Chapter 599: Smoke Rises, Singing and Dancing Sickness
There are thirteen political departments in the world, and Jinyi Wei also has a guard in each of these thirteen political departments, and thousands of households are in charge of investigating matters in one place. As for all kinds of other hundreds of households and even commanders with the title of brocade guards, they are often like Qian Ning at the beginning, who only receive one salary, without any real power. Although this Yulin is the seat of Yansui Town, it is not Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi's political division, and there are only a hundred households in charge here, but there are no 100 people below, and a total of more than a dozen people listen to orders.
Now in the capital, there is an east factory, a west factory and an inner factory, and the reputation of Jinyi Weizhi children's night crying is already in the past!
At this time, Baihu Ye Quan was listlessly playing leaf cards with a few subordinates, and when he dropped a card casually, one of the general flags suddenly brightened his eyes, and he pushed the cards in front of him with a smile and said: "Boss, thanks to your good card, I am done!" ”
As soon as they heard this, the other two immediately cursed, while Ye Quan stared at each other's good deck of cards for a long time, scolded in his mouth, and then leaned lazily on the back of the chair. As confidants, the three of them all knew that the boss was trying his best to transfer to Xi'an Mansion, but he had never succeeded, and the general banner of the Hu Pai just now persuaded: "Boss, I heard that the Pingbei uncle sent by the imperial court to patrol the border has just arrived in our Yansui Town. This is the number one celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, instead of working hard in Xi'an, why don't you work him? ”
"How many people are in front of that one, and you don't see how many officers are surrounding the door of the General Soldier's Mansion and want to hand over the notebook to meet you?" Ye Quan shook his head angrily, and then said with interest, "Besides, my family knows about my own family affairs, and you all know how many catties I have." When people are young and ambitious, they want people who have the ability. I just wanted to go back to Xi'an Mansion to mix up the pension and vacate the seat for Qi Laosan to go up. Go to the General Soldier's Mansion to join in the fun. There's no reason for those people to continue to make fun of us Jinyiwei! ”
"Alas. I heard that even our Lord Ye is not very proud in the capital, and it is far inferior to the momentum of the East Factory and the West Factory. Qi Laosan, who Ye Quan was willing to take over, also sighed, "Boss, I heard that you are still a relative of Lord Ye's own sect." Why didn't you think about taking that road back to the capital in the first place? ”
"Who is Lord Ye, don't you know? Not to mention that he is already the same clan that has come out of the five suits, he is a brother-in-law. He still doesn't let people get involved in the North Town Fusi, what am I! Ye Quan casually pushed the pile of stinky cards in front of him, and then stood up and stretched his waist. All in all. Jin Yiwei is well-known in other places, and he is an officer in Yansui Town, who is older than me! Rather than this, Jinyiwei might as well withdraw the branch office in Yansui Town, just save two dollars! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the other three people had different faces when he turned his back to the door. Suddenly, a spiriter turned around, only to find a strange young man standing in the doorway. And the captain who was sent to guard him outside had his head hanging low, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye at all. At this moment. He thought that what the four of them had just said might have been heard, and he only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and it took him a long time to take two steps forward, and after arching his hand, he asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask ...... is the honorable driver."
"It seems that this branch of Jinyi Wei in Yulin is quite leisurely."
When Cao Qian and Wang Jingluo took more than a dozen people out of the Great Wall from Yansui Town, Yang Yiqing discussed the transfer of troops with Zhang An, the chief military officer of Yansui Town, but Xu Xun came to Jinyiwei's branch in Yulin with a light car. He only glanced at Ye Quan, then moved his gaze to the other three. Glancing at the deck of leaf cards on the table again, he asked Ye Quan lightly: "I just listened to the tone of a few of you, is you the one talking here?" ”
"It's a lowly position." Ye Quan had already tasted the taste at this time, knowing that the identity of the person who came was extraordinary, and he was more careful when he spoke, "What does this adult command?" Xu Xun saw that there were no other chairs around, so he simply sat down on Ye Quan's stool just now. At this time, the other three people suddenly woke up and hurriedly stood up one by one. And he pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it on the table: "Look at this." ”
Although he didn't know who the other party was until now, Ye Quan still carefully stretched out a hand and picked up the neatly folded piece of paper, and after taking a deep breath, he unfolded it. However, before he could see the content, the copper seal of the Beizhen Fusi on that side suddenly made his scalp tingle.
