Chapter 30: The Divine Army
"You are Yang Lian, the person recommended by King Qi?" In the Shenwu Army, Gao Shen thought about a pair of tiger eyes, as if he wanted to eat people, staring at Yang Lian deadly. Huoran? Text: w?w?w?.?
Yang Lian stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "The last general is Yang Lian." The same pair of eyes looked at Gao Shensi without fear.
Gao Shensi is now in his sixties, tall, with thick hair, a gray beard on his chin, and deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are still very bright. It is Lian Po who is old, he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, and Gao Shensi still has the courage to serve the country.
Seeing that Yang Lian looked at him without fear, Gao Xiansi stroked his beard and said, "King Qi and Ben General said that you once saved the county lord of Huairou, which is very good. But you are in the rivers and lakes, you don't understand officialdom, you don't want to be the head of the capital, but want to start from the general, why is this? ”
"It is precisely because of the ignorance of officialdom that the last general is willing to start from the lowest end." Yang Lian said.
Gao Shensi narrowed his eyes and said, "You really think so?" ”
"The army is a place that pays attention to seniority, and if you suddenly ascend to a high position, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied. Although Dutou is only in charge of a hundred people, he is the backbone of this hundred people, and he is an important general who connects the previous and the next. Therefore, he is willing to start as a general Yu Hou. If there is some small work, it is not too late to do it. Yang Lian said seriously.
During the Five Dynasties period, the military system was chaotic, and most of them were white, but some even had thousands of people. The Southern Tang Dynasty inherited Yang Wu and carried out the restructuring, with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasty is somewhat similar, the Shenwu Army set up a unified army, that is, Gao Xunsi, there are five command battalions under the army, each battalion has a commander, all Yu Hou 1 person; The command battalion has five capitals under its jurisdiction, with a total of 500 people, each of which is 100 people, the infantry army has a principal and deputy capital, and the horse army has a principal and deputy soldier and horse envoy of 1 each. Under the head of the capital or the soldiers and horses, there are five generals and two generals.
Dutou and General Yuhou seem to be only one level apart, but their status is different, Dutou has already entered the ranks of officers, so Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, is very puzzled, but it is not easy to force it, so he has to let Yang Lian be willful.
Yang Lian's words made Gao Xiansi nod again and again, he began to join the army from the time of Yang Xingmi, starting from the lowest level of soldiers, because of his bravery in battle, he gradually rose to the top of the army, and was appreciated by the ancestors, and finally sat in the position of the commander of the Shenwu Army.
Gao Xiansi looked at Yang Lian and felt that this person was a little different, so he immediately stood up and said, "You will follow the future." ”
The Shenwu Army's garrison is in the Imperial City, and it has the responsibility of protecting the palace, the Imperial City, and Jinling. Yang Lian guessed that perhaps Li Yu relied on this to capture Yang Wu Jiangshan, so he was wary of the generals of the forbidden army.
Along the way, Gao Xiansi didn't speak, and Yang Lian kept silent, approaching the Shenwu Army station, and the sound of drills could be heard from a distance.
Entering the station, looking at the past from a distance, rows of soldiers were lining up, and a general in armor was taking the roll call, "Lin Renzhao!" ”
"The last general!" A young man walked away, about twenty-five years old.
Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned, this person is Lin Renzhao? The Lin Renzhao who was killed by Li Yuqu?
At this time, the general shouted again: "Chen Tie! ”
No one answered, and the general frowned and shouted again, but still no one answered.
"General Zhou, why didn't Chen Tie come?" Gao Shensi spoke at this time.
The general turned around and saw Gao Xiansi, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said, "Zhou Hongzuo has seen the unified army. ”
Gao Xiansi waved his hand and said, "Commander Zhou doesn't have to be polite. He glanced ahead and said, "This person's name is Yang Lian, and he is recommended by the King of Qi, since Chen Tie didn't come, let Yang Lian take his place." ”
Zhou Hongzuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but his surprise was not because Chen Tie's general Yu Hou was replaced, but because of Yang Lian's name. In a trance, he couldn't help muttering: "Yang Lian? He raised his head sharply and looked at Yang Lian.
Yang Lian also looked at Zhou Hongzuo, Zhou Hongzuo is Zhou Ben's son, unlike Zhou Ben and Zhou Ye who are loyal to Yang Wu, it was Zhou Hongzuo who personally killed Yang Meng, the king of Linchuan, that is, Yang Lian's third uncle. He didn't have a good impression of this person at all, but at this time, Yang Lian still arched his hand and said with a smile: "Yang Lian has seen Commander Zhou." As he spoke, he spoke with a faint Guanzhong accent.
Zhou Hongzuo came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's me who is rude." As he spoke, he looked Yang Lian up and down, and then he put his mind at ease, the old prince of the previous dynasty was gentle and elegant, full of poetry and books, and his appearance was also excellent, where is he like this person, with a scar on his face? Moreover, since it was recommended by the King of Qi, he must know this person, and it must not be the old prince of the previous dynasty. Thinking of this, Zhou Hongzuo put down his heart.
Gao Xiansi commanded in a low voice, and said, "Commander Zhou, that Chen Tie is an old man from the Fujian Kingdom, you have to take care of it." ”
Zhou Hongzuo sighed and said: "Gao Tongjun, since Chen Tie arrived in the army, it can be said that he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he was often drunk. ”
"This man has a perverse personality, you can't let him make trouble." Gao Shensi said.
"Humble obedience." Zhou Hongzuo said.
"Well, Ben will have something to do, so I'll go first. Yang Lian will entrust you to take care of it. With that, Gao Shensi turned around and walked out of the barracks.
