Chapter 52: Qingxu Movement
In the battle of Crazy Stone Valley, the prestige of the Long family army was revealed, because Zhuangwu was subordinate to Chengyang, not to Donglai, so the matter of the Long family army was inevitably known by Dongwu and Huangxian.
There was no big noise in Huangxian, but an official was sent to deliver a commendation order and a Han army flag.
However, it was different on the Dongwu side, and Fei De, who was now the Taishou of Chengyang, learned that there were more than 3,000 teams with complete armor on his side, and he was very suspicious of how the Long Family Army had obtained such a complete set of weapons and equipment.
Especially in the quartermaster case that occurred in Dongwu a few years ago, the county lieutenant Zhou Zhao was beheaded, Taishou Tian Yun was put in prison, and the assassin Shi Tian Kai had already given him a death order, so that he must find out the origin of the quartermaster case, but later this matter was affected by the Yellow Turban Uprising, Tian Kai did not continue to pay attention to this matter, and Fei De also turned the corner.
But Fei De never forgot the tragedy when Zhou Zhao was beheaded, as for the Yellow Turban thieves, Fei De firmly believed that this group of people suffered from scabies, as long as the private soldiers of the family came out, it would be easy to destroy these thieves, and when the old case was brought up again, what would he use to give Tian Kai an errand? So Fei Deming secretly sent four officials to inspect and inspect to find out whether the equipment of the Long Family Army was related to the Dongwu military quartermaster case.
At the same time, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, who were going to Pengcheng in Xuzhou to take up their posts, also got the news that the son of the Long family was shining in Qingzhou. Compared to Chen Deng's curiosity about Long Jun, Chen Gui's face sank like water at the moment, and there was a fierce light in the vulture's eyes.
At this time, he figured out everything, what auctions, what new wine was made by this dragon family, all to accumulate strength, for today, as for why Wei's people participated in it to support him, he didn't care anymore, the first wise man in Guangling was played by a teenager and lost his face, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at if he passed it out.
"Yuanlong, you said that my father reported to Lord Thorn Shi at this time that there were remnants of Western Chu in Guangling, will Lord Thorn Shi believe it?"
Chen Gui's words made Chen Deng stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, thinking that his father was deeply dissatisfied with Long Jun's previous deception, and glanced at his father deeply, Chen Deng did not speak.
Feeling his son's gaze, Chen Gui had no obstacle at all in his heart, thinking that Long Jun had played all the people in Guangling, even the Cao family and Zhang Chao had been deceived by this son, and he was definitely not the only one who was dissatisfied with him, as long as someone was willing to help him make a statement to Zhu Ju, then the Long family would definitely not be able to please him in Xuzhou.
"Yuanlong, my father doesn't hate this son for losing my face, but the wisdom of this son, it's unheard of, not to mention how old he is this year, let's just say that he played with most of the families in Xuzhou between applause, and in the blink of an eye, it set off such a big storm in Qingzhou, even the Yellow Turban Army can only avoid its edge. If he is allowed to grow up, Guangling will never have a foothold in our Chen family! ”
For his father's unfounded worries, Chen Deng put down the bamboo slip in his hand, sighed and said, "Father, the child just wants to ask you one thing, you have been fighting with Zhang Chao for so long, if Zhang Chao helps Long Jun speak at this time, and advocates that Long Jun return to Xuzhou to suppress bandits, what should you do?" ”
"Zhang Chao? Will he help Long Jun speak? ”
"Dad, don't forget that Long Jun is from Guangling, Zhang Chao can give them an official Han army identity, let them return to Guangling, and Long Yu's network, as far as I know, the reason why the Long family's business has expanded so fast is entirely because the Mi family has been involved, as for the Cao family, I heard that Cao Mengde, the son of the Cao family, has been an official in Luoyang, and the Cao family is fully supporting this person at this time, where can we find help? Rather than set up an enemy, it is better to have one more friend, just like my father said that the wisdom and foresight of the Long family are extraordinary, if we cooperate with him, even if we can't advance and retreat together, in the land of Xuzhou, we have less obstacles from the Long family, and it will be much more convenient to do other things. ”
His son's analysis and intelligence made Chen Gui's murderous intent a little lighter, and also made him feel relieved that he was getting older and older, and the Chen family would be handed over to him sooner or later.