Everyone knows that although it is Li Yifeng who is now in charge of the Fusi of Bei Town, he will not cross Ye Guang to call the shots in everything. What's more, under the copper seal of this square, there is also the leaf word of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing!
So, he didn't even look at the content above, and returned the piece of paper straightforwardly, and bowed down again: "See the inferior position!" ”
Ye Quan, the leader, knelt down, the other three who had just played cards, or the sergeant at the door, all knelt down in a hurry. At this time, Xu Xun asked bluntly: "Who of you knows the situation of the Jinyi Wei Branch in Ningxia Town?" ”
This nobleman who didn't know the root of the matter actually asked about Ningxia Town at the Jinyi Wei Branch of Yansui Town, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other for a while. However, sensing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little stiff, Ye Quan hurriedly raised his head and said: "Back to the top of the house, there are fewer people in the Jinyi Wei Branch of Ningxia Town than we have here, a total of less than ten people, hundreds of households died of illness and death years ago, and no one has replaced the hundred households so far." There are a lot of clan vassal kings over there, and the officers of the General Military Mansion and Ningxia Town have always been rebellious, and life has always been very difficult. ”
I didn't expect Jinyiwei, who has always been famous, to be so uneatable in a border town like Yansui Town and Ningxia Town!
Xu Xun's face suddenly became gloomy. He established the Military Intelligence Bureau, aiming at military intelligence rather than investigating officials and civilians, and the original intention was that he still had Jinyiwei and Xichang in his hands to use, so there was no need to waste resources repeatedly, but he didn't expect that it would be useless at the critical moment.
His face was gloomy, but Ye Quan was even more trembling, hesitated for a while and then said stubbornly: "Qi Yu is poor, when Wang Yue Wang was in charge of Shaanxi, he used the captains in our branch and some veterans in the guard to cut off the prisoners' detectives, and intercept their baggage and so on. Later, when the general system of Wang was bad, because the predecessor of the lowly post and several subordinates were worried about being involved for him at that time, they provided many evidence of the crime of the general system of Wang to the inspector of the imperial history and the Taoist officials, and for a time also affected many officers of the guard. So Yansui Town is good, Ningxia Town is good. Our Jinyiwei has never been welcomed. ”
There is such a festival!
Xu Xun took a deep breath. Then he asked in a deep voice: "General Wang has been dead for many years, and now the three towns of Shaanxi are still hostile to Jinyiwei?" ”
"Yes......" Speaking of this, Ye Quan only felt a little unspeakable, but he thought that what this noble man wanted to do could not be done. When the time came, he was angry with himself, and he simply said. "To say that when Mr. Wang was in Shaanxi, he won a lot of battles, and he used talents in an eclectic manner. but he who is to be appreciated by him. There are those who have been directly promoted from a sergeant to a thousand households, and they have spared no effort when they ask the court for merit after the battle. Now many hundreds of households in the General Military Mansion of the Three Towns are all under his command. Since he left, the military discipline in the army has been corrupted, and he has been lazy in his training...... And those officers because he promoted them. After that, the road to promotion was not smooth, so many people hated our Jinyiwei at the same time. They were also quite dissatisfied with the imperial court. ”
I really don't know if I don't come, I'm scared when I come!
