Chapter Ninety-One: Finally Seeing the Hustle

Thank you for the tips from the happy bad guys.

……………………………………………………………………

The so-called vast land and sparsely populated southern border counties are just for the Chinese race. In fact, there are a lot of Yue people living in the mountains and woods in the land in the south, and they are almost like they have no concept of a country.

A large number of Yue people have formed hundreds or thousands of tribes, in fact, the external name of the Yue people is not recognized at all, they internally call the people who live in the forest Lin Yue, and the people who live in the mountains are called Shanyue.

Both sides have their own set of totems, for example, the Linyue tribe will choose patterns such as deer and snakes to tattoo on the body, and Shanyue will tattoo the sun and stars on the arm. The tattoos of both systems are very targeted, and almost every tribe has a grudge left over from their ancestors, and the vendetta between different tribes is unimaginably serious.

The continuous attacks seriously slowed down the journey of LΓΌ Zhe and the others, and on the sixty-fourth day after their departure from Xianyang, they finally arrived at Gangneung, the capital of Nanjun.

Jiangling is located on the bank of the Han River, and next to her there is a river that runs from Bajun to Changsha. In the southeast of Zhifu, there is a swamp with a range of dozens of miles, and I heard that there is a lake on the bank of Xiangshui, and its name is Dongting.

When he first arrived in Jiangling, Lu Zhe could not see the grandeur of a county capital, and at a glance it was a settlement with no city walls and almost no planning. It's hard to imagine that the place full of ~ urine traces is the capital of a county, and the buildings in the county are basically mud walls mixed with gravel, and the roofs of the houses are either weeds or spikes.

Perhaps the only commendable place is her well-developed water system, which makes the water flow in this county extremely distributed, but it is difficult to say the word "beautiful" in my heart when I see the occasional filth floating in it.

When Lu Zhe led the war horse to walk on the street, he could often see women washing clothes, and they didn't know if it was a habit or something wrong with the road.

Pay attention to the chat of passers-by, you can hear at least four accents without deliberate discrimination, and most of the clothes on the heads of the Qians can be seen where they come from. Obviously, there are a lot of new immigrants in Gangneung City, but they can't see the strange costumes, and the Baiyue people in the county have been cleared or driven away.

In contrast to the heavily armed troops that can often be seen in various places, there is no shadow of a garrison near Gangneung Fortress. And Lu Zhe and Heng Zhan just received Tu Sui's order to come over to train the troops, there is no garrison camp here, and they can't understand whether the garrison has changed its location or what has changed.

Asked passers-by for directions, and the group soon came to the office.

It was a small mansion with earthen walls made of stones, and there were no flowers or plants in the earthen walls, only a flat piece of land, which looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, and eight houses were located on the left and right sides of the main building. The gray tiled roof has an unnamed clay sculpture at each corner, and in the middle of the eaves is a spherical "spitting bead", which is the same style as most buildings in the south.

The strange thing is that there are no soldiers standing guard in front of the palace, and Lu Zhe and his group bolted their war horses to a few tree trunks next to the wall, and no one came out after standing outside the government for a long time.

"This county is weird everywhere?"

"Huh?"

After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhe simply didn't wait, and let Su Qiao, who was more eloquent, enter the mansion and call people.

Not long after Su Qiao entered, he said with a strange face after he came back: "Yujun Hou, there is only an old man in his sixties who can't even speak." After listening for a long time, he found out who all the people in the government had gone to Yiling to greet him, and he was the only one left behind. In addition, the nearby garrison also received a military order to move the camp to Yiling. ”

Truly! After entering the city, Lu Zhezhen felt very wrong, and he couldn't say what this kind of wrongness was for. At this time, he listened to Su Qiao's advice and thought of something: "Hengjun Hou, one of us will be left, and the other will go to Yiling!" Who stays? ”

Heng Zhan thought for a while: "You have more personal soldiers, and you are not afraid of small attacks on the road." I'll stay. ”

Lu Zhe immediately decided to buy supplies in the county seat, and then set off again with his own soldiers to Yiling. On the way, he was very strange in his heart, Tu Sui, who was the chief general, obviously arranged the assembly point of the army in Gangneung, who changed this order?

The two places were separated by less than twenty miles, and there were war horses when they set off at noon, even if they needed to make a detour all the way, and Lu Zhe arrived at his destination in the afternoon of the same day.

After entering the realm of Yiling, I felt a completely different atmosphere from the lifeless atmosphere of Gangneung.

Soldiers can be seen everywhere in Yiling, and the main roads have also temporarily set up passes, and the horses and fences placed at the passes are basically filled with the heads of the Yue people.

The outskirts of the small county were completely occupied by one camp by battalion, and the entire county seemed to have become a large barracks.

Lu Zhe observed carefully, and he found that the tents in some camps met the regulations of the Qin army, and the tents in more camps seemed to be collected from a patchwork. When he got closer, he was surprised to find that most of the people walking in the military camp were not wearing the Qin army robes, and the clothes on these people were not only messy, but there were even many people wearing tattered military uniforms of the original six countries.

Probably entered some kind of cordon, and after checking Lu Zhe's waist card, a tun chief in charge of the pass at the back of the road still stopped Lu Zhe and his own soldiers.

The tun chief said respectfully: "The second marshal has a life, no matter who goes inside, he can no longer ride a horse." ”

When Lu Zhe heard this, it turned out to be the deputy commander of the Southern Xinjiang Army. Leaving someone to take care of the war horses, he only brought ten of his own soldiers in.

Tu Sui, who was far away in Hanzhong, could not have arrived earlier than them even if he gave an order, so it means that Ren Huan ignored the order of the chief general and changed the assembly of the army privately?

Lu Zhe, who sensed that something was wrong, thought to himself: "There is a contradiction between the commander and the deputy commander? This does not seem to bode well. And what is the reason for Ren Huan to have the courage to change the boss's orders? ”

Walking in the camp, he strangely saw many old men with white hair and beards, and some thin children who were less than thirteen years old at first glance, these discoveries made Lu Zhe more and more optimistic about the so-called Southern Xinjiang Army.

Seeing that the further inward the security became, the stricter the guard, and the Chinese army camp was all the Great Qin army, Lu Zhe judged a little and calculated the number of tents, and quickly calculated that the Chinese army had one colonel, that is, five thousand soldiers.

One of the 500 lords of the patrol camp temporarily led the way, and they passed through the checkpoint posts in the five camps in a row before coming to the outside of the main tent.

Lu Zhe glanced at the fifty sharps standing outside the main tent wearing armor and holding broadswords, and felt in his heart that Ren Huan attached great importance to his safety. Briefed, approved, and he entered the tent alone.

Lifting the curtain and walking in, he raised his head again, Lu Zhe saw that there were ten more armor soldiers standing upright, and his evaluation of Ren Huan changed again, this is clearly not about safety, but a person who is completely afraid of death!

was stopped again, and when Lu Zhe was a little speechless, a question came from the inner tent: "Is it the public doctor Lu Zhe?" He could only raise his voice back, "Job, exactly." Then he heard the people inside beckoning the armor to get out of the way, and he finally entered the inner tent.

Lu Zhe entered the inner tent and finally did not see the armor again, and in some empty inner tents, there was only one person wearing a short break and no hair, sitting behind the main table with a bamboo slip in his hand. He walked over and bent over and bowed his hand: "Job, Gong Doctor Lu Zhe, see the second marshal." post, on the orders of the general, came first. ”

Well, Daqin really doesn't have any titles like marshal, and the commander who leads the army will be temporarily named a general, but the deputy will be called a second marshal.
