The barracks were a bit cluttered, probably as a temporary place to stay, and many sergeants were temporarily stationed here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The tents of the Chinese army were quickly packed, and the rest of the barracks were also being packed up quickly, and there were people who went to clean the horse sheds.

Wu Shaogang couldn't see a smile on his face, although the scenes he saw in front of him were very common in the imperial army, even if it was known as the most elite palace army, there was a huge gap in military discipline and military regulations, but looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the details can show the discipline and combat effectiveness of the army.

The barracks of the Hezhou Imperial Army are always tidy, and no garbage can be seen.

The barracks where the imperial armies of Hezhou were stationed, even if they were stationed overnight, would be cleaned up when they left.

This is the basic quality of the army, and if it can't do this, it can be regarded as a mighty army.

Hao Jing and Cai Siwei followed into the Chinese military tent, and there was no smile on their faces.

"Cai Du is in charge, you personally dispatch some of the soldiers, concentrate those stragglers, and tell them to get ready, follow the army to Huaibei Suzhou to conquer, if anyone dares to disobey the order, it will be dealt with in accordance with the military law of the imperial army in Hezhou."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."

Cai Siwei's face finally showed a smile, this is his forte, if he doesn't rectify this group of stragglers, his heart is really not good.

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang and Cai Siwei, and stopped talking.

Wu Shaogang turned his head to Hao Jing and spoke.

"Mr. Hao, I understand what you mean, we are new to the city, it's better not to cause trouble, but this time we can't be too cautious, the situation in Huaibei has deteriorated to the extreme, the Mongolian army on the third road is besieging Suzhou, with only our 10,000 soldiers, it is difficult to take care of everything, so we must have more sergeants to participate in the battle, these sergeants can be supplemented to the army, and there is also some effect, as for their bad habits, they can always be reversed."

Hao Jing sighed slightly, not speaking, he also knew that Wu Shao had just done this, and it was really helpless.

Half an hour passed.

There was a commotion outside the barracks, and soon, Zheng Tongwu entered the Chinese military tent.

"Report to your lordship, the county magistrate of Shouchun County, and the four officers are here."

"Invite them in."

Wu Shaogang's face was very unsightly, half an hour had passed, and the county order of Shouchun County had come late, as for the four officers, they should be the commanders of the leading troops.

The county commander of Shouchun County entered the Chinese military tent first, and the remaining four officers waited outside the Chinese military tent.

The county order's face was red, and there was a smell of wine on his body,

"The lower official is late, and he has not been able to greet the adult, so he should be punished."

"Don't dare, the county magistrate is the parent official of Shouchun, and it is not the turn of this official to punish him."

The county commander was stunned for a moment and looked up at Wu Shaogang.

"The lower officials are waiting for the four commanders who have been withdrawn from Suzhou in the county office, and they originally wanted to greet the adults in the county office.

It turned out that the prefectural commander was drinking with the officers, no wonder it was late.

Wu Shaogang was even more angry, the sergeants who were withdrawn from Suzhou were wandering around outside the city, and some even left the army and went straight in the direction of Luzhou.

"I know, I don't know the grain and grass that this official needs, but I have prepared all the things."

"This, the lower officials are raising, there are a lot of sergeants withdrawn from Suzhou, and the county's treasury is in an emergency, it is really difficult to raise enough grain and grass, and I have to invite my lord Haihan."

Wu Shaogang finally couldn't help it, he knew that this was a trick in the officialdom, Shouchun must have a lot of food, I believe that the imperial court and Li Tingzhi will make arrangements in advance to store a large amount of grain here, after all, there are many inconveniences in transporting grain from Jiankang Mansion and Luzhou Mansion, and the reason why the county order is bitter is nothing more than to get some benefits.

"Lord County Order, this official is in accordance with the emperor's decree and the Privy Council's edict, leading the army to come to the aid and crusade against the Mongol Tartars, if the grain and grass are not supplied, then the only way back to the house, of course, the official will write to the court to play the guilt, because of the lack of grain and grass, can not be maintained, Shouchun storage of grain and grass is limited, can not provide the expenses required by the army, you see."

The county magistrate looked at Wu Shaogang, a little incredulous, the young people in front of him were not too impulsive.

In fact, he doesn't blame the county order, he doesn't know what Wu Shaogang's identity is, because the edict of the Privy Council will not be directly sent to Shouchun County, and Shouchun County also acts according to the orders of Fuzhou.

In the eyes of the county order, the young man in front of him is at most a commander in the army, and if he wants to write directly to the imperial court, he is not qualified, and he cannot be arrogant in front of him, a county commander who was born as a jinshi.

"My lord, Shouchun is indeed difficult, the lower official does not dare to talk nonsense, two days ago the lower official has written a memo to the imperial court, begging the imperial court to allocate grain and grass, if the adult does not believe it, you can follow the lower official to the county government to see, as for the adult is ready to go back to the house, this is not a matter that the lower official can call the shots. . . ."

