Chapter 23
"Hahaha, Brother Wu understands people, we will arrive in the afternoon, Yu Chi Xiaolangjun and Wei Chi Xiaoniang have only been in the Li Mansion for so many afternoons, Li Keju can't wait to plan a counterattack together, if Guo Mou expects it to be good, they have indeed reached the point where water and fire are incompatible." Guo Jia's eyes were shining, as if this situation was in his arms.
Wu Mourning seemed to understand Guo Qizuo's thoughts, smiled slightly, and was noncommittal.
Only Zhu Li looked puzzled, the two glanced at him, and Wu Mourning explained: "How is your martial arts, Li Keju can't know, the reason why you are used to deal with Li Congwei must be due to the credit of Yu Chi Xiaolang and Yu Chi Xiaoniang, during the dinner, when you and Li Congwei competed, she also stood up and dealt with Li Quanzhong's riot for you, it can be seen that she is the insider." β
"Yes, we went north this time, there are about 4,500 people who can fight, this force is definitely not small, if Li Keju and Li Quanzhong are dirty, it is impossible for Li Duhu not to make a fuss about us, Lu Long's soil emperor is not done in vain." Guo Jia added on the side.
"Did the master and Mr. Guo say that the competition at the dinner was deliberately arranged by them?" Zhu Li finally came back to her senses and couldn't help asking.
"Of course, as far as I know, the two armies stationed in Danzhou are the Zhenyuan Army and the Weiwu Army, one of which is in the hands of Li Keju's cronies, and the other is in the hands of Li Quanzhong. Guo Qizuo speculated.
"Whatever, since Zhu Li has obtained the position of Beikou guard, we have no choice now, even if we don't want to fight Li Quanzhong, we are right now." When Wu Mourning heard this, a look of determination appeared on his face.
Following.
Li Keju sent someone to send a fish talisman seal letter, Yunqi Duwei is a five-grade official, and he can already wear a fish bag, although it is copper, but this is a status symbol after all, until this moment, Zhu Li can be regarded as really getting rid of the name of the thief and becoming a genuine official army.
Coming with the fish rune seal letter, in addition to Li Keju's servants, there is also the little lady Yu Chi Jin, Yu Chi Jin came in person and conveyed Li Keju's secret order, Li Keju has only one request, no matter what means Zhu Li uses, he must ensure that Beikou is completely in his hands.
After receiving the letter of the fish talisman seal, Zhu Li, Wu Mourning, Guo Qizuo, Zhang Guiba, Pang Honggu and several others immediately led the crowd to set off, in addition to their original command, 3,500 people, Li Keju also allocated them a Yue cavalry, about 1,200 people, Yunqi Lieutenant is not called in vain, so it can also be seen that Li Keju gave Zhu Li is not an empty hat, he really wants him to do something in Tanzhou.
More than a thousand relatives of the bandits stayed, and Wei Chijin promised that they would be properly arranged, and several people had no doubt about this.
Beikou is the town of Gubeikou (present: near Miyun District, Beijing).
There is no doubt that this is a military town, due to the invasion of the Khitan and Xi people two months ago, the previous Beikou guard and the defenders in the military town were almost killed, and when Zhu Li and others arrived here, there were only three or two kittens and puppies left.
The remaining guards in the entire military town did not add up to a hundred, but these more than 100 people, all of them were resolute and fierce soldiers, and no one had a sad look on their faces.
"Excuse me, who is Captain Zhu Lidu?" A thick and heavy voice sounded, and a burly, majestic officer appeared in front of everyone, his expression was resolute, his appearance was majestic, and in the face of the sudden arrival of so many people, this officer did not seem to be nervous at all.
Seeing this person, in Zhu Li's mind, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" appeared again, and the roaring voice suddenly rose: "Gao Yuan, the heroic soul Gao Shun, the body in the world, Gao Shun, the words are unknown, the Eastern Han Dynasty Lu Bu is a Zhonglang general, innocent and majestic, loyal and unyielding, the originator of the battle, the heroic soul is unyielding, the world is helping the people, the heroic soul is present, and the mountains and seas are returned." β
With the appearance of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in Zhu Li's mind, Gao Yuan, who was expressionless, seemed to be also pulled by the darkness, and looked at Zhu Li suddenly, in his eyes, he only saw = a young man, with a black helmet and steel armor, a sword and a spear, sitting on a black war horse with a long look.
Seeing this young man, a trace of excitement suddenly appeared in his heart, it was the joy of a good horse to meet Bole, it was the joy of realizing his heart in an instant, with such a mood, Gao Yuan suddenly knelt on one knee, respectfully gave Zhu Li a big salute, and arched his hand: "Subordinate Gao Yuan, I have seen Du Wei." β
Zhu Li was also stunned when he saw Gao Yuan, this is Gao Shun's living body, in Zhu Li's heart, in the Three Kingdoms era, although Gao Shun is not obvious, but he is a real soldier, innocent and majestic, not to be left behind, the lord is dead, such a general, is giving him 10,000, he is not too much.
Zhu Li came back to his senses, immediately jumped off the horse, walked in front of Gao Shun in person, helped him up, and said gently: "What kind of position does Mr. have in the army?" β
There is no way, the Tang Dynasty called each other, especially men with official positions, all called each other's official positions to show respect, he and Gao Yuan met for the first time, they didn't know what position he was in, and they didn't dare to call him rashly, so they took the lead in asking.
