Chapter 249: Yang Village Yimin

He Tengxiao went north along the Wei River, and after a day and a night of marching, He Tengxiao saw a village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was already dusk, and according to the habits of people in this era, it was time to cook, and now the village was quiet, and there was no movement. There is no trace of any movement in the village.

He Tengxiao thought that it might be that the Liao army had entered Koubei Zhili, and the residents in the village had already run away.

"It's almost evening, so we'll stay in the village in front of us for the night tonight, and we'll leave after dawn." He Tengxiao pointed to a village in the distance and said.

After a day and a night of snowy night marching, the cavalry battalion and the Tengbao battalion were exhausted. Seeing that He Tengxiao ordered to camp and rest, they all cheered.

"General Zhang, is Yang Village ahead?" He Tengxiao asked Zhang Yuyang, Zhang Yuyang is now a battalion general to be awarded, He Tengxiao is above Zhang Yuyang, in front of people, in order to take care of Zhang Yuyang's face, He Tengxiao still calls Zhang Yuyang a general.

He Tengxiao is used to Ling Feng being his deputy, and now that Ling Feng is not around, the position of the deputy is naturally done by Zhang Yuyang.

Zhang Yuyang was born in the imperial examination and has a reputation for raising people, while Ling Feng is only a person who is coarse in writing and ink among the military generals, and the cultural level of the two is not at the same level.

Zhang Yuyang looked at the map sharper than Ling, Zhang Yuyang took out the map from the horse, glanced at it, and said, "It's Yang Village." ”

He Tengxiao nodded and waved his hand to signal the army to move forward.

He Tengxiao's marching speed was not fast, mainly because He Tengxiao's army carried baggage with the army, and the materials carried by the baggage troops were bulky, which slowed down the marching speed of the army. However, He Tengxiao had to carry the baggage troops forward.

The Liao army entered the Kou, the north was directly subordinate to ten rooms and nine empty, and there were few people to the north, and it was difficult to get supplies on the spot, so He Tengxiao could only choose to carry it with the army. Materials are the top priority, and He Tengxiao did not dare to slack off at all for military supplies.

is not only the necessary materials for the army, He Tengxiao also carried a medical officer with the army, the medical officer is the name of the people in this era who follow the army, and He Tengxiao gave the medical officer headed by Tang Jing a new title, this new title is: military doctor.

At first, the people of the Xiao Cavalry Camp and Teng Leopard Camp thought the name was strange and very uncomfortable, but after a long time, everyone got used to the whole title, and they didn't feel that it was mouthy or new when they called the medical officer.

He Tengxiao's army is probably the most distinctive army of Dazhao now. In the eyes of outsiders, this army must be a very strange army.

"Father, there's movement!"

In the village of Yang Village, Yang Shengtian, a young descendant, said to an old man with white hair beside him, and the old man with white hair was the village chief of this village.

Most of the people in this village are surnamed Yang, and everyone is in the same group. In addition to Yang Mu, the old man beside Yang Shengtian has the position of the head of Yang Village, and he also serves as the head of Yang Village, and he also has another more important identity. It is precisely because of the existence of this identity that Yang Mu will have the honor to serve as the chief of Yang Village.

This identity is the patriarch of the Yang clan.

He Tengxiao guessed wrong, there is not no one in Yangcun Village, on the contrary, there are many people who are guarding this village, silently and quietly guarding this homeland that belongs to them.

The surroundings of Yang Village are lonely, and there have been other villages around, but after the news of the Liao army's entry into Beizhili swept through Beizhili like a tornado, the people of these villages chose to flee, far away from their homes, in their opinion, only the farther away from this place of right and wrong, the safer it is.

There is a depression all around, and there will be white snow in addition to endless snow. It's like a blank ink painting, fresh and elegant, revealing poignant.

All the residents within a radius of hundreds of miles from near and far have run away, and Yang Village is the only remaining village with residents left.

It stands to reason that this time is a meal, and there should be smoke curling in the village, but due to the special situation now, because the goal of making a fire is too obvious, it is easy to attract the attention of the Liao army sentry cavalry, and Yang Village has expressly forbidden to make a fire to cook without permission.

There were already sentinels of the Liao army who had visited Yang Village, so the residents left behind in Yang Village were more cautious.

As the patriarch of the Yang clan, Yang Mu enjoys supreme prestige in Yang Village. The name of Yang Village is also because most of the people in the village are from the Yang family.

Yang Mu followed the direction pointed by Yang Shengtian's finger, and saw a convoy coming towards Yang Village, and their target was Yang Village.

From a distance, this team is roughly estimated to have two or three thousand people, which will definitely not be less than this number, and the other side still has a certain number of cavalry.

Looking at Yang Village from the outside, Yang Village is an out-and-out empty city. The purpose of these people in the direction of Yang Village was definitely not to attack Yang Village, it was likely that they wanted to set up camp in Yang Village, and they probably thought that Yang Village was now an empty village, which was just right for them to garrison and rest.

And now the time is dusk, winter is getting dark fast, and in more than an hour, the sky may be completely dark. It can also be explained by using this time to explain that the purpose of this army marching into Yang Village was to set up camp in Yang Village.

