Chapter 385: Troop Transfer

Taiyuan Mansion belongs to Hedong Road, this was not the Taiyuan City of the year, the northern capital of the Li Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of the Northern Han Dynasty, became a strong fortress to resist the Zhao Song Dynasty, Taizong Emperor Zhao Guangyi captured Taiyuan, his heart was angry at the solidity of Taiyuan, almost made him lose face, and heard that Taiyuan had a royal spirit, burned the old city at the moment, and built a new city not far from the old city.

However, the newly built Taiyuan City is certainly the capital of Hedong Road, but Taiyuan City is very small and cannot be compared with his identity at all. But in this place, the official configuration is still very complete, the prefect, the general judgment and so on are in the list, in the north fifty miles is Yangqu, this place is the Hedong Road transfer envoy king-like territory, it can be said that Zhang Xiaochun is in Taiyuan as the prefect, but not far away, there is a king who seems to be staring at the side.

In the prefect's yamen, Zhang Xiaochun summoned Fan Qingxing, Ma Guocheng, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and others, he raised the letter in his hand and said: "The new general of Zhengbei sent someone to send a letter, to gather Taiyuan to send 20,000 troops, send Wenshui, and prepare to attack Fenyang Mansion, what do you two think?" After Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, he stared at Ma Guocheng.

Ma Guocheng's fat face was gloomy, and his dead fish-like eyes showed a trace of disdain, and said: "This is my Taiyuan soldiers and horses, can he still manage the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion as a temporary general of the expedition to the north?" ”

"This, really speaking, can really be managed, not only our side, but even the defense envoy side can also be within his control, anyway, he is going to attack Fenyang Mansion Tianhu, and all soldiers and horses are under his control." It was Fan Qingxing who spoke, and he was looking at Ma Guocheng with disdain, in the end, he was a civil official, and he looked down on these generals the most.

"Lord Zhang, last year's army conscripted Tian Hu, lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and now the general wants us to send 20,000 troops, where is there 20,000 troops in this Taiyuan Mansion?" Ma Guocheng shook his head and said.

Fan Qingxing listened to the disdain in his heart even stronger, last year Zhang Xiaochun asked Ma Guocheng to send troops to recruit Tian Hu, but this guy didn't even see the rebels, so he fled back to Taiyuan Mansion, what's even more odious is that this guy doesn't take things seriously, but he colluded with Wei Cheng and Yanmen Pass guards to make Jiao Liang embarrassed, and transported salt, steel and other prohibited items from the Central Plains to Liao to earn a lot of money. It's just that these things are very involved, and even the transfer envoy Wang doesn't seem to speak, so his little general judgment naturally won't interfere in it.

It's just that Li Jing used a military order and asked Ma Guocheng to lead an army of 30,000 to Wenshui, obviously to share the pressure on the front line. Ma Guocheng is dead or alive, he naturally doesn't care, but the matter of conquest of Tian Hu is very important, Hedong Road is generally in the hands of Tian Hu, if Tian Hu is not solved as soon as possible, Hedong Road will exist in name only, and the tax will not be collected at all. At this time, even if you don't want to send troops, it's impossible.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Taiyuan Mansion? Solving Tianhu as soon as possible can also make my Hedong Road settle down from now on, although Xu Zhengbei ordered the army to go to Wenshui, but he thought that it was just to suppress Fenyang Mansion, and he might not necessarily fight. Zhang Xiaochun sighed slightly, he felt tired for a while, there are 30,000 troops in Taiyuan Mansion, but is it really 30,000? It's already good to have 10,000, and the slack of armaments may be able to summarize the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion.

"This?" After Ma Guocheng heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his fat face, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, you also know that because of the suppression of bandits, the army is now only 13,000 people. ”

"You?" After Zhang Xiaochun listened, he couldn't help but smash the shocking wood in his hand hard, almost smashing a hole in Ma Guocheng's head, Rao is so, he still couldn't help but roar loudly: "According to the establishment, my Taiyuan Mansion must have 30,000 troops, so even if 20,000 troops are dispatched, there will be 10,000 troops stationed, tell you Ma Guocheng, General Li Jing holds the royal flag, in charge of the conquest of Tianhu, if you find that we have not gathered 20,000 troops, even if you want your head, you have no way." ”

"This, how is this good?" After hearing this, Ma Guocheng couldn't help but fall to his knees and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, do you want to save me?" Fan Tongju, what should this be done now? Ma Guocheng was an unspeakable grievance, originally he just wanted to make money with peace of mind, but he didn't expect things to come so quickly, Li Jing actually wanted to send 20,000 troops by himself.

"The official doesn't care, three days, the official will just give you three days, 20,000 troops gathered, and the official went to Wenshui, tell you, don't be lucky, the general said, he will send someone to check when the time comes, my 20,000 troops pressed Fenyang Mansion, just to create pressure on Tian Hu, let him withdraw his troops in Shexian County, so that the general can deal with Zhang Di in Zhaozhou, the stakes are very important, if you can't get 20,000 troops, I'm afraid even the transfer envoy will not be able to help you." After Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Guocheng coldly, turned around and entered the back hall, there were only two people in the lobby, Fan Qingxing and Ma Guocheng.

"Fan Tongju, you are resourceful, you have to help me this time!" Ma Guocheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it into Fan Qingxing's hand, this is a hundred hectares of fertile land by the Fen River in the east of the city, for a plan, Ma Guocheng did not hesitate to take out this piece of fertile land.

Fan Qingxing secretly opened it and took a look, and immediately showed a look of satisfaction, and said in a low voice at the moment: "Taiyuan doesn't have it, but Yangqu does!" If there is no Yangqu, there is also Yanmen Pass! "Yangqu is one of the Hedong Road Governors, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses on Hedong Road, of course, no one knows how many soldiers and horses there are.

Ma Guocheng's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but say: "If this is the transfer of soldiers and horses from two places?" ”

"At this time, where is there any enemy to attack, the Liao State does not have many soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, how can it attack Yanmen Pass, Yanmen Pass is a man, and it is useless to open it, even if there are more troops in Liao, it is useless, as for Yangqu, hehe, there is only one rebel army in Tianhu in Bingzhou, and it is nothing to transfer Yangqu soldiers and horses in a short time." After Fan Qingxing got the fertile land, he also happily gave Ma Guocheng guidance.

"Thank you Master Fan for your advice, I'll go to Yangqu and send 10,000 troops." Ma Guocheng couldn't help but scolded: "This Li Jing is also true, he actually thought of transferring soldiers and horses from Taiyuan, what is the matter, if Tian Hu is really exterminated, is there any credit to us?" ”

"Let's get past this level!" Fan Qingxing couldn't help but say: "Li Jing is mainly in command of the battle, as long as the official family has the result, you only need to send troops and horses, and if this matter is solved, you can think about other things!" If the people sent by Li Jing find out the empty salary, you don't have to say that it is a credit, I am afraid that your head will fall off. ”

Ma Guocheng trembled, and finally could only scold and leave the mansion. (To be continued.) )
