Chapter 172: Nan Jiyun
Lei Wanchun stood on the side with a calm expression and looked at his three sons and Kong Sheng greeting him warmly, with a slightly strange expression. Unlike Zhang Xun, he left a very deep and very good impression on Kong Sheng, and the fact that a person of Kong Sheng's status can be willing to worship his son as a brother actually shows a lot of problems in itself.
Lei Wanchun coughed twice and waved his hand to the car. The three of them quietly retreated, and Thunder Jin winked at Kong Sheng, signaling him to go over and meet him after he was settled.
Kong Sheng smiled, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Second brother, please go out of the city and inform the eldest brother Changfeng and let him and Senior Sister Nie come into the city." As for the two of them, you should take the army and set up camp outside the city for the time being. ”
Lei Wanchun let out a sigh, stared at Kong Sheng deeply, and turned to leave.
Kong Sheng's expression remained unchanged, he waved his hand to Lei Tingjin, and continued to follow Lei Wanchun. Wu Xian Wujie followed Kong Sheng's order and turned around and went out of the city.
If he comes, he will be safe, but he wants to see how Zhang Xun will settle himself. He has broken through the Longtan Tiger's Den, which is more dangerous than here, not to mention Suiyang City under the rule of the imperial court. As long as Zhang Xun and the others still obey the imperial court etiquette, Kong Sheng doesn't think he can do anything to himself.
is also an official of the imperial court, Zhang Xun is just a higher grade. Strictly speaking, Zhang Xun is not Kong Sheng's real official, he is the imperial history Zhongcheng temporarily canonized by the imperial court, temporarily stationed in Suiyang, commanding the battle against the rebels. Suiyang is too guarded by Xu Yuan, and he is Kong Sheng, the top boss of Songcheng County.
Lei Wanchun was speechless all the way, walked to the door of a small mansion not far from the Taishou Mansion and stopped, turned around and smiled: "Kong County Order." This mansion was originally the residence of a merchant in Suiyang. This person's family fled Suiyang and disappeared. And the house was empty. According to Zhang Zhongcheng's arrangement, you can settle down here for the time being. ”
Kong Sheng snorted: "Uncle Lei, it doesn't matter where Kong lives, Kong doesn't pay attention to it, as long as there is a place to stay." It's just that there are more than 100 guards under Kong's command, and I don't know how to place them? ”
Kong Sheng is testing Lei Wanchun.
Lei Wanchun took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Kong County Order, Lei's position is humble. I only know how to act according to the military orders of Lord Zhongcheng, and as for how to settle those people of yours, you still have to listen to Lord Zhongcheng's arrangement. ”
Kong Sheng sighed, but his heart moved: this person has a reckless and majestic face, and he is a military general, but he doesn't think that he is also a rough and careful person, and his words are not leaky, and if he wants to listen to the truth from him, I am afraid that it will not be easy to do.
The water in Suiyang was very deep, and he jumped in with his head bored. Looks like one is going to drown if he's not careful.
Kong Sheng floated into the mansion alone.
Lei Wanchun stared deeply at Kong Sheng's back, his eyes flickering slightly. Immediately. He strode back to the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion.
In the lobby of the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Xun did not retreat, and was talking to the generals, when he saw Lei Wanchun coming in again, he said in a deep voice: "Wanchun, has the Kong County Order from the south of the Yangtze River been placed?" ”
Lei Wanchun clasped his fists and saluted: "In accordance with Lord Zhongcheng's order, the last general has already placed the Kong County Order properly." ”
Zhang Xun nodded slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Everyone, my generation fought hard to defend the city in Suiyang, in order to buy time for the imperial court to recover Guanluo, Henan. Although Suiyang still has no foreign aid, no matter what, it can be regarded as attracting the attention and attention of the imperial court. His Majesty appointed Kong Sheng to serve in Suiyang, and believed that reinforcements would arrive in the future. ”
A white-faced and beardless general was about the same age as Lei Wanchun, and he stood up proudly and said loudly: "Lord Zhongcheng, Xu Taishou, what Suiyang needs now is backup, grain, grass and baggage!" The war was imminent, and the imperial court sent a weak young man who was not as weak as the crown to serve as the commander of Songcheng County, which made a certain general very puzzled. ”
Zhang Xun was silent.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "General Nanba, what should the imperial court do, we don't dare to speak, discuss, or speculate." But since Suiyang is under the rule of the imperial court, His Majesty appointed people with lofty ideals as the commander of Songcheng County, and there must be good intentions to call on the world's scholars to go to the national disaster. In any case, the fact that this Kong County Commander was able to sacrifice his life and forget his death from the prosperous south of the Yangtze River to Suiyang to take up his post, at least shows that he is loyal and courageous, and he is like-minded with us. ”
Nan Jiyun let out a sigh of relief, clenched his fists and retreated, and said no more.