It's just that the dress of this army is too strange, and it is also a little more distinctive. Yang Mu had never seen an army wearing black military robes.

Yang Mu couldn't judge the identity of this army, and he didn't know where they came from and where they were sacred.

"Daddy doesn't look like the Liao army, the Liao army is all cavalry, this army is a mixture of infantry and cavalry." Yang Shengtian ruled out an answer. Whether it is the troops of the Liao army of the Manshu tribe, or the troops of the Menggu tribe or the rest of the barbarians, they are all composed of cavalry. This is easy to rule out.

Since it is not the army of the Liao army that entered the pass, it must be the army of Da Zhao. At this time, Da Zhao's army was divided into two kinds, one was the scattered rebels, and the other was the town army that went north to Jingshi City.

Yang Mu looked at the serious appearance of this army, and the order between the marches was orderly, it was definitely not like a chaotic soldier, where would the chaotic soldiers have such a good order. Moreover, the morale of this army is high, and an army with such high morale can never be a chaotic army.

"It may be the Qinwang army who went north to Jingshi City." Yang Mu judged, the white beard fluttering in the wind and snow also has a unique flavor, "But let's be careful, after all, we are not sure of the identity of the other party, and we will transfer all the offspring who are good at fighting in the clan." ”

Yang Mu did not relax his vigilance, and mobilized all the elites in the village to stand by. Embattled.

"Who is the outsider of the village!" Yang Mu suddenly appeared at the head of the walled village, and He Tengxiao originally judged it to be an empty fortress at the head of Yangcun Village, but suddenly rows of strong men with weapons appeared.

The weapons in the hands of these strong men are varied, and they have all kinds of weapons, which are very miscellaneous. However, there is one thing He Tengxiao can be sure of, these strong men are not from the army, and they are definitely not from the town army.

The weapons in the hands of these people are generally some crude weapons of the people, but there are some standard weapons of the town army sporadically, and He Tengxiao guesses that these standard weapons are probably obtained from deserters.

At first, He Tengxiao's chrysanthemum was tight, and the sudden shouting really frightened him a lot, making He Tengxiao mistakenly think that he had received an ambush from the Liao army, if he was ambushed by the Liao army, the consequences He Tengxiao didn't dare to imagine.

However, these people in front of him were obviously not Liao Jun, and the elite man at the head of the village raised all kinds of bows and arrows in his hands and aimed them at He Tengxiao and his soldiers.

Most of these bows and arrows are soft bows, hunting bows, so that there are only soft bows of about five or six buckets, seven or eight buckets in size. Hard bows are also available, but they are rare.

The identity of this group of people He Tengxiao has been roughly determined, this group of people is a township soldier composed of villagers of Yang Village, after the Liao army entered Koubei Zhili, the soldiers and civilians of Yang Village did not leave but chose to stay in Yang Village.

This is the only man and horse left in the garrison that He Tengxiao saw along the way, and it is ironic that this force is not a town army, but a township soldier.

The so-called township soldiers did not belong to the army, and the imperial court was not obliged to distribute food and pay to them in the same way as they did to the town army.

The township soldiers completely relied on the local wealthy clans to form and maintain themselves, and the main role of the township soldiers was still for self-protection. However, the imperial court will regularly inspect the township soldiers in various places, and the township soldiers can prepare common weapons, but the imperial court prohibits the township soldiers from equipping the township soldiers with standard weapons, and once it is found that the township soldiers are equipped with standard weapons, they will be punished as treason.

The imperial court encouraged the development of township soldiers in the hope that these township soldiers would be able to solve local security problems on their own and reduce the workload of the township army. However, the imperial court did not want the township soldiers to become bigger, and the strength of the township soldiers surpassed the township army and thus became a threat to the rule of the imperial court.

Therefore, while developing and using township soldiers to maintain local law and order, the imperial court adopted a series of restrictive measures against township soldiers. The township soldiers, one is in a very awkward position.

"Liaodong He clan Xiao cavalry camp, come north to the capital city of King Qin!" He Tengxiao reported to his home.

Yang Mu's eyes widened angrily, and he had a feeling of being fooled by others: "Bird! Fool us villagers, the He people are in Liaodong, Liaodong is in the north, if the He people are the king of Qin, they should come from the north, you are from the south, how can it be the Qinwang army of the He people! Moreover, the private soldiers of the four major families in Liaodong are not the establishment of the town army, so there is no need for King Qin, and He Fangxiong will meddle in our affairs in the north of Zhili? When we villagers have never seen the world? Don't understand this point? ”

He Tengxiao reported the identity of his He private soldier, Yang Mu didn't believe it at all, not only did he not believe it, but he became alert and began to doubt He Tengxiao's identity.

Yang Mu glanced at the surrounding Yang villagers, signaling the Yang villagers to guard against these uninvited guests.

Yang Mu didn't believe that He Tengxiao was from the Qin Wang Army of the He clan, which was normal. In other words, it is an ordinary person, a wealthy family in the border area who has not asked about the political affairs of the Central Plains for nearly three hundred years suddenly cares about the affairs of the Central Plains, and when the Central Plains is in trouble, he generously sends his own soldiers to King Qin, who would not believe it.