Out of the intention of continuing to test Chen Deng, Chen Gui asked, "If I don't want to cooperate with Long Jun, I don't want to give up revenge, and I want him to help me deal with Zhang Chao, what should I do?" ”
Chen Deng pondered for a long time, and sighed lightly, "That's only the design Zhang Chao, start from Zhang Chao!" ”
"How?"
"I heard that the Long family moved to Tongjiabao in Yuxian County last year, Long Cheng and others have been protected by the castle owner Tong Yuan, there are more than 200 guards in the fort, Tong Yuan was called a gun god in Jizhou, if you want to design, you have to start from Tong Yuan!"
"Go on!"
"Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are sweeping all over the country, as long as Tong Yuan is related to the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, then even Zhang Chao will have to deal with Tongjiabao."
According to Chen Deng's design, Zhang Jiao is now rebelling in Jizhou, Tong Yuan has also been in Jizhou for a few years, as long as Tong Yuan is released to be implicated with Zhang Jiao, then Tong Yuan will not be able to escape the official censorship, once it enters the review stage, with the two hundred private soldiers in Tongjiabao, the Long family will definitely be suppressed by Zhang Chao!
This is still Chen Deng didn't know that Dongwu was also plotting against Long Jun, if this happened when Dongwu was exploring Long Jun, many things about the Long family would definitely be revealed, and when the time came, the loess would fall into the crotch of his pants, and it would become if it wasn't. I have to say that this plan is not poisonous!
-------------------
Dagu River is a relatively large river in Qingzhou, starting from Donglai in the north to Jiaozhou Bay in the south, passing through Donglai, Beihai and Chengyang. Long Jun was leading the Long family army along the Dagu River at this time, and he didn't know that there were people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou who were eyeing him, and even wanted to kill his family.
For several days, the Long Family's army marched extremely slowly, mainly to train the newly recruited five hundred soldiers and horses, so that they could quickly integrate into the Long Family's army. As for the captured horses, Long Junzai had already distributed them and formed a scout team of fifty people and a hundred light horsemen for special training along the Dagu River!
In this way, the Long family army marched while training, and finally in the middle of May, everyone entered the territory of Beihai, and as soon as they stepped into Beihai, Long Jun was afraid that Bu had learned the news of their coming, so he hurriedly sent out all the scouts.
Before Long Jun could get the news of Bu Ji, the inspection envoy from Tobu found them in advance, sent Fei De's commendation, and inspected the military camp of the Long Family.
The one who came to patrol was none other than Tian Yun's biological brother Tian Zan, Tian Zan saw that the military camp of the Long family army was neatly equipped and all of them were military iron armor, but their eyes were different, the officers and soldiers were wearing red armor, but the Long family army was wearing black!
Looking at Long Jun who was accompanying him with a smile, Tian Zan suddenly asked out loud, "General Long, I see that the armor of the Long Family's righteous army is neat, and it is all my Han army armor, I don't know where our armor comes from?" ”
Long Jun had already studied the countermeasures for this, and when he learned that Dongwu had sent someone here, Long Jun suspected that this group of people was not well-intentioned, after all, the equipment of the Long family army came from the Dongwu military quartermaster depot, and Long Jun had heard of the quartermaster case of the year, Zhou Zhao was killed, Tian Yun was abolished, and only Chang Shi Fei was spared because he was not involved much.
Bowing slightly, Long Jun said with a look of happiness, "This, don't mention it, I feel that we have gone shit luck, don't you know, at the beginning we lacked weapons and armor, and in the face of the Yellow Turban thieves, we suffered a lot, until the Battle of Crazy Stone Valley, we successfully ambushed the Yellow Turban thieves to seize these things, and after interrogation, I learned that Lu Tong's group of Yellow Turban thieves was to send these things to Jimo's Bu." After a pause, Long Jun continued to ask with a flattering smile, "May I ask Lord Tian, in addition to the prisoners, do the things captured by our rebel army also need to be handed over to the government?" ”
"No, of course not! The food and wages of the rebels are all prepared by you, so you should also dispose of the captured goods! ”
patted his chest, Long Jun made a fortunate appearance, making Tian Zan feel that Long Jun was still young and ignorant of the world, and he was happy in everything, and felt that it was impossible for the Dongwu Quartermaster Case to be involved with the Long Family's army.
