Go to the water of Marlow, get off the horse and fall into the grass, and lightly engage in a lonely sail and a long boat.

The drizzle caresses and wets the flower skirt to wash away the worries.

Imperial Mausoleum, Luo embroidery, Huaiting fish, inside and outside the wall, count the diversion in the smoke and rain.

The man in the big river and the small river has a southern bow, and he is still afraid of the dragon and the eastern capital.

Looking at the world, in the rain and fog, it is difficult to collect the water lovesickness.

This poem is written by Liu Youshan, a scholar of Luoshui, and the geography of Luoshui is also mentioned in the words hundreds of years ago.

Luoshui is another government south of Luoqing in the north of the Huang Yao Empire, which belongs to Keqingke Province.

Keqingke Province was the northern gate of the Huang Yao Empire, with 5 prefectures and 17 prefectures. The 5 prefectures are Luoqing, which has fallen, and the current Huang Biao army is stationed in Luoshui, followed by Guangmeng, Xizha, and Jiangting. Due north is Luoqing Mansion and Lanma border, northwest is Luoshui's Huaiting and Xizha, across the Red Mountain is the Longxiang Empire, the west is the empire's pole Yu Province, the east is Guangmeng's back to the empire's Yahai Province, the headquarters of the Huang Biaojun is stationed in the pole Yu Province east of the Xizha, the Jiangting in the south is separated by a river from the empire, and the border between the two provinces of Huangdong and Huangxi is across the river.

At this time, in the Luoshui Mansion, the capital Zangjiugong couldn't sleep anymore before dawn, and now he was sitting in the bedroom sulking.

Yesterday, the herald came to report that the Blue Horse people had all arrived at the Dismount Pass, and the garrison Liu Qingshan only tentatively attacked for a while before leading the men and horses towards the Luohe, and some people even suspected that it was a shot man.

He won't believe this, Liu Qingshan didn't say anything else, his father died at the hands of the Blue Horse Man, how could it be so easy to take refuge in the Blue Man, but a little bit of Maguan, how many people can be in the front team of the Blue Man, and your 8,000 soldiers are not blowing a breath when they come back.

Yesterday, when he received the report, it was already afternoon, so he hurried to the camp of Huang Biao's army, but the arrogant Rentang said that Huang Biaojun's strong crossbow could only come from the Asian Sea at night, so he was stunned that he did not send troops. Where is this excuse, it is clear that he didn't take his capital seriously!

And that damn Chen Donghai, what did he say about the 600,000 troops of the Blue Horse outpost pressing the border, and he was defeated and came to Luoshui for help, what is this? It's clear that I'm afraid of death and I'm looking for a high-sounding excuse, and I'm really a fool!

But there is no way, I know that he is talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he still has to listen to it, first, he is at the same level as himself, and secondly, there is the ancient marquis behind him.

Ay! The Blue Horse people are really, they are tired of being crooked in the Crazy Dragon Cave, and they came to Huang Yao to ask for two military debts. After a while, it's good to take the money and leave obediently, but what are you doing with the horse? That's the territory of the province! How can you tell the government to be embarrassed, and how can the government explain to the people of Luoshui? How to explain to the left minister? How do I explain to my emperor?

"Sir! See you in charge of Zhang! Butler Su Yunhai whispered outside the door.

"Let him wait! Profound! Ask Zhou Hai to come too."

Luoshui Mansion Ya, East Wing Lang Pavilion, Zhou Hai received Su Yunhai's pass

reported and hurried to the Department of Internal Affairs.

Zhou Hai is the judge of Luoshui, mainly responsible for fertile land, water conservancy, operation, litigation, and monitoring of the government office.

The formal official position is called Tongzhi, and it is the fifth grade. and Liu Qingshan is at the same level. The Nine Palaces of the Mansion are from the fourth grade, and the formal official position is called the prefect, which is one level larger than the fifth grade, and it is also the highest chief executive in Luoshui.

