The voice of the captives resounded in the sky, and for a long time, Yang Lian stood on the command platform, and waited until the sound stopped, and the soldiers calmed down, and then glanced at the audience. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the general will let people cut the ropes on your bodies, and you will immediately gather together according to the units of each army, and if the commander is not there, he will all come out to command, and if the head is not there, the marquis will come out to command, and the general will give you half a meal, sort out the number of people, and report it." Yang Lian said.

Immediately afterwards, several soldiers standing under the command platform lifted a piece of cloth, revealing a standing wooden card, on which were written the words Shenwu Army, Longwu Army, Tianwei Army, Shenwei Army, etc., the soldiers were stunned at first, and then a literate soldier shouted loudly and stood under the sign that should be standing.

The soldiers were in chaos at first, and then under the command of the commander and the first-class general, they lined up into several columns, and the soldiers reported the numbers in an orderly manner.

The commander made a preliminary count, strode forward, and said: "The commander of the Tianwei Army, Zhu Jun, wants to tell Yang Jiedu that the number of the three armies is now seven thousand three hundred and fifty-five, of which the number of the Tianwei Army is two thousand and thirty, and the Longwu Army is ......."

This commander's memory is quite good, the number of people is not bad, Yang Lian saw that he spoke clearly, and thought that even if this person was not a child of the family, he should have read more or less, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

After Zhu Jun reported, he took a step back and stood with his hands tied.

Yang Lian nodded and said: "Everyone, you are all from the Praetorian Guard armies, the number is different, the commanders and first-class generals are lacking, in order to unify management, we will temporarily form an army, Zhu commands, and the army is all under your control!" ”

Zhu Jun was overjoyed, it was Yang Lian who was promoting him, seven thousand people, but it was not as simple as a commander, he took a step forward and said, "Zhu Jun thank Yang Jiedu for his promotion." ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "Commander Zhu, it's getting late today, and the general won't bother you, eat first and rest early!" As he spoke, Yang Lian waved his hand, and more than 300 of his subordinates moved the big wooden barrel in, and when they arrived in the center of the school field, the wooden barrel was uncovered, and the smell of rice came out, which was mouth-watering.

"There is enough food, but it can't be wasted, if you eat too much, you won't be responsible!" Yang Lian said seriously.

"Thank you Yang Jiedu!" The captives shouted in unison, but soon, attracted by the food, they soon gathered together and ate according to the instructions of the robe.

Zhu Jun glanced at his temporary subordinates, walked up to the command platform, and said to Zhu Qi on the side: "General, the last general asks to see Yang Jiedu." ”

Zhu Qi nodded and said, "Please here!" ”

The two of them went one after the other, and when they arrived at Yang Lian's side, Zhu Jun half-knelt down and said, "Yang Jiedu's life-saving grace, Zhu Jun is unforgettable." ”

"General Zhu can't be like this!" Yang Lian said, walked a few steps, helped Zhu Jun up, and said: "Commander Zhu, you and I are colleagues, now the attack on Wu Yue is the top priority, we should be the same enemy, Commander Zhu does not have to be so polite." ”

Zhu Jun said: "Yang Jiedu, the last general is a little worried. ”

"Oh? Commander Zhu's worry is that he feels that he can't control these more than 7,000 people? Yang Lian asked.

Zhu Jun nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This is just one of them." Yang Jiedu, please forgive the last general, among these people, there are various departments of the forbidden army such as the Shenwu Army, the Tianwei Army, and the Shenwei Army, and even some of them are local armies, although they are all Tang Army, but they are mixed with people and snakes, and many people do not know each other. The last general is worried that there will be spies from Wu Yueren, who will enter Yuhang and wait for an opportunity to make trouble. ”

Yang Lian laughed twice when he heard this, looked at Zhu Qi again, and said, "You are waiting here and presiding over the overall situation." ”

Zhu Qi nodded, Yang Lian took Zhu Jun and left, in a small room, it was the office in the barracks, Yang Lian dragged a chair to sit down. On the desk, there was a set of tea sets, Yang Lian poured two cups of tea, one cup was pushed in front of Zhu Jun, and said, "Commander Zhu, you drink some water first." ”

When Zhu Jun responded, Yang Lian asked the soldiers to bring snacks over.

"Commander Zhu, talk while eating, don't be in a hurry." Yang Lian admonished.

Zhu Jun was also so hungry that he panicked, so he ate two pieces of dim sum, filled his stomach a little, and then wiped his mouth and said: "Yang Jiedu, the current situation is very delicate, although Yang Jiedu can't seize Hangzhou for a while, but Yuezhou, Mingzhou, and even Zhoushan, Shengsi Islands and other places are firmly controlled by Yang Jiedu. ”

"Well, go ahead." Yang Lian picked up the tea and took a sip, this Zhu Jun has some knowledge, it seems that he can be a commander, and he must rely on his true skills.

