"This ......," Wang Chengye muttered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What do you have to worry about?"
"Although Princess Jin Yao is a folk woman, she is canonized by the emperor after all! Changshan's matter, the court just knew, the official still has a pretext, if he killed the princess, wouldn't the official be the same as An Lushan, the crime is rebellion! Therefore, the official thinks that Princess Jin Yao cannot be killed! ”
"But as long as she lives, she will be a big trouble for adults!"
"Lord Zhang is too worried, Princess Jin Yao is just a weak woman, this official sent heavy troops to imprison her in Yangquan Pass, she is now unable to move an inch! How can it be troubled! ”
Yangquan is thirty miles west of Niangzi Pass, and imprisoning Qiu Aqing in Yangquan is tantamount to putting her under Wang Chengye's nose.
"Adult ......"
"Master Zhang doesn't need to say more, this matter has its own measure! That's it! Wang Chengye sank his face: "Lord Zhang, you should understand that you, the servant, are the result of the recommendation of this official!" ”
Wang Chengye's face changed, Zhang Tongyou didn't dare to say more, so he had to get up and say: "Tongyou doesn't dare, I'm willing to be driven by adults!" Tongyou came by order of the court this time, issued a holy decree for the lord, and the military situation ahead was urgent, so Tongyou rushed back to Chang'an to return to the emperor......"
"Wait! The official has another matter, and he is worried, and Lord Zhang is here, just to discuss with Lord Zhang. ”
"Don't dare, please speak."
"The Taiyuan army claims to be 20,000, but the actual number of troops is actually less than 10,000. This official has issued the following letter, ordering Hedong Prefecture to recruit 10,000 government soldiers and send them to Niangzi Pass. But today, only 3,000 people have been sent from all over the country. Now that the military situation is urgent, the official is trying to send a capable agent to urge the conscription. Lord Zhang is shrewd and capable, and he is the imperial court's servant, so please ask Lord Zhang to take a trip, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Zhang Tongyou said: "It is a long-term plan for adults to recruit troops. Zhang is duty-bound. It's just that Zhang has a proposal. ”
"Please."
"Your Excellency has recruited 10,000 soldiers, and it is enough to garrison the three passes of the West Road. However, if you want to get out of the Jingcheng Pass, enter Hebei, and dominate the world, where is 10,000 horses enough. Tong Yu thought that the adults could recruit 100,000 horses! ”
"But it's hard to say from the court." Wang Chengye said. Without the will of the imperial court, it is a taboo for the imperial court to recruit people without authorization.
"Don't worry, sir! The imperial court can't even take care of itself, not to mention, they still have to rely on adults to guard the east of the river, and they don't dare to say half a 'no' word to adults! ”
"And what about after that?"
"Later? The adults have 100,000 male soldiers in their hands, and the court doesn't dare to say half a 'no'! Zhang Tongyou laughed: "Tongyou, let's do it, adults wait for good news!" ”
……
Yangquan is a small city located in the Taihang Mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides, thirty miles east of the city, is Niangzi Pass.
Yangquan itself is a pass, and it is the westernmost pass of the three passes of the West Road.
Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng Pass are purely military fortresses, with only garrisons and no residents. Yangquanguan is a small county town, although the population in the city is not much, but there are three or four thousand households, in the barren and stretching Taihang Mountains, it is a big city.
Most of the households in Yangquan are military households, that is, the family eats food and serves as soldiers. This is the result of the government military system - military households are registered by the government, hereditary replacement, and their ancestors have been professional soldiers for generations. The so-called "twelve volumes of military books, with the name of the master" in "Mulan Ci", is what it means.
In the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, the military system had been corrupted. Although Yangquan's military households are still registered, almost no one really takes this military register seriously. Although Yangquan Pass is a pass, with the increasing expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Yangquan, which was once a strategic border place, has become the mainland. This pass has lost its strategic significance, and those former professional soldiers have long since sought other jobs. The military register is still there, but the people on the military register either grow grain or do business, and they have long forgotten their military household identities outside the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Therefore, when the wolf smoke of war rose in the east, both the government and the people were caught off guard. The government took the military register to recruit military households, which made the whole county jump.
In the county court, the county magistrate Huang Richun was anxious about the identity of a military household.
Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, Huang Richun slapped the shocked wood and shouted below: "Bai Xiaode, now An Lushan is rebelling, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Jingcheng Pass." The imperial court has sent a letter that all Tang military households should be recruited immediately to fight against the rebels. After investigation, your family is a military family for generations, and you are the only son in the family, and you have no other brothers, so you should be among the conscripts. However, this county has sent people to recruit you many times, but you have pushed back and obstructed, prevaricated and shirked, and flouted the laws of the Tang Dynasty, do you know what crime you should be guilty of. ”
Kneeling in the hall was a fat and ugly man, the man had dark skin and a short body, and his body seemed to be horizontal and long, with little difference in width and height, and from a distance, it looked like a juju rolling on the ground. On a fat face, a pair of eyes were squeezed into two slits by the fat on the face, kneeling on the ground, with a bitter look on his face.