Yang Lian gave his hand again and said with a smile: "Yang Lian was originally a grass people, and King Mengqi took care of it, so he served the country." Commander Zhou has experienced a hundred battles and is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he hopes that Commander Zhou will take care of him. ”
"Oh? Will Yu Hou know me? Zhou Hongzuo's eyes narrowed.
"Hehe, back then, Commander Zhou designed to kill the King of Linchuan, so that the first emperor talked about it, although the last general was reckless at the time, he also knew." Yang Lian said unhurriedly, and as he spoke, a pair of eyes looked at Zhou Hongzuo, very serious.
Zhou Hongzuo's eyes shrank violently, he was able to get to the top by shooting Yang Meng, the king of Linchuan, when his father Zhou Ben scolded himself, saying that he shouldn't. Later, Zhou Hongzuo and Xu Jue and others wrote a book, asking King Qi to accept Chan and replace Yang Wu, Zhou Ben scolded, saying that the people surnamed Zhou were passed down from Zhou Gongjin, and they were loyal and good for several generations. It's a pity that the general trend has been achieved at that time, Zhou Ben was unable to return to the sky, and soon died of depression.
Shooting Yang Meng, the king of Linchuan, Zhou Hongzuo thought that in order to seek fame and fortune, he was ashamed of Yang Wu, who was already a fish, but his father was sick because of this incident after all, and then he was even more depressed, he was still very taboo to mention this matter, but this person named Yang Lian had just come to the Shenwu Army, and he didn't open any pot to mention, which made him a little unhappy.
It's just that it was the person introduced by the King of Qi, and it was Gao Tongjun who personally brought him over, which is enough to prove that this person is deeply trusted by the King of Qi, at least Gao Tongjun also wants to win him over. Zhou Hongzuo had no choice but to snort coldly and said with a smile: "Jiang Yu Hou is well-informed. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and stopped looking at Yang Lian.
Yang Lian glanced at it, and saw rows of soldiers standing, only one row was missing the leader, thinking that it was Chen Tie who had not arrived.
"Everyone, this is the person brought by the Gao Tongjun, surnamed Yang Minglian, from today on, he is a member of my Shenwu Army. I heard that Yang General Yu Hou single-handedly saved the county lord of Huairou, and his kung fu is naturally excellent, and you may as well learn from him if you have time. Zhou Hongzuo had a bad stomach and quickly fought back.
Yang Lian was slightly stunned, this Zhou Hongzuo was well-informed, just by reporting his name, he knew that he had saved the county lord of Huairou. However, he was not worried, since he was willing to come, he naturally had some plans, and immediately arched his hand to everyone, and said, "In Xia Yang Lian, I have seen all my colleagues. Yang Lian was born in poverty and has never led a soldier, so I hope you will give me more advice. ”
While speaking, Yang Lian glanced at Lin Renzhao, a famous general in the late Southern Tang Dynasty, who was still just a general at this time.
Lin Renzhao also looked at Yang Lian, he was a native of Jianyang, he turned out to be a general of the Fujian State, the Fujian State was destroyed, Wang Yanzheng was escorted to Jinling, he went north with Chen Tie and others, Wang Yanzheng was Li Jingfeng and General Yulin, who seemed to be prominent, but in fact he had no military power, just a means of being placed under house arrest.
Some civil and military officials of the former Min State were also dispersed or entered the forbidden army to serve. Most of these people do not have high official positions, most of them are generals and marquis, and they are in charge of one or twenty soldiers. However, Lin Renzhao has a calm personality, strong and resolute, although his career has been frustrated, he has not given up on himself, and he still practices diligently every day, believing that one day, his talents will always be reused.
And Chen Tie is different, although both of them are known as fierce generals in the army, but Chen Tie has a rough personality, he goes his own way, and he goes to drink when he is in a bad mood.
After Yang Lian introduced himself, he stood at the front and listened to Zhou Hongzuo's words. Although Zhou Hongzuo is a martial artist, he spoke one by one, and after half an hour, Zhou Hongzuo left, and glanced at Yang Lian before leaving, thoughtfully.
The five capitals under the jurisdiction of Zhou Hongzuo are headed by five people: Yao Feng, 6 Meng Jun, Li Ping, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Tie. The first three are all from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only the last two are the generals of the old Fujian, so they are arranged for monitoring, but now Chen Tie has been replaced by Yang Lian.
After Zhou Hongzuo left, Yao Feng, 6 Meng Jun and others began to train soldiers, and they were not uncommon in this situation, and Chen Tie was not good at socializing, and his relationship with Yao Feng, 6 Meng Jun, and Li Ping was not good, so no one cared.
However, Lin Renzhao was not in a hurry to practice, but was thinking about things, and walked over after a while, with a serious face: "You are Yang Lian, do you know the old prince of the previous dynasty, King Hongnongjing?" ”
Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "Does Marquis Lin Jiangyu think I know?" ”
"Know, perhaps, you are him, maybe." Lin Renzhao smiled, his eyes still looking at Yang Lian.
"Everyone who sees me asks like this, in fact, I am the old prince of the previous dynasty, Brother Lin might as well sue the King of Qi and let him come to arrest me back, in this way, Brother Lin is a great achievement, and his progress is just around the corner." Yang Lian smiled.
Lin Renzhao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Lian to answer like this, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's just a joke in the next one, Brother Yang, don't be surprised." I can't say that in the future. ”
Yang Lian also has the heart to make friends with Lin Renzhao, after all, in later generations, the famous generals of the Southern Tang Kingdom are Lin Renzhao, Liu Renzhan and others. Yang Lian also arched his hand and said, "What Brother Lin said is very true. Yang Lian thanked him. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, with a "bang", the door of the school field was kicked open.