Like the fire is like the thousand total of the guard, from the five products, the local people are called all unified.

Tie Magnolia and Feng Zhanyun are both positive six products, respectively, the general manager of the door and the general manager of the battalion, and the place is called the battalion captain. Yu culture is from the sixth grade, the official position is the general manager of the department, known as the captain, Su Pingzheng is the seventh product, the official position is the general, and the person is called the army.

The hair is from the eighth grade, and the official position is Xiao Cavalry Captain, known as the head of a hundred people. Sanyan'er belongs to the Wenjun who accompanied the army, called Daofu, and his official position is an additional external commission, from Jiupin.

Without further ado, Zhou Hai came to the internal affairs of the Tibetan Nine Palaces, and when he entered the door, he saw the Tibetan Nine Palaces pacing back and forth on the ground with his head bowed and rubbing his hands. Zangjiugong saw Zhou Hai come in, took the anxious and burning, straightened up, cleared his throat, the two sides saluted, sat down, and Zangjiugong called someone to serve tea.

Zang Jiugong and Zhou Hai were not interested in the current situation, they were concerned about the food money allocated by Huang Biaojun's garrison court this time, and discussed with Zhou Hai for a while how to get more support from the empire.

also asked the housekeeper Su Yunhai to prepare a generous gift and go to Keqingke Province to walk around. Before leaving, he also insisted on instructing Zhou Hai not to report the fall of the horse, just saying that he had left Luoshui yesterday, and then he would ask the post station to report after Zhou Hai arrived at Ke Qingke and sent the gifts. In addition, don't let people know that he only left Luoshui Yunyun today.

Quietly sent Zhou Hai away and came to the lobby to see Director Zhang.

Zhang Heidan, the official Luoshui director, is the sixth product, mainly responsible for news summons, education, selection, etc., commonly known as the government and government simultaneous interpretation.

From afar, he saw the mighty Tibetan Nine Palaces coming from the yamen, got up busily, and after saluting the officials, he arrived at Lingwen and stood aside to wait for inquiry.

Zang Jiugong politely took the order and motioned for Zhang Heidan to sit down. What Ling Wen said was that after the fall of Luoshui yesterday, Luoshui Xiao forbade anyone to enter and leave Luoshui City, and the whole city entered a state of combat readiness. Around Luoshui, because of the dismounting, getting on the horse, running the horse slope, and the people in Guangyang and other places are worried about the slaughter of the Blue Horse Army, they are now gathered in Luoshui Liumen, and there are many people.

Admiral Huang Xuanwen saw that the crowd was excited and was afraid of causing a civil uprising, so he came to ask how to deal with it?

Zang Jiugong looked at the text, and his face became more and more heavy. said indignantly to Zhang Heidan, "Director Zhang, what is Luoshui?" ”。

Zhang Heidan was asked by him like this, and he was a little confused. Before he could reflect it, he heard Zang Jiugong say again, "Luoshui is the home in the hearts of the 8 million people of Yancheng Wudu!" The Blue Horse army has been killed, they are unarmed, what do you tell my people to do to face those Qiuba who are armed to the fangs! You tell me? Tell me? ”

After a slight pause, his face became more beautiful, as if he had been thinking about it for a while. The Nine Palaces seem to be very helpless.

"Biography! Release"

Zhang Heidan just stood up.

"Oh! Remember to pay attention to order, Su Steward! Su Steward! ”

Su Yunhai ran out of the yamen, "Master! ”。

"Go! I took five hundred taels of silver for Director Zhang, and I was hungry all night in the cold ground, how could I add to their stomachs, hey! ”

Zhang Heidan's heart was warm, and he said that the prefect loves the people so much, and Luoshui is blessed! He said a few polite words to the Nine Palaces of Tibet, accepted the money, and left the mansion in a hurry.

The current Luoshui City is earlier than ever. Liu Youshan, an old man in his seventies, dressed in a green cloth shirt, with a three-inch sparse beard, looks elegant and decent.

