Chapter 16: Jindi Pass (2)
Three days later, Du Ruhui finally replied.
He will arrive in Gong County within 10 days. The reason why he never replied before was not because he was hesitating, but because he ...... Du Ruhui is not in office at all. Du Ruhui's father, Du Chi, was sick, and Du Ruhui stayed at home since the beginning of April to take care of him, so that when the letter from the Twelve Guards arrived in Chang'an County, no one received it.
By the time Chang'an County ordered the transfer letter to be sent to Du Ruhui's house, more than a month had passed. At this time, Li Yanqing's transfer letter sent again in the name of Heishi Mansion also reached Du Ruhui's hand at the same time. Du Ruhui only knew at this time that he had become Li Yanqing's subordinate.
Of course, Du Ruhui would not refuse Li Yanqing's invitation.
At this time, Du Chi's condition had improved, and Du Ruhui immediately replied to Li Yanqing and did not say to set off.
The next time, Su Yong and Huang Wenqing arrived in Gong County......
Su Yong is eight feet tall and burly.
White skin, with a beautiful beard, majestic appearance, gestures, faintly general's style. On the day he arrived in Gong County, Huang Wenqing stayed in the Li Mansion. And Su Yong hurried to the Heishi Ferry, not thinking that Li Yanqing was not in the house.
It turned out that after Yan Qing stabilized the situation of the military government, he immediately began to deploy defenses.
He and Mai Zizhong inspected the terrain and found that south of Heishidu, there was a place called Jiushan, which happened to be located between Heishidu and Biling. Li Yanqing believes that a village should be set up here, which can echo the Heishi Pass and can be more closely connected with the Keishan Mansion.
Keiyama Mansion is the southern barrier of Heishi Pass, but between the two prefectures, the area is too wide, and it will inevitably produce a huge hollow zone. If you set up a village in Jiushan, you can make up for the hollow between Heishi Pass and Keishan Mansion to a certain extent, and at the same time, you can also echo with Heishi Pass, form a corner, and defend each other. After Li Yanqing and Mai Zizhong discussed, it was decided that Mai Zizhong, with his headquarters, and Fei Qingnu would set up a camp in Jiushan and stationed in Jiushan. Mai Zizhong did not have any objection to this arrangement.
Whether it's Heishi Pass or Jiushan.
Mai Zizhong, as a deputy general, should obey Li Yanqing's arrangement.
What's more, setting up a village in Jiushan is also a good thing. The most important thing is that Mai Zizhong does not want to stay in Heishi Pass and clash with Yanqing.
By the time Li Yanqing returned from Jiushan, it was already late.
When he heard that Su Yong had arrived, he immediately summoned him to meet him.
However, Yan Qing found that Su Yong did not come alone. There was also a young man in his twenties who came to Blackstone Pass with him.
Medium stature, raw Kong Wu is powerful.
A pair of red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and a slightly pale blue complexion.
"This is the son of Wang County Ling of Wuyi County, Wang Fubao. When he was in Wuyi, he commanded Xiang Yong. Come with me this time, and ask Childe to take him in. ”
Su Yong pulled the young man and introduced him to Yanqing.
"Is Wang County's order good now?"
Regarding the Wang County Order of Wuyi County, Li Yanqing was not too impressed.
At that time, he had torn his face with the Zheng family, and when he passed through Wuyi, he did not have a positive contact with Wang Xianling.
However, from Huang Wenqing's words, Yanqing knew that the Wang County Order was not bad.
Wang Fubao's eyes were red and he lowered his head.
Su Yong sighed, "Last year, the Qinghe bandit Zhang Jin claimed to have committed a crime, and when Wang Xianling was commanding the battle at the head of the city, he was shot by a stray arrow and died at the beginning of the year. ”
"Ahh When Yan Qing heard this, he quickly got up and apologized.
Wang Fubao cried on the ground: "Wen Gongzi is noble, and Fubao is like-minded." I only hope that one day, the son can be the master of his father and kill the thief. ”
Yan Qing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wang Fubao up.
