“。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info. Wu Shaogang was appointed as the defense envoy of Tongchuan Mansion Road and the history of Luzhou Thorn, and he admired this. ”

The official residence of the former division of the hall, the lobby.

Wu Shao just got up and took the holy decree.

Ma Huaxuan, the commander of the palace front division who announced the decree on his behalf, put away his serious expression, and a cordial smile appeared on his face.

"Envoy Wu, congratulations."

"Don't dare, thank you for your fulfillment."

Wu Shaogang's attitude was very respectful, and the emperor chose to let Ma Huaxuan announce the decree on his behalf, which has a very profound meaning, which shows that Ma Huaxuan has an unusual status in the emperor's mind, and it is also an opportunity for Wu Shaogang to ask for soldiers.

Wu Shaogang served as the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fulu and concurrently served as the assassin of Luzhou, and there was no doubt that he went to Luzhou to quell Liu Quan's rebellion, but Wu Shaogang went to Luzhou alone, even if he had great ability, it was impossible to quell the rebellion.

In the final analysis, Wu Shaogang must have soldiers in his hands.

The local army on the road of Tongchuan Fulu was all controlled by Liu Quan, and completely surrendered to Mongolia, and the army in Sichuan led by Yu Xing, the envoy of Sichuan, was defeated by Liu Cheng in the process of quelling the rebellion.

In the final analysis, the army that Wu Shaogang was able to requisition was still the local army in Sichuan, and its combat effectiveness was not strong, and it was quite fantastical to want to quell Liu Quan's rebellion.

Of course, if Wu Shaogang was able to take away some of the sergeants from the urging army under the front division of the palace, then the situation would be different.

Li Tingzhi also wrote a letter to Ma Huaxuan, asking Ma Huaxuan to help, which paved the way for Wu Shaogang.

Ma Huaxuan announced the decree on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, and also understood the meaning.

"Wu Defense Envoy, I am honored to announce the decree on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, this move is the emperor and the imperial court's attention to the front of the palace, when he was in the inner hall, the emperor also once advised, saying that you are loyal and commendable, the front secretary of the palace should give you some assistance when you go to work, I don't know what you want, you can put it forward."

As soon as Ma Huaxuan's words fell, Wu Shaogang followed and spoke.

"The minister thanked the emperor for his grace, the front division of the palace is the most elite army in the court, and the minister does not dare to have too many delusions."

"Envoy Wu, you don't have to be polite, just ask."

"My lord, my subordinates are so courageous, and my subordinates are looking forward to being able to take away some of the subordinates of the Urging Front Army under the front division of the palace, the number of which is about 1,500 people, followed by war horses, grain and grass, ordnance and other materials. . . ."

"What, you only took fifteen hundred people, I heard you right."

"The subordinates don't dare to open their mouths."

Ma Huaxuan pondered for a while, he originally wanted to transfer some of the sergeants from the Youyi army to which the palace front division belonged, and let Wu Shaogang take it away, as for the number of people, it was capped at 5,000 people, as for the sergeants in the urging army, he really didn't think about it, but Wu Shaogang made a request, only to take away 1,500 people in the urging army, such a request is not easy for him to refuse, and Wu Shaogang is the commander of the urging army, and he must be handy to carry his familiar subordinates to Tongchuan Road to fight.

"Well, since you have made such a request, I agree, you can draw 2,000 men from the urging army, 500 horses, grain, grass and equipment can be listed, and in terms of military salary, I will report to the household department and pay three months in advance."

Wu Shaogang had a smile on his face.

Back home, Li Hanwei, Yuhuan and Qingniang are all preparing, Luzhou is nearly four thousand miles away from the capital, the conditions are difficult, it must be no better than in the capital, as for the housekeeper Wu Lin, temporarily stay in the capital and guard the mansion.

Wu Shaogang entered the study and began to list the list in detail.

After Liu Quan's rebellion, Tongchuan Road must be full of devastation, all kinds of materials are lacking, take advantage of this opportunity, carry more grain and grass, has great benefits, although the march will be harder, but compared to the lack of food and looking for food everywhere, the hard work on the road is completely worth it, and the sergeant under the command of Wu Shaogang, after a long period of training, to bear this hardship is nothing.

When the fourth master came to visit the mansion, Wu Shaogang just finished writing the list.

"Fourth master, the house is a little messy, there is no way, I will leave in three days and go to Tongchuan Fu Road."

"Brother, I don't know if it's to congratulate you, or it's not worth it for you, you were originally the commander of the urging army under the front division of the palace, but you were sent out to serve as the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fulu, and what is the history of Luzhou Assassination, this Liu Quan rebellion, but it is in Luzhou City, where it is Liu Quan's base camp, let you go to exterminate Liu Quan, it is difficult to become no one in the court."

"Fourth master, don't say that, I took the initiative to go to Luzhou to suppress the rebellion."

The fourth master's eyes widened, looking at Wu Shaogang, with a shocked look on his face.

After a long while, the fourth master spoke.

"Brother, I really can't understand it, okay, come today, first, it's a farewell, I don't know how long it will take to meet again, you and I have to have a good drink, and secondly, the guild also expresses some thoughts, and I wish my brother success."

