The front of Hu's army galloped fifty miles and arrived at the foot of Dali City.

Its general is Guanwei General Bu Xuan, who looks at the defense of Dali City from a distance, and can't help but secretly complain.

Dali is the seat of Feng Yi's county, and it is located on the soil of the Weishui River Valley, and its scale is comparable to that of Xiayang, Haoyang and other small towns - of course, whether a city is difficult to capture cannot be seen only by its scale, but also by whether the fortifications of the city are strong, and the number of city guards and how brave they are.

However, what Bu Xuan saw in front of him was the Xiongcheng that Pei Gai had painstakingly managed in order to resist Liu Yao's return to the west, the city wall was high, the buildings were dense, the sheep and horse walls were strong and unbreakable, the moat was deep and difficult to cross, and the suspension bridge was pulled high...... Let's look at the flags on the city, densely arranged, at least in the face of the northern city, it seems that no less than 3,000 soldiers and horses are filled! If this is the case on all sides, and the number of soldiers in the city is around 10,000, it will not be able to attack it in the short term!

Bu Xuan couldn't help but secretly said: "In the past, I heard the words of Huyan Dangjin (Dangjin General Hu Yanshi), how Yun Dali Jincheng soup pool, firm, and still boasting about the enemy's strength to cover up his defeat, in today's view, his words are true......"

It's right to think about it again, thinking that Liu Yao's number of soldiers back then was similar to today's "Wang Shi", the quality of the soldiers may be far away, but it will not be too far apart, and Liu Yao's experience in using troops is much richer than Liu Cang's - at least the age is there - he has been unable to conquer Dali for a long time, and even finally lost, so the strength of this city can only be confirmed by witnessing it?

Today and in the past, the only difference may be that Pei Gai and Tao Kan are not in Dali City, and the number of defenders is less than when Liu Yao came to attack. But unless these flags in the city are false, and the guards are also cowards, it will be difficult to get down in one go. So is it cowardly to defend the general? At least Chen Anshang is still in the city!

Bu Xuanai did not dare to attack the city rashly, and urgently ordered to go down to the village in the north of the city, so as to wait for Liu Cang to arrive, and at the same time build a high oar in the village, planning that I would stand on a high place again and have a good look at the movement in the city, and then stop.

He is a general of Hu Han, and he has always been cautious, if he changes to a reckless person, such as Lu Songduo, maybe he will ignore it, and even if he orders the siege of the city. In fact, if the Hu army is in a hurry to attack Dali, maybe the city is really difficult to defend, because at this time there is chaos in Dali City, and the matter of who will defend the city is still undecided......

——————————

There are only more than 1,000 county soldiers in Dali City, and the quality of the Yunjun soldiers is naturally relatively low, not to mention the three armies of Da Sima, it is estimated that even the old auxiliary soldiers brought out by Pei Gai and Tao Kan may not be able to compare.

Before leaving, Zhen Sui ordered flags to be spread on all sides of the city, the original intention was only to paralyze the Hu army, pretending that the main force of our army had not yet left the city, so he was frightened. But in fact, although there are many flags, there are few soldiers, and most of them are shrunk behind the battlements and trembling - after all, the vanguard of the Hu army led by Bu Pump has reached as many as 3,000 horsemen, and the guards can see it from afar.

Chen An took a step early and returned to Dali, which was able to avoid Hu Qi's pursuit. As soon as he entered the city, he ordered the four gates to be closed, the drawbridge was pulled, and the soldiers were ordered to guard it, but they were blocked by the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the military of a county, originally quite powerful, only under the county guard - the Han Dynasty used to call the county guard a county general, and the name of the county lieutenant is a deputy general - Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was renamed Duwei, to the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor, then abolished this position, to guard the military and political affairs of a county as the president. The Jin Dynasty undertook the Han and Wei dynasties, and naturally there was no county captain, or after Pei should stay in Taiwan Guanzhong, considering the lack of talents under his command, some county guards still have to command the armies of Da Sima, and some county guards can only reserve personnel, which is really difficult to take on heavy responsibilities, so the county captains were restored in some counties.

For example, Feng Yi County, the county guard was originally Tao Kan Tao Kan's line, but Tao Kan had to be in charge of the entire Da Sima Hou Army, and it was impossible to live in Da Li for a long time, so the guard of Da Li had to be entrusted to another person to be responsible, so a county lieutenant was temporarily set up.

This county lieutenant is not Pei Caiyuan's subordinate, he is an old general of Ko Yun, because he is more familiar with the surrounding areas of Dali, he has to be promoted to a captain, although he leads thousands of county soldiers, in fact, he is more like the director of public security in Dali City, and he is only in charge of public security work on weekdays.

When Tao Kan was in Dali, the county lieutenant naturally relied on Tao Shixing's will, Zhen followed him to Dali, and he respectfully respected his orders, but now these two are all gone, just Chen An went out for a turn, and came back inexplicably, and it was impossible for the county lieutenant to easily hand over the city defense to Chen An.

