Chapter 392: Romance is unreliable
Qin Qiong listened to the words of Yingyang Lang General Zou Tai, and was a little confused, I don't know why he would talk to him today? These days, I am decent, I don't seem to have offended him, right?
"General Zou, his subordinates think that his skills are indeed to serve the country, but in these barren years, Shubao has achieved nothing, and when he talks about big ideals, he seems to have passed the age of blood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zou Tai said earnestly: "Uncle Bao, you are so arrogant, General Hu'er was very optimistic about you back then, and then the Great Sui Chengping for a long time, there was no war in Shandong, so it was idle, grazing Nanshan, putting aside the soldiers, now it is different, the crusade against Goguryeo, is the last battle of the Great Sui, after conquering it, the Great Sui is really no opponent, the four seas are pacified, and enter the peaceful and prosperous era." ”
Qin Qiong sneered in his heart, with a sigh, because he witnessed the regulations of the Great Sui in recent years, digging canals, repairing Luoyang, repairing the Great Wall, opening the imperial road, conquering Liaodong, abusing people's power, Shandong is just the hardest hit area, most of the strong men were sent out to work, the Zhuang family was barren, the Yellow River burst its banks, all kinds of disasters and famines continued, the people were displaced, and the society withered, which was very serious.
When he was in Qi County, he saw many disaster victims, homeless, men in order not to be drawn out, tired to die in other places, have cut off one of their arms, to avoid the government's conscription, forced labor, called Fu hand, Fu foot, and, in the Changbai area, there is Wang Bo has occupied the mountain as the king, uprising against the imperial court, the land of Qilu, many people responded, drilled into the mountains and forests to become bandits.
In such a world, how can the four seas rise to peace and reach prosperity?
Qin Qiong was silent and stopped talking, because he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of General Zou Tai today.
Seeing that he was calm and his face did not change, Zou Tai coughed dryly and said, "Uncle Qin, tell you frankly, your opportunity has come." ”
"What opportunity?"
"General Luo Cheng is in front of the palace today, to His Majesty to ask for another army, to replenish the casualties of the team, he ordered our Shandong Province soldiers, from now on, 50,000 people are under his command, to conquer the city, he asked me what brave people in the army, and know how to lead the troops, I totaled, and reported you too, what a coincidence, Luo Cheng seems to have a little impression of your name, it may be that General Hu'er mentioned it, that's it, after a while after General Ben led the troops over, you have to go with me to see General Luo, he has another important use of you!"
Qin Qiong paused for a moment, General Luo Cheng wants to see him? For this young young man Guanwuhou, he has heard of it, the world is famous, he also has some admiration, after all, he became famous at the age of fourteen, relying on his own ability, creating a prestige in the frontier, and relying on himself to rise step by step, this kind of courage and courage can be compared with extraordinary people.
At this time, his mind was a little more active, if it was really Commander Luo Cheng who wanted to see him and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, he would finally have room to display his skills.
Qin Qiong sighed a little, it is not that he is incapable in these years, but that the local government soldiers and militia are united, and there is a lack of training, and it is no longer for the purpose of fighting a war.
After he became the leader of the team, he was registered as a soldier in the government, and he was not allowed to leave without authorization, and he was trapped in the place, because he disdained to bribe the commander and was afraid of giving gifts to horses, so he never got a quick promotion.
When Qin Qiong was in his twenties, he did get the appreciation of coming to Hu'er, and later Qin Qiong's mother died, and Laihu'er also sent someone to hang the letter, and after other generals learned about it, they asked Laihu'er, saying that there are many soldiers in the army, low-level officials, weddings and funerals at home, and I didn't see the general send someone to participate?
Lai Hu'er replied at the time, Qin Qiong, a young man, has real skills, extraordinary appearance, will become a great thing in the future, and has a great future, how can he be the same as others?
It's just that later, due to the lack of war in the Qi County area, Laihu'er was transferred, and he didn't have time to promote Qin Qiong, just like that, his future became confused, and there was no big improvement.
In the second expedition to Liaodong, Qin Qiong followed the government soldiers in the land of Qilu, and after converging and reorganizing, he came to the front line, and he felt that his opportunity might really come.
It's just that the opportunity came a little late, and now the court is corrupt and stormy, and the mood of serving the country is no longer as excited and enthusiastic as when he was young.
People will always change, all the time, because of the environment, the pressure of life, change some of their ideas.
There is no such thing as a static person, but innate factors such as temperament and character may change less.
Zou Tai praised Qin Qiong, and revealed that being able to be excavated this time has a lot to do with his recommendation, which is like a big favor.
No matter how loyal Qin Qiong is, he can still hear the taste, nod slightly, lukewarm, and salute with his fists, saying that he has thanked him.
Half a day later, Zou Tai took 50,000 soldiers and horses, pulling tents, materials, weapons, some grain and grass, cooking utensils, etc., to the camp of Luo Cheng, three miles outside the eastern gate of Pyongyang.
Xue Shixiong and Wei Wensheng were responsible for receiving and reorganizing, dividing up half of Zou Tai's men and horses, selecting some elite armor soldiers, and leaving him only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, waiting for him in front of the palace, which can be regarded as a substitute force in this batch of troops.
Zou Tai didn't care, as long as he could serve in Luo Cheng's army, the survival rate and standing power were the largest, he took Qin Qiong and came to Luo Cheng's.
Inside the big tent, Luo Zhaoyun was studying the sand table map, and when he learned that Zou Tai and Qin Qiong were asking to see him outside the tent, he immediately let people in.
"The last general, Zou Tai, meet General Luo!"
"Subordinate Qin Qiong, meet General Luo-"
Luo Zhaoyun nodded calmly, and did not get carried away because of a well-known historical hero in front of him.
He directly ignored General Zou, but looked Qin Qiong up and down, the hero with the most pen and ink in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, what horses stepped on both sides of the Yellow River, beat one hundred and eight counties in six prefectures in Kyushu, Shanxi, and half of the sky in Shandong.
However, Luo Zhaoyun has lived in the Sui Dynasty for ten years, and he no longer believes in those romances and commentaries, he looked at Qin Qiong, with a tall figure, a burly waist, a little red face, a beard not long, he looks capable and mature, and his face is a little weathered, and the years have left traces on the face of this thirty-six or seventeen-year-old man.
Qin Qiong is no longer young, similar to a middle-aged uncle, seventeen or eighteen years older than Luo Zhaoyun, and the two are not cousins.
"General Zou, will you move all the soldiers and horses over?"
"General Hui Luo, all of them have moved into the camp of the Luo army." Zou Tai replied respectfully.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "Okay, you are new to the camp, there are many rules to know, and there are adjustments, which are enough for you to be busy, so let's deal with it now, this Captain Qin Qiong, stay here for the time being, I have a few words to ask." ”
Although Zou Tai still wanted to stay, set up, and pull the relationship, but he didn't think about it too much, and he was not familiar with it for the time being, so he mainly obeyed the order, clasped his fists and saluted, and then left the big tent.
"Come, give me a seat!" Luo Zhaoyun spoke directly, asked the guards to bring a chair, gave Qin Qiong a seat, and then talked about things. (To be continued.) )
