Chapter 287: Lin Yi Captured

The Sui had three divisions, three dukes, five provinces and other bureaucratic institutions, the three divisions and three dukes were revered and participated in the discussion of politics, but they did not care about the facts, and it was actually the five provinces that held the actual power of the imperial court.

Among them, the Ministry of Internal History is the decision-making body, responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edicts, and Chen Ping was in the mansion of King Hanjiang City of Qi, and the general secretary who came to inform Yang Guang's oral edict was the Ministry of Internal History.

The executive organ of the Shangshu Provincial Party Committee is the main organ in charge of military logistics affairs.

Shangshu Province set up a Shangshu order, one person on the left and right servants, of which the order is often vacant, and the affairs in the province are presided over by the left servants.

Under the province of Shangshu, there are six Cao, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Degree Branch, and the Ministry of Industry, and each Cao has one Shangshu. The left servant is in charge of the affairs of the officials, ceremonies, and soldiers, and the right servant is responsible for the affairs of the branch, the capital officials, and the Ministry of Works.

There were 1,000 guards in Liuhe Mansion, led by Zhou Faxian, a hussar general who was the chief of the mansion, and went to Linyi to gather.

Although grain is collected from nearby prefectures and counties, special items such as weapons, horses, and clothing are not necessarily neat in prefectures and counties, and they still need to be dispatched and sent from the DPRK.

In Shangshu Province, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Degree Branch were directly in charge of logistics affairs. The weapons and uniforms were under the responsibility of the Treasury Department under the Ministry of War, and the money was attributed to the degree.

In the army, there are warehouses, cavalry, armor and other logistics departments, such as Liuhe Fuzhong, there is a warehouse in charge of weapons, and there is a grain department that stores grain. In logistics agencies, full-time personnel are called joining the army or joining the army.

Sui has a military warehouse and a community warehouse, Chen Ping and the people went out with the army to Linyi, and the military rations were transferred from the border states, but there is no need to worry, but before arriving at the assembly place, from the time of departure from Liuhe Mansion, the rice and grain needed are all brought by themselves.

Chen Ping led Zhang Shan'an and other guards, gathered in Liuhe Mansion, and received weapons and other utensils from the warehouse. Then, take the river boat, go up the river, turn to the land route in Jiujiang, pass through Yuzhang, Shi'an, Yongping, Ningyue, and arrive at Jiaozhi in the middle of October in the first year of the Great Cause.

Jiaozhi is the Hanoi of the later generations, after a little repair, obeying the dispatch of Liu Fang, the guards of the Liuhe Military Mansion arrived in Jiuzhen in late October, and at the beginning of the eleventh, the forward has arrived in the area of the South Jiaogu of Japan.

This is the border of Linyi.

Linyi is located in the northern edge of the tropics, the tropical monsoon climate, although it is November, into winter, the temperature of Linyi is still more than 20 degrees.

But the population of Linyi is not as large as the Central Plains, the mountains and forests are luxuriant, lush, walking in the forest, only feel that it is hot and unbearable.

A trail stretches out in the dense forest, and the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides rush to the top of the path, absorbing light and heat.

Insects and birds chirping, on both sides of this path, there are hundreds of people sitting, just burying pots to make rice, taking firewood on the spot to make a fire, in an orderly manner.

Beside a stream in the forest, there were a dozen or so people, all sitting in one place, all dressed in military uniforms, with knives straddling their waists, and a map on the ground, which was very simple, with traces of charcoal added on it.

"We should be in this area now, ten miles away from the Yanli River, this is a natural danger, and the enemy will definitely arrange for the army to occupy it." The map is too brief, just such a map, Chen Ping asked for it from Zhou Faxian, and Zhou Faxian got it from Liu Fang when he was in Jiaozhi.

Pulling out the charcoal pen, Chen Ping drew a small curved curve on the map, representing the current trail, and roughly drew the terrain on the side.