"Back to the lieutenant, Gao is now serving as a brigade commander, and almost all the remaining brothers in Beikou are under Gao's command." Following Zhu Li's gesture, Gao Yuan slowly stood up, and at the same time answered Zhu Li's question.
"Brigade Commander Gao is not polite, everyone will be brothers in the future, I have just arrived, many situations are unknown, and I have to rely on Brigade Commander Gao for more advice." Zhu Li was polite with Gao Shun, and turned back to the army and ordered: "Let's camp in place first, Master, Mr. Guo, Brother Guiba, Big Lady, Brigade Commander Gao, Lu Yong, let's have a temporary meeting first." β
"Well, that's how it should be." Wu Mourning approvingly.
"Hehe, it seems that the captain is getting more and more mature." Guo Qizuo also echoed with a smile.
The meeting lasted for a short time, and the main thing was to integrate everyone's opinions and assign tasks.
Zhu Li asked Zhang Guiba to serve as the lieutenant of Guoyi in Zhongfu, and selected 1,000 people from the people he brought to form archers; promoted LΓΌ Yong to the rank of lieutenant of Guoyi in Xiafu, selected 800 people from the people he brought, and trained the spearmen; There were nearly five hundred people left, all of whom he handed over to Gao Shun, and he was also promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Guoyi in Xiafu, and asked him to train sword and shield soldiers.
With Gao Yuan, will it be far away to trap the camp, although now due to the constraints of the conditions, it is impossible to see the legendary troops immediately, but first give everyone to Gao Yuan, and after having the conditions, Zhu Li did not believe that Gao Yuan did not make this request to himself.
Of course, Wu Mian and Guo Qizuo were very surprised by Zhu Li's decisive promotion of Gao Yuan, but the two of them didn't say anything, after all, Zhu Li was still young, and he had to be allowed to make mistakes, they thought to themselves, aren't there still the two of them, even if Zhu Li doesn't know anyone, it doesn't matter, they still have the ability to remedy it.
But they didn't know that Gao Yuan decided to be loyal to Zhu Li the first time he saw him, and it was precisely because of the relationship of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that Zhu Li was so decisive.
As for Pang Xun's old department, Zhu Li still handed it over to Pang Honggu to take care of, and named her the captain of Shangfu Guoyi, from the fifth grade.
Zhu Li personally led 1,200 Yue cavalry, and as for Wu Mian and Guo Qizuo, the two of them could take care of wherever they liked.
Zhu Li's official position to Wu Mourning is Shangzhou Sima, from the fifth grade, and the official position to Guo Qizuo is the captain of Shangfu Guoyi, which is also from the fifth grade.
All the distribution stopped, Beikou Town launched a vigorous large-scale construction and large-scale military training campaign, the number of commanders of the garrison ranged from 300 to 7,000, and Zhu Li now has less than 5,000 people under his command, so they are not overstepping.
I don't know if it's because of Wei Chijian's relationship, or if Li Keju is really optimistic about Zhu Li, when rebuilding Beikou Town, as long as Zhu Li opens his mouth, Li Keju will give whatever he wants.
Two months later, Beikou Town has been rebuilt, the small city made of bluestone of first-class water, it looks particularly stable, the town is garrisoned with 5,000 troops, and the Beidi people do not have 20,000 or 30,000 troops, so they don't want to come and brush the tiger's whiskers again.
The soldiers of all departments are almost trained, and Wu Mourning brings up the old matter again, suppressing bandits to strengthen the army, this is something that Wu Mourning and Guo Qizuo agree with, and Zhu Li has no reason not to agree.
As soon as Zhu Li gave the order, the Beikou New Army began to take action, and began to encircle and suppress the bandits in Danzhou, and the captured bandits were transformed into the New Army, and their families all moved to Beikou Town.
By the end of the sixth year of Qianfu, the garrison of Beikou Town had reached more than 10,000 people, and the number of ordinary people had also increased by tens of thousands.
This is all at the request of Guo Qizuo, he wants to implement the military tun in Beikou, although it is said to be a military tun, but these guards are not allowed to farm, so in the name of the military tun, in fact, the people in Beikou Town are still the people who carry out tuntian, and these more than 10,000 people are the reserve population for tuntian.
All the anti-bandit activities were carried out secretly, so unconsciously, the already deserted Beikou Town quietly regained its due strength in less than half a year, and it was a little too strong, and the garrison alone was overnumbered by three or four thousand people.
And it seems that God is also helping the development of Beikou Town, since August Zhu Li led people into Beikou Town, until the end of the year, the Hu people were like falling asleep, and they did not come to loot once, but gave them a rare opportunity for development.
After Li Quanzhong discovered the situation in Beikou Town, the time had come to the first year of Guangming (880), at this time, there was already a large army in Beikou that could only fight habitually, there were almost no battlefield fledglings, and all the soldiers had undergone the test of life and death.
The men who had never seen blood had been weeded out, and let them, lead some strong women, to prepare for the reclaim of the wasteland.
In February of the first year of Guangming, a sudden military order alarmed the northern land, and even the developing Beikou Town was no exception.