Although Chen An has the title of General of Broken Captivity, this general is still empty for the time being, and there is no place in the three armies of Da Sima; Second, Chen An's leaders are all newly attached to the Qinzhou soldiers, how can the county lieutenant rest assured that the land of Yongzhou will be handed over to the Qinzhou people to defend? If you are from Xuzhou and Sizhou, you may be able to discuss, Qinzhou, it is the rebellion of Sima Bao!

The county lieutenant found Chen An and asked about the situation outside the city, although he was frightened, he still stubbornly demanded: "Since the last official is the captain of a county, the matter of guarding the city is unshirkable. ”

Chen An glared at him: "I'm fighting a hundred battles, isn't it as good as Qing?" Why should the secretary be responsible for the important task of guarding the city? ”

The county lieutenant argued: "The duty of the last official lies, but General Chen has no real responsibility, if the city is not defended, the crime lies with the last officer, General Chen does not have to share the responsibility - even so, it should be mainly the last official and Feng Yi's county soldiers." ”

Chen An sneered: "With your ability, can you keep Dali with these more than a thousand weak soldiers?" As soon as he was in a hurry, he directly changed his words, and instead of calling the other party "Qing", he used the word "you".

The county lieutenant said: "Although the last official is incompetent, since he bears this responsibility, he does not have the decree of Tao Fuzun or Da Sima, and he cannot give up the responsibility of guarding the city. And although the Yongzhou soldiers are weak, where the township is, they will be brave; The general's Qinzhou soldiers, are they willing to fight to defend my Yongzhou territory? ”

Chen An said angrily: "They are all subordinates of Da Sima Liutai, how can they be divided into Yongzhou and Qinzhou?!" ”

He hated that the county lieutenant looked down on him, but the other party was not angry that Chen An wanted to overstep his behalf, and the two quarreled. Qinzhou soldiers gathered one after another to support their own generals; Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yongzhou soldiers also drew their knives one after another and guarded the county lieutenant's side - seeing that the fire was unavoidable.

In fact, Chen An did have a heart for fire, as long as the county lieutenant was captured, the county soldiers who didn't believe in the weak chicken refused to obey their orders - if he was in Longshang in the past, it is estimated that he would have done it a long time ago. However, the situation is different now, three thousand Qinzhou soldiers are like rootless grass in Yongzhou, and Pei Da Sima's military law is stricter than Sima Bao, although Chen An is domineering and reckless, but he is under the low eaves, unless he is forced to be in a hurry, he really does not dare to act recklessly.

As soon as they quarreled like this, the command system in Dali City was completely chaotic, and some pawns ran down from the city, wanting to wait for the news that the Hu army had arrived, but saw that the two main generals were surrounded by soldiers from the inner and outer three floors in the center, and they couldn't squeeze in at all, so they were so anxious that they stomped their feet again and again. As soon as he shouted at the top of his voice, he was completely suppressed by the noisy voices outside, and no one could hear Chen An and Feng Yijun.

After a short time, another soldier rushed down from the city, wanting to find someone to report, saying that the Hu army had temporarily retreated and camped...... Seeing this, the little soldier was bold, so he simply ran to the school ground, lifted the drumstick, and beat a painting drum with a loud sound like shaking the earth. The drums beat together, and the two sides of the confrontation were instantly silenced, and Chen An asked: "What's the matter, but has the Hu army arrived?" ”

Only then did he get the exact report, and Chen An said: "The matter is urgent, if you don't go to the city to defend it, and the Hu army comes to attack, what should you do?" Thou hast delivered all the soldiers to me without delay! ”

However, the lieutenant still refused to let go.

The county lieutenant could neither trust Chen An nor the Qinzhou soldiers, and in his mind, he would definitely not be able to hold the city with only a thousand county soldiers-Chen An said, the Hu army is attacking on a large scale, and I am afraid that there are more than a few thousand--If he can command three thousand Qinzhou soldiers, he can still support it for several days, waiting for General Zhen to lead his troops back. If I get the full command and still can't hold Dali, that's the will of heaven, even if Da Sima blames, I have nothing to complain about. But if the defenders are taken away by you, Chen An, and you still can't hold the city after it's over, I also have the sin of losing my land, and I want a knife on the meal, and the injustice will be great.

All in all, Da Licheng and his own life are better guarded by himself, and he really doesn't feel at ease to hand it over to others.

The two generals were still arguing, and at this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "Mrs. Da Sima Xun has arrived, aren't you still welcome?!" ”

Although Xun Guanniang no longer interferes in the military, she is worried after all, and sends people to inquire about the outside world from time to time. When she heard that Chen An suddenly turned back, she couldn't help but be surprised, so she ordered Pei Fu to find Chen An to investigate.

Although she didn't know how Zhen Sui divided the troops, Zhen Sui went first, Chen An moved later, and the order was still understood. Now that Chen An has returned, but he has not seen Zhen Sui, what is the reason? Could it be that Zhen Sui was defeated? Or is it that the Qinzhou guy is cowardly and takes the initiative to turn back? Even, what kind of dissenting heart did the Qinzhou soldiers have?!