"If, the last general said if, if the last will be the king of Wu Yue, there will definitely be soldiers of Wu Yue Kingdom in this batch of captives, waiting for the opportunity to move, once the war breaks out, the news can be transmitted in time, and even get the necessary information." Zhu Jun said.

"Commander Zhu's words are very reasonable, so what should be done with Commander Zhu's meaning?" Yang Lian asked.

Zhu Jun seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and as soon as Yang Lian asked, he shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to come up with a clever plan." ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said: "As Shicai said, the composition of this army is complicated, Commander Zhu will give you two days to record the origins of these 7,000 people and who is in their families one by one, and on the third day, Ben will definitely see this roster." ”

"It's an identity check." Zhu Jun thought in his heart, nodded and agreed: "Oh! ”

"In addition, the brothers have suffered a lot during this time, so they are all recuperating in the barracks, and they must not leave the camp without the permission of the general. In addition, starting tomorrow, Ben will find someone to read the general's military orders in the army. Yang Lian said.

Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Yang Lian explained, this is the time, under the leadership of Zhou Zong, the various armies of the Praetorian Guard disturbed the people, burned, killed and looted, which can be described as all evil. Yang Lian wanted to eliminate Wu Yue and occupy Hangzhou, Yuezhou and other rich places, he didn't want these places to become uninhabited places, so he always restrained his subordinates and did not kill the people indiscriminately. When the old department of Zhou Zong arrived, Yang Lian must put an end to this kind of behavior, so these Praetorian Guards must first receive Yang Lian's education in the barracks, otherwise they will go out and disturb the people, and Yuhang City will probably be in chaos.

Zhu Jun is very understanding, the two talked for a while, Yang Lian asked about Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun is a native of Fuliang in Raozhou, and was once under the command of the envoy of Anhua Jiedu, due to the fierce war in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, the loss of the forbidden army is large, and the son of heaven Li Jing transferred elite soldiers from all over the country to supplement the Praetorian Guard, Zhu Jun entered the Shenwu Army by chance.

Because when he was in Raozhou, Zhu Jun had made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits, so he entered the forbidden army and was awarded the post of commander. Originally, Zhu Jun thought that his career would be prosperous, but he didn't expect things to develop to this point, he actually became a prisoner and was almost killed.

For Yang Lian, Zhu Jun is grateful, and he himself is ambitious, so he wants to make a contribution, otherwise when he comes to Wu Yue this time, he will only become the laughing stock of others.

The next day, Zhu Jun was full of energy and worked hard, and Yang Lian sent more than 100 literate soldiers to help him, and at the same time sent people to guard the gate of the camp, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were never allowed to leave the camp. On the first and second days, nothing happened, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers were still relatively weak, so they didn't make any trouble.

Zhu Jun's soldiers did it quite smoothly, and on the third day, the book with the scent of ink was placed on Yang Lian's desk, Yang Lian opened it and looked at it, most of these captured Praetorian Guards were people from near Jinling, and only a few of them were from other places like Zhu Jun.

More than 7,000 people, it is not easy to check their identities, the soldiers in the Praetorian Guard are okay, there is always a roster in Jinling's military department to check, although there are also in the locality, it takes a lot of time, Yang Lian prepared with both hands, while sending someone to bring the roster back to Jinling, while secretly observing, he can be sure that Qian Hongyu must have placed Wu Yue people in it.

After a few more days, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard accepted Zhu Jun's leadership and Yang Lian's propaganda, and swore one by one that they would never disturb the people in Yuhang City. Regardless of Ouyang Lian, she still did not relax her vigilance, this matter must not be sloppy.

On the 10th, the soldiers who rushed to Jinling brought back the news, he took the roster, and with the assistance of the squire of the military department, he found out the identities of these people, most of whom were well documented in the Jinling military department, and in the end only more than 50 people remained.

After comparison, these more than 50 people are indeed local reinforcements, and due to lack of time, it is difficult to determine their specific identities. Yang Lian gradually relaxed his heart.

And at this time, news came, Zhou Zong appeared outside the city, he took a few cronies, with a decadent look, Yang Lian sent Zhu Jun to take him into the city and bring him into the county office.

Now Zhou Zong is no longer as full of ambition as a few days ago, during this period of time when he was captured, Qian Hongyu treated him well, eating and drinking, but for Zhou Zong, who has always been arrogant, what a shame it is to be captured, he once wanted to die, but when he thought of his wife and children at home, his will to die suddenly disappeared, and he wanted to live. This belief sustains him to this day.