They are going to Luoshui Mansion to ask the official to send troops to dismount, people are old, but they can't give up this landscape, last night he heard that the dismount fell, he didn't sleep all night, closed his eyes is the scene of the dismount being slaughtered by the blue horse, he took the lead in asking the government for his life as soon as the morning dawned.

The Luoshui Refiner Guild is full of people, some handing over weapons to officials, some handing over equipment to defend the city, and some handing over firearms、、、、

Shao Shiqiu, the president of the Luoshui Refinery Guild, is 80 years old this year, and he looks like a middle-aged man. He looked at the bundles of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows in front of him, and instructed his subordinates to carefully check whether the arrows were deformed, whether the bows and crossbows were inaccurate, whether Xuanyuan could be loaded, whether the car would move, and so on.

These things are related to the lives of soldiers in wartime, and he does not dare to be sloppy, nor can he be sloppy.

The intersection of Hailan Street and Zhenwu Road, the Medicine Refining Guild. Xu Changting quietly called his subordinates down. "You have suffered a thousand cuts, such a loser, can't you mix alcohol with water? Also, and the blood clotting agent 、、、 mixed with flour! "President! Most of those are the Luoshui guards who put us here? Appropriate 、、、、" "Dead man, you! Put it here for a year, and give those few storage fees enough for you to drink water! Pig brains, you! Besides, the blue sycophant is bigger, and the place can eat our Huang Yao? When have you ever seen a blue horse cross Luoshui? Xu Chang said indignantly.

looked at the subordinates who were still a little unconvinced, and continued, "Listen to it all for me!" This time, you are all the heroes of our Medicine Refining Guild, and the reward is 20 taels of silver, remember, keep your mouth tight for me! Do you hear that? ”

"Yes--oh," the members had been miserable.

Then Xu Changting waved his hand and scattered.

War is like this, when he comes, some people work hard for the country, and some people open the tongue of desire.

The hall of Luoshui Mansion was full of staff, masters, lieutenants, and generals、、、、、。 Some say that Liu Qingshan's command is ineffective, some say that Liu Qingshan is greedy for merit, and some doubt whether the rumors are true, and what Liu Qingshan should do if he defects to the enemy、、、、、 there are different opinions.

Liu Youshan patted the chair under him and said indignantly: "Everyone! Blue Horse people deceive me Huang Yao no one, in that place called Luo Qing, 100,000 bones and blood are buried, I Huang Yao is a big man, outstanding people, not to mention the martial saint Liu Napo in Wanshan, Huang Biao's army also fought the mountain and sea line, broke through Chu Pass, Huang Shuai waved his sword and slashed the Western God of War Hu Chong, there are Dragon Guards in the distance, there are Tiger Guards nearby, Huang Biao's camp has been stationed in my Luoshui City, is it difficult to learn that Huangkou child is afraid of the Blue Horse people! The old gentleman spoke eloquently, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at the place where Huang Biaojun and Tongren Tang were sitting.

Rentang, Huang Biao's military commander, 50 years old, a suit of armor, a national face, and a tall horse. The official worships the city gate collar, from the four products. Looking at the intrigue of this group of civilian officials and military generals in front of him, he was very bored. Although he is a martial artist, he also knows the bit of officialdom, and now that the Blue Horse people have come to the city, this group of officials and men are still pushing each other and fighting for power and profit.

The Blue Horse people dismounted, Liu Qingshan has no news so far, he has a bad premonition, and the twists and turns are definitely not so simple. It is by no means imaginable for this group of pedantins who either love officials as their lives, or are ignited with patriotic passion in a few words, and want to fight to the death.

With Liu Youshan's impassioned speech, everyone's eyes looked at Rentang intentionally or unintentionally.

