Since the group wedding, the interior of the Lingzhou camp has been very lively, and after the news spread, the area around Lingzhou for hundreds of miles has also become a little noisy, like a stone being thrown into the pond, splashing layers of ripples.
……
After the collapse of the self-strong Tang Dynasty, the land west of the river is not peaceful, for more than 100 years, the festival of all roads has made it like the marquee on the night of the Shangyuan Festival (1) to appear in turn, there are famous and powerful or can be more glorious for a few years, ambition and strength do not match is like the thatch in the wilderness, just sprouting just a moment was covered by the desert yellow dust without a trace.
Although there are many disputes within the party, Tuoba Li has always controlled the right to speak in the Dingyan army, and two years ago Li Ji moved to Lingzhou, and was killed by the Song people behind the noise of Ji Tubo Pan Luo, it was a turmoil.
After Li Jiqian's death, Lingzhou, where he settled, was abandoned into ruins because of his avoidance or belief in the ominous place, and before that, it was reduced to a place of refuge for the Uta tribe, where members were mixed.
Last year, Li Deming finally wiped out the Pan Luo branch, retook charge of the Dingyan army, and was named the king of Xiping for the two major kingdoms of Song and Liao in the east, but no one thought that it was just a seemingly ordinary cooperation to suppress the enemy, and Li Deming returned alone, and his department was captured by a team of descendants of the first dynasty who returned from the west.
What happened one after another was a jaw-dropping blow to all those who paid attention to the changes.
On the second day after arriving in Lingzhou, the powerful general wiped out thousands of people in the arrogant Uta Department unscathed! Everyone knows that although the Uta tribe is full of evil, they are not lambs to be slaughtered, but hungry wolves that can gallop across the grassland, but they are such a group of beasts, which have been wiped out by the backhand of the new outsiders!
As soon as the news spread, the tribes that originally wanted to find out about the newcomer all died down - not that they were too timid to act, but that the goal was clearly very strong, and no one wanted to be the first bird.
In the next two months, the land of Lingzhou was busy, and there was once a remnant tribe of the Shatuo people on the west bank of the river who wanted to get close to the test, and it turned out that even if Lingzhou, which was busy with the construction of the project, had never relaxed its patrol and vigilance for the surrounding hundred miles, as a result, they had to retreat in a hurry, and the depression in it could not be shared with outsiders.
The range of the detective rider walking in the Lingzhou camp is at least 100 miles, and this distance is so large that it even includes the city of Huizhou, will there be no opinion in Huizhou City?
Of course it can't be, it's just the first month, the city lord Wei Muyi led people to escort his son-in-law Li Deming back to Xiazhou, and Wei Mushanxi, who was told to stick to the city, didn't dare to act rashly. After Wei Mu Yihei returned from Xiazhou, the veteran who was shocked by the team sent by Luo to escort Li Deming dispelled his mind of plotting the camp in Lingzhou, dozens of miles to the north.
The mentality of the generals is so conservative, you can imagine how the people in Huizhou City look like in their hearts.
Of course, the veteran Wei Mu Yihei didn't want to sit still - an old guy like him knew better than anyone else the truth of the law of the jungle, in his opinion, his son-in-law had lost his mind, and sooner or later he would bow to the elder general of Lingzhou, and there was no change at the moment, but the elder was not ready to take over the entire Hexi.
He listened to a lot of words from his son-in-law Li Deming, as a person who knew a little about Luo Kaixian, he was convinced that a fierce man like Luo Kaixian who could lead the crowd to return to his homeland across thousands of miles was by no means easy to get along with.
In the eyes of the veteran Wei Mu, who has been fighting on war horses all his life, it seems that there is a lot of construction in Lingzhou at the moment, but in fact, it is just for recuperation, it is the tiger's lurking rest before predation, not what to unload his armor and return to the field, he does not believe that any leader will let tens of thousands of powerful soldiers become comfortable shepherds.
Therefore, the veteran's choice is very simple, even if one day he will not fight against the newcomer surnamed Luo, but will be attached to the other party as his son-in-law Li Deming thinks, he Wei Mu must have the subordinate soldiers under his control as the confidence to speak. Because, Wei Mu Yihei, who has held knives and guns all his life, knows better than anyone that only those who have knives, guns and armor have the strength to speak in these years.
After returning to Huizhou from Xiazhou, Lao Weimu did not make changes to the military discipline of his own city, and did not even prohibit the entry and exit of civilians and the movement of business travelers, but just imitated the army that Luo Kaixian was stationed in Xiazhou, and made some reorganizations to his own army, and also adjusted the training system.
It's just that the party and clan warriors under him have become accustomed to the loose military formation, and they are even more complaining about inexplicable changes, and they can't even do one exercise in seven days in a short period of time, let alone one exercise in two days or even one **** a day.
The veteran Wei Mu Yihei's idea is good, but an army without the stimulus of foreign references wants to change? It's really very difficult, and all he can do is take his time with a wooden stick and a leather whip.
