and weaken the strength of the barbarians; secondly, it is also to boost morale, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city know that barbarians are not afraid; The third is to let the thief know that I can fight well, so that he has scruples. ”
"As long as the military and public opinion in the city are available, plus Sun's command also brings a lot of firearms that are the best at defending the city, it will not be a problem to resist the attack of the barbarians in a short period of time."
"At that time, Sun Mou personally led a small number of elites, chose the place where the barbarians were confidant, burned and looted, and then released rumors that were mixed with truth and falsehood, forcing the barbarians to be war-weary and want to return, why worry that these rabble will not be discouraged?"
"Therefore, the reason why Sun took the initiative to attack was to better defend this Wuxi City!"
"It's just the beginning now, after a few days of rest, Sun will continue to go into the mountains to fight for thieves, until the barbarians are terrified of our officers and soldiers!"
Although these words are seven true and three false, they sound reasonable.
After thinking about it repeatedly in his heart, although he still felt that it was not safe enough, he really couldn't think of a better idea.
Especially after learning Sun Shaozong's identity, he didn't dare to put his interactions with barbarians in private.
So in the end, he had to bow to the end again, and said with a wry smile: "Since Lord Sun has already made a plan, Luo has no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, but Lord Wanwang thinks of the people of this city and can act as safely as possible." ”
can always think of the people, this Luo Zhen is still a good official.
The two untied the knot, and then the guests and hosts sat down.
Seeing that the table was about to come up, Sun Shaozong was about to have a good meal, but suddenly someone reported aloud: "My lord, Li Yuanwai in the west of the city sent two barbarians over, it is said that they are the sons of the barbarian chief Yahamer!" ”
Get~
This can be regarded as a member of the father-son group.
I just don't know who can hold on longer when I am cut by a thousand knives. ()