Ren Tang knew that it was not a way to drag it out, not to mention that he was originally here to fight the blue horse, and now the hopes of all walks of life in Luoshui for the war were too ideal, and if he looked forward and backward now, it would be easy for him to make a public grievance. The first batch of crossbow bolts had also arrived from the Asian Sea last night, and although the number was not very large, it was enough to deal with the Blues at the moment.

It's just that Liu Qingshan hasn't had any news since yesterday, and he is really a little stunned when he first arrives without touching the situation.

Yesterday he sent a lot of scouts, because the night was dark, the news brought back was not very sure, probably knowing that there is now a battalion in the dismount, according to the blue horse military system, that is, about 800 people. When he came, the empire deliberately made a big show and issued a statement to the northern continent to denounce the Blue Horse people. But now the Blue Horse people have 800 people and horses, and they dare to fight against Huang Biao's army of 20,000? I don't believe it if I kill him!

Suspicion is suspicion, but the next step is to send troops to dismount. Look at the big officials and colonels in this class, and the master and son are really cowards!

Standing up, Ren Tang made a parity salute to the Tibetan Nine Palaces, and the Tibetan Nine Palaces returned the salute. The crowd was silent.

"Brother Tibet! Did the message bird fly back? Rentang asked calmly.

Zang Jiugong knew that it was the original, straightened his clothes, and said with a solemn face, "No, does the general think that the garrison is 、、、?"

Without waiting for the Nine Palaces to finish speaking, Ren Tang raised his hand to interrupt, or calmly said, "How many defenders are there in the city now?" ”

"The garrison has 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers! 800 lieutenants of the government office, 300 quick catchers, 1000 public security assistants, and 、、、"

"My lord! There are also generals from various prefectures, Mending, "a Zanshan got up and reminded (Zanshan: from the six products, the civil officials belong to the Ministry of Rites).

"Hmmm! Luoshui is a famous city in the world, the city is strong, and there should be no arrow, so there will be a lot of labor to defend the city, and you will be able to cut down the army without further ado! It's hard work! Ren Tang Dynasty everyone hugged their fists and saluted, everyone returned the salute, and Ren Tang walked out of the lobby.

On Luoshui Street, Huang Biaojun's army was like a black iron stream, moving quickly, and most of the people on both sides of the road were looking at this rare imperial powerhouse, crowded densely, and some roofs were also full of people.

"Tsk! See, this is the elite! ”

"Scared! You still need to say it! ”

"It's incomparable! Look at the people, look at our garrison, hey! ”

"Lao Wang! Do you see it, so many people in front of you can see it so low? ”

"You! You! How do you speak? Did I hear that? ”

"Long live Huang Biaojun!"

"Beat the Blue Horse Dog! Hello to me."

"Beat the Blue Horse Dog! Hello to me."

"Defend our dignity with our blood, long live Huang Biaojun! Long live Luoshui! ”

The same slogan of the mountain and the tsunami, in less than two days, the people of Luoshui enthusiastically sent these cheap compliments to Huang Biaojun again. Some recruits couldn't help but shout along with the ups and downs of their hearts, and for a while the sound shook the world and made them angry.

As those gorgeous and impassioned words opened people's hearts, and the shouters became more and more vigorous, a huge wave of sound hovered over this ancient city. The people below were moved by their own screams and wanted to cry.

Porridge shacks at the entrance of the north city were receiving an influx of refugees, and the occasional civilians and soldiers collided and dodged in the narrow streets. But that didn't stop him from shouting the beautiful rhetoric.

Zang Jiugong bowed to Ren Tang, saying that these hard-working generals, there are General Lao's eggs, Liu Youshan sighed with tears in his eyes, "How can Huang Yao not be happy once!" That can not be happy! ”。

The garrison on the city gate saluted the Huang Biao army under the city wall enviously, and people on both sides of the street have been crowding, shouting, crying, laughing、、、、、 and the army is marching.

The fragmented life of the porridge shed shop, the crowd of people boiling in the bluestone mist, and the ups and downs of big and small officials, like the priorities of a pen and ink, depict the upcoming dusk of Luoshui.