In the midst of this slow change, the scouts of Lingzhou still passed around intermittently, news from the north began to slowly spread, and various rumors began to spread among the Han and Dangxiang people in the city of Huizhou, as well as among many different ethnic groups.
Fortunately, Luo didn't think about taking the initiative to attack Huizhou for the time being, and no one deliberately spread any gossip, and the news that was spread was mostly spread from the mouths of many small tribesmen, as well as what they saw and heard when they passed by the business travelers, these scattered news were pieced together, but they also had a good appearance and high credibility.
It is rumored that the team returning from the west is called the Eastbound Battalion, and the leader of the team is a big man who is nine feet tall and pulls thousands of pounds, and his subordinates are even more capable people, and it is said that there are also small giants who are as tall as two feet...... Among the several major families in the team, they are all from the legendary Tang Dynasty, and there are even descendants of the former royal family......
There are also rumors that the people who return to the west are all soldiers, and the huge horses they ride are said to be the heavenly horses west of Kunlun, which can carry people for thousands of miles......
There is also a ridiculous rumor that the people from the west have strange spells that can make hundreds of thousands of people not eat or drink without feeling tired, so they can pass through the hot Hanhai Shazhou in summer, so that they will not give up halfway due to hunger and thirst, and then go to Lingzhou, and use magic to restrict the movement of the Uta people, so thousands of people were slaughtered without any loss......
Because there is no official statement that can convince everyone, so the secular rumors have become divided, and all kinds of rumors are supported and trusted, although some rumors are absurd, but no one belittles the strength of the current team in Lingzhou, which is almost universally agreed.
It's just that...... Because the other party did not make any bad moves towards Huizhou, it has no personal stake in whether outsiders are strong or not, and this rumor is just an innocuous after-dinner pastime......
However, after building a temporary residence in the land of Lingzhou, they began to win over the surrounding small tribes, and built a field as a place to communicate with each other, and some small tribes with a sense of business took the exchanged wood-chopping axes, kitchen knives, pots, etc., and sold them to the city of Huizhou, and the situation began to be a little different - after those poor lower-class people heard that they could exchange their labor for food and even various things, many people began to have different ideas.
Some lazy and hard-working guys began to scavenge for all kinds of news, and then tried to sell these news to those past businessmen, they didn't dare to do anything directly to Lingzhou, but selling news was the way for these people to survive for many years; In addition, some people who lived in poverty for various reasons began to inquire about the attitude of Lingzhou towards outsiders, and if they could, they also hoped to be able to exchange some income for some income as those people from small tribes; In addition, there are some people who do not have a high status in the city, most of these people are of Han descent, they have some survival skills, but they are not valued by the rulers of the city, and they are also the most discerning guys, in order to find a better life, it is really normal to pay attention to Lingzhou.
It's just that the changes in Lingzhou are too rapid, and before a group of people with budding minds really start to act, a news that amazes everyone comes - the fierce commander will hold a collective wedding for more than 1,000 people under his command!
Weddings and funerals are just ordinary things, but it is not a simple matter to hold a wedding for more than 1,000 people. It not only means that a lot of financial resources will be consumed, but it also means that there is a complete system of etiquette and rules in that centaur!
If we talk about the former, many powerful local forces in Hexi have the same financial resources, but the latter? Forget it, the rulers of most forces are greedy and lustful, the so-called etiquette system is all forgotten, they can't wait to pull all the women who can have children into their own houses, and occasionally some rulers who can sympathize with their subordinates are just rewarding women who are tired of playing to their subordinates, as for weddings? No kidding, it's already good to reward you with a warm quilt alone, and you want to ask for anything else?
Xianbei, Uighur, Dangxiang, Khitan grassland tribes are barbaric, fist is the last word, many tribal leaders don't care about what their subordinates think, for them, warriors are consumables, women are also consumables, there is no more to grab and rob, occasionally enlightened people who know how to take care of their clan brothers, but they are just robbing women to advance their respective tents, as for weddings and other flowery things? Nobody cares.
In this context, the news of a group wedding of 1,000 people has made many things different.
Before the death of the Tang Dynasty, Hexi was already a place of chaos, and after the death of the Tang Dynasty, it was a hundred years of chaos, and after such a long period of chaos, who doesn't want to live a few days of peace and stability? Even those guys who have a little money and pulled more than 100,000 people to command one side, it is just for self-protection or speculation, do those guys who claim to be not afraid of the sky and the earth really like the days of licking blood every day?
Not necessarily, because in the confusion and confusion of people's hearts, even a strong bison must tie two sharp knives to his horns, otherwise it is not sure when it will be slaughtered and eaten.
To put it bluntly, it's just a sense of crisis.
Now, a new force, a powerful force, a well-behaved force, a force that is sympathetic to the soldiers and can even think about the reproduction of the blood of those under its command has appeared, and everything is immediately starting to look different.
