At noon the next day, as the New Year is approaching, Chengdu as the capital of Jiannan Road, at this moment the city gate is also full of people, the river is endless, because of the dense flow of people, Shi Hao, who has been among the main generals of the west battalion of the city defense army, specially dispatched a hundred soldiers from the camp to strengthen the guard, in case of small troubles.

I have to say that after a month, the rectification of the city defense army has begun to bear fruit, at least, at this moment, these soldiers on duty have faded away from their original arrogance, although they are not a family of the army and the people, but compared with the previous oppression of the people, I don't know how much better.

It is precisely because Li Qing vigorously supported the military rectification of the city defense army that Li Qing is now supported by many squires in Jiannan Province, and now Li Qing, the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan Province, has gradually established a certain prestige among the gentry and elite in Chengdu.

Hundreds of steps in front of the city gate, two teams walked side by side, spurred horses, smoke and dust rolled, where they passed, pedestrians retreated, and for this kind of scene, the surrounding Chengdu people did not have the slightest surprise, this kind of scene for the people who live in Chengdu all the year round, it is no wonder.

This kind of battle is obviously only possible for those border generals who guard the frontier and hold heavy power! And as the New Year approaches, there are more and more border generals who return to Chengdu to reunite with their families to report to Jiedu, after all, the regulations that have been passed down for more than ten years.

Just as the envoys of the ten major festivals of the frontier have to return to Beijing every year to report on their work if there is no war in the territory, the envoys of the festivals are responsible to His Majesty today, and these border generals are also responsible to their supreme commander, the envoys of the festivals, no matter how they claim to be kings and hegemons in the places they guard? But they enjoy these powers while also being accountable to their local governors.

Now it is only the fourth year of Tianbao, although the mountain of Jiannan Road is far away from the emperor, the border generals at this time are far from being as arrogant and domineering as in the late Tang Dynasty, and they have no imperial power.

Soon, it didn't make everyone wait too long, the two teams arrived at the city gate one after another, all of them were armored men, revealing a killing aura all over their bodies, this kind of temperament can only be possessed by the border army who have really experienced the battle of life and death, even if it is the elite of the Jianmen army, they have never had this killing atmosphere.

The leaders of the two teams are middle-aged men, on the left side of the casual clothes elegant face is surrounded by the surrounding soldiers, revealing a trace of Confucian demeanor, and on the right is a strong figure, slightly dark complexion of the general in military uniform, the appearance of these two teams obviously made the city defense troops present very cautious.

Although they are all Tang troops, the city defense army on duty naturally knows that with the same strength, the other party can completely crush themselves. Therefore, whenever these frontier generals arrived, these city defense troops were respectfully entertained, for fear that there would be an accident and make the other party dissatisfied.

Therefore, as early as the two teams first appeared, the leaders of the defenders immediately dispersed the crowd and cleared the way for these border troops to enter the city.

A brigade commander of the West Battalion on duty can also be regarded as the highest commander guarding the city gate at this moment, and respectfully walked to the two middle-aged men riding tall horses not far away, and said respectfully: "The two generals have worked hard to protect the people of Jiannan for my Datang Town, and they have worked hard to protect the people of Jiannan. ”

The brigade commander seemed to be very good at talking, and the middle-aged man in civilian clothes on the left side did not change his face, and chuckled: "The brigade commander has won the award, and the reason why the northern part of Jiannan Province is so solid is that those border troops fought bloodily and exchanged their lives and their blood, and the brigade commander doesn't have to press all these credits on us!" Although the man in civilian clothes is the chief general of the first army, there is no arrogance between his words.

And when he heard that the man in civilian clothes next to him was about to completely deny these words of praise for himself in a blink of an eye, the man in military uniform next to him was not happy, and the man in civilian clothes did not eat this set, and his praise for the brigade commander was very useful.

Therefore, he immediately opened his mouth and denied: "Brother Ma's words are bad, if there is no strategy for us, even if the border army is fighting bloodily in the end, it is just a futile increase in casualties, and I know that Brother Ma is a high-ranking person who disdains these common names, but Brother Ma can't deny our efforts just based on his own personal preferences!" ”

The man in civilian clothes, that is, Ma Hongyuan, the general of Hanzhou, was not a competitive person, so he was not the slightest angry when he denies himself with the Maozhou general next to him, he just smiled faintly, and then took the lead in rushing towards the city.

Hanzhou and Maozhou are already close to each other, and it is precisely because of this that the two met by chance on the way back to Chengdu, and then chose to return to Chengdu on the same way.

Ma Hongyuan still knows a little bit about this neighbor's arrogant and arrogant character, so in many things, Ma Hongyuan chooses not to worry about him, and although this Maozhou general is domineering, he also has a little self-knowledge.

After all, Maozhou has 3,000 troops, and Hanzhou has 8,000 troops, so in comparison, the Maozhou commander naturally does not dare to be arrogant and domineering to Ma Hongyuan, the commander of Hanzhou, who has 8,000 troops, after all, although the two have the same identity, they are both border generals, and their positions are not up or down.

But in Jiannan Dao, where the emperor is far away, sometimes, the strength of a person's hands is often the key to determining his position, looking at the entire Jiannan Dao, there are only one border generals with 8,000 troops, and it is precisely because of this that Ma Hongyuan's status among all the border generals can be regarded as the top three.

Ma Hongyuan, who had arrived in Chengdu and was anxious to reunite with his family, no longer paid attention to the Maozhou cadres behind him, and led nearly 100 of his guards to whip towards Mafu, and soon disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Seeing that Ma Hongyuan was already far away, the general of Maozhou, who felt that it was not interesting, waved his hand and signaled the guards behind him to follow, and then took the lead and rushed towards Chengnei.

But there were no personnel, and just as the main general of Maozhou clamped the horse's belly and planned to move forward, he was stopped by the city defense brigade commander in front of him.

Looking at such a vast group of people, swallowing his saliva, the brigade commander said stubbornly: "This... general, the previous border generals should not bring more than 100 personal guards when they return to Chengdu, and the general has more than 300 people behind him at the moment, is the general considering letting the extra people be stationed outside the city!" ”

"Our city defense army will arrange everything for them, and they will not have to worry about their housing and transportation." For fear of angering the Maozhou general in front of him, the brigade commander hurriedly assured.

But the brigade commander obviously underestimated the arrogance of the Maozhou commander in front of him, and when he heard that the small brigade commander in front of him dared to prevent himself from entering the city, when did the Maozhou commander who dominated Maozhou all the year round receive such treatment, he immediately waved his horse whip and whipped the brigade commander in front of him, and then said arrogantly: "The young general is here for this, don't think that the general doesn't know that the guards brought by those generals in the past can be far more than a hundred, and now it is the general's turn, why is there this regulation again?" ”

"It's okay for you to let General Ben enter the city this time, if you don't let it, General Ben will fight and fight in, tell you, these people, none of them are missing, General Ben wants to bring them all into the city!"

Touching the hot whip marks on his face, the brigade commander at this moment was suffering, and still said respectfully: "If the general is unwilling, you might as well let your subordinates send someone to report it, if General Shi agrees, your subordinates will let the general enter the city!" "Obviously, the brigade commander is also afraid that the Maozhou commander in front of him will attack and make the biggest concession.

But the chief general of Maozhou did not intend to appreciate it, so he walked off the horse directly, kicked at the respectful brigade commander in front of him, and then scolded: "Report a fart, this general enters the city, it depends on which one dares to stop it!" ”

Summoned the guards and ordered: "Give me a hard break, as long as you don't get killed, if something happens, this general will bear it!" ”
