Chapter Seventy-Nine: In Linying

Chapter Seventy-Nine: In Linying

Before he arrived at Linying City, someone came from afar to greet him, but it was Wu Zilan in front, and a person dressed as a civil official followed behind, and when he saw Zhang Xuan, he immediately knelt under the horse and said, "Xiaguan and others will meet Zhang Guoyi." ”

"Hurry up, please." Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, and helped Wu Zilan up.

First, Zhang Xuan has never been used to it, others will kowtow to him, so whenever someone kowtows to him. He will surely be lifted up. Second, Zhang Xuan at this moment remembered the trap he gave Wu Zilan when he was leaving, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart, feeling that he had some small belly chicken intestines. After Zhang Xuan made a few circles between life and death, his mind also broadened.

said to Wu Zilan: "How is it?" Is anyone hard for you? ”

Wu Zilan said: "There are adults as backers, who dares to embarrass me, and now who doesn't know that adults are the famous Zhang Tiebi." When the Dao array was arrayed, the formation was as strong as iron, and even the Qin army could not break it. ”

"Zhang Tiebi." Zhang Xuan secretly complained that this nickname was not good, but when he thought about it, he didn't call him any nicknames such as a tiger, nine dragons, a gust of wind, etc., which was already good.

Zhang Xuan and Wu Zilan entered Linying City hand in hand while talking.

At this moment, in the midst of the troubled times, the Chuang Camp regime has an obvious emphasis on military force and light on literature, and Liang Qilong has become Li Xin's confidant, and he has been promoted to Henan Jiedu Envoy. The new county order didn't have a sense of existence in front of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan only remembered that his surname was Lei. I don't remember the rest.

As soon as Zhang Xuan entered Linying City, he was welcomed by the people in the city.

I have to say that the people of Linying regard Zhang Xuan as their own.

It was also Zhang Xuan himself who said that he was the same as the Zhang family in Linying, and later moved to Zhengzhou. In ancient times, this was a real Linying person. Moreover, Zhang Xuan was in Linying for a period of time, and he did not commit any crimes in autumn, and he was desperately looking for food for the people.

The people also remembered him well, and there were many Linying soldiers in the battalion. The people of Linying welcomed Zhang Xuan even more.

Wu Zilan held a banquet in the county government, and the people of Linying came to accompany the banquet, and Zhang Xuan also took officers at all levels to sit down. Because there was wine, but after three or five glasses, these officers seemed to forget that Zhang Xuan was present and made a loud noise.

Zhang Xuan ate a fish in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to stay here anymore.

After Zhang Xuan left the county hall, he walked on the familiar road, and for a while his heart appeared Lian Pian, and suddenly saw the Lei County Order, and waved his hand to let him come over.

Lei Xian Ling immediately came over and saluted, "Meet General Zhang." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "No need to be polite, why did you come out." ”

Lei Xian Ling said with a smile: "The generals in the hall don't like me. I had no choice but to quit. ”

Zhang Xuan thought about it slightly and understood, he

Those officers, such as Luo Dai and others, thought of the contempt for civil officials, and felt that it was just an account room, and Lei County Ling was Cao Ying's people, so of course they were not welcomed. However, Zhang Xuan didn't care much about this.

After all, Zhang Xuan didn't mean to stay here for a long time, even if Zhang Xuan was willing. Luo Rucai wouldn't let him stay. He had no intention of meddling in local affairs and asked, "How is Linying doing?" ”

Lei County Ling immediately cheered up and said: "After General Lai, Linying County is the first county in Henan Province of the Righteous Army. ”

"Oh." Zhang Xuan became interested and said, "Really? ”

Lei County Commander immediately told Zhang Xuan about Linying's affairs.

For example, because Linying County did not delay spring ploughing, and under Zhang Xuan's intentional supervision, Linying Spring Wheat and Summer Wheat were harvested, and a lot of food was supplied to the camp. Although he is the envoy of Henan Jiedu, he has jurisdiction over only half of Kaifeng Mansion. The place of governance is in Xuzhou. But he is already one of the more outstanding civil officials in the camp.

Zhang Xuan was very happy when he heard this.

Anyway, what he did made more people survive, even if he didn't benefit, Zhang Xuan was very happy and asked, "How are the villages outside the city?" ”

Zhang Xuan still remembers that when he was in Linying, he only managed a few miles outside Linying City and Linying City, and the rest of the villages didn't pay much attention to Zhang Xuan at all.

