It seems that Mao Jue's power is quite large, with two counties and five or six thousand soldiers and horses under his command, but if it is placed in the warlord melee period, he can be regarded as a local warlord at most, although he is the most capable local warlord.

Not to mention the eight provinces of North Korea, he didn't even get a third of the North Ping'an Province, sandwiched between the three behemoths of Li Chao, Houjin, and Daming, Tieyi is as small as a sesame seed, and he can't afford to provoke any of them.

Then I have to pick up the soft and pinch and play a little out of the way.

Next to Yizhou is Li Chaoshuozhou, which is not a peaceful territory, but also on the verge of the front line of the Yalu River, the last time Ding Mao was in chaos, it was also broken by Amin by the way, but the city was destroyed, he retreated to Yizhou, first, it is mountainous here, the land is not fertile, and secondly, Houjin is also sparsely populated, occupying a large area of fertile land in Liaodong, no one wants to come to this poor place where birds don't, Houjin officially gave up Shuozhou.

Later, the Li Dynasty did not have the national strength to repair Shuozhou, so it had to be left deserted and thrown there, and hundreds of unlucky soldiers brought some prisoners who were assigned here to maintain the ruling form of the Li Dynasty.

The rugged nature of the mountains here also provides a paradise for bandits to settle down.

However, in June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Shuozhou City, where birds don't, is a lot more lively.

The city wall has already collapsed into a mound of earth on all sides under the eighty small hammers and forty times in Houjin University, this Li Dynasty people are not fooling around in the war, and it is only less than two meters on the mound, even if it is repaired, it is said to be a state, but the dilapidated wooden board house inside is similar to a big town, before Mao Jue felt that the Ming army was rotten, he did not come here More than 1,200 Taoist soldiers did not even have a weapon, lazily cultivating the hundreds of land outside the city.

Having said that, the geographical location here is really good enough, the southwest is the Banmu Ridge, the northwest is the Yalu River tributary Sanqi River, the end of the Sanqi River, the small defense wall ridge is cut off again, and behind it is one of the eight views of North Korea, Miaoxiang Mountain, the whole terrain is like a pocket array, Shuozhou is located in this pocket mouth, guarding Shuozhou, and the hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers valley behind it become a closed kingdom.

However, there is still a hole in this pocket, there is an ancient valley road next to the middle section of Yiju in the Banmu Ridge, the last time Houjin broke through Shuozhou and retreated, it was this ancient road, there used to be a Banmu Pass here, but unfortunately it was abandoned more than a hundred years ago.

This can be regarded as a gate of Ping'an North Road, North Choke Shuozhou, South Choke Yizhou, the Houjin attack on the peninsula The nearest road was stuck, and the strong attack could not be entered, even if Huang Taiji could only take the Hamgyong Road further north, if the battlefield was there, Mao Jue would be happy to die, the terrain was rugged like a labyrinth, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had no room for use at all, not to mention him, Li Chao could also play them to death if he changed a better commander.

But such an important city, Li Chao was guarded by such a group of weak soldiers, following the team, looking left and right, a boy dressed as a scholar wrapped in a green scarf shook his head.

Don't say it, the soldiers are not good, the voice is not small, from the Banmuling Ancient Road in, walked more than ten miles a defender did not meet, to the gate of the city was taken aback, the green scarf scholar immediately changed color, frightened that the former leader of the Li family of the North Korean old man hurriedly jumped off the back of the cow, and kept waving his hand to the dozens of old and young masters in the team.

"Don't be impulsive, I'll go! I'm going to negotiate with them!"

A firearm was quietly carried back to his waist by the scholar with a green scarf, but his hand was still on the handle.

"What for? What kind of place is this, no, you untouchables? Come on, take it all!"

The door stopped, a big-shouldered waist and a sturdy Goryeo soldier led three or five subordinates like Erchuzi swaggered out of the Shuozhou Gate Cave that did not even break the city gate, this sentence was not finished, and a few long forks had been brushed over, so frightened that the old man Li Chao, who was in the lead, almost softened his feet, and hurriedly waved his hands.

"Master Jun, misunderstanding! Borrow ten small dares, and the small ones don't dare to get through the hu! Besides, what is the little one going to do in the west? The Hu people all eat human flesh and tear down human bones to burn the fire, and the small old bones want to toss for two more years! ”

The old man was amused by the Goryeo language, but he waved his hand to take the fork back, and then he hugged his arms again and asked with a big grin.

"Then what are you doing here in your line of thirty or forty?"

But to get to the point, the old man rummaged through the dirty blanket behind him, and finally pulled out the crumpled official document and handed it to the Korean officer with both hands.

"Return, back to the military master, the small ones are refugees from Huanghaidao, this is not a mess, the small village was burned, when I fled back, the household registration has been cancelled, and the land is also occupied by the Wenchuan Pu family, the official master gave us a note, let our village flee to the north, and when we encounter wasteland, we will take root and settle down on the spot."

"No, the little ones go to Yizhou, Yizhou is the territory of the Celestial Empire, if you don't accept us, you can only go to Banmu Ridge to try your luck!"