Qian Hongyu let him out of the city, and only gave him an old horse that was shaking when he walked, and there was no food or anything, so that Zhou Zong could only defect to Yuhang, Zhou Zong originally thought that Yang Lian would not accept him, but in the end Yang Lian still sent someone to pick him up. For a while, Zhou Zong was in a trance.

In fact, for Yang Lian, Zhou Zong and him did not have a direct conflict of interests, the reason why Zhou Zong had opinions on Yang Lian was nothing more than a faint feeling that Yang Lian was the old prince of the previous dynasty, in addition, there was another reason, that is, Yang Lian knew Emperor Zhou E, and his daughter seemed to have a good impression of him.

How can this work? Zhou Zong once found someone to tell his daughter's fortune, and the old Taoist priest said that his daughter had the posture of the emperor and queen, and she was a person who would become the emperor's wife, how could she fall in love with an unidentified person like Yang Lian? So when he was next to Xuanwu Lake, even if he was rescued by Yang Lian, he still didn't have a good face for him.

The world is unpredictable, Zhou Zong couldn't guess that he was just a general at the beginning, and in just a few years, he became the festival envoy of the town guarding the side, and this time Wu Yue also made a lot of contributions, Zhoushan, Mingzhou, and Yuezhou were all occupied by him, and the sailors of Wu Yue suffered heavy losses, and there was no time for three or four years, and they couldn't recover at all.

Even if the great plan to destroy Wu Yue Kingdom fails this time, in these few years, the Tang Army's sailors can threaten the coastal areas of Wu Yue Kingdom at any time. If Wu Yue Kingdom cannot be destroyed this time, the Son of Heaven can punish Zhou Zong and punish the Changzhou Assassin Shi, but there is one person who will inevitably be rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and that is Yang Lian.

I'm afraid that after the war is over this time, Yang Lian will officially marry Princess Huairou, right? Zhou Zong knew that the marriage of the two had been put on the agenda several times, but in the end, it was delayed because of various things. Yang Lian became a relative of the emperor, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, Zhou Zong didn't want to think about it, he could only keep his distance from Yang Lian.

But Emperor Zhou E seems to have a good impression of him, Zhou Zong feels that if he can return to Jinling this time, it is time to find a mother-in-law for Emperor Zhou E, and if he marries someone earlier, Zhou Zong will rest assured that if he marries someone, Emperor Zhou E and Yang Lian will no longer have anything to do with him.

When Zhou Zong was thinking silently, he had already arrived at the gate of the county office, and saw Yang Lian standing with his hands tied, looking at the sun in mid-air, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhu Jun walked over and said, "Yang Jie, Zhou Situ is here." ”

"Oh?" Yang Lian came back to his senses, turned his head, looked at Zhou Zong, smiled, walked over, and said: "Zhou Situ served the country, but unfortunately was captured by Wu Yue's dog thief, Yang was really worried, and today he was relieved to see that Zhou Situ was safe and sound." ”

Zhou Zongqiang endured the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and said: "Yang Jiedu's words are serious, Zhou is just a defeated general, and now he has picked up a life, which is a blessing in misfortune." ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "Zhou Situ Ji people only have heavenly appearances, so they will naturally turn evil into good fortune. ”

Zhou Zong raised his eyebrows, but he was thinking about what Qian Hongli said to him before leaving, and Qian Hongli was afraid that he would not believe it, so he handed him Yang Lian's letter. After all, as a minister of the same dynasty, Zhou Zong knew Yang Lian's handwriting, and when he finished reading Yang Lian's letter, Zhou Zong was almost angry.

In any case, both of them were courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, and now he actually persuaded Wu Yue to kill him, which was too much. Although Zhou Zong was dissatisfied in his heart, the city government was still relatively deep, and he didn't say it.

Yang Lian saw him like this, and knew that there was a knot between the two, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Zhou Situ, Yang has already asked people to clean up a few clean houses in the county office, and is waiting for Zhou Situ to move in." ”

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Zhou Zong showed an unhappy smile on his face, and said, "So, thank you Yang Jiedu." ”

Yang Lian didn't care, he walked first, Zhou Zong was still walking slowly, seeing that Yang Lian was walking fast, he was about to disappear, so he couldn't help but sigh and chased after him. Yang Lian heard the footsteps and slowed down, after all, he still had something to say to Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong caught up with Yang Lian and kept a distance of one foot from him.

"Zhou Situ, have you ever felt unwell in the past few days?" Yang Lian suddenly asked.

Zhou Zong was stunned, not understanding why Yang Lian asked this? Immediately shook his head and said, "Although Zhou was captured, Qian Hongyu was not bad to Zhou. ”
