Guo Ye put his ear close to Ma Yuanju's mouth, and Ma Yuanju was like a girl who had just stolen a man, whispering in Guo Ye's ear, and turning his head from time to time to glance at the doors and windows.

The more Guo Ye listened, the more solemn his face became, and in the end, even he couldn't help the horror in his heart, and blurted out and asked: "I'm going, Zheng Sanjiang's water bandit leader is really bold, isn't he afraid of being raided and exterminated?" ”

Ma Yuanju sneered and snorted: "If he was afraid of raiding his family and exterminating his family, he wouldn't be a bandit who robbed his house." ”

Guo Ye still shook his head in confusion, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "You just said that Gu Dezhao said to Gu County Ling that their defeat in this bandit suppression was because Zheng Sanjiang received the assistance of hundreds of mountain bandits from Sunset Mountain, so he defeated his strong class, and even abandoned his armor and fled into the wilderness?"

Ma Yuanju nodded yes, he really heard this, and the words came out of Gu Dezhao's mouth, and he couldn't be wrong at all.

But Guo Ye was still a little incredulous, and said suspiciously: "Ma Gongcao, do you think it could be that Gu Dezhao, in order to shirk his responsibility, made up a foolish mess and made a foolish sunset mountain bandit with hundreds of mountain bandits?" ”

This time, Ma Yuanju stood on Gu Dezhao's side, shook his head and said: "This official believes him, maybe you haven't been far away and don't know, this Sunset Mountain is in Bashu County, a neighboring county of our Longxi City, but it is not far from the Minjiang River. ”

Ma Yuanju swallowed his saliva, took out a copy of "Longxi County Chronicles" from the bookshelf, and then opened it to find a map depicting Longxi County, and found a location in the neighboring county of Bashu County in a small corner in the lower left corner of the map, and said: "Look, Sunset Mountain is in Bashu County, you see, this is the Minjiang River, down the Minjiang River, out of Longxi County, is the foot of Sunset Mountain." Moreover, the Gong Cao Zuoguan of Bashu County and I are from the same imperial examination, and we have a friendship of correspondence. I once heard him say that the mountain bandits in Sunset Mountain have always been a big problem in Bashu County, and they hide in the mountains all year round, and it is difficult for the officials and soldiers to exterminate them. ”

I grass!

Guo Ye's eyebrows stood sharply, according to this meaning, Gu Dezhao was really unjustly defeated this time.

Forty strong soldiers, no matter how good your weapons and armor are, after all, they are not Tang Dynasty soldiers, at best, they can only be regarded as militia reserves in the regular army, although they are called strong soldiers, but they are still far from the regular army.

If only forty strong soldiers want to exterminate more than 100 water bandits and hundreds of mountain bandits, then he Gu Dezhao really has to fight with Li Jing and Li Weigong, the current god of war of the Tang Dynasty.

Why did this water bandit and the mountain bandit get mixed together?

Now it's okay, the conference of the land and water armies is peaceful, how can Gu Dezhao's forty people be undefeated?

Not good!

Guo Ye's mind turned, and he suddenly caught some dangerous breath, and shouted at Ma Yuanju: "Finish the calf, Ma Gongcao, you said that since these water bandits have become bandits, it doesn't matter if they even kill their heads and destroy their families, you said that they have tasted the sweetness of the Zhuang squad of the Gu County Lieutenant this time, and they have discovered that the Zhuang squad used to defend the safety of the county is so vulnerable." You say they won't. Will it be ......"

Guo Ye couldn't go on, because of his careful analysis and his sense of crisis, he foresaw that greater danger was coming.

If these two bandits are combined into one, at the risk of killing their heads, and at the risk of being encircled and suppressed by the officials and troops in the future, they come to Longxi County to do a vote, then just rely on these garrison forces in the city now, what can they use to defend and resist?

Is it just the only twenty or so wounded soldiers left in the Zhuang class?

Or is it with forty quick catches in the city, a dozen soap class soap subordinates and a hundred rabble-like miscellaneous servants?

The more Guo Ye thinks about it, the more numb his scalp becomes, you must know that the Tang Dynasty has been in peace for more than ten years, although it has been peaceful for more than ten years, but now it has not reached the point where the swords and guns are put into the warehouse and the horses are put in Nanshan.

Now it is three years of Zhenguan, and the prosperous era of Zhenguan is only a prototype, and it has not yet reached the kind of Zhenguan for more than ten years, the night does not close the door, the road is not forgotten, and even the four directions come to congratulate, and all countries come to the peaceful and prosperous era.

On the contrary, at this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty had just experienced several years of competition for power at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there were still a handful of remnants of the fallen Sui Dynasty and small anti-Tang forces in many places.

This is an era in which the general trend has been set and the situation is surging, and this is also an era in which the atmosphere is open and the people's customs are strong.

It is precisely the above factors that have led to the illusion that the Tang Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is unstable.

Guo Ye came from later generations and had a lot of understanding of the trend of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, especially the rise of the Zhenguan Dynasty.

After deducing and analyzing in his heart, Guo Ye said with certainty that these hundreds of water bandits and mountain bandits would definitely risk their lives and come to Longxi County to do a big vote.

For these bandits who lick blood from the knife edge, being able to ransack a county town is enough to make them rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and they no longer have to run around for money and food.

For these bandits who are fighting for their lives, what a rare opportunity it is for the garrison of a county town to be so weak and vulnerable.

If this doesn't prompt them to make up their minds to take this vote, then I'm really sorry for the word banditry.

