Chapter 0196: Arriving in Pengcheng
Although Pengcheng County is connected to the border Lanling, it is an out-and-out hinterland, and the prosperity of this place is not comparable to Lanling County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In mid-June, Wu Bai led the new army to the area around the Pengcheng County Administration.
The military headquarters of the Dazhen Empire has clear regulations, and it is not allowed to enter the city except for the imperial city guards.
When he arrived in Pengcheng County, Wu Bai naturally wanted to meet with the Pengcheng County Guard. Due to the existence of the regulations of the military department, the new army could only be stationed twenty miles away from the Pengcheng County Administration Office, and 200 personal guards could be selected to accompany them.
After the new army set up camp, Wu Bai led 200 horsemen to Pengcheng County, the seat of Pengcheng County.
Because the imperial capital had already conveyed the imperial order, the Pengcheng county guard was prepared for the arrival of the young tiger general. When Wu Bai and his entourage arrived ten miles away from Pengcheng, the officials here were already waiting.
The person in charge of welcoming the young tiger general was Zheng Sheng, the county of Pengcheng County. This man is in his early forties and has a righteous face. Seeing Wu Bai leading the crowd to come, he strode forward and smiled loudly.
"I have heard the name of the tiger cub for a long time, and when I see it today, it is even more famous! Good demeanor of the general! The official Pengcheng Sasuke Zheng Sheng came to greet him. ”
Wu Baile stopped fighting his horse and jumped down. He also had a smile on his face and returned the salute with his fists.
"It turned out to be Lord Zheng in person, and Lord Lao Juncheng had been waiting for a long time, and Wu was honored!"
Although Wu Bai had never seen Zheng Sheng, he had already introduced it in his words just now. The so-called Sasuke is the self-name of the gunjo or Lingshi.
The county is the adjutant of the head of a county, and Ling Shi is the adjutant of the pastor of a state. It's also the position of an assistant to the leader.,So he calls himself Sasuke.。
As for how Jun Cheng claimed himself after meeting with Ling Shi, it was another matter. In front of the two, the county will add the word 'lower official' before claiming to be a prince. And Ling Shi, needless to say, is naturally called the official.
The Pengcheng County Guard had informed Zheng Sheng before, and for the young tiger general, he must be polite and not sloppy.
When he said this 'politeness', Zheng Sheng naturally understood the deep meaning. That is to treat the young tiger general with good students, and it is only limited to good students.
"Lord County Guard has prepared a banquet, and specially ordered Zheng to come to greet him, the general has been tired all the way, do you need to replace it with a frame?"
When Wu Bai heard this, there were two carriages stopping behind Zheng Sheng, and it seemed that one of them was prepared for himself.
However, he didn't plan to take it, as the so-called blackest person is an official, he has no intersection with the officials of Pengcheng County, and the ghost knows what attitude they have towards him.
Don't look at the carriage is just a simple change of transportation, it's too big. Right now, Wu Bai didn't dare to be on guard.
Civil officials ride in cars, and military generals straddle horses, this is the rule set by Emperor Zhenwu. Although after the return of the male lord to heaven, few people have studied this aspect in detail, but who can say for sure!
The impact of Emperor Wen's two throws on Wu Bai is not just as simple as carrying the pot. In this era of supremacy of monarchy, the will of the emperor often has an incredible effect.
Some people with shallow eyes will use Emperor Wen's every move as the basis for judgment. What Emperor Wen showed was, in their eyes, a signal of alienation from the Tiger Cub General.
What's more, it is not impossible to think about how to step on the young tiger general to enter the eyes of the emperor and get the favor of the imperial power.
Although this idea is a bit shady, maybe the officials of the Pengcheng County Guard Mansion just want to express goodwill, but Wu Bai has to guard against it.
Canglong City is centered on Jiuding's layout, and as the lord of Canglong, a slight carelessness may deviate the rhythm of the layout.
"Lord Juncheng understands, Wu is terrified! Thank you again for your kindness, but Wu is used to being rude, and he is used to riding horses and dust, so he can't stay in the car. Ha ha! ”
Wu Bai pointed to the armor on his body and smiled politely as he declined Zheng Sheng's proposal.
Hearing Wu Bai's joking answer, Zheng Sheng lost his mind a little at that moment, but it was only a momentary thing, and people didn't notice it.
He laughed without a trace to hide his gaffe, and there was even a look of appreciation in his eyes.
"Haha, where is the general! If Wu Zizhan, who sings poetry in the world, is a rude person, then do I still have a gentleman? ”
At this point, he paused, then retracted his smile. With a serious look on Wu Bai, he continued:
"It's that I, Peng Cheng, didn't think it through, the civil officials took the car, the military generals straddled the horses, I didn't expect the general to still insist on the words of the founding emperor, the Wu family's generals, worthy of loyalty!"
I don't know if Zheng Sheng's words are true or false, but his posture is really worthy of an old fox rolling in the officialdom.
"Lord Juncheng is serious, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, and everything has to look forward. Say a big disrespectful word, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is the right thing to adapt to the current situation! ”
After more than a year of struggle, Wu Bai is no longer the ignorant and ignorant of officialdom.
To deal with an old fox like Zheng Sheng, he can still have a good time. What he said was neither light nor heavy, it seemed to be far and near, and it was quite Tai Chi true meaning.
Hearing Wu Bai's words, Zheng Sheng looked at him deeply, secretly surprised in his heart. This young man is not to be taken lightly!
After the two exchanged courtesies, Zheng Sheng rode in a carriage, and Wu Bai remounted on the war horse and headed towards the Pengcheng County Guard's Mansion together.
When he arrived in Pengcheng, Zheng Sheng brought Wu Bai and his party to the pavilion, and after Wu Bai washed off his dust, he rushed to the county guard mansion for a banquet.
Yu Qiu, the county guard of Pengcheng County, is a son of the Yu family of the imperial capital, and can be said to be the queen of the famous family.
This person is the same age as Su Tong, and he repeatedly mentioned Su Tong during the banquet, and it seems that the two have a good relationship.
After a banquet, Wu Bai noticed that Yu Qiu, the guard of Pengcheng County, seemed to be a little too approachable.
And this kind of approachable feeling is always a little weird, when Wu Bai mentions the matter of grain and grass, he always changes the topic without a trace.
After several temptations, Wu Bai understood one thing. This Yu Qiu was obviously unwilling to let himself smoothly collect grain and grass.
This coincides with Canglong's layout, and Wu Bai originally planned to stay in Pengcheng County for more time. Originally, I was still thinking about what to do, but I didn't expect Yu Qiu to send it to the door to help.
However, Yu Qiu's original intention must not be the same as Wu Bai's, so Wu Bai can't easily expose his plans.
During the banquet, Wu Bai repeatedly mentioned the matter of grain and grass, and after being changed by Yu Qiu, he appropriately showed a displeased expression.
After the dismissal, Wu Bai returned to the pavilion and carefully reviewed the attitude of the Pengcheng County Guard, speculating that Yu Qiu's attitude may have been instructed by the imperial capital. In order to drag this unstable factor in Pengcheng County in the competition for Jiuding.
It is related to Jiuding's inheritance treasures, and the people who Emperor Wen can't use with confidence are unstable factors.
This has nothing to do with official appointments or personal senses. Even if it was Su Tong, if he wasn't the first to discover Jiuding, Emperor Wen might not let him know about it.