"Bold, just a county order, dare to speak like this in front of adults."

Zheng Tongwu's roar made the county commander's body tremble, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Great, my lord, it's not Lord Wu, the deputy envoy of Sichuan."

"Now that you know, you dare to speak wildly in front of adults."

"Xiaguan and Xiaguan should die, Xiaguan doesn't know that it was Lord Wu who personally led the army to come, it is all the fault of Xiaguan, Xiaguan will go to allocate grain and grass, and there will never be a grain of grain missing."

Zheng Tongwu was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but Wu Shaogang waved his hand.

"The county commander personally went to allocate grain and grass, the official is very grateful, the grain and grass needed by the official must be allocated in place within an hour, if the time is delayed, the official can punish the county commander on behalf of the Privy Council."

The prefectural commander wiped the sweat droplets from his forehead with his sleeve and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't dare to delay, the lower officials will immediately go to allocate food."

After the county order left, four officers outside the Chinese military tent came in.

Facing them, Wu Shaogang's face would be even worse.

However, after seeing one of the four, Wu Shaogang's face was instantly filled with surprise.

"Commander Chang, aren't you in the capital, why did you come here?"

"It turned out to be Lord Wu, this, it's hard to say."

One of the four is Chang Mingquan.

When Wu Shaogang left the capital, Chang Mingquan was the commander of the White Army under the front division of the palace, and his status was still above Wu Shaogang, and he selected 500 people from the White Army and gave them to Wu Shaogang.

However, after leaving the capital, Wu Shaogang did not care about any matters in front of the palace.

Acquaintances are acquaintances, and reprimands are still necessary.

After Chang Mingquan and the others sat down, Wu Shaogang spoke.

"You are all ordered by the imperial court to go to Huaibei to crusade against the Mongolian Tatars, I don't care what you encountered in Huaibei, why you withdrew, but the sergeants under your command, you need to be strictly restrained, I came all the way from Luzhou, the official road is full of sergeants wandering around, some sergeants have no military discipline, looting the people, its impact is extremely bad, where is it still the army of the imperial court, where is it still my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty."

"These are all sergeants under your command, all of them are stationed in the barracks, you are negligent in management, and you are drinking and having fun in the county government every day, so how can you give an account to the imperial court."

"I know that the war situation in Huaibei is unstable, but this is not a reason for your negligence."

。。。

Chang Mingquan and the other four knew Wu Shaogang's identity, and no one opened their mouths to explain, they all lowered their heads and were silent.

Seeing that the reprimand was almost over, Wu Shaogang also changed his face, after all, these commanders, not his subordinates, said too much, but will make enemies.

"Okay, I follow the emperor's decree and the Privy Council's edict, lead the Hezhou Imperial Army to come to the rescue, and I hope to get your support to fight against the Mongol Tatars, just now I thought, these sergeants still have good combat effectiveness, need to cross the Huai River to fight, what do you think."

Chang Mingquan raised his head, looked at the other three, and spoke.

"The order of the lord, we have no problem, we are all generals under the command of Marshal Xia Gui, and now the marshal is also going to cross the Huai River and go to Shouchun to rest, if the sergeant is under the command of the adult, the marshal is to blame, and we can't bear it."

"This matter is up to me, you don't need to worry about it, I'm just worried that you don't want to cross the Huai River to conquer."

Chang Mingquan raised his head and looked at Wu Shaogang, his face was slightly red.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to say that, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's just..."

Chang Mingquan held back, as if he couldn't speak.

"Since you have no objections, the matter is so decided, the commander of the Chang will stay, and the rest of you, go to the barracks, gather your respective sergeants, and tell them, get ready today, and we will cross the Huai River early tomorrow morning to fight, since the order has been issued, then I will say ugly things in front, if there are those who escape without permission, they will be punished according to the crime of defection."

The other three commanders, hearing this, couldn't help but tremble a little.

The crime of defection is not only the beheading of the person, but also the involvement of the family.

From Chang Mingquan's words, Wu Shaogang had already guessed the reason why the sergeant retreated to Shouchun, this matter was not something he could theorize, it was better not to say it, but since he had led the army to come to the rescue, then he needed to call the shots about the next matter.

Seeing that the other three had withdrawn from the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang stood up and walked in front of Chang Mingquan.

"Brother Chang, could it be that the troops in front of the palace have also been transferred to Huaibei to fight."

Chang Mingquan's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"My lord, after you left, a lot of things happened in the front division of the palace, alas, don't say it, I am now the commander of the Youyi army under the guard horse military division...

Wu Shaogang's face couldn't help but change, the Guards Ma Junsi was the lowest-ranking army among the three divisions, from the commander of the Tabai Army under the highest-ranking and most prominent palace front division, to the commander of the Youyi Army under the Guards Ma Junsi, this is an unimaginable thing.