"My lord, Bai is really not a military household!"
"Bold!" Huang Richun shouted: "The military register is clearly written in black and white, you dare to deny it!" ”
Bai Xiaode said with a sad face: "Bai is not denying, there is some reason for this matter. Adult, you know, Bai was originally just a cloth cloth, he likes fists and feet on weekdays, knows some guns and sticks, and is loved by adults, so that Bai can be a head in the county government......"
"That's right, then you should be more grateful and help the county solve problems!"
Although Bai Xiaode is ugly and short, he is quite famous in the hundreds of miles around Yangquan. This person once walked the rivers and lakes, got to know many heroes in the rivers and lakes, learned a good kung fu, was proficient in swords, guns, swords, halberds, and used a strange knife on weekdays.
The Mo knife is a heavy killing weapon in the Datang standard blade. The general Mo knife, one zhang long, weighs twenty-five pounds, and is open on both sides. This kind of weight, reaching the limit of the weight of cold weapons, more than 25 pounds of blades, can only be used as decorations, such as honor guards or something, can not be used to kill the enemy in battle. Even the twenty-five-pound Mo knife is rarely equipped in the Tang Army, not because of the number of Mo knives, but because there are too few people who can dance the twenty-five-pound Mo knife on the battlefield for an hour.
And Bai Xiaode's height is only five feet, and his Mo knife is one zhang long and weighs fifty catties, which is twice as heavy as the ordinary Mo knife, and the Mo knife weighing fifty catties is in Bai Xiaode's hands, not an ornament, but a real killing weapon!
The fifty-pound Mo knife is just in his hand, dancing for an hour, and it is not a problem.
The Mo knife is the nemesis of the cavalry, a twenty-five pound Mo knife, if the user plays it properly, a knife can cut off the horse's head.
And Bai Xiaode used a strange knife to split a war horse in half.
It is precisely because of Bai Xiaode's courage that the county order Huang Richun cherishes talents and recruits him to the county government to be the head of the capital. Speaking of which, this Huang County Order is still a discerning talent.
Bai Xiaode said: "The adults are kind to the small people, and the small people remember it. It's just that there is indeed a secret in the matter of the military register. A year ago, there was a fire in the west of the county government, but fortunately, it was quickly extinguished and did not affect the county government. But most of the military books hidden there were burned. The military register is a major event of the military aircraft, and the military register is destroyed, and Yangquan County must be responsible! Therefore, the adult ordered Niu Kan and the villain to remake the book and remedy it. ”
"The county knows about this, don't be verbose!" Huang Richun shouted: "Taiyuan Mansion came to Wen Mu, asking the county to recruit five hundred soldiers within three days and send them to Jingcheng Pass to resist the rebels. If this county misses Lord Wang's life, where can this county afford it! Hello, instead of solving problems for the county, you take the lead in disobedience! ”
"My lord, please let me finish my words." Bai Xiaode said: "My lord, if you want to remake the register, you must know the names of the military households contained in the military register. However, those military books have been sealed in the west for 20 years, and in the past 20 years, no one in the yazhong has read them, and Niu Kan and the villain have no chance to see them, and they don't know what names are on the burned military books. Niu Kan consulted with the villain, compiled the names of some people in the county, and wrote them in the military register. In order to make up the number of people, Niu Kan also filled in Xiaomin's name, he told Xiaomin that these military registers actually have no practical significance, anyway, the world is peaceful and will not fight, that is, use Xiaomin's name to relieve the worries of adults. Xiaomin was supported by Lord Meng, so naturally it was not easy to refuse, so Niu Kan wrote Xiaomin's name into the military register. ”
"What!" Huang Richun was furious: "What nonsense! ”
Bai Xiaode bowed his head and said: "My lord, what the villain said is true!" The villain is also a reasonable person, even if the villain is not a military household, when the country employs people, the villain should also share the worries of the adults and take the initiative to sign up for the army. It's just that the villain's family has an eighty-year-old mother in the hall, and the villain is the only son in the family. Adults can ask Huang to come and testify. ”
Although Bai Xiaode is ugly, he is a filial son, he is the only son in the family, according to the law, even if his name is in the military register, he can be exempted from military service.
Huang Richun slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Where is Niu Kan!" ”
"Humble duty!" A white-faced master walked over from the side hall and saluted Huang Richun: "What's the matter with the humble position?" ”
Before Huang Richun could speak, Bai Xiaode jumped up from the ground: "Niu Kan, in order to make up the number of people, you wrote Bai's name in the military register, and you made this matter clear to Lord Huang!" ”
Niu Kan exclaimed: "Master Bai is saying that Niu has faked!" The conscience of heaven and earth, the military register is a major event of the military aircraft, Huang was ordered to make up the military register, conscientious, serious, how dare he fake! Bai Xiaode's name was originally in the military register, and the little one didn't write your name! ”