Don't say it, what this old man said is reasonable, even the official document is true, this thing was brought by Mao Jue from Xiongjin in Huanghai Province, Li Chao was unable to help the victims, so he simply beat people to him, I don't know how many white strips have been approved, and it will come in handy here.

The officer looked at Guan Wen, and then at a group of men carrying hoes and farm tools, and couldn't help but make trouble for a while, and after pondering for a while, this guy slapped his head: "Wait here!" Lao Tzu went to inform the defense envoy! Be honest with Lao Tzu! ”

Saying that, twisting the fat buttocks, the dwarf seemed to have to turn into the city, not to mention breaking the city without fighting, this five-grade defense made the pace slow enough, so that the group waited for more than ten minutes, one was wearing a black sand official robe, wearing a gauze hat, and a slender face like an old dried radish, and the middle-aged Goryeo official in his forties staggered out.

"Oh, meet your lordship!"

The old man was polite enough, and knelt down directly from the distance, and groped in his sleeve for a long time with trembling hands, and actually found a tael of broken silver.

"This is the filial piety of the whole village to their parents, begging the adults to laugh!"

Hey, it really makes the silver bright, seeing the color of this precious metal, this little official's steps forward are much faster, but he didn't use his hands to pick it up, he kicked the silver off, and then stepped on the bottom of his official robe.

"What about your situation, the official has also considered it, but the official is very difficult! The land registered in Shuozhou has already been distributed, and there is really no place for you to wait!"

"Ahh Ask for grace and forbearance! There are more than 120 people in our village, and those who starve to death when they come here, and those who flee are scattered, there are only these thirty or forty left, and then we are a dead end, please be gracious! ”

The old man suddenly urged his chest, his head was not like his own head, slamming on the ground, his wailing was pitiful, and the radish face defender pinched his beard and hissed, and after a while, he pretended to be in charge, and then reluctantly agreed to nod like that.

"Okay, whoever makes this official kind-hearted, this official has a wasteland between Xiaofangqiang Ridge and Banmu Ridge, you can go there and open up the wasteland!"

"What? If we open up the wasteland and don't settle the household registration, won't we become tenants and untouchables? My lord, we are good citizens! ”

"What, don't want to?"

The voice suddenly rose high, and the face of Rada was like someone who owed him 100,000 taels of silver, and the radish face was extremely gloomy, and the two eyes were so panicked that the old man hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.

"Nope! If you are willing, you will give me a way to live!"

"That scholar! Come here yet! The defense makes Lord Liu willing to rent the land to us, why don't you set up a document quickly!"

Listening to the old man's hurried words, the scholar of the green scarf hurriedly walked two steps, listened to the old man muttering, and wrote in a hurry, and after a while, an ink-drenched signed document was handed over by the scholar with both hands, looking at a large number of words, but the eyes of the radish face couldn't help but straighten.

It's a bunch of Chinese!

Indeed, the Korean language has been promoted for hundreds of years, but Chinese is still the common language of scholars and Confucian scholars, and it is legally valid in the Li Dynasty, but since he can go to this place where birds don't as a defense envoy, he may let Hou Jin dry up at any time.

Just as he hesitated, the old man hurriedly bowed again: "Master, our village is full of rough men, and if you don't set up an official document, you are afraid that you won't be able to control them!" You see......"

"Can't understand?"

The last words of the scholar of the green scarf became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and Liu Fang shouted with a red face.

"Who said that! Pu Zong, go and bring the official seal of Master Ben!"

In less than three minutes, the brass official seal was brought by him, and the red Shuozhou Mansion seal was firmly stamped on the newly written contract.

also signed it with a brush, and the face of the scholar suddenly showed a smile that made him regret, hurriedly packed up the contract, and retreated, and the old man next to him was still kneeling and bowing tremblingly.

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"

"Sir! Behind our village, there are still a few villages who fled from Huanghaidao, I wonder if the master can take them in? ”

Suddenly a little upset, surnamed Liu impatiently waved his sleeves: "It's all done according to you!" Stand down, stand down!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, sir!"

Thanks to Dade, the old man also retreated with a roll, and took a large group of "tenants" and turned back to the south.

"Brother-in-law! This small wall ridge is obviously a wasteland! There are less than 600 households registered in Shuozhou, and most of the more than 4,000 people are still in Qingshui by the river, Qiu Ning, why don't you leave them with household registration and get more food? ”

As soon as the person left, the fat and strong city gate official couldn't bear it anymore, and asked hurriedly, but the Liu Defense Envoy who listened couldn't help but grin gloomily.

"Idiot! If you have a household registration, you have to hand over the food, what is the matter with you and me! Wouldn't it be wonderful to send a group of untouchables to grow food for our family with this piece of waste paper! You kid learn more, don't keep running to the kiln!"

"Brother-in-law, what you said is very true, if it weren't for celebrating a group of untouchables who had thrown themselves into the net, let's go and have a drink!"

"Let's go!"

In the middle of singing and harmony, the two Shuozhou top sergeant commanders went leisurely and chic, and before leaving, the willow defense envoy did not forget to pick up the silver and kick it into his arms, he didn't know what he sold for this two pieces of silver!
