The matter on the bookcase in the hall was almost dealt with last night, and Xuan Shijing sat in the hall and looked through the remaining inconsequential things, at least to know it in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At least the time is still abundant, as for the army in Minzhou, it is not too late to wait until Gao Jun brings people to come, and there has been a large-scale removal of officers in the army, which shows that in the past three years, Li Zhi has been constantly infiltrating the army of Minzhou, and some important personnel in the army are very likely to be Li Zhi'an's hands, otherwise if the military salary is not paid for three months, it will not be overturned sooner.

About half an hour later, the little official who went outside the city returned to the government with a middle-aged man who was about thirty years old.

"I've seen adults."

"Grass people see adults."

"No need to be polite, you are the one who served as a captain in the Minzhou army before?" Xuan Shijing looked at the man in his thirties and asked.

"Lord Hui, exactly." The man arched his hand.

"What's your name? When did you leave the army? What was the state of the army in Minzhou when you left? Xuan Shijing asked.

"Lord Hui, the grass people's name is Pang Mi, he left the army two years ago, when the number of people in the army in Minzhou was less than 20,000, but he was better equipped and could resist the occasional attacks of Tuyuhun." Pang Mi said: "Three years ago, His Royal Highness the King of Jin came to Minzhou, in the first year, in Minzhou conscientiously developed agriculture, and the people's lives were better than before, but in the second year, they began to expand the army in Minzhou, saying that it was to prevent Tuyuhun, which is also normal, but after the expansion of the army, some important personnel in the original army were all laid off, and the replacement of the staff were all people who had not been seen before by the grass people, and many brothers of the grass people were originally in the army, after the replacement of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, They also drove out of the army one after another. ”

"Now above the commander of the army, there are still brothers you know?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are a few, when the King of Jin arrived in the army, they were the first to express their support for His Royal Highness the King of Jin in Minzhou, and none of us thought of going anywhere else, but we just thought about protecting Minzhou and preventing Tuyuhun, but I didn't expect it to become like this in the end." Pang Mi said this, looking a little lost.

Thinking about what happened at the beginning, so many of his brothers were dismissed for no reason, how could he not know what was in it, it was nothing more than that King Jin wanted to take the power of the military into his own hands, and the people who replaced him, or the people who stayed, became the henchmen of King Jin.

They are just some big soldiers, and they are soft-spoken, and in the face of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, what else can they do except accept their fate?

"How many brothers do you know in the army now, or rather, people who are not too close to Li Zhi, the king of Jin? If you are reinstated and return to the army at this time, how sure are you that you will be able to gather your subordinates back then? Xuan Shijing asked.

"This ......" Pang Mi groaned slightly: "I am very confident in the brothers below, but among the Bai Commanders, Captains, and Partial Generals in the army, the grass people have no confidence, after all, two years have passed." ”

"As long as the people below listen to you." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Wait until tomorrow, you bring your old brothers who left the army back then to the mansion to find Ben Hou, and Ben Hou will take you back to the army." ”

"Yes." Pang Mi responded, his tone full of excitement.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to return to the army after two years, I have been in the army for a long time, and I am used to life in the army.

"How long have you been in Minzhou's army?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's been more than ten years." Pang Mi said.

can go from an unknown soldier to a captain, in Minzhou, ten years is about the same.

"In this way, you are very familiar with the terrain of Minzhou, and you also know a lot about Tuyuhun?"

Xuan Shijing has just arrived, and he is blind to many things, and the caravan can only hear about it, unless the people from the Shenhou Mansion are transferred here, otherwise the matter of Tuyuhun can only be heard more from these experienced veterans.

Pang Mi nodded: "Although Tuyuhun surrenders to our Tang Dynasty, but every year in the autumn and winter, there will still be small-scale troops to invade the Tang Dynasty and come to the Tang Dynasty to plunder, but they may not be wearing clothes painted on the army, which will make people mistakenly think that they are just ordinary bandits robbing houses, but there are still some differences between the Tuyuhun people and the Tang people, and in the autumn and winter, there will be more scouts on the border, in order to prevent the Tuyuhun army from dividing into small groups to sneak into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and attack the ordinary people." ”

"In this way, Tuyuhun won't attack Minzhou City, right?" Xuan Shijing said.

Pang Mi shook his head: "No, if Tuyuhun directly sends troops to attack Minzhou City, it will directly tear his face with Datang, and he will definitely fight, and now Tuyuhun will not dare to fight with Datang." ”

So that's the case, if that's the case, then Li Zhi will be redundant to strengthen the walls of Minzhou City in Minzhou, unless, he has a deeper meaning in it, or he knows that there will be a time when Tuyuhun will attack Minzhou City.

And Tuyuhun did not dare to compete with the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, if Tuyuhun attacked Minzhou City, then Li Zhi must have played a big role in it.

"Judging from the experience of Tuyuhun in the past, at this time, there will be Tuyuhun's army on the border?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The number is very small, it is not the regular army of Tuyuhun, but some people from Tuyuhun on the border, if these people are organized to come to the Tang Dynasty to make trouble, the ordinary local people can deal with it." Pang Mi said: "It will take about a month to really get to Tuyuhun to enter the country. ”

"It seems that our time is also tight, and within a month, we must purge the army." Xuan Shijing said: "Pang Mi, in this month, Ben Hou needs you and your brothers, full assistance, Ben Hou will not hide from you, the current Minzhou, is undoubtedly directly leaked under the Tuyuhun soldiers, the army has not been paid for three months, think about the people's hearts are also very impetuous, Ben Hou is trying to find a way to raise military salaries, first stabilize the people's hearts, and then the next thing is to clear the army which people have different intentions, you know?"

"Yes, the grass people are willing to serve the adults and horses." Pang Mi arched his hand and said.