Lei County Ling said: "Lord Lai's plan has been solved. ”

"Oh." Zhang Xuan said a little strangely: "What did I have an idea?" Let's hear it. ”

Lei County Ling said: "Didn't the adults say that there is an inside the city and a security outside the city?" After the lower officials consulted with Wu Shoubei, they consulted with each village and appointed their village owners as the chief of the village, and collected spring and autumn taxes for the government. After the battle of Persimmon Garden, these village owners were all gone, and a few days ago, they reported the autumn tax. Isn't it all thanks to the plan? ”

Zhang Xuan has never seen such a sycophant.

The inside of the city is inside, and the outside of the city is protected. Where is Zhang Xuan's proposal, but all counties in Henan, almost all of them are like this, this Lei County Commander wants to send the credit to Zhang Xuan's head. made Zhang Xuan smile a little bitterly. Zhang Xuan was embarrassed to accept it, but he broke it directly, and there was another point that made this Lei County Commander a little too embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic, and also said a doubt that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and said: "The Battle of Persimmon Garden? But some time ago, King Chuang and Sun Chuanting fought in the east of Jiaxian? But why is it called Persimmon Garden? ”

This is something that Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out after thinking about it for a long time.

The first one didn't understand, it was that he remembered that the Battle of Persimmon Garden was a big defeat for Sun Chuanting, but where did he think that the battle would be so thrilling, he vaguely understood this, probably for a long time, these battles are just a result, no matter what

How thrilling, just say that Sun Chuanting was defeated.

The second one I don't understand, that is, why is it called the Battle of Persimmon Garden?

The local persimmon garden has never been called. From the place where Li Zicheng attacked Niu Chenghu, it was called the martial arts field. It is also known as Ji's Terrace. And Sun Chuanting's ambush of Li Zicheng's place is not called Persimmon Garden, and the place where Zhang Xuan blocked the official army in the end is not called Persimmon Garden, it seems to be called Tomb Head. It's not called a persimmon garden.

Where did the saying of the Battle of Persimmon Garden come from.

Lei Xianling said: "No wonder adults don't know, this statement has just come out." It seems that the mound is not good, I heard that after the defeat of the official army, the grain and grass did not continue, and the green persimmons were picked to satisfy hunger, so it was called the battle of persimmon garden. ”

"Inexplicable." Zhang Xuan muttered in a low voice.

It's really incomprehensible, Zhang Xuan still doesn't quite understand, why is it called the Battle of Persimmon Garden, I don't think the mound is good, it's called the Battle of Jiaxian, it's okay, anyway, it's all fought in Jiaxian.

However, Zhang Xuan didn't think much about it, because it was no longer important to Zhang Xuan.

"Since this year's harvest is good. Will we be able to keep the city from starving to death this winter? Zhang Xuan said.

Lei Xianling's face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "No." ”

Zhang Xuan's footsteps suddenly listened, and said, "Why? ”

Lei County Ling gritted his teeth and said, "General Mingjian, the county has a good harvest." But there's a lot to be asked for. In order to support the army to fight, the granaries in the county have gone to seven or eight out of ten, and the remaining grain is simply not enough for the people in the city to survive this winter, and I am already thinking of a way. But Xiaguan really can't guarantee that no one will starve to death. ”

The ease and joy in Zhang Xuan's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The action of the army consumes thousands of gold per day, and the amount of grain and grass consumed is an astronomical amount. I'm afraid this situation is not a special case. Although Zhang Xuan knew that this matter was no wonder for this Lei County Commander, he couldn't help but be angry and said, "What can you do?" ”

With a "plop", Lei Xian Ling knelt on the ground and said: "Xia Guan has ordered everyone to dig wild vegetables in the field, and the fish in the river are very large, Xia Guan must do everything possible to prevent people from starving to death in the county." ”

Zhang Xuan rolled several times on the battlefield, he didn't feel it, in fact, he already had a kind of prestige. Therefore, with an angry shout, this thunder county order was frightened.

"You go and get on the errands." Zhang Xuan restrained his temper and waved his hand to let Lei Xian order to leave. Lei County ordered a general amnesty and left immediately.

Zhang Xuan sighed at this time, smashed his fist on the earthen wall, gritted his teeth and said, "This dog's world." ”

As soon as he thought that the others were also part of this dog's world, Zhang Xuan felt a deep sense of guilt.

At this moment, there is probably not a single grain without blood in Henan.