Xu Xun sighed in his heart, and then remembered that several people had been kneeling on the ground for a while, and then he said, "Get up and talk!" With such a sentence, Ye Quanfang felt a little relieved, and after thanking him, he helped his somewhat stiff knees and got up. Glancing at Xu Xun, he lowered his head again and said respectfully: "If there is anything wrong with the mission, just give me the command." Although there are few people under the command of the lowly position, they must do their best. ”
Xu Xun was about to speak, when he heard a sound outside, followed by a guard soldier who walked into the room quickly, bowed his head according to the handle of the knife and said loudly: "My lord, someone from the General Soldier's Mansion is here, Governor Yang asks you to go back immediately!" ”
As soon as he heard that it was Yang Yiqing who asked him to invite, Xu Xun knew that there must be something important, so he put away the piece of paper he had asked Ye Guang for before leaving Beijing and walked out. When he came to the door, he stopped, and said without looking back: "Go back and gather these subordinates, and then you will come to the General Soldier's Mansion by yourself, I have something important to tell you!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Quan agreed repeatedly, and seeing that Xu Xun was about to step out of the door, he suddenly thought of the most important section, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the superiors, what should I say if I go to the General Military Mansion?" ”
"Let's just say that Pingbei Bo Xu Xun asked you to come!"
It wasn't until the group had already left the house that Ye Quanfang woke up like a dream. Seeing that several other subordinates were looking at him, he slapped his face twice and asked with some uncertainty: "Just now he claimed to be ...... Is it Pingbei Bo Xu Xun? ”
"Boss, you heard me right, I heard it too!"
"I heard ...... too"
"God, I originally heard that this master was young, who knew that he could be so young!"
No matter how young he is, even if he is a nouveau riche in other people's mouths, but that identity is very different, when Ye Quan answered just now, he only felt that his legs and stomach were a little cramped, and when he understood the identity of the other party, he was relieved. However, thinking that Xu Xun was not Jinyiwei's boss, but he confided so many terrible words, he couldn't help but feel a little worried again.
And when Xu Xun hurried all the way back to the General Soldier's Mansion, he had been thinking about what Ye Quan said.
The three towns of Shaanxi have always been the hardest hit areas of the captives, and there are almost big and small battles every year. And because the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties have set the national capital in this vicinity, countless felling has already turned this former fertile soil into today's Loess Plateau, the land is barren and not suitable for farming, and the manpower and material resources required to transfer Shaanxi's grain every year are an extremely huge number. The more places like this, the more you need a person with good skills and outstanding ability to lead the overall situation, and it is no wonder that those sergeants miss Wang Yue.
Although Yang Yiqing is talented, he is also known for leading the Datong army to aid him and Shenying in the war, and then fought a big victory, but in the final analysis, the number of people who have been promoted because of him is limited, far inferior to the people promoted by Wang Yue Jingluo in Shaanxi in those years. Moreover, to put it mildly, the army has always emphasized appearance, Wang Yue looks wonderful, and Yang Yiqing is a temple person, Wang Yue promotes talents to attract heroes, spends money like flowing water, and is generous and bold, from this point of view, Yang Yiqing, who is calm and wise but not public, can not do that after all.
The group dismounted in front of the General Soldier's Mansion, and someone was already waiting there, and led Xu Xun straight out of the council hall. Because Xu Xun has the name of Qincha, he and Yang Yiqing sat on the side of the chief soldier Zhang An. With the sound of the drums, two groups of officers of different ages with solemn faces entered the room in an orderly manner, and immediately performed the court salute.
