Chapter 49 Preparations

"This is Xiao Yu's resignation?" The Emperor looked at the piece in his hand and asked, "How many times has this been?" ”

"This is the second time I have returned to Your Majesty," Shi Shou replied, "Last year, Xiao Yu also submitted his resignation, and His Majesty issued an edict to condolence and retention, and to reward him with property. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Then just like last time, issue an edict to keep condolences and give property." The emperor said, "If I agree to Xiao Yu's resignation the second time, those ministers will say that I don't value the ministers." When Xiao Yu resigns for the third time, I will definitely be allowed to play, if not, those people will say that I am not sympathetic to the minister. Anyway, the mouth grows on their faces, whatever they say. ”

The emperor put down the cantata: "What is the form of Nanjun?" Didn't it say before that as soon as Xiao Yu arrived, those thieves were quiet, why are there so many thieves popping up now? Now that the case of King Dongping's rebellion has not yet begun, I don't want to cause more trouble. ”

Shi Shou bowed down and replied: "The thieves in Nanjun just didn't make a big mess, how could they become a good family." Nanjun suffered disasters year after year, there were many water thieves, and businessmen did not dare to take the waterway, most of them took the water from Jiangxia County to Nanyang, or took Dangyang to Jiangling. The Dangyang bandits were still fighting each other last month and are currently waiting to see what happens. ”

The emperor felt strange: "Wait and see? What are they looking for? ”

"Who is the new Yang Chief?" Shi Shou replied, "Xiao Yu's recommendation of Wang An to be the head of Dangyang has already spread, and Wang An has killed a few bandits from Nanjun, which makes the bandits in Dangyang jealous and want to grab a big grab before Wang An arrives." Then see how the new head of Dangyang governs the county. ”

"Were those bandits killed by Wang An?"

"Please forgive your majesty, the old slave doesn't know." Shi Shou bowed down and pleaded guilty.

"I am now focusing on the case of King Dongping's rebellion, and as a result, Old Man Xiao has blocked me at this juncture." The Emperor picked up the fold and threw it on the ground. "I will do what he wants."

In the Fulu Inn in Chang'an, Wang An handed a written letter to Wei Xuan: "Send this letter to your lord immediately." ”

Wei Xuan replied: "The subordinates immediately arranged for the proper people to send to the prince. ”

After Wei Xuan left, Wang An asked the eldest girl sitting on the side again: "Has the letter to Du Shi been sent?" ”

"Someone has been arranged to send it to Ji County." The eldest girl replied, "Miss Xia plans to return to the cottage after the confession, and is going to take people to Xinye County, and Lang Jun also needs to explain to Yin Lu before writing a letter to them, so as not to cause chaos." Miss Xia also asked Lang Jun if he needed manpower to participate in Lang Jun's anti-bandit operation? ”

Wang An shook his head: "There are many people, so this time I will leave it to Shi Duan." Shi Duan: They also need to prove their strength and ability. Wang An picked up "Shangshu", flipped a few pages, and dropped it again: "These books are too difficult to understand, no wonder those who read books have spent their whole lives on them, how can they have time to do other things." ”

The eldest girl picked up the book: "Or, the maid will read it to Lang Jun?" ”

Wang An shook his head: "No need, I'm just complaining, the exam is about to start, and I'm just nervous." It's strange how rarely I see Shen Tuchen these days. ”

"Dr. Shentu plans to make the medicine that Lang Jun said can anesthetize people, and he is purchasing medicinal materials in the market these days."

"Where did he get the money?" Wang An remembered that most of the money Shen Tuchen earned from seeing a doctor was spent on the paper workshop.

"Miss Yuan is with him, so she doesn't have to worry about money. Nowadays, the salt used in the inn is provided by the Yuan family. The eldest girl replied, "It's just that there are still people who want to deal with Miss Yuan in secret, so it's better to be careful." ”

"Miss Yuan's matter has been resolved, and the Yuan family is fine." With the Wang family and Du Cang coming forward, few people resisted. Wang An glanced at the maid standing at the door, "Are there too many people here, why don't you arrange for some people to go back to Xinye first?" ”

"Who does Lang Jun plan to let go first, Brother Kong? Wei Xuan them? Mr. and Mrs. Li Mao? Or are they the handmaidens? Now that Lang Jun has not many people, he is going to be separated from relatives, what will outsiders think? What do the people who go back think? ”

Wang An felt a headache again: "Forget it, just stay, it's not bad money anyway." ”

"Why did Lang Jun deal with the bandits in Hongnong County?"

"Shi Duan came from the Huqiang Army, often fought against the enemy in Longxi, and can be said to be the best army in the army. Most of the mountains in Nanjun and Jingzhou are dense and forested, so they can only rely on foot soldiers. In the future, I want to gradually move up the ranks, and the suppression of bandits is indispensable. "It seems that the first person to deal with the green forest bandits was Jingzhou.

In the next few days, Wang An closed his door and practiced martial arts in the inn. Shi Duan was in charge of recruiting manpower, and according to Wang An's request, he only looked for those brothers who had difficulties in life and did not commit adultery. On the fourth day, Shi Duan handed over the list to Wang An: "This is a list of brothers who are willing to come out and fight for their lives, a total of forty-seven people." Wang An looked carefully at the roster, which recorded his name, age, military position, specialties and so on. Wang An pointed to a few people: "These people are over fifty years old, and they can still kill people with knives?" ”

Shi Duan said: "Uncle and grandson said that they should be careful of leaking rumors, so they didn't say that they were going to suppress bandits, but that they were escorting goods, so they all wanted to participate." ”

"Give them some money, tell them it's dangerous, and thank them for their kindness." Wang An looked up at Shi Duan, "Do you need to carry out adaptive training, that is, find a mountain and practice your fighting ability on the mountain?" ”

Shi Duan said: "Many of them often have to go up the mountain to chop wood, and they will practice martial arts when they have nothing to do, after all, there are many fierce beasts on the mountain." Besides, we don't know where the bandits' lair is or what the terrain is nearby, so we can only adapt to it when we arrive. I plan to gather them together to get to know each other, and familiarize themselves with each other's fighting methods, so that they can make fewer mistakes, and Lang Jun must ensure the supply of weapons. ”

"No problem."

As a result, the next day, Shi Duan returned the money to Wang An: "They don't want to be punished for nothing, so the money will be returned to Lang Jun." ”

Wang An touched the money and felt deeply: "I have a Zhuangzi in Xinye, and there are a hundred Zhuangding in it, I don't know if they are willing to help me train Zhuangding?" In this way, they will not be considered in vain. "Thirty-seven people were finally decided, and a few withdrew. The Marquis of Chengdu provided the weapons that Wang An needed.

The plan drawn up by everyone is to leave Chang'an in batches, gather in Shangluo County, and then go straight to the bandits' lair, and to carry out this plan, it is inseparable from Du Cang's news. When Du Cang collected the news, everyone decided to take this opportunity to practice the battle formation, after all, after leaving the army, most of them fought alone, without a team, although they were full of confidence when drawing up the plan, but for the sake of their own lives, they still decided to find a place to train.

Seeing everyone's performance, Wang An began to worry, this plan gives people the feeling of gambling, wanting to finish the battle, and the fate in history is often a loser. Wang An entered the enclosed accommodation in fear.