Ma Yuanju seemed to guess Guo Ye's hidden worries, shook his head and sighed in disappointment: "This is exactly why this official was so cautious just now, think about it, once this news spreads, hehe, what will happen to the entire Longxi County?" At that time, there is no need for bandits to attack the city, and the entire Longxi County will also collapse by itself. ”

Yes, Ma Yuanju's worries are not unreasonable.

Especially for those rich and noble families who have thin assets in the county, hehe, people can flee Longxi County, and they can also be taken away from Longxi County, but what about more good land shops and fixed real estate?

When the time comes, what kind of garbled words?

Guo Ye suddenly woke up and urged Ma Yuanju: "Then what are you waiting for, maybe the bandits are already on the way to attack the city." Lord Gongcao, hurry up and ask for help from the Zhichong Governor's Mansion in Yizhou County. Our Yizhou County is a medium-sized county, and the Zhichong Governor's Mansion is equipped with at least a thousand government soldiers, as long as they rush to help, they will definitely be able to solve the crisis in my Longxi County! ”

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's father, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan restored the military system in the second year of Wude, and set up military offices in various state capitals.

Therefore, the highest governor of the Zhichong Prefecture is also known as the Zhichong Commander, generally depending on the size of the state and county and the number of government soldiers it has, usually the upper state and county of the Zhichong Commander is the fourth grade, the middle state and county of the Zhichong Captain is from the fourth grade, and the inferior state and county of the Zhichong Captain is the fifth grade.

The so-called government soldier system originated in the Western Wei Dynasty and was popular in the two Jin dynasties.

The military government soldiers are different from the forbidden army guarding the security of the imperial city, and also different from the border guards guarding the Tang Frontier, its main responsibility is to defend the security of the state capital and to defend against bandits and rebellions in the state capital.

If the state capital is equivalent to the prefecture-level city of later generations, then the Zhichong Governor's Mansion (Military Government) is similar to the armed police force of a certain city in later generations.

Note that it is the armed police force, not the People's Liberation Army.

As we all know, the People's Armed Police Force is only used to maintain domestic security and stability, while the People's Liberation Army (PLA) or field army is the army that truly protects national sovereignty to the outside world.

Therefore, usually on the streets, we can see the figure of the armed police, and rarely see the field army, the PLA soldiers walking in the downtown area.

Without him, because the People's Liberation Army has been training in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, and even the number of the unit is a hidden existence, which is not at all something that ordinary people can see at will.

Similarly, the duty of the Governor's Office was to govern the garrison and conquest within the territory of the state capital, rather than to guard the frontier and protect the territorial sovereignty of the country to the outside world.

The Zhichong Governor's Mansion that Guo Ye mentioned at this time was the only formal military force stationed in Yizhou County, and the combat effectiveness of 1,000 government soldiers was not at all comparable to that of the government officials of the state capital and county government

Ma Yuanju was also upset at this time, frowning and snorting: "What are you talking about?" What you can think of, can Gu Xianling still not think of it? Previously, the county commander had already sent Wu Kui, the county commander, to personally go to the Zhichong Governor's Mansion in Yizhou County to ask for troops. ”

Call~~

Guo Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the whole person was a little relaxed for a moment, and said with some happiness for the rest of his life: "That's good, that's good." ”

However, before Guo Ye could grin, Ma Yuanju on the side sighed a little dejectedly: "However, even if Wu Xiancheng can quickly whip up the Yizhou County to ask for help from the Duwei Mansion, the situation is still not optimistic!" ”

Immediately, he pulled his fingers and counted: "From Longxi County to Yizhou County, at least through the three counties of Bashu County, Maonan County, and Wuzhong County, not to mention thousands of miles, at least nearly a thousand miles away. According to the official's inference, it will take at least half a month for reinforcements to reach our Longxi County. ”

Half a month?

At this time, Guo Ye was really stunned, is the efficiency of the army so low these years? Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War also say that soldiers are expensive and fast?

But come to think of it, there are no telephones, no telegrams, no airplanes and ships these days, and they all rely on a letter, a pair of legs and feet, and a mouth, and sending troops to reinforce this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, it must be reviewed at various levels, and there is no room for sloppiness.

From reporting for help, to sending reinforcements, to finally arriving in Longxi City, it takes half a month, which is really about the same.

However, it took half a month to arrive in Longxi City, is it still too late?

At this time, Guo Ye couldn't be optimistic, and immediately sighed with a bitter face: "Half a month, I'm afraid it's too late." We can wait, the key is that the water bandits and mountain bandits can't wait, Lord Gongcao! ”

Ma Yuan bowed his head slightly, expressing his agreement with Guo Ye's concern.

These bandits originally had the idea of making a fortune and leaving, how could they delay and wait for half a month before attacking and plundering the city.

Immediately, Ma Yuanju got up happily, looked at Guo Ye with a solemn face and said, "This is also the real purpose of this official looking for you today." ”

Guo Ye just wanted to ask, but suddenly, a thin figure walked in from the door, his steps seemed a little hurried, and he shouted into the house: "Yuan Ju, Gu County Commander summoned you to the back hall." ”

Guo Ye turned his head and saw that it was Ma Yuanju's enlightenment teacher, the master of the county commander Gu Weiyong-Mu Gong.

Mu Gong saw that Guo Ye was also present, so he immediately pointed at Guo Ye and shouted, "Guo Ye is also there?" It just so happened that the prefectural commander had ordered you to summon you with me. ”？

Guo Ye was embarrassed, and I don't know if he was nervous or excited, the big brother in Longxi County, Gu Weiyong, actually wanted to see himself?