"With the help of the guild and the fourth master, I will not forget, the words I said to the fourth master a few days ago, and please keep in mind that Tongchuan Mansion Road is far away from the capital, and it is difficult to know the affairs of the court, so I can only rely on the fourth master."

"Don't worry, if there is something big, I will definitely write to my brother immediately."

"Thank you so much, Fourth Master, the letter can be handed over to the housekeeper Wu Lin, he knows how to deliver it to me."

Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi, Qin Han and others once again began to select sergeants among the urging army.

According to the requirements of Ma Huaxuan, the commander of the front division of the palace, everyone can also select nearly 800 people to enrich the army.

This time, according to Wu Shaogang's request, they made it clear that the purpose of selecting sergeants this time was that those who were willing to take the initiative to follow them could be recruited into the team, and those who were unwilling to go, no matter how brave they were, would not be considered.

There were only two days to select the sergeant, and it was very nervous, but this was Wu Shaogang's order and it had to be carried out.

The progress of selecting sergeants is slow, which is expected by Wu Shaogang, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and finally come to the capital, enter the urging army to which the palace front division belongs, and suddenly want to leave the capital and go to remote Luzhou and other places, there are not many people who are willing, and there are not many officers at all levels, and there are very few sergeants.

In one day, less than 300 sergeants were selected.

Zhang Binghui suggested that he be named directly, but Wu Shaogang did not agree, this time he went to Luzhou, it was a fight that required real swords and real guns, if he was afraid in his heart, how could he do his best in battle.

What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that Chang Mingquan, the commander of the White Army, sent 500 people.

These 500 people are by no means old, weak, sick or disabled, they are all elite people.

Wu Shaogang was very grateful and expressed his gratitude to Chang Mingquan again and again.

Chang Mingquan's answer was also very realistic, as a colleague, he didn't have the courage of Wu Shaogang, and he didn't dare to volunteer to go to Tongchuan Mansion Road to quell the rebellion, he could only show support behind his back, as for the five hundred sergeants sent, it was even more insignificant.

Chang Mingquan's answer shocked Wu Shaogang, and from Chang Mingquan's body, he saw something, and finally understood why the weak Southern Song Dynasty court could become the biggest rival of the Mongolian steppe.

Going to the Li Mansion and meeting his mother-in-law Gong is a pass that Wu Shaogang must pass.

Wu Shaogang can understand Gong's anger, pity the hearts of parents in the world, and his own daughter follows to the remote Tongchuan Fu Road, and it is an extremely dangerous road to quell the rebellion, and the heart of the parents will not feel good.

Although Li Hanwei had done a good job in front of her, saying that she took the initiative to follow her to Tongchuanfu Road, Gong was still very angry, and when Wu Shao just came to visit, Gong reprimanded unceremoniously, leaving no mercy, so that Li Hanwei almost knelt in front of her mother.

Wu Shaogang's face was calm, and he had been listening to Gong's reprimand silently, occasionally explaining without the slightest rebuttal.

Wu Shaogang's attitude made Gong embarrassed.

The wood has become a boat, and the helpless Gong finally told Wu Shaogang that if something goes wrong with her daughter, she will never give up.

During the meal, Wu Shaogang raised a glass to the Gong family and promised that he would never let the lady encounter any danger, and if he violated his oath, he would not be allowed to be like the ancestral hall after death.

Wu Shaogang's oath made Gong's heart soften.

Gong then warned Wu Shaogang that he must pay attention to his own safety.

September 15 of the second year of Jingding.

Two thousand sergeants stood neatly in the barracks outside the capital.

Wu Shaogang stood on the platform and looked at the two thousand soldiers who were fully armed.

"Brothers, we are about to rush to the remote Tongchuan Fu Road, to pacify the traitor Liu Quan, this is a long way to go to the mountains, the road is difficult and dangerous, the journey is even more bumpy, we will encounter too many dangers, however, as soldiers, it is a supreme honor to be able to serve the imperial court, I believe that with the efforts of many brothers, we will be able to defeat Liu Quan, and recover the rivers and mountains. . . ."

Wu Shaogang's words were very brief, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Ma Huaxuan beside him.

Ma Huaxuan's eyes were a little deep, and he didn't speak directly, but looked at the several carriages parked next to the team, and inside the carriages were Wu Shaogang's family.

This expedition is indeed full of danger, I can't imagine that Wu Shaogang actually brought his family with him, such confidence and courage, greatly boosted morale, maybe Wu Shaogang went to Tongchuan Fu Road, can really put down the rebellion.

Ma Huaxuan has always thought that Wu Shaogang is too young and still needs time to sharpen, and he has not had much contact with Wu Shaogang, nor does he know him very well.

"Defense Envoy Wu, this official has nothing to say, I wish you good news as soon as possible."

At the end of the day, the team set off on time, with 2,000 sergeants, more than 200 carriages, and a mighty procession, which attracted a lot of attention.

The people who were talking about it didn't know that this army was actually heading to Tongchuanfu Road. (To be continued.) )