"Although the government and Wang Xianling have not had a deep relationship, they have always admired the character of the prince.
Now I heard that the prince had suffered misfortune, and my heart was really painful. Brother Wang should not worry, but there is a saying that the government will definitely take revenge on the prince and will never regret it. ”
Wang Fubao, only then did he stop crying.
Su Yong said: "Fu Bao is strong in martial arts, and he is brave enough to champion the three armies. When Sun Anzu invaded the border, he once rode alone into the bandit group and killed the three bandits. In Wuyi, people gave him the nickname: Dadao General. After the death of the prince, he had no relatives in Wuyi, so Su Yong had the courage to lead him to defect. ”
Li Yanqing nodded in praise and glanced at Wang Fubao twice.
Although he has not fought with him, Li Yanqing can also see that this person is good. Perhaps it is slightly insufficient compared to the majestic sea Kan Ling. But among the generals under the command of Li Fu, this person can definitely be ranked third, even more clever than Su Lie.
"I still need a deputy general by my side today, I don't know if Brother Wang is willing to take on it?"
Although Wang Fubao said that he was the commander of the country, to put it bluntly, he was still a white body. If he enters the military government, he can only start as an ordinary soldier, and at most he will be assigned a position as a team leader. But listening to Su Yong's introduction, Yan Qing felt that a team was positive, and I was afraid that it was a little light. But if you want to be assigned a higher position, you must report to the health office. However, in terms of Wang Fubao's background and qualifications, the Wei Mansion categorically would not pass. Rather than this, it would be more appropriate to keep him by his side, assist Su Lie, and lead the Qilin Guard.
After all, Qilinwei is Li Yanqing's personal soldier and does not require any formalities.
In addition, after Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling became captains, Yan Qing also needed two masters by his side. The arrival of Wang Fubao can undoubtedly make up for the loss of the vast sea and Kan Leng. For Wang Fubao, it is not a slack to be able to serve as Li Yanqing's personal commander of the army.
He knows his situation: in the case of no background and no fame, it is definitely impossible to reach the sky in one step.
As Li Yanqing's personal soldier, although it is not a formal military position, he can get close to Li Yanqing and become a confidant. As long as you can do your best, you will eventually have a chance to soar.
Wang Fubao has heard of it: the majestic sea and Kan Leng, his background is not even comparable to him.
However, he will not despise Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling because of this. Those two people were born and died with Li Yanqing, and they were definitely not something he could replace.
"Fu Bao is willing to serve the dogs and horses."
"That's very good...... Dingfang, you take him down, and get the horses, weapons, and equipment. ”
Su Dingfang and Wang Fubao also knew each other.
In terms of age, Wang Fubao is a few years older than Su Dingfang, and the relationship between the two has not been too bad. Now that he can have a childhood friend coming, how can Su Dingfang not be happy?
hurriedly agreed, and left the military tent with Wang Fubao.
Then, Li Yanqing explained the situation in the Black Stone Mansion to Su Yong again.
"General Mai Lang is now leading his troops and horses out of the town of Jiushanzhai, so he is not in the camp.
Later, when he returns, I'll introduce you. Today, there are three regiments of soldiers and horses in the Black Stone Mansion, with a total of 1,300 people. There are 500 elite soldiers in Jiushanzhai, and 800 soldiers are left in Heishidu. The lieutenants of the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment used to be my personal companions, and I was born and died in Goguryeo. However, the two of them are good at capturing the flag and fighting on the battlefield, but it is far from enough to train people and horses and rectify military discipline.
As for myself, I am also entangled in all kinds of things, so I train people and horses, arrange patrols and other affairs, and you will arrange it by Su Bing Cao.
If anyone who dares to violate military discipline in the army, he can be dealt with according to military regulations. In short, please take care of the military affairs of this Black Stone Mansion. ”
Su Yong hurriedly politely, but secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He is also a person who has never met talents, although he is the county leader in Wuyi County, but his subordinates are all ordinary people, how can he compare to the soldiers of the Twelve Guards?
