Chapter 223: Broken
Zhao Yuyi's first impression of Dong Fang was that it was broken. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a small township, the city wall of Zhaoyuyi is not high, only half of Qi County, the wall skin is yellow, tall people can touch the battlements on tiptoe, and they can turn over with a little means, and they are full of pits and cracks, and they don't know what is smashed out, so it is difficult for them to defend the empty Xiaoyi to deal with the invasion of water thieves every year.
It was noon when the group arrived, which should have been a time when there were more pedestrians coming and going, but the door was closed, and the townsmen in the city probed their brains, as if they were afraid of the cold arrows that would fly at some point. The people of this small city have the greatest speculation and fear of any new face, after all, the water thieves in Zhaoyu Qili have come ashore every once in a while to make trouble, and they have suffered greatly.
Fortunately, Zhao Bo is also a more prestigious person in Yi because of his literacy and hyphenation, and everyone pushed him to go to Qi County to ask for help from the new feudal monarch Chang Anjun.
"It's Uncle Zhao, he's back!"
Zhao Bo's return was like a spring breeze blowing away the cold winter, spreading ten to hundreds, which made thousands of people in the city very happy, but they immediately found out that Zhao Bo not only brought back the soldiers in the county, but the prince wanted to recruit troops in Zhaoyuyi, and they immediately became suspicious.
"Don't doubt the second and third sons, Chang'an Jun is a true thief!" Zhao Bo swore that he told the three elders of the township and the elders of the village what he saw and heard in Qi County, and heard that there were finally people who were willing to sincerely eliminate thieves and harm for the people, and the people of Zhaoyuyi all cried with joy.
"I thought that the government didn't care if we lived or died, and I didn't want to have a virtuous son!"
"I've been looking forward to it for so many years, and I'm finally looking forward to a savior!"
Dong Fang knew that time was pressing, and he also took advantage of the hot iron, he set up a banner of "recruiting troops to suppress thieves" at the Neixiang Temple in Yi, calling on those who are familiar with the terrain and waterways of Zhaoyuqi, or who are proficient in water, to vote enthusiastically.
Facing this young man with a Handan accent, everyone was a little hesitant at first, but Zhao Bo said that Dong Fang buried his father and daughter in the pavilion and vowed to kill the thief, which caused everyone to sigh for a while. Dong Fang, a young Sima who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and jealous and hateful, also won the favor of the villagers, which made him twice the result with half the effort in recruiting troops in Zhaoyuyi.
In just a few days, the news of Chang'anjun's recruitment of troops to suppress thieves spread all over the township, Zhaoyu Township has 2,000 household registrations, in addition to the number of more than 1,000 townships, there is no shortage of wives and daughters who were kidnapped by water thieves, or they killed Kun's father and brothers, so there is an endless stream of defectors.
This is also to blame Zhao Yuqi's water thieves are too vicious, not only stealing grain, but also killing innocents indiscriminately, the people's fishing, farming and other livelihoods have been almost destroyed by the thieves, many people stomp their feet ruthlessly, throw down the empty houses to eat military rations, and can also avenge their relatives.
Within a few days, there were nearly two hundred young men who were willing to assist Chang'an Jun in suppressing the thieves!
Seeing that more and more people are gathering, it should be a happy thing, but the three elders of the township and the elders of the village came to Dong Fang with some worry.
"Assist Gongzi to suppress the thief, we should serve ourselves, but if we take these two hundred Ding Zhuang to the county, the township will be empty, if the thieves hear the news and there is no one to guard the wall, I am afraid that this Zhaoyuyi will not be able to be saved......"
After listening to this, Dong Fang felt that the worries of these local fathers and elders were indeed reasonable, if the emptiness of Zhaoyuyi allowed the thieves to take advantage of it, then it would be a good intention to do bad things.
A few days later, just when Dong Fang was worried about the problem of eating more than 200 people, a villager came to report in shock, saying that a heavily armed team had arrived outside the township!
"Could it be a thief?" Everyone was terrified, and Dong Fang hurriedly followed Shangchengtou to take a look, but laughed heartily.
What kind of thief is this, it is obviously a group of Chang'an Jun's private soldiers, there are as many as forty or fifty of them, driving a lot of chariots and horses, full of armor, food, etc., and the leader is Dong Fang's colleague Gong Zhongyin!
……
"Didn't my brother reorganize Ding Zhuang in the county, how did he come here?"
After the gate of the township was opened, Dong Fang immediately greeted him and saluted Gong Zhongyin.
Among the four of them in black, Gong Zhongyin is the oldest and the most calm, and the other three have always regarded him as a big brother, except for liking to weave a bamboo basket, Gong Zhongyin is their role model in terms of martial arts, loyalty to Chang'anjun, and meticulous work, and Dong Fang has always been called a brother.
