The Black Mountain group of thieves and commanders gathered together, and there were more than 100 of them.

Although there are few horses in his own family, Deng Ji's current identity is also a party (Note 1), and he still has a place. Kneeling on a straw mat, he also gained a deeper understanding of the idiom "a place".

For later generations, kneeling for a long time does make people feel unaccustomed, just at the beginning of the stability of the wild valley of the Marquis country, Deng Ji also thought about letting the carpenter make some stools, chairs out, but think about it, this era's dedication to etiquette is really stubborn to a point that is difficult to change, as far as he knows, many captives are surrendered because of the other party's courtesy, rudeness, rudeness can easily grudge with others, kneeling is a person to treat others with a correct and serious attitude of the performance, indicating that you face up to others, tradition is definitely not to say that change will change, To reverse this perception and custom, it takes decades of hard work to do it, and Deng Ji thinks he doesn't have the ability.

People must kneel in front of them, and the chair behind them is not as comfortable as the couch, so the simple invention of the chair and stool has to be put aside, and their knees are wronged to adapt.

There are more than 100 Qu Shuai kneeling in the original county hall of the county, the straw mats are connected, naturally crowded, shoulder to shoulder, people rubbing people, the forefront, the closest to the general Zhang Yan is naturally a large number of thieves of all parties Qu Shuai, there are knowing soft instructions, that is Yang Feng, Liu Shi, Lei Gong, Si Li, Su (sui) Gu, Yu Poison, Yu Zheng, etc., as for the back row of small Qu Shuai, there are only hundreds, and even like Deng Ji, there are only a few dozen people to participate, but everyone has no affiliation with each other, There is still equality in status.

On some occasions in different later generations, the person with the highest status always appeared at the end, Zhang Pingnan came earlier than everyone else, sat in the main seat and waited for the commanders of each family to arrive, and someone ordered it, and then began the military discussion.

"Ladies and gentlemen," as soon as his voice sounded, the crowd below suddenly fell silent, and everyone listened carefully: "The autumn harvest is over, Gu Tan Malay newspaper, and the state assassin Shi Zhang Yi supervised the three county governments of Yanmen, Xihe, and Taiyuan, and requisitioned 40,000 people, and lost a total of 1.2 million stones this year's rent, and I want to go to Luoyang through the party to deliver it!" ”

Without any nonsense, Zhang Yan opened his mouth and went straight to the topic, but the Qu Shuai below was shocked by the news he suddenly heard, obediently, 1.2 million stone grain, how high does it have to be piled up, how many granaries do you have to install?

"Are there many officers and soldiers escorted?"

"How did the three county guards listen to the history of the assassination?"

"In previous years, didn't the counties transport themselves, and went to Luoyang from the West River to the East River?"

"Where are the officers and soldiers now?"

"Who's escorting? Can there be a fine mix-in? ”

After a while, the hall was like an explosion, the front row of Qu Shuai asked all kinds of questions, and the back row of those who were not qualified to ask questions exchanged their heads and ears, venting their surprise and excitement.

The crowd was raging, the county hall was in chaos, Deng Ji was sitting in the most remote corner, and he was also thundered by the news, he was so surprised, he was still working hard to survive the summer and fill his belly in the first two months, and now he heard that he would lead everyone to do a million-dollar deal, how not to be surprised?

To feed a population, the annual consumption of grain is only six stones, and 1.2 million stones is enough for 200,000 people to eat for more than a year.

There are 40,000 people who transport grain, that is, 40,000 grain trucks and 40,000 cattle pulling carts, which is also a huge wealth.

Zhang Yi is so crazy? Mobilizing so much wealth to transport it at one time, isn't it obvious that the bandits are invited to rob it?

Deng Ji was self-aware, there was no room for him to speak, his ears listened to the generous Qu Shuai's constant questions, and his brain quickly digested all kinds of information he obtained.

The questions raised were endless, but Zhang Yan just smiled and did not answer, and waited for the noisy voice to gradually fall silent before he spoke again: "You should know that in the past, all the counties in the prefecture used to send grain to Beijing, and Zhang Yiben was not so capable of mobilizing the counties. ”

After arriving in this world, Deng Ji also knew that the history of a state thorn is not a higher administrative unit than the county guard, under the county system, the early Western Han Dynasty set up the history of the thorn to supervise the county officials of the prefectures, there is the right to report but not the right to dispose of, just to see the Son of Heaven, the candidate is also temporarily assigned by the Son of Heaven, Yulu is only 600 stones, equivalent to the county magistrate, not as good as the county order, and then the power of the Lu gradually increased, and there is also a permanent line in the locality, by this time the Yulu has risen to 2,000 stones, and the county guard and the country are on the same level, but there is still no direct subordinate relationship with the county guard, It is really not easy for this Zhang Yi to mobilize the strength of the three counties.

The decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at this time, the nine counties of the state, due to the continuous attacks of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang and other foreign tribes, the five counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shangjun and Shuofang have long existed in name only, not in the hands of the Han family, and the only ones that can be controlled are Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Xihe four counties, and now even Yanmen and Xihe are not very stable.

"There are Xiongnu (Note 2) in the west and my Black Mountain thieves in the east, and the rebellious heart of the Xiongnu is becoming more and more obvious," Zhang Yan showed a self-deprecating smile on his face, and continued: "The two choose the weaker, in the eyes of the government, our bandits are more vulnerable than the Huns, so this year, I gave up Xihe and joined the party instead!" ”

"This kind of grain is transported into Beijing, and the government also expects that my Montenegro will rob it, and the counties are working together, but it is not Zhang Yi's work alone!"

"According to the report of Tanma, a total of 25,000 officers and soldiers from the three counties under the jurisdiction of the assassination history were escorted by Zhang Yi himself, and they arrived in Yu County, Taiyuan County three days ago!"

Hearing the number of officers and soldiers in the state, Yang Feng, who was sitting in the forefront, couldn't help but interject and asked: "General, I don't know if the officers and soldiers are county soldiers or soldiers (shu, not the same word as 戌xu)?" ”

"10,000 soldiers, the rest are county soldiers, and all of them are cavalry!"

"Shhh

Several Qu Shuai gasped, and the state is on the border, unlike other states, in addition to the county soldiers, there are also garrisons. These soldiers often fought with foreign tribes, and they were all veterans who had served in the military for more than county soldiers, and their combat power was not much worse than that of the guards of the Beijing Division, if it weren't for the fact that they were not allowed to leave the garrison for no reason, the Black Mountain thieves would never dare to relax so much. Of course, Deng Ji didn't know that the main force of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry in the future would come from these soldiers.

"Zhang Yi is so bold that he dares to mobilize his soldiers! Aren't you afraid that the Son of Heaven will punish you? ”

The smile followed by the question was Yu Poison, Zhang Yan still knew a lot about the old opponent Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, he nodded and replied: "If there is chaos today, as long as the rent is transported to the Beijing Division, a little bit of a small mistake, the Son of Heaven will not be embarrassed, and offer the things of wealth and silk, there are still ten permanent servants to cover up and help!" ”

"That is, there are ten permanent servants such traitors, and their sins and wealth can be turned into money!"

It is said that Lu Zhi was unwilling to bribe at the beginning, and the prisoner returned to Beijing to discuss the crime; Zhang Rang asked Huangfu Song for money unsuccessfully, so he was exempted from the position of general of the left chariot and cut 6,000 households! ”

"If it weren't for such villains, how could we be thieves?"

"And the great general He Jin? It is said that Ben is a butcher, because his sister has a high position! ”

"The party members are not worth much, how can such a big man not die?"

"The eunuch's relatives are a hundred-year-old tumor, and the Son of Heaven can't make it!"

Because of the mention of the Ten Standing Attendants, the solemn military discussion suddenly turned into a denunciation, as if the person in the middle of the hall was not a thief but a Han Zhongliang. The situation has been basically clarified, and after Zhu Fang Qu Shuai vented for a while, Zhang Yan said: "If the officers and soldiers are allowed to pass safely, my Black Mountain thief will definitely be ridiculed!" ”

The thief is afraid of losing face and being laughed at, which is a joke in itself, but in this era, it is a matter of course.

"Besides, if the 1.2 million stone grain can be robbed, everyone's life will be much better," Zhang Yan paused, and Fang said solemnly: "I am determined to fight with him, if you are unwilling, you can lead the army to go, Yan will not be embarrassed!" ”

Recruit people from afar, if you really go back, there will be a better life in Taihang? Besides, there are so many people and horses gathered that there are so many people and so many food and livestock to grab, who wants to let go? None of the big and small commanders were willing to show weakness, and they all knelt down for a while, and said in unison: "But driven by the general!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded with satisfaction, the pre-war mobilization was over, and the next thing was to arrange tactics: "The officers and soldiers are cautious, and the scouts and cavalry are sent out, and there are more than 70,000 of us, and it is rare to ambush, so we have to form a formation to fight the enemy!" ”

There are many thieves in Montenegro, elite officers and soldiers, and half of the winners and losers in a head-on battle, Zhang Yi has not tasted or borrowed grain and grass as bait to get rid of the Montenegrin thieves in one fell swoop, but Zhang Yan has already made up his mind, and he said loudly:

"This goes to the southwest one hundred and ten miles, there is a small county named Yangyi, officers and soldiers want to join the party, Yangyi is the way it must pass, the situation outside the city is flat, just fighting, all departments will make dinner tomorrow, it is time to open, take Yangyi to rest first!"

"No!"

Note 1: According to the old practice of the Yellow Turban, each department is called Fang, and the commander is Qu Shuai.

Note 2: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty and settled in the Hetao area, and the Northern Xiongnu stayed in Mobei, attacked by the Han, the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., and continued to move westward, and finally entered Europe.
