Li Wenyuan put down the letter in his hand and asked Zhang Juntai: "Juntai, how much truth do you think is stated in this letter?" ”

Zhang Juntai shook his head and said, "Most of what the bandits say is not credible. Although they all carry the banner of righteous bandits who do the right thing for heaven, there are as many bandits as there are carps crossing the river, and there are few righteous bandits. ”

Li Wenyuan frowned and said, "Zong Luohu, have you ever heard of this person?" ”

Zhang Juntai shook his head: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains has rarely heard of Heyou, and I have never heard of this person. ”

Li Wenyuan nodded, motioned for Zhang Juntai to get busy, and sat in the tent frowning and thinking about some things. Originally, as a graduate student in history, what he believed in was excavations and historical records, but since he crossed over, many people have been different from historical records.

In the Book of Sui, which Wei Zheng presided over in the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded that Yang Guang "was promiscuous, the laws and regulations were nourishing, the four dimensions were absolute, the punishment was five abuses, the flesh and bones were hoeed, and the loyal and good were slaughtered. The angry soldiers have moved repeatedly, and the work of civil engineering has not stopped. Frequent out of Shuofang, three Liaozuo, thousands of miles of flags, hundreds of taxes, cunning officials invade fishing, people are unbearable. ”

A Sui book not only completely set Yang Guang's nickname as Yang, but also belittled Yang Guang by three points for everything he did, without mentioning the supply of rice and grain to the Guannai by the Grand Canal, and not mentioning the surrounding barbarians who fought more than a dozen foreign wars, even when the Central Plains Dynasty was in decline, they were unable to invade the south. This gave the Tang Dynasty time to recuperate with the people, and only then did it have the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The characters recorded in the history books are no longer reliable, and he is determined to do something to change this era, but the golden finger that has been known for 500 years as a traveler no longer shines, and he can't feel the pulse of the times, Li Wenyuan can only rely on himself.

When Li Wenyuan was helpless, his eyes inadvertently swept over the weapons and armor in the tent, the strong bow and iron arrows, and his heart was a lot more stable, and he knew that it was time to fight. When I don't know what to do, I simply fight hard and take this opportunity to completely get rid of the burden that comes from crossing.

Li Wenyuan figured out this matter, so he no longer had a headache, blew out the lights and candles again, and slept in his clothes.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Wenyuan was woken up by a noisy sound when the rooster crowed. Holding his sleepy eyes, he opened the camp gate and looked out, but it was a group of soldiers who were practicing.

Zhang Juntai walked over from the side, handed Li Wenyuan a wet towel, and said, "They are all drilled according to the general's description, and the general has never lived in the barracks, so he is not used to it." ”

Li Wenyuan took the towel and wiped his face, felt a little more energetic, and said with a smile: "It's a shame to say that I have been falsely hanging the name of a general, but I have not been in the army for a long time. ”

Zhang Juntai said: "The general is now in charge of the eight states of the Western Regions, and his official duties are naturally heavier than military affairs. What time is the county history today? ”

"I'm not going to go today, I'll go to Zong Luohu who passed the book last night for a while." Li Wenyuan said.

"It's okay, when will the general go on the expedition, so I can arrange for the soldiers to prepare early." Zhang Juntai nodded and said.

"No, I'll also go to the meeting with a single knife." Li Wenyuan said that he went back to the tent directly.

Zhang Juntai hurriedly chased into the tent and said, "Is the general a little reckless like this?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Juntai is flustered, he gambled on his future with Li Wenyuan, and the relationship between one glory and one loss is lost.

Li Wenyuan saw Zhang Juntai chasing into the tent, and couldn't help laughing: "Juntai, it's really rare for you to be so flustered." ”

Zhang Juntai knew that he was a little out of shape, and his face turned red at the moment and said: "The general is the head of the Western Regions, so he has to be cautious." ”

"It's not in the way, since everyone has come to deliver the letter, then I can't be scared, after all, we will have to mix in the Western Regions in the future, right?" Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

"In this way, Juntai, you first go to the county to check the county records, and then secretly send someone to visit the people who have entered the city to avoid bandits to check whether the things described in Zong Luohu's letter are true." Li Wenyuan said to Zhang Juntai while wearing armor with the help of Zhang Juntai.

Zhang Juntai saw that Li Wenyuan could not be persuaded to do so, so he nodded yes.

Li Wenyuan put on the armor, just in time for the soldiers to have breakfast after the morning exercise, some soldiers saw that Li Wenyuan was wearing neat armor, so they were curious: "General, who is this going to fight with?" Is there any bandit around here? ”

Li Wenyuan took the breakfast in his hand and said with a smile, "What's the matter?" Are you looking forward to war so much? Fighting a war kills people. ”

The little soldier said: "How can there be immortals in war, the general's military law clearly says, those who die in glorious battles can have no worries about food and clothing, and how can there be people in the army who are afraid of war, all looking forward to fighting and earning war merits." ”

Li Wenyuan looked at the little soldier as if he had something else to say, so he kicked lightly and said, "You kid is talking to me, why are you a soldier?" Eating salaries, getting promoted and getting rich, what is there to be embarrassed about in human nature. ”

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "The general's method of training soldiers was not taken by many brothers at first, but I heard that the government provides for the families of the war dead, and at the same time, no one dares to deduct the monthly salary. ”

Li Wenyuan smiled, he knew about this. At the beginning of the training, no one cared about military law, and some soldiers had to make a fuss about soldiers' salaries. As a result, he was caught by the black-clothed gendarmes arranged by Li Wenyuan, and he was dragged outside the barracks and beheaded. Later, news also came that the family had all been turned into slaves, but they were just doing some light work in the government.

This is Li Wenyuan's arrangement, without these men, orphans and widows will not be able to survive in the troubled times, it is better to enter the official register, and still have something to eat. The soldiers under him did not know the details, but they only knew that Li Wenyuan had reduced the punishment of the military law and left a way for people to live, and then they admired Li Wenyuan even more.

"It's good that you don't be afraid of war, when the time comes, there will be a place where you can get military merits, as long as you don't violate the laws and regulations of the country, you must at least be a thousand-commander." Li Wenyuan patted Xiaobing's shoulder and said with a smile.

Li Wenyuan finished breakfast, rode out of the camp, and went straight to Qinglong Mountain. Yongdeng County is located in a rare large plain in the mountains and rivers of Longyou, just suitable for running horses, it did not take long to reach the foot of Qinglong Mountain, far away to see the flag of the sect on the mountain gate.

Li Wenyuan galloped on horseback, swept away the irritability of yesterday's march, and was very happy in his heart, ran to the mountain gate to draw his bow and arrows, shot his iron arrow to the flagpole, shot down the Zongzi flag, and shouted: "The thieves on the mountain have listened, I am Li Wenyuan, the governor of the Western Regions, let Zong Luohu come out to see me, otherwise I will personally lead the army to level this small hiding place." ”

The soldiers in the cottage did not dare to hide it, and the small leader on duty ordered someone to take down the iron arrow and send it to Zong Luohu, while his side closed the mountain gate and waited for the big boss to come and deal with it.