"Jing Yuwei is in a hurry. Tens of thousands of prisoners have come to attack, and now the news in the Guyuan area has been isolated! ”
As soon as this remark came out. Xu Xun can see it clearly. Many officers below were relieved. After all, Jing Yuwei was further west, far away from Yansui Town, and if the prisoners attacked. One is that it may be committed to Guyuan, and the other is that it may be committed to Lintaofu. But it has nothing to do with Yansui Town. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a general to stand up. …,
"Total Rong. Jing Yuwei was in a hurry. There is a possibility that many captives will commit Guyuan, so you can urgently tell Guyuan to prepare as soon as possible! ”
"If it's really tens of thousands of riders, it's too late to get them ready at this time!" Although Yang Yiqing has been in Shaanxi for many years, he was only supervising Ma Zheng before, and he was not subordinate to these officers, so he saw them so lazy at this moment. couldn't help but Huo Ran stood up, "Mr. Zhang." With more than 1,000 light riders with me, I'm going to Qingyang Mansion! ”
As soon as these words came out, none of the officers below stood up to oppose it, Zhang An looked at this and that, and finally nodded and said: "In this case, I will transfer 1,200 people to Governor Yang." ”
Xu Xun could see that most of the officers below did not agree with Yang Yiqing's proposal, but looked at him more eagerly. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "General Zhang, since Governor Yang is going to Qingyang Mansion to supervise the battle, it is not appropriate for me to stay in Yansui Town for longer. Now that the war has begun, the armament of the forts along the Great Wall is even more urgent, and I am going to leave immediately. ”
Cao Xiong, Qiu Yue and others, whom Yang Yiqing had previously recommended, had been stuck in the DPRK for a long time, and the officers below knew that the general system's vision was too high, and it was difficult to impress him, and he was a little out of touch with the eunuchs in the DPRK, so he had already put his hopes on Xu Xun's head, but he didn't want not only Yang Yiqing to leave in a hurry, but Xu Xun refused to stay in Yansui, the safest, when the army was in chaos. Even the chief soldier Zhang An was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Pingbei Bo, since the captives can break through the Jingyu guards, they can naturally attack the rest of the forts, if Pingbei Bo wants to go on the road, it is better for me to dispatch 1,800 people......"
"Now that the movements of the captives have not yet been ascertained, when Yansui Town is using troops, there is no need to spend too much manpower on me. In this way, since Mr. Zhang is kind, please ride a hundred people with me, after all, in the previous battle of Shenmu Fort, more than a dozen people were killed in the battle, and dozens of people were seriously injured and lightly injured, and now they are staying in Shenmu Fort to recuperate. ”
The officers who were originally eager to try heard that Xu Xun only needed to ride a hundred people, and they all immediately wilted. They are all guerrilla generals, so they can't volunteer to lead a hundred cavalry escorts, right? At this moment, no one noticed that Jiang Bin, who was like a guard behind Xu Xun, was actually a person of the same grade as them.
Yang Yiqing has always been resolute, and after settling the matter with Zhang An, he ordered his entourage to go back to the room to pack up, but he walked out of the conference hall side by side with Xu Xun. Speaking of the prisoner Guyuan, his face lost his previous eagerness, and he just whispered: "If what I expected is correct, the so-called tens of thousands of horsemen are just a bluff, if there are really so many soldiers and horses, no matter where they destroy the wall and enter, it is better than taking the Jingyu guard." He also asked Shizhen to rush to Ningxia Town immediately, where the king of Anhua was unstable, and if there was a war, it would be the most worrying. However, Guyuan still has Cao Xiong, a veteran, and he can deal with one or two in case of change. ”
Xu Xun stretched out his hand and shook Yang Yiqing heavily, and then smiled: "Wait until this group of Tartars is driven out, and then talk about other things!" By the way, you take Xia Yan with you, that kid is a scholar, let him learn from you, don't talk about everything! ”
"Good!"
When Yang Yiqing packed up his bags and set off with his troops and horses at the preparation point for the school field in Yansui Town, Ye Quan also gathered the twelve poor people under his command, including a total of thirteen people, and let everyone wait in the humble branch, and he changed his outfit and rushed to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion. He had never been able to set foot in this place before, but after reporting Xu Xun's name this time, the guards guarding the door looked at him suspiciously for a while, and finally hurried in to report it, and after a while, he changed his face to a slightly more polite face.
"Pingbei Boxuan, you go in!"
followed all the way into the room, and when he arrived at a small courtyard, he saw that the people inside were already dressed in military uniforms, and they were packing up something in and out. Seeing that Xu Xun also came out of the main room in a military robe, he hurriedly walked up to meet him. ..., "See Ping Beibo." ”
"Get up and speak!"
Xu Xun gave a faint order, and casually said to Chen Xiong beside him: "General Chen, Zhang An will definitely choose the best elite to accompany him, don't worry about the quality of the soldiers, you just pay attention to the person who leads the troops." Don't be too utilitarian and single-minded. This road is no better than the previous one, in case of an attack by an army of captives. That's not just a joke. ”
Seeing that Jiang Bin was said this, his face turned blue and white for a while. Xu Xun didn't pay attention to him, then he looked at Ye Quan and said, "Have you ever been to Ningxia Town?" ”
"Yes, I've been there." Before Xu Xun asked Ningxia Town, Ye Quan knew that Xu Xun was probably going over there next. Hurriedly nodded emphatically and said, "I grew up in Ningxia Town since I was a child. I am very familiar with the top and bottom. ”
"Okay, order all the people under you, and go to Ningxia Town with me!"