Pei Fu ran to find Chen An, but he couldn't squeeze into the crowd of confrontations, and then heard that Hu Jun had arrived in the city, and couldn't help but be scared to the bottom of the city. Xun Guanniang scolded him and said: "If Dali is lost, Chang'an may not be able to protect it, where can we flee to?" Now the only way to find Chen An urgently is to inquire about the bottom line. She knew that Pei Fu's courage and ability were limited, and it was only because he was a servant of the Pei family for generations, and he was entrusted with the responsibility of being a housekeeper when he saw Pei should grow up, and Xun Guanniang was usually polite to him. If you rely on Pei Fu, you can't understand this matter, and the rest of the slaves under him are afraid that the quality is not as good as Chen An, including the family he brought from the Xun family, there is no way, so he has to end up in person.

So under the protection of the servants, he rode a horse to find Chen An. When the soldiers heard that the lady was coming, they didn't dare to stop it, so they made way for a passage, and Chen An and the county lieutenant also greeted each other. Xun Guanniang came to the front, turned over and dismounted, and asked Chen An: "What is the reason for hearing that the Hu army is covering up outside the city?" ”

Chen An briefly introduced the situation and said: "The last general parted ways with General Zhen and met the Hu army in person. General Zhen said, if I meet Hu, the enemy will be the enemy, and if I can't be defeated, I will retreat to Dali, so I will turn back halfway. Let's look at Hu Jun's behavior, he is also coming to Dali......"

Xun Guanniang asked: "In this case, why don't you go to the city to protect it, but want to stay here?" ”

Chen An smiled bitterly: "The military orders are different, how to defend the city?" The last general asked the county lieutenant to give him full responsibility for defending the city, but he refused to ......"

The county lieutenant was willing to let Chen An's wicked person sue first, and hurriedly interjected: "The last official is responsible for guarding the city, and he has no excuse, but he asked General Chen to lead the Qinzhou soldiers to listen to the command of the last official, but General Chen not only refused, but instead incited the Qinzhou soldiers, which seems to be counterproductive!" ”

When Xun Guanniang heard this, she was slightly surprised. Chen An hurriedly defended: "How dare the last general rebel? Since he is from the governor, he should be repaid by himself, and this heart can be seen every day! However, there are many county soldiers who can't fight, and the county lieutenant is not a general, and his wife thinks about it, only An and Qinzhou soldiers can protect the safety of Dali. ”

Xun Guanniang's seven tricks are exquisite, she can hear the words of the two, and she knows the end - isn't it just fighting for command. Emotionally speaking, she is still inclined to the county lieutenant, not long after Chen Anchu's surrender, the Qinzhou soldiers have not been officially included in the system of the three armies of the Great Sima, how can they be trusted? But reason told her that the county lieutenant was easy to suppress, and Chen An was inconvenient to scold, and if the really combat-effective Qinzhou soldiers changed their commanders, it was really worrying whether they could exert thirty percent of their power......

Therefore, he immediately reprimanded: "At the moment of the great enemy, the Qing and others should fight together, how can they fight each other and mess with themselves? Then he asked the county lieutenant: "What kind of product is Qing?" ”

When the county lieutenant heard this, he was slightly stunned - this question is really difficult to answer.

It was only during the Wei and Jin dynasties that it evolved from the rank system to the official product system, and the system was not yet complete. The so-called official products, which were originally transformed from the Nine Grades Zhongzheng, are to mark the different grades of scholars, from which officials can enter the ranks, and how high the official position can be achieved in the end. For example, only Pei Gai and the like, Zhongzheng is rated as the upper middle - the upper is never set, and the upper middle is the apex - in order to start from the five-grade official until he is promoted to the first-rank member. If it is a low-grade poor family, the first entry can only be a low-grade subordinate, and finally rise to the top of the five or six grades.

Of course, in today's troubled times, many rules - in fact, they can't be regarded as rules, but conventions - have been broken, and in the original history, it was necessary to wait for the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty before this set was re-fermented in the Jiangnan region.

However, the level of the official position is still subject to the rank and position system of the Han Dynasty, and the number of salaries you can receive shows which level your official position is. Chen An's official character is a five-grade miscellaneous general, and his rank is just a thousand stones, which is at the same level as the order of the big county. If the county lieutenant follows the Han system, his Lu is second only to the county guard - the county guard is 2,000 stones, and the county lieutenant is more than 2,000 stone - it is really higher than Chen An, and if you talk about official quality...... It was originally set up by Pei Cai, and there was no fixed product at all.

Therefore, it was difficult for the county lieutenant to answer, so Xun Guanniang said: "General Chen has five grades, but Qing has no grades, how can he not obey General Chen's orders?" "Although the rank of Lu is really determined by the size and level of the official position, but under the influence of the nine products of the Zhongzheng, in fact, people pay more attention to the official character in these years - the official character comes from the character, and the character is greatly affected by the door - for example, Shang Shuling is the central minister, the official product is the third, only under the princes, its rank Lu continued the Han Dynasty, only a thousand stones, but even if the two thousand stone guard, the middle two thousand stone Qing, who dares to command in front of Shang Shuling?

Therefore, Xun Guanniang directly used official products to suppress the county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant was dumbfounded and speechless......