Zhang Xun turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuan, and said lightly: "Brother Ling Wei, the more than 100 Modao cavalry teams brought by Kong Sheng, in my opinion, should be mixed into the cavalry battalion of Nanba." Although the number of this cavalry is not large, it is the elite of the Jiangbei army, I don't know what you think? ”
Suiyang's current garrison is known as 10,000 people, but in fact, the real regular army is only seven or eight thousand people, all of whom are under Zhang Xun's absolute control. Zhang Xun disrupted the original establishment of the Tang army and reorganized it into infantry battalions, cavalry battalions and bow battalions. The infantry battalion was commanded by Lei Wanchun, the cavalry battalion was commanded by Nan Jiyun, and the bow battalion was directly under the command of Zhang Xun.
Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Because this group of people is the people under Kong Sheng's command, they are the henchmen of the people, and they should be under the command of Kong Sheng. Zhang Xun used the banner of unified dispatch of military and political integration, and took away Kong Sheng's independent command as the commander of Songcheng County, because he was in a hurry; But if Kong Sheng's people are served in a pot again, I am afraid that Kong Sheng's strong backlash will be stimulated.
But in the current Suiyang, Zhang Xun is the absolute uncrowned king, and he is the same. Xu Yuan understood that no matter whether Kong Sheng was willing or unwilling, he could not resist Zhang Xun's order. However, in Xu Yuan's view, no matter who commands the army, it is the power of the imperial court, and it is all fighting to defend Suiyang, and some personal interests should be abandoned.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan sighed lightly: "Zhongcheng, Suiyang's military and political affairs are dominated by you, and you are in command, in the eyes of this official, Kong Sheng should be a person who understands righteousness and will not ignore the overall situation." ”
Zhang Xun laughed and took the case: "Nanba, you go to inform Kong Sheng, just say that it is the military order of this official, let him go out of the city with you quickly, include the cavalry he brought into your cavalry battalion, and reorganize and prepare for war as soon as possible!" ”
Nan Jiyun looked overjoyed, and went out of the class to give a salute and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Nan Jiyun walked out of the lobby of the Taishou Mansion Yamen, hurriedly walked to Kong Sheng's residence. For Kong Sheng, a young county magistrate who suddenly came to Suiyang, he just felt a little abrupt and didn't understand the intentions of the imperial court, but as for Kong Sheng himself, he didn't have too deep personal likes and dislikes.
It's just that he has already looked at the military appearance of the cavalry team under Kong Sheng on the city gate tower, and at a glance he can see that it is the elite of the army of Li Juju, the king of Jiangbei, if he can get these more than 100 Mo knife teams to be incorporated into his cavalry battalion, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful.
Therefore, Nan Jiyun came in a hurry. As for whether Kong Sheng would agree, he didn't think much about it at all. In this Suiyang City, Zhang Xun's words are the holy decree, Zhang Xun issued a military order in line with the public heart, Kong Sheng, as a subordinate official, how could he disobey the order?
Kong Sheng was wandering around the mansion to check, and at the same time, he was anxiously waiting for the arrival of Mu Changfeng and Nie Chuchen. Alone in Suiyang City, he is not afraid of anything, but there is no individual around him to talk to him, and he has no bottom after all.
Nan Jiyun's sudden arrival made the ominous premonition in Kong Sheng's heart even stronger. (To be continued.) )