From Yansui Town to Ningxia Town. All along the side of the side wall. Although it is not difficult to walk, it is naturally incomparable with the official road of the post road. Taking advantage of the fact that the military situation has informed the forts of their war readiness, Xu Xun also checked the past one by one along the road, and the journey of 100 miles took the group ten days, and when they arrived in Ningxia Town on this day. The group was all dusty. However, the group reached the gate of the city. An hour earlier, Cao Mi, who had replaced his brother who had gone to the Hetao sentinel this time, was waiting there with a grim face.
"What's going on?"
Xu Xun didn't care if anyone greeted this kind of indifferent thing, but he knew what kind of character Cao Mi was, and he definitely wouldn't look like this because he had been wronged, so he naturally brought out a bit of sonorous sound when he spoke.
When have Lao Tzu's people been bullied?
"My lord, I went straight to the General Military Mansion in Ningxia Town, but I heard that today is the thirty-third birthday of King Qing, so I invited the officers and officials to the Qingwang Mansion for a banquet, so I hurried over, who knew that I was stopped in the Qingwang Mansion, even if it was an urgent military situation, I was not allowed to report!" Speaking of this, Cao Mi's handsome face revealed a trace of annoyance that could not be concealed, "Later, when King Anhua arrived, I wanted to ask him to report Jiang Han, the chief soldier of Ningxia Town, who knew that he was actually ......"
Seeing that Cao Mi gritted his teeth and couldn't say it anymore, Xu Xun frowned, knowing that Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, must not be an ordinary push, but he was afraid that it would be even more out of line. Coldly looked at the gate of the city and found their group, panicked and set up the guards who were about to come up for interrogation after rejecting the horse, so he jumped off the horse and took out the sword of the Son of Heaven that had never been used on the way, which had never been used on the way, and the gold medal order arrow was to be provided in the car, but it was not easy to take it out at this time.
"Where are you in the army, don't you know why you can't gather at the gate of the city for no reason?"
Xu Xun was about to order someone to step forward, when suddenly a rider stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Qin Chaping Beibo, I am ordered to patrol the northwest borders!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion at the city gate. The sergeant who had just run forward was stunned, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. I don't know how long it took before a man who looked like an officer ran over in a panic.
"Humble ...... Humble Zhao Fang...... Ginseng...... See Pingbeibo! ”
There were three pauses in this short sentence, and before he bowed, he raised his head and cautiously glanced at the extremely luxurious sword inlaid with gold and jade in Xu Xun's hand, although he was not sure whether it was the legendary Shang Fang sword in the novel, but he still knelt down without hesitation. After a while, a cold voice came from above.
"Lead the way, go to the Ningxia Town General Soldier's Mansion!"
It is the birthday of King Qing, but there are only three or two kittens and puppies left in the General Military Mansion of Ningxia Town - not because it is necessary for the upper and lower people to tie up the King of Qing who is now only the name of the prince, but Ningxia Town is located on the border, and the singing and dancing queen of the Qingwang Mansion has always been a must, plus it is said that this wine and food are rare, and King Qing has never paid attention to the number of birthday gifts, and everyone is naturally indispensable to join in the fun, who knows that Kankan will encounter this kind of thing. Therefore, after Xu Xun entered the General Soldier's Mansion, he retreated from the crowd in the small flower hall and asked Cao Mi, and learned that King Anhua actually made fun of which family raised the master by his side.
At this moment, after a burst of heavy footsteps outside, a big man stepped in quickly. As soon as he saw Xu Xun, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Qiu Yue, the last general of Ningxia guerrilla general, didn't know that Qin Chaping Beibo had arrived, and he was unwelcome!" ”