Gong Zhongyin kept a calm face all the way, and after seeing Dong Fang, he rarely smiled: "Of course, I came to send you charcoal in the snow on the order of my son." "After following Chang Anjun for a long time, the four of them have also learned a lot of new words.
It turned out that with the county pawn in Feiping, those veteran soldiers were subdued; And Gong Zhongyin also established his prestige in Ding Zhuangli, so that they no longer dared not take training seriously, and Qi County's military equipment was on the right track.
At this time, with the deepening of the understanding of the situation of the thieves in the four townships of Qi County, Chang Anjun and Cai Ze are also changing their previous unreasonable plan.
For example, considering that the thieves in Xixiang are serious, and while recruiting and training soldiers, it is also necessary to guard against thieves, so it was decided to let Dong Fang take the newly recruited young men to station in Xixiang and train on the spot. Although these newly recruited young men have a grudge against thieves and are not afraid of death in battle, they are new pawns after all, and they don't know their confidence, so Chang'an Jun asked Gong Zhongyin to bring forty or fifty private soldiers to escort food, armor, and equipment over, and hand over all these people to Dong Fang.
"Childe said, use the law of war, teach Rong first. One person learns to fight, and teaches ten people; Ten people learn to fight, and teach hundreds of people. These dozens of veterans have all been trained by Ma Fuzi and us in Linzi, so you can assign them to be the commanders and even the commanders of the new pawns. ”
The county magistrates and the Haochang clan of Qixian County have their own original establishments, and it is not easy to re-disperse, but the newly recruited young men in Xixiang come from all over the world, and they are in different places, which is just right to include them in the private soldier system.
In this operation to suppress the thieves, Chang'an Jun planned to use Xixiang Qingzhuang and Qixian county soldiers as the main force, and the 1,500 Hao elders as assistance and cooperation, which is like the main pawn and the envy pawn in the formal battle, the former is responsible for the battle, and the latter is mainly in charge of baggage, building bridges and paving roads.
Gong Zhongyin said: "Therefore, those wealthy elders don't have to practice very well, as long as they are organized into a Shiwu, they know how to advance and retreat, and the church can wave their flags and shout. But your side is different, Gongzi has high hopes for Xixiang Qingzhuang, saying that he wants to use them to hate thieves, be proficient in water, make them into blades, and when the time comes, enter Zhaoyu Qi to suppress thieves, these people are likely to be the vanguard, and your task is much heavier than mine. ”
"Also, Mr. Cai said that Xixiang is withering, I am afraid that the food will be unsustainable, so the food of more than 200 people, Gongzi will let people escort them from the county every half a month, you can put down your worries, according to the training method of Ma Fuzi, they will be trained into a brave army."
Dong Fang smiled bitterly: "How can I have the skills of Ma Fuzi and my brother, just don't disappoint my son." ”
In addition, Dong Fang's task in Zhaoyuyi is also to collect ships, Zhaoyu Qi is full of water, and water battles will definitely be indispensable at that time, and this task will be handed over to Zhao Bo and others, who were born as fishermen.
After explaining the matter, Gong Zhongyin was about to return to Qi County, Dong Fang sent him out of the city, and lost no time in inquiring: "Brother, it's late April, I don't know when I will send troops to suppress the thieves?" How many days do I have left? ”
Gong Zhongyin quietly told him: "Childe doesn't seem to plan to rush to send troops, he has been waiting, I asked what he was waiting for, and Childe replied that he was waiting for the east wind......"
"Dongfeng?" Dong Fang scratched the back of his head, Chang Anjun was like this, and from time to time he said some inexplicable hidden words.
After thinking for a while, Dong Fang decided to give up thinking, Gongzi's mind has always been unfathomable, and he can't guess it, besides, his task is in the west, and it is in vain to think about what "Dongfeng" is.
He finally asked casually: "Brother, Gongzi ordered me to be stationed in Xixiang to train troops on the spot, how about the post without letters?" He went to Nanxiang, how are the thieves over there than Xixiang? Can I also train on the spot? ”
Among the four of them in black, he was the youngest in the black, but he was the most clever, sharp-toothed, and the most likable to his son, and when he went to Yan Kingdom, he took him with him.
It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said it, Gong Zhongyin's face sank again, he looked at the yellowed township wall behind him, pulled Dong Fang and said in his ear: "Don't mention this matter to others, you went to Nanxiang without a letter and walked around, ten days later, but no one raised a few, he came back and reported to the son, saying that he was in Nanxiang and found that something was strange over there!" ”