Shaking his head and removing those unrealistic thoughts in his heart, Tian Zan continued, "Then so be it! General Long still has important things to do, so we can return to Tobu with a few of us! ”
"Won't Lord Tian stay for a few more days? Let's enter the friendship of the landlords! ”
"No, Chengyang still has a lot of things to deal with, so I'm leaving!"
"Well, we won't keep you adults anymore!"
After a polite gesture, Long Jun ordered people to prepare some captured finances and send them to Tian Zan and the others, so that they opened the barracks with the joy of a bumper harvest.
As soon as Tian Zan and the others were sent away, Donglai's envoy also arrived, and he was tired of these Long Jun, feeling that there was no real person in this group of officials, and he sent people over every day to reward him and give him no benefits.
Originally, Long Jun wanted Zhao Yun to receive him on his behalf, but he remembered that before he died, he shouted "The big husband was born in troubled times, and when he mentions the three-foot Qingfeng to make immortal achievements", he was instantly interested!
Ordered Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Ma Chao to be called to the camp tent to prepare to greet the Donglai envoy together, and after a while, I saw a young man who was more than seven feet tall and heroic and compelling walked into the tent.
Before everyone could speak, the person who came came clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Donglai is too guarded, and Cao Shi Tai has seen General Long!" ”
For a while, the needles in the tent could be heard, and it was surprisingly quiet.
After a while, Long Jun, who was the first to react, stabilized his mind, stood up from the main seat and walked in front of Tai Shici to help up this fierce general who was loyal and filial.
The other three leaned aside and whispered, "He is the Donglai Tai Shi Ci that the lord said before?" ”
"It should be, I see that this person has strong arms and steady steps, and his martial arts are definitely not under my wait!"
"Zilong, Zhong Kang will let me try him today and see if it is as the master said!"
Without the leisure to care about these three stunned questions, Long Jun's eyes were now full of Tai Shi Ci's figure, and he hurriedly said, "We are white, why do you have to make this big gift!" ”
Tai Shi Ci's face was straight, and he said solemnly, "Let's not talk about General Long's exploits in breaking Lu Tong's 10,000 Yellow Turban main thieves with 3,000 righteous troops, just say that he saved the people on the front line of Laoshan Jiaozhou, as a person from Qingzhou, he deserves the gift of Tai Shi Ci!" ”
Long Jun thought to himself, this guy is not a character who was greatly appreciated by Luo Guanzhong in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and said with a smile indifferently, "General Taishi has praised it, as the common people of the Han Dynasty, it is our responsibility to exterminate the anti-thieves!" I can't afford it, I can't afford it! ”
Seeing that Tai Shi Ci still wanted to discuss this matter with him, Long Jun hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I don't know if Lord Tai Shi came this time, I don't know what Yang Taishou commanded?" ”
Thinking of the right thing, Tai Shi Ci didn't continue to be polite, and took out Yang Zhen's commendation order from the back and then took out the Han Army flag that Yang Zhen gave to the Long Family Army!
As soon as he saw the Han army flag, Long Jun's face suddenly appeared ecstatic, with the Han army's military flag, it means that the imperial court has recognized their political status, which is what the Long family army needs most at present, otherwise when the merit is rewarded in the future, it will be sent away like Liu Bei in the previous life!
After the ecstasy, Long Jun felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Long Jun, as a native of Guangling, should give the official identity to Guangling, not Donglai.
Frowning, Long Jun pointed to the military flag in his hand with a hint of suspicion in his eyes and asked, "Is this what Yang Taishou meant?" ”
At this time, Tai Shici showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and explained, "General Long, forgive me, I suggested this matter to Yang Taishou, in order to hope that General Long can lead the Qingzhou military flag and rescue the people of Qingzhou." This is Ziyi's selfish intentions, and I ask General Long for forgiveness! ”
As soon as he heard that it was Tai Shici's idea, Long Jun didn't speak, and Ma Chao, who was standing on the side, suddenly said with a cold and angry face
"You actually designed it for my master?"