"Since entering the territory of Linyi, I have not encountered any enemies. The last time the imperial army defeated the king of Linyi, the number of his army should not be much, and judging from the situation encountered along the way, perhaps the enemy would have fled long ago. Zhang Shan'an pointed to a point on the map and said, "If you want me to see, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping, we should move forward at full speed and reach the capital of the country." ”

Chen Jiutong nodded in agreement: "As long as the king Fanzhi is captured, this is a great achievement, and maybe he will be given a knighthood." ”

The enemy did not encounter on the road, but I saw several villages, but all of them were withered, thatched houses, there were not many Ding Zhuang in the village, and I saw Chen Ping and others from a distance, all of them hid in the house and did not dare to come out, and there were young and strong people, and they even went into the jungle.

The enemy is really frightened, and Zhang Shan'an and Chen Jiu's words are not unreasonable.

"I think it's too risky to do this, after all, we only have a hundred guards, and although the enemy is afraid of the previous time, there are still soldiers to fight in his country. This map is rudimentary, and if you advance too far from the rear army, you will probably be unable to escape if you are ambushed by the enemy. Wen Xiaohai had a few red envelopes on his face, which were caused by mosquito bites in the forest, but fortunately, only marks were left and there were no infections, "We don't have any profits, and there is no one to get along, so it's better to be careful." ”

Chen Ping thought for a moment and looked up at the end of the trail: "How long have Han Yiqing and Fan Wu gone?" ”

"It's almost half an hour." Zhang Shan'an said.

Han Yiqing and Fan Wu were sent out as Hou Qi first, and half an hour was the agreed return time.

"Eat first, fill your stomach, and wait for the two of them to come back." The information is incomplete, so you can only touch it, Chen Ping said.

Marching all the way, burying the pot to cook rice has long been practice makes perfect, and when Chen Ping and the group of leaders discussed, the meal was ready.

The rice was freshly made, and there was also dried meat, and half a palm-sized portion per person, these were all private goods prepared by Chen Ping, and they were brought with the army.

After Chen Ping ate half of his meal, the sound of horses' hooves finally came from the path, Han Yiqing and Fan Wu came back, and there was still a person on Han Yiqing's saddle.

"Five miles ahead, there is a village, we captured one of them, and we almost killed them." Turning over and dismounting, Han Yiqing directly dragged the person on the saddle down and brought it to Chen Ping, "This person will speak our words." ”

"The general spares my life, I'm just a passing businessman, who came to Linyi to run a property and buy and sell some things, I don't want to misunderstand, I hope to let me go." The person who was arrested had bruises on his face, which should have been left from the fight, and his appearance was no different from Chen Ping's people, but he was dressed in a very different way, wearing a gray robe and cloth draped over his body, with bare feet, and heavy yellow calluses on the sides of his feet.

A guard handed over an iron box to Han Yiqing and the others, this kind of square iron box was made by Chen Ping by taking advantage of the gap between the march and repairing, and found a blacksmith from the state and county mansions that passed by, which was not only easy to carry, not afraid of breaking, but also able to boil water.

Diseases come from the mouth, and a sip of hot water can avoid many diseases.

Chen Ping chewed the dried beef and looked at the captive's feet a few times: "You said that you are a businessman, so where are you from?" ”

"Cochin."

"Why do you want to come to Linyi to do business, and what kind of goods are you selling?"

"Rice grain, this year, General Liu led people to conquer Linyi, Linyi suffered heavy casualties in the country, rice was not harvested, many people starved to death, and there was a shortage of rice grain, so I bought rice and grain from Jiaozhi and came to Linyi to sell it in exchange for some gold and silver."

"You're alone?" Chen Ping picked up the shredded beef between his teeth on the tip of his tongue.

"I'm alone, a small business, but I'm not greedy, I'm greedy, but I'm worried about people robbing me." The captive replied in a low voice, and his words were smooth, "I hope the little general can let me go, it's all a misunderstanding." (To be continued.) )