Now that he can come to Blackstone Mansion, Su Yong can be regarded as a place to display his talents.
Li Yanqing gave him enough respect and power, presumably in the Black Stone Mansion, he would not be too depressed.
"The last general will do his best to serve the king."
Li Yanqing smiled, changed his words, and asked: "Su Bingcao, according to the itinerary, you came from Wuyi, and you should have arrived a few days ago, why did you only arrive today?" ”
Su Yong said: "The non-end general doesn't want to report early, it's really difficult to travel.
Now the current situation in Hebei has been eroded. The East China Sea Gong Gao Shida was arrogant, and in broad daylight, he openly plundered the counties. In the end, I had to take a detour, so there was some delay on the way. Originally, I thought that after crossing the river, I would be able to arrive in Gongxian County soon, and I didn't want to pass through the Tiger Prison Pass. The Tiger Prison Pass was temporarily closed, and the last general was trapped in the Tiger Prison for two days, and it was only yesterday that the customs were cleared and rushed to Gong County...... Fujun, under the rule of Xingyang, the arrogance of the Wagang thieves seems to be very arrogant......"
Li Yanqing nodded, acquiescing to Su Yong's explanation.
"In Xingyang, we have our own county guards, so we don't need to worry about it.
Su Bingcao only needs to train my soldiers and horses into a division of tigers and wolves, and there is no need to worry about anything else. At least, Gong County is peaceful for now. ”
"The last general will live up to the high expectations of the king."
Yan Qing and Su Yong talked a few more words, and ordered Ma Zhou to take Su Yong down to receive the armor and equipment.
He walked over to the map hanging in the center of the tent and stood silently. Judging from the various signs that Su Yong just said, Wagangzhai seems to be the same as before, still robbing in the wilderness and doing the work of rogues. However, the number of times they invaded the border became more and more frequent, and each time they violated the border, more and more people also ...... According to the battle report passed from the Tiger Prison Pass this morning, every time Wagangzhai invades the border, the minimum is seven or eight thousand, and the most is more than 10,000. In just over 20 days, the accomplices have committed seventeen times, and almost every day, they will loot and loot in Xingyang.
Li Yanqing felt that such frequent troop dispatches were very abnormal.
Judging from the total number of troops sent by Wagangzhai, nearly 150,000 horses and horses...... With such a force, it can already pose a huge threat to the town.
Well, even if there are no 150,000 horses, but a rough estimate is that there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 people dispatched in Wagangzhai.
Such a large-scale use of troops, just to plunder caravans and rob villages?
It's inevitable to kill chickens and knives, and it's too exciting. Therefore, Yan Qing had to be more careful, and even had some doubts about the purpose of Wagangzhai.
If the thieves weren't there to plunder, then for what?
"Fu Jun, Su Bingcao has settled down, I don't know what else to order?"
Ma Zhou quietly came to the door of the big tent and asked softly.
Li Yanqing paused for a moment, then turned to Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, immediately send me all the battle reports of the invasion of Wagangzhai in the past month." ”
"All?"
"Yes, all."
Ma Zhou agreed, turned around and left.
After a while, he walked into the big tent with a thick stack of war reports and placed them on top of the bookcase.
"Ma Zhou, you come to read the battle report...... Remember, the location of the Wagangzhai offense, as well as the route of their movements, must be accurately reported. ”
Li Yanqing took out a map of Xingyang from the case and laid it on the ground.
Ma Zhou began to read the battle report, and Li Yanqing picked up a hard pen and kept drawing in circles on the map. By the time nearly twenty battle reports were read, the map had been drawn in a mess. Ma Zhou leaned over suspiciously, looking at the circles and straight lines above, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Fujun, what are you doing here?"
Li Yanqing didn't answer, squinting his eyes and staring at the circles on the gaze.
"Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong!" After a while, he whispered softly, "Zhai Rang must not be able to think of such a clever plan, this must be Li Mi's plan." ”
He made a few strokes with a hard pen, and his face became extremely ugly.
"Jindi Pass...... Li Mimo is not, he wants to capture Jindi Pass? ”
